GATHERING THE CORN.
Light an Possible and Best Way
of Saving Seed.

The time for gathering corn is upon
us, and we must prepare to meet the
work and have it done in due season,
While the crop in most states will not be
as large as last year, we should be thank
full for what we have, take more interest
in the work, as this job comes to us but

some farmers try to make it extend as
long through the year as possible.

want The stalk field for cattle, and do
not like the job of shocking corn in cold
wet and snowy weather. always try to
finish by Christmas; we do not have
much bad weather before that time. Last
year we had the worst time for gathering
corn that suppose we ever saw-nothing
but rain and mud, and in order to get the
corn out in season we were required to
wade in this mud, and a great many times
the wheels would sink to the axle. Be-
badly, and it is down some this year.
AS in all other work, there is some
danger in gathering corn if we do not
provide means to prevent it. In this part
of the country (and l suppose it is the
same in other parts) during corn gather
ing time, it is nearly every day that we
hear of some neighbor losing his best

Prevention is cheaper than taking the
chances of a cure.

the case when gathering on both sides;

of the box.
/ find that while shoveling off the load
is the best time to pick seed corn, l have
barrel handy and throw in the choice
ears, and later, when run these through
the shelter, discard the worst. This is
a double selection. We cannot select
seed corn too closely. More of this work
and better work are what the farmers Of

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
New Notions In Dress That Have Bees
Introduced in the Seasons
Costumes.

The "multicoloreds idea" extends even
to gloves this year. Kids come in all
the cloth shades, with bindings and
ststchings of the brightest colors.
Plush tops and velvet underbrims will
be frequently seen in the stylish winter
hats, says the New York Tribune.
Persian lamb trimming of lustrous
fiber is one of the important accessories
of the season. 1t comes in gallOons Of
various widths and appliques of differ

both in millinery and dress trimming,
as will also wool embroideries on chif-

colorings and cloth cut work in two
colors, outlined in black and white or
pongee colored silk cord. Garnitures
of wool embroidery in multicolors, with
fringe ornaments and bangles, are at
tractive novelties.

those specimens especially which adorn
the more dressy costumes and coats,
seem to combine the ideas and all the
different eras in the history of dress,
and are indeed glowing tributes to the
ingenuity of the sartorial artist.
There is no tendency toward strik-
ing eccentricities in fall models, says
Toilettes. They are graceful, smart and
novel, but the differences in cut are
slight and the chicness consists rather
in the shaping of adjuncts and dispo-
sition of trimming. The eye has grad
ually become accustomed to an in
creased length of shoulder and fullness
of skirt in the fashionable silhouette,
and the replacing Of the pouched blouse
by fitted fronts has been too gradual

Teaching the Child to obey.

A mother should be careful to make
only reasonable demands upon her
child's obedience, but when once made
to enforce them implicitly. A thing
once refused should never be yielded to
teasing. When it is possible the reason
for the refusal should be explained to
the child. One should be very careful
never to enter into contest over point
that cannot be enforced. A child may
be made to do certain things, but no
power on earth can force him to do 9TH
ers, or to say words that he has made
up his mind not to say. The prudent
mother will enforce her authority and
teach obedience on the ground that she
is sure of being able to hold. Points that
she knows she cannot carry she will
avoid until the habit of obedience is
formed and then there will be no discus
sion.
