A Quaint People.

The heart of Brittany never changes,
but its face is rapidly losing many Of
its prominent characteristics with the
leveling influence of the French repub-
lie. 1t is only far out of the beaten
track, now, or on special occasions like
fetes, that you see universally the cos
tunes and customs of the old Armori-
can peninsula. Only an hours journey
from Quimper, the modernized chief
town of Finistere, and you are among
the Bigoudines. a people whose dress
suggests the Eskimos and Chinese
whose faces are strongly Monaghan in
type, and who in language, customs
and beliefs seem to have no relation
with the rest of France. More and
more the picturesque problem they pre-
sent is coming to attract attention. Ar
lists, students and tourists alike are
fascinated by it-Century.

stitching Upon their gowns as they ever
did, though the fact doesn't impress it
self upon the casual observer This is
because stitching in contrast with the
goods Is not usual. The usual r--le is
for stitching in close harmony. not more
than a SHADE or two of in either way.
With adherence TO this regulation. the
stitching may be as lavish as ron like

was brown zibelline, its passementerie
and stitching little darker than the ma
terial. The pIaided goods that were so
impressive for abundance and striking
designs on the shop counters early in the
fall haven't taken very strong hold on
women's liking. Much of the shower
plaids is employed as trimming, stand
ing as means of giving dash of color
to otherwise plain dresses, but the horse
blanket patterns have been refused as
materials for entire gowns. True, the
plaids selected for this purpose are in
large squares. but the colors are not mat
ed very boldly. A sample of the plaided
gowns is sketched hee. and was in a
blue and black novelty goods. with black
banding and button trimming. Such
gowns are handsome and possess to a fine
degree that quality of individuality that
is so much sought. If liking for them
lasts long enough, the tendency will be
to adopt the more striking goods. In that
outcome the gowns of squares like those
worn few years ago in separate skirts
will be more numerous. Now they are
seen only here and there, and in goods
whose surface is of the hairiest or most
hubby weave.
Trimmed tailormades are not discard
ed by any means, but are restricted for
dressy uses. Often the tailor finish Is

mendously full about the feet. and every
attention is given to arranging fullness
about the hips.
These soft. full skirts are often trim
med very freely. but the place for trim
ming is toward the bottom. Here may
be no end of it, Horizontal bands are
NJ times distributed all along the skirt

the highest is at about the knees. though

are in sleeves All the models of
the indicated period are being modified
or adapted and at times some of them
are accurately reproduced, often with
beautifully quaint effect. This means
large sleeves, but those of extreme size
are barred by most dressmakers. Even
this rule is proven now and then by
handsome exceptions. All fullness comes
at the elbow. Its arrangement may be
according TO the wearer's taste, though
series of puffs of various forms Seem to
be the very latest wrinkle. Despite this
stylish form the standing of sleeves that
include lace or diaphanous ruffies and
sizeable cuffs is good. and they are many
on dressy gowns.
Old fashions that are making big
impression on current styles are those
of some seventy years back that bring
about tremendously full skirts and slop-
ing shoulders. Many young women just
entering society copy these old dresses
faithfully, and the quaint simplicity of
the result is well suited to the debu-
tante. For older women the dressmak-
ers modify and adapt, and once such pro-
cesses are begun the original model or
models. for often several old designs are
blended in one new gown. hardly can be
recognized in the complete costume. But
shoulder slope is attained in so many
pretty ways that is apparent in most
new dresses, and that without any sug-
gestion of uniformity. Skirts are ire

Effects of Cultivation.

At one of the experiment stations
wheat was tested in plots under va
rious modes of cultivation, and it was
found that when the seeds were care
fully selected, planted in rows and cul-
tivated with hand implements, the
yield was at the rate of sixty bushels
per acre, and case is on record where
a farmer in England planted wheat in
rows one foot apart, and the grains six
inches apart in the rows, cultivating
between the rows and hoeing in the
rows, by which method he secured over
100 bushels per acre; but such cases
are the exception. The English field
was first covered six inches with ma
nure and the manure well worked into
the soil, while the season was favor
able. What the cost of labor amount
sd to was not stated. but the fact was
demonstrated that wheat could be cul-
tivated like corn and the yield largely
increased. At the present day there
are improved hand implements-seed
drills, wheel hoes and hand cultivators
that are aids to hand work, and If
the price of wheat in the near future
warrants their use there is no doubt
that the average yield Of the future
will be much larger.

The AiI.Purpose Horse.

1t is folly to talk about one breed
of horses being suitable for all pur-
poses Consider for a moment the light
harness horse Juggling at the great
transfer wagon, or the big two-ton
farmloads on the road to market. The
all-purpose idea is still cherished by
some farmers who never raised or sold
a good draft horse. They have always
believed chat the draft horse was too
big for farm work But farmers raise
horses now to sell, and they have
learned that the big draft mares are
the most profitable farm team. They
do the farm work of blowing and haul
ing to perfection, and they raise the
highest-prlced animal on the farm,
while the all-purpose horse is the cheap
horse in competition with the Western
range horses anS little tretters don't
pay to raise.-Live Stock Journal.

