BOXES FOR THE BRIDES CAKE

The statement that it is not what

counts, verges on the trite; but it is
particularly applicable in the little
things that contribute toward a pleas

A wedding cake is no longer kept
for weeks and weeks; it is cut into lit

guests and friends of the happy pair.
Just how to give this in an attractive

A BRIDAL LUNCHEON
NEW IDEAS IN TABLE DECORA-
TON AND PLACE CARDS.
How the Hostess May Easily Evolve
Something Attractive for Lunch
cons, Teas and Dinners Con-
nected With Marriage.

Every hostess takes pride in invest
Ing novel and pretty decorations for
her luncheons, teas and dinners, and
she takes special pride when the guest
of honor is a young bride or bride-to-
be. 1t is never a difficult matter to
evolve something attractive for fes-
tivity connected with marriage, for
there are SO many charming designs
that can be used-cupids. hearts, we'd
ding bells, wedding rings and the
like
At recent luncheon given for an
engaged girl the color scheme was
pink and white, pink being the IA
vorite color of the bride-elect. The
hostess was the latter's closest friend
and all the guests were intimates OF
the two which made the luncheon a
very jolly affair.
The chandelier, above the table, was
festOOned with pink and white tulle,
and suspended from it was a large
golden hoop Stimulating wedding
ring. From the hoop streamers of
pink and white ribbon stretched to
each cover, held in place there by
tiny cupids, each cupid bearing card
with the name of the guest to whom
the place had been assigned. Bride
roses filled a cut glass bowl in the
center of the table, were clustered
in vases and bowls on sideboard and
mantel, and nodded in banks from the
low window seats.
Yellow luncheons are very appropri-
ate when the guest of honor is a bride,
since yellow suggests sunshine. At
one such luncheon in early summer

field daisies with yellow hearts and

Ground Plan of Piggery.

An unfinished, stunted hog weighing

and the hair has a dead appearance.
The meat from an unthrifty hog is
always soft and that from thin hogs
is usually soft.
Special attention should be paid to
housing the swine. Hogs are more
disturbed by wind than any other
farm animal and their shelter should
thoroughly protect them from wind
and from draughts.
The piggery shown here is a salts

1t is desired to use the building for
fattening hogs. The doors leading to
the yards are raised from the central

an article advertised in this paper year
after year you can be absolutely certain
that there is merit to it because the con-

merit and to keep on advertising one
must keep on selling. All good things
have imitators. but limitations are not adj
vertiscd They have no reputation to sus-
tain. they never expect to have any per-
manent sale and your dealer would never
sell them if he studied your interests.
Sixteen years ago Aliens Foot-Ease, the
antiseptic Powder for the feet, was first
sold, and through newspaper advertising
and through people telling each other
what good thing it was for tired and

have been put on the market with the
hope of profiting by the reputation which

Fashions for Boys.

An occasional suit in heavy pongee
is seen, even for the boy of ten, and
this too, is self-trimmed and finished
with the strictest tailor effects, as a
first-class outing shirt for man
would be. The waist which older boys
are best pleased with has a center box
nlait, and one or more pockets. A
heavy leather belt, with large buckle
and a soft tie, often a Windsor, are
the usual accomplishments to such
suits. Low, rolling collars are pro,

high turnover form is preferred for
the older boy.-Harper's Bazaar.

RAISING CALF ON SKIN MILK
Much of Success Depends Upon Care
of Little AnimaI-Proper Shell
ter Is Essential.
(By r. A. BOARMAN.)


In case of the stere calf which will
become a feeder, while he should be
growthy, he should be kept reasona-
bly, fat He is the calf which should
have the corn and should have the
fatmaking foods.
He should be reared in just the op-
posite direction, as compared with the
heifer calf 1t will not hurt the steer
calf even to have his drink or skim
milk when he is six or seven months
old, If there Is a surplus but skim
milk cannot be utilized to as good
advantage as in the case of the heifer.
The best skim milk calves are those
which are born in the fall of the year.
Their young life is spent in a more
favorable season. The milk they get
than the milk which the spring calf
will get.
If you select dairy blood for your
herd, one of the things which should
your final decision Is the vitality OF
the breed you select.
This shows up particularly strong
in the calf during the first few months
of his life. Dairy breeds, as you know,
are not all equal in vitality. My ex-
perience in raising calves on skim
milk has been confined principally to
the rearing of Holstein calves.
| want to say in this connection in
our CWn herd a calf never sucked
it's mother and in this way, after ten
or twelve years of breeding, the suck
ing instinct was largely bred out of
the calves. These calves were easily
taught to drink.
Not all of the success of rearing
skim milk calves depends upon the
feed or upon the breed. Very much
indeed depends upon the care of the
calf, and feed without proper shell
ter will avail but little.
The calf must be made comfortable
in warm as we'll as cold weather. If
he is not failure will result. Let your
feeding arrangement be such that
each calf get his share.
Do not, as l have seen on many
farms, pour the milk into a tub or
trough and let the calf fight for
his share. There Is no chance for
disagreement on this point. This is
not feding.
1t will be found advisable, summer
or winter, to arrange that each calf
can get his individual share of the
food, in a yard in the summer time
or in a pen in the winter.
II you have plenty of time it will
be found advisable to tie each calf
at each feeding. Tie around each
Calls neck a ring two inches in di
ameter with a light rope.
Give each calf a place at post and
staple to the post two feet above the
ground rope not more than eight
or ten inches long with a swivel snap
/ in the end.
Have these ropes far enough apart
to prevent the calves from reaching
| each other and you will have no trou
BILE from the calves sucking one an
others noses or ears. Keep the calves
tied until the milk is licked from their
! chops and noses.
If the calves be of about equal size
they may be turned loose to a trough
! in which is the grain food.

