Make Repairs Now.

This is the time of year when the
housewife should take survey of
the many small repairs about the
house which should be attended to
before winter "sets in" 1t might be
well to have repair day when the
handy man takes his time and tools
and finishes these numerous odd jobs.
Perhaps one or two window panes
are out. Il cupboard door sticks. or a
lock is out of order. The back steps
that are worn out (and have been
for some time) and are prOpped up
with rock or nile of bricks might be
repaired to lessen the danger of acci-
dents. Little things "out OF order
are source of unnecessary worry to
the busy housewife and when repair
ed in 'ship-shape" they mean much
In comfort and convenience.-Miriam

Olives Of Veal.

This takes some pains, but 1t Is well
worth while. You will need one or two
outlets which YOU should trim and cut
into pieces about two aud one-ha1f
inches wide by four inches 6ug. Place
on each piece strip of thin bacon and
IL tablespoonful of chopped mushrooms.
Season with pepper and salt and roll

bread crumbs and u beaten egg mnd
dip each olive first in eggs and then In
the crumbs. Now do each Gae up in

when done and remove the skewer.
They are especially tempting when
served with tomato sauce.

takes very little of any one of these
materials, even for the largest size

This cozy is made of four sections
of figured silk sewed together to form
the outside. and four similar sections
of plain silk or other materials sewed
together to form the lining. When the
lining has been made, 1t is covered
with thick layer of cotton batting
tackled down to it in several places and
the cover is slipped on over it. Then
the raw edges of both materials are
turned up and overcast together. A
very full bow of many loops Of bright

No one ever heard of Il Christmas

JUST MATTER OF PERCENTAGE
Legislator Had FIGURED Out Method
by Which He Voted Right in
Majority of Cases.

During the last session of a western
legislature one member, tall angu-
lar man with white mustache of the
walrus pattern and the faculty of be-
ing able to throw both his thumbs out
of joint at will. made himself conspic-
uous by voting "NO" on every bill. res
olution. or other form of businesSthat
came up. However innocent a meas
ure might be, this man voted against 1t
stentoriOuSly.
Finally legislator weaken under
the strain and approached the gentle
man with the walrus whiSker.
"Why is it?" asked the man, that
you vote No on everything?"
"I'll tell YOU" said he of the walrus
mustache with a confidential air. "Sev-
enty-five of these bills and resolutions
are bad and ought never to passed.
And I figger that any man who votes
right 75 per cent of the time Is pretty
tfnrned good legislator"

ATTENTION TO LATE CHICKS
Wet Mash, With Grain Feeding, Morn
ing and Nights, Will Give Most
Excellent Results.

Late chicks should be given special
attention at this time and forced for
rapid growth. Wet mash, such as
equal parts of cornmeal, bran and mid
dlings, mixed to crumbly consistency
with milk and fed twice per day, with
a grain feed morning and night, will
give good results.
Chicks that haven't learned to roost
as yet will soon be shifting and sneez-
ing If allowed to sleep on damp
ground. Provide perches close to the
ground and place near roosting quar-
tiers and with little teaching at first
they will soon learn the trick.

Xmas Candle and Lamps

Candles for the lunch or dinner ta-
BILE, candles for the living room and
candles for the dressing table are
among the gifts that delight everybody.
Among them are classed small electric
lamps (often made to simulate the old
fashioned candle) which are used as q
substitute for candles. Glass candle
sticks prove easiest to keep clean and
shining and are therefore the best
choice for the dining room and the
dressing room. Brass or gilded candle
sticks, or those of mahogany. are liked
for living rooms or the library.
It is the gay little shade that makes
candlelight so fascinating. This year
there are the usual silk shades in rose,
or other colors, with gold lace and the
tiniest silk flowers festooned on them,
and shades of many other things There
are some wonderfully pretty shades
made of paper and they include some
novelties made Of stiff paper as well as
the popular and familiar crepe paper
kinds. .'a& r-atkN.h

SWEET CLOVER IS VALUABLE

"Sweet clover. once regarded as a

asserts ]. G. Hutton, associate agron-
omist ut the state college. He says !:
Sweet clover helps to maintain the
nitrogen supply in the. soil; it makes
good hay, and it produces large
amount of valuable seed, for which
there Is ready market. There is no
danger whatever of its becoming Il
field weed, which has been demon
strated by experiments where it is
followed by cultivated crop.

QUALITY is MOST ESSENTIAL
Greatest Profit Can Be Expected Only
From Live Stock Of the Very
Highest Grade.
(By e. A. TRowBRIDGE)

(By e. A. TROWBRIDGE.)
Quality becomes more essential to
profit in live stock farming each sea-
son. When labor, land, and feed were
cheap it was possible to realize a prof
1t on live stock of an inferior grade,
but with the present high cost of these
production factors and a constant dis
elimination on the market against the
scrub" it has become evident that
the greatest profit can be expected only
from live stock Of good quality. 1t
may be possible for the feeder or deal
er to make profit on inferior live
stock If he is able to buy 1T sufficiently
cheap and sell quickly, but usually
someone has not realized the greatest
possible profit when a "scrub" goes to
murket. If it is not the feeder, it is
the man who produced the animal.

HAVE LIVE STOCK INSURANCE
Movement First Appeared Along the
Atlantic Seaboard and 10 Rap
idly Moving Westward.

By J. o. RANKIN. Missouri College OIL
AKriculture.)
Mutual live stock insurance was the
first form of agricultural cooperation
to develop in this country and in some
others. It appeared along the Atlantic
seaboard but has moved steadily west
ward until it is found in practically
every part Of the country. The mere
fact that 1t is so prevalent Is pretty
good proof that it Is needed, but 1t
is not nearly SO urgently needed in this
country yet as 1t is in Europe, where
1t has reached very much greater
development that has many lessons for
us. Many man in Europe would
be left destitute or at least embar-
rassed for life by the loss of a horse
or COW not covered by insurance. Many
a man who prefers to buy one good
cow would buy two poorer ones for
fear that one good one would die and
he would lose all he had II he could
not protect himself by live stock in
surance. In England he may insure
not only the cow but practically every
thing else on the farm from the labor
er in the field to the bees in the hive.
Conditions in this country are every
year becoming more and more like
those across the water which demand
such a great development of live stock
insurance. Free farm land is no long
er of very good quality, and soon the
government will have none at all.
Competition will be keener and keen
er, and the struggle will no longer be
to amass a farm-made fortune, but
only to make living and keep what
we already have, at least for most
of us. Under such circumstances live
stock insurance, now a desirable thing.
will become absolutely necessary and
each man will have to decide whether
to join mutual company or patronize
commercial company.

Option Taken on Blue Lead Mine.

Chas. N. Hoffman, a mining engineer representing the Lcne Star Mining and Development company, a Texas corporation, this week closed an option for the Blue Lead mine in Wright son district, the property of the Washington Trading company of Patagonia, says the Santa Patagonian. The Blue Lead is located about six miles north west of town, and has produced considerable lead silver ore. For the past several months the property has been idle.
 MT. Hoffman is to start work at once and development is to be continued from the three tunnels claims. At first the force will not be large, but according to the terms of the option, a good sized crew will have to be added as the work progresses.
 With the present prices of metals the Blue Lead should prove a winner to it's new own CTS, as there is no question of the ore bodies. Formerly the property was regular producer when silver and lead were not quoted at anything like present figures. When lead went down to little over 3 cents and silver was in the 4O's the mine was un- able to pay much above the cost of operation, but with lead sell ing at $5. 40 and silver at 55 cents an ounce and Blue Lead will be a valuable addition to Patago- nia'S list of shippers.
