HIGH-HEELED SHOES,

Woe to the young women who are
wearing high-heeled shoes. The tor
ture to follow this practice cannot be
imagined by the one who has been for.
tunat. enough never to have had any
trouble with her feet. The feet are
certain to swell after high-heeled shoes
have been worn for time, and If the
young women are able to get shoes
which they can wear without torturing
themselves almost to death they are
extremely fortunate, says an exchange.
The women, however, who will per-
sist in wearing these French high
heeled shoes, should give their feet
some attention at night, and before
putting the shoes on. The woman who
is obliged to limp along with every
step on these bright sunshiny days, is
not to be envled. The warm weather
means positive torture to the ones
whose pedal extremities are forced to
wear unhealthy shoes. The feet be-
come puffy and every corn becomes en-
dowed with a tendency to develop un-
expected twinges and aches, while no
shoes can be found that is flexible or
soft enough to be worn with any COM
fort.
Women should be very careful in the
selection of hosiery. Women whose
feet are extremely tender should never
choose black hose, for the dye acts
upon the skin. If colored hosiery must
be worn, white feet should be insisted
upon. Shoes should be carefully
chosen. Everything in the shape Of
patent, glazed or enameled leather
should be avoided and instead other
feathers selected that do not in any
way draw or cause n feeling Of puff
ness. The hosiery must, Of course. be
fresh each day, and at least three
pairs of walking boots will be found
Of great advantage as in changing off
from one to the other the feet will be
rested
A busting powder will be great aid.
This should be shaken in both shoes
and stockings each morning. Just
little is necessary and it will prove
most effective. This powder is made
by adding to four ounces Of pure tai
cum. one ounce of powdered boracic
acid, one-half dram of salycllic acid
and two drains Of powdered alum. Pos
sibly in connection with the use Of
this powder, tonic in the form Of the
lotion should be applied each night.
The feet must first be bathed in very
warm water and then sponged off
with cold.
Every woman should take good care
of her feet If she wishes to be half
way comfortable.

Depth 10 PlOw For Corn.


farmer inquired of the Practical
Farmer in regard to the proper depth
to plow for corn, and was told by T.
b. Terry that the answer depends upon
circumstances. If one is plowing new,
deep, fertile soil that is in sod for
corn, shallow turning may be all right.
The rich prairies of the West were
always plowed shallow at first. If
plowing land where the soil is thin,
say not more than four or five inches
deep. and under it is hard clay, deep
plowing all at, once would probably be
a serious injury to the corn crop fol-
lowing. Corn is sun plant and likes
to feed near the surface largely. On
sandy land, where the subsoil is loose
and sandy, it may not be best to turn
under sod for corn more than about
fye or six inches deep. The subsoil
is mellow and one is not likely to gain
much by working it deeply. But on
ordinary land, where the subsoil has
more or less clay in it, and the soil is
waning in fertility, 1 think careful;
system of deepening the plowing grad
ually will always be of advantage for
corn as well as other farm crops. This
where the farmer pays attention to
rotation and to furnishing his soil
abundantly with vegetable matter. The
result will be particularly helpful in
dry seasons. l know men, widely scat.
tered over the country, who have
grown large corn crops under these cir
cumstances where the land was plowed
some eight inches deep, while shallow
plowers met with partial failure. 1t
is hard to tell exactly to what farmer
owes large crop sometimes; but COM
mon sense would indicate that a good,
fertile seed bed eight inches deep would
enable one to carry crop through
dry time better than he could in bed
four inches deep. One has to stir about
two inches of surface anyway. With
the shallow plowing only two inches
are left of the soil for roots. With the
deep plowing six inches are left. But
this refers TO land where the subsoil
is hard and clayed. Quite likely these
old successful farmers were right. as
their soil was when they began farm
ing. There may be deep, mellow, rich
soils where they would be right now
But l feel sure there are few of these
farms now where deeper plowing. un.
der proper management would not
show better results. When the land
was new and rich, one could skim it
over and prosper. l do not believe it
can be done now, generally.
The demand for girls for general
housework in Chicago is much larger
than the supply.

