Told in Her
OUdOiT

Fancy stocks are much simpler
than last year.
Turnovers of finest linen are de-
cidedly dainty.
Boas of any sort are not very much
in evidence.
A new heavy pongee has an almost
shaggy surface.
A favorite braid for voile gowns is
the bright-surfaced hercules.
Wreaths of daintiest small flowers
done in velvet, especially delicately
pale blue forget-me-nots, trim hats
The latest development of the
sleeve frill is the employment of fine
lace dyed to match the shade of the
gown. Chiffon is also largely used
for sleeve frills.
The fashionable decol1etage line Is
somewhat higher this season, for. al
though the corsage is cut lower, it is
finished with a dainty tucker of NOUS
seline de sole. chiffon or net.
Pelerine collars slightly draped in
front and finishing to a point, leav-
ing the throat free, will be much
worn this summer. Another effective
collar yoke is a yoke and bertha in
one, fitting closely on the shoulders
ard then falling with full flare.

Iinoerie Hats.

The lingerie hats of exquisite ba-
tiste or null or fine Swiss embroider-
les and Valenciennes lace are 1ovelier
than ever this season, and innumer-
able changes are rung upon combina-
tions of lace and flowers Nets plain
or dotted with large chenille waters
are shirred and plated into airy,
broadrimmed shapes and trimmed
with flowers and soft silk scarfs.
Shaded straws and straws of count
less new weaves are shown. Linel
hats inset with lace and picturesque
in shape are among the new offerings
as well as more severe linen models
for outing and mourning wear.
Garden punches and flower wreaths
divide the honors and there are many
flowers and bud fringes which are
used profusely. Cockades, choux, ro-
settes, mercury wings, cupid wings
and quills are called into service for
the sailor hats

dressmaker's hand work. The deli
cate tints of linen now in the market
furnish an ideal foundation for the
lovely assortment of trimmings and
the varied methods of construction.
Quaint little boleros are the choice
of the youthful set, and charming in
deed are the many oddities arising
from this style. Rarely have these
boleros come in for so great a share
or popularity, and each individual
seems to have originated her own
idea for her jacket, hence the count
less assortment. Some are fitted to
the waist line; others fall loosely in
side or box plaits, showing the belt
beneath, while a great many hang in
a sort of kimona fashion, showing a
large front blouse beneath, and the
sleeve reaches to the elbow only, al
lowing the white puff of the under
sleeve to figure prominently.

The Millinery Of summer.

The large and the small hat are in
equal favor this season. For semi
dress occasions the small or medium
sized turban or sailor is perhaps in
better taste, but the vogue of the
wide dropping shoulders in costumes
and wraps will undoubtedly make the
picture hat more popular than ever.
The blending of delicate pink and
blue is a feature of many hats, and in
the association not only of small
flowers but of ribbons as well is this
dlscernible. Green also is a favored
color, and for the hat to complete a
green toilette or to be worn with a
black or dark blue or a natural-col-
ored pongee or Shantung gown, it is
a most attractive shade. Green trim
mings-plumes, aigrettes, breasts and
ribbon velvet-provide. this smart
touch when the hat is black, blue,
ecru or white Brown and green is
another popular combination.
No form of headgear is more charm
ing than the dainty lingerie hat made
in simple baby" shape out of the
finest lace or embroidery, with a
large bow of ribbon as its only trim
ming. These hats have a girlish eff
feet, and to be successful they should
be worn only by the youthful and
with dainty frocks.-From The De
lineator for July.

