BOTTLE DOLLS"
Lots of Fun to Be Had From Old Bot,
 ties and a Little Tissue Paner.

Though there is fragile sound to
 the name, dolls of glass are quite sub- l stantia and almost unbreakable
 What is more. they stand firmly erect
 and won't topple over or fall down. It
 requires no particular skill 10 make | them, either. for they are nothing but | glass bottles in tissue paper clothes.

 stock of white and cOlored tissue pa-

 Any bottles and all bottles will an-
 Swer. provided they are empty and
 clean. Big and little. fat and slim.
 with high shoulders or slender wists, you can make some kind of doll of
 almost any bottle.
 Round bottles with long necks make
 the best lady dolls, while sim. short
 necked bottles either round or fiat are best for men dolls. Almost any shape
 will answer for the children and
 babies.
 Whatever kind of a bottle you use. 1 always put a cork in first. then make

PROCLAIMs LATE WINTER.
Many Signs Indicate That Cold
 Weather Is Some Distance Away.

People who pose as weather proph- cts hereabouts have many things that they take into consideration in pre- dieting a mild winter. The signs are almost as innumerable as the sands of the sea- and i'll nearly ever! instance they have some relation tc the foresight known to be exercised by animals in making preparations for the season of cold and SHOWS.
 Muskrats have not even begun to build their winter quarters. This E a sign that never fails since the day when Adam first observed that muskrats were weather sharps. Ducks have been slow in migrating This would be convincing to any but the most calloused skeptics. Deer have their thin, fall suits on; the beavers have not begun cutting their winter wood supply; the owls nave not vet withdrawn to the depths or the woodlands; the song birds have not all sailed southward, and some of them are still to be heard piping their summer lays; toadstools have few or no wrinkles; corn tusks are not thick: the 'possum has only one curl in his tail this fall; the swamps and bogs are low; the wild geesa are still soiourning on northern lakes there is no thick down under tho chickens feet; the whiskerS of Jer- sev farmers are struggling and oi slow growth: black cats have no whites under their eyes: vermin un- der logs and old blanks are more numerous and lively than usual; the goosebone is fair and unspotted; fish worms are near the surface.
 In facg. nature. with myriad voices proc.a:ms that the winter of 19O7-19GS will not be a severe one. Yesterday tho cloudy skies and chill air made many think of winter, and even predict snow storm The signs seer' to indicate few storms of severity, according to the weather prophets.

President Mellen is coming in fo

President Mellen is coming in for praise or censure, just as his critics feel after being hit or not hit by the panicky times. Just the same he has made the big guns" take no tce, and while his speech may be called radical and sarcastic, it has struck home in quarters where it was most needed. It is crying shame tha5 any man or set of men can put this country into such con dition as it is in at present. With plenty of money and work for every one and prosperity on every side, there is sudden change, for politi- cal effect, President Mellen says, for the capturing of q few votes. The man or men that would jeopardize the welfare of the country should be looked after and not given the opportunity a second time. Z C. Durham, president of one Of Hart ford's higgust insurance companies, when asked to express an opinion on Mellens speech. among other things said: "The-e is no doubt that Pres ident MelIen has d grievance. do not think President Roosevelt has treated him fairly. For six months the president has been saying he was going 10 investigate the New York, New Haven and Hartford, and he has not investigated. If there is anything there to investigate. all well and good, let it be investigated, but 10 come out six months in ad- vance and say that something is wrong thee and needs investigation is to call I man a thief before he has been proven to be a thief NIT Mel len. because of this declaration. has been put in a yer embarrassing po- sition. and suspicion has been di- rected against his road "

The Hartford Courant takes Presi- dent Mellen to task for his outspoken denunciation of the republican ad- ministration toward corporations. and in closing it says: Confidence is as sure to return and business to expand again as the sun is to shine" Sure enough, but it's return will not save those who are now suffering and were made to suffer by the present panic. We all have confidence enough in the country to know that after this storm there will be sunshine, but was it worth while to have the storm.

Nearly half the pop corn consumed
in the United States is raised in the
small county of Sac, in the northwest
ern portion of Iowa. There 1t has
been found that the soil Is particularly
adapted to its cultivation. Before the
shows and the street corner merchants
took it up the hot buttered pop corn
wasn't very much in demand. Its cul-
tivation was restricted to few stalks
on the farm that met the home de-
mand A small quantity might be
bought at the store, but it was high in
price and the sales were few.
The breakfast food manufacturers
are now the largest consumers Of pop
corn in the market. Nearly half of
the ready-to-serve foods have con-
siderable percentage of pop corn. One
brand is practically all pop corn.

Grazing Hogs.

Cowpeas without grain have so far
given better results, 1t Is stated, than
any of the other crops tested at the
Mississippi station. In 1903 the cow
peas were grown on thin hill land and
an acre produced $50 pounds Of pork.
In 1904 the crop was grown on good
valley land and produced 4S3 pounds
of pork per acre. The pigs We're turn
ed on the pasturage when the cow
peas were ripe and were fed no grain
in addition to the pasturage.
Alfalfa without grain has been
found ito be little more than main
tenance ration for hogs" The pigs
used in the test which covered two
years, ranged from three to twenty
four months in age.

In the spring of 1894 the Rhode ISL
and Experiment Station decided to de-
vote an acre of land to the continuous
culture of corn.
The soil was partly a silt loan and
partly a light sandy loan. The first
two years only chemical fertilizers
were used, the maintenance of soil hui
mus being placed upon the corn stub
BILE remaining upon the field. The
following two years half of the area
was sown with crimson clover at the
time of the last cultivation Of corn and
half to rye, in order to compare the
merits Of a legumlnous and nonlegu-
minous crop as means of maintaining
soil humus. Beginning with 1898, after
the experiment had been In progress
four years, the first quarter of the acre
plat was sown to crimson clover and
the third quarter to winter rye at the
time OF the last cultivation of the corn,
while the second and fourth quarters
received no cover crop. In 1899 the
land was lined to insure the success
Of clover. The history of the land Is
given and the fertilizer treatment and
the results secured in each year are
recorded.
a summary of the results during the
twelve years the experiment has been
conducted shows that the gain from
using clover as a cover crop, after de-
ducting the cost of the seed, was
$50.24, or an average of $4.19 per acre
annually, as compared with $4.2S, or
an average of 80 cents an acre annu-
ally from using rye.

Following extensive experiments In
the effects Of hand separator and grav-
ity systems of creaming, the author Of
an Indiana bulletin draws these con-
clusions:
/. The use of the hand separator In
the place Of the gravity systems Of
creaming will effect a saving Of $3.50
to 81 worth of butter fat from one cow
in one year. With the hand separator
richer cream and better quality of
cream and skim milk can be produced
than with the gravity systems.
2. OF the gravity methods the deep.
setting system is the least objection
able. 1t produces a more complete
separation and a better quality of
cream than either the shallow pan OF
the water-dilution systems.
3. Any neglect to thoroughly clean
the separator after each separation re-
duces the skimming efficiency Of the
machine and lowers the quality of the
cream and butter produced. Wash the
separator after each separation.
4. A trembling machine, insufficient
speed, sour, curdled, Shiny or cold
milk, and over-feeding the separator
caused loss of butter fat in the skim
milk amounting to from eight to
twelve pounds of butter per COW IN
one year.
5. Other things being equal, high
speed and a small rate of inflow tend
to produce a thick cream. Insufficient
speed, trembling machine and large
rate of inflow result In thinner
cream.
