CLEVER IDEAS FOR Bl0USES
Delicate Net Waist and Corset Cover
Are to Be Fastened to the
Same Belt.

A clever New York designer has
made use of French idea in devfsing
blouses of French net, known as tulle
or blonde and other extremely sheer
fabrics. BY themselves. as every wo-
man knows. net waists are so delicate
that the wearing OF them is a some
what trying and uncertain proceed
ing. 1t is practically impossible to
anchor them securely in any one po-
sition. And there can be no such
quality as eft" because of the neces
sity of having them large in order to
keep them from breaking out.
This New York designer has got
around these objections by putting a
corset cover of lace. embroidery and
ribbons inside the net waist and fas-
tening both corset cover and waist to
the same belt The ribbons can be
run in and taken out at will and the
combination corset cover and blouse
easily Numbered In one piece. These
blouses are distinct novelty and
quite an inexpensive one. Another
model by the same designer is in
white cotton crepe with a regular
Montenegrin jacket. also of the crepe.
but with a Persian border. The color
ing is repeated in the buttons and the
bow at the neck.

REALLY WILL WHlTEN HANDS
osene Removes Coarseness Within
Short Time.

For softening and whitening the
hands vanity has another assistant be-
sides cold cream. It is the simplest
of home remedies, and has the great
merit of being far quicker in it's eff
fects and less bother to use than the
cream. II is just a mixture of yellow
cornmeal and kerosene.
Take a handful of the meal, as one
would take soap, moisten this with the
kerosene as with water, and rub the
hands as though they were being
washed. After this wash them in
warm water. That is the whole pro-
cess. Yet the results, particularly II
one must do homework, by which the
hands are always coarsened, is truly
satisfactory.
No odor of kerosene is left after
rinsing, and, strange as it may seem.
the effect is excellent on the tiny cuts
and bruises which come with house
work. OF course kerosene and yellow
meal have not dainty sound. but the
condition which they produce is dain-
tiness. so that the important point is
reached after all.

CORRECT FOR WRITING TABLE
Stationery is Of the Daintiest Order.
and Most Attractive in Its
Completeness.

Seven by five and one-half inch
sheets are fashionable for correspond
ence stationery which, when doubled
once, fit into envelopes with deeply
pointed flaps and Of extreme size.
These receptacles are additionally
unique because lined with pebble sur
faced tissue paper sprinkled over with
sprays of fine flowers and leaves. Like
the sheets, which at the right upper
corner are engraved with the home ad-
dress, the envelopes are OF sort of
parchment paper in old ivory-a tone
which. at the moment. is ultra-smart
in stationery.
Long oblong sheets of glazed-surfac
paper with half-inch lap-over at ore
end and fitting into extremely narrow
envelopes with straight flaps, are an
other stationery novelty of this season.
These sheets and envelopes come in
French gray, cream and light brown
shades and to match them are two by
six inch correspondence cards-also
with lap-over ends-and exceedingly
narrow envelopes.
A new idea in mourning stationery
is the envelope in pure white save for
a fine line of black defining it's deeply
pointed flap but with black tissue
paper lining. The sheets are merely
edged with black and the address en-
graved in black skeleton lettering.

EXPERIMENTS IN
STEER FEEDING
SiIage Can Be Used as Roughage
Even in Coolest of Winters
Other Tests Made.

Experiments in steer feeding at the
Pennsylvania Experiment station
showed that in cattle feeding the
profit secured from the by-product OF
feed lots may amount to more than
the direct financial gain on the cattle.
The test shows conclusively that
silage can be used as roughage even
in the coolest of winter when fed In
an open shed; that there was a con-
siderable saving of corn by the exclu-
sive use of silage during the first part
of the feeding period and that the
value of feeds utilized in the produc-
ton OF beef during the winter of 1911
IL was much greater than their mar
ket value.
The results Of this and other tests
at the Pennsylvania station indicate
that beef can be finished profitably in
the state, where due attention Is
paid to the growth OF crops equally
adaptable to the soil and to feeding
purposes.

