Inscriptions in complimentary copies

the graceful purpose to which one
was dedicated by the celebrated Pro
fessor Wilson of Edinburgh.
When the sutton for the hand of
Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the young womans approba-
ton, she of course referred him to
her father. Having stated his case,
the young gentleman was asked to
bid the young lady to come to her
father Her obedience was prompt.
Professor Wilson had before him
for review ponderous volume, on
the fly-leaf of which was duly in
scribed, with the authors compli-
ments."
He tore this fy-leaf out, pinned it
to his daughters dress, solemnly led
her to the anxious lover-and Went

ORNAMENTS FOR HAIR
GREAT VARIETY OF STYLES FROM
WHICH TO SELECT.
Feathers, Flowers and Chains Com
bined Are One of the Features That
Mark the Coiffures of the
Present Season.

The hair ornaments worn with eve
ming toilets this season tend to keep
the hair in place and encourage the
neat and trim air of the small Golf
fure, for most of them are on the filet
or bandeau order
The wide filet is less used than it
was last year, but in it's place has
come the more generally becoming
narrow oandeau. Some of the pref
tiest things of this kind are mere sin
gle lines of large brilliants, encir-
cling the head fatty, and usually dis
appearing under the coils or strands
or curls of the back of the coiffure,
though many of these bandeaux go all
the way round the head
Pearls and other jewels or imitation
jewels are used in the same way as
the brilliants, and often the band
is a trifle wider and includes both
Jet and brilliants or pearls and brill
siants
Sequin and bead bands, usually less
expensive than the jeweled ones, are
liked, too, and any one of these mar
row bands is likely to hold an orna-
ment posed whereby fancy dictates.
Very frequently this season fancy
seems to dictate the bizarre instead
Of the beautiful, and heron aigrets, os-
prey, etc, go shooting off from the
couture at such ridiculous and un-
beautiful angles as one sees in mil
linery trimmings
But, on the other hand there are
many delightful things among the
band and osprey or aigret hair orna-
ments, the delicate spraying feather
being sometimes posed exactly over
the middle of the forehead, sometimes
dropping downward at the side, some
times curling upward at a point we'll
toward the back. A !eweled cabo-
chon usually holds the feather to the
jeweled band.
Tiny mercury wings, jeweled, span
gled, etc, are pretty, too, in connec-
ton with the pearl or brilliant
circlet.
Wide bands of jeweled gold gallon or
embroidered gold net, with or without
narrow binding of velvet, are drawn
closely around the head and finish
with jeweled clasp or ornament, and
velvet bands embroidered in metal or
jewels or beads are much used. too.
In Paris many of these wider swath-
ing bands have cabochons covering
the ears, and weird effects are ex-
plotted, such as the mad tiara" which
is band of velvet with ear cabochons
of the velvet and geld with straight
aigrets standing stiffly erect all around
the band, the shape of the head show
ing through the fine feathers.
This, of course, is fantasy run mad.
as is the Russian tiara with its spiky
front points and its jeweIed chains
hanging from side to side of the tiara
under the chin.

Bran AS a Food.

Bran is one of the best foods the
laying stock can have Being rich in
protein it helps the hens to digest the
other foods. It is also one of the
best preventatives against diarrhea.
Always keep hopper full hanging in
the house or run, so that the birds
can help themselves as required. Bran
is equally good for the young stock,
as it is one Of the best bone-forming
materials obtainable. 1t is wonder
full how quick the chicks take to it.

LOVELY HOG IS ECONOMICAL
Puts to Good Use All 1t Consumes,
Eighty Per Cent. of Carcass
Being Available.

