WHAT IS CHIC Z
Some SeasonabIe Suggestions For the
Student of Dress.

Tailored suits for young girls differ
little from the styles worn by women,
save that skirts are shorter and coats
have a more youthful elaboration in
the way of bright facing and buttons
and the like.
The little round cap Of heavy worsted
that originated last summer in France
has taken great hold. 1t is ideal for
motoring.
Quite the latest toque is of pure
white feathers, trimmed with single
small white bird or cluster of white
marabOu feathers.
Chemisettes are pow of colored chif-
f0n, made perfectly plain.

Too Much SpOoning When Moth

The mother who allows 16-year-old
daughter to float around the oommun-
ity in a top buggy till 2 a. M, with
a counterfeit sport with weak jaw
and weaker morals, simply opens the
front door to grief and disgrace. If
you don't know what company your
girls keep or what time of night she
turns in, your roar when the gossips
get busy will sound like the wheeze of
disabled Jewsharp-jus about as
touching and pathetic. The girl who
insists on spooning with every male
being in the corporate limits ought to
be backed into the woodshed and re-
lieved of her overflow of affection with
a number II slipper laid across the
hiplets. We would sooner see a girl
kiss blind shoat through a barbed
wire fence than to have her change
partners six nights week in the front
parlor with the lights turned low. 1t
is harder to marry off girl who has

December 11th, the meeting was
adjourned.

1t is still true that the Richfield tract
does not supply enough butter and
eggs for its own needs. Dairymen and
poulterers from every direction-north
south, east and west-ship in their
stuff, more or less fresh and inviting
as it may be, and Richfeld pays for it
in good hard cash. The money sent
out for these products alone would
make this country prosperous.
1t shouldn't be an appalling task to
get hens to lay here. Start with a
good breed; give them well-ventilated,
well-lighted quarters; give them
enough room so that they don't have to
roost in the barn, on the harness, on
the machinery, and be kicked like foot
balls from any of the places where
they should not be forced to find a
roost; feed them as you would feed
yourself and they should be real
mints.
The Richfeld country is bound to be
one of the finest dairy sections of Ida
no. The altitude is right to keep off
the flies; the water is good; the rains
are not cold and searching; the cold is
not excessive. With alfalfa producing
as it does, and with corn a fine possi-
bility, with beets and carrots and bar
ley and potatoes fairly aching to get
chance to grow big and prosperous,
there is everything for the production
and protection of milk It will require
work all the year around, of course;
but when every week, every day, is
bringing profit, and there is no limit
to the market for all the good dairy
products that can be produced, dairy
ing looks like string of gold mines for
the Richfeld farmer.
And while the Richfied farmer is
considering what will pay, he might
investigate the hog business. Tons
and tons of eastern bacon is shipped in,
at high rate, and after paying two or
three or four commissions to packers
and wholesalers and jobbers and re-
tailers, and the freight from half way
across the continent. Hogs could be
raised here for less money than almost
any other section of the country; yet
the eastern packer has monopoly of
the local markets. Why, the local
farmer, and the farmers wife, could
put up sugar-cured hams and bacon
that would drive the factory product
off the face of the earth, and for
their pay take all the difference be-
tween the price of the raw product and
the retail price of the goods ready to
serve on the table Alfalfa and clover
pigs, with a little skim milk and grain
to keep them growing, and a little

more gaain 10 tatten them, would be
the finest pork in the land; good
enough to make the Jew forget his
traditions, the vegetarian his preju-
dices, and the dyspeptic his pains.
And it would pay so well.
And then the market is fairly
a-honing for more and better small
fruits. When you ship in wooden
skeleton with layer of berries spread
across it and called by courtesy
quart, and pay about three prices
for it or go without even taste of the
luscious berries that could be grown
here by the train loads-when you buy
at the high price of these importsd
frauds or go without in the laufiabls
desire to rebuke the fraud, you don't
get half the enjoyment of life that you
should. 1t would be as easy to grow
berries here as it would be to grow
potatoes or cabbage or beets. There
could be an immense market built mp
for raspberries and blackberry juice,
just as the demand for unfermented
grape juice and pineapple juice have
been so enormously increased in the
past few years. Richfield could make
herself world-famous by developing
the raspberry and blackberry juice
trade The products are superior to
the grape or pineapple products; they
would fill long-felt want in the body
polite. And they'd sure fill the
pockets of the growers who started the
business.
OF course, the winter apple goes
without saying as one of the finest
things possible for the Richfield farm
er. Five thousand acres of two or
three of the staple varieties would
make this realsgarden of Eden and
King Solomon s Mines all in one. To
plant selected trees, see to it that they
are we'll cared for, that [the trees are
sprayed and that never worm is left
to bloom unseen until you bite into the
otherwise perfect fruit, and to pack
the stuff so that the Richfeld label is a
badge of honor, there isn't anything
beyond the ability of any one to do
rightly. Instead of wasting gold
mines and banks and breweries, it
would soon become a synonym for
wealth and independence to say that
one owned Richfeld apple orchard.
1t is true it takes some Fmoney to
start all, or any Of these nice things.
This isn't country to care for itself.
1t has done that after fashion and
sage brush is about the on y product
You have to put something INTO it, and
then keep everlasting at it. But no
where on earth can one get better re-
turns for his labor.

New Style Farming
Dynamiting the Soil to Give the Little
Roots Chance to Grow.

At the Agricultural department in
Washington the experiments being
conducted in various portions of the
country under the direction of the
agricultural colleges of different states,
in farming with dynamite are being
watched with great interest. A pre-
liminary report has just issued from
the Census Department showing that
there are $50 great fertilizing produce
ing concerns in the country, and that
in 1909 the value of their products was
SOB, $50, 600. If the theory attached to
the use of dynamite in agricultural
pursuits is found to be correct, and the
Du Pont Company is evidently so sure
of it that they are spending large sums
to prove their claims, then all this
great outlay for fertilizers will be un-
necessary. 1t is poinned out that in
ordinary blowing the same cid sell is
merely turned over only few inches
from the surface year after year, and
a decrease in crops is only prevented
by rotation of expensive fertilizing.
The theory for farming with dyna-
mite is that by planting sticks of
dynamite at regular intervals of space,
and exploding them, that the under
lying soil is disturbed to depth of
several feet, making it porous and cap
able of absorbing plenty of water in
rainy weather, and this water, which is
the principal plant food is drawn to the
top by the roots of the plants as needed
for its growth, carrying with it not on
ly moisture but necessary soluble ferti-
lizing elements.
In the cotton fields of the south, pro-
iuction has been multiplied several
times over from plowing with dyna-
mite, while increases of thirty-three
per cent are reported from corn fields.
Melon patches also show remarkable
Yields.
J. H. Hale, the great orchardist
from Connecticut, has become con-
