formed a good amount of bone and
muscle for framework, and are in a
condition to fatten rather than to
grow. Those that have been grown on
pasture are better fitted for the work
than those that have been confined
in pens, as they are more active, and
have had more experience in gathering
food for themselves. They, therefore,
eat corn more readily and require less
amounts of expensive mill feed. Shoats
of this weight may be expected to gain
about IA pounds daily. In 60 to 70
days of feeding they should gain ap-
proximately 80 pounds.
Hogs weighing from 200 to 240
pounds almost always bring good
prices 1t is not unreasonable then
to expect to start with pigs that weigh
from 10 to 140 pounds. If farrowed
in early April, pigs will make these
weights by September 10.
Old brood sows that are thin in flesh
fatten up very quickly when turned
into a field A few weeks on early
varieties of corn will usually permit
such sows to be marketed early or be-
fore it would be possible following the
common method of feeding.
While eating corn in the field hogs
require a great deal of clear water.
They grow and thrive better when
they have it, and some means of sup
plying it to them fresh, and in large
Quantities must he nrOVided When in
the field, hogs do not come up and
drink ia 3Aoves as they do in the
yards, therefore, it is necessary to
keep water before them continually.
When fields adjacent to the farmstead
are used, hogs can be brought up to
the yards and watered or fed slop as
usual; where fields remote from the
farmstead are used, the simplest way
is to fill several barrels or casks with
water and haul them by team on a
stone boat CT other conveyance to the

the fact remains that the woman who
lacks the correct clothes to make a
successful appearance on her vacation
seldom extracts real pleasure from her
outing.
A few things we'll chosen and strict
ly up to date mean more to the vaca-
zionist than trunks filled with all sorts
of flimsy frocks refurbished from last
seasons finery, or innumerable new
gowns flung together without much re-
gard for the time, the place or the
figure of the girl who is to wear them.
Fashion is a decided autocrat this
season as to travelling attire, and the
girl who looks trim and up to date
when she arrives at her destination
has half won the battle of popularity
at the hotel.
First and foremost your travelling
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1908-07-23

suit this season must be tailored, a
matching coat and skirt. with a blouse
or shirt-waist which at least suggests
the coloring of the two-piece suit.
If you intend to employ the skirt of
your travelling suit for walking expedi-
lions and general wear with shirt
waists, then by all means cling to the
plated skirt and leave the circular
cut for house dresses only.
The circular skirt. especially, if
made by a home dressmaker to clear
the ground by several inches, is very
apt to sag at the seams, while there is
no excuse for this, and little chance
in the straight, plated Skirt A slim
girl, under 20 or a trifie past that age,
if she retains her gir1ish appearance,
can wear the new skirt which clears
the ground by four inches, but no
matronly woman, or girl, whatever her
age, of opulent curves should attempt
this.
Extreme slenderness alone looks
we'll in the short skirt. And with this
must be worn the smartest of ties and
plain Isle hosiery.
The cutaway coat certainly leads all
Corners for travelling, and even with
the straight front jacket, there is pref
ty sure to be a slight clipping off of
the corners. These coats all show the
long sleeve and very simple trimming
generally braid.
The new travelling hat is quite
small by comparison with those shown
earlier in the season, but a young girl
is justified in wearing a few flowers
on her travelling hat which she covers
with a veil, plain chiffon being best
form for travelling, and brown leading
as a color.
The shirt-waist may match the suit
in soft surah, messaline or pongee silk
or, if a wash waist is desired, a
striped or figured material is chosen
with the stripe or figure matching the
suit.
With a brown suit, a pOngee blouse
in natural tone is worn, or with a dark
blue suit, a blue and white madras
with tie or jabot bound all the way
round with navy blue will be seen.
Some of the newest shirt-Waists are in
white, trimmed with striped material,
applied in the form of bias bands.
A well-gOwned woman this season
does not wear the elbow sleeves in
coat or blouse when travelling. In fact,
word comes from Paris that, save on
the evening gown, dinner frock or
waist for home wear no elbow sleeves
are seen. The long sleeve is worn
whenever a woman steps across her
own threshold.
A most useful travelling coat for the
littlest girl of the family is shown. 1t
can be developed in three-quarter or
full length and in cloth or silk 1t
should be finished in very simple fash
ion with stitching, bias bands Or fat
braid
Never load a child's travelling coat
with embroidery or lace. And if the
weather promises to be very warm
and the trip is not too long, use linen
instead of cloth. These little linen
coats or busters are invaluable for the
youthful traveller

GUIMPES FROM OLD WAISTS.
Good Way to Employ Garments That
Have Become Worn.

