keeping Up Fertility.

No question is of equal Importance
10 the farmer as not only keeping up
but increasing the fertility of the land.
During the summer months there is
generally an accumulation Of manure
about the COW or horse lot which can
not be disposed of to good advantage,
but which can be profitably used on
the pasture during the late summer
and early fall. 1t can be drawn out and
spread on the pasture where the land
is poorest and there is little or ~
evidence of grass, and it can be made
to do good work. 1t should be spre1d
as thinly as possible, and If lumpy On
coarse, should be run over with the
weeder or smoothing harrow to spread
these Jumps. This manure and the fall
rains form q combination which VIII
cause surprising growth OF grass t.
be started upon these thin places IN
the pasture. 1t may be little rsnl
at first, but the cows win soon become
accustomed to it and devour 1t with
relish. Good results will follow thi'
method any time during the fai
months, or until winter sets in.-South'

THE DIFFERENT PARTS.

panne or chiffon velvet The latter
would be particularly effective, espe-
eially If two shades we're employed.
Each of these strips, measuring about
nine inches wide, should be turned in
at the edges and tackled invisibly. They
should then be gathered at each end
and sewn transversely to the muff
from right to left with one shade, and
then should be threaded in and out in
the opposite direction with the other
shade.
Five strips of each would be needed.
Purple and mauve, or two shades o.
gray or green would look extremely
we'll; but if only one shade were pre-
ferred, brown, mouse or gray should
be selected. A frill of ribbon lined with
the other shade decided upon is then
sewn in. and peeping from beneath
this should be a frill of cream lace
the real old lace, if possible. but IL not
obtainable, then one of those varieties
which so cleverly initiate it. Finally
place in position the lining.
Materials required: Five yards rib
hon, four inches wide; two yards vel
vet, on the cross; two and half yards
lace, one-half yard pongee for lining.

INTERRUPTED DEATH SCENE
"Little Eva" Displayed Her Versa
tility Before Taking Final
Flight.

The introduction of songs and dances
into plays in which they have no legiti
mate place is not new practice by any
means. 1t dates back to much earlier
days of the drama. And there have been
instances when the interpretations were
of somewhat startling sort. A number
of well-known actors were discussing this
subject when one Of the oldest OF the
party said: Boys, let me tell you that
the tendency is not new one. 1t is
elder than most of you, and no exam
pic of it that have seen lately has
been as startling as a case saw in
southern Illinois years ago. We were
out with a one-night-stand piece, and
after long jump had landed in q small
town very tired and very anxious for ex-
citement. The manager told US that
there would be no afternoon rehearsal,
Is an Uncle Toms Cabin company had
the house for a farewell matinee. Thu
was just what we were looking for, and
decided to attend in body. The show
Pre- ceeded in tbs usual way Up - : Little
Eva's death-be scene. I see Z great
light, and angels, all singing, says little
Eva. Tell me what dey be singn'
honey says Uncle Tom. Then little Eve
descended from her deathbed and exc
cuted as lively song and dance as one
could ask for. When she had finished
ard acknowledged the thunderous ap.
rlause of the audience, she returned to
her couch and the death scene con
tinued."

SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS.
What Constitutes the Ideal Hostess
and About the Proper Selection
of Dinner Guests.

The ideal hostess VIII possibly differ
from the points of view of different
minds, but she who comes nearest to
satisfying every taste will cause all
guests to feel at ease and perfectly at
home while in her house. She must
possess great tact and endeavor to
make each one feel individually the IA
vored guest. She must be quick to see
everything while seeming to see moth
ing, never looking bored and keeping
the conversational ball rolling without
any apparent effort or even seeming to
do SO. Al ideal hostess must be en-
tirely unselfish and let no one be
sighted or overlooked.
Now that vacation days are over and
the world has returned from the sum-
mer outing which has possibly been
spent in the woods or where much free
dom in behavior is allowed, be careful
to modulate the voice and tone down
actions to fit city life and customs.
No right-thinking mother wishes her
son to choose boisterous, fiippant
wife, SO be careful that your love OF
fun and the summers freedom do not
lead you too far As we have so often

Business Strain.

