CLEVER IDEAS
FOR SUMMER.
NOW's the Time to Buy Ready
Made Gowns.

Now that the summer season is at
its height, the lines of hats, gowns,
parasols, and all are reduced to the
fewest, and the result is simplicity.
Isn't that always the story?
Almost every seasons opening finds
the woman with limited income and
good taste reduced to despair. There
is nothing in the shops that she can
have. That is, nothing that she would
have, that she can.
Extremes of new styles are every
where that her purse reaches. OF
course, the best shops always show an
avoidance of excesses, but for obvious
reasons the best shops are not her
shops. She must search around among
the others, and her soul faints within
her at the monstrous hats, the over
trimmed suits and dresses, the cheap
gingerbready neckwear.
And this suggests the question, why
is it that the simple unadorned gar
ments are always the most expensive?
One would think the makers could
save on the trimmings and laces, and
give materials of good quality and
good cut for the same prices that they
sell $1,000O00 worth of coarse lace,
soutache braid that everywhere marks
suit as ready made. dinlxy little
bows, gilt and lace motifs, so-called,
that spoil what might have been a
nice plain collar. To come back TO
tha original matter. now is the time
when the summer styles are at their
prettiest. most tasteful and simplest.
Now is good time to buy ready made
gowns, both because from now on the
prices viii be reduced and because all
the best designs have been copied in
cheaper goods-the best gowns, 1t can
not be said too often, being simple in
outline and detail, effective because OF
material and cutting.

TIMELY HINTS
/ FOR FARMERS
Breed larue Horses.

Large work horses are preferable on
the farm and in the market. The trim
roadster is not in such demand as for
merly, and the driver and coach, once
the favorite in the cities and still COM
manding high prices, is being crowded
by the automobile. The Belgians,
Shires, Clydesdales and Percherons
are always in demand, and young
horses of these breeds command al
most fabulous prices.
4 Many farmers stand back from
growing good grade draft colts be
cause of high price stallion fees. 1t is
true that service fees from pure draft
stations are high, but considering the
cost of the animals and the high quail
itfes in them which they are able to
transmit to their foals the price, after
all, is not out of reason In the end it
is a sound investment for the farmer
who has mares to breed or who can
secure them for work and breeding
purposes.

a circular cut designed more especially
for small girls play, because the full

length, taken into band cuffs, and the
garment is prettily trimmed with mar

At the same price rompers may be

years of age. The material is checked

The hog that is not properly water

which is the forerunner to many trou.

keeping the bowels in the right condi-
tion to prevent constipation, which is
one of the relentless foes Of the feed

CARING FOR THE
! COW PASTURE.
It Pays to FertiIize and Elm
! mate Weeds and Wet Spots.

The dairy farmer has two great OBJ
jects before him-the production of a
pure product and the reduction of cost
Both of these objects are favored by
having good pasture. Most pastures
could be improved. The work required
to make improvements would be many
times repaid by the increased feed and
Its enhanced palatability.
A little time with the scythe or now
ing machine will get rid of unsightly
weeds that can be eaten by the animals
and taint the milk, besides crowding
and shading the grasses. AS most pas
ture lots have low places in them the
introduction of the drains will accom-
plish great good in making the low
places that are barren, grown UP to
wild grasses or crowded with weeds
the most luxurIant spots in the field.
The drain will be paid in single sea-
son, and after that the results will CON
stantly increase in value Scarcely a
person thinks of fertilizing the pasture.
The application of barnyard manure
will help as well as when applied to
the annual crops, and commercial fer
tilizers have place in the farming
operations. Still another practice that
will enable the dairy farmer to reduce
the cost by growing more food upon
his pasture is the renewal Of its
grasses. If the land is drained and
fortified, then by the Introduction Of
new grasses the pasture can be made
more abundant and be extended over
a larger portion of the summer And
yet, again, move the cows from one lot
to another. Farm Progress.
