Disposition of Corn crop.

The Tines Democrat publishes
the following excellent sugges.
IONS from a correspondent rels.
tive to disposition of the corn
crop. The writer says he is a
buyer and seller of grain:
l, That the farmers select
their grain and send to market

dry grain, otherwise they will get
poor prices for it. 2. II ship.

a good one, to ship Immediately
all corn that they intend to sell,
and if shipped by rail to follow

The Betrothal Bracelet.

There is no rrettier token for a
fiancee than bracelets, and every girl
will feel grateful to Prince George of
Greece for having revived this fine old
custom. He bestowed a betrothal
bracelet upon Princess Marie Bona
parte at the time he slipped an en-
gagement ring upon her finger, and
since then his example has been fol-
lowed by young men all over Europe.
The fashion has come in here, and
no young woman's engagement now
will be complete unless sealed by both
ring and bracelet.
The bracelet that now encircles the
princess wrist is beautiful example
of the goldsmith's art. 1t consists of
two bands of gold chased in an an
tique design. The bands are studded
with diamonds and sapphires, and the
clasp of each is heart of diamonds.

CARE AND FEEDING OF TEAM.
AS General Rule Farm Horses Do
Not Receive the Proper Attention
Due Them.

Perhaps no subject is of more i'm
portance to the average farmer than
the proper care and feeding of the
teams that are relied upon to do the
farm work, and as a rule / do not be-
lieve that these horses receive the
care and consideration that they
should, says B. Lara A good horse
used in common sense manner
should live to an old age and be in
condition to perform good work at all
times.
The essential requisites for work
ing horse are good size, quick action
and strength. A high-spirited animal
or one of great value is not the most
desirable animal for the farmer. What
we need is good walker, as much of
the usefulness and efficiency depends
upon that quality. This faculty is
quite as much matter of education
as inherited qualities.
Under ordinary circumstances it is
judicious to use mares for working
teams upon a farm. Except for a short
time during the period of parturition
and Immediately after they are fully
as well adapted to farm work as are
geldings. They also possess the ad-
vantage of annually bringing colts, and
in event of their being incapacitated
by accident or labor they may still be
kept with profit as breeders.

IDEAS FROM FASHION CENTER
the Most Elegant and Ex
pensive Design.

The close-skirted, short-bodiced
gowns prevail over all others for ele-
CANT wear, these allowing quaint dra-
perjes which in many cases may be-
likened to the old polonaise, says a
Paris letter. An overfall in Greek line
is also much exploited, and scarcely
an empire frock is worn without the
dashing coat made especially for it.
Square slashed tails, and shoul-
der cut which reveals the best part of
the close, beautiful lace sleeves of the
gown, are the modisn points for these.
With such superb dresses the stock
ings and shoes are correspondingly ex-
quisite. High-heeled slippers in the
palest tints, with plain or embroidered
silk stockings to match, trip from car
riage and automobile across the mud
diest pavements.
AS afternoon is the time for out
door life here, the dressing in the
Bois turnouts and along the Grand
boulevard always shows this suitable
elegance. Indeed, there is no such
thing as morning walking dress in
Paris, for the pleasure-loving Paris
ienne goes out only to see and be
seen.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1909-05-21
NOTES ABOUT SHEEP.

The man who goes into the sheep
business has a reasonable assurance
that good prices for mutton and wool
will continue for some time.
Much of the business of feeding
sheep must be learned by associating
with the stock and studying their hab-
it's and characteristics.
The most careful man will devote
much time to the study of his sheep,
and it is unwise for a man without
experience to undertake the sheep
business on large scale.
The safest way is to buy, say, 25
choice ewes and an excellent ram,
and secure your education with a min
imum amount of expense.
Pasture that is ideal for cattle will
not be ideal for sheep. Sheep will
thrive better on shorter and finer
grass than on coarse grasses.
There are very few farms but what
would be better by having a few
sheep on them.

USE CLOTHES BRUSH
POINT OF NEATNESS TOO MANY
WOMEN NEGLECT.
Fine Materials and Late Styles Are of
Little Effect If the Bottom of
the Skirt Shows Traces
of Mud.

'T cannot stand her," said one wom-
an to another, "the bottom of her
skirts are so dirty, do not believe she
owns clothes brush! l can scarcely
look at her and hate to have her come
into my drawing-room!"
1t is unfortunate that women do not
seem to have the clothes brush habit
as much as men. Now that skirts
have heightened daily hard brush is
essential both for looks and health.
1t is not pleasant if one is ones own
maid to come in tired and take an eX-
ira five minutes to brush clothes; yet
that is the time to do it for many rea-
sons. To put soiled skirts and dusty
hats and coats in a closet with other
garments is unsanitary. Moreover,
those clothes are apt to go unbrushed
If we wait until they must be put on
in hurry.
There is nothing like regular brush
ing to make clothes last longer and
look well. All woolen garments should
be brushed each time used A soft
bonnet brush should be kept in the
hat box and used each time hat is
put away.
The bottom of skirt should be
brushed with a whisk and with stiff
brush such as men prefer. If there
are mud spots they should be al
lowed to dry, then brushed and any
stain sponged carefully away.
Silks should never be roughly

deep and nearly straight on the bot
tom lines; ham, large, reaching we'll
down on hook, wellrounded and deep
through, causing the legs to stand well
apart; these as well as the forelegs
short and strong and standing well on
the toes; tail tapering, rather fine and
well set up.
The improved Berkshire is charac.
terized by the superior quality and
proportionate quantity of it's flesh,
which is tender and juicy, the hams
and shoulders being nicely marbled
with fat and lean meat, while the
sides are also noted for their excel
lence in those respects, making them
especially desirable for curing as ba-
con.
Berkshire swine are also noted for
their docility and prolificacy, the sows
usually bringing large litters and
proving themselves gentle mothers
and good mixers. The pigs come
strong and healthy and are soon able
to care for themselves.
For the purpose of improving the
common swine of the country, no bet
ter breed can be found; having de-
scended from such long line of pure
bred ancestors, he possesses in an un-
rivaled degree the power to stamp his
individuality upon his progeny.
