Hero is n now, Separate skirt for
fall which shows no very radical de
parture from tho styles In skirts thnt
provall now. It would be difficult to
Improve upon tho simple, well adjust
ed Bklrt of today, with their good hues
and Interesting vagaries in pockets
and belts. The material In tho skirt
pictured Is n novelty, with moderately
wide stripes In n darker shado of tho
color In tho skirt, set far apart on a
ross-bar surface. ,
Tho belt and flat pockets are cut In
one piece and stitched to tho skirt.
SIMPLE, WELL-ADJUSTED SKIRTS.
Slits provide the openings for the
pockets, but their practical use Is
open to debate. . They are capacious,
however, and might carry a handker
chief or coin purse without spoiling
the line of the skirt.
The belt Is shaped to fit the figure,
and this Is the characteristic of belts
In general. They are not mere bands
about the waist, but are so cut and
placed as to give a graceful definition
of the waistline. The business of
supporting the skirt is not theirs, but
is taken care of by a webbing belt on
the under side, which fastens with
hooks and eyes. A single large bone
button at tho front of tho cloth belt
looks more than equal to Its responsl-
FOR WEAR AT
blllties, which are to fasten through a
buttonhole and give the skirt u well
finished look.
The new skirts are cut about six or
eight Inches nbovo tho ground and fin
ished with three-Inch hems. Beauti
ful tailoring Is required in them, and
is their chief charm.
A grateful, humanity betakes itself
to the water In tho burning days of
August, and thereby makes life bear
able. And the feminine half of It
goes clad In hotter looking garments'
than ever before within the memory
t of man. Not so long ago battling suits
were about all alike, and longer ngo a
: bathing- suit was not a necessity la
i the wardrobe; people played in tho
We&S
water In any old clothes. Now thai
everybody swims or takes part In wa
ter sports, beach clothes havo be
come as Important as any other pari
of the wardrobe. It Is tho bathing suit
that applies tho ncld test to tho come
ly woman's attractions.
Tho newest arrival Is an Inspiration
of tho chlralse dress. It Is made oi
taffeta and worn over short bloomers.
It has a sailor collar and two small
pockets on the body and the straight
line of tho skirt portion Is broken
with larger pockets at each sldo
Ohaln-stltching has the effect of em
broidery on collar and pockets.
A cap to match adds to the dls
tlnctlon of this modIsh"wnter-dress. It
is of white rubberized satin. A band
of black, taffeta converts It into a
small, roomy turban with coronet cut In
scallops nt the top. Tho girdle is made
of tho silk and slips through a silk
covered buckle nt the front.
Tho second suit Is much less slm
pie, but a delight to tho girl with a
Venus do Mllo figure, which it will set
off to tho best advantage. It has a
bodice and short skirt, gathered to
g'vo trim waistlines. Bands of white
rubberized satin nro stitched to this
girdle, each band terminating In a

small white button at the front. Tho
collar Is of the same satin, Short
puffed sleeves are gathered with flvo
rows. of shirring, finished with n nar
row rufllo aboyt the arm. Tho smart
cap Is made at tho satin and the up
standing satin ends at the front nro
probably wired. White cloth sleeves,
fared with black, and bluck silk stock
Ings, striped with white, bring this suit
to a charming end.
Although so many of tho season's
models nre made of silk, the virtues
ef mohair for water sports should not
be lost sight of.

