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

ferent lines or details of construction

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.

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

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.

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

on them. The third hat shows a bit
of landscape done In outline with yarn,
which looks like u scene set with tho

CARE FOR ASPARAGUS
Hundred Plants Not Too Much
for Good-Sized Famiy.
It Is Hardy Plant and Cannot Be

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

'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

dressing of salt may be used since It

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

be converted Into pnsturc for a few
years with satisfactory results, If good

RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD
Mixture of Cornmeal and White Lead
Successfully Used at Missouri

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

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY V. M. PIEUOE, M. D.)
Tho subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In, recent years Investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
scientists such ns Cannon, Grutzncr,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, provo that an
abundance of water taken during di
gestion is necessary In good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys nro sick, or you suf
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in tho back or back of the
neck, tuko a llttlo Anurlc before monls.
This can bo found at nny good drug
store. Thereforo my ndvlco to young
oi old Is, nlwnys drink plenty of puro
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anurlc threo or four
times n day.
Anurlc acts much more quickly
than llthla. Many find It 'dissolves
