That's one way to get It.

Altnu2g they won't admit it many

headaches for twenty-five years and

A Flower Instead of a Monogram.

A fad with many smart girls just
now is to mark their underwear and
many of their dainty dress accessories
with a little embroidered flower in
place of their monogram or initials.
The young woman, for instance, who
is partial to baby-blue will take a
spray of forget-me-nots for her en-
blem, and embroider it upon her hand
kerchiefs, her underwear, the tops Of
her stockings and her wells. She may
carry the idea bit further, if she
wishes, and use artificial forget-me-
nots as a corsage decoration, colt
fure ornament and to trim her hats.
In place Of the spray Of forget-me-
nots, a violet, pansy, pink, rosebud,
buttercup, daisy or bluebell may be
used as a substitute for the more con-
ventional monographs e p t m b e r
Woman's Home Companion.

FEEDING REGULARLY.

When animals are fed in the barn,
regularity of feeding is requisite.
Especially Is this so in the winter
time when the stock are not getting
any of their feed from the pasture.
The animal stomach as well as the
human stomach quickly rebels II 1t be
not treated in a perfectly regular
manner. T.. B. Terry, in a work on
the care Of horses and cattle, says:
-Four years ago bought fine team
OF workhorses. They were six years
old, and in extra good condition-got
up to sell, the neighbors said They
had been used to grain three times a
day; but as l do not feed work
horses much If any grain, but rather
keep them on early-cut clover and
timothy hay-dried grass-I began,
after little, feeding them on hay
alone. OF course, l made the change
gradually. Every few weeks |
drove them to the scales and had
them weighed, and they gained stead
lily all winter. Their total gain in
weight was 800 lbs, although in prime
order to start with. They were alto
gether too fat; but l enjoyed the ex-
pertinent. My best friends could hard
ly believe that the horses got no
grain-that such flesh and life cit was
business to handle them) came from
dried grass alone. They did not do
much If any hard work during the
winter, but were always used enough
for exercise. Now, how were they
fed, for dried grass alone did not do
the business? Regularly, three times
day, what they would eat up clean
in from sixty to ninety minutes, and
then watered as regularly and as
many times. Then they were regu
larry and thoroughly curried, and, OF
course, kept in warm stable. AT
their best weight they weighed about
l,4OO lbs. each, and ate, on an aver
age, about 30 lbs. of hay apiece each
day. 1t was wonderfully choice hay
however, and they were good horses
but it was only by the most careful
attention in feeding that they could
have been made to show any such
gain. 1t would have been an easy
matter to feed them more, and have
them lose flesh; so under some cir
cumstances it takes less feed to fat
ten an animal than to run him down
which goes to show that feeding is an
important matter.

New Tea Table Covers.

Tea table covers grow more and
more ingenious, and are often mar
vels of beauty. One of the latest is
found and made of heavy linen, with
an exceedingly deep border Of Rus
sian lace, combined with Cluny, in
a most novel and fascinating manner.
The deep ecru of the Russian braid
with the white of the Cluny makes
a fine and snowy contrast, and the
two are combined so perfectly as to
make one harmonious whole.

Bangle as a PIedqe.

A new idea is to substitute an en-
gagement bangle for the conventional
ring. These bangles, which some
times slight circlets, and sometimes
broad gold bands, give the lover the
satisfaction Of feeling that he has in
deed safely fettered his fair fiancee,
for, once fastened, the clasp can only
be opened by being forced apart with
a chisel. On the continent, where it
is customary for lovers to exchange
rings, engagement bangles are some
times worn by men, but they are rare
ly seen on men of English-speaking
races.

How DoyIies ORIGINATED.

How many women who use doylies
know the origin of their name? They
are called after Col. D'Oyley, the first
English governor of Jamaica in the
time of Cromwell. The first doylies
were made in Jamaica from lace-bark
by the natives, and sold to the early
English settlers. Thence they found
they way to England and the Ameri-
can colonies, carrying their name
with them.

according to the governments survey,
one plush raspberry cow, aged 8

home with a stay chain, but she will
be sold to any one who will agree to

Selling Cattle at the Stockyards.


