When the 3uttonhole Tears-Patchinc

to Fix UP Prayed
Silk Waist

If a buttonhole tears ont lay a piece
of closely woven tape back of ii. stitch
firmly in place. hem the old buttonhole
to il neatly and then cut and work in
the tape new buttonhole of the prop
er size. An extra fine way is to rip
the band apart and take out the
threads of the old buttonhole. stitch
the tape on the inside of the back
fold of the band, stitch up the latter
in its original shape and proceed as
before. When buttons have torn out
ii is comparatively easy to squeeze a
small square of good tape through the
hole lay it fiat in the pro 1er position
between the two folds of the band and
Stitch it in place. Hem down the rag
sed edges on both sides and sew the
buttons to the tape. Any button or
buttonhole that is to bear strain
should be stayed with tape when the
garment is being made. the stay tapes
for both buttons and buttonholes be
ing placed in the band before it is
stitched.

HATS ARE TO eE SMALLER.
That Seems to Be Millinery Forecast
at Present.

There is system among milliners
of making up brilliant spring hats in
January for the people who are going
south. These hats are supposed to
be the forerunners of the coming
styles.
If they are, and even the milliners
cannot prophesy surely so far ahead,
this season, the hats that are worn
as the warm weather comes in will
be smaller than the enormous affairs
of this winter.
They are still large enough, follow
ing the sailor shape, but the brims roll
more. especially at the right side.
Flowers in great quantities are used
as trimming, especially the huge
shaded roses. Touches of gold ribbon
or sauze are put in among these.
The new touch. however is the
wide. ribbon placed at the sides well
back of the ears. They begin in
rosettes, are drawn loosely over the
brim and tie carelessly under the chin
in a wide bow and ends
Black velvet ribbon is often used.
but all the new colors in satin are
drawn upon for this purpose

Testing Milk for Germs.

A good method to determine the pres
ence OF Objectionable germs in milk
is as follows: Several small bottles or
walls should be boiled in water for ten
minutes, then drained and stoppered
with clean cotton. If these are filled
with the milk to be tested and kept in
warm place for twenty-four hours the
appearance of the sample will indicate
the character of the bacteria most ac-
tive. II the milk is unchanged. or if
it has a firm curd, mostly favorable
bacteria are present. If gas bubbles
ere rising or there is curd much torn
by gas, it is a sign that the milk has
been handled in an uncleanly manner
or that there are Objectionable germs
in the udder of the COW. If highly Of
fensive odors are given off it is a sign
that bacteria are at work digesiinS the

GREAT SUCCESS OF THIS eUSI.
NESS IN THE GREELEY
DISTRICT.
PROVES MONEY MAKER
DOES WELL IN HIGHER AlTI.
TUBES AND MAY YET RIVAL
THE POTATO CROP.

Cabbage growing in Colorado has
been followed by a few men in the
Greeley district as business for the
past fifteen years, says h. r. Bennett
of the Colorado Agricultural College.
Nearly all parts of the United
States grow cabbage to some extent,
but 1t remains for the cooler paris of
the country to produce this vegetable
profitably. Northern New York leads
by far any other section in the pro
duction of this vegetable. This is
partly because of market demands
and partly because of favorable eli
mate. A comparative study of that
section and Colorado conditions will
show that Colorado has decided ad-
vantage in lessening cost of produc-
ton and yield per acre
Few people have appreciated the
advantage that this industry has of
fered in Colorado in the past ten
years. One man has grown cabbage
on the same land for the past four
teen years. This land cannot be
bought for less than than $500 per acre.
The average anual yield on this
land has been at least 10000 pounds
per acre.
While the price of cabbage fluctu-
ates considerably from year to year.
there has been no year in the past
ten when the crop would not bring
% cents a hundred pounds and some
years the price has gone as high as
81 hundred pounds. The average
price for the month of October, 1905.
paid by one of the leading shippers
of Greeley has been about so cents Il
hundred pounds.
One man on the Greeley bottoms
produced 10000 pounds of cabbage
per acre on a twelve-acre field. This
was sold at 10 cents hundred
pounds, and cost, for growing and
marketing, between $50 and $35
leaving a net return of s340 per acre
This last fall the shipments of cab
bage from the northern Colorado dis
trict, Taking in the territory above
the Union Pacific Railroad from Den
yer to Greeley. and on the C. & s.
Railroad from Greeley to Fort Col
line, were between 500 and 1000 cars
So far the higher attitudes of the
state have not shipped much cabbage,
! although the natural advantages there
are in some ways better than in the
districts mentioned.
There is room for this industry to
become as great and make name
| for itself that the potato and fruit in
dustries have.
In this article we have not the
! space to give details of culture that
are necessary for success with this
| industry, but this information will
soon be published in bulletin form

FEARS CALIFORNIA AGITATION
WILL AFFECT NEGOTIATIONS
WITH JAPAN.
NEVADA ADDS TROUBLE
GREAT SHIPPING CORPORATIONS
COME IN FOR BLAME IN
THE MATTER.

Washington. single question,
nor group of questions, is absorbing
the interest and concern of the admin
istration at this moment to the same
extent as certain of the phases of the
anti-Japanese agitation in California
The President has been in communi-
cation with many reputable persons
who should be thoroughly informed as
to the conditions on the Pacific coast
The following views of the situation
are from semi official source and are
said to represent fairly well the views
of the President:
1t is admitted that systematic agi-
tation is in progress on the coast but
a significant feature of its lack of
strength is the fact that the labor lead
ers have taken no prominent part in
IL.
1t even has been stated to the admin
istration that the real handspring Of
the agitation is to be found in some of
the great corporations that found their
profitable business of coolie transpor-
tation threatened with destruction by
the success of the administration to
stop this class of immigration. For
the fact is, in the opinion of the ad-
ministration, that the negotiations
with Japnn for practically complete
closure of American ports to the entry
of Japanese laborers are certainly jeo-
pardized by the extreme utterances OF
certain persons in California and by
the mere consideration of such resolu-
tions as were entertained yesterday
t by the Nevada Legislature. Even
agreements already reached, which
are being carried out in perfect good
faith on the part of the japanese gov
ernment, are regarded as endangered.
in the sense that the present agitation
might very naturally tend to abate the
interest of the Japanese officials in
the execution of their obligations
IN view Of the unfriendly attitude as
sumed by some elements on the Pa
cific coast.
1t is these considerations that have
influenced the President in concluding
that everything possible should be
done to prevent legislation by any
state that would discriminate against
the Japanese as a class apart from
other foreign elements entering Amer
lea
There is no objection whatever by
f.the administration to the laws prohib-
iting all aliens from holding land in
America. For this is now, under the
revised statutes, the law in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories
and some of the states. Indeed, there
is similar law in Japan and the gov
ernment of that country consequently
could not regard it as anti-Japanese
legislation if adopted in California.
The President has entire confidence
in the people of the Pacific coast and
is certain they will do right in this
matter.
