Something New in
 Line of Amusement

The invitations were ornamented with flock of wild geese flying madly over the page and the words were: Come to Beverly Farm on Tuesday at half after eight"
 Every one receiving this unique message was filled with curiosity as to what the proceedings would be. When all had arrived the hostess had a slip of paper for each one on which was written the first direction; of course each one was different.
 One said "Go look under the um. brella jar" There was slip under it that said: "To walk through the hall into the music room and look at the pedals of the piano." To them was at tached the message: '.In the Indian basket at the top of the stairs you will find your reward" There was a souvenir or favor for each one. In fact, there were duplicates, and when a man and a woman found the same they were partners for supper. It may easily be seen how jolly this affair may be if the hostess uses plenty of ingenuity in the planning of the "chases." The guests entering into it will have loads of fun, as they encoun- ter each other following out the diff ferent instructions. This scheme is practical in pairing couples for cards or in any game where partners are necessary.

 "As soon as Bitters had recovered from his surprise he started after the wolf again. But without his balloons he was just an ordinary, rather heavy dog when it came to running. The wolf simply played tag with the out ragged Bitters, until Jedekiahs pet abandoned the hunt in disgust and sadly returned home. AS soon as Jedekiah saw the remnants of the bal looms he knew what had happened.
 Never mind, my abused and faith full assistant said Jedekiah, consoling- ly, I'll get some new balloons for you. In future you will know enough to keep away from fames.'
 "But when Jedekiah tried to put two other balloons on Bitters tho abused dog backed away, growing and snarling and showing his teeth. Bal looms might go with other dogs, but as for Bitters, it was evident that he was through with them. At last Jeoe- kiah gave up the attempt in despair.
 Talk about burnt child dreading fire,' said the old man sadly, 1t isn't circumstance to the way singed dog will sidestep toy balloons.''

Cabbage. Onions and Peas.

Put out the cabbage plants, so you can have fine fresh cabbage, hard headed ones, early next spring. There is no secret about putting them out. Only, leave the land rich, and we'll prepared. Have your rows (for early varieties) two and a half feet apart. Drill in the rows about 800 pounds per acre of mixture of per cent phosphoric acid and per cent potash, no ammonia. Bed with two furrows, and set the plants from 15 to IS inches apart on the north side of the ridge, near the bottom of the ridge say two-thirds of the way down the ridge. The ridge protects the plants from the cold winds, and being on the north side they do not start to grow ing so readily during warm days to be killed by the later cold.
 Then there are onion sets that can be put out now, and toward the last of the month marrow-fat peas can be sowed. There are many things that can be done in the garden this month that will add to the comfort of the family next spring.

Hair Is Now Dressed
 in Many New Ways

The hair is now being dressed with less width from side to side and more height in the center, hint particu- larly valuable to the moon-faced girl, who ought not to increase the width Of her face by puffing her hair out unduly above her ears
 Fascinatingly pretty as the curl Is, it is by no means surprising that it should maintain it's supremacy, though it need not be the sole motif of a chevelure design. Puffs and the plait are mingled in elegant confusion, and the wave that is required is the heavy Marcel ondule
 Girls of about 16 who have not yet reached the age of putting their hair up are wearing 1t parted and caught together in festoons or curtains upon the brow, to use an old-fashioned ex- pression in connection with this form of dressing.
 In some cases the hair is plaited at the back and looped in the nape of the neck beneath a huge ribbon bow, black for the blonde girl, and cholo- late for the nut-brown maid. Other wise the front hair is drawn to the back beneath the restraining infiu- ence of comb and the tresses are al- lowed to flow carelessly over the shoulders.
 Individual fancy is able to run riot this winter over any number of pos sible decorations for the hair. There are beautiful combs being sold at all prices, from those of dark or blonde tortoiseshell powdered, latticed and festooned with diamonds to the Span ish ones that are so fashionable damascened in gold upon Toledo steel.
 At night wreatns of skeleton leaves in gold, silver or steel make a very pretty decoration, and the large single gold or silver rose with foliage to match is justifiably patronized on &C., count of it's beauty and it's becoming attributes to women of all ages.
 The softly. waving plume of cut os- trich and marabout is as popular as ever for evening wear, and just lately there has arisen a tendency for wear ing long brush or comet aigrettes pointing downwards from behind the ear to the crown of the shoulder, in- stead of upwards, as the former manner was.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE
HILL LAND AND THE BARRY.
Hills Too Steep to Cultivate Should Be Turned Into Grazing Grounds.

