Nv Means Of the Collar.

Men who do not want to look any
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy means Of accomplishing
their purpose, says the New York Sun.
Not all of them are aware of the effect
that may be created by the form of
collar or cravat.
''I1he stout man who wants to look
as thin as he can" said the haber-
dasher's clerk, "ought to wear tie OF
the kind known as a four-in-hand.
Preferably it should be dark in color
and drawn tight. That carries down
the line of the face and lengthens it
to a degree that tends to make the
face look thinner.
Another aid to making a man look
thin is the height Of mis- collar. Stout
men who want to look thin should
wear high collars and closed ones. Any
collar that opens in front makes one
look stouter under nearly every cir
cumstance. Such collars are becoming
to thin men.
'"The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has horizontal appear
ance. This will add pounds to his ap-
pearance-in his face at least.
ION the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout.
The broad plastron scarfs, as they are
called, have little effect on a mans
looks one way or the other. When he
wears them it is the collar that makes
the difference.
HE should therefore see that he
wears a high one that does not open,
if he wants to look as thin as possible,
whereas if he wants to seem stouter,
an open collar will produce that effect
for him"

It may be said that there are dozen

mans, whom, pardon me, you have in
jured enough already"
Senator Winans passed over the con-
Guiding home thrust, and bowed coldly
but disbelievingly. He turned to his
wife, still burning with resentful anger,
but the words he would have spoken
faltered on his lips as he looked at her.
Her small hands hung helpless at her
sides, her fair face looked stony in a
fixed despair that seemed as changeless
as the expression on the marble face of
the statue that stood in niche near by.
well, madam, l am waiting to hear
what you have to say for yourself" her
husband said, coldly.
She whirled toward him, a sudden CON
tempt burning under her black lashes,
her voice cool, clear, decisive.
This that | do not choose to stand
here and handy words with you, Senator
Winans, exposed to the comment of any
chance passer-by. Whatever more on the
subject you can have to say to me | will
hear at my private parlor at Wizards
Hotel this evening between eight and
nine o'clock, if you will do me the honor
to call. At present, if one of you gentle
men will take me to my carriage. which
is in waiting, l will put an end to this
scene"
She looked quite indifferently from
one to the other, feeling all her latent
pride rise hotly to the surface, as neither
stirred for an instant. Then her lawful
master drew her hand through his arm,
with the cold Difference he might have
accorded a stranger. She bowed to Mr..
Conway, and was led away and placed
in the carriage that awaited her, with
out a word on either side.
And Bruce went back to his aunt and
Lulu, whom he had left talking with some
friends in the rotunda. He said nothing
to them, however, of the scene that had
just occurred.

TO PREVENT FRIGHT ventor TO aDDly
practically the same principle to con-
troll fractions or vicious horses and to
stop runaways which are caused by
the animal taking fright at some OBJ
ject on the street Or road. While the
binder in common use on brides pre-
vents the horse from seeing objects
on either side there is nothing to shut
out the view of anything approaching
which might tend to brighten the ami
NAL and it can also turn it's head IL 1t
hears a noise; but with this new de-
vice the driver or rider has only to pull
a cord lying parallel to the reins and
a bellows-like curtain is drawn over
both eyes to shut out the sight COM
pletely. In this condition the animal
can only stand and tremble until the
object causing the fright has passed,
when the curtain is lifted by releasing
the cord, and the horse travels on as
before The curtain is housed in
small semi-circular leather casing pass
ing over the animals forehead just
above the eyes, and the operating cords
are inserted in the bit rings before
passing back with the reins.

Beets or Ensilage.

Corn ensilage and sugar beets were
tested at the Nebraska station as to
their value as succulent feed when
given to dairy cows. The herd was d.
vided into two lots, the same as in the
experiment for testing alfalfa and wild
hay. The results shown by this expe-
riment were little in favor Of ensilage,
but the difference was Very slight. 1t
seems to be more a question Of how
cheaply the two succulent feeds are
produced than of their feeding value.
Both foods gave good results and were
relished by the animals.

Small Farms to Be the Rule.