GENERAL RULES FOR CANNING.
There nre several methods nil good
and practical, yet each housewife
finds one which she pre
fers, nnd thnt one Is
probably the best for
her to follow.
The Oven Method.
This Is ono which is
slmplo nnd after the
method Is understood,
very easy to perform. A
sheet of absorbent paper
Is put Into tho bottom of
tho oven, or lacking that
tho oven rnck may be put on tho bot
tom und tho jnrs placed In a dripping
pnn with a llttlo water In It, enough
to send up- steam all the time they nro
cooking. The Jars are filled with fruit
and then u hot sirup poured in to near
ly fill them. Place In the oven on tho
nsbestos sheet, being enreful that the
jars do not touch ench other or tho
sides of the oven where the heat Is
greatest. When the sirup bolls up
and flows over the tops of tho fruit,
remove the Jars, fill with boiling sirup,
put on sterile rubbers nnd new tops
nnd seal. For small fruits 10 to 15
minutes In n hot oven Is sufficient time
to cook well, but with Ann, larger
fruits, like peaches, pears and plums,
n longer time will bo needed. It Is
wise to take out a piece of fruit and
try It with n spoon to see If it Is well
cooked before filling nnd scaling tho
cans.
Tho ndvnntago of this method Is
thnt the fruit may be put Into the
sterile Jars the night before nnd while
breakfast Is preparing tho cooking enn
go on, the cans flfled and all out of
the.way before the work of tho day
begins.
Another method very popular among
campers where tho wild fruit Is picked
and put up In tho woods with few
things to work with, Is the following:
Put tho fresh fruit Into sterile Jnrs
with good tops and new rubbers, fill
Ing the Jnrs to overflowing with hot
sirup of any richness desired, seal and
place In n boiler, pour In boiling wn
ter to cover tho Jnrs to a depth of two
Inches. Put on tho boiler cover nnd
pack rugs, carpets or anything to
keep the hent, leave 21 hours, tako out
the cans, screwing them to be sure
they nro perfectly air tight, wrap Jnrs
or put In n dark, cool plnce.
I feel It my duty, to emphasize that
tho food situation Is ono of tho utmost
gravity, which, unloss solved, mny pos
sibly result In the collapse of every
thing we hold dear In civilization. The
only hope la by the elimination of
wasto and actual and rigorous solf-sac-rlflco
on the part of tho American peo
ple. Wo do not ask that thoy should
starve themselves, but that they should
cat plenty, wisely and without waste.

GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.
A Georgian cook mnkes tho most de
licious peach pickles In tho following
slmplo fashion :'
Pare firm cling
stone penches and
pack them cold
Into largo stono
Jnrs. When filled,
pour over them suf
ficient table sirup

needs. Put lnn cool plnce ; In a short
tlmo the Blrup begins to work, the
add of the fruit turning to vinegar.
and In two months tho pickles ard

PRINCIPAL CAUSE OF SCOURS
Feeding From Dirty Palls or Giving
Rations Unhardened Stomachs
Cannot Properly Digest
Thoso who rnlso young calves by
hand know thnt scours Is ono of tho
greatest, If not the greatest, sourco
of loss. Dr. O. 0. Llpp, veterinarian
nt tho South Dakota college, says
feeding from dirty palls, or feeding
"rations tho unhnrdened stomnchs of
tho young calves cannot digest, nro
tho two mntn causes from which this
trouble may arise.
Tho milk pnlls cannot bo kept too
clean. Scrupulous enro must ho oh
served If tho feed pnlls nro not to bo
tho source of scours. Washing nftor
ench feeding with cold water Is not
enough; n thorough scalding at least
once a day Is essential and exposure
to bright sunlight on every clear day
will not como amiss. Bacteria aro
little things, but tho way they live
and multiply Is remarkable, und tho
damage they can do when they get
started assumes mighty proportions.
When the feed is hnrd to digest nnd
tho first ovldcnco of stomach disorders
nppenr, a doso of physic Is tho best
cure. A few tablespoonfuls of castor
oil or an equal amount of salts will
removo tho offending food and restore
tho system to working order again.
A 40 per cent solution of formalde
hyde has nlso been found to bo nn
offcctlvo preventive of scours.- Ono
tablcspoonful of formalin is diluted In
one pint of wnter. A spoonful or two
of the solution may then bo added to
the calf's milk ns mnny times a day
und ns long nn conditions demand.
REVENT COW FROM KICKING

