good reason not to carry them in
stock The expense of buying one is
the best reason for their unpopular
ity.
The milliners, liking the effects Of
the aigrette, have determined to use
many other materials to take its place
therefore the new hats are trimmed
with silken wheat In the form of an
aigrette. Some of 1t is in the natural

TRIMMINGS THAT HAVE FAVOR
laces of Every Kind and Description
Are Among the First In Popu-
lar Esteem.

Among the favorite trimmings are
laces OF all kinds. among which are
Venise. Italian, filet and Milan laces.
Gold and silver laces are also used on
some OF the more elaborate gowns.
Hand embroidery is much seen. A
number of beaded trimmings are
shown, and there seems to be a ten
dency to favor large beads somewhat
on the order of Indian beads, which
are noted on several of the Paquin
models.
Braids OF all kinds are used on tail
or made suits and dresses, in various
widths, In plain and fancy designs
Fringe. tassels and braid ornaments
are also among the trimmings and
arouse much attention. Silk fagoting
is used to a great extent on many of
the best models. There is also quite
a liberal use made of velvet ribbon,
which was employed largely for
sashes, in both black and colors.

Linen is Cooler.

Linen sheets, on account of the
tendency to withstand wrinkling and
rumpling for a longer time, are much
cooler for use in the summertime than
are those OF muslin
OF course. the fact that sheets
should never be ironed is legion, but
where one cannot afford linen sheets
the muslin ones can be gone over
with clean, cold iron, as this will
prove to reduce the rumpling that ac-
companied the desire for cooler spot
on the hot nights of the middle
months OF summer.

By R, G. wEArHERsroNE,

The hog house floor is an unsettled
question. good floor is the ground
with woven wire stretched on top TO
prevent the hogs from roofing. Elec-
trically welded corncrib wire is very
satisfactory. This makes floor which
Is easy on the hogs. almost free from
rats, and. If properly bedded, warm
and dry. 1t is. however. more difficult
to keep free from dust than some
other floors. Many concrete floors are
used. but they are cold, liable to be
wet. and are hard on the hogs feet
Often almost an entire pig crop and
many sows are lost by taking cold on
concrete floors. Concrete floors are.
however, very satisfactory when COW
cred with plank overlays, or false
floors, which should be raised from
the concrete about an inch by mailing
cleats on the under side. The wood
portion of this floor consists of Q by 4
inch timbers laid about one-fourth
inch apart to allow drainage.
Board floors are expensive, short
lived. cold II up of the ground, and
make the worst kind of rat harbors.
The writer once visited an old hog
house with wood floor in which the
owner said the rats had gotten over
half the pigs. Several men report
that rats may be kept out by packing
sand or cinders to the top of the joists
before laying the floor. but these
materials are often too expensive to
be used for this purpose.
In making the inside partitions, care
should always be taken to have them
perfectly tight at the floor and for
about 10 to IL inches above, SO that
young pigs cannot crawl through, and
SO sows In the adjoining pens cannot
get hold OF them and pull them
through. A SOW will often pull newly
born pig through under a partition
and eat It. when. If the pig was in
the pen with her. 1t would be perfectly
safe. Above the first 10 or 10 inches
1t is better to have the partitions open
enough SO the hogs can see out, other
wise at every sound the sows will be
up on the partitions to see what is
going on.
Pig rails or guard rails should be
placed on the inside of the pen, from
to 10 inches from the floor. accord

elaborated and abundant. Ribbons,
soft and lustrous and gay. small, gar
den or field flowers make up their
trimmings. Gauze ribbons are often
used and are in keeping with the rest
of the airy fabrics. Occasionally a
bonnet is provided with ties but the
elastic fastener is used in most cases
and is comfortable and secure, that
is, as secure as any method of fasten-
ing in use at present
Nearly all these bonnets are made
up in white, but the pale blues and
pinks are not entirely neglected. IT
is said white ones can be tinted to
pale shades, by processes known to
the milliner.

THESE pictures of lovely bonnets
show what happens to the sun
bonnet when the milliner makes
1t of her dainty and soft materials.
Made Of lace. chiffon. thin and lus-
trous silks and straws almost as pill
able. with occasionally the sheerest
batiste or Swiss embroidery, the sun
bonnet almost loses its identity. 1t
becomes wonderful example of mil
lnery art and finds welcome in
hearts already warmly attached to its
plain, work-a-day predecessor.
These elaborate pieces of headgear
are only intended for occasional wear
and may therefore be as fragile as
any dream. They are indeed among
those millinery dreams" which cost
many substantial dollars, for much
material and much work goes into
their making.

BENEFITS OF

vantage on my farm. In some respects

two hours twice a day and my stock

times through the day.

made from gum lumber Is feet long

and is IS feet long, 2S inches wide and
IA inches deep.
l have rubber hose to fit over the
mouth of the pump which is five feet
long and leads to the trough and at
the end OF my trough have an inch
and three-quarters iron pipe that inter-
sects 1t about one inch from the top.
1t comes straight down to the ground
with an elbow allowing II to go along
on the ground to ditch.
My pipe is three inches under the
ground from being mashed by the
larger animals.
When the summer is over and 1t
begins to rain | hook up to my wind
mill and bring 1t to the house, which
requires but short while. connect 1t
to my pump at the house to use in
pumping water for my stock after /

also for the use of watering the house
/ have rubber hose IA feet long
which ] use in washing of my buggy
and wagon. ! also use 1t for washing
my horses feet and legs as the wind
mill forces a powerful and effective
stream.
By means OF the patent self-locking
and unlocking method | can stand on
the ground and stop or start my wind
mill by pulling the cord which hangs
down beside the frame. My windmill
cost me $54 but a good mill can be
purchased for $3.50 and up.
Counting the three months that l
keep my stock In the pasture and
three hodrs' work per day at 10 cents
per hour which is the minimum wages
for farm hands. the windmill will save
