lined with soft silk of an old gold
color. Between the lining and the
outer cover there was an interlining
of thin cardboard to stiffen the bag
and keep it in shape. The two side
pieces are of pale blue silk, gathered
into small frill at the top, and there
is long loop of ribbon with rosette,
by which the bag may be slung over
the wrist. There is not much work in
making a little article of this kind,
and it is a pretty idea to make it of a
color to match or harmonise with the
color of the costume with which it is
intended to be worn. A bag of this
description should of course, be made
in quite small size, for carrying a
purse and, perhaps, a handkerchief,
but bag of the same pattern can be
made in a larger size to serve for work
or as prayer-book carrier, as the
shape lends itself to this purpose.

BERKSHIREs A GOOD BREED.
For Improving the Condition of the
Common Swine They Are
Excellent.


The Berkshire hog has been bred
for longer time, with view to i'm
provement, than any other known
breed of swine. The breed is to-day
acknowledged to be the best general
purpose hog.
They are we'll adapted to the needs
of the eastern farmer who makes pork
growing valuable appendage to his
dairy; they are adapted to the corn
belt, where an easy maturing animal
is desired; they are adapted to the
southern farmer who makes forage
play an important part in his rations
of food.
There is no brand that will breed 80
true to the marking characteristic of
the breed as the Berkshire, and they
are rightly named the aristocrats Of
the show ring.
The improved Berkshires of the
present day are a well-established
breed, possessing many definite and
valuable qualities, among which are
the following:
Body black, with smooth plum-col-
ored skin, soft fine hair, feet and tip
of tail white, with a dash of white in
the face and many times white nose,
and also some white jowl; forehead
and face broad; face dished with large
clear eyes and short snout; ears of
medium size, thin soft, and carried in
an upright position; neck short and
broad on top, with jowl large and
full shoulders broad on top and deep
through the chest; back broad; side

Low SWEET POTATO PRICES
MAY NOT CONTINUE LONG

The present heavy supply of sweet
potatoes and the comparatively low
prices at which they are selling has
caused the housekeeper to imagine
that the sweet potato market is going
to be one of the best experienced in
years It is a question, however, II
this viii be the case. as many persons
closely in touch with the market take
a decidedly different view
The reason advanced for the present
supply which has almost overstocked
the market is that a great many ship
pers. who are not provided with means
of storing potatoes, are now getting
rid of their stock as fast as they can.
This is. the case to a considerable ex-
tent, with the nearby growers. but
especially with North Carolina grow
ers. Those who have storage facili-
ties are using them, as they realize
that later they probably will be able
to realize much higher prices than
are being brought at present
How long the shipments will con-
tinue to come in is a question. but the
general view seems to be that they
may be expected to continue four or
five weeks. During that time, the
housekeeper will have the market en-
tirely in her favor.
Dealers claim that the quality Of
the stock received so far has not been
out of the ordinary The belief is
that the potatoes which are being
stored are no better. II. indeed, as good
as those stored last year.
