MAKE OVER LINEN SUIT.
Last Years Costume viii Do with
Little RemodeIing.

Have you a last years summer SUIT
OF linen, white, tan. or colored. which
needs remodeling? The styles OF this
year differ from those of last year by
but few points. which 1t Is easy to
change.
The latest idea from Paris, and one
which bids fair to take firm hold OF
the American fancy. is using colored
cretonne for trimming. Just a touch
of 1t is sufficient to change an old
style suit to one which is up to date
and nobby.
II your suit is a last summers one,
all you need, probably. is a new set OF
cuffs, with one of the new adjustable
shawl collars which can be put on
and taken off at will. Or, II the coat
has a rundown collar and mannish
revers, cut them of and finish the
front and neck edges with bands OF
the cretonne, and II the skirt needs
new touch or freshening up. finish the
lower edge with a band to match the
coat.
Probably the jacket Of your linen
suit happened to be short and loose.
and has grown tight in the hips. II
so, open up the seams and slash the
coat, both front and back, to the depth
of about six inches, and finish the low.
er edge of the coat with an inch wide
band OF colored linen and run the
bands up along the edges where the
coat has been slashed to finish them.
The appearance OF the coat may be
improved by changing the buttons. Rip
of the old buttons and buy some but
ton molds. Cover with cretonne and
sew on to the coat. Buttons are sewed
to dresses, coats and skirts not only
where they are needed. but also where
they are not needed, and where they
simply serve as trimming.

BEST FORM OF EXERCISE.
Boston Girls Enthusiastic Over the
Use OF DumbbeIls.

There is q good deal OF enthusiasm
lately over dumbbells among the girls
who are always up on the latest for
keeping ones self In good trim. They
say that dumbbells are better than
plain calisthenics without any ap'
paratus, because they give you some.
thing definite to do. These girls have
found 1t a great temptation In the
ordinary exercises simply to wave the
arms and legs about without any par
ticular object. Dumbbell drills are
better than raising chairs with one
finger and standing-on-your-head
stunts, because the average girl can
do them, while she often loses her
courage with the impossible exercises.
In one boarding house in Boston.
where a number Of business girls
live, there Is a dumbbell brigade.
which meets in one Of the girls
rooms every night. Each girl comes
in a kimono and armed with q pair OF
lightweight dumbbells. Then they 60

which one OF the crowd, who used to
be a college girl. learned in the gym.
The girls all say that they are
having little trouble In refltting their
clothing, as a result OF their dumbbell
drill, but they are wonderfully i'm.
proved in figure and carriage since
they began work some weeks ago.
Their five exercises are worth know
ing, especially to girls who are get
ting a bit round shouldered from bend
ing over their desks all winter, so here
they are:
Stand erect with the right foot
slightly in advance. Grasping the
dumbbells firmly. stretch both arms
up as high. as possible. Breathe deep
ly. Rise on tiptoe II you can.
Place the left hand with dumbbell
against the waist. Raise right hand
with dumbbell over the head. Bend
the head and upper part Of body to the
right. Reverse the motions and repeat
them several times. This exercise
gives fiexibility to the waist; also
lengthens and tapers 1t.
First, stand erect. Then bring the
upper part of the body forward, the
arms holding the dumbbells extended
Let the head drop forward. Inhale
deeply. Then with slow exhalations
all the while bring the body to an up
right position.
With dumbbells grasped tightly
stretch both arms upward horizontally
Bend the arms at the elbows, and
bring the dumbbells back to the shout
ders with a quick and very strong mo
ton.
Clutch the dumbbells tightly and
bring them vigorously down against
the waist. Then thrust both arms
down, then out. then up with at least
O dozen repetitlons. After each move
ment, return the hands and dumbbells
to the first position at the waist line
OF course, one should be careful Ia
use only light dumbbells and to avoid
the temptation to create knotty mus
cles..-Boston Herald.

WHERE THE FARMER WINS.
No Mistake Made When He Gives Lots
of Room to Hens.

The cheapest eggs, like the cheap
est butter and cheese, are made by
the man with plenty Of land. The

care of his poultry and to marketing
the product need not fear the compe'
tition Of the village lot and the city
backyard. The farmer lays out no
money for fancy buildings or fences

for themselves what the town poultry
keeper has to buy at much expense,
only to find his flock surely losing VI
tally after a year or two In close
quarters. Yet some farmers continue
to throw away their advantage by
treating their pens as II farm land
sold at about 81 foot. Thus on one
farm the rs pure bred hens brought
in over $500, or just about the same
as the seven cows on the farm, yet
the farmer grudged the hens the
small half.acre they received out OF
the go. With two acres set with fruit
trees. says the American Cultivator,
the hens and chickens would have
done still better and the cows scarcely
have known the difference.