In the future small farms will be the
rule More and better products will be
raised on 60 acres than are now on 100
acres. There are farmers to-day who
plant 4O-acre field in corn who could
take the same amount of manure they
used and put it on a 20-acre field, and
get greater yield and Of better quail
ity. Besides this, it will take only half
the tbne to pillow and cultivate the 20
acre field, which would further add to
the profits. What a lesson the market
gardeners are constantly giving to US
farmers. Why, some of them use more
barnyard manure on 20 acres than
some farmers do on 100 acres. The
crops the gardeners get are enormous,
and their land is constantly increasing
in. fertility.
Cost of an Acre of Strawberries.
For blowing, So; narrowing, So;
marking, 90 cents; plants 5000 $50,
average price; plants are scarce this
year. Trimming and preparing plants,
So; setting plants. 81; cultivating with
horse, $3.50: hoeing six times, SIS;
fertilizer, half ton, SIS; four tons Of
straw, $50; applying straw, So. This
makes the cost about 500 for the first
year. Of course the increase of plants
can be used to set new bed the fol-
lowing year. which will make the cost
epe-fourth less. The straw is worth
as much as it costs almost to the soil

ing what it would cost the farmer to

Agricultural Notes.

Agricultural Notes.
Eggplant is gross feeder, but easily
cultivated.
Interest in the apple box grows apace
in the east.
Bone black is said to be good fertil-
izer for parsnips.
Give a good, thorough cultivation be-
tween the rows of strawberries.
Beets will stand considerable cold
weather and may be planted early.
In cold frame or sprout hotbed is
a good place to start lima beans on
sods.
In butter and cheese making every
effort should be made to suppress dust
which, according to dairy authority,
carries more infection than any other
source.
Bees carry pollen from one flower to
another while seeking honey. The real
benefactors are the bee keepers, many
Of whom keep bees for pleasure rather
than for profit. But for the bees many
fruit trees that blossom out full would
produce no fruit.
Such crops as squash, cucumbers and
melons should have all fertilizers ap-
piled by broadcasting over the surface
of the ground. If manure is applied IT
will also give good results If worked
into the soil, although well-rotted ma
nure in the hills will assist the plants
at the start.
It has been demonstrated conclusive
ly that when an animal is fed On
variety, instead of on corn exclusively,
a greater gain In weight is secured.
Corn will excel in the production Of
fat. but bone and lean meat sell in
the live animal as well as fat, rapid
growth being a gain in weight.
Preventing the spread of fungus dis
eases could be accomplished better by
destroying the branches and vines that
are cut away from trees and bushes
than by the use of other methods. 1t
is not sufficient to remove the portions
of trees affected with black knot. They
should be consigned to the flames, as
no remedy Ia as sure In the destruction
Of the spores as fire.

Connecting Pastures by causeway.


1t frequently becomes desirable to
have the pasture so arranged as to
let stock pasture on both sides of
highway. The pasture is sometimes
located on one side of the highway
and yard and watering place on the
other. Much time is required to drive
cattle back and forth.
The difficulty can be overcome in a
very convenient~way Select place
where there is a little rise in the
ground, say from to 4 feet, the more
the better. Construct a wide ditch,
from 10 to II feet, so it will easily adj
NIT team to work with scraper down
at bottom of it. Make it from 2 to
feet deep, as the natural condition
of ground will admit. 1t must be con-
natural drainage at lower side, other
wise it would fill with water after very
heavy rains and be of no practical use.
plank bridge is built across the
opening and the sides planked. 1t
should be made 51a to feet high to
admit the passage of all kinds Of stock
or even horses below. The earth taken
out in digging is used in constructing
the grade on each side of bridge. The
bridge, as well as grade or dump, must
be made as wide as required by law.
The deeper it is practical to make the
ditch, the less it will be necessary to
dump upon the grade A tight fence

Wool Not the wso1e Thing.

While the wool crop is an element to
be considered when estimating the
value of the sheep it must not be
thought the whole thing, and when the
price Of the fleece is low do not turn
away from the flock or turn them off
the farm simply because that product
is not up to what it formerly was says

many other advantages to be derived
in sticking to our white feeced friends.

stake is pressed into the ground near
the vine and the vine is fastened to
it with cord Of a waterproof kind. If
the trellis is built during this first year
this cord is run to the first wire Che
top one) and fastened. The vine will
make the growth about as shown in the
cut during this first year. The trellis is
an important feature of the plan. The
posts should be set eight feet apart,
and so that they will stand about six
feet out of the ground. Two wires are
used In the position, as shown in the
cut, the wires being fourteen inches
apart In training the vine for the
second year cut off all that portion
above the top wire, and as the lateral
canes grow select the strongest opposite
each wire, one on either side Of the
main stalk, and train them along the
wires; this gives us two arms, so to
speak, running along each wire at the
end Of the second year from planting.
The third season the fruiting buds
must be handled, and it is a good plan
to select every other bud to supply the
canes necessary for the upright growth
from the arms. This upright growth
is shortened in from time to time dur
ing the growing season, so as to throw
This system of training requires labor,
but it gives most excellent results.
