.Home-Hiade Brooches.

The popularity of the side frill or
lapel that needs a pen to hold 1t in
place has brought about the use of
many ornamental brooches. One of
the newest Of these Is made of gold
braid with colored beads for the CEN
ter. And any girl can make such a
brooch. Disks of gold braid sewed to-
gether and centered with jewels or
beads OF desirable colorings make up
easily. All sorts of shapes are given
them and often pendants are added to
tarnished gold buttons. of passemen-

On the average, the hog house is
the poorest building on the farm and
the least adapted to the purpose for
which 1t was intended. Good barns
may be seen on a large proportion of
the farms, but are generally hard to
find. 1t Is economy to put up first the
buildings that will help most to make
money. A large portion of the farm
ers recognize this and build a good
barn before putting up a good house.
saying "the barn will help build the
house but the house will never help
building the barn" This principle
seems to be lost sight of when II
comes to the hog house. yet no other
building on the farm pays for itself SO
quickly. Unpublished data collected
by the writer show that good hog men
average about seven pigs raised to the
litter and many surpass this record.
The same data indicate that the gem
eral average raised on the farm does
not exceed four pigs to the litter. This
wide difference is very largely due to
the housing.
Many houses which cost enough to
be good are thoroughly unfit for the
purpose because the sun cannot shine
into the pens. Nearly every large hog
house is deficient in either sunshine or
ventilation. or in both.
The illustration shows house built
by one of the most prominent Duroc
breeders after careful study. It is a
most serviceable structure and one of
the best the writer has ever seen. 1t
is one of the few hog houses that
have proved 30 satisfactory that the
owners are willing to duplicate them.
This house has been copied by num-
Der of farmers in the vicinity. some OF
whom. however. have made the mis-
take OF building a longer house and
not making provision for outside pens
for the extra inside pens.
Tho walls are sheathed, papered,
and sided. The roof is shingled. The
outside floors on the east, west, and
south are feet wide. This house is

but velveteen may be considered rath-
er an expensive material for coats
and skirts, as 1t rubs SO easily that
it soon assumes a woe-begone appear
ance-and, surely, nothing looks half
so shabby as worn and tumbled vel
veteen. For the woman who has
many costumes, of course, frock OF
this kind is delightful addition to
her wardrobe, although the fact that
cheap, ready-made coats and skirts
are to be obtained in this material
will rather prevent It becoming adopt

First work on your plain, bright

process.

move every particle of sawdust and
give the articles the degree of pol

brush and the plain chamois for this
purpose. The rouge chamois Is the
highest polisher, but 1t can be used
only before an article has been
washed, because 1t leaves rouge pow

All precious stones, except the
pearl. will be beautiful after such a
cleaning, nor will 1t dim the brill

even of common glass limitations. 1t

Silver jewelry that looks black will
come out of this process with fine
white luster and gold will be returned

field B. Cow-peas in field d would go

acres OF forage for the live stock.

winter grain. such as wheat, rye, .etc..
could be sown early in August at the
time when the corn is laid by, that is,
when cultivation of the corn ceases.

winter pasture for the live stock.
In the cornfield, which Is to be fol-
lowed by clover. the wheat would be
turned under early in the spring in

by cow-peas the wheat could remain
until the second year clover field is

A special study Of the equipment

who have recently come from the
city, Is being made by the Office OF
farm management of the United States
department of agriculture.
This study has given us somewhat
a new point of view. In general these
small farmers are not successful.
This fact has led US to study the ques-
ton more closely. and as a result q
scheme for the management of a 40
acre farm is outlined which seems to
be practicable.
The diagram shows a convenient
scheme for subdiyiding forty acres to
fit It for the cropping-system outlined.

the outside floor and pens.
The gates across the alley all lift
off their hinges SO they can be remov-
ed or replaced in moment. This ar
rangement makes It very convenient
in sorting hogs to change them from
one pen to another or TO make extra
pens when crowded. When swung
across the alley the free ends of the
gates fasten with common house-door
bolts. By putting these on SO the
knobs turn up instead of down, the
owner finds that hogs can not open
them. II the knobs turned down the
hogs could open them readily. The
fronts of the pens next the alley are
all loose panels which lift out. In this
way the whole house can be made into
one large room in a few minutes, moth
ing but the pen partitions being left
In place.
The inside pens are by 8 feet, ex-
cept the middle one on each side,
which is by 8 feet (The pens are
irregular in width because the lumber
cut this way to better advautage.)
The hog doors are 221k by 81 inches in
the clear. The large doors are by Q
feet, divided In the middle. The upper
windows each contain four 10 by IA
inch lights and are set solid and close
together. The lower windows each
contain four 10 by IL inch lights.
The most striking feature of this
house is the ingenious way in which
outside pens have been provided with
out having them on the north side.
The ventilators are by inches
inside. The lower ends are 2 feet
above the floor and the upper ends
just above the comb Of the roof. The
south rafters are extended to meet the
north rafters 30 that no studding are
needed under the south edge Of the
north roof. Whether this gives any
advantage is doubtful. The sunshine
will strike the floor in all pens several
hours a day after March 1.
