MATERIALS FOR THE CORSET
Soft and Supple Goods Are Most in
Favor for This Most important
of Undergarments.

One wonders if the straight, low
WASTED dresses will cause a return TO
the sheathlike, tight-ftting corset of a
few seasons back. The new materials
used for corsets are all soft and sup
pie. Women like them and will con-
tinue to wear them. The prettiest ma
terials for corsets are the batistes and
broche silk canvas, a charming glossy
material. The corset is cut low at the
top, with the bust slightly higher. A
much approved method of lacing is
with an elastic on either side Of the
lower part of the bust. 1t makes the
corset far more comfortable, besides
obliterating the line of demarcation.
The new corset requires a bust sup
port, and is generally made in some
soft, lacy material, fastened at the
back, as a rule.
There are fanciful little brassieres
in net. One model was in pink, and
had a wreath of tiny rocco ribbon
flowers forming a medallion in the cen
ter of the front. The shoulder strap
was made with triple row of satin
ribbon, fastened with similar flowers.

SETS ARE FAVORED

patience rather than great skill is re-
quired to make the parasol. The
frame can be purchased any shape or
size desired, and an old parasol cover
can be used as a guide in shaping the
new. Or the fabric may be taken to
an umbrella dealer, who will fit the
cover at a comparatively small cost.
The hat tells its own story. Crown
and upper brim may be covered with
the polka-dotted fabric, or the crown
alone may be in plain color, and that
may be stitched or corded if desired.
A tremendous vogue for the separate
skirt is predicted for spring, with
sports models leading.
Some talk of the barrel skirt is
heard from Paris, but American fash
ion designers did not think very well
of this rather odd, and, to most fig
ures, unbecoming and ungraceful skirt
when it was introduced a year ago.
1t may be safe to predict that the bar
rel skirt will not be seen in great num-
bers. A generally straight hanging
skirt is preferred, whether the model
be plated, gathered or entirely plain.

DELIVERING WATER IN QUITO
Aquadores Have Their Own Method of
Doing 1t, and It Is Somewhat
Humorous.

About a fountain in one of the prIn-
cipal squares of Quito, the capital of
Ecuador, assemble every morning the
city's aguadores. These water porters
differ from the less energetic ones of
some South American cities in carry
ing their jars upon their backs instead
of on the backs of mules. Their earth
en- Jars are deep, have a single mouth,
and hold about forty pints.
The porter carries it on his shoulder
fastened with leather straps. He never
detaches himself from his jar either to
fill it or to transfer its contents to that
of his customer.
He turns his back to the fountain so
that the jar comes under one of the
Jets of water and listens to the sound
of the water in the jar, and his ear is
so well trained that he always walks
away at the exact moment when it is
filed to the brim.
Arriving at the house of a customer,
he goes to the household Jar, makes a

BEST SOIL FOR HORSERADlSH
Plant Is Propagated by Cuttings
Which Are Made From Trimmings
From Its Roots.

Horseradish does best on deep, cool,
rich soil and for best results late sea-
son growth is necessary.
1t is propagated by root cuttings
which are made from trimmings from
roots prepared for the market. The
best cuttings are about the size of
ones little finger, and from : to Z
inches long. They should be planted
in rows far enough apart to allow
horse tillage, and from u to IS inches
apart in the row.
The horseradish plant is very hardy
and will stand much abuse, but in
planting one must use care in setting
the cutting so that the upper end is
on top, otherwise the horseradishes
will grow irregular in shape. Very
often it is planted with other crops,
such as cabbage, spinach, early beets,
etc.
In preparing for the market all of
the rOotlets are cut off and the roots
tied in punches of u.

MAKING BEST OF MATERIALS
Modistes Have to Get What Effect
They Can With Goods They Have
to Work With.

