A rich cream voile skirt was made
attractive by a neat trimming around
the bottom. The skirt was plated in
box paits about two and one-half
inches wide around the entire breadth.
The bottom of each plat was trimmed
with narrow pyramid of lace, possibly
seven inches long The lace was as
wide as each plait, gradually tapering
to point The effect for a dress skirt
was becoming indeed.
'Ready-made riding clothes are now
offered in great variety and excellent
quality, and many women buy these in
expensive habits for summer wear,
even though they may prefer made
to-order habit for park use. The ready
made habits are furnished in paddock,
scmi-fittiug and Norfolk coat styles and
in both cross saddle and side saddle
skirts. 1t is possible, too. to buy sep
arate riding skirts of whipcord, cheviot,
khaki and linen for summer wear with

Feed Cows Their own MIX.

An endless chain arrangement that
on It's face appears to be the most
economical scheme ever devised has
been started by Prof Err, of the Kan
sas State Agricultural College. Prof.
Err takes the milk secured from cows
on the college farm, converts it into
a powder and feeds it to the cows, max
ing what is declared to be the cheap
est of all the COW foods.
The food invented by Prof. Err Is
made of buttermilk. He has perfected
system of drying buttermilk and
then converting 1t into a powder This
dried buttermilk contains about 20 per
cent of protein, twice as much as cot
ton seed meal contains, and can be
manufactured for one and half cents
a pound. Thus a food twice as rich as
cotton seed can be manufactured at
approximately the cost of the latter.
One hundred pounds of buttermilk
will make from nine to ten pounds of
the finished product and as the esti-
mated waste of buttermilk in the
creameries of Kansas Is 100000
pounds daily, 1t is figured that by the
adoption of this progress saving of
100000 can be made yearly in Kan
sas alone.

| many American women need is not
! stimulants, but a narcotic. We have,
| 1t is true, quite number of ladies' who
take life easy and let the world wag
on, as the old song says, as 1t will, but
they are in the minority. The rest Of
US go at high pressure.
Witness the woman who goes on
sprees of housecleanlng, the lady who
goes on mad shopping jamborees. the
frenzied one bent on the instant
achievement Of clothes and hats, the
person who goes in for dogs, the one
who dotes on birds, the embroidery
fiendeach and every specimen of the
variety of the universal feminine who
does not believe In doing things by
halves. She is so determined not to
do 1t by half that she does 1t about
twice too much; she goes TO the other
extreme and oyersteps the bounds of
common sense.
The American woman Is intense, she
is generally In a hurry, she Is thorough
ly I'm earnest; life Is real she chants
life Is earnest, and Herewith she pro-
ceeds to make it hectic; If she Is in
society she means to be up at the head
of the procession; II she is a wife and
mother she too often kills herself serv-
ing her husband and children and TAX
ing care of her home If she is on the
intellectual order of women she over
studies and reads herself into nervous
prostration If she Is an ambitious bust
ness woman she is so dead In earnest
that half the time she moves around !
in sort of financial trance.
She certainly does need narcotic, !
something which would force her to re-
lax, to take time to laugh and indulge |
now and then in sweet and whole
some ldleness; so she would be a saner |
and less nervous woman, and conse-
quently more healthy one. But this
has not as yet been discovered
only when she comes to the end of her
strength does she give up, and then this
giving up Is a complete prostratlon.

Managing the workers.

Managing the workers on farm is
a science In itself. 1t is a science that
few have studied sufficiently. Plan
ming out the work so chat it may be
done in the best manner and in the
least time is equivalent to a saving in
dollars and cents. Not only should the
work be properly done and at the right
time, but the time between different
pieces of work should be as small as
possible. Here is point at which
great waste occurs. 1t is like a man
forgetting something at the store and
having to drive back miles to get it. No
man can properly manage a set of
workers without putting some thought
on it. Thinking is not so easy as it
seems. To think in logical manner
requires effort.

Must Raise Many Crops.

Twenty years ago hundreds of North
Dakota 'qrmers bought butter, eggs
and even potatoes and cabbages at the
village stores, but they were not real
farmers, merely wheat raisers. They
depended entirely upon one crop, and
when that failed, distress followed.
James ]. Hill quickly taught them the
folly of that kind of farming, and to-day
the States diversified crops are equal
to those of any other Northern State.
The educational movement was not
that Mr.. Hill had any love for the
farmers then, nor has now, but he had
big railway to feed and was forced
to teach the farmer how to produce the
freight. Now the experiment stations
are carrying on the education COM
menced by Mr.. Hill and are doing it
better

How to Apply Fertilizers.

