NEW YORK.-The inconsistency of

IN the picturesque flower muffs that
have lately appeared over the sar-
torial horizon. Nevertheless these un-
usual creations are considered among
the daintiest accessories introduced In

made to correspond with the covering
of the parasol or its decoration. One
of the prettiest flower NUTS we have
seen was made Of rose petals In
shades OF pink running from the
plainest tints OF Brides roses to the
softer tones OF the American Beauty
rose. The sunshade that accompanied
the muff was lined with white mousse

row shirrfngs. The rather deep shade
OF pink silk forming the foundations
of the parasol showed through just
enough to give lovely mellow effect.

sLovENLY METHODS ON FARM

(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)
Because Of lack of help much work
is being done that will prove a loss
to the farmer.
Instances such as where oats were
sown broadcast on unplowed land and
then attempts made to cover by using
a spring tooth harrow or by using a
disk drill on unplowed land are Ger.
tainly great mistakes.
One man down in Marion county.
Indiana, writes that he sows his oats
every year in February on unplowed
ground and let's the frost and rains
cover the seed for him.
Another writes his method Of plant
ing potatoes is to pillow open furrow
with a barshire pillow, drop the seed
and cover with the plow. running both
sides Of the open furrow, thus cover.
Ing and killing at the same time.
Well, We confess ignorance of what
results could be hoped for from these
methods or culture.
It looks as II too many farmers are
shifting their work OF upon costly ma.
chinery in the absence of proper help
regardless Of the consequences.
The man who rides on the sulky
corn pillow in cultivating his corn can.
not do good work.
The farmer who shirks or sights
his work will be the loser.
In whatever manner he plants, sows
or cultivates in q like respect will his
crops come to him.

KEEPING Wells IN CONDITION

The ready made lace veil will cost
from two dollars and half to four

sold by the yard is dear in proportion.
So It behooves the wearer Of wells to
study how they can be kept in good
condition. The fshnet webs do not
need to be hemmed at the ends. as
after the veil Is tied on these are
tucked under the knot. But such wells
should be pulled out when they are
taken of and rolled up from one end
before they are put away. Old cur
tain rollers, sawed up into pieces the
width of the veil, are often used for
keeping the crushable nets tidy. The
first end of the veil is stretched tight
over the stick and the rest rolled snug
