The New Collar Pins.

It may be surprising to hear that
Dutch collar pins have gone. 1t is
only the name, however, that has
passed. Pierrot pins have taken their
place. The fan shaped Pierrot pin has
the advantage Of following the lines
of the frock where it meets the throat.
Bar pins are In the ascendency. A
becoming accessory to be worn with
Pierrot collars is black velvet col
larat with ieweled ornament.

Bedaine For Swine.

During dry times there is a temp
tation to allow the bedding to remain
too long in the nests and thus allow
the lice to get big start. They should
be cleaned as often as in wet, cold
seasons.
The old bedding makes a splendid
mulch for the newly set fruit trees.
Straw is cheap on the farm, and the
more you use in bedding the more fer
tilfty is carried to the land again.
If for no other reason than to have
plenty Of the best bedding, it Is handy
to have twenty acres of wheat or 9TH
er small grain to thrash each season.

One hundred dollars is not a high
