COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those Of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular

Ultra smart are the coat sets in
heavy crash. While few Of them are
entirely of creamy hue, the most ef-
fective are In old rose, delft blue, pas
tel green or khaki, embroidered with
white or black linen floss. This needle
work, which is in bold design and
done in close, solid stitch, runs from
the inner to the outer edge Of both
collar and cuffs, where the hem
stitched border Is very coarse and ef-
fective. The collars are five pointed
and 80 extremely broad that one Van
Dyke terminates at the center of the
back, two Van Dykes fall over the
top of the arm, and the remaining pair
extend almost half way to the waist
line. The cuffs have three sharp Van
Dykes, q deep one running backward
to the elbow, and two shorter ones
pointing toward the inner side of the
arm. These coat sets are now worn
with plainly tailored serges Of dark
hue, but they will be equally smart
looking with the tailored frocks In
white, gray or tan.

like 1t better than any slops or spe-
Gals feeds you can prepare for them.
1t should be sown by itself, and the
hog raiser who has patch now grow
ing considers himself fortunate.
Last year sowed an old orchard
with rape late in April, and was sur
prised to see 1t renew itself two or
three times during the summer in spite
of the dry season. kept the hogs
out of 1t till it was high enough to
hide rabbit, and they were unable
to keep it down. If the hogs are full
grown, it is good policy to keep them
out OF the rape patch till it is a foot
In height, In case they eat it down
the hogs should be taken out OF the
field till the rape gets another
growth
Cowpeas Sown at. this time in the
year should furnish very good late
pasture for the hogs. Peas are not of
SO very much value to the hog till the
pods are formed, and are beginning
to ripen just little. Then they are
equal to any ration that has ever been
devised. Rape sown at this time In the
year will come on in plenty of time to
make splendid fall pasture for the
hogs. It will serve to get them. in the
best possible condition for the heavy
corn feeding that comes little later
In the year.
1t is not too late yet for the north
ern farmer to plant pumpkins to be
used as hog feed In the fall. This is a
feed that can be raised at very
little cost. and yet will prove very
valuable in the autumn, especially
when pastures are short. | always

METHOD OF SERVING DESSERT
Various Little Arrangements That
Add Greatly In the Enjoyment
Of the Partakers.

Almost everything in the dessert
menu is either arranged on fiat round
platters or else served individually In
tall stemmed glasses. Jellies, II
placed on round platters, can be gar
nished fancifully with whipped cream
that has been run through the pastry
tube to make rosettes. Ice cream can
be moulded and repacked and then
dished up on fiat platters and prettily
garnished with whipped cream and
maraschino cherries or tiny bits Of
angelica. Even with all this garnish.
Ing there is ample room for the hand
some serving spoon and fork to be
placed on the sides of these platters
Maids carry these dishes with IrarkinG
over their right hands, the latter being
placed nat underneath They are
passed to the left Of each person to be
served. There is even a graceful way
for a maid to stand. AS she st6Qps a
little to offer her dish with her right
hand she places her left hand close to
her side and slightly behind her and
turns her face away from the person
whom she is serving.
Some women prefer serving des-
sert course in stemmed glasses. If
SO, the cook dishes up soft custard
with some sort of a whip on top, or
ice cream to be made more delicious
with sauce, and sends these glasses
to the pantry. They are placed by
the second maid on dessert plates on
which there are doilies. She then
goes to the sideboard in the dining
room, where she has previously laid
out her fingerbowls on doilies and
plates, takes one in each hand and
proceeds to lay them down in front of
each member of the family. AS each
one is removing the bowl, dolly and
silver the waitress has returned to
the pantry, taken one plate with
stemmed glass in her right hand and
returned to the hostess, where she
takes up the unused Cor place) plate
with her left hand and puts down her
dessert. She proceeds to serve all the
members at table with this exchange
Of plates.

SATISFACTORY PASTURE FOR

Fly RepeIIer for Cows.

The Kansas Experiment station uses
this preparation to keep flies off cows:
Take bars of common laundry soap
and dissolve in warm water. To this
add liz pounds of resin, crushed fine,
or pulverized, X pint of fish oil and
water enough to make gallons. When
ready to use add " pint Of kerosene
oil. Apply with brush or spray pump
about three times week until the
hair becomes coated with resin when
fewer number of applications will
be sufficient. The use Of this will be
better than fighting the cows while
they fight the flies and 1t has the adj
ditional merit Of being cheap.
