New NeckWear.

With the laying aside Of furs a new
style of jabot was demanded for wear
with the -single-breasted coats Of this
seasons fashion. For this purpose the
graduated side frill is the favorite. Next
comes the cascade just long enough to
fill the neck opening of the coat. A
dainty touch of embroidery in pastel

neckwear with good effect.

A TERRIBLE DROUGHT.

If reports coming direct from the country west of the Missouri river can be believed there are sections of the territory mentioned which are now experiencing the worst and most dis astrous drought in period of thirty or forty years. It has been aggravated greatly owing to the fact that the drought of the present season follows on the heels of the unusually protract- ed dry spell of last year. In many localities the soil was so dry the past spring that the seed sown' has not yet germinated. In other sections where the seed germinated and grew and gave promise of abundant yield har
 vest hopes have been blasted by week after week of whitening, blistering, burning heat, with no refreshing rain or cool interval to stay the disaster, which in Oklahoma and portions of Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota seems to be about as complete as could be. Thousands of unfortunate home steaders in the drought stricken belt, with reserve depleted as a result of last years drought, will have to have aid where they are, starve or leave their claims and throw themselves on the mercy and support of relatives and friends. Tn many states farther east the drought has been severe, but has been relieved at intervals by rain, put in the territory first mentioned it has been we'll nigh indescribable.

A BLESSING IN ,DisaulsE.


 A calamity is often blessing In dis guise. In no event of large importance has the truth of this fact been more forcefully demonstrated than in the visitation upon certain sections of the south of the cotton boil weevfl. For a time dire disaster seemed about to overwhelm the localities visited by the pest, but the very fact that tillers of the soil were compelled to turn to the raising of other crops-corn, milo maize, field peas and beans, clover and alfalfa-and to dairying and stock rais- ing has, in fact, been of the greatest possible benefit to the pest ridden sec tions. Some important lessons have been gleaned from the experience. among them that there Is more money in diversified farming than in cotton raising, that soil fertility can be main tained and even increased if the le- gumes are used in rotation and if dairying and stock raising is carried on; that more cotton can be produced per acre in rotation with other crops. and that the boil weevil pest is great ly reduced as n direct result of rota- ton. It has further demonstrated pretty clearly to the southern cotton grower that he can just as we'll pro- duce on his own plantation a whole lot of the things he has been shipping in from distance at long prices and heavy transportation charges.

HOW TO USE CoCoANUTs.
There Arc Various Delicious Wave of
 Serving Them.

There Arc Various Delicious Wave of
 Serving Them.
 The sight of the big brown cocoa nuts in the fruit stalls recalls many delightful ways of using them. AL though the desiccated kind ~Sold in packages has It's uses. 1t is olten sold when stale, and one cannot be as sure of it as of the fresh nut.
 When selecting a cocoanut choose one in which the milk" can be heard when 1t is shaken. Punch open the small spots at the end of the nut to let out this liquid and then break 1t open with q hammer. The thin rind after breaking the shell away from the meat can be peeled off neatly with a French cooks knife.
 A cocoanut can be grated in quan- hty at home and dried with sugar. It will keep fresh a long time and will not lose its delicate flavor. Grate' the white meat on a platter and sprinkle with the sugar. Place it in the oven with the door open so that 1t will dry slowly. The heating closet under the oven has been used in this way to ad- vantage. The smallest cutter of the meat grinder may sometimes be used Instead of the grater. and if it can 1t will save much time and patience Some choppers cut the cocoanut into tiny Jumps, which are not attractive About one cupful and a half of grated cocoanut can be obtained from one nut rather under medium size. Fresh cocoanut grated in this way Is also nice if slightly Drowned, but if a gas range Is being used care must be talk en not to place the cocoanut too near the flames. as it catches fire easily. Custards, bonbons and other sweets are improved by sprinkling of this Drowned cocoanut.
 Grated cocoanut may take the place of meringue on a pie. and some pal ates will like 1t better. A few flakes should be folded through the filling, and the covering should be delicately Drowned. Apple tarts treated in this way are very attractive. Fill the baked shells of puff paste with apple sauce. sprinkle iberally with snowy cocoanut and put the tarts into the oven for five or ten minutes or until the filling has thickeRed and the CO., coanut is delicate brown.
 Fresh grated cocoanut may be used to: advantage with strawberries in va rious desserts and other sweets. A cocoanut blancmange. for example. is delicious if each plateful is served with large spoonful of very ripe mellow berries
 No two favorings combine so well as orange and cocoanut. Sliced sweet oranges are often sprinkled with CO., coanut and served as dessert for supper. Sliced bahamas may be served in place of the sliced oranges and GOV cred with a snowy coating of sweet ened whipped cream and sprinkled with a little fresh cocoanut For a tutti frutti put sliced oranges and bananas in layers, sprinkling between with sugar and grated cocoanut and arranging over the top a decoration of maraschino cherries or very ripe strawberries rolled in powdered sugar.

