When Banks Cave In,

A large number of farmers have
trouble with the parts of their farms
that border on rivers. Whenever there
are heavy rains the banks along the
rivers and large streams cave in, and
on some farms the area of the most
valuable fields is being constantly re-
stricted by this process. The schemes
tried for preventing this are numer-
Gus and quite generally unsuccessful.
Where stones are thrown in they soon
disappear in the mud, If it is of the
nature OF soft clay. Grass seed sown
on the steep banks fails to take root.
If it be quack grass it may gain a
Ioothold, but 1t thence spreads over
the farm and becomes a nuisance.
Brush when thrown in may theck the
washing away If there be enough of 1t,
but 1t Is difficult to haul in a sufficient
quantity to be effective.
Growing willows seems to be the
most effective method of checking the
wasting of the land. No matter how
steep the land, Ine willow can be-
made to grow. The mere sticking in
Of the willow twigs is not enough.
They may be swamped in the mud
that falls from the disintegrating
bank. The willow rods must be long
enough and numerous enough to be
made into a sort Of great shield by
the use Of barbed wire.
The willow is admirably adapted to
this work, as 1t so readily reproduces
itself by means Of cuttings, sprouts
and suckers, as well as seeds. Where
the bank is steep, willow poles should
be cut not less than twenty feet in
length. These can be laid up and
down the bank, and fence wire stapled
to them. II necessary some wire may
be run up over the top OF the bank
and fastened to stakes driven in the
ground back too far to be affected by
the cave-ins. II there are any further
breakings away Of the earth they will
but make soil about the joints of the
willows and will become roofing
places for the new growths. The will
low poles will be held together by the
wire till the willow trees have become
veil started. when they will be no
longer needed.
The rows Of willows are far more
slightly than are the ragged banks
Besides, in q dozen years or 80 the
wood from these growths win have
become valush'e

Goats and Walking skirts.

The habit coat which will accom-
pany the walking skirt bids fair to be
plain, and the sleeves, like those in
most garments, will be moderate. An
effective model of light weight mus
tard brown cloth is trimmed with pas
sementerie braid. The skirt is hung in
small box plaits, with the exception Of
the front breadth, and attached just
about the knees with little clusters Of
braid loops. The bottom Of the skirt
is trimmed with rather an elaborate
pattern done in the braid, but at this
point the plaits are left free. The
bolero has reversible fronts faced
with silk in the same tons and en-
broldered with the passementerie, the
coat fastening with passementerie
loops and buttons. The sleeves are
gathered into the cuff by means Of a
row Of small box plaits taken in the
material half way between the Shout
der and elbow. The cuff about the
hand is trimmed with passementerie.

WOMAN ACTIVE IN POLITICS.
Mrs. Sarah Foster stumped Entire
State of Idaho.

No campaigning done by women
anywhere this fall-and mighty little
done by men-compares with the rec
ord made in Idaho by Mrs. Sarah Fos-
ter, president of the Woman's Nation
al Republican association. In a can
vas-covered prairie wagon she plunged
across the country by day or night
1t mattered not to her-stumping the
state for Roosevelt. From one mining
town to another she went, speaking
fifteen minutes here or twenty min
utes there, as the case might me. Then
she was on the road again. Some
times Mrs. Foster enjoyed the luxury
of a real bed in real house, but
more often 1t was pine board in a
miners shack, where a curtain was
strung up to divide the mems and
woman's uarters. One morning she
held a bit of mirror for the party
candidate for assembly to shave by,
after which he in turn held it for her
to do up her hair.

COL. D. r. ANTHONY DEAD
Famous Kansas Editor the Victim OF
Heart Disease.

Col. d. r. Anthony, the noted editor
of the Leavenworth Times and broth
err of Miss Susan B. Anthony, the
woman suffragist, died at his home
at Leavenworth Kan, Nov. IL, OF
heart disease. He was so years old.
He had served both as mayor and
postmaster Of Leavenworth, as a
member of the Kansas. legislature,
and in 1886 was made a government
director of the Union Pacific railroad.
Col. Anthony had noteworthy ca
reer filed with stirring incident. His
body was covered with scars, traces
of wounds received in combat with
his enemies, for Col. Anthony was as
much at home with the revolver as
with the pen. He was the hero of
hundred battles during the early days
of the state, when Kansas was on the
frontier and men held life at little
value. Col. Anthony went to Leaven-
worth in 1853. Almost on the day Of
his arrival he attended Free Soil"
meeting, and made an address that
astounded the followers of John
Brown and the men engaged in fight
ing the border ruffians. An attempt
was made to kill him that night, but
the young easterner returned the fire
with such interest that one Of his as
sailants nearly lost his life.
On May 10, 1875, a rival editor, an.
gered at Col. Anthony's merger
schemes, confronted him as he was
entering the opera house and fired on
him at close range. One Of the bull.
let's entered Col. Anthony's body near
the heart, and his recovery was con-
sidered marvellous.
In the civil war Col Anthony
helped to raise and was made lieu
tenant in the First Kansas Cavalry.
He was promoted by degrees to col
onel, and distinguished himself in the