AIsilse or Rcd Clover, whiche

A Northern reader asks the Prairie
Farmer which is ;he best to sow for
hay, alsike or red clover to which the
reply was made that very much de-
pends upon circumstances. For SOW
ing alone the red clover has a distnc-
tive advantage over the alsike in that
the latter falls down much worse than
the red clover and is difficult to har
vest. If timothy or some other stiff
strawed plant is to be sown with the
clover this objection will be removed.
The alsike is better adapted to mix
ing with timothy on account of ripen-
ing nearer with the timothy than does
the medium red clover. Alsike is also
better adapted to low lands that are
inclined to be little wet, as 1t will
stand much more adversely in this o.

CHEAP COOKIES.

Cream half a cup Of butter or short
ening with one cup of sugar. Stir in
half cup Of sour milk in which a
third of teaspoonful of soda has been
dissolved. Spice the mixture to suit
the taste, and sift in enough flour to
make the batter rather stiff. Roll the
dough out OH floured board until 1t is
of wafer-like thinness. Cut it out with
a large biscuit cutter into cookies or
waters and bake until brown and crisp.
These 'eggless' sugar cookies can be
favored with lemon o. nuts or choco-
late instead of the spices. The school
children will appreciate them in their
luncheon baskets.

That men are not always the noble

Daintles For Swine.

A year ago it was noticed that the
swine were roofing too deep into the
soil in their yards and there was dan
ger of wallows, So Il space near the
orchard was fenced off where the swine
might have some grass and shade
while their permanent home was re-
paired. Our ten-year-old boy got in
the habit of filling 4 small peach basket
with the green tops from the early
vegetables and with pea pods and feed
ing these to the pigs daily, although
they had grass in plenty. One day he
got lot of broken rieces of sod in the
basket, and was quite amazed to see
the animals leave the grass and the
vegetable tops to eat the small bits of
sod earth and all.
The swine yard vas repaired by fax
ing out a foot of col and filling in the
space with gravel, grading all away
from the centre to a gutter on the out
side of the fence. Then the hogs were
put back in their yard and the rest of
the summer had basketful of broken
sod at least once q week in addition
to grass cut for them and the vegetable
tops. Never was there a more healthy
lot of animals than these and never be-
fore had or sows gone through the
pig-dropping season in better shape,
nor did we ever have such strong,
healthy pigs. Nothing more is needed
to convince our people that swine, as
well as other animals, appreciate vGri-
best digestives ves-Indianapolis News.

Now, you just pin a single white or

You can wear an orchid, scarlet
dahlia, or rose in the same manner,

appears.
In the evening it is no longer the
fashion to carry huge punches or
shower bouquets of roses. A single
flower. carried in the hand, is the fad.
When affected by naturally graceful
woman, is is the acme of grace. One
need no longer sit stiffly holding ones
lists together in an effort to retain ones
bouquet, but can gesticulste and use
the single flower to emphasize ones
every thought. 1t is boon to the
woman who does not know what to dc

A Western poultryman writes of dip
ping hens as follows: Make very
strong suds with any good soap. Keep
the suds warm enough to be comforta-
BILE to bear the hands in. One person
takes the chicken by the feet in one
hand and the neck in the other hand
and immerses Mr.. or Mrs. Chicken, as
the case may be, back downwards into
the suds, then moves them back and
forth, holding the head up out of the
suds, while an assistant rubs the pa.
tient and raises the feathers to get the
suds to every part of the body.
Then raise the feathers on the head
and neck and wash with the suds;
squeeze out as much Of the suds as you
can from the feathers. If the weather
is quite warm and sunny, let the chick
ems go, but If the least bit windy or
chilly, put them in a warm place to
dry. Two or three minutes of work
with each fowl in the suds should do
the business. But remember success
depends upon thoroughness, so be sure
the work is well done.

the top of the head and back of the

FLOWERS IN HAT TRIMMINGS.

Fur toques will be worn extensively
this winter and Dame Fashion decrees
that stiff flowers on velvet and crushed
velvet will be the most fashionable
trimming for them. OF course, fur
hats are always small and plumes and
such like are not quite in place on
many of them. Flowers in winter are
a pretty fad at any rate, and since the
manufacturers are making such pretty
effects they are so very realistic. Ca
melias, gardenias and stiff petaled fow-
ers are the most popular. Sometimes
only one is worn. If it is of large
size. Sable hats are the handsomest
and most expensive, and they look
very well trimmed with flowers of a
pronounced shade. Violets make hand
some designs, and ma1y of the punches
are shaded from heliotrope to the
deepest purple. A swagger model of
