Among the-serious considerations for
elderly wolden are the necks. There
is no comfort in q high-bone stock,
and the stiff collar cannot be consid-
cred. Very soft Spanish lace for the
lowered neck line is a delight to the
elderly woman, who must have ease
ard comfort. One of the latest crea-
lions is a soft lace stock, which will
take the place of the more youthful
arrangements. The stocks are folded
once around the neck and tied in
front over a pleated iabot of net.
The duchess lace ties are arranged
in the same way, or in soft folds with
a v shape at the throat. For the
elderly woman folded tulle is also a
very pretty finish and n very much
worn at the present time. The white
lace cap is one Of the prettiest crea-
lions, and is usually a very small af-
fair, frilled and beribboned with
white, black or lavender.
Caps look very we'll on snow white
hair and they must sometimes be
worn when the hair is quite thin.
The latest night caps have lace
rosettes above each string. They are
made of pure white muslin and are
worn a great deal by elderly women
who cling to the old-tlme custom Of
wearing the night head-dress.-Wash-
ington Herald.

Artificial Flowers For corsage.


One of the pretty and attractive
fads in Paris which is fast gaining
hold here is the wearing of artificial
flowers for corsage decorations. This
is not for the evening, but for daily
use. The flowers are wonderfully
natural, and really look as though
they had just been plucked in the
garden or the greenhouse. There
are lovely orchids, with a few sprays
Of maidenhair fern interspersed.
Clusters of bluets, with a few OF the
long, swordlike leaves, make up an
other stunning bouquet. Gardenias
are used singly or in punches of
three. Carnations of all colors and
of the big variety are used singly; SO
are roses. And so might be enum-
Grated the entire list of the florists
sho IS. The flower must be selected
TO harmonic with the color of the
costume or with the hat, and there
fore the modish woman has half a
dozen different kinds of corsage bou-
Duets. The real beauty lies in their
freshness, and SO soon as they show
the least signs of wear others must
be purchased to replace the old and
faded ones. Indeed, the up-to-date
woman looks upon the present OF a
box containing half q dozen bouquets
of artificial flowers with as much
favor as she has always regarded the
finest and freshest of the greenhouse
variety.-New York Tribune.

"A Charming Baby Basket.

A fascinating baby basket just
made for a young mother was OF
wicker, shallow and oblong. 1t was
lined with mercorized Saline, pink, Of
high luster. and covered with Paris
muslin, which is as dainty looking as
organdy and much more durable.
The pink lining was Put in pain,
but the muslin was gathered slightly
at top and bottom OF tho sides, the
bottom being plain. Double strips of
incH-widc vaIeDciennes insertion were
arranged across the bottom to form a
diamond.
Along each side were pockets of
the muslin gathered al the top OH an
elastic and edged with narrow lace.
The fronts OF the pockets IS we'll IS

and the equally long, stiffened cover

The rufle that fell over the sides
was made OF straight strips Of the
Paris muslin, with an inch-wide hem

nm inch .tucks a half-inch apart, with
baby ribbon sewed between each tuck.

Hazel MT CT the Northwest.

The crop of hazel nuts in Clars
County for this year has been enor-
nous. Every bush is laden with nuts
and all the boys and girls are storing
large quantities for winter use. One
family has the banner pick of four
bushels of she1led nuts in n day.
That the cultivated hazel nat, or
flbert, is admirably adapted to this
climate has been demonstrated by i
number cs growers. amcns them Jno,

IN excellent condition. There ere 800
trees to Tie acre. planted ten feet
apart. The culture is profitable to
the grower, SIS the nuts bring fourteen
and fifteen Cents a pound.
The trees bear I few nuts the first
t-ear, the crop increasing yearly until
the ten-year-old trees are bearing
about ten pounds o. nuts. At g Iar
ket price of fifteen cents, 900 trees

Pasture For Sheen.

