on the prosaic ground of desertion.
Mrs. Jones reused crowded audience
before Judge Kavanaugh to great
laughter. She said that her husband
paid more attention to his hares than
he did to herself. She wanted his az

of 1t was for his pets. The witness
was sure that the hares alone offered
good grounds for divorce But II

The proper behavior for carrots,
onions and other plants of similar
nature Is TO put in their time at grow
las during the first summer. Seed
growing should be reserved till the
second year, when the roots that are
found worthy may be given chance
If II Is desired. Now and then some
root will go to seed the first year.
Such seed is not desirable for planting,
as it is the result of tendency to de-
generate. A crop raised from it would
show a still stronger propensity in that
direction till it would become an an
nual. which would not be wanted.
With some plants this tendency is very
strong and must be continually guard
ed against by the seed grower. They
seem never to be satisfied with civili-
Zation and are continually lapsing to-
ward their wild state. Back to ma
ture" is the cry of those who advocate
a return from the city to the country.

wanted for plants. - National Fruit

The light and white cloth costumes

again in fashion this season, and, if
possible, are more elaborate than ever.
Short boleros of caracul dyed to

a novelty.
A ravishing bolero is Of chinchilla,

much below the elbow with band

In Paris now the furriers reign.
Their word is law and their products

the garments they make are graceful

ular fad, and the contrast of the two
materials Is certainly most effective.

When the business woman gets home
at night she IS tired and hot from her
days work. 1t may be her custom to
sit down at once to her evening meal,
| and shortly after retire for bath and
bed, feeling too worn out to spend the
evening in any relaxation or amuse-
ment.
Yet after a day in Office or store she
needs the diversion of a little amuse-
ment, and this would be possible, even
after hard day, if she followed the
plan of resting, bathing and changing
her clothing Immediately on going
home.
Say she gets home at or $50. One
hour later she can feel like new per-
son by following out this routine.
The first thing to do on getting home
is to remove all clothing worn during
the day and hang it to air for morning.
The next thing is bath, and this
should be tepid as cold water will not
remove the heat and perspiration of the
day, and hot water is too exhausting.
Stay in the tub ten minutes. Then
slip on night dress, let the hair down,
braid it loosely, and lie at full length
on the bed for fifteen minutes.
During this resting period the nerves
should be relaxed, the eyes closed and
all worrying thought banished. If con-
sciousness is lost, so much the better.
At the end of this time get up and
rub the body gently with alcohol or
any toilet water, patting it gently, so
as not to increase circulation and over
heat. Then dress slowly, putting on
entirely different garments from those
used during the day. This can be
managed without extravaganza by
keeping two sets of underclothing out,
using one for day wear and one for
evening; the following week take the
evening set for day and get fresh set
out for evening. In this way one set
a week need be sent to the laundry,
although in hot weather the possession
Of plenty of underwear and frequent
changes is an extravaganza well worth
while.
Put on different shoes and stockings
from those worn during the day, and
a pretty frock.
And by this time, which need not be
an hour from the time you came home,
you will feel refreshed and ready for
an enjoyable evening. Instead of 60
| ing to the evening meal hot and
dragged out and cross, you will be cool
and almost as fresh as if the day had

In few instances we hear that alf-
afa hay when dried is cut in short
bits by the cutter and then run through
the corn mill and made into meal which
is mixed with cOrnmeal and so fed to
hogs, the reason for this being that
hogs not used to alfalfa will, not eat
II readily when only cut, but will when
mixed with cornmeal. 1t is stated that
an experiment in which ground alfalfa
cut in half-inch lengths for fattening
pigs was recently made by the Color
ado Experiment Station. 1t required
All pounds of corn and alfalfa mixed
at the rate of three pounds of corn to
one of alfalfa to produce one pound of
gain. while 4.S1 pounds of corn and
ground alfalfa mixed in the proportion.
of three parts of corn TO one of alfalfa
were eaten for one pound of gain, not
counting labor.
With cut alfalfa costing IS ton and
ground alfalfa SIG ton, the cost of
producing 100 pounds of gain with the
former was S2.62 and with the ground
alfalfa S312. With corn and cut alf-
alfa fed in equal parts by weight, the
cost of producing 100 pounds of gain
was S2.T2. With corn and Ground alf-
alfa fed in equal parts by weight the
cost was Sj96.
These results go to show that at the
prices quoted alfalfa is more eConomi-
cal to feed than ground alfalfa, and

ThnCy bOicfOs
Boleros of all sorts and all shapes are
to be noted upon the more elaborate in
door gowns Of the season. as well as
the costumes for street wear, and make
exceedingly chic and charming effects.
In the Illustration are shown two
equally desirable but quite different
sorts, both Of which allow a choice of
sleeves or no sleeves. Number one as
illustrated is made of heavy faille
with trimming of Oriental banding, but
the model is a favorite one for the
very beautiful Mandarin embroideries,
for silk and velvet embroidered with
silver and gold threads, as well as for
plain materials, so that it fills many
needs. Number two is shown in baby
Irish crochet, but it also is adapted to
all the materials that are used for little
jackets Of the sort. Lace is always
pretty and attractive for dressy Occa-
sions, but some of the embroidered
and palette materials make exceeding
= ,legant effects.
Number one is made with fronts and
back, fitted by means of shoulder and
under-arm seams, but number two is
cut in one piece, the fronts being turned
over to form the revers.

Buying an Axe.

The essential points in good axe
are W good quality of steel in blade
and well and evenly tempered; (2) pro-
per shape in the blade so as to get the
best results for the force used; 90 the
poll or back to be smooth and made of
the right weight that the balance of
the axe is right when swinging; az the
weight of the axe to ne in proper pro-
portion TO the worker and user; (5)
that the blade is fitted with suitable
handle. BY suitable handle is meant:
az one that has the grain the right
way; (2) one that is the right shape
and thickness. For the first we saw
in the description of wood what this
should be and why so.
Right grain is very important in an
axe handle for two reasons: First. if
you break it, as you generally do, at
work, you may have to go miles for a
new one. and when got lose lot of
time taking the remains out and put

The Maintenance Ration.

The Wisconsin station has made
some interesting experiments which
seem to show that the maintenance ra-
ton may vary with the age of the ami
NAL conditions of shelter. care, etc.
This experiment deals with mature

average maintenance ration of the
pure bred sows of the weight given.
Now, with the scrubs, it was some

were four razorback sows. averaging
226 pounds. They ate an average of

Shoes That Creak.

A good many children's shoes (after
they have had unwary but intimate
knowledge of the contents of alluring
puddles) have way of creaking that
is absolutely maddening.
No one ought to be forced to listen
to 1t when the remedy is so simple.
The cause lies in the rubbing of the
inner sole against the outer, and the
wetting may cause one to shrink so
that this rubbing is an inevitable fol-
lowing.
Take a large plate or a platter and
pour just enough oil on it TO cover the
bottom well. Then stand the shoes
with their heels propped so that the
sole of the shoe rests in the oil. Let
them stand over night, and in the
morning wipe off any excess of oil
there may be. If you are careful to
let the oil only barely cover the bottom
of the plate the shoes will probably
absorb all the oil and be seemingly as
dry as when you put them in. If you
put too much oil the leather may be
greasy. Then the shoes should not be
worn for a day or two until the oil
has had time to sink in thoroughly, or
it will make ugly spots upon rugs and
carpets.
But the treatment, simple though it
is, is effective, and the squeak" will,