Separate Yoke and Collar

The new plan of the yoke and col
lar being separate from the rest of
the gown is an excellent one, as it
permits of their being easily laun-
dered without the entire waist hav-
ing to be ripped apart, as is generally
the case. In the simpler styles of
gown this is most desirable, but it
is also carried out in the more elab-
crate ones, and for the same reason
that the laundering of any lace or
embroidery is a difficult task unless
the entire waist is cleaned at the
same time. In many such respects
fashion becomes more and more
practical as time goes on; one rea-
son, however, being that absolute
cleanliness and perfection of detail
are required in any garment that is
to be considered at all smart.

inches deep. Between each two lay
ers of eggs is q substantial layer of
straight, clean rye straw; on the top
layer of eggs another layer of straw.
The thin boards are securely nailed
on, the boxes are properly marked
with the company's trademark, the
number of eggs and the grade indi-
Gated. and they are sent to the ship.
All eggs are sold by the pound. The
cooperative company pays all ex-
penses from the time the eggs leave
the circles until they are placed on
board ship. The average expense Is
about one cent per dozen. The cost
of collecting the eggs from the farm
ers and bringing them to the circle
centers is borne by the circles them
selves. This work is done by a col
lector selected by the circle board.
The collector is usually paid so much
per pound of eggs collected. The ex-
pense of this collection is very low,
perhaps on an average not more than
one-half cent per Dozen The total
cost to the farmer from the time the
eggs leave the nests until they are on
board steamer is therefore one and
one-half cent per dozen.-United

Care in Dressing Animals.

In the dressing of any animal it is
always well to consider that possibly
it may be affected with tuberculosis
or some other contagious disease.
There is little danger of infection If
there is no wound on the hands that
can come into contact with the meat.
A good many cases are on record
where men have lost their lives by
carelessness in this regard. Butchers
are perhaps oftener the subject Of
such accidents than any others; and
the amateur butcher is as certainly
in danger as the professional. A Chi
cago man reports as follows to the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry:
G. E. W., Pole; age, "a; weight, 40
pounds; healthy looking man; butcher
by occupation. Family history mega
tive. Father of three healthy chill
dren. Has no recollection of having
been previously sick. On May 8, 1899.
while cleaning cattle viscera, he fell
and stationary meat hook upon
which the hearts and lungs are hung
penetrated through the right hand be-
tween the second and third metacarpa1
bones. A tendo vaginitis resulted,
with some lymphangitis of the arm.
He received the usual treatment for
an infected wound and apparently
made good recovery, with, however,
some limited motion of the fingers
and sensitive scar at the site OF
puncture. Four months afterwards an
abscess formed in the axilla, which
was cleaned out and tubercle bacilli
were demonstrated in the broken
down gland tissue. At this time
there was no soreness in the arm
1ymphstics or elbow gland, but he
complained that there had been. In
three months afterwards. or seven
months from the original accident, he
died from pulmonary tuberculosis.

To Get Winter Zoos.

have been in the poultry business
for long time, and my experience
has convinced me that the first thing
to do to secure winter eggs is to have
a warm place for the hens. The tenn
perature should not be lower than
about 40 degrees above zero. I feed
all kinds of grain 1 can get, but not
too much corn, as in that case the
birds will get too fat. The houses and
yards should be kept very clean, and
the fowls should not be allowed to
eat foul stuff. They should have a
good deal of exercise, and this may be
induced by throwing grain into litter.
The nests should be kept clean and
the nest litter changed quite often.
Green cut bone is the best thing to
stimulate egg production that 1 have
ever used.

The Exact Food Required.

It has been well demonstrated with
in the last few years that many of
our animals receive far more food
than they require or than they can
use to advantage. AS a result some
of our skillful feeders have cut down
the grain they were feeding to steers
five pounds and found they got as good
results. We have taken it for granted
that the more feed the animals ate
the better it was for them, and the
more force they were developing for
their various needs. As well assert
that it makes no difference how much
fuel we use to do a certain amount Of
cooking. We know that in that case a
vast amount of fuel can be absolutely
wasted. One man that had a large
number of stock to feed figured out
the saving to himself in the feeding of
oats. He made his figures on a hun
dred head of animals and with oats
at 40 cents per bushel. By feeding
just the amount of. oats required he
saved one pound per head per day
over what he had been accustomed to
feed This meant 100 pounds per day
for all the animals, 365 pounds a
year per animal and SO, 500 pounds of
oats during the year. This weight OF
oats, at 80 pounds to the bushel, was
worth $456. That was pretty good pay
for a little expenditure of thought. A
little figuring and observation did the
work.