A sheep grower lays that from
Hay to September sheep should have
blue grass or clover pasture or some
other good grass. Stubble fields, corn
fields and aftermaths should furnish
the pasture FOR the balance of the sea-
son. Nine or ten ewes averaging 100
pounds can feed on ore acre of good
grass pasture.
From September l until the flock
goes to winter quarters rape sown
two or three pounds per acre in grain
at seeding or corn at last cultivation
will furnish excellent feed for the
sheep.
Lambs may be turned into the corr
fields by August 10 to 90. They will
eat the lower leaves and weeds that
may be present, not touching the ears.
This IS cheap pasture and unless used
in this way IS wasted.
by thus using the w2S.c and catch
crops, AID raising plenty CT pasture

present development Of the machine,
can only be recommended under con-
dit;ons where the farmer is able to
give personal attention to the opera
Licn Of the machine, or has reliable,
intelligent help, who can and will fol-
low the directions Of the manufactur-
ers as to care of the machine. manip-
ulation of the 4dder, stripping the
COWS, etc. Where such is the case we
can recommend the milking-machfne
for tho general dairy farmer who has
a large herd. or for farmers owning
smaller herds, e. s.. thirty head or
perhaps less, who will be able to at.
tend to the milking Of the herd alone
or With the help Of a boy by means OF
the machine. end thus avoid keeping
extra help for this purpose. We do
not feel perfectly safe in recommend
ing the milking-machine for pure
bred herds, where the maintenance or
the development of a maximum dairy
production in the COWS is of vital III.
portance, although we believe that
under favorable conditions it may
also prove of value in such herds.
The success Of merchandising
will depend largely upon The MA OPP
Grating the machine ana on his atti-
tude toward machine-rlilking. If the
machine is given a Fair trial a ID the
directions of the manufacturers are
carefully followed, machine-TilkinS
will, cs a general rule, be a success,
at least to the extent of approximate
ing the results obtained by good
hand-milkers and perhaps evan i'm
proving on those secured by general
farm help.
The experiences of practical farm
ers and the results OF careful, ezhaus-
tive trials agree in showing that 50
far as the machine itself is concerned
the problem of mechanical milking
may now be considered solved, al
though minor improvements in the
pre.ent machine are needed and will
doubtless be made before long.
Properly cared for and handled the
milking-machine will prove a valu-
able aid in the solution of the hired
help problem on many dairy farms,
and will become an important factor
in the further development of our
dairy industry.

Canada Blue Grass.

An Inquiry comes from E. T. H., Of
Henry County, regarding English
blue grass. We presume Canada blue
grass is intended, as this grass is an
Importation from Europe. 1t is a
close relation to our Kentucky blue
grass, and is quite common IN the
Eastern States. It is more slender in
stem than the common blue grass.
and like this grass does best on good
clay soils, where it makes a closer
turf and w%ithstands drought better
than the Kentucky. 1t is very ralu-
able as pasture for dairy cattle. The
seed should be sown, eight to ten
pounds to the acre, mixed with other
kinds Of grass seed. Sow very early
in spring, so that the melting SHOWS
may cover it. Be sure that tine seed
Is fresh and sound.-Indiana Farmer.

sisters Of a large family, womanhood
had It's chance.
"Now, when the only child becomes
less and less of a rarity, the putting
together of boys and girls while they
are little, in circumstances where by
natural, wholesome degrees they may
live out natural, wholesome lives
this association becomes even more a
necessity.
"We separate them rigidly from
each other while they are young; we
separate them during all the time
when association with each other
would bring everything of good In
each to the other, and we throw
them together again at an age when,
by the very force OF this unnatural
separation, they have learned to look
upon each other wrongly and falsely.
"What 1 see as a danger to certain
young women of to-day is a growing
aversion from the consideration of
falling in love and of marriage, which
seems 10 me 10 NC u FSiy uHioiSo
nate characteristic.
"The modern girl who takes life,
and especially her school lie, seri-
ously issues forth from her school
with a supreme contempt of young
men; she won't look ct anyone under
fifty. Young men as we genera..y
see them may not be very much to
look at, but at any rate they are the
natural companions of young women,
and more and more the seriously ed
ucated girl of to-day is getting to de-
spise the idea OF marriage as some
thing beneath contempt.
81 submit that this is a very great
pity, and here again \ feels that
ignorance must be at the back of the
contempt. A girl with a lot of broth
crs-that is. if she is given any
chance of making their acquaintance
by meeting them at home-is never
contemptuous of lads and young men.
