Repairing Clothes

4 T IS very difficult this time of year
\ to make winter clothing last until
more settled weather permits a
change to lighter raiment. 1t is Won
derful to note how shabby the suits
look which we thought had kept their
freshness remarkably we'll after a long
winters wear. But wear them once
into a shop where there are displayed
new suits and hats, and behold! what
looked so we'll has suddenly grown old
and shabby among the bright new fab
RIGS.
But it is almost too soon to don
spring finery, even if the new suit. is
ready to wear. The new suit, which
looked SO fresh, will lose it's newness
before the majority of people have ap-
peared in theirs, if worn when pave
ments are sloppy and weather uncer-
tain. Therefore, the necessity arises
for fixing up" something to do for
the present, and a hasty glance at the
now despised winter costume shows that
it is much in need of repair, and the
task seems hopeless. But it is surpris-
ing to see how wonderfully improved
a well-worn garment will be by few
iudicious touches. First, try good
brushing with a stiff clothes brush, not
a soft, inadequate affair, but a good,
firm bristled whisk. Do not give a
few dabs here and there; shake the
skirt and coat out Of a convenient win
dow and then, laying them on the sill,
SO that the loosened dust will not fly
back into the room, whisk we'll, pay
ing particular attention to the cracks
of the seams, the under side Of the
skirt hem and the cuffs and button
holes on the coat.

ly and needs little explanation. Two
rings an inch or more In diameter and
two straps with strong buckles are
needed.
The strap should be wide enough so
that 1t will not cut the legs of the hog.
Place one Of the straps over the front
leg, after placing the ring in position,
and the other over the hind leg on the
same side. Be sure and buckle the
straps tight enough so that they will
not come Off. Then take a strong rope

Hauling Manure to FieId.

While 1t is admittedly the better plan
to get the manure to the fields as soon
after 1t Is made as possible, the plan
has its greatest value when the manure
is spread as soon as placed on the soil
that is, do not put 1t In heaps to
spread at some later period, but, If pos
sIble, load 1t from the stable directly
into spreader, SO that us soon as It
reaches the field 1t can be put on the
soil, where 1t will leach In during the
winter. The idea Of cartlng the manure
direct to the field is to have 1t Inn
proving the soil instead of letting a
portion of It's virtue go into the air, as
Is the case when 1t lays In the barnyard

There Is no doubt but that 1t can be
