fold blessings which come from
breathing "the empty, vast and wan.
dering air" many provisions for his
comfort have been made. First the
little baby is dressed warmly, and
when about to journey in the open,
his legs and feet are dressed with
long, soft wooden stockings and short
knitted or crocheted shoes. His pin

pinned about them. Over his other
clothing a warm coat is fastened and
his little hands are covered by long,
closely knitted mittens of the softest
yarn.
His hands and feet taken care of, he
is provided with a thick, soft cap of
knitted or crocheted zephyr lined with
silk, which fits very close about the
face, and soft shetland veil may be
wound about his throat.
But the modern baby is supposed to
take his outing even if the weather is

Bulk of Value of Fertilizer Will Be
Maintained If Stored in
Cennent-BOtt0m Pits.

Land plaster or gypsum has un-
doubted value in holding the ammonia
or nitrogen in stable manure, al
though some scientists dispute this
Still kainit is so much better for this
purpose than the gypsum that it is a
wonder any of the latter is used. It
is true kainit is more expensive in
first cost, but then it not only holds
the ammonia better than the gypsum,
but it adds to 1t a desirable plant food
which gypsum does not.
If one must, for any reason, store
the stable manure for some portion
of the winter, the bulk of it's value
will be maintained if stored in pits
with cement bottoms. so that the
liquid portions are retained, and the
mass treated with kainit occasionally
during the winter. The cost is small
compared with the increased value of
the manure. Try it this winter and
you will become convert to the prac-
tice.

IF THERE is anything that minis
l tiers more to comfort than warm,
soft slippers in cold weather, the
name of it will be thankfully &C.
claimed by mankind. Standing under
the edge of the bed, ready to be
slipped on, there should be a COM
Portable pair of slippers for everyone.
And for wear about the house in the
morning there are several kinds of
coy house slippers. There are luxu-
rious ones for the bedroom and warm
"footgloves' of eiderdown for the bed,
if one sleeps in a cold room.
Slippers are made in such endless
variety that even to describe only those
intended for wear in cold weather
would prove tiresome. Two of several
good. reliable kinds are shown here,
and a pair of warm carriage shoes to
be worn over the feet dressed for the
evening function.
The plain slipper of felt, for wear
about the house, has leather sole
lined with felt. It is finished with
stitching and silk pompon on the
toe. A similar slipper is cut high
about the ankle and over the instep,
lined with flannel and bordered with
fur This style has leather sole and
low heel and is made both for men

WEEDS USEFUL IN
MAKING A COMPOST
Pile Them in Garden Between
Layers of SoiI-Add Poultry
Manure and SoapsudS.

The best way to care for the weeds,
crabgrass and purslane is to pile them
in some out of the way spot in the gar
den between layers of soil. The poul-
try manure may be spread over the
weeds. Make a square, compact heap.
Tramp the weeds down. Spread on
the hen droppings and then four-inch
layer of earth. The soapsuds from the
family wash and the dish water are
valuable, as they contain considerable
potash and soda. The weeds should be
composted when green. The wood and
coal ashes and the sweepings from the
walks may be added to the heap. The
refuse from an acre garden, if proper
ly conposted, will make several loads
Of rich compost to spread over the
vegetables and to spread around the
fruit trees and bushes. If the weeds
are allowed to remain in the rows after
being cut up with the hoe, many of
them will root and start to grow after
the first warm rain. Plantains, crab
grass and purslane are hard to kill; I'M
less dug up by the roots and compost
I'D or fed to the pigs, they will ripen
seed. These seeds have an oily skin,
are not injured by wet weather nor by
freezing and thawing during the win
ter. Crabgrass and pigeon weeds are
two pests in the onion and strawberry
beds, and purslane among the celery
plants and in the kale and spinach
beds If the weeds get q fair start
and there comes week or so of hot
moist weather, they will make an as
tonishing growth and soon completely
cover the small plants. BY thorough
culture and careful wedding and the use
of well-rotted manure, the larger por-
ton of these weeds may be held in
check and no ground should be left to
grow up in weeds. AS soon as one
crop is gathered, pillow up the ground
and plant a second crop or sow in mill
let or Amler sugar cane.
