directly over the line of the stanchions.
spliced in the short connecting ropes,
C, one for each stanchion except the
last, to which the main rope may be
attached. The best position for the con-
Meeting ropes 10 branch off can be easily
found upon trial. A few inches one
way or the other will not matter. The
connecting ropes are to be fastened to
the upper ends of the latch dogs. The
best way for making this attachment
is to insert staple or screw eye in the
latch dog and fasten hook, or what is
still better, small harness snap, to the
end of the connecting rope.
When it is desired to leave one or
more cows in the stable the connecting
ropes may be detached from the STAN
chions holding them. BY pulling the
main rope all the latch dogs will be
raised, and it will require but two or
three lessons for the COWS to learn to
push back the latches and come out of
the stanchion. In case of fire this simple
attachment may be found especially
valuable.
The device for closing the stanchions
is still more simple, and the two are
wholly independent of each other This
device consists of the rope e, which is
fastened to the ceiling in similar man
ner as the main rope in the other device
At 6, directly below it, there should be
a small pulley, although in small
stable screw eyes will answer. This rope
is fastened to the l"tches I, as shown
in the illustration. Now, by pulling the
rope, the latches will be closed, and II
the rope, a, is loose the latch dogs will
fall of their own weight and hold the
latches in position. In the illustration
it is assumed that the entrance to the
stable is at the right side of the cows.
II the entrance is at the opposite end
Of the stable the rope in the first de-
scribed device will need to be reversed,
and in the second device the return
rope will not be necessary.-Orange

SELECTION OF CROPS.
Why Gardeners and Fruit Growers
Should Stick Steadily to Plants
That Are Profitable.

A good many producers of vegetables
and fruits keep no account of their
operations. A good many more keep
account, but do not keep account of
each individual crop. But it is impos-
sible for a man to know what crops
are paying him and what crops are
running him into debt unless he does
keep an account with each one On
some farms the mere elimination of the
money-losing crops would make
great difference in the annual reve-
nues. The man that will do this extra
bookkeeping will generally find that he
has some useless cropper that is taking
him a cent of money, taking one year
with another. 1t takes the fertility
from the land and return only enough
money to pay for the actual labor. This
is no indication that the particular
crop is not a profitable one to some
one else. 1t may be very profitable
crop in the hands of neighbor or on
different soil. or going into market
different from that to which this farm
er may have access. 1t is generally
the case that no one farm is adapted
to the growing of all kinds of crops.
In fact it may be well said that this
general adaptability of land never oc-
ours Only limited number of plants
will grow well on any one farm, and
the problem is to find those and elm
mate the ones that do not do we'll. II
the farmer will make this discovery
and stick to the plants he finds profit
able he will have taken a long step
toward success.-Farmers' Review.

FEMININE FANCIES.
Various Bits of Finery That Are In

Dressers.

The popularity of the loose blouse
bodice is waning.
Gowns of white cloth, hopsacking
and thick serge, trimmed with coarse
guipure and mink, are becoming pop
ular.
Some of the charming early Victori-
an f1chu effects are enhanced by the
addition of pointed waist bands, beau
tifully fitted
The tendency in evening waists Is
to do away with the shirt waist effect
and to make the waist more on the
order of the bodice.
Very handsome are the white linen
waists made up with bands of Russian
cross stitch.
Net has the advantage of variety,
for it can be worn over different colors
and always it assumes a new appear
ance over its new lining.
Chiffon velours and chiffon velvet
constantly gain in favor and are ex-
quisite to look upon as well as so light
as to be most satisfying to the wearer.
Fagoting is very fashionable, used
as the heading for band of ribbon,
and some of the prettiest ribbon trim
mings are doubled, sewed along the
upper edge and handsomely fagotted.
Ribbon is used for betting which ter

this chou is carried little loop OF

KEEP UP AGITATION.
Good Roads Will Surely Come II All
Who Need Them ClamOr for
Their Embellishments.

While the people of this country have
been expending their energies and
means in contributing the best system
of railroads upon the earth, there has
been little attention given to building
highways according to modern ideas.
There has been no adequate system for
maintaining them, and their condition
in this age of general development and
improvement is disgrace to civilized
nation.
1t seems to be settled beyond argu-
ment that the public roads in this
country are to be improved. Argument
is all on the affirmative side, and there
is no opposition. The only question to
settle is of ways and means, and the
attention of the people is being direct
ed to national aid to road Improvement
as outlined in the Brownlow BILL
In countries that are famed for their
good roads their general government is
a large factor in their general manage
ment. Nearly 100 years ago our nation
al government was engaged in project
ing and building extensive systems of
public highways to develop the re-
sources of the country, and probably
would have continued such policy but
for the rapid growth of steam railway
systems that seemed better adapted to
the needs of the expanding business and
the increasing traffic of the country.
Within recent years, through the de-
partment of agriculture, the office of
public road inquiries was established
and is maintained by yearly appropria-
tions from the public treasury, result
ing in great good in promoting road
improvement, and there has been an in
creasing demand upon this office, not
only for achieving aid, but for material
assistance.
In responding to the peoples call
for government aid there has been made
safe and healthy beginning and it
seems an opportune time to enlarge and
extend the work.

sets an immense crop of little, thin
shelled nuts of excellent flavor. They
are too small for general commercial
uses, but meet demand in the manu-
facture of fancy confectionery They
make an excellent fattening food for
hogs, which may be pastured on the land
after the tops are cut and allowed to root
out the nuts for themselves.
The Spanish peanut natures so quick
ly in comparison with other kinds that
it may be grown as q garden plant in
most northern states, with fair chance
of good yields. They should be planted
preferably in light soil in rows like bush
beans, and require about the same cul-
ture. The foliage is neat, and the numer-
GUS bright yellow blooms are very pretty.
Frequent stirring of the soil is benefi-
cial in promoting growth and in en-
abling the embryo nuts to bury them
selves in the soil in the natural way.
The nuts are very sweet and pleasant
when properly roasted, and are partic-
ularly good keepers. We have held them
over two years in an ordinarycellar with
no apparent deterioration in flavor.
Commercial peanuts are of larger
type, averaging more than double the
size of the Spanish kind. The shells
are large and long, often containing
three kernels or peas. Every effort is
made in curing these nuts to retain the
fresh, bright straw color they have
when taken from the soil.
The large nuts in the figure are sent

In planting strawberry bed, there
is one important point to remember,
that strawberry plants are of two
kinds-pistillate and bisexual, says an
eastern strawberry grower. The BIZ
sexual plant has a perfect flower, and
will produce fruit of its own accord,
but the pistillate plant has an imper-
feet flower, and unless it becomes fer
tilted by the pollen from some of the
strong staminate varieties. will not
produce fruit. A great many failures
have been experienced on account of
people not being aware of this deficien-
cy in some kinds of plants. Ten years
ago all of our best varieties were of
the pistillate sort, and we I'D to use
them. but since then a lot OF Aew va
rieties have been introduced. the ma
jority of which are bisexual -arieties,
so that at the present time we have no
need to p,srt pistillate varieties.
