Fichu Collarette. Collarettes of all sorts are much In demand and make ideal little shoulder wraps that add grace and charm at the same time that they mean slight warmth. This one is peculiarly at tractive and takes the fichu form so much in vogue. As illustrated it is made of net banded with ribbon ap plied to form diamonds and is finished with frills and ties of chiffon, also ribbon banded. It can. however, be made from one material or from vari oos combinations. The cape portion of silk, the frills of chiffon or net tftkes one that always is attractive Ind many others might be suggested. The collarette consists of the cape, two frills and the scarf. The upper frill is applied over the cape on indi cated lines, the lower is attached to its edge and passes over the upper ends of the scarf, so giving a pecu liarly full and desirable effect at the front. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4*4 yards 21 inches wide, or 2 yards 44 inches wide, with % yard of any width for the cape and 60 yards of ribbon to make as illustrated. Handsome Waists of White Lace. Very handsome autumn waists are made of liberty satin and these waists are not necessarily expensive. They may be in a deep shade of oyster white, trimmed with pale white lace, and finished with applications of lace of a deep shade of ecru. It is very fashionable to make lace waists of half a dozen shades of white jace and to use the lace as one would use flounces of silk, with one flounce falling over the other. Lace, in a shade of lemon white, is appliqued with medallions of laoe in blue-white, while the whole is em broidered in stitches that are in a snade of pearl. This gives several shades of white and makes the waist much smarter than if it were all of a single tone. It is very smart, indeed, to fasten your w hite girdle with small black vel v et buttons. Set a double row of these buttons at the side and hook your girdle invisibly underneath. A white satin stock is secured in the same manner, by invisible fastenings, with doule rows of black velvet buttons at each side of the stock. Salad of Iced Cherries. Why not serve a dainty fruit salad with the game course? Procure one large can each of white and red Cali fornia cherries, remove the pits with out breaking the fruit and fill the cavities with minced walnut meats moistened with mayonnaise or finely chopped sweet peppers. Stand the cherries on iee until chilled, arrange nests of finely shredded crisp lettuce edged with small heart leaves on small plates. Fill the nests with as sorted cherries and a spoonful of thick <*>ld mayonnaise dressing, topped with & single red cherry and tiny leaves cut fr'm a green pepper. This salad ■will be Tound most toothsome, as well •s a decided table attraction. One yeasi cake is equal to one teacupful of yeast, a measurement •ften used in the older, much-prized cook books. An innovation for the table is boiled lettuce. Beil the lettuce until tender; serve the whole head and dress with hotter, pepper and salt. Cracks in iron kettles may be mended with home effort. Mix pow dered litharge with glycerin to the consistency of uptty. After those ele ments are thoroughly mixed, apply like any cement. When you happen to have a few tablespoonfuls of jam or jelly left over, try what a delicious addition it makes to baked apples, dropping a teaspoonful into the cere of each ap ple before they go in the oven. Keep a wire dishcloth to set hi the bottom of a kettle while cooking anything that may stick and burn. It will adapt itse'f to the shape of a kettle better than a trivet or a pall lid. Of course. It must be kept for tali purpose exclusively. Iced Chocolate. Carefully made and rerved iced chocolate is delicious and wholesome, Ibough not. nearly sc well known as it onght to he. To prepare it. put into a granite saucepan four ounces of pow dered ur. sweet eoe$ chocolate and six cunces of sugar. Add one gnart of «<t'r, and when well mixed place over a moderate fire and cook until the liquid is of the con sistency of thick syrup. Strain, cool &nd flavor with vanilla and cinnamon. Bottle and store in a cool place. When needed put two tablespoonsful ot the syrup in a tall glass, with three (ablespoonfuls of whipped cream, one gill of milk and one gill of carbonated water. Shake well before drinking. Currant Salad. Here is a combination I never tried before, but we found it good, wanting something different for lunch one hot day. I had slices of corned beef laid on a bed of lettuce; then we had in ice chest currants that had been washed and haa sugar scattered over them and had stood over night on ice. I put spoonfuls of these over the meat. Served with my mayonnaise dressing, it was very nice. Instead of currants, beets cut into straws and slightly pickled would be real good. If the mayonnaise gets a little thick it can 'be thinned with vinegar. Care for Light Colors. To preserve light colors in shirt waists that are built of wash goods the amateur laundress is advised to soak the waists in a gallon of cold water to which has been added a handful of salt. Allow them to soak for fifteen or twenty minutes, then hang up in Creole Syllabub. Into two quarts of rich sweet milk pour one-half pint of strawberry juice, sugar to make quite sweet and a little lemon juice or rosewater for flavoring. Beat to a froth with an egg beater and set on ice until time to serve. Just before serving stir in one pint of bleached and pounded almonds that have been soaked in orange juice. Serve in small