Irish Crochet Coat.


A white Irish crochet coat is exceed
ingly smart in style made with a deep
collar of white linen. trimmed with
medallions of the lace, and having the
lace sleeve made with turn-back cuffs
of the linen and also finished with
fluffy 1ace-trimmed undersleeves. A
coat of this style should be worn with
a linen skirt trimmed with lace in
sets. 1t would also look well with a
skirt of white mohair, with the soft,
silky finish. But then the cuffs and
collar of the coat should have white
silk substituted for the linen.
1t Is quite the smart fad of the day
when wearing a lace coat to have the
hat made to match. With the Irish
crochet lace coat white picture hat
is good style with the flaring brim
faced with the coarse lace, and an
ostrich feather caught through the
brim and dropping over the hair at
the left side. If the wearer feels that
a touch of color will make the hat
more distinctive it may have the
crown a mass of green leaves or
formed entirely of pansies, forget-me-
nots or blue hyacinth blossoms.

Useful Fruits,

Figs. dates and prunes are all time

addition to the ordinary bill of fare.
Each of these fruits should be thor

with a half teaspoonful of salt until
lemon colored and thick. Add to this
one cupful of milk, half a cupful of
boiled rice, a cup and a half of gra-
ham flour and half a teaspoonful of

it is hubby. Then add carefully one
quarter cupful of chopped dates, one
teaspoonful of baking powder, and
the stif1y beaten whites of two eggs.

Exhibiting Butter.


The maker of butter, whether on
the farm or in the creamery, fire.
quently asks the question if it pays
to make an exhibit of butter at any
of the various shows where oppor-
tunity is given for that kind of a dis
play. 1t certainly does pay to ex-
hfbit butter, both for the effect it has
on the general public and for the
influence on the one making the ex-
hibit. The cost of making an exhibit
is slight, and the attention of the but
termaker becomes centered on the
methods necessary to produce a good
article. 1t is proverbial that every
farmers wife believes she is one of
the best butter makers in the country
The grocer that buys the butter dares
not tell her that she does not know
how to make butter, If she cannot, but
the butter Judge at the fair or show
will have to give her that information.
The movement among farmers wives
to learn more about buttermaking is
a good one, and every one of them
should be encouraged to do her best
and send her product to the butter
show. The same is true of the cream
cry buttermaker. The managers of
the creamery can well afford to pay
so or whatever it costs to exhibit
butter. just for the sake of getting
more information on how their own
butter looks when judged from the
standpoint of the butter judge.

Selecting the Dairy Bull.
The profitable dairy bull is one that
VIII produce female calves with high
milking powers and that will be able
to show great amount Of vigor. 1t
is not enough that he be able to pro-
duce calves with high milking powers.
The vigor is an essential point, rs
under heavy methods of feeding, such
as are now practiced in modern
diaries. many of our best developed
cows break down. The bull therefore
must have in himself every indica-
ton of great bodily vigor. The more
he has of this, the more likely will
he be to impress the same on his Off
spring, and place in them the power
OF continuing his good qualities. 1t
is not at all easy at this time to find
the kind Of a bull that is likely to
have the good points we are looking
for. There are a great many poor
bulls in service, and their male OF
spring are growing up into the bulls
that are to be used in the future. We
have to-day few herds that we can go
to for the right kind of a supply.
The carelessness OF the public In
this regard is shown in the low prices
prevailing for bulls. The bull should
bring a far higher price than a COW
End yet we find the bulls selling at
lower prices. We can but infer that
the breeders think that anything is
good enough for the male so long as
We have first class females. This has
been the great obstacle in the way OF
the improvement of the milking quail.
ties of our dairy breeds. A man can
afford to pay fancy price for bull
provided he can get the kind OF a bull
he really needs.

Mold on Parchment Paper.

Many of our readers use parchment
paper for lining the boxes in which
they pack their butter, and now and
then they have trouble with mold
that appears on it and which not in
frequently gets into the butter. The
parchment paper is for the purpose
of preventing this very thing. The
mold generally gets into the paper
when the latter is allowed to lie for
some time in ice boxes, refrigerator
or storage rooms in which the mold
has already developed. The mold
cannot grow spontaneously but comes
from minute seeds called spores. I'm
less these spores were on the paper
there could be no growth of mold.
When the parchment paper was lying
where mold was growing the spores
ripened and fell on this paper. II the
paper is kept in dry clean places
where NO mold ever appears it will
not in turn develop mold when 1t is
placed in contact with the moisture
that comes from the butter. Spores
cannot grow without moisture. When
such paper has been subject to con-
ditions that would make the growing
OF mold possible the best way to pre-
vent the development of the mold is
to soak the parchment paper in a
strong brine in which has been mixed
one pound of formaldehyde to three
gallons of brine. This soaking will
not injure the parchment paper, but
it will kill the spores of the mold.
When the same brine is to be used
several times in succession it should
be boiled between times to make
doubly sure that the spores do not
escape.