There had been some attempt at
drapery, but it is doubtful if the
draped -frock will endure through the
season. There is also a half chemise,
half moyen-age frock, vaguely suggest
ing the princesse, which is exceeding
Iy graceful and exceedingly pretty.
And at the moment we are promised
simple one-piece frocks with wraps of
some sort, probably the cape-manteau.
Picture the despair of the hopelessly
tailored woman. However, the
couturiers are amiable people, and
without doubt there will be tailored
suits a-plenty shown in the spring col
Iections.
The lack of coIOrs-of certain dyes
also has an important effect on the
fashion. The couturiers must do what
they can with the material at hand.
If fine wooden stuffs are lacking, they
must use harsh fabrics. If wooden It's
sues are not to be had, they must use
silk and cotton. Lacking bright dyes,
they must use dull-toned stuffS.
1t may be the lack of dyes which
has pushed checked stuffs to the fore,
achieving by contrast the color which
is actually lacking. This is one of
the tricks of the trade" and it has
proved, just now, a most successful
one Checked stuffs will be widely
used this season, not only as trimming
for cloaks and frocks of white or neu-
trail tints, but for hats as well. Many
smart sports hats are covered with
checked stuff of more or less strik-
ing pattern.-FrOm Vogue.

PILLS FOR CHILLY WEATHER
Treat SLUGGISH Fowls With Pellets
Made Of Mixture of Ginger, Pep
per and Mustard.

Sometimes. these cold days, chick
en- will be found which is apparently
a little out of condition, and yet not
sick. On these occasions, sprinkling
the mash with pepper, about as one
would pepper dish for the table,
seems to act as a coed tonic. Red pep
per in moderation is even better than
black. If individual treatment is Civ
en-, pick up the sluggish birds and give
pills made of equal parts of ginger
pepper and mustard, mixed well in lard
and made into dough with -four or
cornmeal. Make into pellets the size
of cherry, and give twice a day.

LITTLE SHEEP POINTS
MANY SETTLERS USE ANIMALS
FOR CLEARING UP LAND.
Flock Can Be Sheltered In Common
Shed, Open TO South--Give Ewes
Careful Attention at Landing
Time-keep Them Dry.
(By FRANK KLEINHERIG, Wisconsin

(By FRANK KLEINHERIG, Wisconsin
Experiment Station.)
Sheep make excellent land cleareIs.
Many settlers use sheep to clear land
and put it in shape for dairying. A
diet of brush alone will not make the
sheep thrive-they need grass or a lit
tie grain besides.
Sheep can be sheltered in a common
shed, open to the South and having a
hay or straw roof. 1t should be free
from drafts. The roof must not leak
and the floor must be dry. If the ewes
lamb early, warmer place is needed
for them during Landing.
1t pays to use a good ram, for he is
half the flock. If ewes from the west
ern ranges are purchased and crossed
with purebred ram of mutton breed,
offspring improve rapidly. This is an
inexpensive but profitable way to start
in sheep.
Start with a small flock, until a
knowledge of sheep is secured. Large
flocks are harder to handle, more sus-
ceptible to disease and are expensive
to experiment with. A small flock,
handled right is profitable and rapidly
develops into larger flock.
Ewes need watching at lambing time,
more than at any other. Feed them

DIFFICULT TO FATTEN CALF
Many Farmers Believe That 1t Is Not
Possible to Get Good Veal by
Pail Feeding.

It is quite a difficult matter TO fat
ten a veal calf in any reasonable time
without new milk. Indeed, many think
the only way is to let the calf suckle
the cow, that you cannot get first-class
veal by pail feeding. But sucking the
cow is so detrimental to the COW that
good dairymen feed the calves and
with very good success. However,
when you come to do away with milk
entirely, or even try to make veal with
skim milk and grain, you are up
against a difficult proposition.
There is prepared calf meal on the
market that is probably the best sub
stitute for milk 1t is good to grow
calves on, but to fatten veal is quite
different. A good food can be OBJ
tanned by mixing many of our differ
ent grains together, as oats, corn, bar
ley, wheat or bran and middlings, and
then cooking to thin Cruel. Calves
will grow on this, but will not fatten
when quite youn-.

SELECTION OF BEST LAYERS
Large, Thrifty, Clean Fowls That Are
Good Egg Producers Are Most
Desired by Farmer.

w. Theodore Whitman, poultry eX-
pert of Pennsylvania department of
agriculture, gives the following advice
Good layers have long bodies, back
sloping to the tail medium-length legs
set well apart; full prominent egg bas-
ket; pelvic bones thin and pliable;
comb large always red, and the num-
Der of serrations makes no difference.

