manner, how to have perfect results,
with the least time, material and la
Dor expended.
The recipes used are by Mrs. Janet

ouaIntness In Black Satin.

The picture illustrates a dancing or
party frock in black satin Oriental,
with an old world echu and cuffs OF
finest white muslin, edged with frill
and scaliops of pin spot muslin.
The sash is OF black ribbon velvet,
relieved with the palest pink rose.
White shoes and stockings are worn,
the shoes being laced with narrow
black satin ribbon. The simplicity of
this gown will appeal to many. who
also appreciate the contrast of beauti'
full somber black and the piquant bril-
liant coloring we expect to find asso'
ciated with extreme youth. Such an
idea must only be thought of where
the individual child possesses enough
of that color and general attractive
ness to make the contrast sufficiently
striking.-Daily Telegraph, London.

TAKE CARE OF THE GLOVES
Length Of Service and General Pre-
s%entabiIity Depend on Way They
Are Handled.

Too much cannot be said about the
necessity for proper care in removing
gloves from the hands, for upon this
more than anything else depends the
length of time a pair Of gloves Will
wear. After christening the glove 1t
should be turned back over the hand
as far as the fingers, and then should
be pushed off without pulling on the
fingers of the glove at all, as when
this is done the threads of the sewing
are broken, and In a short time begin
to rip.
After the glove Is off the hands the
fingers should be gently Strengthened
out, the gloves smoothed into shape,
and put into a box to keep them from
the air as much as possible, as 1t is
the air and the moisture in 1t thai rot
the fine thread with which a glove Ia
sewn.

MUST BE POLITE TO POLICE
Visitor to Montevideo Finds 1t Neees'
sary to Take OF His Hat When
Addressing Patrolman.

The policemen of Montevideo are
mostly of Indian origin. They are al
ways courteous and polite, but they
are great sticklers for etiquette
Through ignorance Of their customs.
a foreigner sometimes finds himseii
in an embarrassing situation.
One day last summer a well-dressed
American stepped up to a policemen
in the Plaza I%ndependcia and said In
very Good Spanish:
"Will you please tell me where the
Gala Rincon Isl"
The policeman looked haughtily at
the stranger and turned away.
The American tried again with still
more courtesy:
Would you be 80 extremely KIM
as to very accommodatingly tell me
where the Gala Rincon Isl"
To his astonshment, the policeman
retorted:
you have no manners. sir"
Needless to say, the American was
quite abashed, but he had to find the
Gala Rincon, SO he put the question
to a Spanish youth who was standing
near. The youth answered very cor
daily and went some little distance
to direct the stranger properly. After
the American had thanked him hi
asked:
"Why did the policeman refuse tt
answer me?"
Because" replied the youth. "wher
you addressed him you neglected t.
take off your hat."--Youth's Compan

CONSTRUCTION OF ICE BOAT
For Use on Lakes and Wide Rivers
Craft Has No EquaI-Three
Boys Can Build One.

The ice boat shown in this sketch
runs directly before the wind, with a
square sail as shown in the picture.
A three-cornered sail may be used,
but it is harder to manage. The
frame work of the craft consists Of
two two.inch planks, which are laid
across each other as in Fig. 2. Fig. 3
shows the under part Of the top plank
at the rear end. Note how the planks
are jointed and bracked with wire.
The steering is done with the rear
single runner The lower part of Fig.
3 shows how 1t is made. A bolt In the
center of "a" fits in a hole in he cen
ter of &c" not so tightly as to inter
fere with the free motion of the steer
ing runner. The bottom of the run
ners should be shod with fiat iron.
Half round or round iron will not do.
The mast is three inches in diameter
by six feet long. The sail Is six feet
by four feet. The mast Is braced by
running two stout wires from the TOP
to the cross plank. The sail is con-
trolled by a wooden handle bar. For
use on lakes and wide rivers this boat
has no equal. writes Moses La Bonn,

FERTILITY MEANS
VALUABLE ASSET
Qualifying Conditions Of the Soil
Are in Great Measure Under
Control of Farmer.

The fertility of the soil is not like a
bank account. which Is tangible, In
sight, can be drawn out at one or
more times or at will of the deposit
ors, says the American Cultivator.
The soil is an investment with many
qualifying conditions. viz: Available
plant food, physical condition and
moisture.
These are in a great measure under
the control of the farmer. lnasmuch
as no plant has the ability to make
something out Of nothing, each crop
grown of necessity must take wall
able plant food out of the soil which
never come back in most cases. In
figuring the cost of production the
value of the plant food taken should
be charged against the crop just al
much as that added in way Of manure
or chemicals.
In our experience in footing tn
cost Of production WI have charged
the loss Of plant food against thu
crop grown in proportion to the yield
In the legumes we have credited thu
crop with the added nitrogen. Ant
that is not all-the improved physica

Fur Chin Straps.