broidered with fine beads or silks, or
inset with lace. The latter are es-
pecially pretty. The short sleeves
may also be given a little impetus to

The horse industry Ia to-day In .
hourishing condition, little correspond
ing to the predictions OF some Of our
commercial prophets ten years ago.
At that time we were told that we
were on the eve of a horseless age.
To prove it the savants pointed to the
thousands Of people that were using
bicycles. 1t was said that agents had
been placed at the entrances to the
great parks In New York and other
cities and these counted the thousands
OF wheelmen and wheelwomen that
daily passed through the parks and
reported that oaly now and then a
carriage or mounted horseman was
seen That was true ten years ago In
All the great cities OF the country.
But how is it to-day?
Sit down at the entrance to any of
our great city parks in the summer
time and watch the passers-by. There
viii be seem steady stream OF car
rfages. with only now and then . man
or woman on q wheel. 1t is evident
that the wheel was only q temporary
plaything for the public, and that
when the public grew tired Of the
wheel 1t went back to the old friend
of mantle horse.
Within ten years there has been q
material increase in the number of
horses in the country and an increase
also in the value per head. The de-
mand has been greater than the sup
ply, and with the larger use Of horses
has come an increased rapidity Of
their wearing out. While the wheels
were being SO freely used, many of
the driving horses in the cities spent
much Of their time in the barns or in
the pastures. but since the public re-
turned to the use of the horse the
work OF the horse has increased, and
the consequent wear and tear Incl
dent to service and accidents has also
increased.
Tho horseless vehicles that have
been introduced in the cities are but
an Insignificant factor in the general
situation. Such vehicles are but the
playthings OF the wealthy or are in
service in only = slight degree COM
mercially. They in no sense keep pace
with the tremendous increase in popu-
lation and business that our country
is Witnessing. The value of horses in
the United States is placed by the
taxing bodies At more than 81 .O0O. 000.-
600, which valuation, as every man
knows, is far short of the real, since
values for taxing purposes are never
anywhere near the actual values. Yet,
though the naturalization is consid-
cradle, this item of over one billion
| dollars is an enormous one and gives
so1se tAea OF the great riches in horse
| flesh possessed by the nation.
| That farmers should pay more at
| tention to the raising OF good horses
| is evident. There Is no doubt that
| the demand for horses in the future
| is to be even greater than it is at the
| present time and that any man that
| raises good horses of almost any kind
| will be sure to realize good prices
for them.

lowing: Up to one and one-quarter
inches a heel is a military. up to one

BREEDING Liaht Horses.

George N. Ronmel, of the United
States Department of Agriculture
says: Stand by the auction ring Of
any great horse market and observe
closely the horses that fail to bring
prices sufficient to cover cost of pro-
ductfon. In the great majority of
cases trotting blood predominates II
any breeding at all is noticeable. Ask
a dealer what IL the breeding. IL any,
of most of the large numbers of the
unclassffied horses on the market, his
answer will be: "Trotting and coach
blood" This is not because draft
blood is more valuable or that the
blood Of the light breeds is not want
ed. for the great cry Of the market at
present is that good drivers and sad
dlers are extremely scarce. 1t Is be-
cause performance and style are much
more dimcult to acquire In breeding
than size and weight. It Is because
men with . fascination for the race
track attempt to produce trotters
without the slightest regard for ma
lures laws. and no disappointment or
failure seems SUFFICIENT to bring them
to realize their folly. Breeding to a
trotter without system and study, but
only in the hope OF getting q speedy
foal rs a possibility or an accident, is
playing with IRE" The breeding of
light horses requires not only a con-
siderable amount of capital, but de-
mands q knowledge OF horses Of the
very highest order. 1t necessitates
concentration Of effort and years of
waiting and planning. It is not every
man that brings such qualities to bear
when he takes . 1.600-pound draft
mare to q 1.20o-pound harness or sad
die stallion, and 1t Is largely because
of this, and not on account of the
breeds themselves, that SO many poor
horses are forced onto the market. A
high-class roadster, coacher, or sad
der is by far tho most difficult horse
to produce that the market calls for.
In addition to careful plans of breed
ing and high Individual excellence in
the resulting progeny, a course of
handling, mannering, and training
must be pursued before the horse will
figure as a really marketable animal.
These facts must be thoroughly un-
derstood IL a man would breed light
