THE SEMI.WEEKLY TRIBUNE, NORTH PLATTE, NEDRA3KA. InW Coat Models That Were Shown Early In the Season Retain Their Popularity, and There Is Little or No Indication of Changes Smart Overgarments Are Worn With Big Muffler Collars of Cloth Pretty Millinery for Small Girl. The story of coats for this season has reached Its closing chapter with the presentation of styles for midwin ter and styles for driving. The drift of popular approval was too definite early in the season to encourage any radical new departures. Enrly models showed a beautiful adaptation of de sign to materials and wcro so excellent that they could hardly bo Improved upon, and there aro no distinctly dif ferent lines or details of construction In the latest nrrlvnls. In coats for midwinter long sweep- HANDSOME COAT lug lines, ample wtdfh, nnd muffler collars continue to be featured. Wool velour, tweeds, bollvla cloth, plush nnd j fur fabrics are fur-trimmed and made up on the same lines ns all-fur coats. Where fur Is used on cloth garments It often appears In an all-fur collar with bands of fur to match bordering cuffs of tho material. Plain plush and fur-fabrics make tho warmest of wraps, excepting those that are made entirely of fur, and are of all things most serviceable for midwinter wear. Tho coat of fur-fabric pictured hero may bo taken ns representative of the styles that stand approved. It Is 1- trimmed with genuine fur STYLES IN CHILDREN'S MILLINERY. and as rich looking as fur coats mnde In the samo way. Many less expensive coats of velour, or other cloths, are trimmed with bands of fur-fabric, and some of them have collars of It. But tho smartest cloth coats have big muf fler collars of cloth and huge buttons matching their own color. Some of tho buttons aro two and a hnlf inches In diameter, and two or three of them aro quite enough for ono coat. It doesn't mnko any difference Just how the headwear of tiny girls Is fashioned, it Is suro to look pretty on Its llttlo wearers. For somo tlmo'lts Inspiration has boen drawn from tho millinery of grownups. Smnll replicas of mnturo styles havo tho charm of miniatures, and tho simpler hats of Real oman s ixeaim thclr mothers liavo been copied for little misses. Their hcadwear has been a happy afterthought. Shnpes for smnll ladles aro not greatly varied, and' follow rather closely a few of those designed for grown people. Besides these there aro several types that aro staplo shapes for children, Including the poke bon net nnd the "baby" hat, with ruined brim. The really now depnrturo In children's millinery appears In tho manner of trimming, and Is Illustrated In tho picture given here. Figures In OF FUR-FAQRIC. flat applique, ot objects that they lovo silhouettes of small animals and birds, outline pictures drawn with needlework In colored yarns, garden and field flowers, embrojdered In prime order all presage a new season of dis tinctly childish millinery for llttlo ones. These trimmings are simply made, as the hats In the picture demonstrate. In one of them a band of black vel vet ribbon Is drawii about a light felt shape and serves as a background for a procession of llttlo chicks and geese, cut fr.om colored felt, which are ap plied to It. They aro fastened down with yarn or silk whjch serves to out- lino the feet and eyes, wings, or even tho feathers, If desired. A dark velour hat sets off flying birds cut from silk or other fabrics, Printed silks furnish many figures of birds, butterflies, bees, aid other things that make the work of tho mil liner simple. Feathers or other de tails aro done in embroidery stitches on them. The third hat shows a bit of landscape done In outline with yarn, which looks like u scene set with tho contents of tho tlino-honored Noah'a ark. CARE FOR ASPARAGUS Hundred Plants Not Too Much for Good-Sized Famiy. It Is Hardy Plant and Cannot Be Killed by Exposure to Low Tem perature Should Be Top Dressed Every Fall. A good patch of asparagus Is a nice ; thing to have. A hundred plants aro not too much for a good-sized family. Asparagus Is a hardy plant. You cannot kill It by exposure to low tem peratures. It should bo planted just l as soon as the ground can bo put In good, workable order In spring, nnd tho sooner It Is planted tho better (chance It will hnvo to grow and glvo ,n good yield In n year or two hence. jThen nfter It has once reached tho bearing age, it will bo good for many iyears, und glvo you nn annual and jvnluablo crop unfailingly. , The best soil Is a light loam. As paragus will not do well on heavy Hardy Asparagus Plants. land. For field culture, spread on ns much mnnuro ns can be plowed In. 'Then harrow the ground thoroughly, mark out the rows two feet apart and :Plant the roots nine Inches npart In tho rows. It would bo better to open a furrow about five Inches deep, and set the plants in It, covering them so that tho crowns will bo two or three Inches below tho surface. For the home garden, If tho bed Is a small one, It may be planted by dig ging n trench nine or ten Inches deep. Fill this with six Inches of manure and cover It with soil from tho next trench nnd so on until the bed Is pre pared, ltnkjc down smooth. Mark out tho rows 18 Inches npart and set tho plants six Inches apart In tho rows so that tho crowns will be two or three Inches below the surfnee. Asparagus being u great feeder, tho plnnts should be top dressed every fall and spring. The top dressing should be douo before the plants start to grow. You cunnot manure too heav ily. To keep down weeds a small dressing of salt may be used since It docs not injure the plants. If nfter tho plants grow nuy of them bear seed, that Is llttlo round red berries, It will be better to dig them out nnd supply thclp places with others. Tho second year after planting tho bed should yield n few stalks for the table, but not until tho third yunr enn a largo cutting bo made. The more thor ough the preparation of tho bed nt first, tho heavier tho coating of ma nure that Is burled, und the cleaner ,'.t Is kept from weeds, tho better tho .results will bo. PROTECTION FOR SEED CORN Mice and Rats Kept Away by Con structlon of "Tree" Ears Are Held in Place by Nails. Whore mlco and rats aro n prob Jem on tho farm, seedcorn may ho pro tected by putting tho seed on n "tree, This consists of a post erected over two bonrds set on edge at right an gles. To keep ndco and rats away cut a hole In the bottom of a pan the slzo of the end of the post and Slip It down tho post to about two feet from the floor. Nails with small heads or with the heads cut off may bo driven at convenient distances about tho "tree" to accommodate as much corn as" desired. The posts may bo made to hold three or more bushels of seed. Tho enrs are uttached to the "tree" by driving the butts onto tho ends of the nnlls.

