Misses Naval Waist.

The naval, or sailor, waist is al
ways a favorite one for young girls,
and is admirable for school and COLI
lege wear. 1t is just the right thing
in which to take exercise, and 1t is al
together satisfactory and becoming.
This one is made after the latest style
and can be finished with just the neck
opening or with a longer one at the
front and laced together as may be
preferred. In the illustration it is
made of blue flannel, and is banded
with braid, while over the left front is
q strip Of red flannel and red flannel
also makes the chevrons, but such de-
tails can be arranged to suit individ-
ual taste, although the girls like to
copy the sailor boys as closely as pos
sible. Flannel, light weight serge,
cashmere and all materials of the sort
are appropriate, and the waist can be
used with the skirt to match or sep
arately as liked. :
The waist is made with front and
back. The one-piece sleeves are
tucked at their lower edges and I'm
ished with straight cuffs and are
sewed to the armholes before the TN

ECONOMY is PRODUCTION.

ECONOMY is PRODUCTION.
Although fourteen bushels of
wheat is about the average yield in
this country, yet our farmers have
not comprehended the Importance of
doubling the yield. Having plenty OF
land they look more to the area than
TO the substances from which crops
are grown. Millions of gallons OF
liquid manure are wasted every year
because no adequate provision is,
made on the farms for preventing
this loss, and farms become poorer
because portion of the products OF
the farms flow away with every rain
that comes down upon the. man
ure heap. The waist materials that
are of no value, such as weeds and
rubbish. are allowed to damage in
various ways, and even the solids of
the manure lose much of their value
because of not being properly kept.
This condition is found mostly.
on farms that have too much land
in proportion to equipment. The
labor that should be applied where
it would prove most valuable is be-
slowed on too much land. The ef
fort to raise fourteen bushels Of
wheat on an acre is twice as costly
as to double the yield, as a profit
may be possible in one case and i'm.
possible in the other. Everything
not sold of the farm has value and
is worth as much to the farmer al
to the buyer of his produce. 1t Is.
as important that he save and utilize
his product, whether in the form OF
stock, crops or manure, as It is to
send such to market to be sold for
cash. Epitomist.

place them with the long way Of the
stone at right angles to the slope Of
The bank, as shown by No. of Fig.
Q. In this way the weight of each
stone presses firmly against the bank,
with the fiat sides of the stones fitting
solidly against each other. In No. 2
the weight of each stone rests on the
one below it, for the stones are laid
horizontally. Here there is more of a
chance for the fiat stones to slide out
of place, while In No. It would be
difficult to pull out a stone after IL
was firmly imbedded in the slope with
the others. Never put stone in as
shown In No. g., where the stones
slant slightly toward the bed of the
stream. 1t is apparent that the very
weight. of the stones would tend to
force the lower ones out of. position.
In many localities, willows are
planted thickly along the water-line
of banks. They grow rapidly and
their roots sinterlace and form a solid,
strong mass. capable of, holding the
stream in its place. A row OF such
trees would greatly improve the beau
ty Of the road. Willows are used
quite extensively along the banks of
the Mississippi, and are considered
the best means yet used for keeping
that great stream in due bounds. It
Is general practice to sod the banks
above the water-line.-L. j.. Smith.

DRESSING
yG AND MARKETIN
POULTRY.

The condition of dressed poultry
when sent to the market largely de-
termines the price. frequently poul-
try raisers complain of the low price
they get for their chickens when In
truth The specimens sent should have
been used for home consumption
rather than for marketing. Poultry
which makes a good show always
meets q ready sale and brings good
profits, Poultry dressed and packed
in every conceivable way. without
regard to appearance, seldom pays
the shipper for his trouble. and, as
4 rule, he literally has to give it
AWAY to get 1t OF his hands, This
Is wrong. A few poor birds In a
crate Of good ones ruin the sale Of
lhe whole lot as first-class birds. and
lnjure the reputation of the shipper.
It wcald be bettsr to throw away the
absolutely poor ones than to lower
he price that may be rpaIizea from
xhe sale OF the good ones.

The farmer generally gives less
considerations TO the rcosts and nests
than to any other part OF his poul-
~ house. This Is not right.
Desiring to save labor, the roosts
are nailed to the walls and the nests
Are SO fastened as to become part
Of the building itself in many cases.
Under such conditions It is tmpos-
Mble TO thoroughly clean the poultry

The perches should be built SO that
Afey do not touch the walls at any
place, for the red mites or lice which
DO the most harm do not stay on the
fowls during the daytime but come
forth at night to seek their prey.
II che perches do not touch the
walls at any place, the lice will
have less opportunity to hide. and
then e the roosts are thoroughly

MANAGING VICIOUS BULLS.


As a rule. the wisest way of hand
ling bull that is inclined to be
vicious is to hand him over to the
butcher. as an animal of this class
Is never safe to trust. II he be one
6hat has proven to be an extra good
sire, and 1t Is deemed desirable to
keep him for service, the safest and
simplest means of handling him is
TO blindfold him. He may be man
aged by means of ropes and pulleys.
giving him room to move out of his
stall when required. and bringing
him back to his place; but 1t is a
cumbersome method.
Blindfolding quietly takes all the
sonceit out of blusterer. A broad
bandage of double sacking securely
fastened over his eyes, may serve the
purpose ordinarily in the stable. This
device may be used to good advan-
,age in handling a nervous or ex-
sitable beast while being led to mar
ket or drawn in a wagon to be
shipped on train.
remember case Of heller re-
ceived on the train being SO wildly
excited that she would jump at a
rerson appre aching her to unite her
halter, but, by throwing blanket
oyer her head, and afterwards tying
a sack over her eyes. she was quiet
~ unIcaded and tied behind wagon
which she followed as meekly as one
could desire.
Acknowledgement or lack Of thought
males a great deal of trouble In the
handling of stock. How often do
we see men chasing pigs all over the
place in the vain effort to get them
into a pen, the porkers always going
in the direction contrary to the one
they are desired to go; while. by hav-

giving them too much liberty. or us

.hem kindly, but they should be trust
I'd no mere than is necessary, for It
sometimes happens that a bull that
has been quiet. suddenly and unex-
rectedly becomes vicious. and mains
a man for life or cores him to death.
It is the part Of wisdom to handle
