Streamers Of TulIe.

What is hard to believe that the
popular draped veil will ever be held
entirely in dsfavor by the woman who
well knows its acknowledged charm,
Paris fashion authorities now assert
that there the draped veil is super
seded 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 un-
doubtedly have their good points, and
are distinctly becoming to long or
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
streamers.

Repairing the Buildings.

On the well-ordered farm there will
be nearly every year some necessary
work of repairs on the outside of the
buildings. If such work Is always at
tended to In season there will be a
saving in the durability as we'll as the
good appearance of the buildings. One
Of the most important of these repairs
is In keeping a good roof. If these are
of shingles, these will wear or rot out
in time and need replacing. Atten-
ton to keeping in repair will add con-
siderably to the duration of a roof,
and this is something that should not
be neglected.
A well-covered building Is worth
keeping painted. If well done and as
often as needed painting will add to
the durability and good looks of the
building. A farmer should himself be
able to paint a barn or other out
buildings. Autumn is a good time for
this kind of work.

Dreseinn the BahY.

Though common sense is still the
leading idea in dressing the baby, yet
the baby of today illustrates the fact
that his mother is ia touch with the
Newest fashions, says The Woman's
Home Companion.
He also makes it clear to all wao
have the honor of his acquaintance
that his mother is a very wonderful
person; for does she not do for him
what often times she cannot do for
herself-dress him comfortably, and
at the same time fashionably?
She discards entirely all tight bands
and clothing for her growing child,
and yet she believes in here and there
a frill or two to soften the effect of
an otherwise too simple and too sew
ere dress. The result is that baby's
clothes have an air Of style, as well
as Of ease and comfort.

which is explained in the following
from the Journal d'Agriculture Pra
tique:"

q manner that the ntirates accumu-
lated In the soil by the former are
consumed by the latter. This accum-

2. To add to the soil, not only all the
mineral elements necessary for their
development, but also those required
by the cereals that are TO follow. 3.
To reserve the farmyard manure for
the cultivation of the plants that con.
sumo the nitrate. 4. The result Of
this system is to increase the quantity
of humus In the soil, In mineral ele-
ments and In nitrates. This system
renders II necessary that a large pro
portion of the crops should consist OF
leguminous plants. What these plants
should be must be decided by the
farmer, who must take into careful
consideration the environment, and Sc
lect only such crops as will thrive in
the locality. Certainly one of the best
Is lucerne, but, as experience has
shown In America, there are some
soils which are admirably adapted to
the growth of lucerne but are deficient
In the bacteria to store the nitrate
nodules on the roots. This may be
remedied by obtaining a small guam
tity of earth frof an old lucerne field
and sowing 1t lightly over the new
field. For the greater portion of Aus
tralia the clovers are not available for
this purpose. but there are many 9TH
er leguminous crops to be chosen
from. This system of agriculture is
said to have effected very great i'm
provement in the cultivation of the
land in Italy. and 1t has been warmly
recommended by the best authorities
in France and Spain."-Indiana Farm

BIackhead in Turkeys.

For a number of years 1t has been
more or less impossible to raise tur-
keys in Rhode Island on account of
the ravages of what Is commonly
called the blackhead disease.
While the earlier efforts Of the
Rhode Island Experiment station, in
cooperation with the agricultural de-
partment at Washington, discovered
the cause of the disease a number of
years ago, its method of spreading, as
well as how to prevent or cure 1t,
has baffled all attempts at solution.
An animal husbandry department OF
the experiment station has continued
the study Of the disease and has been
carrying on experiments to learn
more about its nature, and through
this knowledge to discern some meth
cd of combating or avoiding the trou-
BILE. The results of last summers
work, while not conclusive In any
way. are still very interesting in them
selves, and also because they may
give some clew as to future methods
of study and experiment
Old methods of raising by letting
the poults, or young turkeys, run with
the mother turkey have mostly been
failures, although new land has been
used for the pen. This shows that the
disease was present and easily infect
ed the birds. In one yard six out OF
seven, and in another four out Of sew
en-, have died.
Out of turkeys raised by hand for
three weeks and then placed in pens,
three out Of eight have been lost
in one pen and five out OF IL In an.
other. The average loss in these and
similar experiments has been, up TO
the present time, about 40 percent.
Much better results have been OBJ
tanned from poults raised in the house,
although some Of these also have died
when placed in the field at an early
age, as noted above. OF those kept In
the house until IL weeks and then
placed in the field, there has so far
been no loss. This seems to indicate
that, contrary to general opinion.
poults can be reared in confinement
in a house. The experiments also
seem to show that the blackhead dis
ease of turkeys is not inherited from
the egg nor contracted from that por-
tlon of the food fed to them. 1t seems
rather to come from outside contain
ination in soil or air or in the food
which they peck up.
On the whole. the experiments for
the summer advanced quite satisfac-
torily. To have them without some
drawbacks that vitiate portions OF the
results and compel repetition or re-
tard the final results would be more
than could be expected. The chief
difficulties met with have been lack OF
funds for building and fences and the
fact that the experimental grounds
have been reclaimed from swamp
lands within two years, and are there
| fore hardly as dry as could be de-
| sired.-Tribune Farmer.

Garlic in Cooking.

Americans will probably never learn
to eat garlic stewed. like onions, but it
is fact that they are using it in cook
ing to a greater extent than would
have seemed possible a few years ago.
Five or ten cents buys enough garlic
to last even those who like it through
a winter Since it is so cheap it pays
to always have it on hand, and to
learn to use 1t wisely, which means
not too well. Rub a scrap of dried
bread or toast with a split Glove of gar
lie and toss with the salad. The
French call this a chapon, and It is eX-
tremely good. Rubbing bit of garlic
over hot platter improves the taste
OF beefsteak. 1t is a good thing also
to rub the casserole or the dish in
which pot roast is to be cooked with
garlic.

Raise Pure Breds.

II a farmer will only trv pure bred
pigs once he will never want to go
back to the mongrels again. The pure
breds will take less feed to fatten
them and he can sell the choice ones
to others at better than stockyard
prices and send the culls to the butch
er and get the very top market prices
for them and generally premium.
A strong argument in favor of the
pure bred animal is their uniformity
of color, which counts for great
deal at the stockyards. Recently
while at the Union stockyards, at In
dianapolis, | met the hog buyer for
Kingan's packing house, and he point
ed to pen OF hogs that he had just
bought and said they were the best in
the yards. asked him why, as there
was a big market of hogs that morn
ing, and he said because they were
uniform in size and color and pure
breds.
There are always buyers ready to
buy pure breds at premium and a
great many farmers are falling into
line and will soon be raising pure
breds. When the average farmer
learns how much pleasure as well as
profit there is In handling pure breds,
there will be many less scrubs
throughout the country. The farm
er who wants to get the most out of
the feed raised on the average farm
must have pure breds to eat it as that