The American hog is the most eco
nomical of animals OF what horse
eats 81 per cent. goes to waste Forty
four per cert. of the food consumed by
cattle Is similarly lost, and 80 per cent
of all that sheep take into their stom-
achs, Only IL per cent. of what a pig
eats is wasted. Fifty-two per cent. of
the food eaten by hog goes to make
growth. A sheep utilizes only 25 per
cent. Of its sustenance for growing,
which means, of course, the produc-
ton of meat. These figures are OBJ
tanned from recent experiments made
by government experts, who find, as a
1egF'plt of their strISy, thai, tise pig has
what t19y call an economic superb
GRITTY" even over poultry That is to
say, it produces more meat in proper
ton to its weight, and the animal
weighs more in proportion to the
amount of food it consumes. Eighty
four per cent. of the carcass of a hog
is utilized as meat; of the beef animal,
rs per cent. is edible, and of the sheep
only 81 per cent. Thus it appears
that greater percentage of the pig Is
available for food than of any other
domesticated creature.

During the winter they travel in
small fiocks, often in company with
tree-sparrows and juncos. But when
spring comes they pair, and then be-

In the late summer and fall they

They benefit agriculture by eating

BEST BREAD FOR SANDWICH
write and Brown, In Ribbon Style,
Make the MorseI More Appetiz-
ing When II Is Served.

DO you know how to make ribbon
sandwiches? Use white and brown
bread, cutting each slice across the
loaf. Spread lightly with a paste
made from canned red peppers and
creamed cheese mixed with a little
mayonnaise
When the sandwiches are done. put
a dozen or more on top of one an
other, the brown slice always down.
Press under heavy weights, then slice
from top to bottom so the white and
brown appear alternately in ribbon ef-
feet. The filling for this sandwich
must be put on very thin. A similar
treatment is white bread and a deep
rye bread, or with delicately tinted
rye bread and nut bread This last
needs no filling, although thin LAYER
of orange marmalade may be spread
ON the pressed slices after they are
cut lengthwise

Every woman who invests in the

in two pairs, for, unless the one pair
is washed every night as regularly as
one winds the watch, clean gloves are
never available just when needed.

until the gloves slip off easily without

COST or BUILDING CREAMERY
One Must First Figure on Expense and
Then on Equipment-Pays

Creamery builders must figure the
cost, first. of the building, second. Of
the equipment A suitable and con-
venient building will contain a main
work room, store room, refrigerator.
engine and boiler room, coal room and
an Office. Such r1edium sized cream
cry would measure 2Sx4S feet. In
some sections labor and material are
much cheaper than in others and the
cost varies accordingly. However, we
can place the limit of cost of such a
construction between one thousand
and fifteen hundred dollars.
Where only gathered cream is re-
ceived the equipment required is less
than where whole milk is received. In
the first instance, of the gathered
cream plant, the following would be
necessary: Is H. p boiler; 10 H. p.
engine; well and pump; weigh can
and scales;. Babcock testing equip
ment complete; combiner churn, capa-
city coo lbs. butter; buttermilk vat;
cream ripener; starter can; wash sink
Besides this there will be shafting,
pulleys, piping. betting, etc. BY MAX
ing two churnings a day in the rush
season, zoo pounds of butter could be
manufactured per day in plant OF
this size. The cost of equipment would
approximately be $1,000.
The total cost of a creamery with
out artificial refrigeration will vary
from $4,000 20 $4,000 IN the long run

When Soils cease to PRODUCE.

The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when
new is net that the elements of plant
food are actually exhausted from the
soil, but the necessary forces for the
liberation are exhausted. One of
these forces is bacteria. 1t is esti-
mated that in the common soil there
are 150,000000 bacteria to the ounce.
These bacteria must have for their
food, humus, then they will liberate
food for the growth Of plants. TO be
good farmer one needs to grow lie
gumes and other cover crop plants
to turn under for humus, and to en-
courage these beneficial bacteria to
perform their functions in the soil

phosphate or floats freely in the hem
house. You can put the manure into
order for drilling by thorough ex-

ing up and running through a coarse
sieve. 1t is deficient in phosphoric
acid, which the soil usually needs,
