other things that no normal boat is ex-
pected to accomplish.
Though new to the United States
this queer craft has been in use for
ten years or more in Canada and there
are now 80 of the same type being
operated in the lumber regions of the
northwest. The type is called "alli-
gator" because of it's peculiar crawl
ing motion, it's ungainliness and its
ability to travel both On land or wa
ter. The motive power is in the boat
itself. The alligator is a steam boat
and a steam winch combined. The en-
gine drives the paddle wheels like an
ordinary boat, if desired, or when a
land journey is necessary the power is
applied to drive a cable drum located
in the bow of the boat which holds a
three-eighths-inch steel cable used in
warping the craft upon the bank and
across the land space which is to be
traversed. Land travel is provided for
by two steel runners on the bottom of
the boat six feet apart, and a block
and tackle contrivance which is op-
Grated by means of the cable drum.
To guard against tipping the boiler is
of special design and is suspended on
an axle in the center. screw on the
front 0nQ enables the uTouldu 10 ZIP
it forward or backward according to
whether the boat is going up or down
hill. The craft will take a grade of
one foot in three without difficulty.
The boat can make between one and
two miles a day on land, but travels
considerably faster on water.
The hull, which is scow shaped,
measures As feet in length and IL feet
beam, and carries 22-horse power
boiler and 2O-horse power engine.
The deckhouse is fitted with sleeping
accommodations. The boat is de-
signed for strength and power rather
than grace, and is said to be the best
type of boat ever used in the lumber
regions of the northwest. Several "alli-
gators" now are being built for use in
the forests of South America, and it is
believed they will be found very sue
cessful as habitation and means of
transportation for explorers in the
tropical jungles.

square For ordinary use these should

work is an abomination upon napery
of any quality-and be decorated in
one corner with the embroidered
initial of the hostess. The large nap
kins should be of a matching quality
and pattern and similarly finished,
and for the buffet, serving table and
the larger of the waitress trays there
should be corresponding oblongs.
Mexican and japanese drawnwork
are much in demand as finishing for
napery, and, done by specialists on the
finest of Irish linen, is at its best in
floral effects, in fans and in Maltese
crosses. These same patterns are
used to decorate buffet scarfs, center
pieces and doilies, and may quite
properly be used in connection with
simpler sets of table linen.
For an informal luncheon a damask
cloth has wide band of conventional
lied pomegranates with green leaves

to deep orange. The centerpiece, a
dainty crystal vase encircled by grape
fruits and mandarins, wreathed in
leaves, among which are seen a be-
wildering mass of brilliant nastur-
tiums. The china with design of
nasturtiums is also charmingly in
keeping with the rest-Vogue
Every housekeeper of every class
and color takes wondrous pride in her
assortment of napery and loses no op
portunity to add to that store. AL
though we hear much of the vast
quantities of linen possessed by the
women of an older day, popularity sup
posed to be more Industrious as well
as more home-staying than those OF
the present period of feminine clubs
and suffrage-seeking, still the average
hOusekeeper of to-day devotes consid
cradle labor to her table linen.
Most women realize that napery is
costly and none more so than that
which is sold 'at a bargain" There
fore, it is far wiser for any young
housekeeper to purchase a half dozen
really good cloths of pure linen and
of modest pattern rather than twice
that number that are of fashionable
design and partially cotton. Any
snowy, imitation damask is a mistake
for it will reveal its quality after a
first washing.

Model Dairy Farm at Manhattan.


No other line of farming interests
nas attracted so much attention in re-
cent years as dairying. As land values
increase different methods of farming
must be employed than those prac-
ticed on cheap land. If dairymen in
Holland can, on 81 900 land, buy Amer
lean feed and then ship butter to
America and still make money, GER
tainly Kansas farmers ought to pros
per on $50 and 500 land, when they
can raise corn, clover and alfalfa, the
best dairy feeds in the world, and sell
on a good home market. The dairy de-
partment at the Agricultural college is
working on some very practical lines.
Prof Kendall has started model
dairy farm" on AZ acres of land and
will work out two experiments, one
to balance the other-to determine the
cheapest method of feeding dairy
cows, and to see how many cows may
be maintained on that much land.