they term the Victorian what used to
be called the granny muff.
A very fascinating novelty combines
a handbag and muff; the bag is
mounted invisibly in the top of the
muff, just jeweled clasp peeping out
to indicate its whereabouts. Others in
the same style show merely a purse,
but either form is in the height Of

Shoe Lore.

Slippers run to gayety and high
heels. Some of the new ones have
eight straps.
Cuban heels are more fashionable
for walking than French heels.
Many women are wearing plain
vamped shoe without tip.
Dull kids will be more fashionable
this season than for some time.
Patent leather is the thing for dress
occasions, but is not durable for hard
wear.
1t seems true that toes are becom-
ing more pointed than for several
years past.
In high dress shoes cloth uppers
are in good taste.
Bronze slippers, buttoned with a
strap across the instep and worked
with bronze beads, are modish.
AS for stockings, extreme open-stitch
styles are demode, and fine but plain
woven hose is the correct thing.

Prosperity in Small Farms

We have become quite familiar
with the term agricultural depres-
sion in England" 1t has been COM
mon text for writer's and speakers on
both sides of the water. The ques-
ton has been why should an agricul-
tural depression exist in England
when 1t did not exist in France and
other European countries. Along with
agricultural depression has come ag-
ricultural depopulation, the people in
the rural districts finding it impos-
sible to make a good living have
moved to the cities and there de-
pended on days work to give them
enough to subsist on. Mr.. Joseph G.
Stephens, United States consul at
Plymouth, England, reports to the
United States government that small
farm holdings are now considered the
best remedy for agricultural depopu.
lation. Many papers still argue, how
ever, that 1t Is delusion, and will
not work In practice. Where it has
been tried it has been successful, and

Is divided into small holdings the de-

Lincoln and Surrey counties. Men

ing on land which is their own, OK
is held on secure tenure. This Is
at present far from the case, and thou
sands Of acres go out of cultivation
and multitudes hurry off to foreign
lands to obtain the opportunity denied
them in their own"
The small farm is everywhere the
salvation of the country, where the
agricultural conditions are such as
to make the small farm possible. On
great areas Of poor land or on rich
lands that have very insignificant
rainfall, Of course extensive opera
tions have to be carried on. But most
OF the land in countries with rich
soil and abundant rainfall is of
character that makes the small farm
easily possible. Americans should
take lesson from England and
should do all in their power to encour-
age the breaking up Of large farms.
The man that adds farm to farm for
his own glory and that he may dwell
alone in the midst of the land is not
a public benefactor.
Our land is never intensively farmed
under extensive operations. The man
with tens of thousands of acres de-
Ponds on doing work on an immense
scale and almost always the ground Is
not made to yield the returns 1t
should. No man will work as hard for
another as he will work for himself,
and when the land is filed with men
working for themselves the land
brings forth larger crops than it does
at any other time.
The more small farms there are the
more independent farmers we will
have and the more they will be in
terested In the welfare of the rural
inhabitants. Big farms employ hired
men, and these never feel themselves
to be fixtures even If they are re-
tanned on the same farm for many
years. Their independence of action
is destroyed. They cannot take hold
of public affairs as they would do If
they owned their own farms and were
not under the dictation of other men.

The Sport of Killing.

The present revulsion from the kill.
Ing Of animals for sport Is an indica.
ton Of the increasing delicacy of the
sensibility of the time. The thought
of inficting needless pain on any liv-
ing creature as a means of obtaining
pleasurable excitement has become
horrible. The animal has risen to a
new place of dignity. 1t has become a
creature to which more consideration
Is given. Besides, the whole tone of
modern society is of a keener sensi-
bility. Pain in itself shocks the
nerves of the observer of it. A little
bird struggling in the agony caused
by a sportsman's bullet is likely to
stir in him a feeling of pity which
turns pleasure-seeking into mournful
self-accusation.
