BEFORE BUYING YOUR TRUNK
Some Things Which Require Careful
Consideration Before Selecting
Your Travelling Box. <

First, decide what is to be packed in
it, and whether it is to be used for
journeys over land, or for sailing over
the sea. If trunk is used for what it
is intended, clothes alone, and they
are packed with intelligence, they will
arrive at their destination unwrinkled
1t is the simplest necessity to put
rolls Of tissue paper under skirt
which may have to be folded over, to
puff the sleeves of a gown with tissue
and to stuff little paper into the
waists of dresses. An important pre-
caution in the art of packing is to put
the heaviest clothes at the bottom.
Tissue paper should also be folded be-
tween dark and light clothes if fresh
ness is to be expected. Very perish
able evening dresses, especially span
gled or beaded ones, should be packed
in thin bags. The most desirable
trunks are made in wardrobe style, ex-
amples of modern wizardry with their
various compartments constructed to
hold every article of wearing apparel
and keep in perfect condition to the
end of the journey.

ANIMALS s
FEED NEW CORN GRADUALLY
If Given in Moderation at the Start
Hogs VIII by Degrees Get
Accustomed to 1t.
By R. G. wEATHERsToNE1

(By K. 6. WEATHERSTONE.)
Danger turks in feeding an abun-
dance of new corn. Feeders should
introduce new corn gradually by cut
ting it up and feeding it with other
feeds and with the pasture crops
If fed moderately at the start hogs
will consume both ears and stalks
and by degrees get accustomed to the
new feed.
BY the time the stalks are hardened
they will be in condition to consume
larger quantities of the grain with
safety and profit Unless hogs have
plenty of grass and forage crops the
change of feed must be gradual ii
they are to escape arrangement of di-
gestion and disordered stomachs.
1t means little more work to feed
supplemental feeds and old corn with
the new, but the advantages are so
great that the careful and intelligent
feeder will not neglect that which is
safest and promises the best results.
Hogs relish new corn and we are
many times tempted to feed them too
AAoSA az Iho SldII' Al least one
months time should be taken to bring
hogs from pasture to a full feed of
new corn.
1t requires more bushels of new
corn to make the same gain that
sound corn will produce, hence it is
advantageous from both the stand
point of health and profit to feed
some old corn while bringing the
hogs to full feed of the new corn.
Some severe losses can be avoided by
the exercise of care and judgment
in feeding new corn to hogs.

much on the important gowns may be
copied by the home dressmaker If she
will just study the kinds Of beads that
are used on these gowns and buy that
kind. String the beads on a double
thread and sew them onto the gown by
taking stitch between each two
beads with another thread. Do not
try to string and sew the beads with
the same needle and thread, or the
work will look very amateurish.
A very clever French trick is tc form
a design on chiffon and outline it in
embroidery silk in one or two colors;
then, instead Of embroidering the cen
ters, paint it with very thin gold paint
very carefully The effect is charming
and only close inspection will detect
the ruse.

TWO CLEVER FRENCH TRICKS
How Partisan Woman Makes Her
Homemade Gown Look Like
High-Priced Model.

Here are one or two clever little
tricks by means of which a French
woman accomplishes the "chic" of the
famous artist and makes her home
made gown look like the work of the
world-famous house instead of her own
nimble fingers. In looking at q. Pa
Quin, Doucet or Poiret model, a French
woman does not try to copy the en-
tire gown. In fact, she steers clear of
Intricate draperies and folds. She no
tices the sleeve, the cut of the neck,
whether high or low, V-neck or square;
whether the waist blouses at the
girdle or is drawn in snugly; whether
the fullness is gathered in the center
Of the front or back, or whether it is
pushed to the sides, leaving the cen
ter plain. Then she remembers if the
skirt be gathered or gored into the
belt, if it appears narrower at the foot
than the knees, and If this effect be
accomplished by inverted plaits held
In at the foot by buttons or stitches,
or IL it be cut and gored narrower. All
these details are easily observed if
one has them in mind, and they are
the important items that make or mar
the style of gown.

Juvenile Altruism.

Little Paul came in to ask his
mother if Alfred and he might each
have cooky. His mother purposelv
gave him two of different sizes. In
terested as to which Paul would give
his guest, she stepped to the door just
in time to see Paul give the smaller
cake to his playmate.
"Why, Paul. she called, don't you
know that you should have kept that
one yourself?"
Eyes, know" was the nonchalant
reply. But, you see, I was afraid
that if I gave Alfred the biggest one
he might get sick!"

To Darn Table Linen.

Stretch the article smooth and tigh,
in embroidery hoops. Remove the
presser foot from the sewing machine,
loosen the tension, slip the hoops un-
der the needle and, without turning
the hoops, sew back and forth until the
hole is neatly filed. Then turn the
hoops and proceed in the same manner
across the stitching already put in.
The result is gratifying.
