Beaver Hat and Freckles.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have a large black beaver hat from
last winter. Same Is all out of shape. Can
you please tell me how to reshape 1t with
out sending 1t to a professional? Will you
please tell me something harmless to use
for freckles? THANK you very much.
GABY.
The only way l can suggest is to sew
fine black hat wire underneath the
brim in the form Of a wire frame. The
hat can then be bent into any shape.
However, I think you will find that the
only satisfactory method will be to
have it blocked by a professional.
Freckle remedy: Lemon juice, .
drains; hot water, IL ounces; borax, 2
drains; red rose petals, 1 ounce; glycer-
inc, 1 ounce. Dissolve the acid and
borax in the water. Infuse the petals
for an hour and strain through a jelly
bag. After tw~enty-four hours decant
the clear portion and add the glycerine.
Apply as often as agreeable.

Powder clogs up the skin pores, causing
colored complications. The only safe and

adding two teaspoonfuls glycerine. This
lotion will take away that shiny, sallow,
greasy look and make your skin smooth,

easily as powder does, and gives that
much-desired, delicate, refined tone to the
skin without an artificial, powdered look.

THREE.PIECE SETS POPULAR.


Hat, bag and scarf must match these
days. That is the latest decree of fash
ion. Probably by the time it becomes
cool enough to carry a muff he set will
have that added. just now the set may
be of fur or it may be of some lighter
material. For the woman who does
not care to wear a scarf until later a
two-piece set'is substituted, of hat and
bag.
Sealskin and dun gold lace form one
of these three-piece sets, which is very
handsome and in good taste. The hat
is small and has a puff crown of the fur,
with a dropping border of the gold.
The pouch of the bag is of seal. with
the gold lace below, and the scarf is
merely a neat little cravat.

To Can Peaches and Pears.
Nv Daar MISS Doon:

My Dear Miss Doom:
I have seen many good recipes In your
column and tried many which 1 always
found good. Can you please give me a
good recipe for canning fresh peaches and
pears? x. I. u.
1 am glad that you find the recipes
satisfactory and take great pleasure
in giving you two highly recommended
methods for canning peaches and
pears. Remember that the fruit should
be fresh, firm, of good quality, and not
over-ripe. If over-ripe some of the
spores may survive the boiling and fer
mentation will take place in a short
time: Allow one-third the fruits
weight in sugar and 2h to 8 cups Of
water to each pound of sugar. Boil
sugar and water ten minutes to make
a thin syrup. Then cook a small
quantity of the fruit at a time in the
syrup. BY so doing the fruit may be
kept in perfect shape. Then fill ster-
ilized jars with the fruit and add
enough syrup to overflow The Jars. Ir
there is not sufficient syrup ada boil
ing water, as the jars must be filled
to OVERLOOKING. Introduce a spoon be<
tween the fruit and jar, that bubbles
nay rise to the top and break. Then
quickly put on rubbers n screw on
sterilized covers. Let stand until cold.
Screw cover again. making sure this
time that the Jars are air-tight While
filling jars place them on a cloth that
has been put in hot water and wiring
out. Peaches-Wipe the peaches and
put them in boiling water. letting them
stand just long enough to loosen the
skins. Remove skins and cook fruit at
once that 1t may not disoolor. Follow
directions given above). Some prefer
to pare peaches, sprinkle them with
sugar and let them stand over night.
In the morning drain, add water tn
then cook. fThe peaches may be Qua
in halves, or smaller pieces, II de4
sired).
Pears-Wipe and pare fruis. Cook
whole with stems left on, or remova
stems, cut in quarters and core. Fol-
low directions given above. A small
piece of ginger root or a few slices OF
lemon rind may be cooked with the
syrup. bartlett pears are the best for
canninE.)

Plum Jelly.

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly publish through your
columns a good recipe for making plum
jelly and oblige z. b. Fl.
For jelly use plums that are not too
ripe. Put them in a granite pan and
set 1t in a pan of water. Let the fruit
boil until all the juice has come out
then strain through a flannel bag. Boil
the juice twenty minutes with an equal
weight of heated sugar, and turn into
glasses. Put in a sunny window and
let stand tw~enty-four hours. Cover
and keep in a cool, dry place.

CONQUEST OF NORTH DAKOTA
Prof. Handiett, In Charge Of Corn
Contest, Expects to Have 10000
Children Interested.
(By w. c. PALMER.)

