worn, even the earliest furs showing
great punches of tulle caught on by
jeweled ornaments.
Yelling the flowers and ribbon trim
mings in hats is quite a feature at pres
ent. The yelling is usually the color
of the hat itself, or of a tint to har-
monte with the foliage.
Blue is even more popular than
brown, although less noticeably so, be-
cause of the peculiar staple position it
enjoys, and plaids-odd editions Of
Scotch plaids, rendered even more so
Der than the soberest of them usually
is-are in daily requisition.
White felt hats are pretty for au
tumn. One imported hat has the brim
cut to a point back and front, with an
outstanding green ribbon, yelled in green
net around the crown, with green wings
on one side. The bandeau beneath is
also covered with green loops.
A feature Of the new black is that
much of it is embroidered in heavy
serges as we'll as fine henriettas and
silk-and-wool eOliennes show silk en-
broidered figures, rings and dots scat
tered over the surface at somewhat
wide intervals. Charming voiles are
seen with openwork silk figures that
give a very novel touch.

The steam plough has become a ia
m;liar object in western Kansas. Man
ayers of the big implement houses say
hat about 600 are in use on the western
and central Kanas plains wherever the
fields are large enough and the ground
level enough to permit their operation.
All through the western portions of the
wheat belt big traction engines, with wheel
tires nearly a yard wide, are at work
pulling the gang ploughs and turning up
the soil at the rate of 30 acres a day,
with two men working each outfit. These
two men, working in the old way, could
plough only about six acres a day, so that
the steam plough has increased the eff
cheney of labor fivefold in this one charac-
ter of farm work.
These outfits cost about $1,000, but
the expense of ploughing averages only
about 40 cents an acre, as compared with
an expense of 20 cents to $3.50 an acre
where the work is done by man with a
team. Therefore a farmer who owns 1000
acres of wheat land can save enough in
few years to pay for steam plough.
The rush to get the fall ploughing
finished while the ground is in good con-
dition has prompted some farmers to run
their steam ploughs at night, with a great
glaring headlight cleaning across the
ields, as well as in the daytime.