We can get larger returns from our
corn through our cows. steers and
hogs, than in any other way. For
three years the writer has been sell
ing his corn to grade Holstein COWS
for a dollar a bushel cash, besides the
fertility returned to the field, says
writer in the Farm. Stock and Home
The same is true of that which has
been fed to poultry. The remark is
often heard: The dairy COW is too
much work. | don't like to milk. and
can't get hired men that will do it
That is no doubt true where one
tries to do two times as much work
as he ought, and when the dairy is
cared for in haphaZard way
where men are expected to work hard
filthy barn II is not uncommon to
see barns where the COWS and horses
have TO sleep on dirty and hard floors
without any bedding. while tons and
tons of straw are every year being
burnt
Under such conditions is there any
wonder that our hired men do not
want to milk? In communities where
the most of the farmers have good,
clean barns. with cement floors, and
use plenty of bedding. they have little
trouble in getting their men to milk.
But If your conditions outside of
these mentioned are such that you
cant help. and don't like to milk,
there are good opportunities for you
in beef or pork raising.
Fit carload or two of steers every
winter to put onto the market in the
spring. when prices are high. II is no
doubt true that the work with fat
stock is not so particular as that with
the dairy COW. II does not require
such expensive buildings nor so much
help excepting in the winter when 1t
is easy to get. Owing to the high
prices of beef during the past two
years cows and young calves that
should have grown into beef have
been rushed onto the market by the
thousands.
Indications are that there will be a
shortage in beef supply. and prices
will be still higher in few years &c
come than they are at present. Sc
there will be good opportunities for
any one who wants to do something
besides growing grain. There Is good
money in stock when it is cared for in

SCARCITY OF PURE
BRED STATIONS
Some of Specimens of Horses
Used for Public Service Are
Remarkably Poor.

The situation abroad is very much
better than in this country. In fact
practically no scrub, grade or non
registered stations. are used for pub
lie service.
In Investigations of this matter car
ried on by Dr. A. S. Alexander of
Wisconsin II was found that there
were in one state 60 per cent. grade
stations and only 40 per cent. pure
bred.
Some of the specimen horses used
for public service are remarkable ex-
hibitions of wretchedly bred. run down
and diseased animals.
The effect of breeding from such
stock is apparent in the very low
grade Of horses produced. Water can
not rise above its level neither can a
grade stallion raise the blood level of
his progeny above that of his own
veins In quality.
The use of such sires, therefore,
means a retrogression and great
damage to the farmers Of any state.

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with It.
The drug-caffeine--in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.

did not know that coffee was the
cause Of the stomach and heart trou.

the right way. and when good stock
is kept The fact that it pays to keep
a COW that merely pays for her feed
because of the fertility she returns to
the soil is no reason why We should
not keep q good COW.
a good COW will bring us just as
much fertilizer, will cost very little
more to keep. will bring the owner a
much larger net return. The same is
true of good beef, and good hogs. and
good poultry. We cannot afford TO
waste time and money on poor stock,
for the best is none too profitable.
The buyer of pure bred live stock
must get away from the idea that
really good registered animals may
be wisely sold for the market price
of beef. pork or mutton. breeders
complain that a large number of
their inquiries are for $75 bulls or for
$50 COWS. Such are plain scrub stock
prices
Oftentimes the breeder has scrub
pure-bred on hand. and the tempta-
ton to sell is great, SO he puts on a
price a little in excess of the stock
yards valuation. and ends up by ship
ping the animal and mailing the pedi-
gree. The buyer thinks that because
he is getting a pure-bred he is getting
superior animal. when the chances
are that the best of his stuff at home
is better. Naturally, he becomes dis
satisfied in time. and tells his neigh
bors. Thus prejudice grows.
Blood lines mean nothing unless &C
companied by superior individuality,
The breeder has heavy investment.
His advertising charges, his showing,
the extra care and attention he must
give the high-class stock make 1t nee
essary for him to charge prices which
seem unduly high to many of US; but
which are really low when the value
of their good stock as sires is con-
sidered.
They cannot breed high-class pure
bred stock merely for fun. The cas-
trating knife should be used more
than it is: but so long as the farmer
asks for pure-b reds at an advance of
few dollars over the cost of grades,
some breeders will continue to supply
them. to the detriment of themselves.
the buyer, the breed and of the whole
live stock business. A scrub pure-bred
causes more damage than a grade and
SIS mature bulls cannot be anything
more than scrubs.
