FOLLOW COAT LINES
BoIeros with Short Sleeves Are Now
Much Worn with the Most
Dressy Costumes.

Vague little boleros with short
sleeves that fall in with the coat lines,
giving much the effect of cape or
pelerine, are the thing most in vogue
for the linen coat and skirt frock of
somewhat dressy character.
In one of these frocks the sleeve OF
the loose coat is really not a complete
sleeve, but a full fiounce cleverly set
on the bolero over the top of the
arm and shoulder point, and the
French designers are exerting their
skill in the planning of such original
sleeve and loose bolero arrangements.
A model which is in reality little
more than a cleverly cut triple cape
with the arm passing between the out
side shortest cape and the one next
below it, is much used, and in other
models two Of the capes are outside
of the arm and but one beneath 1t.

IDEAS FOR HOSTESS
Attractive Booth Seen Recently at an
Entertainment for Charity-Birth-
day Party for Baby.

Entertainments for charity, both
elaborate and simple, are engrossing
the attention of society folk at all the
summer resorts.
A most attractive booth at one OF
these affairs is worthy of description;
it may be carried out with very little
expense, which is an item to be con-
sidered. 1t was called "The Morn
ing Glory Fair" The space occupied
was triangular and the foundation of
sides and front was constructed of
bamboo poles. Interlaced over this
was a bewildering tangle of morning
glories in delicate lavender, pink, blue
and white The attendants wore thin
gowns of these same colors with lin
gerie hats trimmed with wreaths Of
morning glories.
Under a large umbrella, which was
completely covered with "glories, !"
tea and waters were served. Each
guest was presented with morning
glory clipped from the trellis. These
blossoms pinned to coat lapel and
gown served to advertise morning
glory" tea all over the grounds. They
were made of crepe tissue paper of
various hues.

For 4 Porch Party.

The porch party is most accept
able form of summer entertainment.
One given recently not only provided
a delightful morning for guests and
hostess but resulted in furnishing a
Joyous surprise to 95 children at one
of the Fresh Air Sanitariums.
"Blacx-eyed Susans" were the ex-
elusive decoration, and their gorgeous
coloring was a joy. They were massed
in great punches in brown jugs and
bamboo holders and the effect was
lovely. The invitation cards were or
namented by one great flower done in
water-colors and said: "Thimbles, but
bring no work"
After reading a jolly tale from one
of the magazines the hostess produced
bean-bags made of red denim, which
were to be filled from a jar of beans
and the ends sewed up. These were
taken to the children the next day by
the hostess and as many of her guests
as could arrange to go. 1t was pathet-
ic to witness the Joy Of the children
when told the bags were to take
home. Possession means so much to
these waits, many of whom are prac-
tically homeless and friendless. At
II o'clock fruit punch and home
made cookies we're passed, the party
breaking up at noon. These morning
affairs from 80 to II" are much in
favor this season.

Shelter for Hogs.

allow the hogs to move about under
them. If set out a distance from the
fence there is always sure to be shade.
Besides furnishing place for the
hogs to go during the hottest part of
the day and also affording protection
from cold rains in the early fall the
pens are up off of the ground making
decay less rapid. Another convenient
shelter is shown by Farm and Home
built in corner of the pasture. This
can be made as long as necessary to
suit the requirements. The back Of
the shed can be boarded up or not to
suit the plans of the owner. Where
the hogs are left out late in the fall
however, the back and one side should
be temporarily boarded up to give pro-
lection on chilly nights or during cold
driving rains.

GRAZING SHEEP WITH CATTLE.
Too Many of Former Are Not Good
for Latter.

It is quite common knowledge
among the stockmen that cattle do
not do well when considerable num-
bers of sheep are allowed access to
the same pasture. This is due to no
dislike which these animals have for
each other, but to their different
methods of feeding.
Cattle cover considerable territory,
selecting the choicest bits of grass
and eating closely only when obliged
to. Sheep on the other hand, move
slowly and Craze closely as they go.
When sheep have access to the good
pasture first they will Craze it so
closely that the cattle cannot secure
a good cropping if they follow them
Immediately.
IL the number of sheep allowed to
a certain pasture is relatively small,
little difficulty will be experienced.
Eight or ten ewes may be allowed the
range of a pasture which will supply
20 head of cattle and a few sheep can
be Kept in a pasture with dairy cows
II it is not grazed too closely.
A very satisfactory method OF
handling pasture with sheep and cat
tie is practiced in some portions OF
southern Ohio and Indiana, says Farm
and Home. The pasture is divided
into three fields. The cattle are al
lowed to Craze field a until the grass
is rather short, when they are turned
into field b, and the sheep are turned
into a from field c.
This allows the sheep to follow the
cattle and provides for an interval
after the sheep have left before the
cattle are turned onto the pasture.
During this time the grass attains con.
siderable growth and the effects OF
the close grazing of the sheep will
have passed. This method is also
better for the pastures, as it provides
for period of rest, which is neces-
sary to secure the greatest returns
from given area.

Hoo Cholera Boots.

A farmer living in the northwest
had a herd infected with hog cholera.
He wore pair of boots among the
sick hogs, which boots should have
been destroyed before any one got
chance to wear them off the farm.
One day he dressed up and put on the
boots for visit to the state expert
ment station. He was particularly in
terested in hogs. He climbed over
into the different pens and examined
the different sows and their filters. In
due time after his visit the hog chol-
era broke out at the station and many
good animals were lost. What was
worse, the experiments in which the
hogs were playing their part were
badly disarranged.

FOOD OF THE HORSE.
Its Quality Determines the Improve.
ment of the Animal.

Food is one of the great factors in
the Improvement of the horse. In
Importance it stands next to inherit
'ance. The horses energy is depend
ent on his food, and the ratio that en-.
ergy bears to muscular development
also comes from the kind and amount
of food given. The skilled horseman
is a student of food values, and it is
impossible for a man to become a
skillful breeder without acquiring an
intimate knowledge regarding the
components of food In some cases he
must feed to produce frame, in another
instance he desires to give food that
will produce great muscular develop
ment, while in a third case, having
enough of these, he desires to feed to
give the horse an abundance of energy
by which to make use of the frame
he has and of the muscles that are
fastened upon that frame.
The food of the growing horse must
be rich in the elements that make
muscle and bone Such food win con-
tain large amount of ASH a part OF

rich in the element phosphorus. The
muscles require large supply of nj

SHEEP AND HORSE NOTES.

While half blood horses may do well
enough to work, they should never be
used for breeding purposes.
Your sheep may need their hoofs
trimmed if you didn't attend to this.
Do you notice any of them walking
lame?
The best place to mark sheep is on
the rump. Venetian red and linseed
oil will make a distinctive mark. New
er use tar.
Men who do not like sheep should
not keep them, but at the present
prices wouldn't it pay to stretch a
point SO as to take advantage of the
profits along with the other fellows?

Grind Them Up.

Now that nearly every housewife

don't throw away single bit of
outside cabbage leaf, turnip peeling,
apple peeling or core, or even potato
peeling. Grind them up with celery
tops, turnip sprouts, and everything
else that is vegetable, and give them
to the hens. 1t is surprising how
much hens will eat of things that
they have the reputation of never
touching, if the food is cut or ground
to convenient sized mouthfuls for
them. And, remember, they repay
it all with eggs,

labor to raise two filters of pigs than
