MAKING SACHETS
FOR THE CLOSET

Strong perfumes are always es-
chewed by the refined woman, but
delicate fragrance is desired of all,
and this is achieved not through bot
led scents, but through delicate sach-
cts, which are now used not only in
frocks and lingerie, but for even the
corsets and the hats.
To make these sachets is by no
means difficult, and the result will
more than justify the time spent in
making such dainty adjur cts.
For sfirtwaists and d. esses which
hang in the closet, take ordinary coat
hangers and make two pointed sach-
should be of cotton batting filled with
sachet, and covered with silk, which
mus. be stitched into squares On the
machine to prevent the sachet from
slipping down into the point, which it
is liable to do if the sachet is only
tufted.
Next, sew Or tie with ribbons the
Gwo sachets together over the hanger,
and slip into the shoulders of your
frock. This will prove far better
sachet than the ordinary wrapped
hanger, which was so popular year
or two ago.
For hats a small round sachet Is
made that fits up into The crown of the
hat, where 1T remains except when
the headgear is in actual use.
For the corset there are long bags
of silk interlined with cotton and
sachet, into which the corsets are
slipped when not in use, while for the
lingerie long sachet pads, the size of
the bureau drawers, are made and
then tied together at one end. The
lingerie is then put in and the other
end tied, keeping all possible dust
away from the dainty garments and
seeming them delicately.
Some Of the women with whom per-
fume is fad have made tiny befrilled
caps of lawn with a sachet in the
crown, which they wear at night to
lend a soft perfume to the hair,

along the streets, the impression Great
ed in his mind is distinctly unfavor-
able to the place and it's people. To
see in the stores or on the streets,
antique forms Of arc lights and yellow,
f1y-specked, dust-covered lncandescent
lights that were well enough some fif-
teen or t~ enty years ago when they
were installed, makes the spectator
fancy that everything else about the
place is greatly ut-of date and unbus-
inesslike
There has been much said about
making Staunton beautiful by day:
let some efforts be made to have il
beautiful by night. Great numbers of
automobile tourists come through
Staunton, usually reaching here in the
afternoon and leaving early in the
morning. Everything should be done
to impress them favorably during the
time they are here and in no way can
this be done more effectually than by
improving our lighting system.
Within the past ten years arc lamps
have been so improved that we can
get ten times the light from the same
cost of current that was formerly pos
sible. From the modern incandescent
lamps three times as much of bril-
liant white light is gotten as the same
cost gave of sickly yellow illumination.
1t is distinct economy to install
modern equipment. To be sure the
old appliances are as good as they ever
were, but So are the old horse cars, and
old wood burning locomotives, yet no
one would argue that the trolley car
and modern coalburner should be dis
continued on that account.
Besides doing away with old-fash
toned street lighting apparatus. the
city should encourage the use of priv
ate electric signs by our merchants.
These signs show enterprise; they draw
attention to business houses and pro-
mote trade, and they add to the at
Effectiveness of our streets. There is
not single reason for disconraging
them, whereas every argument favors
them.
Light is the type and illustration Of
intelli gence, morality and civilization;
and we repeat as we began, by say
ing "Let there be light"

VALUABLE HINTS
IN FLOWING FIELDS

Have the field true on all sides;
that is, it may be longer one way than
the other, but each side should be
straight so if you pillow straight when
you start, you will have the dead fur
rows even and NO wedges at the end,
There will also be no odd shaped
pieces in the center to make lot Of
extra turning.
The crooked way is used by many,
who start furrow any old place on
one end of the field and drive to the
other end without mark to go by. A
little crook with people of this kind
does not seem to be Of much import
ance, but crooked burrows always take
extra time and are nuisance in gen.
eral.
Another thing which saves much
time, particularly in harvest. is a
space which should be left between
the fence and the field unplowed. This
should be about 16 feet wide. and
should be sown to grass. This strip
will save going through the grain
with a binder, and back. and it also
saves the hired man a lot of extra
work in shocking, as he can start as
soon as the reaper does and will not
have to wait until a swath is cut in
which to place the shock.

Runners inches high have been
used with satisfactory results, but
more often runners 10 or IL inches
high are used. The runners may be
placed at the sides or ends. If the
houses are to be used in orchards, 1t
is advisable to place the runners on
the sides, because this allows the
house to be drawn between the rows
of trees with less danger of striking.
The greatest of care should be ex-
ercised in installing the gasoline
heater, as any loose fitting connec-
ton would cause leakage of gases in

GasO1ine-Heated
Breeders

The use of gasoline to develop heat
for breeders has many points to COM
mend it to those who raise poultry
on fairly large scale; the system in
wolves broods of 200 chicks, so that
it is not suitable for those who have
only small matches.
The principal advantages in using
gasoline rather than kerosene are to
secure a higher temperature when
needed without forcing the heater
and to save time and labor by having
one brooder house serve for 200
chicks instead of so as is usually the
case.
The form of house in which the
gasoline heater is used is called the
"a" type of colony house. This house
is constructed feet square, inside
floor measurement, has 12-inch side
walls and is feet inches from top
of floor to top of ridge board. 1t is
made with a bevel at each end to
form runners or shoes upon which to
draw the house about when desired.

