OF any birds in this state for the next
five years. When the birds are exter-
minated, or materially reduced In num-
ber, the farmers only protection
against insects is gone. The D,ackbrd,
according to my personal observation,
IL one of the worst foes the insect
pests have; even the crow, which Is
made a special target for bird slaugh-
terers, pays for his board and keep
many times over in his greed for in
sect pests. I think the farmers In
northern Illinois who have lately or
ganized for crow hunts are making an
expensive mistake"

birds, advancing arguments OF senti-

Notes on the County Fair.

The ice cream cones this year are
quite satisfactory. although they .st'il
have the same old fault of leaking out
of the bottom after you have held
them in your hand Is or 20 minutes.
The ice cream drips out of the bottom
of the cone and spolls fawn- colored
vest in about minute and half.
What Is needed Is a tin ice cream cone
that can he soldered up. A tin cone
would be much easier to digest than
some we get nowadays.

The homemade taffy, which you see
thrown over hlok and pulled by a
man with dark gloves on. is just as
tasty as ever. OF course the man
does not wear dark gloves. There Is
one expert out at the fair who can
throw this candy in the air and make
figure eight out of 1t in transit and
keep 1t off the ground most every
time. He only dropped 1t three times
while we were watching him yesterday
and when he spread 1t out on the mar
BILE slab and shipped 1t off into five

a bit wary of this style as yet, but 1t Is
predicted by even conservative tailors
that this new garment, which has thrown
womankind into panic. will be generally
adopted within a year. Perhaps one
should say that it is mankind who has
been thrown into panic, for womankind,
one observes, is taking the trousers skirt
rather seriously. Woman'a attitude toward
this new arrival In her domain of dress
is carefully considerating one. She is
not making fun of the trousers skirt.
She is weighing it--seriously-in her mind.
One can. tell that by watching the ex-
pressions of women as they look at the
models Of this garment exhibited in shop

ers from seeds is assured, under normal
conditions, if they are started in well
screened or sifted soil.
1t is not enough to have it so at the be-
ginning. At no time may the dirt harden
and settle If best results are to be OBJ
tanned. At all times, after the seeds have
put forth shoots, the soil must be kept
fine. Not only then are the roots aided
in making growth, but more moisture
reaches them. 1t is practically impos-
sible to work or cultivate a garden too
much, taking care always not to disturb
the roots.
The amateur gardener who wishes sue

Weekend Journeys to country houses
after the coronation fortnight little tailor
ed suits of linen and mOhair are being
ordered. Coronation comes in June, and
even in the equable English climate June
and July make lightweight tailored wear
most comfortable. The fashionable linen
colOrs this year are rosy pink called
coral. though the color has not the glar-
ing vividness which coral usually has in
fabric form, and a yellowish ecru which
is especially dainty and attractive. Linen
suits are made much like the wool tailor
ed models, with narrow straight skirts
that well escape the ground and with
panels set in at back and front to relieve
the stretched tightness of the "hobble'
garment of the winter. The jackets are
jaunty and quite short, and in many
cases they fasten across far to one side
with one or two fancy buttons. Braided
and -lace-trimmed linen suits are display
ed invitingly in the shops, but somehow
or other a braided linen suit always has
a matronly suggestion. 1t never looks
chic and young. and most women prefer
to have ornamentation on costumes for
more ceremonious use keeping the trig
little linen suit in proper tailored plain
ness for runabout street wear.

The handkerchief parasols are compare
lively new. They were seen last year.
but this year the style is shown in less
expensive sunshades and bids fair to be
a summer favorite. The big squares over
lie each other in such a way that there
are eight handkerchief points for the
eight ribs of the parasol. and usually only
the top square is lined, so that four OF
the points are thin and transparent when
the parasol is lifted. Bandanna kerchiefs
and other inexpensive cotton printings
are used for these squares and usually
the handles are of inexpensive wood
stained to match the predominating color
of the squares.
Maple wood handles are much liked
with parasol covers of a light, dainty
character. and, of course, pimento wood
highly polished is the favorite for hand
