pay almost any amount for silk and

For winter wear, both plain and

excellent washing properties, may be
strongly recommended; while the besi

Extra pillows are always a valuable

materials are blanket cloths, camel's-

These new walking suits promise
to attain great popularity with women
who strive to combine severity with
elegance for outdoor frocks.

USEFUL NOTES.

Cheap seed is often the most expen.
sive.
The number Of cows MIXED daily
in the United States is estimated at
$1,000, 900.
A hard crust over the soil prevents
the rain and heat from entering. AL.
ways keep the surface Of the soil
loose.
The garden should be near the
house and surrounded with a good
woven wire netting fence to keep out
fowls and other garden pests.
Bonemeal is excellent for vines and
fruit trees, and three or four ounces
may be applied to the square yard.
II the garden must Of necessity be
on a stiff, clayey soil, mix all the
ashes and sand obtainable with it;
they will mellow 1t up wonderfully.

NOTES AROUND THE FARM.

An overfat COW is never a profitable
one to the dairyman.
Eggs are injured by washing. 1t
gives them frazier shell. Washed
eggs will not keep so well, neither
will they hatch as well. Wipe of the
dirt with a moist wooden rag, but no
more.
A poor line fence not only leads to
damage to crops, but damage to friend
ships that are worth more than all
the crops on the farm.
The size at which hog can be prof
itably marketed depends upon the
kind of food afforded him. 1t is cas-
Ter to turn slop into young pork than
1t is dry feed.

A practical method Of removing II.

Charles Metcalf Of Pennsylvania, In

feet long and weighs about ten

DAINTY BASKET FOR HAIRPINS
Wicker contrIvances That Are One ot
the Novelties Of the
Fall Season.

One Of the novelties Of the fall sea
son are dainty hairpin baskets made
from small wicker baskets with and
without handles.
These baskets are finished with
several coats Of gilt paint, filed with
wool Of some other soft filling, and
the top is covered with close meshed
netting Of gilt wire.
When 1t is impossible TO buy this
netting 1t can be woven with heavy
gilt thread, as children weave paper
mats, leaving small interstices that
the hairpin may slip in easily.
As in most households there are
plenty Of small baskets left over from
the gifts of children, this is a useful
and attractive way to utilize them.
If one is giving a party for which
prize is needed for several tables one
of these little affairs for each one
will be both cheap and effective.
