To Pack Flowers.

How to pack flowers without break,
ing or crushing the tender blossoms
has always been question, particular
ly when it is necessary to ship SUCH
fragile examples of horticultural art
as gardenias, camellias and orchids.
A method has been devised where
each separate bloom is tied by a string
or ribbon, preferably the latter, to a
fat piece Of cardboard through which
two holes have been puncheh for each
flower. so that ribbon may pass
through them as a support. Then this
is placed in box and fastened tight,
so that no amount Of Earring can looS-
en- it. Thus the flowers are left lying
in the box and cannot possibly come in
contact with each other or with the
sides of the box. If they are sprinkled
with water before shipping. they will
last three or four days and arrive at
their destination in the best of cOndi.

MUST MATCH SKIRT
DECREE AS TO THE EVER-POPU
LAR JUMPER.
Welcomed by the Woman Of Short Fig
ure-Success of Garment Largely
Depends Upon Its Finish at
the Top.

Few modes have taken a greater
mold upon popular fancy than the
jumper, and this is because it is be.
coming to the majority of women. Pos,
sibly it is not a decided fayorite in
its strictly conventional form, but It
is 50 easily modified that the figure
would indeed be difficult to suit that

If these styles.
The jumpers must match in color
the skirt with which it IS worn. inns
decree of fashion is an advantage to
the average figure, and positive KIND
ness to the short type.
In constructing such a garment it
should be borne in mind that all jump,
er models are not becoming to every
figure, and that the success Of a Jump
er depends almost entirely upon its
finish at the top.
There are some women who are long
from neck to bust and short from this
point to the waist line, though not nee,
essarily short-waisted For such fig
ures the jumper, if cut according to
the pattern, will probably be disap,
pointing when finished, for there
seems to be lack Of balance; the
waist appears to be all yoke. Still
if the jumper is cut higher over the
bust the idea is lost,

MELON BONNET FOR BABY.
Attractive in Aiiover Embroidery with
Valenciennes insertion.

Baby caps are made Of three pieces,
cut like the sides of a circular triangle
and sewn together with fancy stitch
or a strip of lace insertion. Sometimes
the sections over the face and at the
back Of the neck are made Of dotted
Swiss, while the middle section is Of
baby Irish lace In other caps all
three sections are of fine nainsOok, but
the middle section is heavily embroid-
cred. This new style is very becoming
to the baby's head and brings the join
ing of the sections just behind the ear,
so that whatever lace is used as trim
ming will converge toward this point.
A very attractive cap may be made
of allover embroidery, using valen-
ciennes insertion between the sections,
and for very plain bonnets pink linen
may be used, with little hand en-
broidery around the face. This cap
is known as melon bonnet and bids
fair to become the reigning favorite in
Juvenile fashions.

4 band, either self or contrasting,
does not seem TO remedy this Defect
but if the band is made Of fairly
transparent fabric of the same color
as the goods the change will be pretty.
As an instance, take a gown OF red,
blue. brown. etc, dark and perhaps
heavy looking, and head the jumper
with a fourinch band formed from
sUutdche braid arranged diamond or
lattice fashion to ovcrlay the light
yoke. it will be seen that pretty,
harmonious effect has been created by
this simple addition.
This band must be shaped. of course,
and should first be cut from strong
paper The thin goods should then be
scwed to this design and the basting
stitches ripped away when the work
is complete.
Other appropriate materials, such as
baby ribbon velvet or Strappings of
silk. may be used as a decoration,
For the figure that is long from bust
to belt the average jumper suggests a
yoke topping a waist. TO correct this
effect the top Of the jumper may be
cut out more or wide girdle instead
of q narrow one can be used.
The snortwaisted figure must con
tent herself with a lesser display Of
gumpe than the lOnger-Waisted type,
for she needs length.
Her jumper should be cut out in a
long. narrow 'V," and the material on
the shoulders should meet the collar
band, preferably tucked or folded, the
lines being preserved until they lose
themselves in the belt

as well as the short wasted woman,
it will be an Improvement if "N's' are

Care for Your Shoes.

When boots and shoes not in use are
deposited in a damp place they be-
come covered ordinarily with mold,
which attacks the leather; when de-
posted in dry place they become
hard and wrinkled-a fact known to
all, although the remedy may not be.
This double disadvantage may be
avoided if the articles are first rubbed
with a rag on which few drops Of
oil of turpentine have been sprinkled.
The oil of turpentine acts favorably as
a preservative to the leather and is a
deterrent to rats and mice, whose
depredations are often as injurious as
those of temperature.

HOW One May Avoid Book FARMING

HOW One May Avoid Book Farming.
Every now and then We find a far
ner who has a horror Of book farmers.
ana would not for any consideration
De considered by his neighbors az
Snch. We wish to help this fellow, and
therefore make a few suggestions:
First We advise him not to keep
any books for his farm operations.
Simply 20 along from year to year,
taking what you get without knowing
what it costs you. avoiding all accu-
rate knowledge Of what it has cost you
to produce a ton Of hay. a bushel of
wheat or oats, pound Of pork or beef
or butter. Such information as this is
dangerous to the man who is fearful
of being book farmer.
Don't take any agricultural papers.
They, too, are dangerous, for they
might set you thinking. They might
cOntaminate your mind with the result
OF experiment stations or the expert
ence of farmers. If You read any az
riculture paper at all, read one that
somebody has sent you for nothing in
order to get your trade or your patron
age, or for some other reason, honor
able or dishonorable. This will not do
you much harm, but better not take
any at all.
By all means keep away from all
agricultural institutes. Avoid particu-
arly any lectures that have the least
tinge of science. 1t is true that sci
ence is only the application Of com
mon sense to farm operations, and
that 1t only teaches how to obey the
laws of nature; but science smacks of
book farming, and, therefore, every
thing that has the remotest cOnnec-
ton with science should be avoided.
Keep away from farmers institutes.
To further avoid any possible dan
ger of becoming a book farmer try to
find fault with the operations of your
neighbors If your neighbor across
the fence has eighty bushels of corn
this year while you have only forty,
try to explain it in some way that VIII
not be reflection on your own prac'
tice. You might say that this land
was better to begin with, that he was
lucky, or that he happened to plant
Just in the right sign" You can cas-
lily explain his success without giving
any credit whatever to what is known
as book farming. You can also eX'
plain why he raises large litters OF
pigs, or has large yields of milk, or
gets better weight and better prices
for his steers. Cultivate the DISPOSE
ton to find fault, and criticize in every
way possible.
II these directions are followed, we
will guarantee that the man who tot
lows them will not be regarded as a
book farmer-Wallace's Farmer.

Homegrown feed is large element
of success in running a dairy.
1t is better to have small dairy,
all paid for, than to have one all bur-
dened with debt, however large it is,
and however we'll appointed.
It is never safe to go into debt. 1t
is better to buy small and then en-
large. To cut the garment according
to the size of your cloth is safe old
adage.
The covered pail is SO much better
than the open pail that the extra
amount of trouble should not be con-
sidered a hardship.
To do work by guess in The dairy is
TO invite failure. The processes are
so scientific that any variation makes
variations in the results.
