there are pretty and much less expensive
webs with which women of moderate
means can make a stylish showing. lml-
tation laces may serve. They're pretty
for a time at least, but they cannot be
mended and cleansed as successfully as
the real. The coored laces are not so
extTavagant as are white ones that must
of necessity be cleaned often TO look well.
The shades of grays, browns and tans
that are seen in the laces are very tempt
ing. Many of these webs are simply
Cluny and antique patterns dyed. Rus
sian lace is handsome in dark brown, and
for light weight lace TO make up daint-

The new figured chffons, grenadines

the extreme of daintiness. Not only are
the goods beautiful but they are finely
suited TO the shirring and ruff1ing seen
so much in the new skirts. The color
ings in these materials are very delicate,
and the weaves seem to have taken on
new softness. Such materials make the
shopper wonder if there is any limit TO

bored perpendicular any place you find
they are needed or work best, and

should be large enough so they will
slip in or out easily, as they can be

Rotate Against Insects.

Rotation of crops has a beneficial

the Injurious insects that infest a par

straw berry beetle, fhe Colorado potato
bug. the hessian fly and doubtless
many other injurious insects that at
tack farm crops become much more
destructive where continuous plant

indications of a Good Mixer.

Good respiration is essential to a
good milk flow. In making choice of
a COW see that the chest is long and
the ribs set far apart to give lung
capacity. Large, tortuous milk veins
are always present with the good
mixer A dull-eyed COW seldom proves
good milk COW. A hollow back is
sign of poor breeding, or FASTENED
maturity.
The neck of a good mixer is deli
cate in proportion to her general Duild,
and a little out of proportion as to
length. Hind quarters must be heavy
and set well apart. A COW with II
extra milk flow should be a hearty
eater. A good mich COW is seldom a
handsome COW.

The Improved Farm Grounds.
1t does net necessarily mean heavy
expenses and a vast deal of labor TO
improve the grounds around the farm
home. but such improvement would
add greatly to the value of the place,
to say nothing of the addition to It's
beauty. The first thing to be done
is to get good lawn, the background
Of the picture. Hollows should be
filed In and hummocks leveled so as
to obtain a smooth surface, though
not a fat one unless the ground is
naturally fat. If the space for the
lawn has been properly seeded, all
necessary to do now is a little reseed-
ing, If. however. the lawn IL really
nothing but meadow. it should be
ploNed up and properly seeded down,
using a good lawn mixture. which can
be obtained from any reputable seeds

the plot for a clump of shrubs rather
than dotting the shrubs oyer the
grounds Weigelias, altheas calycan-
thus, viburnum, forsythia and syringa
are among the shrubs suitable for such
plot, and they are moderate in price.
A border for Towering plants may be
made along the walk or near the
house. and in this border may be set
hardy perennials or some of the flow
ering ANIMALS of which one is fond.
If this plan is too elaborate for the
first season, then confine the work
TO getting a good lawn and next year
go on and add the other features.
Three years work of this kind will
make a wonderful change in the ap-
pearance of the grounds at an expense
so small one will wonder why the
work was not done before.-Indiana-

The Paraffine Din for Cheese,


The paraffine method of putting up
cheese is gaining ground, some of the
meetings of cheesemakeI having de-
clared strongly in its favor. 1t costs
a little more than the common sailing
and binding process, but is considered
far more satisfactory and effective.
The parafflne is applied when the
cheese is being cured and made ready
for shipment. Some dairy instructors
advise that the cheese should be left
on the shelves in the factory for sew
eral weeks in a moderate temperature
to grow firm before they are packed
away, but the advocates OF the par
affining method think that as soon as
the product has been shaped and has
become sufficiently dry it should be
dipped in the hot paraffine and then

Preventiu. Foot and Mouth Disease.
Frequent outbreaks of the cattle
epidemic have occurred in Germany,
and more experience has been gained
than in most other sections. A recent
authority believes that the most inn
portant operations are immediate re-
moval of affected animals. and nutri-
tious dieting of animals which have
been exposed. For the purpose of
preventing the disease it is urged that
susceptible animals be rendered as re-
sistant as possible by keeping them
in healthy and well-nourshed condi-
ton. and that the virus of foot and
mouth disease be kept attenuated or
be destroyed by abundance of fresh
air and direct sunlight. In other
words. well-fed cows in sunny, airy
stable are less likely to take the dis
ease. or for that matter. any other
disease.-American Cultivator.
