THE CHAFlNG DISH.

SO many girls are giving chatting
dish parties nowadays that you will
find yourself quite out of fashion If
you don't own one. A girl who would
not ordinarily know how to cook
would almst be willing to learn if she
had a chatting dish to practice on.
Many wise mother, realizing this
takes advantage of the propitious oc-
casion of a birthday or anniversary
and presents her daughter with a
small silver dish.
These, by the way, are not in the
least expensive, because the fuel costs
so little. The alcohol dishes are very
nice and safe, especially if you use the
solidified alcohol in place of the Ii
quid The electric dishes are higher
in price, but if your house has electric
connections it will pay you in the long
run. The chatting dishes are made O.
shiny nickel or copper. Nothing il
more attractive to the eye-to the
masculine eye in particular-than ;
pretty girl presiding over the chat
ing dish, chatting and stirring.
Many useful utensils can be had t.
go with the chatting dish. Long-har
died spoones, forks and ladies, mad
of orange wood, and tipped wit
nickel or copper to match the disf
may be bought for very little. A larg

FREE suiLoinc
PLANS ron FARMERS

Whether ii is dwelling. barn or
smoke-lpuse, that Mississippi farmers
want to build, they can now consult
their own architect free. They have
but to tell this architect how many
head of stock they are keeping and
he will furnish, without cost, plans,
blueprints. bills of materials, and d.
rections for building the right kind
and sized barns.
This service is furnished to the far
mers of the state by the Mississippi
A. and NJ. College thragh its agricul-
tural engineering department. The
demand for theses building plans has
increased SO rapidly in the past four
years that this department has found
it wise to publish lists of the different
plans now available. To this end a
bulletin has just been published con-
tanning lists of plans for farm homes,
barns, hog and poultry houses, corn
cribs, dipping watts, silos, implement
sheds, septic tanks and other struc-
lures designed to meet the needs OF
all types of farms. This bulletin will
be sent free on application to the agri.
, cultural engineering department, Agri.
cultural College, Miss.
In issuing the bulletin, Daniels
Scoates, head of this department
states that Mississippi spends annual
ly approximately $S,OOO,0OO on farm
! buildings. He then points out that by
using the free plans the farmers will
save about $4,O0O,OO0. which is the {
per cent commission usually charged
by architects for drawing building
plans.