Should fertilizer be applied in the
hills or broadcast? 1t may not be a
mistake to apply very little over each
hill as a starter" but 1t is better to
broadcast. All fertilizer must be dis
solved before it can be utilized, and
the greater the surface over which it
is spread the more water 1t will re
ceive. The roots of nearly all plants
spread and grow near the surface, and
have as great feeding capacity off from
the plants as near them. To apply fer.
tilizer in the hills is to concentrate it,
and much of 1t will be unused or lost.
The best results are obtained when it
is distributed over the surface and har-
rowed in to be carried down by the
rains.

The fine art OF dressing Is to wear
good clothes and be unmlndful of them.
TO be able to be ''unmindful." one must
feel that all her clothes are in order
and becoming, Then, and then only,
can she forget her appearance entirely.
One idea to be borne In mind In choos-
ing a hat for the hot weather Is that It
shall be some protection to the face. 1t
really is more sensible TO keep what
complexion yoY have than to have to
bother with pastes and washes. The
absurdly small and tilted hats worn
early I'm the season are useless for pro-
tccting the face. The sailor Is still a
favorite and Is being made in lighter
and daintler straws While it con

Experiments In Cultivation.

Deep cultivation Of some crops is
equivalent to pruning the roots. This
is especially the case with corn, which
sends its roots in every direction, close
ments In cultivating show that when
the roots were cut inches, 4 inches
and 6 inches below the surface the in
crease of crops was greatest when the
cultivation was shallow, the greatest
harm being done by deep cultivation at
the last stages of growth of the plants.
The object should be to simply loosen
the top soil when cultivating corn and
to avoid cutting the roots as much as
possible.

AT A PERSIAN TABLE.
Observation-Disclosures
ON"~~O~N@~~~

The new Shah of Persia, according to
recent newspaper article, succeeds to
q most magnificent kitchen, the stoves,
pokers, tongs, and even the coffee-mills
of which are made of solid silver.
What is not of silver is of copper,
heavily gilded. All the dishes, knives,
forks and such utensils are of gold, set
with precious stones. The kitchen it
self is work of art. Its ceiling is of
wondrous lacquer, and its pillars of
marble and onyx. 1t is an apartment
fit for Aladdin's whims rather than a
place of cookery. Mr.. Wills, in Per
STA As 1t Is" gives an account of Per-
sian culinary matters, and also de-.
scribes the beautiful sherbet-spoons Of
the country, which, although not made
of gold or silver, are highly priced.
The meals of the Shah are not social
occasions, and he knows little Of the
benefit of jollity combined with the act
of eating. His breakfast takes place
at II, a solitary meal, the monarch
squatting before fifty dishes or more.
From these he selects a few of the
simplest, and quenches his thirst with
iced sherbets.
Dead silence reigns; the royal but
lers hand the magnificent plates and
bowls without a sound.
Dinner is eaten at in the evening,
and differs from the morning meal in
elaboration and the fact that it is en-
livened by band.
The food is very varied and the cook
ing extravaganza Lambs, roasted whole
and stuffed with almonds, raisins,
dates and pistachio-nuts, and sparrow
and pomegranate soup enter into the
delcacies of the cuisine. Sherbets
are a favorite drink. They are merely
water sweetened and favored with
fruits, and iced.
This sherbet is drunk from large
wooden spoons, delicately carved and
of great value. A man often shows
his wealth in the great variety and
costliness of his sherbet-spoons. They
are made of pear wood, and are from
one to two feet in length, with bowls
which sometimes hold a tumblerful.
The carving is as fine and elaborate
as lace-work, and the wood in places
is cut so thin as TO be translucent. The
bowls are often ornamented with in
An oil with which they
are treated darkens the originally
wood. No two spoons are
exactly alike, and some are real works
of art
The Persian considers a silver spoon
an abomlnation to touch to the lips.
The tiny teaspoons of silver have a
fligree hole in the bowl, and are used
only for stirring.
