much should be written about
plowing; though on account of
the weather, there is usually not
great deal of plowing done in
January. However, the advice
here given will keep and hold
good whenever the plowing can
be done.
PLAN FOR LOTS OF CoRN-THERE's s
A REASON.
II planning the crops for the
year, too much Importance can
not be attached to the advisa.
bility of planting enough in corn
and other food crops for home
consumption. With corn now sell
ling at prices ranging, according
to locality, from seventy to nine
ty cents a bushel, it should not
be hard matter TO get the wide
awake farmer 10 plant enough to
supply home consumption. Es-
pecially is this true, when there
is possibility that cotton will
sell for lower price next fall
than il is now bringing. | say
this because the statement is made
that so per cent of the cotton
mills have recently curtailed
production. If this is allowable
in the face Of a sho-G cotton
crop, as we now have, how much
more certain would it be with a
arger crop?
SAVE ALL THE MANURE POSSIBLE.
Keep the stable lot we'll litter
ed with leaves and straw for the
stocks sake and for the lands
sake. A load of manure in the
stable is worth more to the far
mer than a sack of fertilizer at
the factory. There is a great
deal more in stable manure than n
mere plant food. 1t contains myr-
lads of bacteria that in some way
unknown to the average farmer
break down and liberate plant
food in the soil, which make il
of far more value than CONNER
cial fertilizer containing an equal
amount of plant food. Save all
the manure possible. If it does
not lessen the fertilizer bill it
will increase the crop produc-
ton.
On days when neither plow.
Ing nor other work can be done.
II they are convenient to the
field, it will pay to haul rotted
leaves and throw directly on the
land. The fertiizing value will
justify the hauling and the or
ganic matter added to the soil
will also be Helpful.

SPRING.

HER FIANCE DRINKS.
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear MarSery doom.
1 wish you would tell me just what
to do to keep the love of my fiance,
He used to be very devoted to me, but
now he seems to pay little attention TO
my wishes. He drinks q great deal,
in spite of the fact that 1 lave begged
him not to. Do you think this is a
sign he does not care for me? He Is
very fine in other ways. Is it safe 10
marry a heavy drinker? I have never
seen him intoxicated, but have often
heard that he was, and he admitted it.
Will wait a%nXiously for o IL answer,
ENGAGED GIRL.
He may love you a great deal, but
l think you would be risSing much in
marrying him while he is under the
control of the drink habit, Ii it lies
in your power to cure him of his
fondness for alcoholic drinks, you must
do so now. l am not a believer in the
idea that a woman can reform a man
by marrying him. Talk to him and
tell him Just how seriously you regard
his failing.

Why not purchase three yards OF
linen cambria for the new shirt waist?
1t will cost about 35 cents a yard and
one dressy style for f%ashioning it could
be similar to a tailored effect for a
linen waist. Make the back plain, hav-
ing a slight fulness at the waist line.
The front should be laid with one
broad plat down the center, finished
with four pearl bullet buttons on each
side. on the shoulders form alternate
rows of one inch plaits, divided with
groups of pin tucks, a group one
inch wide. For such a waist the bishop
sleeves are the best possible style, and
the cuffs should be moderately deep
with rounded points, the collar a dupli-
cate patterns with rounded points. n
choice of a jabot or bow is optional,
though something in white is always
dressy.

THE CHILD'S DREAM.
BY OLGA KUSSY, AGED 10.

~ nee there lived a little girl whose
~ mama was Oracle. On a certain
day she took her faVorite doll,
Ellen, and went for a walk with her to
the park. When they had arrived at
a seat under a big elm tree, Oracle
sat down. and in a short time fell fast
asleep. And while asleep this was what
she dreamed:
Ellen, the doll, seemed to grow larger
while she grew smaller, until finally the
doll arose and picked Oracle up and
carried her to the dollhouse.
All on the dolls then began to curl
her hair, wash her face and put a red
silk dress on her. Then they escorted
her to the dining-room of the little
house where they all sat down to lunch.
What a feast was spread for the doll
folk! There was cake and candy, APP
pies and oranges and everything that
one could wish for or think of. After
the lunch was finished they all began
to talk, and Just as one of the dolls
was going to make a speech Oracle

hair brush to scrub with. This will re-
move all the soap and not a few of the
blaekheads will come out with it. Dry
the face and massage with a good cold
cream. Repeat every night until the
blackheads have disappeared. This same
treatment will cure the pimples.
There are many patent corn cures. but
the best cure is to go to a good chiropo-
dist and have the corn removed. That
is the most permanent cure.

Hldllell Gei1ONal VI Sdilt. Is II pam
full, and does it scar? Any informa-
ton will be appreciated. BY simply

will oblige HENRIETTA.
Electric treatment is the only per
manent cure l know of for su%perfiuous
hair. 1t is painful. If the operation
is performed by a reliable person there
should be no scar. 1t is only when a
'bungler" does the work that scars
are left. If you are thinking of having
such work done, employ only the mos
~skillful specialist to do it. BY paying
a person who understands the work
it will be cheaper in the end.

The reason so many persons think
dainty sandwiches are a nuisance to
make is that they have neither the right
kind of bread nor the proper knives to
cut it with.
When making sandwiches in quanti-
ties it is much better to have a long
square loaf with a perfectly even,
smooth crust. The grain should also
be close as the porous bread is more
apt to break.
Such a shape permits the slice to be
cut diagonally to make two t%riangles or
it can be divided into three strips for
oblong sandwiches.
Some people cut off the trusts before
slicing the bread, but unless it is a day
old it is more apt to break than If the
crusts are not removed until the sand
wich has been made.
A long, thin knife blade kept very
sharp is essential if the edges of the
sandwich are TO look clean cut. When
shaped cutters in the form of circles,
stars or crescents are used, they should
never be allowed to get dull.
Always butter the bread before cut
ting 1T from the loaf. Have butter
fresh and slightly soft, so it spreads
quickly. Do not use too much of it, but
always put it on both slices of bread.
Fit slices evenly together. If the
square loaf is used this is an easy mat
ter; with an irregular loaf care is need
ed to put opposite sides together or
there will be waste in shaping.
