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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

mon that it is no longer high in price.

feather, meat or egg laying.
Canadian Shorthorns.
The breeders of Canadian Short
horns are considering the question of
removing some of the restrictions now

do not permit of some of the prize
winning Shorthorns in Great Britain
being entered in herd books on this

as a result the cattle of the two coun

that this was the cause of some of the
