Divorces In Japan.
Divorces in Japan, which can be ob
tained on the most trivial pretension,
have somewhat diminished in number
In recent years, but they still occur
at the rate of one to every three mar
riages. In 1902 there were 349,489
marriages and 113,498 divorces.

Three-Quarter Coat.
Fitted coats in severe tailor style
are among the features shown for the
coming season and are eminently
smart as well as becoming to the
greater number of womankind. This
one allows a choice of three-quarter
or arm length and can be made as
part of a costume or as a separate
wrap as may be preferred. In the
case of the model the material ic T.ood
brown cloth with bands of the same
stitched with corticelli silk as a fin
ish. but the list of available materials
is almost limitless and the bands can
be of the same or of contrasting cloth
or silk as may be desired.
The coat is made with fronts, backs,
sidebacks and double under-arm gores,
the side-front and side-back seams be
ing continued to the shoulders, so
making long and graceful lines. The
sleeves are in regulation style with
6light fullness at the shoulders which
gives the broad effect that is the lat
est edict of fashion.
The quantity of material required
for the medium sizes is 5% yards 27
inches wide, 4 yards 44 inches wide
or 3>^ yards 52 inches wide for three
quarter length; 4% yards 27 inches
wide, 3 yards 44 inches wide or 2^3
yards 52 inches wide for arm length.
Flavors for Meats.
Certain flavors are more appetizing
with some meats than with others.
Bits of meat are delicious when made
into salads.
From bits of left-over mutton make
mutton salad, seasoning with mint or
capers.
From left-over chicken make a sal
ad, using celery for flavoring.
A delicious beef salad can be made
by chopping bits of left-over beef and
seasoning with tomatoes, cucumbers
and bits of celery.
For the Garden Party.
Garden party gowns require some
thing very picturesque in the way of
hats, and among the most fashionable
styles now worn are the Dolly Varden
and the ever beautiful Gainsborough
—two very opposite styles, but both
having a very great deal to commend
them. The Dolly Varden hat looks
best as an accompaniment to a sim
ple white muslin or chiffon gown. For
instance, such a one as that Diane
that I admired so much at a garden
party on Saturday afternoon. The
pretty white chiffon dress, with many
frills, was distinctly in 1830 style,
with its long sash ends and soft belt
of pale blue ribbon, and the Dolly Var
den hat was a veritable inspiration,
with its full frilled brim of white
chiffon and crown of closely-massed
pale pink roses. Gainsborough hats
look best always in black—gathered
tulle is altogether admirable—and a
long, sweeping ostrich plume gives an
air of dignity and picturesqueness to
an elaborate costume.—Exchange.

Some Beauty Don’ts.
Don’t neglect the dally bath If you
want a radiant complexion.
Don't be afraid of friction for the
face; freshness Is prolonged by the
tepid bath In which bran has been
stirred, followed by long friction.
This keeps the blood at the surface.
Don’t bathe the face and hands in
hard water. Soften It with a little
powdered borax or a handful of oat
meal. The excess of lime in hard wa
ter neutralizes the oil In the Bkln
pores and thus hardens the cuticle.
Try always to get rain water for the
entire bath, but certainly for the face.
It was to the saving virtues c! rain
water that many beauties of romance
owed their charms. Did not Diane of
Poitiers preserve her beauty by the
use of rain water?
Don’t bathe the face while it is very
warm or very cold.
Don’t bathe the face just before go
ing out in the sun or wind.
Swan-Formed Bonbon Holders.
Dainty bonbon holders for the din
ner table come in the form of swans,
done in crepe paper. For white and
gold dinners the paper is white, the
swan’s bill gold, and the bonbons piled
in the hollow of the bird’s back are
covered with gold foil. For a pink
dinner the same favor is shown in
pink crepe paper, and the bonbons are
wrapped in pink tissue paper, finished
with a twist that gives the effect of a
rose in full bioom.
