see what's in this parcel? I've been
looking for you all afternoon" re-
marked Mr.. Patton, on the way up the
walk
Saw you goin' out" said Mariory.
Then all at once her tears flowed
afresh.
What is it, Marjory? You're not
afraid Of me now, are your" he asked.
"W-want YOU to forgive me-" she
sobbed
81 forgive you, Marjory,' he re-
turned gently. But now we must
both be happy" he added, cheerfully,
as they reached the seat.

Without word the bachelor bent
down.
Better now" sighed the child.
why you crying" she demanded
abruptly
Nonsense, Marjory. Come away
now and open the parcel It's pres
ent to you from me, Marjory."
Marjory's shrill voice rent the air
with one long shrek of delight over
the finest doll that Mr.. Patton had
been able to procure in Glasgow.
Want to cuddle you" she whis-
pered.
And he took her up in his arms.
81 say, Marjory," he observed, a
little later, its about time you were
going home.
"What will your daddy say to you
for being away so long?" asked Mr..
Patton as they went along the road.
Got no daddy" returned the child
Daddy dead long time ago.
and your mother?"
"Mummy's never angry-sometimes
sorry" said Marjory.
The bachelor was about to bid her
adieu, but she insisted upon his COM
ing in to see her other dolly, with its
head in sticking plaster, and to make
friends with her pussy cat. He smiled
good-naturedly, and accompanied her
up the path to the house.
"Mariory, Marjory, where have you
been?" cried voice, and Mr.. Patton
looked so queer that the child gazed
at him in alarm.
Round a clump of rhododendrons
came a woman, at the sight of whom
the bachelor stood staring like one
suddenly awakened from a dream
How do you do, james, said Mar
jory the elder, holding out her hand
to Mr.. Patton.

Simplicity the Dominant Note.

Simplicity is the dominant note OF
the seasons fashions. The skirts are
very plain and the coats often guile
less of trimming of any sort. Cos
tunes, even, have simple skirts, and
whatever elaboration there is is mass
ed on the bodice and sleeves. The
hats, however, make up in smartness
for any lack of elaboration in the
dress proper. Not that the hats are
elaborate-far from it. They are very
simple, but they are extremely beauti-
full as to material, shape and trim
ming, and are a sort of modernized
picture hat that seems to go quite as
we'll with the tailor-made frock as
with the dressy toilet.

THAT BARREL OF APPLES.

Il wish to speak to you about that
barrel of apples l bought day before
yesterday" said the kind-looking old
gentleman.
You'll have to see the clerk who
sold them to you," the grocer an
swered very snappishly. 81 don't know
anything about them"
But desire to say to you personal
ly that"
Nov, look here, I can't DO bothered
over every pound of sugar or pint OF
cider or barrel Of apples that my
clerks sell. Just see the young man
who waited on you. He's around some
where"
Eyes, I see him there at the back
end of the store; but really felt that
it was my duty to tell you about it.
You see"
IF l stood around listening to every
body who comes into this store to
complain that they've bought some
thing they didn't want or that they We
been sighted, as they think, by my
clerks l wouldn't have time for any
thing else. You'll please excuse me.
The clerk will hear your complaint,
and if there is anything that we can
do you may be sure it will be done,
But we can't take back barrel OF
apples after they have been out of the
store two or three days. You can
surely see that if we did business in
such a way"
my dear sir, 1 don't want you to
take back the apples and ! haven't
any complaint to make. 1 merely
wished to tell you that 1 found the
apples at the bottom of the barrel tc
be just as big as the ones at the top
l believe in the principle of giving
praise wherever it may be fairly
given, and | stepped in to order an
other barrel, but see you're too busy
to bother with such a trifle this morn
ing, so 1 will be going. Chicago Rec

The Hereford Cows.

There is some controversy in re-
gard to the milking qualities of Here
fords. The whole question of milk
ing as affecting this breed, or, in fact,
any other, is simply matter OF
training, and the practice of letting
the calves run with the cows is very
injurious from the dairyman's point
of view. The practice followed by a
very successful breeder OF Herefords
is to take the calves from the cows
when about a week old, and rear
them by hand, keeping the calves
simply in a growing state, and in or
der to develop their milking qualities,
out allowing them to become overload
ed with superfluous fat when young.

by-fours. The stanchion is 1dade to
open and close and secured in any way
that suits. The convenient part of the
chute is the trough-shaped part
marked H. This is made of two-inch
stuff and securely fastened to bottom
cross pieces. After the animal is Sc
cured in the stanchion a halter is
thrown over it's head and the halter
rope is passed through the hole just
below the letter H. The letter A
shows a continuation of this rope to
the pole which is used as lever to
bring the animals head into position
on the trough.
AS soon as this is accomplished the
rope B is thrown over the neck of the
animal, and secures the head firmly to
the through, when the dehorning oper'
alton may be performed. AS soon as
the operation is concluded the animal
is unstanchioned and one of the sides
of the chute is hinged so that it may
be opened for the animal to escape
from the chute, after which it is closed
and another animal is driven in. The
dimensions for this chute, suggests the
Iowa Homestead, may be made to suit
the size of animals to be dehorned
However, it is a good plan to make it
large enough to accommodate large
animals, as the chute comes very
handy in performing any kind of an
operation on an animal when it is nee
essary to secure him. The hinges and
latch on the side door and on the
swinging gates at the rear should be
made extra strong and not less than
three in number, as sometimes an ami
NAL will throw itself and place more or
less strain on the sides of the chute.
The width of the chute at the stan
chion is commonly three feet, while at
the rear end it is eight inches wider.

august presence of the great editor.
With trembling fingers he united the
string around his batch of jokes and
laid them on the editors desk.

care to look them over?"

turned to other work on his desk.