glasses. —July Housekeeper. Children’s Play Suits. Many novelties are found in play suits for children. Jean, holland and other sturdy, old-fashioned goods are employed for these, as well as khaki, linen, pique, etc. In addition, to the “farmer suits,” which are among the simplest and most popular, there are “Jap” and Indian rigs, cowboy outfits and soldier costumes. tha shade to dry. When once dry colored cotton goods can be washed without fading, provided a little care is used. ^Confidences French blue is notable among fash ionable colcrs. Spotted and pastille materials con tinue to be popular. The fashionable gloves are cham pagne or pure white. | Tiny spangled fans in the geisha size come for the hair. Long coats are surely creeping back into vogue—if, indeed, they can be said ever to have gone out. Plain shirt waists are the only kind invored for outdoor sports. Th« lace and linen suits are two thirds lace and one-third linen. Bolera jackets of Irish lace are worn with any handsome linen skirt. Neckties made of rows of amber, jet, cornelian or amethyst are again worn. Elbow sleeves, consisting of three puffs, each separated by a fall of lace, are smart. Many sleeves are lifted at the arm holes to give a high, square-shoul dered effect. Eton coats, Russian blouses and short sacks of black glace silk are very smart x Costume of Noted Beauty. A cloth suit was worn by Miss May Schwartz, who was voted Queen of Beauty at the Mardi Gras carnival at New Orleans a year ago. Her hat was a fine white straw, with a low crown, rather round, with pale blue flowers all around it. The hat was draped with a pale blue chiffon automobile veil. This was caught round to the back and crossed and tied again in a bow in the front. The frock had an Eton jacket reaching to the waist, with each seam strapped with bias folds of the cloth. The sleeves were bell shaped, also strapped and flaring at the elbow, where they were cut off and showed the dainty full white shirt waist sleeve worn beneath. The skirt was a tight-fitting, strapped oae, cut walking length, and Miss Schwartz wore white stockings and shoes and carried a pale blue silk parasol. For Morning Wear. House jackets made with yokes that extend w«ell over the shoulders are among the latest shown and are taste ful and becoming as well as fashion able. The very pretty model illustrat ed combines pink and white diminty with white lawn, the big dots being embroidered and all edges finished with fancy braide; but the design is an admirable one for all seasons and for all materials ia vogue for gar -nents of the sort. To make the Jacket lor a woman of medium size will be » » required 4% yards of material 27, 4 yards 32 or 2% yards 44 inches wide, with %yard 32 inches wide for yoke and cuffs. Simplicity in Lingerie. These are days of extreme simplic ity in the cut of lingerie. If the dainty undergarments are costly this season this is due to the delicacy of the ma terial and the hand work employed, not to elaborateness or quantities of garniture. The nightgown is a mere circular slip, the chemise a circular j saeque, the corset covers just a frill of lace and a shoulder rosette. Quite apart from its fashion advantages, this ! circular cut in lingerie is a very wise as well as excellent idea. It reduces the weight of clothing to the least possible degree, it insures comfort through absence of bulk and wrin kles. it leaves plain spaces to show lovely trimmings to the best effect. How to Make a Pretty Fern Pot. Take a flower pot. paint it outside, then spread a thin layer of putty over it, and stick little pieces of broken china close together over the surface, letting the putty press between each piece of china. Let it stand until dry; then take some gold paint and go over all the putty that shows, aid enamel the inside a pretty color. Gir.ger jars also look very pretty when treated in the same way. I For wee folk Frocks that fall la unbroken lines from the shoulders are always be coming to small children and make tfe e best possible models. This one la j eminently dainty, and is made of sheer Persian lawn with trimmings of embroidery, but the design suits sturdy materials equally well and the yoke can be added, making it high at the neck, whenever desired. To make the dress for a child of two years of age will be required 2% yards of n y terials 27 nr .12 irebes wide. , Location for Fruit Raising. In the raising of any kind of fruit the location cuts a large figure. It has been found that high land is best for all kinds of fruit. The cold air runs off the tops of the hills and down into the valleys, just as water does. The old impression that valleys were warm is not well founded. They may be warm on a hot day because the air is stagnant and the cool air from the open country does not so readily fan the cheek. But the winter time is chiefly the time when we want a tem perature that is mild. Things planted in the valleys are subjected to greater cold than are things on the hill tops. This, too, is contrary to the old im pression. Not till man had long ob served the effects of such planting did he come to the conclusion that be had been mistaken in his first con clusions. But he found that the corn was first frosted in the hollows and that his fruit trees were injured in ihe valleys, while they were free from Injury on the hill tops. This led him to make more accurate observations by the help of the thermometer. In the spring time also the fruits on the low lands are liable to be injured by frosts for the