SILK FROCKS HERE
pronounced FaVorite of Fashion for
the Late Summer and Early
Autumn.

Silk frocks are emphatically a fea-
ture Of the late summer and early au-
tumn, for they are neither too thin
nor too heavy for comfort, and so nu-
merous are the bargains advertised IN
fabrics Of this nature that IL would
seem as though every woman in any
walk OF life might be able TO realize
her day dream OF possessing at least
one silk gown. She had best pur-
chase one OF the mau7e shades. how
ever. il she would be abreast Of the
times. for. with suggestion of white
next TO the face, mauye is possible TO
any complexion. and from present in
dicatiOls viii be q popular shade Of
the winter. In the novelty silks which
are striped when they are not checked
or pOika-dotted, are seen some stun
ming effects in browns, blues and vel
lows combined with white. The striped
silks may be made to trim themselves
by means Of transversely used bands.
The plain pongees, sedos and o-kedos
are also in high favor for early au-
tumn costumes and are being made up
about equally with long or short skirts
trimmed with one broad or a success
sion OF bias bands. and with lace
yoked waists with ornate short
sleeves.

below the elbow the sleeve fits closely

NEW MILLINERY IDEA
Something Really Striking Even Among
the Striking Productions Of
the Season.

We have been treated to such novel
and striking effects in millinery this
season that It seems as though nothing
could come in the way Of surprise.
Yet A new hat is a model which at
tracts immediate attention and makes
friends for itself at first sight. The
shade is of leghOrn in the natural yell
low shade, the crown rather high and
round and the brim quite wide. This.
OF course, is wired on the under side.
But the feature of the hat is the mount
ing of finest princess lace, fitting
smoothly over the crown, the brim
deeply scalloped and shaped TO this
portion of the hat The crown and
brim joining OF the lace is covered
with a simple wreath of small white
flowers and green foliage, and at the
left side of the crown are posed three
beautiful white prince Of Wales ostrich
plumes which nod and dip over the
high crown and brim. The headsize is
fitted with a half inch cache peign
swathed' in white malines through
which fancy headed hat pins are in
serted.

ranks far ahead of red or medium
clover, 1t may be fed safely to
horses and never produce heayes
as medium clover does. If you
have debllitated horse (or any an

any kind of stock has to be wasted
more or less, as stock will not eat
the entire stem with any reli g h,
but with alfalfa the entire plant
is greedily consumed and their

Peculiarities of Horses.

There are as many different
dispositions among horses as there
are among men, and in handling
horses it Is as necessary to under
stand them invidually as it is to
understand them collectively. 1t
spoils some horses to whip them,
and other horses are bettered by a
judicially applied blow now and
then. Some horses are buffers,
and whip will make them good :;
other horses are stubborn and a
whip makes them more so; some
are nervous and should become ac.
customed to a whip and taught its
use. In fact, every horse should
be taught that whip has certain
uses, and he should learn to have
no fear of it, except when it is
aotualy used on him. He should
not Jump when the other horse is
touched up.

Work Day Two Long.

The work day on the farm ls too
long. Farmers must manage to
get enough for the products they
raise 50 that 1t will not be ne cess
airy to labor fourteen hours day.
Smaller farms and better farming,
together with sensible system OF
marketing, will bring relief and
shorter hours. The boy on the
farm who sees boys in other walks
of life working only eight hours
or ten hours, wearing bettef
clothes and enjoying more privi-
leges, is bound to be dissatisfied.
He does not stop to figure that it
costs some boys who go to the
city, health, character and even
life. He figures that he can do as
we'll as the best of them.

The Poor Cuss.

Farmers, as rule, are not much
In need of some one to tell them
how to do things as they are in
need Of money to do the things
they should do. It's mighty
easy thing for the experimental
farmer who is furnished with all
the best tools and the best of
stock, and the best of buildings,
and with the highestsp priced labor
at government expense, to tell the
cuss with one horse, a cow few
chickens, a woln-out farm and a
sick wife, just how to manage to
get rich. but it's quite different
proposition for the poor cuss to
carry cut the instructions. Farm
ing on paper is heap easier than
doing the real thing. / know,
for have tried both. Ali of us
know better than We do. The
majority of farmers do about as
well as they are able. Even the
the man who has poor COW and
keeps her does so because he hard
ly knows where or how to better
himself. His neighbor who has
cows for sale usually wants to sell
the poor ones, and it seems i'm.
possible for him to raise a good
calf from poor COW. The best
way is to just keep on trying to
do little better each week and
each year. Read the papers for
ideas; see how your successful
neigh Dor does THU gs; learn some
thing new every day but above
all things, don't try to do too
many things. More people fail
by having "too many irons in the
fire. than from any other cause.
