Farmers Week.
Farmers Week at Columbia was
a big thing for the Missouri farmers
and means much good to farming
and in fact to all industries of the
state, 1869 being enrolled for the
lectures and each one will carry
back with him to the farm some
thing which will enable him to
make farming more profitable.
Monroe County had a representa-
ton of 20 and it should have been
several times that number. The
speakers at the meeting were the
best and most practical obtainable.
Farmers Week means much to Mis-
souri, and the attendance will be.
come larger as the farmers find out
the great good that comes to them
from attending. The farming lands
of the United States are all taken
up and are getting higher priced
every year, at the same time a
larger proportion of our citizens are
moving to the cities and thereby
becoming non.producers of food,
they are, however, consumers con-
sequently the food supply must be
greater and in order to have this
condition the farms must produce
more. This can be done by more
scientific farming This being true
every farmer owes it>not only to
himself but to his fellow man to
m axe his farm yield larger crops,

Neck Too Fleshy and Hair Thin

Dear Miss Doom;
VIII you kindly tell me how to de-
crease the size of my neck? 1t is most
too feshy to look well. My hair Is thin,
and | have been massaging 1t every other
day with castor oil. II is coming out
some. Do you think 1t is the dead hair
coming out? Will the castor oil help it,
and do | massage 1t often enough?
IGNORANT.
Systematic exercise is the best
method of reducing superfiuous flesh
on the neck. With the head held erect
turn first to the right and then to the
left and endeavor with stretching to
look over the shoulder at back. 1t
will take some little practise before
this can be acquired, but it will be
found very helpful. Another move
ment good for this purpose is to turn
the head toward the shoulder, first
the right and then the left and en-
deavor to stretch the chin to touch
the shoulder. Even though this is not
possible, the movement to that pur-
pose will prove beneficial. In addition
to this use a good flesh brush in bath
ing the neck. When 1t has been thor
oughly bathed with many applications
of warm water and soap, rinse in cold
water until the flesh tingles then dry
with soft towel. This will tend to
make the flesh firm.
AS for the hair, by daily massage
of the scalp and gentle treatment in
the brushing and combing you should
be able to induce a thicker growth
and prevent constant falling. If you

MIXED PICKLES

This combination of foods pre-
served in brine is a favorite of the
country folks, and is best made when
there is a well-stocked kitchen gar
den accessible. To each gallon of
vinegar allow one-quarter of a pound
of bruised ginger, one-quarter of a
pound of mustard, one and one-haf
ounces of turmeric. n ounce Of
ground black pepper, o~ne-quarter 81
an ounce of cayenne, cauliflowers, cei-
cry, onions, gherkins, French beans,
nasturtiums, capsicums, etc.
Have a large jar with a tight
fitting lid, in which put as much
vinegar as is required, reserving a
little to mix the various powders TO
a smooth paste. Put the mustard,
turmeric, pepper and cayenne into a
bowl and mix with vinegar. STR
we'll until there are no Jumps. Add
all the ingredients to the vinegar
and mix well. Keep this liquor In n
warm place. Thoroughly stir 1T every
morning for a month with a wooden
spoon. Then it will be ready for the
different vegetables to be d to.lt.
AS these come in seaso gather them
on a dry day. After wiping them with
a cloth to free them from moisture,
drop them into the pickle. The cauii,
flower should be divided into small
punches. Put all these into the pickle
raw. At the end of the season, c
as many vegetables as could be pro-
cured have been added, store the
pickle away in jars and tie over with
a bladder. The pickle should be kept
for at least three months in a cool,
dry place before being used.

FOR MORNING COMFORT

The pretty, becoming breakfast
jacket is always satisfactory for
morning wear. 1t means greater free
dom than the shirt-waist of blouse,
and 1t is equally attractive. This one
includes a peplum that is perfectly
smooth over the hips and is finished
with a prettily shaped collar that
leaves the neck just free enough for
comfort and to afford opportunity for
many from the effect so often pro-
duced by the tight collar worn too
continuously. The skirt is a plain
one in four cores, but 1t is closed right
down the front, and consequently It
is very easy to adjust. Worn with
the jacket, 1t is finished with a belt
at the natural waist line, but for
other uses 1t can be cut to the higher
line if liked. This breakfast jacket Is
made of challis with a frill of lace on
the collar and the skirt is of a heavy
linen, but a great many women like
to make skirts and jackets of one ma
%terial, and almost any pretty. simple
material can be used for the purpose.
More and more we realize the advaTi-
tages of washable fabrics for home
wear. and the entire costume could be
made from linen. French gingham
or any similar material to be dainty
and charming. Blue Bingham with
the collar and sleeve-bands ~scalloped
on the edges with white would be
charming.
For the medium size, the jacket will
require 81 yards of material 81, "a
yards S6 or IA yards A inches wide.
with 2 yards of lace edging; the skirt
81 yards 81, 3% yards SO or A If the
material has figure or nap; Az yards
q will be sufficient If there Is no up
and down. The width of the skirt at
the lower edge is "a yards.
The May Manton pattern of the
breakfast jacket 1905 is cut in sizes
from "a to AZ inches bust measure: of
the skirt 7494 in sizes from % to 81
inches waist measure. They will be
mailed to any address by the fashion
department of this paper on receipt
of ten cents for each.

Gum Arabic in Place of Starch

Dear Miss Doom:
| would like you to tell me if in using
gum arabic in place of starch In stiffen-
ing dark wash dresses II YOU dip them in
the gum arabic and let them dry Just
the same as using the starch and then
dampen them, or do you have TO iron
them before drying?
AN OLD FRIEND.
Purchase an n of gum arabiL
and pour over it a cupful Of boiling
water. When dissolved strain through
cheesecloth and pour into a bottle
for keeping until needed. Allow one
~teaspoonful of the gum arabic water
to every pint of clear water. This
takes the place of starch water. Let
the ginghams dry in the usual way
and sprinkle before ironing. Colored
fabrics of any description should not
tan more than two hours after
sprinkling before they are ironed.

enough to bean an egg, then add half
as much more water as you have

water. In a stone jar place a layer

and a layer of dill, using leaves and
stems. Fill the jar up in this way.

Washing Tan Hosiery
Dear Miss Doom.

Please publish in column of the WON
ans Page how to wash tan stockings so
that they will retain their color. Thank
ing you, BLUE EYES.
A good plan is to set the color in
the hose before they are worn. If
this has not been done, then, before
washing soak in cold water to which
has been added some salt in the pro-
portion of n tablespoonful to each
gallon of water. The articles should
then be washed rapidly. so that the
dye cannot be affected by the alkali
in the soapsuds, and care should be
taken that the water is not too hot.
A little salt may also be added to the
rinsing water.