The mode for wearing chin straps
of silk or velvet with the small hats
of the present day has been in vogue
for some time, but among. the latest
arrivals in the millinery world are
wide brimmed velvet hats trimmed
with bands of fur, other narrow bands
of fur being brought down from the
sides to fasten beneath the chin. One
model, for instance, was of brick red
velvet trimmed with skunk. with a
skunk chin strap attached to the brim

The young lambs will begin to come
along pretty fast now and II you
have kept a record Of the service you
should know exactly when each
should drop her lamb. From 14s to
1852 days from the time Of service
the lambs should be dropped. II you
have taken good care of your ewes
by feeding them on a light ration OF
corn, stover, bran, fine clover hay and
a little oil meal toward the finish, you
may reasonably expect a good crop OF
lambs.
The good shepherd will see to 1t
that his lambs are entirely free from
ticks. At least six weeks before
Landing time the ewes should be very
carefully examined and il there Is
any sign of ticks they should at once
be dipped. Place the eve on its back,
part the wool along the belly, and
pour on the dip solution so that 1t
will run down and cover the entire
skin. Do not keep the eve on her
back too long, but place her on her
feet, part the wool along the back
and pour some of the solution on 30
that it will run down and meet that
from the belly. 1t is a bad plan to
allow lambs to come when the mother
is covered with ticks.
There is no such thing as raising
lambs, or rather, of bringing them
into the world in good condition
When the man takes good care OF his
ewes he is likely to have a good croI
Of lambs. When he does not he vii
likely have a poor crop Of lambs.
The breeding ewes should always
be separated from fat sheep ane
wethers, and in no Ease should the
rams be allowed with them previous
to Landing time. Hurdles, four ant
five feet long should always be II
readiness so that the eve n he
lamb can at once be separated from
the rest of the flock. This is espe
cially important with twins, becaus'
if one of the lambs should becom'
separated from the eve she will no
claim 1t again.
Always dITduSe youi pch oo a.
eve will never have to jump over
gate or a high board or run agains
sharp orne She should Away
have plenty of exercise and acces
to water and salt.
In order to give ewes exercise
is a good plan to place feed and sal
some distance from the fold in orde
that they will go to 1t.

FEEDING TEST AT
KANSAS STATION
Found That Colts That Had No
Oats Are in Better Condition
Than Others With Grain.

Strong, healthy draft horses can be
produced without oats. After more
than nine months, in a feeding test at
the Kansas station. colts that have
had no oats are In better condition
than those which ate this feed, and
have made a little better gain. The
saving in cost of feed is 20 per cent.
The colts have been fed the same sort
of roughage-alfalfa, corn fodder and
pasture.
One lot has been fed oats every
day and the other has had a combina-
ton ration, 70 per cent. corn. rs per
cent. bran and five per cent. oil meal.
One pound of this mixture contains
the same digestive elements as one
pound of oats. Also, from the stand
point Of energy value, the two feeds
are equal. pound for pound. The test
| shows a farmer can better afford to
feed the mixed ration, with corn at So

meal at $40 a ton. than oats at 50

HAIR ORNAMENTS
OF RICH DESIGN
IN FAVOR TODAY

~ HERE is no abatement in the lik-
ing for ornaments for the hair.
There is a good deal Of talk about the
return of the high couture, but the last
few years have shown women the beau
ty of %well-chosen, and well.designed
hair ornaments, and no couture a
put them in the background without a
good deal of a struggle.
The famous French dressmakers,
realizing the scope their genius might
have in hair ornaments, have turned
their attention to designing some of
much beauty.
One ornament that makes use of the
butterfly is made of tiny black Jet
disks mounted on black wire. The
butterfly measures about four inches
from tip to tip OF his half-opened
wings. He is perched on a bandeau
made of the little Jet disks strung to-
gether solidly-a bandeau about two
inches wide. The butterfly Is perched
at the base of a full back aigrette
made up of half a dozen tall, slender
spikes.
Another butterfly is made If rides
cent pink sequins. This butterfly is
bigger than the black one described
Each wing measures a couple Of
inches. But it is SO graceful in color
and form that 1t is in no way toe
heavy for the hair 1t adorns. 1t is
fastened to a twisted ribbon bandeau
studded with the pink sequins.
Above the butterfly rise three tiny
pink plumes, deeper at the tips thai
at the base-shading from pale blush
pink to deep rose. Whether plumes
as hat trimming gain great favor O.
not this season-and Paris has beer
trying to r%eintroduce their use on hats
they doubtless will be much uset
for hair ornaments.
The American shops show their hal
ornaments of good design and littl'
cost their appeal to the average won

her sense Of beauty. The most Ell
fective of these ornaments are doubt