reasons named. The land to select is the high land, as this gets more sun add less cold than any other, though the wind may have a clean sweep over it. When the lanu is a dead level It Is of course of a uniform temperature, it is better than the valley aad not so good as the hill, but makes a good average. A man with a level farm need not hesi tate to put in any kiad of fruit that will grow, provided the general con tour of the country is level. Of oourse if the level farm Is in a valley sur rounded bjr hills the objection that applies to the narrow valley on a sin gle farm holds good, in the main. The man that wants to raise fruit should have the advantage of hill sides, and if he has both southern and northern slopes so much the better. The fruit oa the southern slope will be early and that oa the northern slope will be late, on account of the varying amounts of sunshine that are rvail able. The ripening of fruit Is largely a matter of sunshine. There are parts of the country where the valleys are preferable to the hills for fruit growing; namely, those sections of the Southwest where the amount of heat is too great for the best results. Then by choosing valley locations the moisture and the cool temperature may be obtained. The Farm Garden. We are glad to see that the farmer’s garden is growing in popularity. In the Western states the farms were so extensively devoted at first to exten sive farming that there was a time when nothing but grain and cattle seemed to be thought of. The farm er's wife had a hard time of it. She had three meals a day to prepare for. That made 1,095 meals a year and she had very little on which to draw outside of poultry, eggs and milk. It took a long time to get the farmers away from their diet of fat pork and bacon. But on millions of our farms to-day are nicely kept gardens. The housewife has only to step out of doors to get a variety of vegetables at almost any time of year, from April to November. Where fruit trees are added and a grapery the good things are continued into the winter. The getting of a meal is not now the problem that it used to be. Some of our farmers have not yet awakened to the advantages of this adjunct to the kitchen. The lack is still felt in the more northerly of our states, where the climatic conditious are somewhat against the easy manage ment of a garden and fruit planta tion. Science, however, is working on the problem even there, and glass and winter protection are doing for the north what the warm sunshine is doing for the milder climate. Let every farmer put in a good garden and make the lives of his people happy. Fighting the Yellows. The yellows of peaches Is a disease that must be vigorously fought if our peach-growing districts are to he re tained. In some of the townships of Michigan there has been great slack ness in this regard. Inspectors have not been appointed that the law re quires, and even the Inspectors that are appointed find great difficulty in enforcing the law. Yet there is no cure for this disease and the only way to deal with it is to keep it away from he orchards. Men have complained to the writer that the inspectors con demn as affected with the yellows trees that were only affected by drouth or some condition that made the leaves look as If they were af fected by yellows. They thought It % hardship that the trees were not allowed to stand. But the inspectors may have been right and the disease may have been yellows. If it looked like yellows the trees should have leen destroyed any way, for the rea son that the disease is one that can not be trifled with. It is better to de stroy a good many healihy trees un der suspicion than permit this dread ed disease getting a foothold in a township. in ' icking Apples. One man suggests that a good way to pick apples is to pat a tick filled with hay under a tree and drop the applee into it from the limbs. He asserts that this has been his practice and that the fruit is not thereby in jured. This may be all right for some kinds of fruit, but it would not he for others. There are some of our varieties that injure so easily that even the pressure of the thumb and finger must be looked out for. Be sides, in the letting fall of apples from the top of the tree a greet deal of skill is required not to hit the other vpples In the tick or the limbs of the tree when the apples are being dropped. The apple basket and the apple bag will be found most advan tageous ft# most of the work of fruit gathering. V Roots and Sheep. Some of our stockmen want to know why more turnips and other roots are not grown in this country for the use of sheep. One man asserts that we do not grow more roots now than we did forty years ago. The invariable reply that has to be made to this is that the corn plant takes the place of the root very largely in American agricul ture, whether it should do so or not. Another man declares that the pres ence of the silo in America has been the reason why men did not grow more root3 for sheep. We cannot believe that this is the case, for the reason ..hat silage has never been extensively used in sheep feeding. The American farmer is rather inclined to favor the con centrated ration and he speaks of tur nips and other roots as being “moatly water.” He reads the books that give the analyses of roots and grains and fails to figure out a very large nutrient ration for the turnip. He has never put enough weight on the succulence of the root and its aid to digestion. There is no question that roots are