Waists which are too small or which
are worn in spots, or waists which
are old fashioned make admirable
guimpes for children's wear under
Jumper CT overhlouse dresses.
The sleeves should be ripped and
the pattern of a child's sleeve laid
out On it and the extra material cut
away. The fronts and backs of the
waist are then cut after the pattern
and the waist is stitched up. A small
straight collar should be sewed on the
waist and a dainty lace edge sewed to
the top of the collar.
A piece of white tape may be
stitched to the waist at the belt line
and a drawstring run through it to
gather it closely to the waist.
If the waist is too plain, several
rows of insertion may be let into it,
to yoke length, and French knots may
be worked to give it more elaborate
air.

New Fashions Observed at Recent

Rumor has it that mere man is

tect his head from the rays Of the

The rumor is confirmed by some
West end shopkeepers, who profess
to have done a good business in the
last few days in sunshades specially
designed for mans use. The shades
are, of course, not the elaborate arti-
Gle used by the lady of fashion, but
the plain, unadorned specimen often
used by man in tropical countries.
At some of the recent race meetings
a few well dressed men have been
bold enough to start the fashion, and

rowed a pretty shade from a fair com
panion was not ashamed to take ad

Bishops Story of Tact.

The late Bishop James Newburn

grow these varieties as it does the
dent and they yield much less. Flint
corn is preferable to sweet corn for
hogs, and field feeding of flint corn
gives better results than where
husked and fed after the corn has
hardened.
One of the great objections in grow
ing flint and other early varieties of
corn has been the difficulty of harvest
ing them. Feeding them off with live
stock eliminates this objection, and it
would seem that they might be grown
and utilized more extensively.
Pigs weighing from 100 to 140
pounds are best suited for field feed

DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

A physician of Wash, D. c., says Of
his coffee experience:
For years l suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes I was
almost frantic. | was sallow, consti-
pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem
DRY was poor, l trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
"My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. | tried many
times to do so, but was it's slave.
\ Finally Wife bought a package of
Postum. and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and | was disguised with the taste.
q make this emphatic because 1 fear
many others have had the same expe-
rience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the di-
rectiOns, made it right, boiled it full
10 minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar, I
liked tit invigOrated and seemed to
nourish me.
This was about year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not sallow.
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
/ have gained 20 lbs. and feel | am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. Of course dropping coffee
was the main thing, but had dropped
it before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substanti-
ated by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.
II write this for the information and
encouragement Of others, and with a
feeling of gratitude to the inventor Of

and particularly the soil and climatic
conditions. Where there is much rain
and the soil is sticky the areas should
probably be limited SO that they can
be cleaned up in 20 days or less. Where
there is but little rain, and the soil is
sandy or gravelly, there is perhaps no
good reason for limiting the amount of
corn beyond that which they can con-
sumo before the end of the season. If
by mismanagement or accident any
part of a field is left unfinished brood
sows or stock hogs may advantageous
ly be used to clean it up, and if the
amount is large, then they should be

London is going mad over the bot
ticelli' hat, and certainly for the girl
with a clear-cut Botticelli face, oval

apology for a brim, and when it is

hat band of the typical "old clo'," to

The variety of corn usually grown in
locality is the proper kind to grow
for hogging off purposes, since it is
probably the best adapted to the local
ity and gives the largest yield. How
ever, getting an early start in the fat
tening process is very advantageous,
and it sometimes happens when pas
ture supplies are short or the early
sale of hogs is desirable, that such a
variety does not mature early enough.
To be prepared for such conditions, it
is well to grow a sufficient amount of
sweet corn or early maturing flint corn
to tide over until the field corn is
ready for use. No more than is suf-
ficient for early fall feeding should be
grown since it costs just as much to
