L ITTLE finishing touches make the
finished toilet and mark the care
that is beautiful. That bows of
narrow velvet ribbon, or of folded
satin, finish the center of larger bows
of lace at the throat. Flower forms
in shower effects, like that shown in
the picture, made of baby velvet rib¬
bon and satin ribbon, and neck bands
of black velvet studded with tiny
roses and forget-me-nots of narrow
ribbon have proved fascinating addi¬
tions to the chiffon blouses, now the
vogue.
Very small flowers made of silk or
ribbon or metal tissues, or of afl of
them combined were never so fully
appreciated as they are right now.
They adorn neckwear and bodices and
millinery. Occasionally they appear
on skirts. Nothing outvies them but
the new beaded decorations. Small
beads such as the Indians use are a
feature of the season, Fabrics are
cleverly woven to look as if beaded
and one must examine at close range
to be able to tell. The effects are
very unusual.
It is not likely that the corsage
bouquet will be any less a favorite
for spring than it is now. The most
life-like artificial flowers, scented like
those they represent in nature, bright¬
en up the plainest tailor-made, or add

a final charm to thq fanciest spring
gowns.
The midsummer fashions are des¬
tined to be most mldsuramery. Slow¬
ly we approach that which Is at once
beautiful and comfortable. And now
that Paris is turning out boldly a
corsetless gown, and a bifurcated
skirt which are taken seriously
enough to be insistently reported, it
looks as if a new order of things were
coming.
We shall be forced to give much
attention to the figure—the body
which is more than raiment.
BLOUSES FOR THE SPRING
Waists of Foulard Silk Among the
New Things Suggested for
the Season.
Among the novelties and new things
suggested for spring are waists of
foulard silk. They are made up usual¬
ly of soft spring colorings in the new
and fashionable printed designs, and
frequently have tiny yokes of white
or delicately tinted laces or nets with
wee undersleeves of the same filmy
fabri
Lingerie blouses will, of course,
have their devoted admirers and fill
a considerable portion of our shirt¬
waist boxes. Marquisettes and voiles
are often used In their making, as, of
course, are the more familiar batistes
and lawns.
Tailored blouses often open down
the side, and hand embroidered makes
them a little less severe in style. Cro¬
cheted buttons make delightful fasten¬
ings.
With us still is the wash-silk blouse
In the well-remembered striped ef¬
fects. These may be many colors, and
the blouses are usually rather tailored
in style.
For better wear there are still the
veiled chiffon and soft-silk blouses,
and our old friend, the Persian note,
crops out here and there.
Novel Collar.
The string ties which women are
wearing with their tailored shirt waists
come in the loveliest of colors. The
materials used are innumerable, but
all, of course, have the silky finish.
A novel collar shows to good advan¬
tage a string tie of ciel blue corded
silk. The high, straight, turn-down col¬
lar fastens in front. Wide, vertical eye¬
let slits appear around the collar at
intervals of about two inches, and
through these is run the tie, which is
knotted in front in four-in-hand fash¬
ion.
Blue to Violet.
To change the color of blue prints
to violet place them in a solution of
household ammonia, one ounce to a
pint of water. Do not wash the prints
after soaking them in the ammonia
solut'on. A stronger or weaker bath
may be used as the prints seem to
require. One can also get a better
print from a thin negative by print¬
ing through a sheet of ground paper.