FIND VALUE OF DAYS LABOR
Four Hours and "a Minutes Required
to Produce BusheI of Corn in
1955-Less Time Now.

The United States department of
agriculture in 1855 made an investiga-
ton as to the time required to produce
a bushel of corn. They found that it
required hours and "a minutes of
human labor. From 1909 to 1912
similar investigation was made. T. P.
Cooper, director of the North Dakota
experiment station, in summing up the
results, finds that As minutes is the
time required to produce a bushel of
corn now, or only one-sixth as long as
in 1855. In other words, day of hui
man labor now is worth more than six
times as much as In 1855, due to the
use of more and better machinery, bet
ter varieties of corn and better soil
management.

the right ration, keep them dry and
warm. Castrate and dock the lambs
while they are very young.
Early lambs are more profitable than
late lambs. The best prices are for a
lamb weighing 60 or 20 pounds in May
or June The lambs need more feed
than their mothers milk if the best
gains are to be made.
Dip the flock about a week after
shearing them. A warm day should be
selected and the dipping done early
In the morning. Then the sheep are
dry by night Shear the sheep as soon
as the weather is warm enough so
that they will not take cold If fleece

which are in good plumage and which
have pale shanks, pale beaks and
lobes, and red combs.
The present show type of Single
Comb White Leghorns, with low tails,
small and evenly-serrated comb, etc,
is about as valuable, in a utility sense,
as a poodle dog. Pay no attention TO
these points" unless you wish to fol-

Iy important. Large, thrifty, clean
birds that are good layers are to be
desired by the poultry man.

ADMINISTRATION DAY
. IN The LEGISLATURE
NUMBER OF MEASURES ARE
PASSED IN CARRYING OUT AD-
MINlsTRATIoN PROGRAM.
Senate Defeats Measure Repeating
the Poll Tax Law.-Two More
New Counties Created in
Idaho.

Boise, Idaho.-February 90 was ad-
ministration day in the legislature.
Among the administration measures
that were passed were the following:
Torren's land title act; measure Civ
ing governor power to remove for
cause subordinate employees of his
own appointees; revised fish and
game bill as recommended by the
fish and game department; authoriz-
ing state examiner to install uniform
system of accounting. Senate de-
feated the Lewis Daughters Kiner
measure repeating the poll tax law,
which has passed the house.
The senate made the Bates work
mems compensation bill, which pass
ed the house, and the Rockwell work
mems compensation bill introduced in
the senate, special orders for consid-
Grafton. Statewide interest centers
in these bills, two of the most import
ant pending in the legislature. The
Bates bill is recognized as the labor
measure and provides for compulsory
compensation. The Rockwell bill pro-
yides for elective compensation, while
opposed by the laboring men, is IA
vored by the employers over the
Bates act.
After lively debate the senate
frowned down and defeated the house
bill by Moody, seeking to repeal. the
statute clothing the commissioner of
immigration, labor and statistics with
power. This is a constitutional Of
flee and the senate did not think it
was wise to remove all of the laws
concerning it, regardless of the fact
there is not at the present time
commissioner of immigration.
That the senate does not approve
of the anti-Asiatic marriage bill that
was introduced several days ago, is
apparent from the fact that the iu-
dietary committee recommended 1t
be not printed. Senator Atherton, IFS
author, only saved the bill for the
printer after making a strong plea %
give it a chance for consideration
The committees report is looked upon
in legislative circles as a forecast
of it's early defeat.
North and south Idaho divided hon
ors in the legislature on February %,
for each received a new county from
the house of representatives. An en-
abling act was passed to create the
county of Selway out of part of Lewis
and Idaho counties in the panhandle,
and a straight county division meas
ure known as Bear River was passed
to create another new county out of
Bannock in Me southeast The sen
ate has yet to pass its approval on
the measures. If they are passed siZ
new counties will have been created
while three other division measures
are pending. Governor Alexander
signed the Camas and Butte county
division bills.
