Sacks for Women.

New YORK Evening Post.
The latest novelty is half hose for women.
They are to be had at present in only a
few exclusive shops and they are rather
expensive, the cheapest being 81. These
stockings. which are designed for GOODNESS,
end just below the knee in a close ribbing
which keeps them in place. For greater
security. nothing being worse form than
wrinkled stocking on a woman, there is
sold a garter exactly like those worn by
men. French women have worn these
short stockings for some time, and one
New York shop imported few last year.
The proprietor tells an amusing story to
account for his first purchase. A young
woman from a fashionable private school
making her summer purchases of
hosiery added few pairs Of
boys socks which she declared
she intended to wear on hot days. She dis
played her novel purchase to her school
mates and the next day they fiocked down
to the store and bought every boys sock
in the place. The proprietor sent out and
bought more small socks, all he could
get of the required quality. and the school
took the lot.

At the Grace Pro-Cathedral last evening
Misses May Garsten, Of Michigan City,
Elsie Janet Frazier, Of Marion. and Hor-
tense Raugh, Of this city. comprising the
class of 1903 Of Knickbacker Hall. were
graduated before large audience. The
ceremonies attending the exercises were
very simple.
The church was appropriately decorated,
and the white garb of the choir boys and
girls made a most attractive picture. The
address of the evening was made by the
Right Rev. Joseph Marshall Francis. bishop
of the diocese of Indianapolis. His theme
was Love-" and he devoted most of his
remarks to the good which the young wom-
en- just starting out in life can do. Bishop
Francis spoke of the great power the MEM
bers of the class might bring into their
lives for the betterment and upbuilding OF
the world.
At the close of the address the young
women to receive diplomas, attired in pure
white, with long wells. went forward and
were presented with their certificates. The
bishop then made brief prayer The ex-
ercises came to q close with the singing Of
Savior, My Savior" by the vested choir.

thou hast touched his heart. Last night
l heard him say thou vast the first un-
complaining, noble white man he had
ever seen full Of pain and sorrow. love
thee, too. and can always love thee and
be true"
White Hand started across the prison,
and his head was bowed in deep thought.
At length he stopped and took Coqualla
by the hand and led her to where the
ground rolled up into a little knoll, and
here he sat down and drew the princess
to his side.
"Coqualla,' he whispered, "speak to
me truly, now, and let not a thought OF
me retain your words. or mold them to
smoothness of utterance. You would
marry me- Is it for love of me. or only
to save my life?'
Both" answered the fair girl. But
were thy life all thine own, and thought
that the asking would bring thee to me
forever, I'd ask thee on my knees"
A little while the youth held the hand
of the princess, and gazed into her large.
dark eyes, and then he spoke. His words
were low and earnest, and Coqualla hist
ened in silence. He went on, and spoke
more freely, but still in a whisper, and
when he had done, the princess placed
her arms about his neck and wept. He,
too, wound his arms about the 1.-the form
of his companion and pressed her to his
bosom; and from that moment their loves
were reciprocal.
Coqualla hurried away from the prison,
and when she returned, she brought with
her the dress of a Little Sun of the
Natchez, and an earthen bottle. White
Hand was soon arrayed in the Indian
garb, and then the princess proceeded to
bathe his face. arms and feet with a
fluid that was contained in the bottle.
It was preparation of the outer cover
ing of the hickory nut, and some pecu-
liar root, which gave the color of the
red mans skin.
Thus arrayed and metamorphosed, Co
qualla took her lover by the hand and led
him forth. Not far from the temple was
the house of Stung Serpent. 1t was, like
all the other dwellings, of an oblong form,
the walls built of rough timber, made
tight by a cement formed of clay and
Spanish moss, with roof of reeds and
vines very skillfully interviewer upon a
frame, and made tight by the same kind
of cement that formed the walls. To this
house White Hand was led. and when
he entered he found that not only were
all of Stung Serpent's family present,
but also the Great Sun and his wives.

Alone the prisoner remained until noon

to kill thee. and in one way alone can

The dusky princess trembled as she
spoke, and heR head was bowed. But
White Hand understood her. He gazed
a few moments upon her downcast face,
and he wondered at her extreme beauty.
She was dark, but the youth had seen
faces in his own land much darker, but
never had seen a smoother, fairer skin,
nor features more faultlessly regular and
beautiful. He started at her words, but
it was with a strange, thrilling start, and
a troubled, perplexed look worked upon
his face.
"Coqualla,' he said, ''thou art the only
daughter of thy father?"
''Thou speakest TRUTH" was her reply.
'And will thy father give me 10 thee

HE will.'

