the whole make up of the hat shows
the handiwork of an artist in mil
linery. Folded velvet is thrust
through the brim at the left and ex-
tends across the back and disappears
under the brim at the right side. Two
blue wings spring out of the crown.
A flower hatpin holds the turban in
place, but is no part of the design.
This is very commendable design,
and this is true of it's modest price.
Nothing could be more unpreten-
tious or more finished than a simple
hat now much worn. This is of dura-
Bile braid in barnt straw color, faced
with black satin ribbon. The ribbon,
bordered with braid. is laid in a scant
fiat rosette and finished with four
"ears." The crown is very large, but
a model similarly trimmed, having a
smaller crown, has been made and is
even more successful than the orr
ginal.
The American models are hand
made of rows of braid sewed to-
gether. The braids are light in
weight, very soft and of high luster.
There is nothing rigid or heavy about
the shapes, and they are altogether
satisfactory

TT YOU are looking for comfort and
service in a street hat and want to
be sure that it embodies style and
becomingness as well. study the mod
els shown here.
Fig. 1 shows a French hat woven in
one piece and faced with a demi-
facing of black velvet. 1t Is so alto
gether charming that it will tempt the
price of much more elaborate effort
from almost any discriminating buy
er. Nothing could be simpler than its
decoration of two pheasant feathers
mounted with big, jeweled straw,
cabochon. This mounting of two long
quills gives them an Importance which
places them in the "chanticler" class
at once. And one must not complain
at the high price of "chanticler" pat
tern. This is really one of the most
beautifully balanced shapes which is
to be found. Call it the "hen-pheas-
ant" model and cheerfully part with
200 francs for it in Paris. 1t will
finally dawn upon those who observe
that there are other things to a hat
besides trimmings

Concrete Dipping Tank.

into the tank again. The one objec-
ton to this plan is that rain water
fills the tank; this can be obviated by
little cross gutter. with plug and
drain, just at the jointure of tank and
pen. The swing gate let's one side
drain while the other side fills, so the
action of the thing is continuous. or
nearly so, as one can keep the tank
filled with hot dip. There should be
a ditch to drain the tank. with plug.
Build the solid concrete, reinforced
above ground with steel. The walls
need be no more than four. inches
thick below and six inches thick above
ground; the drainage pen floor if on a
solid foundation of well-pounded
gravel or sand need be no more than
four inches thick. Such a tank and
system of pens are great luxury and
convenience on any farm.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

A satisfied hog is still one.
See that the early pigs have plenty
of protection.
Never work your horse when he will
not eat.
Economic by feeding good oats and
good hay.
Your horse needs good care as well
as good food.
What is good for your horse is good
for his master.
Diet has an important effect upon
the fertility of the eggs.
Give your horse rock salt and head
shelter from the summer sun.
Good drivers are quiet, patient and
kind and have little use for whip.
The hog pastured on plank floor
will never mend many holes in the
barn roof
Less than two per cent. of the cat
tie, beef and dairy, in the United
states are pure bred.
If you haven't a hog pasture, and
are trying to raise hogs, get one, or
get out of the hog business.
Although sorghum makes heavy
draughts upon the plant food of the
soil, it is a splendid forage plant and
the syrup deserves more considera-
ton on our tables.
Did you plant seed plat from
which to select your seed corn next
year? If you did not, do it now. 1t is
better to risk late planting than to
neglect this important matter.
Plans should be made to turn the
oat stubble as soon as the crop is
harvested and plant the land in sum-
mer c.,ver crop. Cowpeas are very
valuabss for this purpose.

DIPPING TANK OF CONCRETE
Device and System of Pens as De-
scribed Herewith Are Great Con-
venience on Any Farm.

In a small dipping tank for use
with farm flock there is no use try
ing to build so that the sheep will go
in of their own accord. Pigs will
quite often swim through for the fun
of it, but sheep must be forced in, and
we simply catch them in small pen
and drop them in, one at time.
present substantially the simple ap-
paratus in use on Woodland farm. the
one difference being that in our tanks
the bottom is narrower than in this
drawing, and unwisely so, writes Jo-
seph E. Wing, in Breeders Gazette.
Make the exit very gradual of ascent,
as sheep with heavy wool can hardly
drag themselves up a sharp ascent.
The drainage pens are slightly in
clined and the dip thus runs directly

CONCEAL JOINING OF LACE
Easy to Arrange, Though Much De.
ponds Upon the Quality Of Ma
teriai That Is Used.

