Iowa's Immense Crops.

Iowa farmers produced this year
crops to the value of $500, 2SG,212.
The corn crop aggregated 1851, $40
bushels.
The value of the corn crop was S121,-
O55, IA.
The corn crop is S16,S00 bushels
greater than ever before.
Tie oats crop aggregates LAG, 1879, 24O
bushels.
The value of the oats crop is 1886,
6O9,s1O.
The Iowa corn crop aggregates 345,-
81 $40 bushels. This is the figure given
by John r. Sage, director of the Iowa
crop and weather service in his annual
report for 1905. He computes that at
the average price of 80 cents per bushel,
which was the prevailing price of corn
on Dec. l., the value of the Iowa corn
crop is $121, 055,144. The oats crop is
the next largest, with total aggregate
of about 146,439,24O bushels. The total
year is over S300,0OO,OOO.
Mr.. Sage shows that the figures and
the crops he has reported do not show
the full value of Iowa farm products in
that the value of pasturage to cattle is
not shown and no way is open for a
person to make showing. No account
is made of the increment derived from
the consumption of these staple crops
on the farm.
The figures on the corn crop show an
increase over all previous crops OF
nearly 100000 bushels. This increase
is vastly greater than was the increase
OF last year over the year preceding.

HoMEsPuN CANDIES


Homespun Candies" is the attractive
title of a little pamphlet by Annie NJ
Jones (Rohde & Haslxins, No. 16 Cort-
landt street. New York city,. In all
there are twenty four simple and
thoroughly tested recipes for candy to
be made at home" among them many
favorites, old and not so old.
One recipe is for nut glace. Here
it is:
To "glace'' nuts and certain kinds of
fruit nothing is needed but sugar and
water and a little patience. Boil pound
OF sugar with a gill of water until it
syrup, one at time, dipping them out
with a buttered fork and dropping them
on buttered tin to dry. Care must be
taken not to shake the syrup more than
necessary, and 1t is necessary to work
rapidly, as the syrup should be removed
from the fire before the nuts or fruits are
dipped, and it soon hardens A teaspoon
fui of vinegar added to 1t makes a cfisper
glaze, A second dipping after the first
coat hardenS greatly improves the appear
ance of the candy. 1t should be eaten
freSh as 1T soon becomes sticky with
changes In the atmosphere.
And here is recipe for coffee
creams:
Boil together half a cup of strong cof-
zee and two cups OF sugar until sthe syrup
strings when it drips from spoon. Re-
move from the fire and beat hard until it
is creamy. Stir III a cupfuI of chopped
nuts and pour into a shallow buttered tin
to cool. Cut into squares after it is quite
cold. sS544
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-03

Among the newest models of coffee
jackets and matinees are several quite
original examples that are especially at
tractiye. One of the prettiest is shown by
sketch 2 of the accompanying illustration.
1t is made of pink louisine lined with In
dia silk of the same shade and is cut
loose and full There is a short, square,
yoke to which the full fronts and back
are gathered that insures the proper set
of the matinee and which is entirely con-
cealed by band collar of the silk The
bottom of the jacket as well as the collar
and lower edge of the flowing, pointed
sleeves are cut in scallops and hand en-
broidered with English eyelet work and
underneath the scallops is sewed. a full
ruff1e of repousse lace. Another new model
is made with dolman sleeves cut in one
with the back of the jacket, which is
tight fitting, but open in front so that the
arms have perfect freedom. This jacket
reaches to below the hips and is trimmed
with bands Of Valenciennes IaceS Some of
the new matinees are very long, reaching
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-03

nearly to the knees. and while they are
perhaps the smartest variety because they
are the least usual they are not as popu-
lar as the short, jaunty ones that are so
essentially feminine that they appeal to
the fancy of every woman. One charming
model of this style, however, is worthy of
note. 1t is of light blue crepe de chine
made with plated back and curved
fronts that are draped across the bust
and open over an accordion plated front
of blue chiffon. The leeves are long and
loose and the neck is finished by a wide
collar elaborately trimmed with Valen-
ciennes lace. An extremely dainty short
matinee is illustrated by sketch No. 1.
1t is made with square tucked bolero
of white crepe de chine edged with wide
point de Venise insertion to which is gath
cred deep founce of applique lace ar
ranged in a jabot in front The elbow
sleeves are also of the tucked crepe inset
with the insertion and finished with full
ruffies of applique lace. Under this is worn
a full blouse of white chiffon with crush
girdle Of soft mauve satin ribbon.

LARGE FIGURES OF THE EouITA-
BILE

When one glances over the figures
in the Equitable Life's preliminary
statement, as published today, he is
impressed with the magnitude of the
society's operations, and its unparal-
Ieled financial strength. The assets
amount to $410, 600, 900, the liabilities to
1892, COO, ,000, leaving a surplus for pol
icyholders of $78, ,000, 900. This fund is
larger than at any time in the previous
history Of the company. All the items
are larger than ever before. The OUT
standing assurance amounts to 81, ,500,-
100000, and the income of $78,000,000,
and total payments to policyholders
aggregating $37,0o0,000, surpass In
magnitude any sums previously re-
ported for those items. The success Of
the society is a tribute to the agents
and to those in charge of the business
for their faithful observance Of the
principles which have, from its organ
ization, been the watchwords of the
company-coHservat and strength.
The amount paid in dividends to
policyholders was larger than during
any previous year in the society's his
tory.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM

In the sale of the Roslyn jewels in
London a few days ago figured the
name of Mrs. Elizabeth Brent as. the
purchaser. In many ways she is the
most remarkable American widow in
Great Britain. She has her town and
country houses, liveried servants and
has a fad for horses with pedigreese