a. T. ,IS5NOTES IN

Shear the sheep before their wool
gets to be burden.
Keep the sheep pens clean. Dirt
and foul odors affect sheep quickly.
Never feed the young pigs on the
ground, especially if it is dusty or
muddy.
No sheep has yet been developed
which excels in both mutton and wool
production.
Sheep must be grown rapidly while
large size.
A horse that is afraid of the cleo
trio cars can never be taught what
they are by whipping.
i. Sell your wool on a rising market
Nine times out of ten you will miss 1t
if you try to keep it for something
better.
If a good lamb comes from good
eve save it for your own flock
Don't let any butcher talk you into
selling it.
The boar pigs should be castrated
at two to eight weeks old, so they
will recover from the effects before
weaving time.
There is little money in poor sheep.
They will just about eat a man QUO
of house and home. Good ones or
none-thats the motto for us all.
Sufficient care Is not exercised by
many In weaving out the ewes that
breed irregularly, and because OF this
the uniformity In the size OF the lamb
crop Is reduced.

stretched across the upper face of the
drum. The diaphragm carries weight
which, owing to its inertia, causes the
diaphragm to fiex in rhythm to the
movement of the horses head while
trotting or walking. This causes the
air in the drum to be alternately ex-

The Farmers Bows

The boy born and brought up on
the farm should be eager to take up
the burden where the father laws It
down, nay, even to undertake the
management during the years of pa
ternal deolination. Aided by the
experience gathered in many years
of faithful labor by the father, the
son will surely, when his path is
lighted by the lamp of improvement
and new knowledge gained, march
forward to success not dreamed
of in the days of infancy. Who
would engage lawyer who was
not thoroughly oonversant with all
the latest decisions of important
courts! Who would employ an
engineer who was thoroughly
Ignorant of the methods by which
a curve may be measured? Who
would employ farm manager who
was ignorant of the best methods of
tillage, of Matchmaking or milk
production? Then if the farm
manager, the hireling, so to speak
must be equipped with modern
knowledge, why may the owner of
his acres proceed from year to year
IN his one old rut? Above all, is
it not his duty if he feels too old
to change his ways, to give his sons
a new civilization to take their
places in the world as educated,
thinking men, able and willing to
study perplexing problems in the
light of approved knowledge?-J. H.

A Fact Plainly Stated

If girls were educated to take care
of themselves, they would not be SC
ready to marry, and they would
marry better have less trouble,
and there would be fewer divorces.
If they were brought up to work,
they would know how to use the
broom, duster and rolling pin.
There are certain qualities which
are just as valuable in housekeeper
and mother as they are in the busi-
ness man-skill, intelligence and
good sense. When those qualities
are rated a little higher in women
domestic machinery will run
smoother and children will be
brought up TO fight their own battles
and earn their own bread. We all
know what that will mean-less
crime, fewer paupers. The press
and loom instead of the prison, the
altar instead of the scaffold. Again
the question is asked, can a woman
follow a special calling and be "a
good mother? Love is born, so Is
good sense. 1t is not difference in
station or occupation that makes q
good mother-it is the spirit. Fur
thermore, some of the best mothers,
according to the old standard, wo-
men who toll early and late, who
never leave ther ihomes, who deny
themselves every comfort and give
up to every right, have the worst
children They do the hardest
work, they wear the poorest clothes,
and try to save their children from
every hardship, only to learn, when
it is too late, that they have made
them idle and selfish.

Cure for Headache.

One Of the very best remedies for a
sick or nervous headache was suggest
ed to me recently by a Finnish serv-
ant girl. She took raw potatoes with
out either washing or pairing and cut
them into thick slices. These were
laid close together on the forehead and
temples and kept in place by covering
with a large handkerchief folded cor
nerwise and tied in the back.
In short time the pain disappeared,
AS the pieces of potato get hot replace
with cold fresh ones.
They give all the GOODNESS Of ice
without the incidental dampness, and
there is not the burning sensation ice
often causes.
