W. E. Hosac of the Chicago Dress
makers club was condemning the
slashed skirt on the score of its sug
gestiveness.
Relaxing for a moment from his Sc
rious vein, Mr. Hosac said:

on his seashore vacation as 1t is. Ii
the slashed skirt is to be used against

United states, War wItb France.

There was war between this coun-
try and France soon after the adop-
ton Of the Constitution, caused by
French depredations upon our COM
merce. For three years, from 1898 to
1900, there was practically a state Of
war between the two countries, al
though war was never officially de-
clared by either side. The United
States government sent several war
ships out on the ocean, between which
and the French war vessels there
we're several pitched battles, notably
that between the Constellation and
the Insurgente, in which the Ameri-
can ship won famous victory" The
French 'spoliation" difficulties were
finally settled by the treaty of Decem-
Der. 1901, and the war came to an
end

whv caIIed apIn Money!

Why is it called pin money!" The
answer to that question goes away
back to the fourteenth century. Pins
we're pins in those days. They were
not carelessly lost or cast away as
they are now. The law permitted that
they be sold only on the first two days
of each January, in order that they
might not become too common. 1t
therefore became the custom for
women of all classes to buy their
years supply of pins on those two
days. and the money given to them
by their husbands or fathers for that
purpose was pin money"

ALFALFA FOR POULTRY YARDS
One Of Best Plants to Furnish Green
Food for Chickens-Crowns Arc
Hard to Kill Out.

BY PHILO X. BLINN, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
Alfalfa Is one of the best plants to
furnish green food for chickens, but
ordinarily it soon kills out If over
pastured.
Alfalfa crowns that have been cut
off and plowed under, and that have
taken root again, are much harder to
kill out, as many have found by re-
peatedly grubbing out the same stool
that has taken root the second time.
Such crowns eem to put out shoots
from each piece of root that is left
in the ground, if the soil is in favor
able condition.
Those who desire to establish al
faIfa in their poultry yards can sue
coed in this way by blowing or spad-
ing under alfalfa crowns that have
been near by. Early in the spring
is the best time, while the crowns are
still dormant. The crowns should be
covered four to six inches deep, and
the soil wet down and kept moist,
and the chickens kept off until the
crowns have become established,
which will be much sooner than by
alfalfa seeding, and will stand much
harder pasture.

DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD

2760 Tamm Ave-, st. Louis, Mo-
My little daughters head began with
q dry harsh scale covering it. First 1t
got q white scale over the top and
then it got a dirty brown scab with
puS under it. Her hair came out in
less than a week and her head itched
and bled. She had no rest. | had her
wear a scarf all the time, it looked so
badly. She was so sore and had such
big brown scabs on her head that the
teacher would not let her attend
school.
"We took and had her treated for
three months with no relief. She kept
getting worse until / tried Cuticura

cura Soap every third day and the

Select your seed sweet corn from
the growing plant. noting not only
the size and of the a and
grains, but the number produced on
a stalk. Turn the husks back, using
them to braid the ears together. You
then have a convenient package for

Dig the potatoes, and after they
have dried for a few hours sack hem
and store for a few days in an airy
place, then put them in the cellar.
Sweet potatoes will keep better IL
they are dug before the vines have
been touched with frost. Sweat them
before storing; it improves them.
The celery will need banking. Be

Asparagus tops not already removed
should be cut off and burned.
All melon, squash and pumpkin
vines should be collected and burned
as soon as they have been killed by
the frost.
Keep the garden free from refuse.
AS fast as any crop is harvested, re-
move the tops or stumps and burn
them, to get rid of any insect pests
or plant diseases that they may be
harboring. This applies to potato tops,
corn stubble or cabbage stumps.
Squashes and pumpkins should be

BABCOCK TEST IS FAVORED

Plan for Payment According to
Quantity of Butter Fat.

No creamery can afford to pay on
the space or inch system, since the
Babcock test has provided a simple
and trustworthy plan for payment ac-
cording to the quantity of butter fat
contained in the cream. Some fac
tories, however, still adhere to the old
plan. In adopting the Babcock test,
be sure to obtain piquetttes, etc., that
are reliable. The experiment stations
In most of the dairy states will test
these piquettes free or furnish tested
tubes at cost. Out Of 165 patrons

COWS yield cream that varies as

FEMALE MAKES THE TROUBLE
Certainly In the Case Of the Mosquito
They Are "More Deadly Than
the Male"

The attention of many of our citi-
Tens who hitherto have taken little in
terest in chronological investigation,
has been attracted to what they be-
lieve is a new variety of mosquito, a
mosquito which in the course of evo-
luton has lost it's bark, but not its
bite; that comes upon one unawares,
without a musical accompaniment.
Whatever may be said against the in
sect 1t should be set down to its cred
it that it takes its nourishment without
music, declining 70 give that addition
al smart TO ones misery. This active,
but diminutive specimen of the ge-
nus Culex, now at the close of sum
mer, is beginning a work that will
continue until the first sharp frost.
AS a matter of fact these mosquitoes
that have had no difficulty in pushing
their way through the smallest mesh
ed wire screens are all females, and
for that reason we hear no song. The
males are larger, perhaps cannot make
their way through the screens, and re-
main outside, where they sing solos
or join in numbers and give hallelu-
jah c~horuses, and encourage the suf-
fragette sisters at their work inside.
The sisters have an Unsuitable thirst
for blood, while the mouth of the male
mosquito is not equipped for biting
and he does not come into our houses,
While the sisters are inside drinking
blood the more temperate fathers Of
the family are outside slipping rain
water.

ONIONS FOR VERY EARLY USE

During Autumn Season.

II you are fond Of young onions do
not fail to set out a bed of top
onions" for the very earliest use in
the spring. They do not form bulbs
but are in form like s~cullions.
Yet in the early spring before snow
has entirely disappeared. it is indeed
refreshing to be able to find an onion
bed ready for use. The tops Of the
seed stalk produce small bulbs which
should be set in autumn, and thus the
stock renewed from year to year.
While the plant is perennial, the bulbs
are more tender when grown each
year from bulbs planted in the au'
tumn.