In a llttlo while the heifer would stand
without tho strap.
A very good method to euro a' 'cow
from kicking and to teach her to stand
still while milking Is to fasten a 2-by-4
timber securely to tho floor and coll-
lncr Just back of the cow. then have
n good, strong strap, wllh u buckle, pnss
around her hind right leg nnd then
around tho 2-by-4 und draw up tight
and hucklo it. Drive a splko In the
U.-by-4 part way to keep the strap from
slipping down when tho cow struggles
to get her leg free.
SPEED OF STEAM SEPARATOR
Farmers Should Be Careful to Follow
Directions Given by Manufactur
ers of Machine.
Sonic tests conducted by the Indlnnn
station. show that much cream mny bo
lost by not running tho creum. separa
tor tho proper number or revolutions.
Farmers should bo pnrtlculnr about
following directions of tho seveml
mnkes of separators. It has been es
timated that over 05 per cent of tho
dairymen turn their machines too
slowly. Tho question of speed, there
fore, becomes ono of much Importance,
and dairymen should look nftcr this
feature of milk und cream handling
twlth ns much cnrefulness us they do
tiny other detail of milk uaudiing.
PREVENTING HORNS ON CAl-F
When Animal Is Week or Twu Old
Rub Caustic Potash on Little Nubs

(North Dakota Kxporlmetr Station.)
Horns can be prevented from grow
ing on a calf by rubbing cnu'tlc pot
ash on tho little r.ubs thnt develop
Into horns. A good time to do this
Is when the calf Is a week or two old.
Wrap one end of tho stick of cnusttc
In paper to protect Mie fingers, moisten

careful that It does not run down fhe

hair helps. Make threo applications,
allowing It to dry between each appli

from rain to keep tho caustic from
spreading.
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $30,000.
Lnwrcnco Bros, of Vera, Saskatche
wan, nro looked upon ns being amongst
tho most progressive farmers In West
ern Canada. Thoy havo had their
"ups-and-downs," and know what it
is to bo in tight pinches. They perse
vered, nnd nro now In nn excellent
financial position. Their story Is an
Interesting one. Coming In from tho
states they traveled overland from
Calgary ncross tho Bnttlo river, tho
Red Deer river, through tho Eaglo
mils nnd on to Battleford. On tho
way their horses wcro stolen, but this,
did not dishearten them. They had
somo money, with which they bought
moro horses, and somo provisions.
When they reached Bnttleford thoy
had only monoy enough to pny their
fcrrlago over tho Saskatchewan river,
nnd this they had to borrow. It was
in 1000 thnt they filed on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
lars In order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frnnk Lnwrcnco says:
"Since that time wo havo acquired
altogether n section nnd a half of
land, In addition to renting nnother
threo quarters of a section. If wo
had to sell out now wo could probably
realize about $50,000, and hnvo mado
all this slnco wo enmo hero. Wo got
crops In this district of from 80 to
35 bushels of wheat to tho aero nnd
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the aero.
Stock hero pays well. Wo havo 1,700
sheep, 70 cattlo nnd CO horses, of which
n number nro registered Clydes."
Similar successes might bo given of
tho experiences of hundreds of farm
ers throughout Western Canada, who
hnvo done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
havo comfortable homes, with nil mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, puro ventilation, and automo
biles. Speaking of automobiles it will
bo n revelation to tho reader to learn
that during tho first half of 1017, 10,-
000 nutomobllo licenses wero issued In
Alberta, twice as many as In the whole
of 1010. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 li
censes wcro Issued up to tho first of
May, 1017. In Its monthly bulletin for
Juno tho Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to tho general prosperity of tho
West in the following:
"Generally speaking tho western
fnrmcr Is, In mnny respects, In a much
better position than hitherto to In
crease his production. Two yenrs of
high prices for his products havo en
abled him, oven with n normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and nt tho same tlmo
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity Is reflected In tho domnnd
for building mntcrlals motor enrs
nnd other equipment. It is no doubt
truo thnt somo extravagance Is ovi-
denced by tho astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must bo remembered
that many of theso enrs will mnko for
efficiency on tho farm nnd economize
both tlmo und labor." Advertisement
