NEW IDEAS IN VANITY BOXES
Article Has Become Practically Indis
pensable, and Many Quaint De-
signs Are Offered.

The vanity box has become so much
a part of a woman's outfit that the
manufacturers are discovering many
odd ways for her to carry it.
To take ones powder puff and lip
rouge from ones handbag has become
commonplace; now a woman a tuck
these in her bracelet. One Of the new
kind has flexible links Of gold wire.

shape of an oval medallion with a
handsome monogram.

as a sautoir. Fascinating vanity pend
ants are shown of all styles and prices.
from tiny ones of French jewelry to
diamond studded boxes no bigger than
a child's locket. Among the most pop
ular of the vanity cases for the neck
are those of colored Russian enamel
on a linked chain to match.
Again, one may carry a vanity box
on the end of the parasol, or as the
head of a big hatpin, disguised as a
charm for her chatelaine, or even set
in one of the big buttons that orna,
ment her corsage draperies. One
girl, who wore a watch on the back
of one riding glove, had set in the
other a small vanity case ready for in
slant USE when she dismounted. An
other girl has a similar case in the
end of her crop. 3.

ity box and those that do not may
be supplied with them by small peck

Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with a little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving away willow switches.
The department OF agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington. Va,
and some parts of it were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
SO smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings 70

nc smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind of talk. He may be safe
only in the assurance OF the govern
ment that only n hundred of the
cuttings will be given to one person.

WATER REQUIRED FOR SHEEP
Animals With BountifuI Supply Pro-
duce More Mutton Than Those
That Are Deprived of 1t.

Experiments carried on with cattle
showed that cattle given plenty of
water with their pasture contained
more moisture and less dry matter
than did the carcasses OF cattle given
pasture but no additional moisture.
1t is a generally accepted principle of
feeding that it costs more and more
to produce meat as the moisture de-
creases and the dry matter increases.
From this we are able to deduce the
fact that it costs less to grow the
steers that had. plenty of water, and
so made .watery ~carcasses, than it did
to grow the steers hat had no water
other than that in their food and re-
produced a dry carcass.
What is true in the case of steers
would hold equally true in the case
of sheep. Sheep given plenty of water
will produce mutton more cheaply
than will those deprived of it. Muscle
expansion will be more active in the
one case than in the other, and that
is another reason why mutton pro
duction would be cheaper.
There is considerable water in any
of the pasture crops that sheep eat,
and they get still more moisture from
the dew that collects on the grass
blades in early morning and late eve
ming; but from these two sources,
while it gets enough water to keep it
alive, a sheep still does not get
enough water to keep it in the very
best growing condition nor to keep
all its bodily processes going on in
the most effective manner possible.
There is not an organ in the body
that can function properly without
water to aid ii. Being one of the
chief constituents of blood, water is
carried to every part of the system,
and not alone helps it in getting it's
nourishment, but also in Kidding it of
its impurities. 1t is obvious that a
large amount of water must be neces-
sary to keep the sheep doing well.
Enough is not gotten with the food,
even in summer, and this amount
should be supplemented by all that
the sheep will drink when given CON
slant access to it.

There are boudoir gowns of allover
embroidery over slips of silk, and
some Of these are trimmed with Irish
lace which is always especially beau
tiful in combination with eyelet en-
b%roidery. Delicate colors are select

fact, bright hues of any sort are ia

baby blue and equally pale lavender

only cheap ready-made underwear

Just now, there is a fad for black vel
vet ribbon in lingerie headings. 1t is
rather amazing to see trousseau gar

bearing black velvet rosettes and

"A BOY INTERPRETER
A Young Massachusetts swede in Can
ada Twenty Years Ago Wants
to Return.

Twenty years ago, a blond-haired
young Swede, a boy of about 10 years
of age, accompanied a party of his
fellow-countrymen on the then long
trip to Western Canada as an inter-
prefer. The party ne accompanied To-
Gated at WetaskiWin, Alberta, now one
of the most thriving and best settled
districts in Western Canada. For
three years he remained in the dis
trict. Homesickness took him back
to his home at Fitchburg, Mass. and
he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one of the first to help
plant the colony of twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior, he says:
when l was up in Canada, Calgary
was a small town and so was Edmon-
ton, but | understand they have grown
wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat
ents and inventions but he wants to
go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find a
greater change than he may expect.
Calgary and Edmonton are large
cities, showing marvellous and wonder
full growth. Where but one line of
railway made a somewhat ~tortuous
and indefinite way across the plains
to its mountain pass, there are three
lines Of railway dividing the trade of
hundreds of thousands of farmers,
carrying freight to the hundreds
of towns and cities crossing and
cr~iss-crossing the prafries in all
directions, reaching out into new
settlements, and preceding districts to
be newly opened for incoming settlers.
He will not be able to secure a home
stead unless at a considerable distance
from the town, the three dollar an
acre land is selling at from SIS to $35
an acre. He will find now what was
but a theory then, that this land that
was then So an acre is worth the $50
or S35 that may be asked for it, and a
good deal more. But ne will find that
he can eel a homestead just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth s35 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail-
way, yet with a certainty of railway
in the neal future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to s18
an acre that will in a year or two be
worth $50 or s35 an acre. Mr.. Nose
son is talking to his countrymen about

~RuckWheat Crops.

No other crop will bring in better
return in the Northern States for the
time it occupies the ground than
buckwheat. 1t is put in after the
other crops have been planted and
are growing. 1t is the best grain to
raise to subdue a patch of trouble
some weeds and to starve out worms
in the soil.
1t comes handy to SOW on vacant
pieces of ground which have been
left because too late to be sown to
some other crop. 1t is a valuable crop
to pillow under to enrich the soil and
give humus.

Do Not Feed Moldx Corn.

Moldy corn will produce blind stag
gers in horses, and it should never be
fed to them. Every year there is con-
siderable trouble with this disease in
the west, and in almost every case
the cause is moldy corn. If this
corn does not produce blind staggers,
it will tend to injure the physical con-
dition of the animal. So don't feed
it, and be careful about p~asturing the
horses in stalk fields where there is
moldy corn.
