WHATEVER tho shape or tlyj size
of the hat, very tall trimmings are
.given preference. High effects In coq,
Jackie and burnt ostrich are all In evi
dence. V
High quill fancies, nlone or In combi
nation with bands, are favorably men
tioned. Tho majority of these are made of
coq or gooso feathers, wonderfully col
ored. Odd-looking birds with tall, slim
itails are smart. .Long pointed wings
of hackle are to continue a strong fea
ture. The new floral toques and hats are
delicious. Thoy are dainty beyond all
words, and they are, almost all, be
coming. A turned-up hat I saw recently was
a symphony In violet. The crown was
completely covered with exquisitely
mado violets, and the mount which
.stood out at one side was made of vio
'lets and violet leaves. Then tho brim
of the hat was covered with chip in a
'dull shade of violet, and the intention
is that a white laco veil should accom
jpany this particular model.
This stylo of hat Is very fashion
Last Rose of Summer in Millinery
Mai? JiHRS v v s '
THE heart of the summer could not
bo more fully expressed in any
apparel than it Is In these two ex
quiBite hats. Full-blown roses, of the
largo garden variety, aro used on both
;of them. The first hat, rather small,
ib1iovb a marvolously clover and orig
inal combination of tho simplest of
millinery mateila'.n. It Is made of
black silk braid and blue satin rib
bon over tho lightest of frames. Thoro
is n finish of horsehair braid forming
a rufllo about tho brim edge. Tho
materials aro put on the framo in the
simplest possible manner, a row of
braid alternating with a band of rib
bon. The edgo Is bound with a nar
row fold of velvet to which tho ruf
fle Is sewed. There is a facing of
thin eatin In black.
One lurgo full-blown roso Is mount
ed nt the back and a sister roso sets
closo to tho left sldo near tho edgo of
the brim. Tho model is ilnlshed by
setting small greou buda and little
pprays of foliage about tho crown and
brim. The charm In this model lies
able In Paris Somo of tho new floral
toques are rather wonderful In outline.
They aro made with turban brims and
very high pointed crowns, tho latter
completely covered with small flowers.
In other casos the entire toque is cov
ered with flowers and a butterfly bow
in black molro or black satin Js Intro
duced at one side. Either design la
cxtromely effective.
A great many pure whlto silk hata
aro worn, especially in the morning, in
conjunction with smart tailored suits
In whlto sorgo or pastel tinted cloth.
These charming hats aro as a rulo
made with flat, narrow brims, and in
many cases tho crowns aro high and
straight, like tho crown that was so
much admired when it was intro
duced isomo time ago. Whlto peau do
sole or whlto shantung is a favorite
material for covering these hats, and
somo charming little models aro en
tirely covered with lengths of ribbon
which show a picot edge.
The small black hat shown ahovo
is edged with lace and tastefully
trimmed with a large bow of cluny
laco and aigrettes.
In Its airiness and originality of design.
From tho establishment of Lewis,
in Paris, comes another simple and
striking hat for the end of tho sum
mer. It is a blocked shape of hemp
tilting upward at tho back Except
for tho wreath of full-blown pink roses
which extends over tho crown and en
tirely across the hair at tho back,
and a flat hash of ribbon which slips
through slashes In tho crown and ter
minates In a bow on tho bandeau, the
shapo Is without decoration. This
model was made for no less a person
age than tho Princess Kezianoff, on
whom it Is pictured.
No flower is quite so appropriate
when the summer lias reached Its
height aB tho big garden rose for trim
ming mid-summer milllnory. Hut it
must bo clevorly handled. An ap
pearance of weight or overelaboratlon
is out of place at this season. Tho
two modols portrayed hero demon
strate more clearly than words tho
excellence of simplicity.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Poultry must have ahado.
Good cows aro hard to buy.
'
Tho toad la the farmer's friend.
Strawberries noed lots of water and
sunshine.
Havo a regular time for milking
morning and night.
Qultlvato tho growing crop It will
pay In a better harvest.
Every poultry houso muBt bo rat
proof and free from vermin.
All pruning must tako Into account
tho habit of growing of tho tree.
Raising live stock is ono or tho moat
far-reaching means of economy on tho
farm.
Tho good shepherd will see to it
that his lambs aro entirely freo "from
ticks.
Save every good heifer calf, There
Is a scarcity of good cows all owr tho
country.
If tho cows aro put In tho stables at
milking time, let each ono go quietly
to her own stall.
The udder and its possibilities are
born with tho cow and are us Impor
tant as' the stomach.
Tho unpalnted houso takes from tho
sale value of tho farm and from tho
living valuo of tho home.
Over-ripe cream makes butter that
is Just a little bit off flavor. Churn
when the cream Is just right.
Keep the ground around tho black
berry bushes grubbed clean of shoots,
aa they will bo aa bad na weeds.
A dozen eggs can bo produced for
much less than a pound of butter not
considering the difference In cost of
labor V)
Keep a box filled with rock salt
where the horses can reach It at all
tlmea. It can bo nailed to tho feed
ttoughs.
Water tho horses as often aa pos
sible; but let tho horse that comes In
hot drink a few swallows only, until
he Is cool.
All kinds of hay when cured in the
windrow and shock has nearly double
tho feeding valuo of that dried broad
cast in tho sun.
The dairy farmer can ralso hogs
cheaper thnn anyone else and natur
ally this makes better profit for him
from this ono line.
Tho beginner with sheep will do
well 'to Invest a little money for a
good sheep book. Ono lost Bheop will
cost more than several books.
When oiling the separator or tho
churn, see to it that tho oil does not