highly relished by sheep and that they are a great aid to digestion. But the farmer is wedded to corn, which can be cultivated more easily than turnips and will survive even if the weeds do make a good growth between the rows. There is no doubt that even if a man has all other kinds of food a good acreage of roots for bis stock will pay him well. Government Supervision of Horse Breeding. Attempts have been made from time to time to secure some kind of na tional legislation that would put s pre mium on good, sound stallions of the different breeds and by inference at least act against the poor scrubs that are used because they are cheap and for no other purpose. This has not as yet resulted in any law relating to the service of stallions. The bills that have been introduced from time to time provided for the examination of stallions as to soundness and to some extent as to conformation. Just what the government can do in the matter it is difficult to say. We know what other governments have done and what they are doing, especially the government of France, where public studs are in common use. All Ameri cans doubtless believe that it would be a good thing to prevent the use of poor stallioas, but the way to do this is not plain. The radical bills fail because they are radical, and the con servative bills fail because they do not promise to accomplish much aud hence do not get the support of the breeders. The Known Stallion. A prepotent stallion of merit is of great value to a neighborhood. Often, however, the stallion’s real work is not realized till he has died or been sold. A record of the performances of stallions if kept and studied would prove of great value. The man that has a stallion that is unable to pro duco many and good' colts generally likes to keep that fact to himself if he finds it out, and the farmers in the vicinity take no trouble to prevent him keeping the matter secret. Thus a poor stallion frequently proves to be a successful competitor ith a much more valuable stallion. Old stallions are sometimes among the most useful, and they have the advantage in that their progeny can be known. We have heard of stallions being repeatedly sold and sent from place to place, do ing good work in each locality, but the farmers not finding it out till the stallion had been disposed of and removed beyond their reacn. Too lit tle importance is put on the prepo tency of the stallion and too little ef fort is made to find out what each stallion is worth as a breeder. Ups and Downs In Prices. In farm stock as in all other things that are not governed by trusts and combines there are ups and downs in prices. Just now certain kinds of farm stock are down a little, includ ing sheep and pedigreed cattle. The time for the farmer to buy foundation stock is when it is low and there i.s little interest in the breed. Ever.> one wants to buy when things arc booming, and that is just the time when buying is least profitable. The most successful farmer is the one that can figure out the course of prices a long way in advance and take ad vantage of the depressions. A big eastern financier was once asked how he got rich. He replied, "By fishing against the stream." He meant that he bought when other people were discouraged and selling and sold when things in one particular line were booming. The low prices are particu larly advantageous to the men with small capital. The Calf for Baby Beef. The calf that is to he used for the making of baby beef must be kept growing from the start. If the calf cannot be so fed on skimmllk that its growth will not be checked, then it should have whole milk till weaning time. A slow-growing animal is of little value to be used as a basis for the production of this kind of beef that is now becoming so popular. The calf must be carefully weaned. It will not do to take it off a full feed of milk and put It onto grain and roughage at once. This process must be so gradual that the calf will not realize it when its milk is finally withheld. Some Fortunate Stockmen. Little by little the practice of soil ing cattle in the dryest and hottest time of summer is coming into .vogue. There are probably more farmers this summer that have soiling crops for tneir stock than ever before. In trips through the portions of the country where live stock Is being raised we notice that here and there are large fields sown to fodder corn, and in ad dition fields ef rape and alfalfa. The use of this green stuff is greatly re lieving the pressure on the pastures, and will make them more serviceable in the fell. POULTRY I White Plymouth Rocks. The question frequently arises in one's mind, “What advantage is there in raising the White Plymouth Rock?" This breed, as developed to-day, has eo many good qualities that it would seem that any one of them would be sufficient reason for a man’s breed ing them. I believe that this breed is preferable to all others. I have been in the poultry business for thirty years and during that time I have bred, raised and sold many' thousands of fowls. I have tried about e^ry breed one could think of, yet none have given me the results that I have obtained with the White Plymouth Rocks. One of the great advantages in raising them is the large number of eggs they produce. There is no fowl that will produce more eggs in twelve months than a well-bred White Plymouth Rock. These birds mature early, becoming of broiler size in six weeks, and the pullets begin to lay at five months of age. They are excel lent as