Look out for mites.
Select seed corn early.
The cow never tires of silage.
Don't put a sick fowl in a coop with
healthy ones.
Scraps from the table will help to
reduce the feed bills.
Old corn Is the best feed until the
hew gets well cured out.
Every corn grower should test ev¬
ery ear of seed corn this year.
In buying a cow the first thing to
do is to look well into the breed.
Green-cut bone must not be con-
founded with ground bone or bone
meal.
- A great deal of interest is being
manifested these days in the small
farm.
Horses, hogs, pigs and calves eat
silage and thrive on it as well as does
the dairy cow.
The milk from a cow in a poor run¬
down condition is certain to be cor-
respondingly poor.
Every orchard ought to be planted
in checks to admit of clean cultivation
with the smallest amount of hoeing.
On the average farm, fifty hens
bring as big returns as the best cow
In the herd with less feed and care.
Many times, one hill will produce
six eight-ounce potatoes; which is
at the rate of 520 bushels per acre.
Chicken-eating sows are said to be
cured by a tablespoonful of baking
soda in slop three times a day for a
week.
The cream separator, the silo and
the manure spreader should find a
place In the equipment of every dairy
farm.
The feeding of clover hay to poultry
ils a very simple matter and can be
successfully done by any farmer or
poultryman.
Scales are a good thing for a man
to have. They enable him to know
just what he has to sell and also
what he buys.
Ewes that, go into their winter quar¬
ters in an unthrifty and low flesh con¬
dition cannot bring good vigorous
lambs in the spring.
There is often a tendency on the
part of beginners to increase their
herds too rapidly. Better go slowly
and breed only the best.
A variety of crops certainly adds to
the pleasure of living, if he can have
on his table the early strawberries
and the late blackberries.
Go carefully over your farming
scheme as you worked it last season,
try to discover the weak spots and
set to work to remedy them.
If you have plenty of pasture and
milk, that veal calf v/ill make nice
baby beef this fall late, either for mar¬
ket or for the home meat supply.
It is estimated that 90 per cent of
the poultry product of the country
come from the farm, and that the
value of these is close to $300,000,000
yearly.
A few drops of tincture of iron in
the drinking water makes an excel¬
lent spring tonic for the poultry. It
tones up the system and makes rich,
red blood.
While there is more or les preju¬
dice against the use of rye as food
tor farm animals, it forms a valuable
Addition to oats and barley for live
stock in Germany.
The matter of keeping records is im¬
portant. The farmer should be able
to take account of stock at the be¬
ginning of every year, the same as
any merchant does.
If we neglect the hen houses this
spring till they are alive with lice and
mites, we deserve the consequences.
It will take but a few minutes to clean
it out thoroughly and not much long¬
er to soak roosts, boxes and every¬
thing else with kerosene. A coat of
whitewash can be put on almost as
quickly, and good dry clean earth
shoveled in when the filthy floor has
been cleaned out. Follow this kero¬
sene business up every ten days or
so for a time and it will be a pretty
tough louse or mite that stays around
a place.
Spray for soft scale.
Buy only the best seeds.
Plant some strawberries this spring.
If a hen is very sick, it scarcely pays
to doctor her.
Strawberries work in well with
vegetable growing.
The first week is the critical time
in the life of the little pig.
Don’t try to feed ten hogs in a
trough big enough for only six.
Under domestication the hog has be¬
come an animal of wide distribution.
Now Is the time to produce lots of
milk. Plenty of time and prices are
high.
A weak point in dairying is the lack
of cleanliness at all times and in all
things.
Treating small grains with formalin
is too important to be overlooked by
farmers.
To give profitable returns dairy
,
cows must be well bred, well fed and
well managed.
The most profitable nut trees for the
middle states are the chestnuts, wal¬
nuts and shellbacks.
The first great requisite in the care
of stock is perfect cleanliness, pure air
and abundant sunshine.
A hen that does not lay usually
does not bother the trap nest unless
she is after eggs for food.
Flax has been found a profitable
crop in the West and seems well
suited to the prairie soils.
In buying a barrel churn don’t get
one too small; If you do you will find
it takes a long time to churn.
Raising of broilers is a business by
itself. Start on a small scale and then
with success increase the capacity.
Scrub poultry may serve a good pur¬
pose In the pot, but they should not
be permitted to propagate their kind.
Stables should be well lighted and
so arranged that (he light will not
strike the animals directly in the eyes.
Few farmers and poultrymen know
about the feeding value of bright,
well-cured clover hay for laying hens.
You can not make a greater mis¬
take than to confine your breeding
ducks, especially if they are Indian
Runners.
One of the very important things to
do this month is to make your selec¬
tion of seeds and plants and order
them now.
Pruning apple trees involves so
many principles that only the most
general survey can be given in a short
discussion.
The dairy cow is one of the best
money makers on the farm; but, like
hens, she pays only according to
“value received.’’
The Holstein, the Ayrshire and the
milking shorthorn are the best breeds
for the milk farmer to raise. For
cream select the Guernsey.
Good comfortable housing and judi¬
cious feeding are the two cardinal
principles of successfully wintering
the breeding ewes.
The value of skim milk on the
farm when fed In conjunction with
grain is greater than it is usually
given credit for being.
It is a good time now to take an in¬
ventory of your farm and plan to keep
records of all transactions connected
with your fanning operations.
Don’t be In a hurry to get rid of the
old bull. Remember that he has prov¬
en himself and the calf that you buy
will be more or less of a lottery.
A chilled egg will bring forth a
weak chick If it hatches at all and a
weak chick that has hard work to live
is sometimes worse than no chick at
all.
During the breeding season mate
one drake with four ducks until the
last of April, then diminish the num¬
ber of drakes to one drake to five or
six ducks.
The lack of success which so many
farmers have with chickens in largely
due to a lack of planning, and they
neglect to give the fowls the attention
these plans call for.
Anyone can easily see that bone Is
one of the best feeds for producing
eggs, as the fat assists in forming the
yolk of the egg and also in sustain^
ing the fowl in winter.
Blitter is a good price. Feed is com¬
paratively cheap, especially so if you
have saved all of your roughage, such
as cornstalks, the best of our straw,
and things of that sort which fre¬
quently go to waste.
In making good butter and wrap¬
ping the prints with paper printed
with your name and the name of the
farm, the goods will advertise them¬
selves and by making up your milk
at home you are sure to get all there
Is In It if you go at the work prop¬
erly.
Particularly the Ladies.
Not only pleasant and refreshing to
the taste, but gently cleansing and sweet¬
ening to die system, Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is particularly adapted
to ladies and children, and beneficial in
all cases in which a wholesome, strength¬

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
“I think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on Its head when It
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but It
did no good. In a few days the head
was a solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Reme-
<Ues. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti¬
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint¬
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was cleaf and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents fafttfcg hair.”
(Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain
City, Utah, Sept 39, 1910. Send to the
Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Boston,
Mass., for free Cuticura Book on the
treatment of skin and scalp troubles.
One kind of a br^ite Is a man who re¬
fuses to flatter a woman.
Many a man who swears at a big
monopoly is nourishing a little one.
For constipation, biliousness, liver dis¬
turbances and diseases resulting from im¬
pure blood, take Garfield Tea.
Common sense in an uncommoii de¬
gree is what the world calls wisdom.—

hole?

Mrs. Rlchqulck—John, I want you to
buy a new parlor suit.
Mr. Rlchqulck—Marla, I’ve been
agreeable enough so far to get differ¬
ent clothes for morning, noon, after¬
noon and night, but I’m consarned If
I’ll change ’em every time I go Into a
different room.”
Reason Enough.
A negro near Xenia, O., had been
arrested for chicken stealing. He had
stolen so many that his crime had be¬
come grand larceny.
He was tried and convicted, and
brought In for sentence.
‘‘Have you any reason to offer why
the Judgment of the court should not
be passed upon you?” he was asked.
“Well, jedge,” he replied, “I cain’t