10y w. u. PALMEH.)
The conquest of North Dakota by
King Corn is going on apace; last
year 5000 school children grew corn,
many of them near the Canadian
boundry. The year before 5000 grew
corn, and this year, Professor Hand
lett Of the Agricultural college, who
Is in charge of this work, expects to
have 10000 in the corn contest.
The banks are now pushing the
corn conquest. The First National
Bank of Fargo started it by offering
one thousand dollars in cash prizes
for corn; one condition is that the
ears entered in the contest come
from five-acre field. Banks all over
the state are also offering prizes for
corn grown in their locality.
Why this effort on the part of the
Agricultural college and the banks to
push the growing of corn over the
state?
Corn is crop that builds up q
community. It produces a valuable
grain and valuable fodder and where
1t is raised live stock is soon in
creased. Then again, it prepares the
soil for grain growing better even
than the summer fallow.
When we want to start alfalfa, corn
ground is the best to sow it on. When
we want to grow good crop of grain,
SOW it on corn ground. When we want
to raise hogs, feed them on the al
falfa aud corn. When we want to
dairy, feed the cows on alfalfa and
ensilage. From this then it looks as
though the growing of corn is the
key to the growing of better crops of
grain as well as to the profitable
keeping of hogs, the mortgage litter,
and cows, the prosperity makers.

GOOD TAME GRASSES
Bronze Probably Is Best Of All
for Pastures.
It's Ability to Withstand Severe Hard
ships During UnfavorabIe Wealth.
or Conditions Makes Il Partic.
uIarIy Valuable.

(By o. A. THOMPSON, Superintendent
Edgeley satisfactory
Bromus inermis, or bronze grass as
1t is more commonly known, is one
of the best, if not the best of the
pasture grasses for this district. Its
ability to. Withstand severe hardships
during unfavorable weather condi-
tons make it particularly valuable
to farmers living in a region of light
rainfall. It has one of the most per-
feet root systems for adapting itself
to almost any condition of soil and
climate, whether this be in the humid
region of the east or upon the semi
arid prairies of the west. Bronze
grass starts much earlier in the
spring than our native prairie grasses
and remains green later in the fall
than the latter. An excellent quail.
ity of hay may be secured from
bronze grass If proper methods are
employed for thoroughly curing it be-
fore the hay is stacked or placed in
the NOW. AS bronze grass propa-
gates itself by seed anG rootstalks,
it may be renewed after becoming
sod bound by simply inverting the
sod by blowing in the early spring
and rolling the la1u in order to close
the interspace between the furrow
slice and the subsoil. The seed
should be sown at the rate of 10 to
rs pounds per acre. The former rate
for hay and the latter for pasture.
If the season is favorable, a good
stand may be obtained when sown
with or without a nurse crop, al
though one is more certain of a catch
where no nurse crop is used. On
the lighter soils represented by this
district. no difficulty has been ex-
perienced in killing bronze grass when
the land is broken and backset in
the same manner as prairie sod is
handled. In the case of bronze grass,
however, the best. time for breaking
the sod is just after the hay crop
has been harvested. Experiments
conducted at the Edgeley sub-sta-
ton for a number of years in killing
out bronze grass, either in wet or dry
seasons, has shown the above treat
ment to be reliable.
Timothy thrives on the lower heav-
Ter soil, but burns on. badly on the
higher land during the hot months
of summer. AS yet, red clover has
not shown itself to be dependable

been obtained which were afterward
either killed out by the severe win
tiers or in the spring when freezing
and thawing of the soil took place.
Mammoth clover, alsyke and GRIM

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

A sflo 1896 feet is ample to sup

The sow should be selected from
a family in which fertility is char.

Glover and skim milk are almost
indispensable in the ration of the
growing pig.
The mares udder should be MIXED

does not take all the milk.
Breeding ewes should not be too
fat; see that they are In a strong,
healthy and vigorous condition.
The young pigs should have the
best of care and should get to eat
ing nicely before they are weaned.
Pick out the breed you like best
and stick to 1t; study up everything
you can about that particular breed.
If dusty hay is fed sprinkle with
water and it will save the horse
much annoyance; but better not feed
it at all.
Convenience in the hog pens and
in fact all around the farm saves time
and makes it possible to accomplish
more in day.
Pigs that have been taught to eat

scarcely ever suffer Injurious effects