The New Skeleton Collars.
The girl who has had trouble with
the ruching and ribbon combination
should try one of the new skeleton
collars. The ruching is basted on the
collai; which is pinned around the
neck, and then the ribbon is tied
around it. Thus the weight of the
ruching does not bear down the rib
bon, and the neck has a more trim
and tailored look.
Hemstitched Leather Sets.
Hemstitched leather sets for collars
and cuffs are among the late summer
fads accessory to the heavier shirt
waist. They come in white, black and
in the natural leather color, and are
worn with a belt to match.

Simple Skin Food.
A simple food for the skin is made
thus: One tablespoonful of pure olive
oil, one-half teaspoonful of rose water,
beaten to a cream. Rub the food into
tne skin until entirely absorbed. This
food can be used at any time. If at
night before retiring wash the skin
with warm water and pure castile
soap; then rub ointment on, always
rubbing upward; if applied during the
day, after rubbing food well into the
skin, apply drop chalk. This food re
moves and prevents wrinkles, softens
the skin and keeps it from chafing.
Most Popular Colors.
The three modish colors this season
are undoubtedly brown, blue and
mauve, and though, as always in sum
mer. white is very much worn, it is
really astonishing to note how various
shades of brown are daily increasing
in fashionable favor. Pale blue is
more enchanting than ever in the thin,
transparent fabrics now in vogue, and
gowns of this lovely color seem to be
mostly accompanied by pale blue chip
or fancy straw hats, trimmed with
white lace and a pale pink rose or
two, and a long stole of white mara
bout or ostrich feather or lace. Of
white lace stoles, to be worn with a
pale blue gown, undoubtedly the most
chic is one edged with palest pink
banksia roses, arranged in applique.
Mauve is the favorite color of several
royal ladies, and they, loyally taking
their cue from those in high places,
have set the great seal of fashion up
on this delightful color, which is so
particularly becoming to fair women;
and for real dainty, delicate beauty
commend me to a mauve gown with a
white toque or hat, and a white stole
to correspond.
Girl’s Apron With Fancy Collar.
Pretty aprons are always in demand
and are as attractive as they are ser
viceable. This one is peculiarly grace
ful and can be worn over the frock
or over the guimpe alone, as may be
preferred. As illustrated, the material
is white lawn with fancy stitching and
frill of embroidery, Uut all materials
in vogue for aprons are equally cor
rect. For afternoon and school wear
nothing is prett:er than white lawn,
but for the hours of harder usage,
chambray, gingham and the like are
often preferred and are far more dur
able.
The apron is made with full front
and backs which are gathered at their
upper edges and joined to a shallow
yoke over which the fancy yoke-coliar
is arranged. The closing is made in- i
visibly at the center back.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (6 years) is 2^
yards 36 inches wide, with 2% yards
of embroidery.
Black Still Much Used.
A touch of black on all pale-tinted
toilets is still the distinguishing note
of chic, and this is especially to be
observed in the case of modish gowns
owning Paris and Vienna as theii j
birthplace. An afternoon gown which
represents the very newest ideas of a
great French dressmaker, whose name !
is one to conjure with, is of old rose I
velours mousseline, striped with satin I
of the same shade, and so soft and
thin as to remind one more of silk
muslin than any heavier make of ma
terial. It Is very plainly made, the
long skirt sweeping round the feet ir
full folds, being gathered housemaid
fashion at the waist and devoid of anj
ornamentation, while the bodice
tucked slightly to emulate a yoke
blouses over a high belt and the Ion?
bishop sleeves are turned back at th«
wrists, with a Vandyke cuff of gold
lace, parted by a cuff of empiecemenl
of tucked black silk, the collar bein$
similarly trimmed with black silk auc
gold lace guipure.