It is possible to join lace so the
Joining is almost entirely concealed
This is managed in several ways,
much depending upon the kind of lace
and how it is used
For yoke or other solid surface
that is to lie fiat 1t is better to ap.
plique the lace together. Cut out the
design irregularly and join it to the
under piece so that it continues the
pattern. The edges are buttonholed,
sewed or overcast together according
to which stitch shows least. Do this
with fine thread and cut away all
ragged edges.
For firmness it will usually be
found necessary to join the under side
also. In this case make the stitches
on right side small.
Where lace Is to be joined for ruff
fle the best way to do it is to button
hole the edges together in the tiniest
possible seam. Use a fine thread and
do the stitching neatly. This same
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-05-28

method is often used on yokes and for
thin laces is better, perhaps, than ap-
pliGuefng. Press the edges open on
right side between thumb and first
finger so it does not pucker.
Some persons lap the edges of the
lace so that the wrong side of the left
side lies for about quarter of an inch
upon the right side of the under piece.
Both ends are then hemmed in tiny
stitches. This prevents a seam, but lie
almost impossible to do without
showing.
Never join lace by sewing in a
French seam, as it is entirely too
bulky, and, no matter how carefully
done, will not look neat. Above all,
do not content yourself with sewing
in single seam. The edges curl
badly at first washing and the lace IL
apt to pull apart.

A Separator Pays.

A good cream separator is an excel
lent investment for any farmer who
milks cows. Such machine gets all
of the butter fat out of the milk, and
in no other way can this be do1e.
Butter fat is too expensive to feed to
calves and pigs, and is not very good
feed for them, either. Not nearly so
good as sweet, warm, pure skim milk
that contains no butter fat. With a
separator one can always have the
milk warm and sweet for the pigs and
calves, and it is the home milk and
not factory milk that is contaminated
with factory washings and germs of
tuberculosis, A good separator will
pay for itself every year in the extra
butter fat it sayes.

RedWater in Cattle.

Redwater in cattle is a dietetic dis.
ease usually caused by rough innu-
tritious feed. The best treatment to
adopt is to give a drench composed
of Epson salt, one pound; powdered
ginger, one ounce; nitrate of potash.
one-half ounce; to be given in quart
of water. A liberal supply of good
nourishing diet is important. Certain
ly the cow should not be allowed to
cast her cleanings (placenta); apart
from the absorption of putrefactive
material, it is likely to cause acute
indigestion

Salt Varies With Market.

The amount of salt required for but.
ter depends somewhat upon the mar
ket for which it is intended. In gen.
eral, it varies but little at the differ
ent creameries of the country. Iowa
State college requires dairy students
to salt butter at the rate of five pounds
of salt to 100 pounds of butter. This
is at the rate of l 1-5 ounces per
pound, and is probably about the av-
erage used at all creameries. Some
use more salt, even as high as seven
pounds per 100 pounds of butter. and
some few as low as four pounds.

Floor Stain,

An inexpensive floor stain: One
ounce of permanganate of potash dis
solved in quart of warm water. Wood
painted with it when dry will be a
deep brown color and with enc coat of
varnish will look well. Must not allow
1t to touch the hands; 1t will stain tile
skin.

The latch shown in the illustration
is one of the most satisfactory the
writer has ever seen on a farm gate.

on one end so as to screw into the
gate post. On this is hung, by bolt
through it's ends and the iron bar, a
small iron rod which has been bent
into proper shape as shown in the

Against F. u. Officials

Dear Mr.. Watson: We send you
some resolutions for publication
adopted at regular meeting of Lo-

~, 1910:
Whereas there are grave public
charges standing against some of our
State officials Chat have never been
answered), namely, J. L. Lee,
Duckworth, Bodenhamer and Lad
son, and said charges are proving
very detrimental to the progress of
our order, and we feel that our or
ganization should not carry the en-
barrassment longer; therefore be it
Resolved, That our National
President, Charles S. Barrett, have
the matter investigated at once by
an impartial and fair-minded COM
mittee Of five members of the order,
that said committee meet in Atlanta
or Macon and that said investigation
be public, and if after investigation
said charges are not refuted then we
demand their immediate resignation
and that their places be filled with
capable, conscientious men who have
the good of the order at heart.
Second, "That we will stand for
the right and good of our noble in
stitution."
