CARE OF CHILDRENs TEETH.

The mistaken idea that q chllds first

tails no end of misery on the child and
inspires n feeling of repulsion in all
sensitive bcholders. ScrupuloGs care
of the teeth should be begun from the
day of their development in full. and
the child taught as early as possible to
care for them itself under the super
vision of nurse or mother. Get n small
and not too stiff brush, use a good pre-
pared chalk or myrth and camphor and
b have the teeth brushed morning and
night. A spool of silk dental floss IS
also essential and should be cut in six
inch lengths as most convenient to use,
this should be drawn between the teeth
to remove any articles which the brush
cannot dislodge; then rinse the mouth
thoroughly with tepid water in which
a pinch of bicardonate of soda has been
dissolved. Have all cavities filed as

STOCKS OF LACE INSERTIONS.

j
There is n pretty stock which is
youthful and always becoming. 1t is
made of insertion, through which rib
bons are run. The band is just wide
enough and just long enough for the
neck. and the ribbons are run through
1t and tied at the back. Three or four
narrow ribbons are very neat if
-snotted in little bows at the back of the
neck, just under the low colffure. This
sort of stock can be worn with any
dress.
, And there is another stock that is
quite as easy to make, and 1t Is one
that has been worn great deal this
summer. 1t is made by taking a strip
of lace insertion eighteen inches long
and finishing it with little hooks and
eyes for the back of the neck. At the
front there are fastened two tabs, side
by side. The tabs are made by sewing
laee medallions together. Take three
medalliOns and attach them in such a
way as to make two tags. Sew them
to the neck, so that they hang neatly
over the bust. This gives something of

THE EARLY OHIO.
The Early Ohio Potato as a Per-

Day County Farmers.

Dear Mr.. Editor.
| would like space in your valu-
able paper to write to u Day
county farmers as to the advantage
of raising a good qualityof potatoes.
1t is a we'll known fact that potato
buyers pass up our town, because
the stock brought in here is SO badly
mixed they are not good enough for
seed stock and those are the pota-
toes that command the highest price
in the markets that we ean ship.
Buyers were paying ten to twenty
cents more at points, as near by as
| Groton and James this fall than
here, because they raise straight
Ohio's. Now we can raise as good
potatoes as any point along the
Hastings and Dakota if we plant the
right kind of seed, what we want to
do is to raise the quality of our
potatoes sort them well and get the
! the reputation of growing the best,
then we will be able to attract the.
attention of outside buyers, and they
want early Ohios,
| have a sample of seed stock now
on exhibition in my store and wili
be pleased to take orders for any
farmers who would like to get some.
The price will be low as possible for
potatoes shipped in. But there are
any number of farmers who will
plant potatoes in the spring who
have neighbors that have good clear
Ohio's and now these winter days
is a good time to look around and
get your seed engaged from them
and 90 into the business In the
spring right. Fifteen years ago

FUR PROSPECTS.
Large Pale Mink skins In Dcmnnd
MusLrat For Making "JetesLta.

hof
A recent canvass of some Of the lar
ger retail stores in New York indicates
that furs of all kinds will continue
fashionable and be worn much through
out the winter, both here and in Eu-
rope. says American Agriculturist. Gil
matte conditions will exert a great in
iuence upon the sale of furs. Many
large buyers Of furs state that bear
skins are unsatisfactory TO handle u
thai the outlook is not promising, as
there is little demand in England,
where heretofore bear has been in pop
ular favor. On the other hand. otter
will undoubtedly bring good prices
The general trend OF fashion has, on
the whole, been unfavorable to beaver,
and as this animal is gradually becom-
ing scarcer any measures which might
be taken by various states TO protect
1t more effectually will undoubtedly
meet with the approval of fur collect
ors.
The large pale mink skins of the CEN
trail west will again be in demand. The
only grades which hung back last year
were the medium colored skins of the
northern and central sections. 1t is
considered by dealers in general that
our mink is superior to any of the for
eign im~portations.
During the past season there has
been a great demand for musbrJt, II
success being due largely 10 the keen
call for moleskins, of which the musk
rat makes a good imitation when pluck
cd and properly dyed. The demand
for mole garments is more or less Of a
fad and is apt to be short lived. Many
dealers think it reasonable to assume
that although there will be IL probable
lessening in the sale OF muskrat for
this purpose the demand for ii for
manufacturing gloves, lining, etc. will
satisfactory level. but not as high as
last season.
Skunk is considered one OF Il most
staple and serviceable native furs and,
as Il rule, is popular with the public.
The outlook for raccoon is favorable.
Many dealers concede that stocks are
smaller than usual at this time OF the
year, and they look for a demand at
good prices this season. Opossum is
considered rather uncertain. while red
fox, it is thought, will remain steady
at satisfactory prices. The outlook is
not promising for the gray fox. Stocks
are said to be plentiful and prospects
not encouraging for lynx. Indications
point to another successful seaso with
wolf, while coyotes from the south
west are expected to lag.
