A HARTFORD MAN ON DAKOTA SOIL

Mr.. Harry Silver, formerly of near
Chenille, who has for sometime past
been residing at Big Stone City, South
Dakota, but slipped back to MS native
heath long enough last June to capture
one of her fair daughters, has returned to
the home of his adoption, and sends us
the following interesting letter. dated
August 10. The road drag referred to
is briefly described elsewhere in this issue,
and because of its simplicity of construC-
ton and cheapness of cost seems we'll
worthy of consideration to be used on
our dirt roads. Mr. Silver says:
I'VE are expecting corn in about 10
days and have 300 acres. which promises
good crop. | noticed on my way out
here the 10th of July, that the corn west
of Chicago was considerably larger than
the corn in Maryland, which fact surprised
me very much, the corn in Wisconsin
being especially fine. But the season was
two weeks earlier than in Maryland, and
it is still very hot, the thermometer
yesterday registering 1914.
Harvest is at its height now, rye,
| flax will soon be ripe, all of which are
very good, and the farmers "have on a
smile that won't come off," for this is
the first good year they have had in four
years, the other three being too wet
| For this reason think good many are
| turning their attention more to live
stock, and justly So for they have raised
grain so long that it has ceased to be

same perplexing question that eastern

and maintain the fertility of the soil.

not even talked of, and think it would
| be a blessing financially if they never
were introduced, for the farmers here
believe they can improve and keep up
their farms by keeping plenty of stock,
and should they succeed in so doing it
would certainly be a good object lesson
to their eastern brothers.
| 81 enclose clipping from The Dakota
Farmer. in regard to a road drag, which

| interested in good roads, and especially
| the Deer Greek Farmers Club, who have
so often discussed that important
question.
81 would suggest that the County
| Commissioners of Hartford county be
asked to have one of these inexpensive
drags made, give it to some energetic
farmer who isinterested in road improve
ment and who lives adjacent to some
suitable piece of road for experiment,
and have him drag this road after each
rain, and see what the result would be.
think the scheme well worth a trial, for
it has two advantages over the big wheel
scraper: 1st, you can't move as much
dirt at a time, and 2nd, it does not re-
quire large team. This idea, as far as
| can learn, originated at the Minnesota
Experiment Station, and has been used
extensively and endorsed by them. Other
states have taken up the idea and have
attained good results. Why not Hartford
county try it? The thing appealed to
me most tavOrably. and give it to you
for what it is worth"
Yours respectfully,
HARRY SILVER

Smart Coifures.

Puffs and pompadours are decidedly In
evidence in the smart coiffures this season,
and are quite as essential-though the
STYLES are changed-as they have been dur
ing the last two years. The only notice
able difference in the pompadours is that
they are not so large and are arranged
in softer waves about the face, fashion
that is distinctly becoming to both young
girls and elderly women. AS to the pufrS,
thew are even more necessary to a finish
when the hair is dressed in full loose fash
ion around the sides and at the back.
A stunning couture for q young girl Is
the pointed pompadour that is pulled gen.
tly away from the forehead at either side
and brought down in rounded point to
the center of the brow. At the back the
hair, marceled of course. in the wide
waves that are in favor now, Is drawn
loosely to the top of the head and fastened
in loose figure eight. black bow or
small ornament pinned at the top Of the
pompadour completes simple Out eHec-
tive style.
Masses of puffs worn at either side OF
part down the middle of the hair make
striking couture for a young matron and
are particularly becoming to an oval face
The back of the hair may be done in puffs
or just the Marcel waves. while the knot
on top may be either plain or done In the
basket Duff a feature that is new this
winter.
The combination of curlS and pompadour
makes a pretty headdreSs that the average
woman can wear to advantage for after
noon or evening. For this style the POM
padour really extends entirely around the
drawn to the top and covered with curls,
one or two of which should fall over the
nompadour to the forehead, just to break
the roundness of the puff.

GAMES FOR INDOORS.
Pretty Ways to Entertain Young
Folks.

