Plaid Bingham Much in Vogue.

Plaid Bingham has been much in
vogue for hats this year, and delight
full models of gray-colored ginghams
are often faced with black or bright
colored straw. Dimity is another fabric
that has come in with bingham, and is
receiving its share of attention. Dot
ted swiss, the fine thickly dotted sort,
which has been revived for many fash
ionable purposes, is used for some Of
these simple and dainty hats, which are
delightful accomplishments of morn

To Wash VeIveteen.

Felveteen can be washed successful
~, some people to the contrary. Make
a lather OF pure white soap. Souse the
velveteen up and down q number of
tunes, then put it through two more
not fathers, and finally rinse thorough
~ IN clear, warm water. Do not wiring
IL OUT, but hang it on the line and let
1t remain until it is half dry. Remove
from the line and iron on the wrong
side. The steam will raise the pile
and make it look like new. A tea
spoonful of salt to a quart of water
should be used in the rinsing.

Women in up-to-date towns pay a
great deal of attention to their ap-
pearance and to their clothes, and so
when they state their ages there is
rarely any raising of eyebrows be-
cause they look younger, not older,
than they say they are.
All of which seems to justify the
attention paid to clothes; for if a
woman looks younger than she is young
at heart, and if she is young at heart

PROPER FEED FOR CHICKENS
Dry Ground Mixture in Hoppers
Should Be Kept Before Them at
All Times-Give Some Milk.

Farmers should keep dry ground
feed, such as mixture of bran, shorts
and corn meal, in hoppers before the
hens at all times. Either sour milk or
buttermilk should be given as a. drink.
Crushed limestone or oyster shell
should be before the hens all the time,
and the hens should go to roost with
full crops.

To Wash Cretonne,

IF cretonne is washed in bran water
it will look like new. Bran water is
made by boiling quart Of bran in
seven quarts of water for an hour.
Then strain it through cheesecloth and
add enough cold water to make it luke
warm. Use soap jelly with the bran
water. To make the soap jelly, place
shaved soap in saucepan and add
boiling water to dissolve it.
When the cretonne has partly dried,
iron it on the wrong. side.

FARMER SHOULD KEEP BEES
Interesting and Profitable Pursuit
Every Farm Should Have Its
Supply of Honey.

A careful study OF the bee and its
life and habits and little effort TO
adjust ones actions to those of the
bees Will soon make beekeeping an in
tereSting and profitable pursuit. Every
farmer should produce his own supply
OF honey by keeping and properly car
Ing for few stands of bees.

through settlement or upheaval of the
subgrade, and the greater should be
the accuracy with which the subgrade
Is constructed, so that no unnecessary
surfacing material may be required to
correct Irregularities in grade and
cross section. No matter what the soil
conditions may be, the Subgrade for
gravel road surface, when completed,
should conform closely in grade and
cross section with the requirements
of the plans and should present an
even, uniform appearance. Also, it
should be as firm and unyielding as
the conditions will permit.
+ Some Of the most important details
requiring careful attention in prepar-
ing the subgrade and which are per-
haps most frequently overlooked, are
G) backfilling culvert trenches so as
to prevent subsequent settlement, (2)
exclusion of vegetable matter from
fills, (3) provision for draining wet
weather springs which occur in the
subgrade, and (4 the matter of thor
oughly loosening and distributing the
materials contained in old road crusts.
After the roadbed has been graded
and drained properly, and the details
mentioned above have received proper
attention, the work of preparing the
subgrade consists simply in forming a
trench, as shown in figure l, to receive
the gravel surface. The trench may be
formed largely with a grading ma
chine, but the final shaping should be
effected by means of picks and shovels
and rolling. 1t is customary to provide
grade stakes at intervals of about 30
feet, to serve as guide for the pick
and shovel work, and where extreme
accuracy is desired cords may be
stretched between the stakes to insure
that the subgrade conforms to the
required grade throughout. The roll
ing is done ordinarily with a power
roller weighing about ten tons.
In order that the subgrade may be
well drained during the process of
spreading and compacting the gravel
it is frequently necessary to provide
shoulder drains at comparatively short
intervals. Such drains are constructed
by opening small bitches through the
shoulders and partially filling them
with gravel.
The Gravel Surface.
The principal precautions to observe
in constructing a gravel road surface,
after the subgrade is prepared, may be
commented upon briefly as follows:
1. The gravel should be delivered
on the work in wagons or cars espe-
cially adapted for spreading each load
uniformly over that part of the sub
grade Tor which 1t Is intended. Where
loads are dumped all In one spot and
spread later with shovels, as is done
frequently, it is very difficult to secure
uniform density of the surface crust
by subsequent narrowing and rolling.
The spots where the loads are dumped
nearly always will be more densely
compacted than the areas between.
and, as result, uneven settlement
will develop soon.
>. The gravel should be spread In
two or more courses, and the thickness
of the different courses should be ap-
proximately the same except that
the first course may be made some
what thicker than the succeeding

combination of georgette and satin
with the new novel striped plush
gives a decidedly pretty effect. The

 FAIR GROUND

Better babies, better horses, better cattle, sheep and swine, better fruits and pumpkins, better dairy products and garden sass, better methods better conservation better everything that IS what a successful state fair means. All the talk in the world amounts to nothing if one can not show results. The Arizona state fair has been showing results for many years and this is the story of Dora ArVi, just one of thousand similar incidents of betterment along all lines, that can be furnished
 Dora is the most fascinating miss of her age on the fair groun?. at this time, albeit she is member of the equine family and less than a year old. There is no single over shadowing thing to say about her but everything is embraced in the simple statement that she is just awful smart and it is all due to good breeding and environment
 Dora's papa was Dominus Arvi who was a whirlwind on the race track and her mamma was Split Second and she lived up to her name. Her grand dam was Dora Woods, which animal kicked speedy dust on every fast track in Texas Dora 'Arvi is still too young to leave the family circle and lives with her sire and dam at the state fair grounds where F. T. Piper of Flagstaff, who owns the string, has his horses in training for some of the November money. Sam Passey is doing the training and perhaps that is where Dora gets some of her smartness.
 This little lilly just naturally has track instinct When she is grazing on one of the lawns. if somebody chances to pass by and yell "Go," why, Dora is gone and that's all they are to it." as a bystander re- marked the other day. When she wants to get into the barn and finds the door locked. she hunts up Passey and rubs her nose over his hrisket until he senses her desire and lets her in. Like all properly valley bred horses, Dora also has e weakness for watermelon. A few days ago when they cut a fine melon at the stables, the assistant secretary of the fair commission was the last man to finish and he sauntered down to the office 200 yards away, holding fine big piece aloft. Dora spied him and followed. Arriving. the fillv n"sed the screen door open and entered. She is not a bit super Stitious and does not believe in signs so the mo admittance" placard over the counter did not embarrass her. She circled the end of it. through the gate and approaching the desk of the office man, told him in sign language that she wanted the rest of that watermelon and-she got it.
 During the big fair November 12-17, the grounds will be covered with -thoroughbreds just as smart aS Dora