Many poor soils. now waste spots on

farmer Is fortunate whose land has
no poor spots. Few landowners are

fairly profitable. but the gravel bars,

Scarcely one of them need remain un.

Studies OF various regions and trees
that suit them have been made by the
forest service ut Washington. Results
and conclusions have been published,
and may be had for the asking. The
aim of these studies has been to point
out how the farms waste and neg
lected corners may be turned Into
woodlots where the farmer may grow
his own posts, poles. fences and saw
logs.
II is decidedly worth while to keep

Farmers Review. The owner pays

the forest does for the soil what le

HOW TO TAN SHEEP SKINS.
Method Of Handling Them 80 az to
Fit Them for Home Use.

The Country Gentleman gives this
method of tanning sheep skins which
any farmer could easily follow In tan
ming the skins wanted for home use:
Wash the hide in warm water. re-
move all fieshy matter from the inner
surface and loose dirt from the hair
side. Now wash in strong, rather
warm soapsuds. The old.time soft
soap made from wool ashes Is best.
Either rub by hand or gently on wash
board. As soon as Thoroughly
cleaned and rinsed, press as much OF
the water out as possible. Add the
following mixture to the flesh side:
Common salt and ground alum, one
fourth ounce each, and one-haif ounce
of borax dissolved in one quart OF not
water. When sufficiently cool to work
with the hand add enough rye meal
IN make a thick paste. Spread the
mixture on the flesh side; fold and let
n remain in q shady, airy place for
two weeks; remove the paste and
wash. When nearly dry scrape the
f,esh side thoroughly with dull
knife; rub with the hands until skin
a soft and pliable.

KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION.
No Time Of Year When They Should
Be Let Run Down.

When? Right now-to-day and to-
n'orrow and all the time till It comes
time to let the cattle out to pasture.
Sometimes we may get a little care
less about this. So many men say:
What hurt does ii do to let the cows
go with scant rations for few weeks
in winter? By-and-by they will go out
to pasture and then they can gain up
again. II will not cost so much to
get them in good flesh then as It
would now, and feed costs so in win
teri"
or course feed costs. That is a
foregone conclusion. II we keep
stock, however, ought we not to be
repaired to do the fair thing by IT.?
There are some of the best reasons
why, from our own standpoint, We
should do this. One of these is, that
If we turn the cattle out in spring
poor and weak It will take so long
TO get them up in good shape to do
heir best that we shall lose more
than we shall gain by scrimping now.
We are learning that cattle are sure
to take the feed we give them IL they
are lean and in poor rig and lay 1t on
their backs, first Of all; then after
they are In good condition they will
apply the surplus to the milk.pail. 1t
Is always the surplus that we get
And there will be no surplus II we
keep our cows just on the verge OF
hunger.
The Farmers Voice well says that II
is the COW which has been kept well
that puts the money in our pockets
Cows poorly treated are our farm
charges, to be maintained at the cost
of what the best COWS do. There
should be no such charges; every COW

HeAves cAuo-p BY HAY.
Veterinarian Cautions Against Too
Heavy Feeding.


A noted veterinarian Of Canada
says that one full feed per day of
hay is enough for a horse; that be-
cause the work horses are busy IN
crop time they only get one full feed
of hay every "a hours, but in the win
ter are frequently allowed to stand
and eat all day. He says that q horse
to be in perfect health should have
the stomach emptied, of the previous
meal for two or three hours before he
is given another. If such is not the
case, digestion will not take place In
a perfect manner, and disease is likely
to result. There is remarkable sym
pathy between the stomach and the
lungs, because of the fact that the
same nerve trunk supplies nerve force
to both organs. When the stomach
is deranged from improper feeding the
lungs are liable to become sympa-
thetically affected and beaves often
result. Care should also be taken that
horse should be fed no dusty or
musty hay This dust Is as light as
air, and the horse in breathing draws
1t right into the lung tissue with every
breath, and this substance, being an
lrritant, is very prone to develop the
heaves. If no better hay can be OBJ
tanned, the dust should be laid by
sprinkling with water, when the horse
will not breathe IT, but will be swal
lowed with his feed and probably dc
him no harm; but when at all possible
only bright, clean hay, free from dust
should be fed to horses. Again nc
horse is In fit condition for active ex
ercise with a stomach distended with
hay, because the stomach situated as
IL Is right behind the lung space, Il
full, bulges forward into the chest tS
such an extent that the lungs have ne
room TO properly expand. and canno
perform their functions properly; ant
anything that intsrferes with the func
ton Of the lungs predisposes TO heaves
In many cases II farmers would fee'
one-third less hay to idle horses in thu
winter months they would come cut II
the spring in better condition.