To the young hostess who wishes to en-
terrain her friends with indoor games that
are both novel and entertaining the fol-
lowing suggestions may be helpful:
Progression is one of the simplest
games for a roomful of bright little boys
and girls to play, for 1t requires no prep
aration except the distribution of writing
paper. for each youngster is provided with
a big sheet of paper and pencil and told
to write out the name of some article. This
may be any simple thing, such as house"
tree book" but 1t must be definite
object or otherwise the next step In the
game will become too complicated for the
younger children. When all have finished
writing down the name OF an object IA
miliar to all, the papers are exchanged all
around and the hostess then gives her
ders for the progression"
Without showing her paper to any of
her neighbors each child must draw a pic
ture to illustrate the particular word on
the paper which has been handed to her
OF course, the results of these artistic at
tempts are usually ridiculous, but that is
all part Of the fun and no one need mind
being laughed at.
When the illustrations" have been COM
pleted the artist turns down the name at
the top of his paper, so that the picture
alone is visible when she passes 1t on.
And now comes the most difficult part of
the game, for each participant must guess
what the picture she now holds is supposed
to represent and write a little rhyme about
1t.
The children then give their papers to
some older person, who exhibits all the
drawings and reads the accompanying
verses. The three children who have con-
tributed to the most popular paper may be
given some little prize reward.
Another simple but entertaining game. is
Memory. 1t is instructive, too, and both
boys and girls like to play it.
To make this play a success big table
in an adjoining room is necessary. On 1t
are placed innumerable little articles. The
top of the table should be nearly covered
with the different familiar things of ev-
ery-day use-a cup napkin, knife, fork,
plate, spool of thread, a hat-all the com
mon necessities of life that come daily UNI
der our observation. This done, the chill
dren are formed in line and marched

Old Silver Pieces.

Teaspoons can be bought by the ounce
now, for the trifiing cost of their weight in
ten cent pieces. Silver brooches, too, may
be secured by the ounce as If they were Or
binary commodities. This unique method
or selling silver is the plan of an old shop
keeper who is the delight of the impe-
cunious lover of the beautiful, for here one
may match an odd salt spoon or fish out OF
a pile Of seeming junk most rare ana
beautiful antique brooch, and this in shop
just few doors from Broadway.
These rare old pieces are found among
piles and piles of silver forks and spoons
and jewelry, Unfortunately tossed to-
gether as If for the ash man, and are sold
for eighty cents an ounce.
Many missing piece of silver set or
handsome pattern in ancient style can here
be supplied One woman recently bought
four teaspoons, thin and tooth-dented, and
was determined to finish out her half dozen.
Weekly she visited the little shop and
sorted over the piles of silver, but to no
avail. Finally she gave 1t up. Six months
later she was passing that way, and glanc-
ing in at the window, she spied her very
pattern lying loose on the top of pile or
newly acquired treasures. She went in and
found not only her missing spoons, but a
whole set of forks to match.
Handsome old napkin rings are COM
modify found in abundance: one on which
dollars was purchased for it's weight in ten
cent pieces. Beautiful handwork brings
no more than silver in bulk.
Here also one can sell old silver by
weight A thrifty woman not long ago, in
cleaning out her treasure chest, collected
from among her store broken silver but
ton hook, three old bent shirt studs and
defunct silver watch chain. These she was
able to exchange for their own weight In
any form she chose. She returned home
the proud possessor of half dozen coffee
spoons of antique design.
Ugly or useless wedding presents may be
disposed of at face value or exchanged for
esthetic bits such as delight the heart of
a bride. Silver candlesticks are always
present in abundance, and bits of old silver
jewelry in various stages of repair Tops or
old back combs, such as are now In style
again. can be picked up, and cuff buttons
of two generations ago are not unknown.
If one visit does not reveal the coveted
article, second one probably will. In one
day the whole stock may change. The
source of supply is through pawnshops all
over the country, and every so often every
thing is cleared out and turned back into
bulk. 1t Is at the point between these two
that gems Of art may sometimes be res
cued from destruction. Many tale OF de-
cayed gentility or fleeing riches, broken
hearts and romantic courtship may be read
from these old piles of valuable junk that
lie invitingly ready for the keen tuyer in
his unpretentious little shop.

For a PHOTOGRAPH,

The correct attire for having ones photo
graph taken this season is an evening gown
cut decollete. Clad in light colored frock
of the newest filmy material with trimming
of sheer lace or hand embroidery any wom-
an may feel that so far as dress goes her
picture will be correct The wearing of
big picture hats with plumes, ribbons and
velvets, becomingly arranged, which was
such a fad a year or so ago. is still in
vogue. 1t depends entirely upon the per-
son posing, and though the majority of
photographs will be taken without these
hats, the latter are an adjunct of picture
taking that will probably always be con-
sidered good form.
The use of furs. provided they are hand
some ones, will again be fashionable, for a
boa even collarette placed carelessly
around the neck lends a touch of elegance
that is greatly favored by the average
woman. A fur cape even a long coat
thrown open In front to show the evening
costume will be permissible, though doubt
less little worn for photographs.

Women and Shoes.