THE OYSTER SHELL BARK LOUISE.

AFlE OIO Ell oFTGLL DAnN ISOoE'
 A reader of these notes brings us a twig from an apple tree quite badly infected with a scale which is gray in color, little wider than the body of a pin and about an eighth of an inch long. These scales are scattered thick on the small limbs and. our friend says, have practically killed several young trees, having been at work fer the past two or three years. This scale Is the protective covering of the oyster shell bark louse, which is safe beneath 1t and is able to suck the juices of the bark unmolested. While 1t is a pest that does not spread in m orchard with great rapidity. 1t is nev- ertheless one that should be combat ted vigorously. The best spray to use is the lime-sulphur, which may be ap- piled in the fall after the leaves have fallen or in the early spring before they start. One can buy good commer- cial lime-sulphur in quantity desired or make it at home. For a small amount bring five gallons of water to boil, preferably in an iron receptacle, and add five pounds of fresh stone lime and about three and ree-fourths pounds of flour of sulphur, the latter being made into a paste by mixing with a small amount of water. This solution should be boiled for about an hour, or until clear liquid results. It should then be diluted to about twelve gallons and applied when warm to trees already infected and others in the same tract. A less effective solu- ton for immediate use while the trees are in leaf is the kerosene emulsion, made by dissolving pound of soap In gallon of hot water and adding thereto while still warm two gallons of kerosene. This should be stirred and 2hurned until a cream emulsion re- suits, which before using should be di- luted in about twelve gallons of water. In spraying the trees especial care should be taken to see that all parts of the tree are covered. so that the de- struction of the pest will be complete,

The director of the dairy department of the Kansas Agricultural college has recently published the following recipe for keeping flies off horses and cattle in hot weather: Dissolve two cakes of laundry soap in warm water and add one and one-haf pounds of rosin and one half pound of fish oil and boil un- til the rosin is thoroughly dissolved, then add enough water to make three gallons. Apply to animals with brush or spray pump at the rate of about half pint of liquid to each animal three times a week until the coat is pretty we'll covered with rosin. The fly pest can be still further reduced in the stables by putting dark coverings over the windows and pieces of slit gunnysacking in the doorways through which the animals must pass in going to their places.

The progressive sheep raisers of Australia have adopted a new method as a preliminary to shearing their sheep. Instead of clipping the wool, dirt, grease and all, as is the quite gen eral practice, those who have. plenty of water for the purpose scrubs wash and clean their sheep just before shearing. As a result they are saved paying freight on dirt and grease and also realize the highest prices for their fine, clean wool.

Notwithstanding the fact that the average value of all tea imported into the United States iH the year 1910 was but 1e cents per pound, this same prod uct was tripled and quadrupled in price by the time it was slowed away in the consumers tea can, costing from 50 to 75 cents. There Is about the same record of extortion on coffee, the average import price of which. includ- ing an ocean freight rate. was 8 cents H pound. for which the consuner was taxed from 25 to 40 cents. It does not take an expert analyst to make clear from the above figures that not only is the producer of these two commodities not getting what he ought for them but that the consumer is required to pay from 40 to 60 per cent more than conditions would seem to indicate that they are fairly worth.