Tucked Sailor Blouse.

The sailor blouse is ever in demand.
1t may vary in detail, but essentially
is always the comfortable favorite
that is so indispensable. This one is
novel, inasmuch as it includes fronts
box plated and tucked for their entire
length and sleeves that are tucked
above the elbows while they form full
puffs below, and is made of pale
blue linen with collar of white and
shield and trimming of embroidery,
but is quite as well suited to a long
list of fabrics. For yachting and simi-
lar sports it is admirable made of light
weight serge or mohair while all the
many linen and cotton fabrics are
much to be desired for the cotton
gowns.
The waist is made with fronts and
back and is finished al the neck with
a big sailor collar. The back is plain,
but the fronts are laid in a box plait
at each edge with three tucks at
each side and beneath the box plaits
the closing is made. The sleeves are
in one piece each, tucked at their up
per portions and gathered into
straight cuffs. The shield and stock
collar are separate and arranged un-

Live Stock Industry Working South

Live Stock Industry Working South.
Gradually our live stock interests
are working southwark though they
nave not as yet reached in a very con-
siderable degree even the more south
eriy limits of what we are pleased to
call the Northern States. We have
noticed this gradual movement in Illi-
no1s during the last ten years. At
the present time a traveller in South
ern Illinois is struck by the .compara-
lively few cattle to be met with there,
yet he will also notice that the num-
Der is much larger than it was a few
years ago. Here and there stock
farms have been established that are
being looked up to by the farmers of
the vicinity, most of whom have no
stock to speak of. In the very south
ern part of the state the writer passed
one farm on which was a fine herd
OF Herefords. A man of the neigh
borhood said: Eyes, Judge is
beginning to get something from his
stock farm now, though for some
years he put two dollars into it for
every one he took out. But he was
all the time bringing up his land. Now
it is in fine condition. But then he
was Judge and his salary helped run
the farm"
This points double lesson. First,
that the belief must be inculcated into
the farmers of those sections that live
stock is good thing, and, second,
that it takes capital to tide over the
time when the live stock farm is be-
ing established, if all things are to
be done at once and on a large scale.
The southern parts of Illinois and In
diana have a climate and soil well
adapted to the growing of live stock.
The location is not far enough south
to endanger the animals from Texas
fever and is not so far north that
beef cattle need much protection in
winter. The growing or not growing
of live stock is the difference between
constructive and destructive farming.
The presence of live stock helps to
build up the land. Its absence fire.
quently results in depreciating it,
though this is not absolutely neces-
sary. It is. however. the usual result
and is likely to be for some genera
tions to come.

A Few Sheep.

In looking over some reports of
sheep on farms we are struck with
the fact that in some of our states
not one half of the good-sized farms
carry any sheep. In the old days it
was assumed that every farmer had
at least a few sheep. We believe that
to-day it would be better for the
farms and better for the whole popu-
lation of the country if every farm
had small flock of sheep. It ap-
pears to us that a small flock of sheep
could be kept in the summer time
at least at almost no cost and with
great benefit to the arabic portions
OF the farms. The ,husbandman works
to get the weeds out of lis IAlaoIe
fields, but the whole length of the
pasture fence is a mass of weeds on
the side of the pasture and from their
tops blow millions of weed seeds
every year. The sheep would keep
most Of these weeds down and thus
destroy the source from which the
fields get their annual supply of weed
seeds. One reason why farmers do
not keep more sheep is that dogs are
destructive to the f1ocks; but as these
ravages occur generally in the night
the trouble IS obviated by penning the
sheep at night. The matter of fences
is another cause that deters some,
but fence that is hog proof and
horse. proof is generally sheep proof
During the last few years there has
been steady decline in the sheep
growing industry in every state ex-
cept one east of the Mississippi. This
condition Of affairs is profitable neith-
er to the nation nor the farmer.

