are wide enough so you can drive
through them with wagon or manure
spreader. The horse stable has double
stalls ten feet wide and Is feet from
inside of manger to the wall. This,
together with the fact that the doors
are eight feet wide, enable you to get
out with your team very easily. The
size of the structure is 35x3S feet, with
hay NOW over the lower floor. The
caves are six feet affording more than
usual protection 10 the outside of the
building. The accompanying plan,

STRAWBERRIES AS A COSMETIC.
Properly Used, II Is Probably the
Best of All.

The strawberry, properly used, is
the best known cosmetic. 1t clears
the system, cleanses the skin. takes
off spots, removes freckles and gives
the complexion that charmingly pretty
glow which all lovers of beauty ad-
mire. 1t can be taken internally and
applied externally, and in either case
it is excellent.
An ideal beauty breakfast is a pint
of strawberries with plenty of sugar,
but with no cream or milk, eaten with
toast or bread.
A berry mashed and applied to the
face will, IL it is left for half an hour,
remove even the most obstinate spots.
At the end of half an hour the juice
must be washed off with hot water
Strawberry juice rubbed into the
arms and hands will whiten them
marvelously.
For those who are too fair to use
the plain strawberry juice, the fol-
lowing complexion bath will serve the
same purpose:
Take half a cup of ripe berries and
squeeze the juice into basin. strain
ing it through cloth. To the juice
add pint Of boiling water and a cup
of red vinegar. This makes an ex.
cellent bath for the arms and hands
and is exquisite for the face, although
none must be allowed to get in the
, eyes. The cheeks and forehead can
be daubed with the wash without get
ting any in the eyes.

The Evening Wrap.

Evening wraps, so says fashion, are
to be more wonderful than ever All
colors are to be used and the mate
rials are to be of the softest quail
ties. Especially beautiful are the in
terlined pongee wraps, these mostly
coming in the natural color and hav-
Ing Innings of the gayest of silks. A
gorgeous evening cloak, improvised
from Japanese silk and handsomely
embroidered in oriental flowers and
designs, was observed in one of New
York's most popular cafes. The cloak
was long, almost completely covering
it's wearer's gown and was made with
pointed mandarin sleeves and pointed
hem. Another lovely evening wrap Is
made from soft black satin and
trimmed with bands of oriental or
Dresden silk. This gives quite Jap
anese effect and is exceptionally serv-
iceable.

Beauty Diet.

Begin the day with a teaspoonful
Of grated carrots to brighten the eyes,
and a good breakfast. For luncheon
eat plentifully of watercress, dande-
lion, lettuce, carrots and spinach, for
they are complexion beautifiers. Dur
ing the summer months eat sea foods,
lamb and young poultry. Avoid heavy
meats. Eat largely of fruit salads and
light vegetables. Upon retiring par
take of thin sandwich of bread and
butter with thinly sliced onion be-
tween two lettuce leaves, which will
relax the nerves and induce refresh
ing sleep.
The following formula to soften wa
ter is most excellent for improving the
complexion, giving that soft velvet ap-
pearance so much admired: Half an
ounce of California borax, three
ounces of fine oatmeal, three ounces
almond meal, one ounce Of powdered
orris root. Mix together and tie Sc
curely in a cheese cloth bag. Drop
into the bowl of water when required

THE GOOD SCRUB.
Fine Her Out and Then Keep Her and
Breed from Her.

1t would be a good thing II we had
a system of testing the scrub cows
that are good mixers. IL is a fact
that every farmer understands that
here and there in the multitude of
scrub cows is a milk COW of great
value, and a COW, too, that seems to
have the ability to pass her large milk
Ing qualities down to her progeny.
1t is too bad that any good milking
strains should pass from the land. 1t
must be remembered, says the Farm
ers' Review, that all the present
breeds came out Of the great mass of
cattle, and that there was time when
all cattle were scrubs. The possibili.
ties that we have discovered and de-
veloped in the selected breeds existed
in the undeveloped breeds and some of
the large milking strains are to be
found in the cows that are without
pedigree. Moreover, many of these
scrub cows have in them the blood of
the improved breeds.

HORSES eoLTINo GRAIN.
Several Reasons Why They Get Habit
How to Cure Them.

When horse bolts his grain the
first step should be to see that his
teeth are in proper order, as sharp
points or other Irregularities may be
making It impossible for him properly
to masticate his grain, and may easily
be set right by judicious use of the
veterinary rasps sold for the purpose.
NexS * is important that the horse
should be allowed a sufficient length
OF time In which comfortably and
properly TO masticate his food. If he

as the habit comes from hurry aHd
hunger. In addition to allowing am
pie time for grain eating discourage
bolting by feeding the grain from a
box with very wide bottom, so that
II will be thinly distributed, under
which circumstances the horse will
find It impossible to crab full mouth
full to be bolted unmasticated. Put.
ting some cobblestones in the feed box
also helps to prevent bolting. and an
other excellent plan suggested by the
Rural New Yorker is to mix some hard
peas, horse beans or even shelled
corn with the oats, as the horse will
chew well to enjoy the flavor OF the
added grains, and incidentally grind
his oats thoroughly. The objection to
feeding sheaf oats in place of oats
is that a horse has a small stomach.
the capacity of which is but three ara
one-half gallons or thereabout, so
that he needs concentrated food in
small quantities often when at hard
work. Oats have to be fully masticat-
ed In the mouth, where they are
drenched with the saliva, which acts
upon the starchy matters. The oats
then pass TO the stomach, where they
remain for hours for full action OF the
gastric juice, which acts upon the pro-
iein constituents; then tho partially
digested food passes slowly along the
many feet of small intestines, after
meeting the digestive fluids of the
duodenum, and gives up most of its
nutrients to the absorbent organs
during the journey to the large intes.

fodder, after partial mastication in the
mouth, pass quickly through the
stomach and are stored in the large in.

force the grain out of the stomach un-
digested. Theoretically horse should
therefore be fed hay irst and theI
oats or other concentrates, and as wa,
ter passes through the stomach to the
caecum 1t should be given always
before feeding.

AN EASILY MADE TRIMMING.
Marrow Bands of SILK or Satin, with
Fringed Borders.

A dainty handmade trimming for
the new frock may be made from mar.
row. bias bands of silk or satin, with
a fringed border of drops in the same
material.
The bands should not he more than
Il quarter of an inch wide finished,
and the whole trimming. dots and all,
should measure about an inch.
Cut the bands a true bias an inch
wide, fold it in the center, then turn
in each edge so it meets in the
middle. Blind stitch the outer edges
together.
The balls are made from tiny round
pieces of the silk less than an inch in
diameter. A thread is run around
the outside and the edge is shirred
up over a bit of cotton.
These drops are attached to the
bands by short threads of twisted en-
broidery silk in the same shade, the
ioinings being neatly hidden in the
edge Of the band.

The live stock industry is one of

comparatively cheap and hence will

kline of farming Is carried on In con.
