SOMETHING OF A NOVELTY
inexpensive Lamp Shades May Be De-
signed From the Ordinary
Japanese Lanterns.

An inexpensive, novel and pretty
way of making lamp shades, especial
ly for the summer cottages, is to uti-
lie Japanese lanterns. The kind used
are the rather large, oval-shaped ones
In either a solid color or half one and
half another. The upper part to the
desired depHt is cut off, guided by the
small bamboo rands which stiffen and
fold it, and is neatly trimmed off. AT
The top, which is finished by black
wooden band, the wire hanger is re-
moved and in place of it one of two
or three supports substituted. One
consists of three wires, equidistant
around the top, and bent so as to
hang over the top of the lamp chin.
ney. Another method is a regular
support fitting the top and attached to
the lamp at the base of the chimney;
or else the lower edge of the shade
may be wired and the usual tripod
support be used.
| made two like this, using the first
mentioned style of hanging just for
fun this summer, and the cheerful
red-fgured Japanese lily shades made
such hit that all my neighbors made
or, had me make, the same things for
them.-Harper's Bazaar.

CHARACTER SHOWN BY DRESS
Value, as Setting for the Personality,
Varies With the Moods of
the Wearer.

No woman can afford to be indiffer
ent in the matter of costume, and all
women are more or less influenced by
what they wear.
One damsel swaggers about in mas
culine effects, heavy boots, stiff collar,
tailored coat, etc., another is sweetly
feminine in fluffy ruffles, picture hat,
chiffons, laces and parasol, and the
indiffereice to appearances is almost
invariably exactly what she looks
straight-laced, prim, severe, cold, in
capable of any flight of fancy, lacking
the power of sympathy, and with nc
intricate uncertainties to soften the
hardness of her character.
Equally true is the fact that gown
which is extremely becoming today is
very mediocre tomorrow. Its value as
a setting for the personality varies
with the moods of the wearer. When
encouragement, depression and gen
eral feeling of dullness envelops one
in a gray cloud the tendency is to don
black, a gray or a dull brown gown.
Such a choice is a great mistake, tend
ing to accentuate the gloom about the
wearer Crush such choice under
foot and choose instead the liveliest
dress in your wardrobe. Something
with red, brilliant green, bright blue
or any vivid tone.

SALT NECESSARY
FOR ALL FOWLS
In Order To Guard Against Amy
ID ficieacy 1t Is Well
to Feed for Lack of
PaIatabiIAt/

Salt in some quantity ID a neces-
sitv to the living animal. Some food
contains all that is probably needed,
but the amount IN others is small.
In order to guaru against any pos
sible deficiency it IS well to feed some
salt especially If it increases the
palatability of the ration.
Moderate quantitier o. salt had
been fed to poultry with apparent ad.
vantage, but he limitations of its
use were not known. A feeding trial
was therefore made with twelve
hens to get some suggestion as to the
approximate limit of its safe feeding
to mature fowls For one lot OF hens
salt was mixed in the food, increasing
in amount by periods OF feeding. I'm
til it was fed a the rate Of .063
ounces per day, per fowl NEARLY one
halt pint per day for 100 hens) nc
bad effects were noticed.
With this amount, however, diar
rhoea attacked few OF the hens, but
the trouble disappeared when the
amount Of salt in the food was re
duced about one-third. When the
hens were allowed free access tC
boxes of course barrel salt, moi
enough was eaten to show any ill eff
feet, either by hens that had been FED
salt freely for two months or by those
that had been without any for the
same time.
Little significance was attached t
the egg yield from the old hens fec
at an unproductive time OF year, bu
twice as many eggs were obtained
from the salt-fed hens as from the
others so there was no indication O
unlavorable effect in this direction
When reporting the experiment i
was suggested that salt at the rate O
one ounce per day for 100 mature(
fowls could be fed without risk IL
later feeding it was found that fiv,
ounces OF salt in every 100 pounds
of food was safe proportion. Tn

IMPORTANCE OF DISINFECTING
AFTER OUTBREAK OF DISEASE
Practice Not Entirely Appreciated StoKman and Farmer
- ThLrs IS AIsO Lack OF Information Concerning
Practical Economical Methods Of
Procedure Cleaning,