In the south today there are many hills being plowed that should be in grass. It is reported that an old negro advertised bottom land for sale; and when the would-be buyer called to look at the land he found nothing but hill land from which all the soil had been washed off He was indig- nant and exclaimed: You advertised bottom land!"
 "Yas, sah," replied the aged negro, "it shuah am. De tops all done gone, and dat leaves just de bottom, land"
 There are many thousands of acres of that kind of bottom land on south ern hills, and there will be many thousands more if radical changes in farm practices are not inaugurated. By gradually blowing deeper while gradually filling the soil with vege- table matter through the use of ami of soil-improving crops, some of the washing could be prevented. Of course, terracing and hillside ditch ing should be done in large number of cases, so as to carry the water down gradually and keep it from rushing down and carrying the soil with it. But even if all these things were done-and they are not one time in twenty when they are needed many hills would still be worth more in p111t Cultivated crops might do well for a short .1ne, but the heavy southern rains would gradually carry off the best part of the land, till only the old negro's kind of bottom land remained. Then very poor cultivated crops could be got; and the pasture that could be got from the land in that condi- tion would be so poor that a dairy COW would travel over so much land trying to get enough to eat that she could not give much milk.
 Southern farming is suffering from many drawbacks, but from none more than from poor pastures in section that would grow luxuriant pasturage large part of the year if the right pasture grasses were used-that is, grasses suited to the soil of the farm, to the climate, and to the shade or sunshine where the grasses were to grow.
 A good pasture on hill land, whether wooded or free from timber, will be good for one who has anything to pasture; but the dairyman will be one especially who can use such land so as to get good returns from it. Small patches of land that require one-third of the time spent in the field to be used in turning and that also have much waste land along the borders of the small fields can not be used for cultivated crops with much advantage. Southern farmers must manage in way that shows they ap- preciate the fact that labor is expen- sive and must be used so as to bring good returns for the time spent. This is impossible in small patches. La Dor also costs too much to use it in cultivating poor land. Large blocks of land that are fertile is where money is made easily.

wolf hunting game. He used to track the wolves with dogs, and then when the wolf was cornered shoot it. But there was one part of the business he looked on with growing distaste, and Sthat was the fact that Jedekiah Will Hams had to do considerable trudgfng through the woods to capture eacn wolf
 "sDogs being the natural enemies of wolves,' Jedekiah said thoughtfully to me one day, it seems as if there ought to be some way in which they could be taught to kill the wolves and bring the bodies back home In that way the time I spend blithely chasing over hills and dales after big gray wolves might be devoted to the ad- vancement of the human race, or at any rate to the comfort of Jedekiah Williams. And there would be good money in it for me- he added, pen sively
 You have no call to blame your poor dogs told him. They're will ing to catch wolves and bring the bodies home. The trouble is that the dogs that can run fast enough to catch a wolf aren't strong enough to kill one, while the fighting dogs that could kill wolf can't catch one.'
 While Jedekiah and I were dis cussing the problem, Bitters came strolling up. Bitters was cross be- tween bulldog and wolf-hound When it came to a fight Bitters was in class all by himself. But he was too heavily built to be much good as hunting dog, unless a wolf had been cornered so it couldn't run away. Then Bitters would sail in and give an example of how the strenuous life ought to be led. And when he had finished his lesson it was a case of an- other job for some wolf undertaken. Jedekiah looked at Bitters in a sad dened sort of way.
 "'That noble creature has the jaws and the disposition to carry out my 1abor-saving, wolf-killing scheme said Jedekiah, but. his body is too heavy for his legs. If Bitters was only a sprinter he could make things inter- cStiuS loT Iuc COyoSI anu uuUSC TGllT- ing wolf in the north woods

Cause of Milk Fever,

One of the most general causes of milk fever which attacks COWS from 6 to AS hours after calving is the carelessness of many farmers and dairymen in milking the cows udder out clean just before or after calving, which allows the glands of the udder to flop together, which irritates the glands and causes the fever. Nature places an abundance of milk in the udder at this time for the above pur- pose, and only part of it should be drawn at once, repeating it frequent ly, as the milk serves to keep the udder distended and full, and acts like the air treatment does.-Cor. Practical Farmer.

In your planning be sure to provide for enough feed for home con- sumption before laying out for the cotton and other so-called money crops. With corn close to 90 cents and oats nsasiy 70 cents per bushel, and hay in proportion, it is time for the southern farmers to grow these crops in abundance.

An old wolf may not under stand all the principles of chemistry, but he has knowledge of the world that amounts to the same thing It was an undue contempt for the intel ligence of wild creatures that plucked the laurels from the brow of Bitters, old Jedekiah Williams famous hunt ing dog. -
