LONG SLEEVES IN VOGUE AGAIN


NEW YORK, October 4, 1906.
Street styles for young girls seem very
closely related to the costumes trottoir their
mammas are wearing. The box or side
pleated or smartly gored skirts are shade
shorter the Elton or bolero jackets or cape
bodice effect shade less trimmed. But
fundamentally the trg little frocks are the
same-the identical odd mushroom walking
hats often accompanying them. But 1t is
the mamma who copies her daughter of
course, for to be genuinely the thing the
best gowns must affect this simple youth
fitness.
With hats It is different, and with these
girls from sixteen up are only too often
precocious. for burdensome trimmings and
coquettish woman-shapes are her privilege.
Mothers who have any say in the matter
and know the fitness of things wisely taboo
these sophisticated headpieces, for certainly
ostrich feathers. massed bows and full
blown roses do not add to the freSh charm
of sweet sixteen.
When it comes to party frocks or those
for specially dressy functions young girls
STYLES are perfect, for then childish frills
sweetly simple little bertha effects and
sashes have full play.
There is Great Variety.
To get up a proper girl wardrobe at any
time of the year is q far easier matter
than formerly. All Of the big shops cater
to maiden ages. and since measure of
about often that misses styles are more
generally desirable than any others. Just

Mr.. a. c. Barnett, proprietor Of a
general store in Award, Oklahoma,
tells in the following grateful letter
how Cuticura cured his son Of q ter
rible eczema: My little boy had
eczema. His head was one solid sore,
all over his scalp; his hair all came
out, and he suffered very much. l
had a physician treat him, but at the
end Of three months he was no better.
l remembered that the Cuticura Rene
dies had cured me, and after giving
him two bottles of Cuticura Resolv-
ent, according to directions. and using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him
daily, his eczema left him, his hair
grew again, and he has never had any
eczema since. We use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, and they keep our
skin soft and healthy. l cheerfully
recommend the Cuticura Remedies for
all cases of eczema. A. C. Barnett,

a HOME MADE MILK COOLER.

1t is not an easy task for those who nave
but a small quantity of milk to care for to
20 it with economy. The large cooSng
tanks or refrigerators which dairymen on
h large scale can afford are not for the
man with the single can hence he must
resort to some plan on the homemade
idea. Take a box, which may be bought
at any store for 4 low price, high enough
to contain a barrel Of good dimensions.
Till in the bottom OF the box several
snches deep with saw0ust and on this set a
barrel cut down SO that when a milk can

HOG PEN

While the cement floor may be the ideal
one for the hog pen as claimed by many
swine breeders, our experience has been
that the floor of earth, If it is Of clay and
gravel will ansWer the purpose equally
we'll with a mall number Of swine If
we had large herds We should certainly
use cement which can be applied at any
time with the earth floor as a foundation.
The one floor which ought not to be used
is that of plank and the reasons are
obvious to every one who keeps swine.
They are cold, wet and slippery, retain
doors and are expensive besides being bad
for the feet of the hogs. In making the
floor for the hog pen, and we nave the
same sort of a floor for the yard, it is
made by taking out the soil for the depth
Of three feet filling in a foot deep with
coal ashes well packed down and then put
ting on the two feet of soil about evenly
composed of clay and gravel using the
gravel which comes from a heavy or
clayey soil If possible; If sand gravel, as
it is sometimes called, is all that can be
obtained, the sand IS screened out and the
gravel mixed with the clay in the proper
ton of two parts OF clay to one of gravel.
By giving this floor the proper slope both
in the pen and in the yard 1t does not stay
wet long and is so hard the hogs can not
dig in it while being yielding enough so that
they do not slip on it and the under strata
of ashes carries off the moisture which
penetrateS through.

BEING INDEPENDENT OF DRY
WEATHER.

It is much easier for one to be independ-
ent of dry weather han of wet unless the
soil is naturally wet SO that it may be
pipe drained and thus get rid Of the ex-
cess,ve moisture. and this is an expensive
operation, but, notwithstanding, a most
desirable one in the end. Potato growers
are perhaps more interested in the prob
lem Of how to battle with dry weather
,han growers of any other crop, and under
normal conditions, the secret is simply to
see that the soil Is properly supplied with
humus or vegetable matter. It is folly, or
will be found SO after a few years., to at
:empt to grow potatoes on the same
ground year after year or to grow them
wholly by the aid Of commercial f%ertiliz-
YRS. Here is where 1t pays to make every
possible effort to grow clover for getting
heavy crops Of clover under the soil will
add the required humus which in conncc-
lion with first class seed. care and cultiva-
zion will enable one to grow heavy crops
Of potatoes In normal seasons and better
.han your neighbours in dry seasons. This
question of getting humus into the soil is
,ne that must be met ooner or later by
svery farmer and especially by those who
pin their faith very largely to commercial
fertilizers,

USE THE DUST MULCH.

Most Of the readers of this department
know something Of the Importance of the
so-called dust mulch during the season OF
cultivation although all do not fully real
ize what it would mean to them II they
would carry out the plan thoroughly. Most
of us who have to work the soil realize
the Importance of conserving the moisture
In it IN order that the plants may use it
during the periods OF excessively dry
weather, which are usual all through the
country. They understand too that a soil
allowed to remain unstirred, especially If
it is of a claycy nature, will dry and bake
and then crack; as a result the moisture
in the SOL is lost by evaporation. On the
other hand if the surface soil to the depth
of two or three inches is kept very fine, a
dust so TO speak, the capillary action on
top is destroyed and the water is re-
tanned in the soil so that the roots Of the
plant nave the benefit Of it. Any cult
waited crop treated in this manner can be
| readily improved, the crop be much larger
| and after all, the labor in raising 1t much
| reduced for the work necessary to retain
the dust mulch destroys the weeds so
| that we get the valuable dust with labor.

