COSTS s1O0 TO KEEP HORSE
Estimate Given by Farm Management
Department of the Nebraska COL
iege Of Agriculture.

The cost Of keeping n horse on the

Is upward of 500, according to the

feed, $3.50 for interest at per cent
on valuation Of $3.50 for the horse,
Sl5 for 10 per cent depreciation on
the horse, $12 for rs hours care at 10
cents an hour, $3.50 for shelter and
enough more for expenses to make

So all the maidens wore the scarlet

The housewife hung branches of the
berries over her doorway, while her

For the same purpose they kept n

Music While You Work.

A dry-cleaning establishment in
Cincinnati has come to the conclusion
that If its employees hear music at
frequent intervals while they work
1t will not only make them happier,
more contented and better workers,
but that they will accomplish more
than if they were without it.
Working upon this theory, there
have been installed throughout the
big establishment enough monographs
to keep lively music playing most OF
the day.
The records are selected with care,
lest funeral selection, dreamy waltz
or seXtet from Lucia" should
creep in. There are many lively
dance records and popular songs. The
workers hum and sing to the lively
music, and the speed of the music
puts the speed into their work.

TO CROCHET OVER HAlRPiM
Method That Had Vogue Years Ago
Results in Some Really Effective
Beading or Insertion.

Maybe If you have been doing
will remember an uld-time vogue for
crochetng over II hairpin to make a
very effective beading or insertion.
This, together with many other old
time knitting and crocheting processes,
is coming back into vogue.
1t can be done on rather large
wire kairpin, or if a larger beading
is desired, wire staple may be used.
It is quick work and requires absolute
ly no thought, being, once the chain is
started, purely mechanical. Use cor
responding crochet thread and needle,
according to the list in some crochet
book or the advice of your saleswoman
at the art needlework shop.
Knot the thread with loop which
you pull over the head of the hairpin,
keeping the knot in back of the pin,
the thread from the ball running up
ward. Now with your crochet needle
grasp the thread from the ball, insert
ing the needle from the front of the
hairpin and under the knot at the back.
Bring the thread upward and make a
chain by grasping the thread from the
back again but on top of the loop.
Now turn your hairpin from right to
left, leaving the needle in the Chain
but carrying the hook up over the
rounded head of the hairpin or staple.
The hook will then be in back of the
pin between the pin and the thread.
Now insert the hook through the
pin to the front and pick up the loop
on the left side of the pin drawing the
thread through from the back and then
again through both stitches, on hook.
You virtually make n single crochet
through this loop. Turn the pin from
right to left, thus bringing the hook
to the near side of the pin again. Pick
up the left loop again with single
crochet. Turn the hairpin and repeat
the process.
When the work accumulates it is
pushed down off the ends of the pin,
until sufficient length has been GRO
cheted.

MARKING SYSTEM FOR SHEEP
Convenient Method Of Apprehending
Ewes Which Have Neglected or
Abandoned Lambs.

The farmer who has had trouble on
account of ewes falling to give proper
attention to lambs. thus losing track
of them altogether, will find that n
system of marks with paint will en-
able the ewes and lambs to be got
together again at any subsequent day
in case the lamb be abandoned. Sim
ply give both eve and lambs Il touch
of paint on the same part of the body,
each eve and her lamb being marked
at different point, says writer in
an exchange. We have marked as
many as n hundred in this way and
have often had occasion to use the
system afterwards in apprehending
careless ewes.