The Seed Supply.


No scotsman can guarantee an even

some, unfayorable growing seasons oc-
cur; IN others insects and fungus dis
eases assail the crops; In fact, there is
not often season when all seed crops
are both large and of prime quality.

growing will be surprised at the high
price they will have to pay for cucum-
Der seed this year; In Nebraska last
season, where immense crops Of su-
perior seed are now annually raised.
the crop was an entire failure and the
crops elsewhere were variable. OF late
years Michigan has become one of the
largest producers of seed peas, but the
crop there last season was very short,
SO that the cost Of seed will be greater.
If anything, than in 1902. Some beans.
too, are scarce, the wax varieties par
ticularly. There was only a moderate
crop Of reliable seed of some sorts Of
squash, that Of the Hubbard being less
than moderate. The price of onion
seed will be about the same, and cab
bage seed will be lower. No grower
should plant corn this year, at least
without first carefully testing it. In
many of the seed growing sections the
crop had not time to mature promptly.
and there will probably be consider
able unfit corn for sale.-Country Cen

Cruelty to Cows


Men may regard cattle as mere ma
chimes, but the fact remains that they
are of a sensitive organization, capa-
BILE of suffering and enjoyment, and
that to degree too often lost sight
of. The idea that 1t is just as well
for a cow, either in point of comfort
or health, to be tied up six months
with no exercise, is contrary to all
physiological teaching; and that nutri-
tious food, light and exercise are nee
essary to the maintenance of health
and a full development. Give cows
chance to go out in the sunlight Of the
warm days in the winter and see how
quickly they go and see the real en-
joyment depicted on their expressive
faces. Even though the milk flow may
be somewhat lessened, will not what
is lost in quantity be made up in quail
ity? At any rate, I am sure would
much rather eat dairy products of
strong, healthy cows than that of
those weakened and enervated by
close confinement and unnatural food,
such as would be an exclusive diet of
corn meal. It is not necessary, In or
der to give them little exercise and
sunlight to range over an extensive
area. Let them out In an ordinary
sized yard and they will not do. trav-
cling sufficient to waste any great

Value of Ground Grain..

In feeding grain to stock of any kind
there is no doubt but what the best re-
suits will come from feeding whole
grain part of the time and ground grain
on alternate days. 1t is known that
feeders in some sections object to the
feeding Of ground products, but usual
ly because of the supposed expense of
grinding. True, this is considerable IL
one has to pay for grinding, but in a
neighborhood where considerable stock
is kept 1t will pay farmers to own a
machine in common, buying one with
a belt attachment so that an engine
may be used. Usually any man owning
an engine will do the work for twenty
five cents an hour, and a hundred BUSH
els may be ground at small expense. In
the feeding of this ground product, one
must be guided by experience, but mix

Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk, the butter
will come slowly.
A little too much churning Injuries
the butter by destroying the grain.
Any impurities in the drinking water
are readily absorbed by the milk.
In profitable buttermaking it is all
important to suit your customers.
A little feed will often save a good
deal Of time in milking a restless cow.
The growth Of the heifer is so much
deducted from what should go to milk
production.
A great point Of value in dairy COW
is to have the milking habit firmly es-
tablished.
Dairy farming. IL rightly managed,
may be the means of greatly improv-
ing the land.
It is useless to expect a great flow of
milk from cow that has only enough
feed to live upon.
The fact that cow gives a large
mess of milk need not interfere with
her bringing good calf.
The colder butter can be churned
the better, and the better it will stand
after it has been churned.
A good dairy cow should always
have her good qualities perpetuated by
raising her heifer calves.
A stunted heifer will never make a
breeder of thrifty. quick-ma turing
stock and will prove failure.
The churn should never be filed
more than half full, and then If the
temperature is right the butter will
come.
Stone or cement troughs are better
than wooden ones for setting the milk
cans in because they are easily kept
clean.
Churning at too high temperature
or churning too long will produce
greasy butter in which the grain is in
jured.
When cows have been long in milk,
churning Is difficult, because the milk
has become glutinous and the fat glob-
ules win not adhere

Study the pedigrees and breed into
popular lines as your experience in
breeding and management improves,
and a demand Is developed for your
stock by judicious advertising. Some
men pay big prices for breeding stock
and never advertise, says the Holstein
Friesfan Register. They sacrifice their
stock rather than pay out money for
advertising, while others with palmer
bred stock and liberal advertising will
get far better prices and greater de-
mands.