call the other worthless for so much de-
ponds upon conditions. We a two
large plantations of strawberries one OF
very light soil and the other on soil so
much heavier that few people would con-
slider it good strawberry soil. Strange
though it may seem we practice the hill
system on the light soil and the matted
row on the heavier soil and for these rea-
sons. The heavier soil is hard to culti-
vate to the extent necessary to carry out
the hill system SO we use the matted row
plan and say the cultivation by mulch
ing between the rows. 1t should be said
that this soil though heavy is well drained
else 1t would not do to mulch it for it
would keep it too wet. With the lighter
soil it is easy to cultivate and to hill the
plants and we find we get much larger
crops by this method while the reverse
lis the result with the hill system on the
heavier soil. We o pretend to know
why this IS so but it is. If one grows
but a small area of Strawberries and on
comparatively light soil we believe the
hill system will be found the most profit
able although it is something one should
experiment with and ascertain for hem
selves.

SOWING CRIMSON CLOVER.

Many who are having their first expert
ence with crimson clover make the mis-
take of sowing it In the spring usually
sowing 1t in with the rye; the idea is that
if this is done there will be a fairly good
crop to turn under in the fall. Possibly this
may work in some cases and some sections
although it Is not a safe proposition to
follow generally. BY far the better plan
would be to SOW the crimson clover seed in
July or August in some cultivated crop,
corn being the usual crop in which it is
sown. The result Of this plan would be
a good crop Of clover the following spring
in nine cases out of ten where the soil was
suited to the crimson clover. This plan
will not in any way interfere with the pro-
per cultivation of the corn or other crop
which will have ceased before the time for
! sowing The clover

USE GOOD TOOLS IN SPRAYING.

Those who do spraying on a consider
able scale fully realize the Importance of
the very best outfits for the purpose.
Those who have but little spraying to do
will find smaller implements which will
answer the purpose but will notice that
there is a great difference in the prices for
the same capacity implement. This differ
ence represents the difference between
something valuable and something made
to sell, the only value such latter imple-
ments have is for use in the small garden
where but a few trees or bushes are to be
sprayed. Better pay double the price
asked for the cheap sprayer and get some
thing that may be depended upon to do
the work properly and effectively and
which will not be worthless the first time
the metal comes in contact with the chem

PRESERVING EGGS BY WATER
GLASS.

Space has been given in this department
several times to the plan of preserving
eggs by the water glass process so that the
information need not be repeated. The
plan is far ahead of any other used in
preserving eggs but there are some details
which should be carefully observed if one
would gain the greatest amount of sue
cess. 1t is undoubtedly true that infertile
eggs, those lain by hens having no male
running with them, will keep longer by
any preserving process than will fertile
eggs. Then, the eggs should be perfect
as to shell and be placed in the preserva-
tive when absolutely fresh in order to keep
the most perfectly. A good plan is to
place in the preservative each morning the
eggs that were laid the day before. This
plan of preserving eggs ought to be tried
by all who live where eggs get very cheap
during the summer: there will be no trou-
BILE in selling the eggs in the fall and win
ter at a fair price but do not offer them as
fresh eggs, simply as properly preserved.

The same family as the Virginia creeper
Or American Ivy but is not so gross grow
ng in habit or form. The foliage is not
Unlike that Of the American Ivy but in
ymaller form and is much lighter in color
wen when mature. It grows rapidly
throwing out, at frequent intervals, small
Feet or tendrils having a sticky substance
attached by which 1t fastens itself to any
cough object, wood, stone or brick and
clings tenaciously. 1t IS a beautiful vine
to set at the foot of a dead tree from
which the branches have been removed
and is equally beautiful grown owe the
Eides Of a brick or stone building or stone
wall. 1t is practically hardy but not ever
green. In the fall the foliage takes on all
the various autumn hues of the maple
leaf. The plants are moderate in price,
grow rapidly and in a few years will add
much beauty to the farm grounds.

SWINE ON UNcLEARED GROUND.

one OF the best ways or raising logs DUR
ing the summer at small expense is to
provide them with a range near a portion
Of uncleared ground; that is, ground
which is more or less covered with trees,
underbrush and some vegetation in the
grass line. On such a range the swine will
nave all the grass needed, or, better, some
soWn grain for them to turn into pork, the
! woods for the shade and the underbrush to
nibble over and to act as back-scratchers.
In addition to this furnish them with the
needed amount of grain, plenty of water
and a few odds and ends in the way of
vegetables or an occasional Stop and they
| will grow in flesh and muscle; not SO much
| in flesh or fat, perhaps, but enough so that
they will be in excellent shape to fatten
in the fall when the proper time comes.
There is very little sense in turning the
| swine out on the ordinary cow pasture
| without furnishing them with additional
food and with shade and water; the hogs
need something besides grass and unless
thew have it thew will not thrive.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Oct. 20.-The Black Dia-
mond today says: 1.-THE coal trade
this week has been too busy to smile
The chilliness few days ago brought
in an avalanche of orders, which have
kept everyone hustling. The mellow
weather this week, however, has
somewhat retarded business but not
sufficient to make it generally percep-
tible to the trade. The market for
eastern Goals is particularly strong.
An increase in price of about twenty
five cents predominates. The west
ern products, however, are not char
acterized by the same degree of &C.
tiyity. 1t has been asserted that the
quotations this year are about two
weeks ahead of the prices last year
at this time. The principal reason
for the increase of course is due to
the car shortage which has not gen.
orally improved during the week.
Statesmen from the western,and north
western territory state that retailers
are more backward this year than
ever before in placing orders for win
ter supplies. The weakest point on
the market is on screenings but the
prices received, however, are some
what better than during tue last two
weeks"