MANIPULATING THE UDDER.
System Developed by Danish Scientist
Proves Valuable Under Test.

1t is well known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who
does a thorough job; that incompe-
tent milking means not only direct,
but indirect loss, not only an imme-
date lessening of the fat yield, but
tends toward drying the COW. A DAN
ish scientist has recently developed
a special system of udder manipula-
ton, sort of massage Of the mann
mary gland, as it were, which it is
claimed augments the flow. The
Hegelund method, as it is called, in
wolves three manipulations, each
thrice repeated or until no more milk
is obtained. First, the pressure of the
quarter on each side against each
other thrice repeated, followed by re-
moval of the milk; second, the pres
sure of the glands together on each
side, the fore quarter being first ma
nipulated and then the hind quarters,
followed by removal of the milk, and,
third, the fore quarters are pressed
between hand and body, the hands
holding the teats loosely then the
hind quarters also, followed by milk
ing Trials of the schemes made at
the Wisconsin and New York stations
accorded a daily average increase
per cow of a pound of milk and two
ounces of butter. The after milk was
very rich in fat, testing about ten
per cent. This after milking takes
not to exceed five minutes time,
often only two or three minutes. The
two ounces of butter may be held at
low estimate to be worth two cents.
This would be fair pay for five min
utes, WORK, "a cents an hour and the
skim milk thrown in. Not only is
more milk and butter made, but the
secretion is stimulated, and the lacta-
ton period prolonged. 1t may be re-
marked, however, that the differences
in milk and butter yields between
this method and careful stripping are
not great The Danish method en-
phasizes more perhaps than has hith-
erto been done, the actual and poten-
tial losses due to incomplete milking.

however, had happened during his

ALL MATCH IN COLOR
Gloves, Hosiery and Other
Things Must Be of Same
Shade, Is the Decree.

When asked recently to name some
of the new frivolities of fashion
French woman who does shopping in
Paris for the 400 of all lands said:
"The new gowns are remarkable in
that they must be worn with small
things to match. I buy gloves, hose,
etc., with all gowns, and the price OF
the set is often equal to the cost OF
the entire costume. | buy the small
appointments of dress this season
rather than the. gowns themselves. A
set may include fan, bag, stock, boa,
shoes, stockings and hat.
81 have a customer who wrote me
that she desired to spend $500 upon
small trimmings for her costume. 1
have gowns enough said she, but l
need all sorts of trimmings in the new
colors to go with my gowns.
with part of the money bought a
turquoise feather boa, nearly two
yards long 1t is a pale turquoise.
l purchased a sandal wood fan with
long sticks and covered with ostrich
feathers at the tips. bought long,
blue feather for the hat and added a
pair of turquoise-blue gloves.
For another woman who also de-
sired blue l bought a set of turquoise
jewelry, which this season is quite
unique. chose the imitation of
course. But 1 selected some blue
enamel flowers set with turquoise and
l bought a long fine gold chain with
turquoise set in the links. l added a
pair of turquoise glove carriers and l
bought some blue enamel flowers for
the hat
Il have a customer who complains
that her skirts set badly around the
foot. They do not flare sufficiently,
though she spends plenty of money for
her skirts. And for her | selected half
a dozen petticoats made in the latest
style around the foot. They are spe-
cially designed to make the lingerie
skirts set out"

DEHORNING CHUTE.
Continuance Which Will Make the
Task of Dehorning an Easy One.

One of the good points about this
chute is the hinged doors on the rear
end, which make it possible to adjust
the chute to any size barn door. Where
the width of the rear end of the chute
is stationary, and cannot be adjusted
to the door as shown in the illustra-
ton, there is often foot or two Of
space to be divided between the two
sides. AS our readers who have had
experience in dehorning know, an ami
NAL will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute, and thereby cause a constant
aggravation. The chute proper is
mounted on two heavy timbers which
may be four-by-fours or four-by-s
while the uprights are generally four.

Wolfe Is Here to STAY.

Voiles and veilings are already be-
ing made Up, and this is fairly good
sign that they are destined to be
fashionable for another season. There
are few plain voiles; all have stripes.
checks or figures of some sort. For
a coat and skirt costume wolfe is de-
lightfully light and cool, and besides
makes a smart-looking costume. Wolfe
must always be made up over silk,
and therefore is not so good for a
morning dress as foulard or real silk.

New Fan Design.

A new idea in feather fans has
been recently introduced. The feath-
ers may be coque's feathers, pleas
ants, birds of gayer plumage or the
quiet pigeon, and the sticks tortoise
shell. When the fan is closed the head
of the bird ornaments the first stick,
and when open it is on one side.
Those who like such a use of birds
consider this a charming effect.

Many old-fashioned hats have re-

are now tied loosely at the back below