FEW GOOD DON'TS
FOR DA|RYMEN

Do not expect clean, pure milk,
cream or butter, If you milk in a
half-washed pail, with dirty hands.
Don't look for your cows to return
you much milk when you throw them
nothing but a few punches of dry
hay or fodder now and then. Mixed
feed pays.
Don't hurry through with the milk
ing in order to get at some other
work about the farm. Nothing so
quickly and surely ruins the dairy as
sighting or neglecting it.
Do not allow strangers nor mex
perienced persons to milk your cows.
A COW soon gets used to regular
mixer, and it is to that one person
she reserves the right to pay her tri-
butte in good, rich milk.
Don't dry the cow up by milking
only once a day. Better to milk
twice a day and shorten up on the
amount each time. 1t will be much
better for the COW. Feed less sue
culent feed
Don't forget to keep tab on the
milk pail 1t is the individual COW
that counts, not the name nor the
breed.

ENGLISH APPOINTMENTS MUST
BE KEPT TO THE DOT

There is plenty of rush and hurry in
business London, just as in America,
but the English ways seem to be much
more systematic and dignifed. The
man of business is always sttired with
care-pink necktie, chamois gloves,
frockcoat, spats-for business proceed
ure in England must be met with due
compliance to England ideas of pro-
priety.
Appointments must be made by
written notes-not typewriter, mind
and when the appointment is made,
1t is to be kept to the dot, kept nine
appointments in one day, and found
every man ready and waiting. When
you think that old London is slow
just wake up. They don't make much
fuss about things, but just plan and do
what they set out to do.-"WhirIwind

With the color scheme craze when
ones shoes, hat, parasol and bag, not
to mention the jewelry, must match
the frock, or be the dominant color in
it, it seems only natural that the
combs with which madam holds in
place her voluminous tresses should
be included in the scheme, also.
For this purpose there are combs
inlaid with gold, silver and platinum,
and artistically set with semiprecious
stones. The gray combs are especial
ly lovely decorated with silver and
turquoises.
The majority of these fancy combs
come with high tops, and the greater
portion of the real tortoise shell needs
no other Ornamentation than the ex-
quisite carving.
The popular butterfly motif is one
of the prettiest designs, although con-
ventional and oriental designs In a
large variety of patterns are worthy
Of more than passing glance.
One Of the new pieces is coronet
of tortoise shell inlaid with gold, and
here and there a gem lending a glow
Of color These are in the shape of
circle and are attached to the hair by
means of three small combs, cunning
ly placed underneath.
A novel comb for the woman with
pure white hair is carved from ivory,
with no ornamentation save the curl
GUS and beautiful designs cut in the
rather high and narrow top, which
was made in the form of an open fan.
For the more conservative taste
there are combs with half-inch tops
outlined with thin band Of plain or
chased gold.

SOME HINTS FOR
H0RT|CU[TUR|STS

In these days of treep1anting 1t
cannot be repeated enough that newly
planted trees need plenty of moisture.
If the air is dry they can only get
water through the roots, hence, they
need it often.
Tobacco has been grown success
fully in Mexico for hundreds of years.
The soil that produces it year after
year there seems never to tire or be-
come exhausted.
Peanuts are good to plant in Or
chards. They must be kept absolute
!y free from weeds, therefore, you will
have clean orchard.
The texture Of the orchard soil, no
matter whether it be clay, sand or
humus, may be greatly changed by
correct cultivation.
Consul General e. L. Harris says
here were 100000 camel loads of figs
raised in Smyrna this last season.
Don't make the mistake many per-
sons have by planting your pear trees
200 close together. Twenty feet is
close enough for pears and peaches
thirty feet for apples.
There is no money in unpruned, I'M
cultivated orchards.
Trees should never be pruned in
frosty weather.

SPRING LAMBS NEED
A WORLD Of CARE

At eight to ten days Of age lambs
viii begin TO eat At that time a
creep should be built which will give
them access to q food boz containing
grain and . trough with hay. Box,
trough and iced should always be kept
sweet and clean.
4 good grain ration for lambs Is
made a. follows, Mix one third part
of oalmsal with one part each Of bran,
oats and tine corn meal Rcd alfalfa
hay or the second cutting Of alfalfa
hay are tho most desirable form OF
roushage. OF Tho two alfalfa is to be
much preferred.
II II q GOOD idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. By 40 doing the
lambs are kept tat aH the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice SHOULD the market take
a sudden rise.