is sign of the shoe wearing. Take
piece of paper and pin it on the
front of the shoe, and then cut the pat

to stitch it neatly on the front of the

Packing and Shipping Eggs in Den.
mark

The work of grading and testing Is
done mostly by women, who become
very expert The eggs are graded ac-
cording to weight There are six rec
ognized classes, ranging from 61k to
9 Kilograms per 120 eggs Q.43 to 2
pounds per dozen eggs). The expert
graders work behind a long table,
upon which they have six wooden egg
racks, or frames, each frame with ten
dozen holes in which the eggs are
placed. The graders can tell at q
glance to which grade an egg belongs,
and they distribute them very deftly.
When a frame is filled with ten dozen
eggs (Which are taken directly from
the boxes received from the circles).
the frames are taken by a man and
weighed. If the 120 eggs weigh too
much or too little for the grade for
which they are intended, eggs are
taken out and substituted with larger
or smaller ones, as the case may be.
The frame of 120 eggs is taken into a
small, tightly closed room and set on
top Of hopper-shaped box, which is
about two feet deep, the sides of
which are lined with looking-glass.
The bottom of this hopper-shaped box
is about eight by thirty inches Four
sfxteen-candlepower electric lights
stand up from the bottom, equal dis
tances apart The eggs, as above in
dicated, are placed over these lights
and looking glasses, thick ends up.
The tester looks carefully at and
through each egg, and If any be un-
sound they are rejected.
The eggs are then carefully and
snugly packed, side by side, with
nothing between them, in four layers.

POULTRY
The Incubator on the Farm.

me incubator and brOoder are the
modern allies of the poultry raiser.
originally the fowl laid but few more
eggs than she could hatch. 1t is diff
Ierent now. We have developed our
men to lay $50 eggs a year, and she
can at most hatch not more than
thirty of them. To keep the Matching
ABILITY up to the laying ability we
have had to invent the incubator and
brooder. These machines are espe-
clally adapted to the use of people
tnat are making business of poultry
raising, but they are also adapted in a
lesser degree to the use of our farm
ers that keep focks of a hundred or
more fowls. On some of our large
farms from 200 to 500 fowls are raised
annually. Yet in a good many in
stances the only means of Matching is
from hens. The operation drags along
through the summer, with the result
that in the fall the farmer has a good
many kinds and sizes of fowls for
sale. some Of them marketable and
some not. On a farm such as we have
mentioned it will certainly pay to buy
and use an incubator and brooder or
brooders.
In the first place there is uniformity
II the flock, both as to age and size.
The birds can be raised by the hun
oreds In March and April, at which
time eggs are readily obtainable, and
when fall comes the birds that are to
be disposed of will be all of size
and well grown. They will then bring
better price than otherwise, if the
seller knows his business. This will
be true whether the birds are sent to
some commission house or are dis
posed of to the private trade.
Another advantage in using an in
cubatOr is the increased certainty of
having chicks at all. There are some
years, as all Of our poultry raisers
know, when the hens show little in
clination to be broody and more than
once the poultry raiser has found him.

only half the number of chicks he ex-
Pecred to have. The number to be
Matched is controllabIe by the ma
chimes, but not otherwise. A man can
start the machines in February or
March and hatch till he has secured
the number he wants for raising
Then he can stop. If the first matches
prove a disappointment he can con-
tlnue to use his machine a little long
er. Not SO the hen. She will often
sec.
ond attempt to make good her prom
1ses to bring forth a brood
Then, too, the brooder removes the
necessity OF making nests for the sit
ting hens. This is large task where
hundreds of birds are to be raised.
frequently the nests of the sitters in
terfere with the placing of nests for
laying purposes. The care of the hens
is certainly as great as is the care of
the incubator, and after one becomes
expert with the incubator the care
is less. The care of an incubator
lessons in proportion as we get ac-
quainted with it, which can scarcely
be said of the hen. We have referred
only to the use of the incubator in the
spring, as the fall use relates to the
production of broilers, which is
business almost of itself The fncu-
bator also makes it possible to get
the birds out of the shell in time to
develop into winter layers before the
snow flies.
