Another championship series for a purse
of 500 will begin tomorrow afternoon at
$50 on the island between Company

The Farm Water Supply.

The first essential is to procure pure water for our farms. and the second is to keep it from becoming contaminat- ed. Therefore in locating new well place it at safe distance from the barnyard and have it pumped by means of a small windmill and forced to the barn or house. This can be arranged at q comparatively small cost. and it will be found to be ole of the greatest comforts on the farm not only from sanitary point of view but also as great saving of labor.
 Another method of getting I water supply of which many farms might avail themselves is by means of ly- drauIic ram. AaH one who las 8 spring with a falI within q reasonable distance can have a ram installed and force the water I long distance and also raise it considerable height de pending OF tha faIl at the spring American CuItiVater

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Dat Straw as Food For Stock.

Oat straw is the only kind of straw that can be bene1cially used as food, and it is acceptable to stock. says American Cultivator
 Moldy straw. like other moldy stuff, is repulsiye and injurious as food, but a clean. sweet sample of oat straw is very seductive and will be preferred to much of the material that is collect ct as hay from poor pastures. Ii is q great saving To the hay. Horses are very partial to ont straw. Cows relish it greatly as part of their mixed ra- tfons during the winter. and cattle can often be maintained on it as their on,g fodder in severe weather or when grass is scarce.
 For horses and cows it may be chopped and mixed at the rate Of half hay and half straw, and some @o far ther and give nearly all straw to save the hay. Sheep are the only stock that do not seem at home with it, but the quantity of hay they eat is never very great

The turndown embroidered collar is all per vading and is worn with all kinds of waists-taffeta. crepe de chine, chiffon or lingerie as the case may be. There is an endless variety in these collars Some are of the finest. sheerest linen lawn, with most exquisite embroidery and edged with narrow yalenciennes lace, and where the edges meet in front there is tie or stiff bow, the daintiest thing imaginable These col lars are not so stiff as the heavier linen, but the latter are certainly at tractiye and have both openwork and heavy embroidered designs. and the edges are scalloped To wear with these are dainty tie bows and jabets Prettiest of all are the plaited ties on the order of those worn by Presbyte. rian ministers of olden times,
