The Waist Line.

Though the waist line is less YER
satile than it used to be, and is more
and more inclined to assume the con-
ventional position, the empire effect
is still to be seen. For reception and
dancing gowns it is graceful, and the
soft outline it gives to the figure is
delightfully."- picturesque. But for the
street all this is out of place; it gives
the wearer a silhouette that is I'M
tidy, and suggests looseness that is
altogether Objectionable. In regard
also to evening gowns the same fault
may be found. So long as a toilette
is to be worn chiefly while walking or
standing, the short waist is permissi-
ble-even desirable-but for a din
ner, concert or theater 1t is no longer
so. The bust unconfined falls out of
shape, and the figure cut is most un-
attractive-and it is the realization of
this fact that has led to so many of
the newest evening bodices being
made with swathed draperies and
close fitting lines.

Do You Wear Mayonnaise YeIIowY

The names of the new colors, or
more correctly speaking, the new
names of old colors fashionable this
year, are so many that to attempt to
learn them all wearies one. Every

able namesake this year, and now
fashion is starting on the vegetables
and foodstuffs. The difference be-
tween butter color and mayonnaise
yellow must be at once distinguish
able by those who pretend to know
aught of the fine shadings Of gowns.
This is to be a season of bright col
ors. 1t must be said that there is a
more marked difference than usual
between the gowns of young people
and their mothers and that this diff
ference is noticeable chiefly in the
colors which they adopt.-Harper'

about. What we want to impress
upon your minds just now is that you
cannot afford not to build a silo If you
are in the stock business. You can
no more do without a manure spread
er or grain drill. There are some
things that are well settled over most
of our territory. There are sections,
say in the extreme north, where it is
more of question as to whether one
should build a silo or not, because
these northern farmers can grow roots
to much greater advantage than we
can and sligo is not so practicable
in very long and cold winter on &C
count of the freezing. This, however,
is only in the extreme northern Sec
tons. Throughout the corn belt the
silo should be regarded as an absolute
necessity on the stock farm in every
section where there is liability of sumo
mer drought.

Onion Culture,

Much labor and alertness attends
the raising of q crop of onions and it
takes experience to produce crop
successful in every particular. No
beginner should attempt to raise
onions from seed On a large scale. A
quarter of an acre should be the
maximum limit for beginner. In
most cases less would be more ad-
visable. This would be enough to
lead him step by step into the work
successfully.

to Amount of $1,000.

Advices have been received from
Waterloo, Iowa, stating that G. w,
Reynolds, the smooth check artist,
