Light colors for Summer Shoes.

Pongee colored kid is making a
strong bid for a favorite leather this
season, and in some cities it will take
It's place with the russets, browns and

White shoes are going to havs a
good sale with fabric shoes, while
buckskin oxfords, red, gray and even
blue slippers are included in the smart
class.
The rule of the woman who knows
this summer is to match the shoe and
stocking irrespective of whatever the
color OF the dress may be.
Many of the shoes are showing full
lines OF champagne and pongee color,
also some nut brown kid oxfords.
The girls with small feet are taking
to the light colors-no matter how
brisht-while the others are rushing
for the darker shades.
Some tan shoes with French heels
are for sale, but it does not appear as

POULTRY
White cuineas and Their Care.

Guineas on the farm are a very
profitable fowl as they have to be fed
only when the ground is covered with
snow. They save many chickens dur
Ing summer and fall when chickens
go to fields for bugs, worms and
grasshoppers, as they always are first
to see a hawk IL one is in sight, and
they will set up terrible yell. The
chickens soon learn what Is up and
will come flying to the barn for safe
ty. | never knew Of a hawk killing
a guinea or their young. In the cold
est weather they roost with the hens
but in mild weather they prefer the
trees. They have a way of telling
when cold wave is coming, as they
will so for the hen house for lodg-
ing. IL there is any strange animal
prowling around in the night they
make a great fuss. AS chickens are
leaving the trees and coops in sum-
mer and fall at daylight hawks put
in their appearance for their break
fast and have shot many from the
guineas warning me. They do not
haYe to be kept separate from the
fowls nor do they bother the hens as
do the pearl guineas (colored). They
are excellent for the table as their
meat Is gamey but not dark. They
lay from May till September. Their
eggs are smaller than hen eggs, but
bring the same in market. Guinea
eggs should be Matched under hens
as guineas are little to fast for the
little ones to keep up with. When
Matched with hens coop the hen for a
few days and make crate so they
can't wander away, as they will II
not so fixed; but in few days the
hen can be let out and will raise them
providing they are not killed by
rats or other animals. Feed them
just the same as chickens. A good
sized hen will cover about 20 eggs
and % days is the time for incuba-
ton. They do not like to have their
eggs taken from the nest but should
be seen to every day and when they
commence to sit should be broken up.
In few days they will go at it again,
and will lay about 80 eggs each during
the summer. c. A. knight.

Smart and Useful Gown.

In every girls wardrobe there is
secession for a smart gown which can
be relied upon to fill many functions;
and for this model, in which real
laces play prominent part, is one
that lends itself well to reproduction
in less expensive materials. The ex-
ceedingiy simple lines Of the corsage,
which incidentally is mounted upon
a perfectly fitted silk lining with chif-
fon beneath the lace, suggest the
plastron front and back, fagoted strap
pings in satin defining this. The
sleeve has a shaped ruffle Of lace
mounted over very full plisse ruffies
of chiffon. The skirt of white satin
fits snugly over the hips, the fullness
being adjusted by means of dart
shaped tucks at the band; and at
knee-depth there is applied a f1ounce
of plisse chiffon, which is covered
with bouillonnes of satin alternated
with lace, eight yards wide at the
hem,

Lamb a La Mode.

Lamb la mode is fully as accept
able an entree as beef prepared in
the same way and serves to give that
variety to the bill of fare for which
the average housekeeper is always
seeking. To prepare it let the lamb
stew very gently in a small quantity
OF water, in which has been placed a
couple of potatoes, cut up very fine.
When these have been dissolved into
a starchy mess add sufficient water
nearly to cover the meat, putting in
two sliced carrots, more chopped DO
tatoes and a cupful of green peas.
After the meat and vegetables are
soft slice half lemon, from which
the seeds have been removed, and use
it for garnishing, taking care to place
the peas, carrots, ETC., in alternate
rows.

Fowls for the Farmer.