From the Birmingham Age Herald
With successful salesman in a woman 3
shoe store the motto is Vanity thy name Is
woman" said a shoe man last night.
Almost invariably a woman wears a shoe
one to two sizes larger than she thinks she
does. We sell more shoes from Nos 3La to S
than other sizes, probably, though fire.
quently even larger ones are worn If a
woman comes in and asks for g. it's
pretty safe to give her No. 4. 1t would
never do In the world to tell exactly the
size. I've known woman to come in, try
on several pairs of shoes and finally get a
pair that just suited Incidentally they
would ask the size, and when told the shoe
was size or two larger than they thought
they should wear they would deliberately
leave the store, merely giving the explana-
ton, They don't suit don't tell a woman
the size of her shoes any more. IL she calls
for No. 2ls fit her feet if it takes a No. T.
and let her go away happy in the belief that
she has Cinderella feet.

shoes to fit, and he don't care much whether
he wears No. a No. IL"

Mourning Wear.

OF all the changes in dress that have
taken place during the last few years
there is none perhaps so marked as the
new idea of what's fashionable and cor
rect for mourning. No longer must one
be heavily draped in crepe for any
length of time, even for the nearest of
kim but the period of first mourning, while
much shortened, Is nevertheless very mark
ed Crepe Is worn, it might be said, on
the least excuse, but must be worn for only
a short while. the period Of course being
regulated by the closeness of the demised
relative Black and white is now so smart
for general wear that 1t is rather out of
favor save for the lightest possible mourn
ing and gray, mauve and lilac also are no
longer considered strictly mourning-or half
mourning-colors. Satins. however. bright
spangled robes and all materials with con-
siderable sheen are now considered
quite correct for all save the deepest
mourning, and bright and dull jet trim the
majority of all black dresses, while black
lace and embroidery are also deemed per-
missible for all mourning that does not call
for crepe.

Cold Weather Fashions.

For very cold days there are heavy fleece
lined armlets, and this makes it possible
for the woman of fashion to wear her
elbow sleeved gown all winter. Indeed, the
matter of covering ones arms seems to be
all one of habit anyway. 1t is not really
necessary to make the arms warm, II
seems, for they are left uncovered nine
times out of ten. But the woman who
goes into the street will want the fleece
lined armlet or the long heavy glove.
Muffs into which one can sink ones arms
to the elbows are very much carried. And
SO are the muffs which are smaller, but
which are fiat and rather triangular In
shape, like a three-cornered pillow with
all che corners cut slightly rounded. These
muffs are lined with white satin or with
violet, SO that they can be worn with any
gown, for violet goes we'll with all furs.

House Plants.

If a rubber plant is dropping it's leaves 1t
may be that the pot is too small and these
cramped quarters restrict the proper
growth and development Of the leaves,
hence their dropping and yellowness. Or
the earth from which the roots take
nourshment may be exhausted, or the
plant may have been exposed to sudden
draughts of heat and cold. any of which
causes would in time produce the I'M
healthy conditions you complain of.
Why don't you try reporting the plant.
Put in fresh loan: make sure that 1t Is
properly mixed with sand-about half and
half-and that there is also a generous
supply of fertilizer. A larger pot should
also be selected, and If you have to pur-
chase a 1ardiniere be sure to get porous
earthen vessel. for many sturdy rubber
tree has persisted because 1t was planted
in a glazed pot where no air could get to
the roots. Air is absolutely essential to
healthy growth and the roots must be
so planted in the soil that both air and
water can circulate freely about them.
A drainage canal should be rugged up in
the center of the pot over the hole in the
bottom out Of which the water runs, for
with this drain properly made no water
can accumulate. turn sour and rot the
roots, a difficulty that is almost bound to
follow when these plants are put in tubs
or jars with no opening in the bottom.
Rubber plants need plenty Of water, and,
incidentally, it is necessary to wash off the
leaves with sponge or soft cloth, for If
dust Is allowed to clog the pores part
of the air necessary for health is shut off
and the gro@Gth is thus naturally affected.
AS to the watering essential for the
roots. 1t is needed whenever the soil be-
gins to look dry. and when the pot has
spots of brown that are sure indications
that the plant needs a drink.
The temperature of a room in which
rubber plants and palms are kept should
not be cooler than fifty degrees Fahren-
heit, and as to the warmth these plants,
hat, he 90 rarn 1Ixy cyof
too hot in the average living ROOM
Care should be taken. however, to pre-
vent their being in draughts. for nothing
is more injurious to either palm or rub
Der trees than to be exposed to the wind
| or to sudden changes of heat and cold
Palms should be treated in much the
same way as rubber plants. SO far as
watering and the washing of the leaves
