dous outlay for any one but multi
millionaire, and even multi-million-
aire in presidential year, with an un-
certain outlook, thinks two or three
times before firing up.
1t is not improbable that the lesser
expense of the new motor boats has
something to do with their popularity.
These "watermobiles." as they have
begun to be called, are tremendously
speedy, and their thrilling perform
ances may be consolation to the men
who are giving up the amplitude and
palatial elegance of the older steam
yachts. The water automobile may not
only be fast, but it may go at its best
speed without police interference. No
speed laws yet interfere with the new
wizards of the water.
A 50-foot motor boat, with good gas
oline engines may cost $4,000. 1t will
run about IL miles an hour, normally.
A special speed boat, capable of 10
miles an hour, will cost twice as much.
Even on the largest of these boats,
two men at 500 month is all the
crew that is needed, and since the fuel
is one pint of gasoline an hour per
horsepower, with the market price
about Is cents gallon, it may be
seen that the watermobile is a vastly
less expensive luxury than the steam
pleasure yacht of the past

DO NOT NEGLECT THING.
It's the Only Way in Which Thou
sands of Acres of Land Can Be
Improved Permanently.

The wonderful effect resulting from
system of tile drainage, as seen on
many farms, should be an incentive to
increasing interest in this work. That
here should be little Improvement of
this kind in new and unimproved
country, where land is comparatively
cheap, is not surprising. 1t is not,
however, SO easy to understand why
people are so slow to make such i'm
provements in the older sections of
the country where land is high.
That there is a very large amount
of land in these older settled portions
of the country that would be greatly
improved by good system of thing
there can be no question. A farmer
living in western New York, writing
to the Rural New Yorker, says:
Even here in western New York, re-
ferred to by many as the garden of
the state thousands of acres that are
not in proper condition are each year
plowed and planted to crops, nor can
they be expected to afford favorable
results unless nature in some I'M
usual manner renders assistance The
well-known excuse or objection to this
system Of work made by far too many
is the expense to be incurred not only
for the tile itself, but for the labor re-
quired additional to that of the reg
ular farm labor
But large part of such drainage
work does not require highly skilled
and expensive labor for its perform
ance. The farmer and his regular help
can do it when they cannot work in
the fields.
In place where the fall is so slight
and the work so difficult as to require
such help the improvement that will
result will many times pay for it's
cost. On great many farms there are
many days throughout the season when
little profitable work is done and when
the time could be spent at such work
as thing to very great advantage

WILL NOT SELL FERTILITY.
Why the Progressive Farmers Of
Northern Illinois No Longer Dis
pose of Their Skim Milk.

The farmers of the corn belt are
coming more and more to appreciate
the value of their skim milk for feed
ing on their farms to their calves,
hogs and poultry. Talking with the
manager of creamery in northern
Illinois, representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that he could
buy no skim milk for making up into
cottage cheese; for the reason that
the farmers in his vicinity would not
sell it. They declared that it was
worth at least 20 cents per 100 pounds
for feeding to their farm animals, and
that they preferred to keep it. even If
they could get that for it. One man
lived not far from bottling establish
ment where he could get good price
for his whole milk, but he preferred
to haul it to a whole milk creamery
that he might get the skim milk to use
on his farm. In this same locality one
year the farmers quite generally
sold their skim milk for shipping to the
city, but when fall came found that
their hogs were in poor condition on
account Of having been deprived of
the skim milk in the early periods OF
their lives. The next year they made
change and held back the skim
milk for their own use We doubt
very much if 20 cents per 100 pounds
represents the true vale of the skim
milk for feeding purposes. That may
be indicated by the actual chemical
content of the milk, but it has value
A. a
it has in combination with corn. 1t
has been shown that corn is worth
very much more when fed with skim
milk than when fed alone. AS ball
ANGER for corn it has value that the
chemist will never be able to deter

Queer Methods of Dairvine.

A report from Consul Lespinasse,
Tuxpam. Mexico, describes the quaint
methods of dairying in practice in that
region. Cream is roughly SKINNED
and either beaten with a forked switch
or swashed about in a bottle until the
butter forms. This sells for a dollar
a pound (silver) and lis neither good
to look at nor to taste" Cheese is
made by COMPRISING whey in a coarse
cloth, sailing and allowing to dry sew
eral days, forming an insipid spongy
mass. an inch thick and five inches in
diameter, worth from IL to IS cents.
Mr. Lespinasse suggests there is room
for improvement. No exceptions to
this statement have yet been taken.

