SEAL TOQUES ARE NOW

Fashionable Partisan femininity
mas taken nightly to the seal and
skunk toques, or rather caps, which
cover the hair and head from fore
mead to the nape of the neck and are
literally hidden with enormous white
or black egrets inserted at the base
of the cap.
These hats cost fabulous sums and
are being worn at the present mo-
ment, although they will soon be dis
caided for lighter millinery.
1t is said that the Argentines are
spending more in Cress in Paris than
the English, French and North
Americans united and most of these
extensively egreted caps are worn by
these very pretty, wealthy women

Specialized Farming.

Miss Jessie Nicholson Inherited a
farm of 225 acres in New Jersey
which her father had farmed in the
old way. When she took it she re
allied that the new way to do things
Is to specialize, SO she began to do
this on the farm. She raises Canada
Held peas, her own hay and makes
a silo, sells chickens and milk, and
that is all. There are 100 cows and
she puts away $4,000 each year.

Service has long way to go before
It gets to be loyalty.
The pieces commonly used for
corning are 1.-The cheaper cuts of meat,
such as the plate, rump, cross ribs
and brisket, says w. H. Tomhave of
the university farm of ST. Paul. Mimi.
The meat should be cut into medium
sized pieceS, So that 1t will pack well
in jar Or barrel. It should be well
cooled Or corned before decay sets
in, Or 1t will spoil the brine. For
each 100 pounds of meat weigh out
eight pounds of salt, and sprinkle a
layer of about "a quarter of an inch
in depth over the bottom OF the YES
sci, and then pack in a layer OF meat
five or six inches in thickness. On
top of this put layer of salt, follow
ed by layer of meat, until all the
meat is packed in the vessel. Keep
enough salt for good layer over the
top of the last layer of meat. After
this has stood over night add for
every 100 pounds of meat four pounds
of sugar, two ounces of baking soda
and four ounces of saltpeter, all dis
solved in gallon of warm water.
When this is cool, pour it over the
meat, and add enough cold water to
cover the meat. Weight it down
with a.loose board, held in place by
means OF a clean stone, to keep the
meat under the brine. It should be
left in the brine from rs to 40 days
before II = ready for use.

Proper Collars.

We should never use a pad under
the collar or use soft mucky hot wet
collar. We should look to the comfort
of the shoulders of the faithful horses
and mules. The use of close-fitting
hard smooth collars will prevent sore
shoulders on many horses and mules.
The pad often scalds the mules Shout
der,
Hard smooth leather collars or iron
collars should be used at all times.
More shoulders are hurt by the use of
too large rather than too small col
lars. Clcse-ftting collars should be
used.

C0RKS TO KEEP PICTURES
FROM ABSORBING DAMP

One is often annoyed by having
valuable pictures show signs of yell
lowing or spotting when hung up
against the wall. This is caused by
the picture absorbing the dampness
from the wall.
To prevent this get some new corks
and cut them in two, passing short
pin through each piece that the point
protrudes at the other end.
Fix one piece on each of the lower
corners of the picture frames. This
prevents the frames touching the
walls and permits current of air
to pass in back, carrying off all damp
and moisture which would otherwise
be absorbed by the pictures.
