FINGER Stall for Child.

Every mother of a small son knows
how well nigh impossible it is to keeI
a bandage on his finger. Also, how
frequently little boys fingers are in
need of bandaging. Before throwing
away old kid gloves cut off the good
fingers for Finger stalls" for the boy
Cut the under side short, but let the
top run back to the wrist of the
glove; then split this strip to form
straps to fasten around the child's
wrist with a small safety pin. These
stalls will be quite large enough to
cover the bandaged finger of small
child and will save endless time and
worry, says Mothers Magazine. Fol-
larger children use fingers from a
mans glove.

| VIII 1t cost less to run machine
than to feed horses? Will the machine
stand as much work as the horse?
Is there any collateral gain IN
value, as is the case when mares are
used and bred and raise colts? | once
had a neighbor who had an old mare
for his own personal use that he had
gotten fifteen colts from, and
though they were only good farm
stock and not Of very high quality,
they averaged in selling price at four
years, a hundred and fifty dollars
each. 1t is doubtful If a machine
costing many times the value Of the
mare could have been Of as much
real worth TO the owner as the old
mare was, and l doubt very much
whether the auto could have rendered
services so long.
But the question of replacing horse
drawn vehicles and implements by
power implements involves more than
the mere utility of the method. So
long as crops have to be grown to
feed mankind we shall be obliged to
do something to maintain the produc-
tiveness of the soil. Can we do that as
well when there is no live stock on
the farm to produce manure?
Or can we possibly maintain the
soil when year after year crops are
taken off if we do not have live stock
to consume the surplus and make ma
hlyr ri nyic q
any implements that will be adapted
to use for all sorts of farm crops? We
may use level land on power tractor
with a gang of plows, and also do the
narrowing the same way; but can we
cultivate crops of corn, tobacco and
all the other hand crops if we have
no power that can follow the ups and
downs of the fields, and follow the
curves of the burrows that conform to
the lay Of the land on rolling
ground?
suspect that under the most favor
able conditions the tractor used on
the farm can only serve to pillow and
harrow land that lies suitably for the
purpose; but that the planting and
cultivating will have to be done With
horse power as heretofore. So 1t
seems on the face of it that there are
many limitations upon power tract.
ors as farm implements.
In this view of the case it is safe to
conclude that under any circum-
stances there must be good many
horses raised both for farmer use and
the personal use Of people who like
the horse as riding and driving ami
NAL.
OF course, where Sroads are fairly
level, and kept in good condition,
power vehicles surpass the horse In
rapidity, and, perhaps, comfort of To-
comotion; but we who have owned
and lived among horses always and
who like living things better than ma.
chimes will always have personal
preference for the living animal. And
if there continues demand for
horses, of course the raising will con
tinue to be a profitable branch OF
farming.

USE OF MOURNING BORDERS
There Are Few Set Rules, But Indl-
vldual Taste Practically De-
cides the Question.

The average person chooses her
mourning borders by individual taste
rather than by rule and rarely
changes the width until second mourn
ing.
Good taste avoids the Haunting of
grief and rarely countenances Dor
der wider than q quarter of an inch
even for widow Even this is a trille
vide; three-siXteenths of an inch Is
a better width for widows, parents
or children, and an eight of an inch
for sister or brother.
The paper used is dead white linen
of plain weave and lusterless. 1t is
bad form to have a mourning border
on striped or fancy paper, even
though the c@ser is kept white. Where
transparent paper is liked, as for
foreign correspondence or to save
postage, besides the border there is
separate lining Of black tissue pa
per for each envelope.
Addresses and monograms are
often stamped in unrelieved black.
Some persons prefer them embossed
in relief without color, especially If
there be telephone and telegram num-
bers in addition to the address. When
these are all in black they look less
overpowering if a miniature receiver
and telegraph pole and lines are used
instead Of the word telephone or tele
gram.
AS mourning borders are expensive,
the stationery of grief is costly. It
can rarely be had by the pound as
other papers, but sometimes is cheap
er by the box, containing several
quires. AS there is usually a reduc
ton for getting large quantity, 1t
pays to lay in supply.
Correspondence cards carry the
same borders as writing paper. When
there are no engraved acknowledg
ments these cards are quite large
enough for few words of apprecia-
ton. Sometimes a sentence is writ.
ten across the top of the visiting
card.
Black bordered envelopes to fit the
visiting card should be bought by the

duty during the entire period of

The aim is to devise plan for the

products with view to establishing.
standard of excellence IS a main
idea.
During the summer DR.. Charles Nc

ing the state board of public affairs,
went to Europe and made a study of
cooperative marketing, particularly
In Denmark, Sweden, Holland and Ire
land. They report that in Holland,
while the producers are constantly
striving to reduce the cost of produc-
tlon their greatest effort lies in provid.
lnS the market with the finest grade
or goods, a system of inspection re-
sulting in a perfect standard. In Den
mark practically all the butter is made
under the "lur' brand, which is care
fully guarded by the government. A
consumer in England knows that he
can get 1000 firkins OF "lur' brand
butter from Denmark at any time and
that it is absolutely guaranteed to be
what it pretends to be-!
A cooperative plan, such. as, is in
operation In Denmark and Holland
and Ireland, modified to meet con0t-
lions in this country, may be, estab-
lished here at once. The dairy and
food commission has its standards of
purity and butter scoring contests are
held under the supervision of the uni

to establish standard both for

ton of brand for the various pro-
ducts a demand could be created for
them that would result in the elm
