thirty miles of the track were washed
away, and the train was left stranded
on sandy waste. Many persons who
lived on Bolivar peninsula were saved
from death by taking refuge i'm the
train. After the storm subsidized they
walked to Bolivar with the passengers.
but the abandoned train was left on
the prairie
The storm bankrupted the railway.
and no effort TO rescue the engine and
cars was made until 1903. Had not
the road suffered so seriously i'm that

OF great value a few months later.

RAISING FUEL
FOR HOUSEHOLD
Systematic Planting and CuItiva-
ton of Forest Trees Is Branch
of Agriculture Yet in
Infancy.

(By r. p, BCCKHAM, Salem, Mass)
A very small acreage of woodland.
II properly handled, can be made to
yield the necessary fuel for the house
hold, from year to year, and yet main
tain an average growth, or even in
crease In value.
The tree growth Of the woodlot
should be encouraged In every possible
way All dead wood should be con
scientiously removed and added to the
woodpile 1t will serve we'll as excel
lent kindling, at least, and does away
with one of the chief sources of dis
ease among growing wood. 1t has
been proven that a very large per
centage of all the ailments of forest
trees arises from the decaying dead
wood lying about them.
Thinning correctly is a second re
quisite to making the woodlot most
profitable. Where the standing growth
is too close, all are compelled to suf-
fer for the lack Of air and light
Hence some can well be removed, to
the benefit of the remainder.
Where an area of any dimensions
has been laid bare, it should be re
seeded Immediately, if the second
growth does not start satisfactorily.
1t is as poor economy to allow parts

HAT FACING Is DIFFICULT
Few Words on Subject That Causes
Amateur MiIliner Much
Anxiety.

Nothing is more difficult to the
amateur milliner than the facing of a
hat-and nowadays every hat is faced,
usually with silk or satin. A few
words on the subject will not, there
fore, come amiss
Cut from tissue paper a pattern that
is rather larger than your required
size, and fold and crease it until it ex.
actly fits the hat brim. Then cut out
your velvet or satin form and haste
in place. Always plenty of basting-
remember that.
Then turn in the outer edge. basic
1t down and blind stitch it. Use tiny
stitches and leave absolutely no gaps.
The silk facing may be plated into
shape, instead, and fastened down by
a cord or braid or a velvet binding.
The lace facings should be shirred
around the crown, very full, to allow
for the difference Of circumference
with the outer edge.
Even hat facings are yelled nova
days-tulle and chiffon over silk are
frequently seen. Use extreme care,
however, and even this delicate work
will go off well

The Bathroom Rug.

Some 6Ort of pretty rug is neces-
sary to put beside the bath tub to step
out upon, and it is essential that it
should be of some material in which
the cOlors are well set There are on
sale cork mats and others which re-
semble turkish toweling, except they
are of heavy weight, but the rug to be
made at home is frequently in de-
mand.
One is made of coarse basket can
vas, with a plushlike center, the en-
broidery being worked with thick in
grain or colOred cotton. and each
stitch crossing over ore thread of the
material. The pattern may be work
ed all over or merely as a border with
a plain center, but when covered all
over the mat will not be so likely to
show discolorations of water.
Odd lengths of brussels carpet may
be turned to good account for mats,
with a finish on the ends of worsted
fringe or a binding of heavy uphol-
s.eTy braid

Perhaps the barbaric splendor with
which We dress today asserts itself
most in the belt where large canoes
end coral are introduced. Indeed,
coIG' is very much to the fore lust
now in the way of ornaments. It is a
color too, which goes well with black.
Iridescent materials have found
their way even to tailor-made gowns.
and the multi-colored embroideries
which SAVIOR of the moyen age are
very frequently introduced, so that
they accord in tint and in style with
the ornaments worn. These barbaric
belts are rivals to the bavarian, some
times called venetian, belts, formed Of
panne velvet, with deep points in
front and plenty of boning.

made up do not vary rapidly and rad
ically. Like a diamond in an old
style setting, fashion does not in
tiuence value to any great extent
Long straight neck pieces or scarfs
are always in style, and the beautiful
rug and large pillow muffs have a
distinction that may defy the vagaries
of the tickle goddess Of Fashion.
Wide soft seats of crepe de chine
or other silk, or OF satin. bordered
with fur or feathers, are likewise al
ways fashionable with us, and every
season ostrich borders appear in nov
elites for the neck
The initial expense Of good furs is
a considerable amount, but, in The
long run, good fur garment is about
the least expensive of all our APP
parel.

By W. H UNDERWORLD
In raising pigs there are several
things, very essential, which are diff
cult to secure in the right deEee in
the winter time, and which sometimes
make the winter litter rather costly.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
and they must have it for their eco
nomical growth. This has been fully
demonstrated by the experiment sta
tions in the different fattenfng trials.
The cost Of the grain in several in
stances was almost double with out
side feeding as compared with a warm
shelter, all other things being as near
ly equal as was possible
Warmth is even more of a neces-
sity to the sucking pig, and to OBJ
tain that warmth and give the little
fellow sufficient amount of exercise
is where the difficulty comes in.
1t is an easy matter to make the
bed warm enough, but as soon as the
pig leaves the nest for exercise out in
the open, 1t becomes chilly and soon
returns to the warm bed. Not taking
exercise sufficient to keep it from be
coming too fat, thumps follow and
death ensues. An abundance of eXer-
else is necessary to avoid the thumps

Good furs are an excellent invest

not to keep pace with the increasing

weather was very cold and for want
OF better place to keep them than
the one in which they were farrowed,
penned up little corner of the COW
stable In which were kept at night
80 head of cattle. The building was

comfortable. This proved to be al

They were given fresh bedding

grew exceedingly fast
Under ordinary farm conditions It is
a doubtful proposition to attempt to
raise many winter pigs with good re-
suits, but under special conditions a
few filters may be made profitable.
The greatest obstacle is to provide
enough warm space for the pigs to run
about freely without becoming chilled