market fowls and for the table, giving a full, plump, round carcass. The feathers from a White Plymouth Rock command a price of from thirty two to thirty-eight cents per pound, while the feathers from a parti colored fowl are worth only six to eight cents per pound. This is another good rea son why one should raise White Ply mouth Rocks. During the last five years I have raised and sold over 20, 000 White Plymouth I.ocks, having shipped them to nearly every quarter of the globe. Every person that breeds them likes them and they do well In every climate, proving them to be entitled to the claim to be the best general-purpose fowl. U. R. Fisher, Bartholomew County, Ind. Ocellated Honduras Turkey. The Honduras turkey was originally found wild in that country. It has been described by travelers as most beautiful in color, equal to some of the most brilliant of the pheasants. The head and neck of the wild vari ety are naked, and there is no tuft on the breast. The ground color of the plumage Is a bronze green, banded with gold bronze, blue and red, with here and there a band of jrillint black. This variety has not been bred suc cessfully as a domestic variety in the northern climates. It is doubtful if it has been successfully bred outside of its native country. Hit or Miss in Turkey Raising. Many years ago I made the state ment that turkeys are hard t* raise. After twenty years of experience I am still of the opinion that a tig flock of turkeys at selling time is “just as it happens." In the last twenty years I have raised over 2,010 bronze turkeys, and perhaps lost half *hat number. One year I would raise nearly all hatched, and the next year, with the very same feed and care I would lose half. I could not see why this should be. It looked as if they had rather die than live. I kept the lice off, fed them on wheat bread soaked in water, with black pepper and onion tops shaved fine, wheat, corn chop and curd made from clabbered milk; and while some throve others s cmed to die from choice. But I was never so dis couraged but that when spring came I was not anxious to try again for a good flock. I have raised as high as 140 in a season. Then I thought I would not exchange my business for a little gold mine. But at other times, when I have had only 85 or 40 to sell in the fall, it was not so nice. It is no trouble to sell a fine bronze gob bler at $5, $7.50 or even $10 these days. I think it pays to kapp trying. I have bred turkeys that scored as high as 97 points, and won highest honors in many shows. I am no ex ponent of “successful turkey raising" and still think it “hit or miss." Jennie Ferry, Lincoln Co., Mo. To Get Eggs. I believe that the best conditions for egg production are those that exist where the fowls have free range, thereby getting grass, bugs, worms, bits of grain, etc. In the winter, or where fowls are confined, these food elements should as near as possible be supplied, not forgetting plenty of grit. They should also be induced to work by having their food scattered in litter. They must be kept free from lice and mites and in the winter must have warm quarters. Cleanli ness must be observed at all times. W. L. Mills, Putnam County, 111. Pure bred stock Is becoming so com mon that it is no longer high in price. The only birds that are high are those of strains that have been for genera tions of their lives In the care of ex pert men who have developed certain desirable qualities in them, either of feather, meat or egg laying. Canadian Shorthorns. The breeders of Canadian Short horns are considering the question of removing some of the restrictions now placed on the Importations of Short horns from Great Britain. They. de clare that the rules that govern the American and Canadian herd books do not permit of some of the prize winning Shorthorns in Great Britain being entered in herd books on this side of the water. They deolare that as a result the cattle of the two coun tries are deteriorating in quality and that this was the cause of some of the reoent defeats of Shorthorns by Here ford*, especially in the ftdra of West ers Canada.

The Cause of Sleep. The man who is kept awake by pain, or who suffers in any other way from lack of sleep, can usually ohtai it by the use of a drug. Such sleep however, is generally regarded as un natural, and hypnotic drugs are avoided when possible. But now comet Mr. Raphael Dubois, a French physi ologist, who tells us that all sleep it the result of drugging, the slee;> ro ducer being carbonic-acid formed v. n.> in the system.

Frlarpoint, Miss., August 22 (Spe c:al). Cured of Bladder and Kidney Trouble after 2« years of suffering. Rev. H. H. Hatch, of this place, is telling the public the good news and shooting the praises of the remedy that cured him—Dodd’s Kidney Pills. Rev. Mr. Hatch says: — "I have been suffering from Blad der and Kidney Trouble for 26 years and I have tried everything that peo ple said would do me good. But nothing did me any good except j Dodd s Kidney Pills. "I haven’t felt a pain since I took Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They gave me health and I feel like a new man al together. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the best I ever had.” All Urinary and Bladder Troubles are oaused b* diseased Kidneys. The natural way to cure them is to cure the kidneys. Dodd’s Kidney Pills never fail to cure diseased kidneys in any stage or place. They always cure Backache and they are the oniy remedy that ever cured Bright’s Dis ease.
