tablespoonful of water, four drops of
coch1neal, and four drops of essence

the mixture begins to melt stir gently
for two or three minutes and then
take from the fire. Have ready large
sheets of oiled paper, and pour the
syrup in drops about the size of

soon as they are firm and hard, re-
move the drops with timber knife
or spatula, place on a sieve in a warm
place until thoroughly dry, then pack
in glass jars or tight boxes.

Belts and GirdIes.

The belt is one of the most impOr-
tant accessories in the summer ward
robe. Kid reigns supreme for outdoor
wear, but the deep, 1880 girdles OF
heavy moire antique or tri-shaded soft
Louisine ribbon are the correct things
for setting off the fluffy frock, with its
frills and founces.
There was time when woman
thought one belt a season all that was
necessary. Times have changed, and
now she must have at least dozen
leather and silk belts to be at all well
strapped together.
The most chic kid belts are six
inches in width and are finished in
the back with three scallops and three
fat brass buttons of not extreme size.
The fastening may be a brass buckle,
eight inches long, with long, sharp
prongs piercing the kid. The buckle

Swiss and Ratiste Hats.

The outline of lingerie hats is so
soft and graceful that they cannot
help being becoming to the average
face, and if a band is put inside to
raise them and take away the pan
caky" look they assume no small
amount of style.
Any tiny flower can be used in
place of rosebuds for a crown, and
even one huge petalled blossom would
make the entire top of hat look very
smart.
The prettiest laces for lingerie hats
are those of very fine mesh and deli
cate pattern They should be rather
straight than with deep scalloped
edge. as the latter lessen the width

Milking by Contract.

j. H. Monrad. in New York Produce
Review, tells of a contract system of
milking In vogue on some farms in
denmark. Women do the milking and
are paid according to the amount of
milk they extract from the cows or
according to the amount of butter fat
contained in it. The latter system
he regards as the better of the two,
as 1t induces the mixers to strip the
COWS carefully, knowing that the rich
est milk is in the strippings. The
mixers receive a certain sum of
money weekly and twice a year are
given what additional amount is COM
ing to them on the basis of the fat
content of the milk. This system
would probably work better on large
farms than on small ones and better
in Denmark than in the United States.
We imagine that it would be just
little difficult to get American milk
ers to enter into an arrangement of
that kind.

Holes for Tree Settino.

The mere digging of a hole for
tree is small matter, but often the
question of the hole in which the tree
is to be set determines whether the
tree is to be a valuable producer of
fruit or not. In this work it is not
safe to take the example of another
man. On loamy prairie soils, where
the subsOil is of such a texture that
the water will readily drain away. the
digging of a hole about Is inches deep
is the principal thing necessary in the
correct setting of an apple tree But
most OF our orchards are planted on
clay SOIL and frequently on hillsides,
where the soil is so retentive of mois-
lure that the water does not drain off
readily after storm. In such a case.
TO dig deep hole in land that has
not been plowed for a great many
years, if ever, is to make a puddle for
the tree. If there is a gentle slope to-
ward this hole the adjacent land will
pour its water into it, and the hole
VIII become more of a pool than any
tnlng else. A tree set in such a place
simply remains from year to year
without making much growth, seem
ing to be engaged in great struggle
with nature for existence. In a clay
SOIL the whole land is so clayey that
water does not seep through it. Some
orcnard1sts run a subsoil plow the
length of the rows that are to receive
the trees. so that the water will seep
from the soil around the tree into the
adjacent soil. We know of orchards
that are set on sandy hi1lsides. 1t is
evident that in such a location the
preparation of the hole in which the
tree is to be set is of no moment, as
the subsoil is of such composition
that the water cannot remain to
drown out the trees.

For a Girls Room.

In furnishing her room a girl should
bear in mind that quality, not guam
tity, is the keynote to beauty. She
should decide on a color scheme and
stick to it, or if she departs slightly
from 1t, let her go in the right direc-
ton and choose a color which CORE
spends well with the main color
scheme In the first place she should
avoid too many personal photographs
half dozen of her dearest friends
photos, and no more. Her room should
contain at least one picture beautiful
enough to raise her to a higher plane
whenever her eyes, fall upon it. She
should be cautious in dealing with
posters, bric-a-brac and gewgaws.
Simplicity of hue and outline should
be her main idea, striving rather to
have a few good things than a great
many inferior ones

Fry Fish in olive Oil.

Any fish fried in olive oil will be
found more delicious than if either
butter or lard has been employed.
However, none but the very best i'm
ported oil should be used, and it
should be allowed to come to blue
heat" before the fish is put in. This
can be tested by throwing in little
pieces of bread with the crust re-
moved. If they become a golden
brown while one counts ten the oil is
about at the right temperature. Use
sufficient to float the fish, as it is one
OF the paradOXes of the kitchen that
the more grease used in frying, the
less greasy will be the article fried.
