The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which

of production of all cereals for 1910
over 1900, excepting peas and mixed
grains.
OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest

given by peas with $20.51, followed by
beans with $1637, fall wheat with

For white mourning wells all made
of chiffon or Brussels net or other
yelling materials bordered with
Grape These bordered wells are
often draped on the hats in such a
way as to provide their only trim
ming. They are nearly always thrown
back off the face or draped to hang
from the back of the shape which is
almost invariably made entirely of
Grape.
One of the new, elongated shapes,
with medium wide rolling brim, is
shown here covered and trimmed
with white Grape. The veil of chiffon.
bordered with Grape, is arranged to
be worn either over or off the face.
There are almost no trimmings on

cept those that are made of Grape.
Roses and lilies are favorites and are
wonderfully beautiful.
A new shape suggesting poke

black Grape except for the facing,
which is pure white in rich soft
quality of the material This white
facing redeems the hat from somber-
ness and makes it brilliant piece
of millinery. Besides white next
the face is most becoming to every
woman.
The coarse-meshed silk nets, bor-
dered with bands of Grape three
inches wide, are having strong
vogue and are in the majority among
fashionable wells. Nevertheless they
are less becoming than chiffon. But
wells are so seldom Horn over the
face that this iteiS may be ignored.
Nets are very strong and durable.

Red.HeeIed Slippers.

It was only natural that the incom-
ing of effective little frockS should
have brought with them the higS-heel-
cd slippers of the Louis XVI. period,
with their immense buckles in front
and their slashes Of red behind. There
Is a new kind of heel too, which is
used on these black slippers, and it
makes the foot look about three
inches shorter thar it is.
One would say that it was impossi-

witnessed the ability of women to get
along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish
heels that put them on stills. We
have learned during the last three
years that there are few limitations

of fashion: if ever these Louis heels
are adopted by the majority of Amer

Testino Hardness of Steel.

A very simple device has recently
been invented for testing the hard
ness of steel by impact. 1t consists
of a tubular standard fitted with a
hardened steel ball at the lower end,
which is placed upon the steel to be
tested. At the upper end of the stand
ard is a spirit level by which the
standard may be brought to true YER
teal position. Mounted on the standard
is a cylindrical drop weight. This is
raised to the top of the standard and
then dropped, striking weight
receiving block at the bottom of the
standard which communicates the i'm
pact to the steel ball, and makes an
indentation in the steel that is being
tested. BY measuring the diameter
of the indentation with celluloid
scale the hardness of the steel may
be determined.

TURN LAMBS IN CORN FIELD
Well to Watch Larger Animals to Pre-
vent Them NibbIing Grain on
LoW-Haneing Ears.
(By M. COVERDELL.)


While both the older sheep and the
lambs may be turned into the corn
field after the corn reaches a stage
at which the lower blades begin to
wither, it is we'll to keep a close
watch Of the larger animals to see
that they do not get to nibbling the
grain from the low-hanging ears.
This is not apt to occur until all
the lower blades of the corn have been
eaten off and in that case the lambs
may be allowed to run in the field
till they are sold or brought in for
winter shelter.
Where one has lambs to turn into
the corn field they will not only make
use of the blades of corn which are
usually wasted, but they will keep
down the weeds that are invariably
springing up after corn blowing is
over, thus seeding the field to the
pest for the following season.
The manure dropped by the lambs
will also be scattered around over the
fields, thereby fertilizing the land
without the usual time and labor ex-
pended in hauling and spreading the
manure
Another advantage in rasturing the
corn field after cultivation is ended is
that it will be much easier to get
through the corn at gathering time
and the ears will be the more exposed
to view

Farmers. as a rule, no longer suffer

Most Of them have the advantage

these conditions, coupled with ordi-

America is improving, and manifestly
the woman and her family are imme

This gain is not merely one Of ma

is secured when the pail OF isolation
and drudgery is removed. The bright

thing needed to keep the young peo-
pie in the country.
The acquircn cnt of those facilities
for travel and communication which
pertain to our advancing civilization
must naturally be followed by better
school and more general culture.
Who can deny for an instant that
this is the road to greater happiness
and contentment in the country?
In the assured development of this
new scheme Of rural life the farm
woman plays part Of ever-increasing

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and COT
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years l would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
"The best doctors / could get and
all the medicines l could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. l could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump olt of my body.
II came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that | was
about wound up when / saw Postum
advertisement I had always been a
coffee drinke-. end got an idea from
the ad that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
II began to use Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and have never had spell
Of bilious collie since
my appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and l can do more
work than before for 40 years.
II haven't tasted coffee since l be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes 1t
according to directions and 1 relish it
as we'll as ever did coffee, and was
certainly a slave to coffee"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy Of the lit
tie book, "The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in
cup of hot water and, with the audi
ton of cream and sugar, makes a de-
Iicious beverage instantly.

in caponizing is to secure quality and

Age does not impair capon as it does
