EAGER TO WORK.
Health Resained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
burden.
"A year ago. after recovering from
an OPERATION writes Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times l had no appe-
tite whatever. The food took did not
nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
81 lost interest In everything and
wanted to be alone. l had always had
good nerves, but now the merest trife
would upset me and bring on violent
headache. Walking across the room
was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.

but did not believe what read at the
time. At last when it seemed as II

COMBINE VELVET AND FUR

or infinite charm, and of undoubt-
eddy Just as much interest as MILL
merry, fur is a subject of which woman
never tires. 1t is especially important
in the discussion of allied fabrics this
season, for fashion has combined fur
with velvet, and the effects are regal.
There is skunk fur that is a very
good imitation of marten. For trim
ming any shades of velvet 1t is very
successful, for the brown tones are
harmonious on light orSlark shades.
Australian possum is another new
claimant for favor and raccoon is its

Scarfs, NUTS, wraps, gowns and hats
are successful and extremely lovely

GOOD HOT-BED MANAGEMENT
Valuable Assistant to Gardener and
Thorough knowledge Of Same
Leads to Success.

(By U. q. PATTEN.)
The hot-bed Is a valuable assistant
to the gardener and thorough knowl.
edge of the same leads to success.
My method after the first year is to
clean out each spring and mix thor
oughly the soil and old manure from
the beds and return 1t upon new, fresh
manure, adding new soil as needed.
After the beds become heated up
and the temperature drops to 80 de-
grees the seed is sown in drills foul
inches apart and covered according to
the kind of seed used. Water literally
and never let the soil get real dry.
Insert a thermometer into the soil
at the beginning and hold the heat
around 60 to 70 degrees by opening
or closing the sash as necessary.
In early spring old strips Of car
peting laid over the sash at night
keep the frost away and help to hold
the temperature even. When the
plants begin to show the third leaf,
remove to boxes three inches deep
holding the same kind of soil as that
in the bed.
This soil Is tamped down smooth
and solid. Then use a small stick like
lead-pencil to make the holes for
the plants, making them at least two
inches apart.
Drop the plants in. firm the soil and
then water we'll and return to hot-bed
box and all and proceed in the care
of them as though you had not dis
turbed them at all
When they get to be four inches
high proceed to harden them off by
removing the sash during the day, but
return it at night until the nights be.

This hardening process is very es.

Look after the tools.

Look after the tools.
Cooperate with your hired man as
much as you can.
Why not build farm tool house If
you have not one.
Beware of the travelling agent no
matter what he sells.
Tile draining must be done right or
1t is worse than useless.
Not near enough farmers have
acquired the habit of keeping books.
Treasure every potato, turnip, beet,
head of cabbage, etc. for the winter
feed.
A man who intends to tile drain his
field should study the subject care
fully.
Parsnips are improved by freezing
and many prefer to leave them out all
winter.
The total crops of the United States
this year will probably total up 1900
millions of dollars In value.
Look after the manure and use your
manure spreader freely while the
roads are in good condition.
Farming, to be successful, must be
conducted with as much method and
system as any other business.
These days can be put to good use
In getting the grindstone into service
and sharpening up things generally.
Farm labor is high and some of the
hours of winter months can be spent
to no better advantage than planning
economy of farm labor for next sea
son.
Farm labor economy consists in re.
serving as much time in certain sea
son for things that must be done and
can be done only then.
The cowpeas must be cut and re.
moved in sufficient time for thorough
preparation before the seed of the
next crop are to be sown.

brows. AS the season advances we
may expect to see little bonnets of
fur, or If not entirely of fur, then of
velvet and fur, or beaver cloth and
fur.
One of the prettiest shapes is a cap
of velvet with plated velvet edge,
trimmed with a novelty band in tar
nished brass effect. The band is fin
ished with an ornament made of the
same material. Another small black
velvet cap, whose crown is simply q
puff Of velvet, is finished with a
plated ruffie, very narrow, of shallow
box plaits about the face wreath of
metallic foliage set with little tight
silk roses, is an unforgettable finish.
These wreaths show little roses Of
folded lustrous silk, and metal cloth.
In several soft colors. Old blue, rose
pink and dark red, roses set sparing-
ly about long wreath of metallic

Metallic Embroidery.

The very newest in the ever-popular
scarf is quite capable of being made
up at home. It is a scarf of metal
tissue net-usually gold or silver
embroidered with wavy border of
narrow braid and an inner and more
complicated pattern of beads, all in
exactly the same tone. How beauti-
full this would be worked out, say, in
copper, or in iridescent net, can cas-
lily be imagined. 1t is work that is
charming to do, and is remarkably at
tractive when 1t is done. Never was
there an effect of so much opulence
for so little time and trouble

Velvet Bags.

When you gather up the scraps of
your velvet afternoon dress, don't
throw them away!
Make them up into soft bag that
should be carried with the dress 1t can
be square or round and whatever
other material you wish can be com
bined with it. A long silk cord, or sill
yer or gold If you wish the metallic
note must be attached. This is
thrown over the arm.
Beads, embroidery, little patches of
tapestry or brocade and braid or lace
are easy ways of decorating the fiat
upper surface.
Just as a personal touch, embroider
your monogram in a circle or diamond
down in one corner.
Paris is quite enthusiastic over these
bags and America promises to take up
the fashion. This is merely hint to
clever women.

Building An Icehouse.

1t is none too early to think about
building an icehouse. Ice is great
luxury in summer and as much OF
even more so than in the cities or
towns. An icehouse should be SC
constructed as to have double wall
or air space surrounding that por
ton above ground, and the cost OF
such will be but little compared with
the protection afforded. There should
also be double doors. 1t is not diff
cult to keep ice in a building above
ground II the double walls are used
and the ice securely packed.

A Mans SUGGESTION.

Potatoes will bake more quickly II
there is a fire in the stove. To keep
lettuce fresh and crisp place it in
the ice-chest and don't eat 1t. To tell
when pie is done hold It upside
down over the sink If baked suffi.
GENTLY it will fall out of the tin. To
keep the soup from boiling over re-
move the kettle from the stove But
ter will last longer If sprayed with
kerosene before serving. To keep the
dust from flying don't disturb 1t with
broom or cloth. Mere man says it.

Manure Conserves Moisture.

Barn-yard manure Increases the
water-holding capacity Of the soil I;
and instead Of dumping the manure
in some convenient, out-of-the-way
place, or leaving in the yard to de
teriorate, or to rot the structures
against which 1t is so frequently
piled, the farmer cannot only save
money, but at the same time con,
serve the moisture of his soil, by i'm.
mediately spreading it upon his
fields. To get manure onto the fields
quickly and effectively manure
spreader is very useful.

The demand for early celery is In
creasing. Most people prefer fall
celery, but highgrade article should
sell we'll during the entire summer.
Golden self-blanching is by far the
most popular early celery. It stands
for quality. White Plume is more
vigorous but less palatable.