accustomed to the work, disinfection
may seem a most complicated proc.
ess. Any approved method, however,
is comparatively simple when carried
out carefully, although like many
another procedure 1t is one in which
attention to details counts for much.
1t is important to bear in mind that
the causatiVe agents of many dis
eases are extremely small and may
remain for an indefinite time in dust,
cracks, and crevices of buildings, so
that efforts aiming at the eradication
Of disease from contaminated prem
ises must be thorough in order to be
effective,
In the work of disinfection nature
has provided man with a most valu-
able ally--sunlight. 1t Is well known
that the direct rays of the sun are
destructive to many forms of bac-
terra, in some cases destroying them
and In others Iessenlng their intiu.
ence. Thus the Importance OF we'll
lighted stables is evident The dark
and sunless building will be favor
able breeding place for bacteria, and
the structure which admits the great
est amount Of sunlight will be the
least favorable for their development.
Again, neat will destroy the bacteria
of disease. BY this is not meant the
ordinary heat of the sun, but heat as
developed IN boiling water or in
flame It is upon this principle that
the surgeon before operating renders
his instruments Tee from the posi-
BILE presence OF bacteria by polling,
and it is heat which renders a Jet OF
live steam destructive to bacteria.
Sunlight however, cannot be consid-
cred more than an accessory in the
destruction of bacteria, while the ap-
plication of heat in the form of steam
or flame is seldom possible. The re-
suit Is that in the practical work OF
disinfection we are dependent upon
certain drugs. which have power to
destroy the organisms OF disease.
Such drugs are known as disin-
lectants, and, fortunately, we have at
hand number that possess the pow
er of destroying bacteria.
Bichlorid of mercury also known as
corrosive sublimate and mercuric
Chord, Chord OF lime, Tornado
hyde. carbollc acid, crude carbolic
acid. cresol, and compound solution OF
cresol, are such drugs. They have
only to be brought in contact with
the bacteria in order to destroy them.
Before either of the above are
used, however, the farmer should
study their peculiar characteristics
and use the one best suited to his
purpose. Violent poison should not
be used unless the user OF the dis
infectant is familiar with it and its
results.
In the practical work of disinfec-
ton there are three essentials:
l. A preparation Of the building
that will facilitate reaching organisms
CT disease,
2. A disinfectant which upon con-
tact can be depended upon to destroy
such organisms.
8. A method of applying the dis
infectant that will assure the most
thorough contact with the bacteria.

INCREASING THE
YIELD OF GRASS
Among Four Chief Essentials are
Smooth Surface, Prepara-
tAon, Good Seed and
Fertility.
(By R. B. RUSHING.)

Farmers who content themselves
with two tons or less cannot under
stand how yields of three or four tons
even more are obtained. There are,
however, four chief essentials a
smooth surface, with even, steady
grade, thorough preparation of the
soil, and abundance of good, healthy
seed and plenty of fertility and to
which might be added the proper
amount of moisture
Where land is stumpy or rocky, it
may be considerable expense to re-
move them, but to obtain the greatest
amount of grass it must be done The
rocks must either be sunk or hauled
away and the surface smoothed 30 as
to give a gentle grade A little de-
preston where the water can stand
may cause a patch of grahss to die
out and a few patches will kill a
hundred pounds of hay.
After this thorough grading the
land is thoroughly fitted This does
not mean just plowed and narrowed
in the ordinary way. I prefer the use
of cut-away disc, which does the
work just the opposite to the turning
pillow
The continued working of the soil
with the cut-away clears the soil OF
foul stuff and gives the new seeding
a chance. The soil should be worked
over with the cut-away and the
smoothing harrow many times, not
all at once, but continued through
July and August. In this way, when
ready to seed the soil is certainly as
fine as an ash heap
The seed then should be put on
carefully and accurately, so as to have
every square inch of surface covered.
thus having two blades of grass where
one formerly was
The question frequently asked is:
Why is this large amount of potash
necessary? No one who has ever
used fertilizers on grass need be told
that nitrogen gives the grass a rich,
green color and makes 1t grow very
rapidly.

WORN AT RECENT WEDDING
Costumes Of Bride and Attendants
That Were the Last Word for
Such Occasions.

At a recent wedding of Importance
some of the costumes were note
worthy
The brides gown was of silver and
white brocaded satin, deliberately en-
broidered and trimmed with alencen
lace. The square court train was
three yards in length.
1t was almost completely covered
with a veil of rare old lace, family
heirloom.
The honor maid wore dainty frock
of palest pink mousseline de sole over
a faint tint of blue liberty silk.
The bodice had d dropped tichu OF
finest Chantilly lace caught Slightly
to the left side with cluster of small
silk roses, in the pastel shades of VIC
let, pink and yellow.
A deep fiounce Of six scalloped pleat-
ings of the mousseline trimmed the
skirt Small clusters of the roses
were placed at intervals around the
flounce.
With this gown was worn a ,fas-
cinating bonnet Of shirred mousseline
de sole of palest blue. A narrow
pleating finished the edge and a
wreath of small silk roses, matching
those used upon the frock, encircled
the crown and adorned the bonnet
strings.