The stock is driven from the car
onto the receiving platform, and from
this 1t is driven by chutes to the pens
In various parts of the yards. One
may unload a carload of stock, drive
it into an alley adjoining the platform,
and thence to any part of the yard de-
sired. Cross gates are at frequent in
tervals, which will permit one to d.
rect his stock at his pleasure with
but little trouble. After the stock is
placed in pens it Is available for SALE
The shipper usually turns it over to a
commission firm to sell, although this
is not a necessity. Yet one not reg
ularly on the market cannot sell to as
good advantage as can the regular
dealers. This is because irregular
sellers are not in touch with the buy
ers, so as to secure a wide range of
custom. The animals received in
stock yards usually reach the market
very early in the morning, and by
noon the active business of the day
is about completed. There are two
classes of men in the yards about the
pens, the commission men selling and
the buyers. The first thing each morn
ing these men inform themselves re-
garding the quotations on the various
classes and grades of stock and the
visible supply. If the supply is short
and the demand for certain grades is
active, then the buyers seek the
statesmen. hut if the market 10 du1l
and Indifferent, then the sellers seek
the buyers. Where men buy for the
packing houses, they receive a daily
statement of the slaughter record of
the animals purchased by them the
day previous.-Prof. Chas. S. Plumb.

Records of Farm Drains.

Another feature of engineering
work for farm drainage in which there
should be great improvement is that
of maps and records. At Ames, on
the college farm, the present author
tues have had predecessors who put
in quite extensive amounts of tile
drains without leaving accurate plats,
so that in many places we cannot now
find even where the drains were
built, to say nothing of their sizes.
grades and depths. In making exca-
vations old lines of tile whose very
existence was not suspected are not
infrequently encountered, and the
writer knows of places where at least
two systems of tiles in the same To-
cality have been put in by successive
generations of authorities. The same
or a worse state of affairs must result
on individual farms throughout the
state, as time goes by and the farms
change owners, unless the present al
most total neglect of keeping COM
plete records of all tile drains built
is remedied. Even if the land does

that even after a very few years men

Effect of Sea Voyage on Cheese.

GHcSt ot Scd voyage OF SHeese'
Liverpool, Eng, July 29.-Some
time ago a well-known firm in Bow
den sent a Cheshire cheese to a
friend in Perth, Western Australia.
The reply is worth reading: 1T ar.
rived in a most aristocratic condi-
tion," says the recipient. 1T was so
high that when we took the lid off
the box we were nearly spiflicated.
The cat took refuge in a tree, the
collie dog barked at 1t for halI an
hour by the clock. When we recov-
cred a little and were calm enough
to take observation, we found there
was not fly left in the house. The
clock had stopped and the smell had
put the fire out. This all goes to
prove what a splendid cheese it is.
They have got it all round Perth that
Faulkner's have got a real Cheshire
cheese, and about a thousand people
have walked past our store in the
hope of getting a sniff of it. So far
the grocers talk of having it cremated,
because they say that now the Perth
public have been let into the secret OF
what cheese is really made of they
will never be satisfied with the stuff
they get here and call it cheese.
When it landed here it was a bit
high. l expect the heat of the tropics
set it ripening. After being exposed
to the cold for day or two it is all
right. We have treated many of our
friends to a taste, and they are all
pleased with it; so are we."-Amer-

Streamers Of Tulle.


While it Is hard to believe that the
popular draped veil will ever be held
entirely in disfavor by the woman
who well knows it's acknowledged
charm, Paris fashion authorities now
assert that there the draped veil is
superseded by streamers of tulle or
ribbon velvet tackled beneath the
brim Of the high-crowned picture hat
and tied in a large bow under the
chin, says the Kansas City Journal.
Such strings undoubtedly have their
good points, and are distinctly becOm-
ing to long and thin faces. They have
a tendency to soften the contour and
make almost any face look younger
On some few hats handsome lace
scarfs are also taking the place of
the veil. These are not so wide, and
are tied around the hat and hang down
the back in streamers.