surprising that opera cloaks and even
ing dresses are especially charming this
season. Many kinds of trimming are
made of shaded panne and velvet leaves
appliques on to lace.
Sumptuous dressing is the order of
the day, for we have vertically returned
to the styles in vogue in the days of the
French empire. We see how little the
heart of woman has changed when it
comes to question of beautiful
clothes as displayed in the leading ate
liers of the Rue de la Paix. 1t seems
to me that neither English, French nor
American women are in the least con-
sidering the cost of their best frocks, by
which mean the toilette de reception
and the evening gown. They do, how
ever affect delightfully."- chic simplic-
ity in the wearing of linens and white
serge for the mornings, but their even
ing toilettes are really splendid crea-
lions.
Twill tell you now of simple evening
gown worn by well-known debutante.
1t is composed of white silk muslin,
gagged in at the waist, and finished
down the front by quaint little ruches
of white taffeta,aa thicker ruching also
appears at the feet, headed by narrow
border Of pearl trimming. The belle
bodice is trimmed with ruchings of silk,
and the decolletage is outlined with the
pearl trimming, which rests on the neck
The sleeves are nothing more than early
Victorian puffs, and round the waist is
very wide sash of Romaney blue satin.
There is, without doubt, growing
fancy for green in beautiful soft shades.
Consequently emeralds are gaining in
favor, and we also see other curious
green stones. Jewels are mostly in
Louis XIV. settings, varied by wonder
full oriental stones and very fine speci-
mems of Italian enamel. We Parisians
are great admirers of Italian art; and
many of the newest models of tea gowns
are sufficient witness to this.
Enamel work is much used in paraSol
handles, some of which are very quaint
and pretty. We are fastidious in trifes
of this kind, and do not care for over
elaberateness. A handle of three we'll
blended enamels is an adequate finish to
plain colored parasol or en-tout-cas.

OLD COW BREAKS RECORD.
Gives Down Twenty-Four Quarts at
q Milking and Walks OF
with a Chuckls.

Henry w. Brown, of Flanders, L. H.
has COW that is almost prolific enough
IN milk giving to establish full -fiedged'
milk route all by herself. She gave.
"a quarts of milk at one milking. This
is the most astonishing feat yet ac-s
complished by Suffolk county COW. so
far as can be learned. !.
The COW is about eight years old. She
is OF no particular breed-just cow
that's ALL Previous to this remarkable
record she had been doing nothing WON
derful in milk giving; in fact. her best
record last summer was IS quarts at
two milkings.
When Mr.. Brown went out to milk
her he thought the COW looked at him
with rather peculiar expression, all
most as if she would say: I'm going
to do something wonderful for you this
time" Mr.. Brown carried regular
size milk pail, and, seating himself. pro-
ceeded to relieve the COW of her milk.
He was not much surprised in filing
the pail the first time, but when he got
it full he noticed that there appeared
to- be plenty of it left, and after emptying
the pail he started in again. During
the filling of this pail the COW kept turn
ing around and looking at him with what
her owner declared was rather
amused expression on her face.
When the second pail was nearly filed
he muttered to himself: Great Scott!
Brindle, you're regular fountain
After emptying the second pailful, and
going back toward the COW, he swears
the animal fairly laughed at him. When
he filled the pail for the second time. he
notified his family of the wonderful cow
he had out in the barnyard, and re-
marked that he thought they had bet
ter get out the washtub for him to milk
in. The third pail was not filled COM
pletely full, though, before the supply
was exhausted. Both Mr. Brown and
the COW heaved signs of relief when the
wonderful milking ordeal was COM
pleted, and at the same time both looked
proud-the man because he owned such
a wonder and the COW because she had
done SO we'll for her master.

Offered Big Trout for Fee.

1.-THE queerest fee ever had offered
to me was by an old farmer up in
Monroe county, said a prominent
physician who is also something of a
sportsman. Il was up there last year

was stopping to attend an old wom-
an in the neighborhood who had sud
denly been taken i'll. After had fixed

are at London and Manchester and
where the auspices have not always
been of the best, or the associations
the most savory. The Ladies' Kennel
association here evidently thinks it
can do something with dog racing on
q better scale than that common in
England, and better than that OBJ
served among certain English factory
people who have tried this sort of
sport in various parts of the east. The
wiry whippets who are selected for
this form of racing make astonishing
records. l am told that at Hampstead
the other day one of the whippets ran
22O yards in 1919 seconds. This record
will give some idea of the effectiveness
of these dogs as racers.
What is a whippet? Originally, it
seems, a cross between an Italian
greyhound and fox terrier. In a gen
eral way it looks like one of the small
err types of greyhound 1t is now a
distinct breed, different from type
that might be produced by the origi-
nal cross. In race the whippet COW

are usually handicap, the distance be-
ing apportioned by weight. Sometimes
the races are run in heats, half doz-

exact figures-although the Gould out
lay, and the Manchester case have
seemed to be fairly well known-but
whatever the money expense, dukes
are likely to come high. Just now
much sympathy is being expressed for
the daughter of ex-governor and eX-
vice president, Levi P. Morton. Helen
Morton has usually been spoken of as
the Countess Bosom Talleyrand-Peri-
CORD. In France she is the duchess of
Valencay. She may still like being a
duchess, but she is tired of the duke.
of whose treatment of her there are
many conflicting stories. At all events
the duke and duchess began negotia-
lions for a divorce in the French
courts some weeks ago. The dukes
mother, the princess of Sagan, has
asked the pope to sanction a dissolu-
ton of the marriage, and the duchess
has applied to the civil courts.
Helen Morton was the most beauti-
ful OF Levi P. Morton's daughters. Her
marriage with Paul Louis Marie Arch
ambauld Bosom was called a love
match. The wedding was at st. Mary's
church in London, on October S, 1901,
Mr.. Choate and the entire staff of the
American embassy were there. with
the duchess of Marlborough and a bril-
liant company. The old duke of Tai
leyrand himself couldn't come, his legs
being bad. The Morton settlement of
100000 year was a great boon to the
groom's family and everything looked
happy enough. The duchess has borne
no children, and this fact is mentioned
so frequently that it may be assumed
that it is made at least pretense by
the mother-in-law who Is appealing to
Rome for an annulment.