Tho farmer should understand when buying machinery or putting up build Ings that price Is what you pay for a tiling. iou pay it out once. Cost is what you have paid for a thing when you aro done with It. Includes the original price, running ex penses, repairs, depreciation, losses of time nnd service. Value Is what you get out of n thing while you have It It Is measured by Uio economy of operation, freedom irom repairs ami trouble and length of life. GOOD APPEARANCE OF FOWLS In Marketing Capons Don't Pick Neck Saddle and Tall Feathers They Add to Price. Wheri you havo a particularly nice lot of well-finished cockerels of ronster size, try leaving n the neck, saddl and tnll feathers, .Jho tlio feathers on tho outer Joints of ho wings and thoso from tho hock Joints halfway up tho thigh, This Is tho method of marketing capons, and If your cockerels nro good enough In quality, some first-class ho tels will bo willing to'pny you a high er price than for chlclcens dressed In he ordinary way. SOIL SUITABLE FOR PASTURE Many Fields Have Been Impoverished by Growing Field Crops and Selling Products. Tho pasture land need not be Innd suitable for nothing else. The prac tice of using only rough land worth less for fluid crops as pasture has been so common that some have the Idea that level highly fertile soli can not be used for pasture. Whether or not land can bo used for pasture depends upon Its value, the amount of grazing It will produco and tho prices received for tho llvo stock raised on tho grass. There are many who could afford to use their good laud for pasture. Somo would find It profltuble to use n portion of their land now devoted exclusively to field crops, If for no other purpose, to build It up. Many farms hnvo been Impover ished by growing Held crops and sell ing tho products. Even tho weeds that nature persuades the soil to let grow arc burned nnd nil vegetable mntter destroyed. Such lands might be converted Into pnsturc for a few years with satisfactory results, If good stock was kept. RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD Mixture of Cornmeal and White Lead Successfully Used at Missouri Experiment Station. (By II. I KKMI'STEIt, Missouri Agri cultural uxpernnoni mauon.) Knts cause great losses In innny poultry yards, but at the Missouri Col lego of Agriculture wo have had uo trouble In getting rid of them by pols onlng with n mixture of two parts cornmeal nnd ono part sugar of lend. The hand should not come In contact with the poison feed, nnd ull other feeds should ho removed so the rats ennnot got them. Tho poisoned feed may bo kept nway from the chickens by putting It In n trny, nailed to the middle of the bot tom iof n box at least a foot square and six Inches high. The box should bo closed on nil sides except for n number of Inch nnd n half holes bored through the sides nenr the bottom. Burn or bury tho dend rnts so that chickens cannot ent them. Tho de cayed flesh of oven unpolsoncd rats Is likely to cause limber neck, ns ptomalno poison Is called In chickens. STOCK CARE DURING WINTER Conscientious Animal Husbandman Cannot Enjoy Ease Around Fire When Animals Are Cold. A good animal husbandman has sympathy for his animals. lie cannot enjoy his en so around the fire (Hiring a cold evening when ho knows his animals aro shivering In tho cold air. Tho samo Is true with food. When tho farmer sits down at his table, bountifully supplied -with thoso things Young Crlssey Steer. his farm produced, he cannot fully en joy It unless his animals aro also sup plied with feed raised on tho farm. Now Is the time to mnko arrange ments for shelter, comfort nnd feed Ing conveniences. Tho animals will not thrive If they are uncomfortable, Their bodies will need protection from the winter temperatures. These ar rangements should be raudo before cold weather comes.

Tho subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood.