The Chicago board of health has
compiled some interesting statistics
which show that deaths from nervous
disorders have materially decreased
In the Windy City of late years. This
Is not at all because the business pace
has slackened or because we are less
burdened with affairs, declares the Sat
urday Evening Post. 1t is because golt
and country clubs have come into
vogue, and, as rule, business men
are conducting themselves more sensi-
bly, when away from their desks. The
dragon of overwork, which is repre-
scented as annually devouring the flow
err of our commercial manhood in the
great centers, Is in sober fact hardly
more deadly than his papier-mache
brother In the opera of Siegfried.
Ninety-nine times out of hundred 1t
isn't what you do when in the Office, but
what you do when away from 1t, that
determines the state of your nervous
system. The bartender and other
servitors of the lower nature could
throw great flood of light on those
horrifying stories about the devasta-
ton wrought by business strain. Not
long ago the builder of large COM
mercial enterprise was gathered to his
fathers in middle age and in very
shattered condition. The fact fur
nished text for various preachments
about the deadliness of modern bust
ness--in which, however, no mention
was made of the two pints of whisky,
the 20 black cigars and the several
hours devotion to the poker-table
which figured in the daily regimen OF
the deceased and which presumably
had something to do with the wreck
of his nerves.

FOR THE HOG RAISER.
The Demand for Light and Heavy
Hogs, When, Where and the
Reason why.

The demand for light and heavy
hogs. respectively, is partly influenced
by the character of the markets in the
different centers to which they are
shipped. Some of these call for q carr
cass so per cent. heavier than others.
Buffalo is credited with taking the
smallest class of carcasses and Boston
with taking the heaviest. But demand
for light and heavy hogs, respectively,
is also influenced by the season of the
year in which they reach the market.
Generally speaking, heavy hogs are
apt to be called for in winter and light
hogs in summer, and yet it would seem
correct to say that light hogs are more
msrously upon the market in the
winter and heavy hogs in the summer.
This arises from the fact probably that
tho heavy hogs are marketed in the
autumn, thus leaving room principally
for lighter hogs to come forward dur
ing the winter and early in the spring
months.
One reason, assigned by way of ex-
PLANTATION as to why light hogs are in
less demand in winter, is that at that
season many of the outlets for pork
from this class are closed on account
of home production Much of this pork
goes to Europe, also south and east.
and farmers in these places are apt.
in considerable degree, to supply
themselves in winter.
One principal reason why heavy hogs
are more in demand in winter than in
summer is because it is the packing
season. This means that it is the sea-
son when such meats as mess pork, dry
and salt sides, rough sides, short SIDES
short rib sides and all bellies are pre-
pared as stated in press bulletin is
sued from the illinois station. These
are prepared at that season because
they can be stored for some time with
out spelling.
1t is worth while, therefore, to study
market conditions. Results are thu
most satisfactory when the market Il
supplied with what it wants and at thu
proper time If.heavy hogs can be used
by the packers in the winter, thi'
proves that they should be supplied. L
light hogs are wanted for summer
which is also true. then the aim o
the grower should be to supply suci
hogs at that season of the year.-

There Is Still Room.

Charles M Schwab's reply to the
declaration Of Prof. Nathaniel Butle'
that the day OF the self-made man Is
over Is valuable as coming from one
who. having made his own way in the
world, Is as we'll informed on condi-
tions existing to-day as any man in
the country. Mr.. Schwab, comments
the Detroit Free Press, takes strong
exceptions 10 such a statement, insist
Ing that opportunities for young men
were never more plentiful, and that
there is every chance for the one de-
termined to come to the front to win
success. A glance at the situation
lends color to Mr.. Schwab's argument.
There Is growing tendency to decry
the limitations which corporations
place about individual effort and the
difficulty experienced by those de-
prived Of extended educational adj
vantages in gaining recognition when
pitted against more fortunate mdivid-
uals. AS a matter OF fact, there never
was a time when merit commanded the
compensation it now receives. Cor
porations are reaching out for bright
young men and paying well for their
services when they find them. Chances
for advancement are as numerous as
ever, in spite of the increased exac-
lions imposed by the requirements oil
modern commercial life. The young
man made of the right stuff will come
TO the front if Ire asserts himself.
The one disinclined to exert himself
will continue to remain in the back
ground and lament the lack Of oppor-
tunity. 1t has always been So and
will continue to be, the assertions OF
Prof. Butler and others of his class
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
