Lovely Hats.

Many hats are Of light delicately tint
ed plush lined with black plush, the
black next the face proving very be-
coming and bringing the hat into line
with the an black costume which is
now SO generally worn. One of the
newest shapes in toques is very small,
like an inverted saucer almost, the
round brim curving upward all round
and very high wing or wings placed
upright on the left for sole trimming.
This shape requires a full, we'll dressed
coiffura but Is extremely becoming
when well worn Violets are much
used on toques and hats as soon as

than vioiets as cache-peignes in clumps

and both toques and hats are ruched
round with vlolets or v1olets simulated
by silk petals.

HOSPITALITY.

We read much of the pleasant hospi-
tally of those who dwell in the south
land, and many are the references made
thereto by those who have travelled
there. Yet it was but the other day
that we heard a gentleman who had
been travelling through the north, and
whose own home was north of the Ma
son and Dixon line, say that hospitality
was a lost art in America. We don't
believe him, yet can clearly see his
point of view when he tells us that at
many of the farm homes where he stop
ped for drink or perchance a meal,
while driving across country, his recep-
ton was far from cordial, entirely lack
ing in any show of good feeling. Hos
pltality does not necessarily imply a
prodigal bestowal Of meals and lodging
free of charge to any stranger who may
come along, but it does call for obedi-
ence to the common rules of courtesy,
the willingness to give one, whether
your neighbor or a stranger, a cordial
greeting and lend a helping hand in
case of need. Show us your hospitable
man and we will show you an opti-
mist, a broad minded citizen, a good
neighbor. Show us a home where the
spirit Of hospitality prevails and we
will point out to you happy family
and harmonious home circle. He who
will practice this virtue will find his
own reWard-he will receive far more
than he can ever give.

THE MANURE sPREADER.

we nave never come across a man
who used manure spreader who did
not rate it as one of the most valuable
tools on the farm. Some way manure
applied with the spreader always be-
comes safe investment, bringing
quick and sure returns In no way
does its beneficial use become more
apparent than when the cornfield is
given a top dressing any time after it
is planted up to the time it is ten
inches high; this work done on the
places in the field where the soil is q
little thin and again where the meadow
is to be cut for hay top dressing Of
eight or ten loads an acre will produce
almost marvellous results. There are
some things which it is not best for q
farmer to go into debt for under any
circumstances, but any man can we'll
afford to pay 10 per cent for money
with which to buy manure spreader
Then to think that all through the
great west there are no end Of farms
where the owners are content with
thirty-fve bushels of corn to the acre
and right around their barns lie hun
dreds Of loads Of the most valuable
fertilizer to be had, rotting and leach
ing in the sun and rains! Such men
do not appreciate their opportunities
and privileges. They might easily dou-
BILE their corn crop by the exercise of
a little enterprise, work and manure

THE LADY COOK.

The Intelligent and skiIIfuI Cook
Needed Everywhere.
The old time idea that cooking is
drudgery and a work suitable to men
ials is now obsolete. The lady cook is
In demand. Modern cooking calls for
rare intelligence and that expert skill
which is gained only by practical ex-
perienca The modern cook needs to
be versed In bacteriology, physiology,
chemistry and sanitary science, yet it
Is safe to say few cooks have received
even a smattering of instruction in any
Of these subjects. Most women who
have had scientific training seem to
think they have been educated above
housekeeping, and hence they are likely
to make no practical use at all Of their
knowledge. There are chefs, or men
cooks, who receive salaries of $1,000 or
$4,000 a year. But where are the
women cooks who receive in compensa-
ton for service ore-nalf or one-fourth
Of these sums? The standard of cook
cry should be raised, and that, too, by
women, to that Of other kinds of skilled
labor. And the occupation calls for
something more than skilled labor; it is
well nigh profession.
Why Avoid HouseworIxG
Why do women seek to avoid the oc-
cupation of housekeeping, and especial
~ the Offices that center about the
kitchen? Why should they not rather
aspire to render the calling dignifed
and honorable? In all large towns
there ere young women In numbers
who are earning in shop and Office from
81 to So or So a week. With this
stipend they must pay living expenses,
and they are in constant anxiety about
steady employment. AS qualified cooks
many Of these same young women
might earn, at any rate save, more
money, and certainly they could always
find steady employment
It Is time the neat, the intelligent, the
skillful cook was everywhere abroad
In the land. She is needed Remunera-
tive business is within Der reach, places
are waiting for her, and, besides, liz
qualifying for these one Is making the
very best preparation to undertake wo-
mans highest calling in life.-Boston

GOOD READING MATTER.

The value of a lot Of good reading
matter in the farm home where there
are young folks, and even where there
are not, is almost impossible of proper
appreciation. Altogether too many
homes are filed up with literary trash
selected because it is cheap. If one can
find time for just ten minutes each day
and every day to come in touch with
the great minds and the best thought
of the world it exercises a most potent
and broadening influence; it does more
than this, for it will surely create an
appetite for the best things in liter
airy way, and an appetite for good
things in reading is just as mandatory
and eXacting as a depraved appetite
for the bad things. There are but few
people, we care not what may be their
vocation, who could not if they would
spare a few minutes each day for this
elevating work. One of the great privi-
leges of living in the twentieth century
lies in the easy access to all the best
thought of the master minds of the
past. Any farmer with children in his
home who are possibly limited as to
educational advantages may easily
make this educational loss good by
seeing that his home Is literally sup
piled with good reading matter-books,
magazines and newspapers and it is
just as much duty to see that this is
done as it is to properly feed his stock
and harvest his crops. We have been
in many a farm home where the read
ing matter included only mail order
shoddy story paper, local paper and
half a dozen cheap subscription books
Of doubtful value To try to raise a
boy or girl on such stuff is like trying
to raise calf on sour separator milk.

COCKLEBURs AND GRASS.

A friend who owns farm of 800
acres which he is compelled to rent
finds that the careless farming done
by his tenant in the growing Of corn
and crops Of small grain has filed the
farm full Of cockleburs and wishes to
know what he had better do to get rid
Of this pest. 1t cannot be done by any
method in any one year. for the ground
is probably SO full Of the seeds that
even If none were allowed to 90 to
seed from now on there would still be
plenty on hand at the end of four
years. We think he will have to try
the grass cure for this pest-seed the
land down and either NOV it for hay
or pasture it for series Of years. BY
thus doing he will not only get rid of
the burs, but he will rest and very
greatly improve the fertility of his
farm. A farm in grass never grows
poorer; a farm devoted to grain grow
ing by tenants is on the h1ghroad to
impoverishment. Every quarter sec
ton farm in the vest should carry not
less than forty acres Of grass all the
time. Then the old man can leave a
decent piece Of land for his son to
work.

A prominent minister, a field agent
for the Home Missionary society, told
us recently that agricultural prosperity
was not conducive to agricultural pi-
ETY. or scientific farming. He said that
the easier it was for a man on a farm
to make living the less he cared about
religion or the improvement of his
farm methods. He cited the case
which came under his notice recently
where an elder Of a country church,
the owner of 500 acres of land and one
of the trustees of a country church
which had been literally aided in the
past from the funds of the Home Mis-
sionary society, subscribed the large
sum Of Is cents toward helping the
good work along in other localities.
The elder gave as his excuse that he
was in debt, and upon inquiry our
friend found that the debt was created
by the purchase Of another eighty
acres Of land.
