oumptIon on the Farm.

Don't flare up like badly trimmed

has the better OF the argument.
When a stormy day comes. spend Few
hours looking over the garden seeds for
the coming season See that they are not
being affected by dampness nor by excess
sive heat. The mice may De heiplng
themselves.
one OF the biggest mistakes farmers
make is in scrimping themselves on the
amount OF grass-seed sown 10 the acre.
OF late years seed has been high. and the
tendency has been to sow less than was
needed to bring a good crop Better save
somewhere else.
Before planting any large quantity of
small grain. grass or clover seed, send a
sample to your state experiment station
for examination. The seeds of many
noxious plants are TO be found in impure
and unreliable seeds. 1t is far easier to
do this than to eradicate some pestiferous
weed that obtains firm foothold on your
farm.-[February Farm Journal.

sick for two years with chronic bron-
chitis and consequent rundown con-
dition. received no benefit from doc

my health, and had to give up work.
Vinol was recommended, and from the
second bottle I commenced to i'm

It is the combined action of the
curative elements OF the Gods livers,
aided by the blood-making and
strengthening properties of tonic
iron contained in Vinol which makes
1t 80 successful in curing bronchitis.
Vinol is a constitutional remedy for
chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis and

like cough syrups.

Duty.

The sweetest lives are those to duty wed,
Whose deeds, both great and small,
Are close-knit strands of an unbroken
thread,
Where love ennobles all.
The world may sound no trumpet, ring
no bells;
The Book OF Life the shining record tells
Thy love shall chant its own beatitudes
After it's own life working. A childs kiss
Set on thy singing lips shall make thee
glad;
A poor man served by thee shall make
thee rich;
A sick man helped by thee shall make
thee strong;
Thou shalt be served myself by every
sense
OF service which thou renderest.

Tailored Suits.

The skirts of tailored costumes con.
tinue decidedly narrow, although SUI
ficient fullness is allowed to give am.
pie room for walking. The new jack
cts, with slightly cutaway fronts, ex
tend just to the hips at the sides and
little longer in the back. The ad-
vent OF longer jackets. cut half and
three-quarter length, is rumored from
abroad, but for the remainder of this
year at least hip-length jackets are
considered the correct length.
SILK velvet is used for facing ths
deep collars, wide revers and cuffs. in
many instances forming simulated pet
ticost effects at the lower edge of the

WHITE HAVING GREAT VOGUE
Striking Novelties Shown In This
Most Approved of All colors for
the Winter.
JULIA BoTToMLEY.

Among the most striking novelties
of the season are the gowns and tail
ored costumes of white corduroy,
cloth or serge. While corduroy suits
are made with little trimming other
than buttons and clever manipulations
of the material itself. Little panels In
which the thick ribs-run horizontally
make surprisingly effective decora-
tions. On the cloth costumes corduroy
is often seen In collars, cuffs and but
tons. Among the more unusual white
cloth suits Is one with bands of wide
black silk braid running straight
around the skirt and sleeves and
adorning the large collar and revers.
One of the handsomest of the white
cloth gowns has a plain skirt, with q
row of buttons of the same material
down the left side. Although the lines
Of the skirt are of the straightest and
1t has the appearance in front Of be-
ing almost extremely narrow, there Is
a single big Ileat in the back that
gives It considerable actual width.
The waist OF the gown is OF coarse
handmade lace. with a wide collar
and cuffs of the cloth. There is a
rather wide, shaped, stitched cloth
belt, which is broken in front by the
lace of the waist coming over 1t. A
little satin vest and stock, cascade
and undersleeves of fine creamy lace
complete the dress.