Most farmers are not fanciers and
do not breed fowls to sell for breed
ers to others. Only now and then do
we find farmer that cares to handle
fancy breed because of the plum,
age, or Of the ornament they may be
to his lawn. Most farmers want the
most useful fowl that can be found.
The farmer in breeding should keep
this point in mind and should not per.
NIT himself to be persuaded to take
up with some high-priced breed of
chiefly fancy points. If a farmer
wants a fowl that he can show and
take prize on let him remember that
he can do 1t just as we'll with COM
mon breeds, provided they are pure,
as with some fancy breed of high
color. But leaving out the question
of shows, the farmer should breed for
some utility point alone. Say it is
egg production. Let him lose sight
of all showing ana work to produce
egg layers. Let him select continual.
ly the best layers for producers. Ac.
cording to the testimony of showmen
he will have to say goodbye to his
hope for prizes. A noted exhibitor of
birds declares that egg laying gets a
bird so out of shape that she stands
no chance whatever In show. Yet
these are the kind of birds the farmer
wants. The most profitable egg pro-
ducing flocks in the country have
been selected in this way and they
are not purchasable, as their owners
can make more out of them in egg
producing than in selling them for
breeders. With all such focks the
question Of selection is a large one.
Culling must be carried on from year
TO year, and that too relentlessly.

Gowns Are Now Made Short.

The "trotter frock" is all the rage
in this country just at present and
even the most expensive gowns are
made with short skirts. Cloth is the
leading fabric, yet velvets, too, look
quite as we'll with the ankle-high skirt.
Many of these gowns are trimmed
deliberately with lace and braid and
they may be uged for an afternoon
entertainment. It seems that women
are beginning TO realize the advan-
tages of a short skirt, and it may not
be many months before the trailing
evening gowns of to-day will give way
to "trotter" effects. For dancing moth
ing can surpass the short skirt so far
as comfort is concerned.

will no doubt be the outcome.

Dairyinq in Mexico.

Mr.. Lespinasse, the United States
consul at TuXpan, Mexico, in a report
to the government, says: The old
methods of milking, churning, and
general manipulation of milk products
are still in existence here, thereby
rendering it impossible to produce
good butter. Cows are allowed to
roam over the grazing lands and are
rarely sheltered or given the least
care. The milking process is per-
formed In the most unskilled manner
conceivable. The COW is tied by the
head, and the operator proceeds to
milk the animal in his rough and un.
systematic manner until he finally
forces a quart or two of inferior milk
from the cows udder. The milk is
placed in untidy wooden vessels and
transferred to some shed or clubhouse,
where 1t Is allowed to remain unpro-
tected over night. The following
morning the cream is skinned and
either beaten with a forked stick or
violently agitated in bottle until the
butter granules are formed. 1t is
then indifferently washed and offered
as butter. 1t quickly turns rancid. 1t
sells at from 80 to DO cents per pound
United States money, and is good
neither to look at nor to taste. The
sour milk Is compressed in a coarse
cloth, sailed and allowed to dry for
several days. 1t is then an insipid,

Under the caption, "The Union Pa
cific Railroad and Louisiana Terri
tory" the new Worlds Fair folder is
sued by the advertising department Of
the Union Pacific, which has attracted
such general attention, recites these
interesting facts:
while the construction Of the
Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and
triumphs, are part of the history of
the United States, the important part
played by this railroad in the develop
ment of the Louisiana Purchase can
hardly be estimated. In the building
up of this vast domain it has been one
Of the chief factors.
One hundred years ago the popula-
ton of the region was estimated at
10000. Up to the inception of the
Union Pacific Gin 1860 it had in
bered over 100000 of inhabitants.
In this wonderful growth, with its stu
pendous increase in all the many-sided
phases Of commercial, material and
intellectual prosperity, the Union Pa
cific-as glance at the map will
show-has had a conspicuous share.
country to settlers, and brought great
areas Of an unknown and unproduc-
tive wilderness into close communion
with metropolitan centers and mar
kets. Thriving cities, towns and ham,
lets, through its efforts, have sprung
up in every direction.
II may be of interest to know that
the total number of manufacturing
plants, and the value of their outputs,
combined with that of the national
products as reported in the census of
1900, give an aggregate production for
the Louisiana region of $500, 000, 200
annually, or 223 times the original pur-
chase price. The same census reports
$4,000 also show the total population
to be 1S,34S,255. of which S,303,o96 in
habitants are living in the states and
territories reached by the Union Pa
cific. On the 1900 census figures, It is
estimated that the true wealth of the
Louisiana purchase can be stated at
about $1S,051 $685. 59, ofSwhich $780,
621,3S7 is represented in the states
reached by this great railroad"