get where It does not belong Into the
cream or tho skun milk.
Great care should be exercised when
manuies and mulches aro applied to
tho strawberry plants to so that they
are free from grass as well aa weed
seeds.
Not every dairyman can nfford a
$20,000 bull, but. like tho bantam hen
with her oyo on a goose egg, It Is a
good thing fo keep 'your eyo on, and
go ahead.
Tho turkeys thrive well on a bal
anced ration of grasshoppers, alfalfa
nnd small grain and when marketed
at holiday time will net their owners
a tidy sum.
Cows know when It is milking tlmo;
you can't fool thorn. Try It by making
them wait far beyond tho proper hour,
and they will make you pay for It by
tho lessened amount they glvo.
. .
Quack grass Is a vicious weed when I
it gets Into a grain field, and spreads I
by the largo strong creoptng root '
Btalka, crowding out grain or anything
else that Is trying to grow on tho
sanio ground.
All kinds of poultry If on free rango
will supply much of their meat food
nnd grit by foraging, but It Is well to
keep a supply on hand and foed It oc
casionally to make suro that they
have enough of these two very nccos
sary things.
Evoryono who raises poultry should
havo a truck garden stocked with all
sorts of vegetables. Cnbbajjo Ib the
best kind of sllago for winter, but In
early summer nothing grows faster
than lettuce and celery, and nothing
Is better for the fowlj.
Cow peas shade the soil.
Start on a small scalo with sheep.
Sheep devour much roughage
Weak chicks should bo segregated.
Plant a plum tree In tho chicken
yard,
Winter pruning Increases the vigor
of tho plant.
It doesn't pay to keep tho cows In,
the barnyard all night.
Plan to glvo the chickens a shady
placo during tho hot days.
If tho horso does not oat well, or
slobbers, examine his teeth. '
Fowls that nro to bo shipped should
be thoroughly cooled before packing.
Ducks should not be allowed water
to Bwlm In until they aro feathered
out.
About tho worst gardon post la
the English sparrow, n'dcd by tho
robin.
Haby beeves aro cattle llshed for
market at tho age of ten to (sixteen
months.
The sheep Is n valuable- asset h. tho
utilization of tho roughage grown on
tho farm.
Fill tho pig's stomach while- ho Is
young and ho will All your purco when
he Is grown.
Ono advantage In keeping poultry Is
that they eat much that would other
wise be wasted.
A largo amount of buttermilk In tho
fowls' feed Is said to stimulate tho
production of foathera.
Tho most beautiful cow may give
tho poorest milk. The Uabcock test
Is the criterion to go by.
It is a good plan to keep bran be
fore the chicks all tho time after they
aro a week or ten days old.
A perfect fleece Is a certificate of
porfect health In the sheop and of
good management of tho flock.
Pasture Is one of tho cheapest foods
for young pigs, beginning with ryo and
finishing with clover and alfalfa.
Carried on In a businesslike man
ner, poultry 'would provo a most
profitable enterprise to tho farmon
Hot or flat water does not fill chick
ens with enthusiasm to lay eggs. Fill
the fountains two or three times a
day.
o
The quality of milk produced by an
Individual cow generally romnlns quite
uniform and Is Influenced llttlo If any
by feed.
Draw tho lino on the cow that
mnkes you board .her for hor com-,
pany. Put a good ono In her placet
right off.
Do not forgot to salt tho horso once
a week; or, better yet, keep salt al
ways beforo him He knows beat how
much ho needs. ,
The dairy cow must havo a ration
from which sho can produce milk If
you expect her to mako a profitable
return for the feed.
A variety of food is necessary for
tho best results in feeding poultry, and
It is also cheapest because It produces
more profltablo results.
'
A swill pall left In tho room with
sweet milk will do more to spoil a
whole mess of butter thnn you can
undo In uny possible way.
Well-bred cnlves that hnvo had an
nbundanco of milk, and liberal rations
of grain before and after weaning, can
be made Into prime baby beef at ten
months.
The man who has never handled
sheep should start on a small scalo.
Tho slzo of the flock can easily bo In
creased when tho owner learns how
to caro for It.
Tho ability of a cow to produco a
certain grade of milk Is one of her In
herent characteristics and Is so well
established as to bo Incapable of ma
terial change.
Ono of tho greatest leaks on tho
farm Is tho waste of apples Hint aro
not gathered after they have fallen
from trees. Theso can bo used In a
rlous ways to a profit.
As soon as the old canes of black
berries and raspberries aro through,
fruiting, cut them out and burn them,
thus destroying many liiBOcts and fun
gous pests. Tho young canes need tho
room.
What tho farmers of this country
need moro thnn anything else Is con
structive farming. Too much of the
work that has been conducted In tho
past has been destructive. Dairy farm
ing Is pro-emlncntly constructive If
well managed.
If the tortured, helpless' cow swatn
you In tho fuco with hor tall whllo
lighting tho blood-sucking flics, don'l
rlso up In your might and whnck hyi
over tho back wIMi the milk btool, but
act moro sensibly by Bpraying tho poor
animal with a reliable fly-ropellcnt.

JUST LIKE THE BRUTE
Representative W. J. Gary of Wis
consin was born, at tho closo of tho
Civil war, in tho city of Milwaukee,
and ho represents his birthplace now.
'Left an orphan ut tho ago of thirteen,
J with five younger children on his

"Just give mo a blunkct and I can sleep up In tho loft," ho oxplnlnod.
Tho wife Insisted that he uso a room In tho house, but ho as ardently

At dawn he wiib awakened by henrlug a great t'olso below, and, pooplnj

only man now on tho rolls of copgiess
who has ever refused to .take his sal

In business not connected with the
.congresH of tho I'r.lted States.
Tho discovery was an accidental
'one and Is In no way traceable to
,Mr Wltherspoon.