WHAT HAVE YOU DonE9

You are going to do great things, you
say
But what have you done?
You are going to win in a splendid way,
AS others have won;
You have plans that when they are put
in force
Will make you sublime;
You have mapped out glorious upward
course
But why don't you climb?
You're not quite ready to start. you say
If you hope to win
The time to be starting is now-to-day-
Don't daily, begin!
No man has ever been ready as yet,
Nor ever will be;
You may fall ere you reach where your
hopes are set
But try it and see.
You are going to do great things, you say,
You have splendid plans;
Your dreams are of heights that are far
away;
They're a hopeful mans
But the world, when it judges the case
for you,
At the end, my son,
Will think not of what you were going
to DO,
Bet of what you've done.

Caring for the DAIRY Cow

y
NO one will question the statement
that any animal that is well treated
will do its best for its owner; the trou-
Die is different people have different
IDEAS OF what constitutes good treat
melt The average man feels that
plenty of good food is all an animal
Should expect, while other men en-
deavor TO make kind words and an oc-
casional pat take the place of proper
feeding. A veteran dairyman, a Ger
man, showed the writer his stables
made of rough lumber and crudely
built, but well lined inside with build
ing paper, so that they were warm.
Each stall was arranged so that the
animal had perfect freedom in the IN
closure. and yet could not turn suffi-
GENTLY to soil the bedding. Every stall
was thoroughly cleaned each morning
and night, all straw removed and
moderately strong solution of carbolic
acid sprinkled over the floor. A light
layer of straw was placed on the floor
during the day, and at night a heavy
bed was made. Every day, usually
just after milking, and while the cows
were eating, they were groomed with
brush and comb just as the horses
were cared for. In the morning each
cow was wiped off with a large cloth
to remove any dust that might be on
its coat from the straw. This was
done before milking, the udder being
also cleaned with a cloth. OF course,
these cows are well and properly fed,
ssrt our friend has figured that the
treatment referred to has considera-
bic to do with the milk result, and he is
undoubtedly right.-St. Paul Dispatch.

cooed over the rag doll. He sat in 81

The next Sunday morning, Fulton,

the housetops and spire of the village

had been gazing some time through the

Il thought l would so over and hear

Again the sun was sinking behind
the fringe of woods along the ridge
The trees made long black shadows
across the cotton patch, now white as
field of snow, with it's millions of
bursting bols
Fulton and his wife stood by the
fence viewing the promising prospect
The baby played about its mothers

ment 1t was hard to tell.
The next morning he was clearin0
away the breakfast dishes and crying
to quiet a fretful child when he
| CHANGED to glance out of the door. He
was almost startled. A dozen men were
| hoeing industriously in the cotton
! patch. He stood for some minutes re-
garding them, dazed. He was not a
hard man, and. touched by the unex-
| pected show of kindness, tear came
into his eye; rolled down his cheek,
splashed on the plate he was drying.
In moment he was ashamed of the
weakness and quickly brushed all
traces o. 1t from his eye. He hung up
the dishpan, washed the baby's face,
and entered his wife's room.
| Molly. Wen have company for din
ner,' he said, as he began to tidy the
room. 1.-THE neighbors are hoeing In
the cotton"
There was little smothered cry Of
joy.
I'm so glad for you, Zeb."
Fulton picked up his hoe and walked
| toward the men. They saw him APP
preaching. One of them stepped out to
meet hiri.
We've treated you shabby, Mr.. Full
TOM he began. 1--WE didn't know just
how you were situated till the parson
rode roun' yesterday an tole u.s.
I'm shore 1 'preciate yore kindness"
returned Fulton, as he began to chop
into the weeds industriously.
81 low you needn't work today"
continued the man.. . WED rather
you'd stay with yer wife. Wen git
over the patch gin night 'thout yore

| Fulton threw his hoe to the fence
corner and returned to the house. The
wives of the men had arrived in his
absence. When he entered the cabin
it presented the appearance Of having
undergone general renovating. There
was snowy linen on the bed. and it was
wheeled to where his wife, dressed in
clean wrapper, could look through
the sunshine across the valley. A faint
color had crept into her cheeks and
brightness into her eyes. The chill
dren, with clean dresses and faces,
looked tidier than for many a day. The
baby sat ON a quilt on the floor playing
with a new rag doll.
Some of the women were in the
kitchen getting dinner that they had
brought, and behind the shed he could
hear the sound of scrup-boards as 9th
| ers busily washed the soiled clothes
that had accumulated in the house for
/ weeks.
Fulton glanced about him obviously,
not knowing just how to adjust himself
| to the situation.
Now. jest sit down by yore wife an
rest to-day" said one OF the women.
