HANDLING OF GRAIN.
Hints by a Farmer Who Thinks He
Can improve on Present Methods.

Compared with former years. thresh-
ing is an easy matter The wind
stacker and the self-feeder have great
~ reduced the size of the average
threshing gang. The weigher and
sacker are each doing noble work. Yet,
with all these advantages at hand.
not more than half of us farmers
make such use of them that our grain
is handled in the most economical
manner possible, declares a farmer in
Home and Farm.
Threshing directly from the field is
often great time-saver, as it saves
the time used in moving away the
sheaves. But it is in caring for the
grain as 1t comes from the thresher
where most of us lose time. Ordi-
narily it is sacked and carried TO the
granary, requiring five or six men. BY
using an elevator on the separator.
and two tight wagon boxes, one man
can easily care for the same amount
Of grain. If no elevator is at hand.
II takes but two men. Drive the
wagon alongside the machine and lift

rs known as ribbon braid. If you have
the time and the skill 20 to this trou-
Bile, 1t will result in handsome frock;
but good quality OF filet lace serves
well enough for most purposes.
You can use the ribbon braid to
good effect in small quantities at neck
and sleeves. Buy 1t in black and use a
bold design such as a Greek border. or
a wall of Troy or octopus or chrysan-
themum. This ribbon braid .embroi.
derry is quite pretty and seems to have
caught on and become the fashion of
the moment.
In these frocks it is also wise to
adopt the new fashion of a black yoke
and stock instead of a white one
These yokes are made of Mechlin net
which is rather fine with tiny cir
Gle over it. This Is unlined and NAV
be embroidered with either velvet or
ribbon braid
II one must have a touch of white
next the face then make the lower
yoke of the black net, and the upper
Vshaped chemisette with stock of
white lace. Put touch of white lace
in the sleeves in addition to the black
net.
One of the attractive new WAYS of
doing this; that is, of adding white
lace to black on sleeve, is to have
almost straight small sleeve Of the net
run around the arm in tiny tucks
which do not meet, and, therefore,
leave about two inches of fullness down
the center back.
The white lace is used in the three
and four-inch width and is laid around
the back Of the arm with scallops com.
ing forward Another piece is laid
around the bottom of sleeve with seal
lops upward.
These black net frocks must carry d
handsome girdle to be really smart,
but it should be of black satin or taf-
feta, and not in any color 1t is boned,
usually on the waist, giving a wrapped
appearance by being folded irregularly,
and finished at left front with two
loops and long ends. This can be
caught with jet buckle.

DEALING WITH THE CRIMINAL
Grave Problem That Has Ever Been
Before Society.

1t is a novel idea that any man over
so years of age who commits a crime
may be set down, as a rule, to be NOR
ally bad with no hopes of improve
ment. Morality, according to DR..
Belfield who advances the theory,
is the arrest Of the instincts by the
Intellect says the Chicago Journal
child is savage. If he continues
20 improve slowly he has a chance
70 outgrow his tendencies before he
is 80. Ii he does not do so, then he
5 hopeless, and DR.. Belfield thinks
he should either be imprisoned for
life or else put out of the world alto
yether.
Civilization growing more and more
--.>.s sc to capital punishment, will
ever consent to the cemetery outlet
Aas suggested But permanent seq
"aiior in penal colony would be
.f.,y effective We do not go so
q. IS Dr.. Belfield as to believe that a
IN over 80 who commits a crime
is therefore necessarily moral idiot.
enc experience of punishment has
been enough for many men past that
age.
But when man is undeterred by
and goes on committing
one crime after another, then we
think society owes it to its a,f to take
stern measures. Such a man should
be adjudged a habitual and ire
claina5le criminal and removed from
society. But, on the other hand, hon.
est men should not be burdened with
the cost of supporting him. He should
be forced to earn his own living.

The obituary to our lamented de-
ceased fellow townsman, Mr.. Sweyn
Mcleod, which appears in this
issue,-a product of the pen of his
pastor, Rev. A. G. Ferguson of
the Presbyterian Church, possesses
worth apart from the high and
deserving tribute paid the subject
of the eulogy, inasmuch as it con-
tains valuable recitations Of histor-
ic interest connected with the
parsonage of this family; the early
days of the county; and the early
days and organization of the Pres
byterean Church, the county, the
Salem and Vernal High School, in all
of which as Bro. Ferguson cor
rectly writes down, the founders
of the Mcleod family bore cred
liable part. We trust that our
readers will not fail to mark these
cherished facts that are presented in
this obituary, bearing on political,
church and family annals.

Dainty Little Jacket.

Couvre-Pieds of Lace.

Every Partisan "graade dame" owns
a charming square of brocade inter
lined with lambs wool and trimmed
with yards of lace, ribbon and plated
silk or satin. 1t looks like some airy
nothing, merely intended to give the
appearance of complete daintiness to
the boudoir. But it is really useful. 1t
serves to cover the feet when the
weather is cold at night; it does to
keep milady from catching cold during
the afternoon siesta, and at all times
it is an adornment to the room.
1t is, of course, mostly for winter
use, but in summer one sews for win
ter, so why not make such a charming
thing, if not for ones self, then for a
present to some friend? The center,
which is about yard square, is quilt
ed, and hand quilting is beautiful and
not difficult.

The article commendatory in this

usefulness of the HERALD to the

ces it has thrown out, but never

we know it issues from the heart
of one who has watched and patron
lied the paper practically from its
birth; one who thinks as he