Washing Silk Handkerchiefs.
i No soap should be rubbed on thf
silk, no soda should be mixed with tht
water, and the handkerchiefs should
on no account be boiled. A hot, thick
soapy lather, made with finely-shred
soap, should be used for cleansing
the handkerchiefs, which should after
ward be thoroughly freed from all
soap by rinsing in plenty of cold wa
ter; and when most of the water has
been pressed out they should be dried,
if possible, in the sun.
Before Washing Lace Curtains,
Soak them for a couple of hours In
cold water. This will remove the dust
and help to make them a good color.

Home-Grown Sugar Beet Seed.
A bulletin of the United States De
partment of Agriculture says:
It is believed that the average sugar
content of beets in this country can
be increased 2 to 3 per cent when we
shall have developed a higher strain
3f beets through home-grown seed.
On account of the higher vitality of
the germ, these experiments indicate
that we shall have a race of beets
more vigorous from the start.
in the production of beets for a fac
tory, the vitality of the seed as shown
by germination Is an important factor, i
It is the first evidence of the probable
yield of the crop that the grower looks
for. Everything depends upon the
stand. It is desired that a beet shall
611 every place in the row provided
for it. It is evident that if every
:hird beet is missing there will be only
two-thirds of a stand of plants ma
tured at the harvest If the rows are
18 inches apart and the beets stand 8
inches apart in the row, there will be
312 beets to the row, and 138 2-3 rows
to the acre. If every beet is in its
place there will be 43,264 beets to rhe
acre. If these beets average one
pound, there will be 43,264 pounds to
the acre, equal to 21.63 tons. If the
beets average two pounds, which is
more nearly the usual size, we will
tiave 43.26 tons per acre. This shows
the possible tonnage per acre when
all conditions are favorable and we
nave a perfect stand. Vitality of seed
'.s a strong factor in reaching this
ideal.
The plants should start out strong,
vigorous and healthful. They must
send down their taproots vigorously,
and send out their laterals quickly;
this enables them to entrench them
selves early in the soil. Plants are
like animals. Vigor In youth prom
ises much for healthful maturity.
Strong vitality or germinating power
Df the seed indicates this early vigor,
which will enable the plants to with
stand diseases, pests and drought.
The number of sprouting germs in a
given number of beet balls and the
vigor and rapidity of germination are
the tests of this vitality. Home-grown
seed has shown a higher germinating
power in a shorter time than those
selected from ordinary imported seed.
From these facts it would appear that
we are entitled to anticipate a higher
yield of beets from the use of home
grown highly developed beet seed.
The extraction of refined sugar in
this country averages 11 per cent,
or 220 pounds of refined sugar to a
ton of beets. The factory pays the
farmer for this sugar $2.27 per hun
dredweight while it is still in the
beet. If the factory could extract 13
per cent of sugar on account of our
perfecting a strain of beets with
higher sugar content and purity
through home-grown seed, a ton of
beets would yield 40 pounds more su
gar, worth at the factory $1.80. This
alone would give the factory 36 per
cent profit ujwn the investment of $5
per ton for beets. This seems quite
possible. Home-grown seed to-day of
fers the most encouraging prospect of
insuring the future growth and pros
perity of the beet sugar industry
phosphorus in Steamed Bone Meal.
In a recent talk with Professor
Hopkins of the University of Illinois,
a representative of the Farmers’ Re
view learned that the cheapest form
in which to purchase phosphorus is In
the form of steamed bone meal; that
is, for early results. It may be the
cheapest in any competition, but we
have yet much to learn about the
phosphate in unacidulated phosphate
rock. That Professor Hopkins Is
right we have every reason to believe.
His opinion is coincided in by no less
an authority than Professor Charles
E. Thorne of the Ohio Experiment
Station. That gentleman does not
hesitate to declare that steamed bone
meal furnishes the cheapest and most
available form of phosphorus that can
be obtained. He further says that ex
cept for experimental purposes the
Ohio station has abandoned the use of
the acidulated goods. By actual ex
periment it was found that the clover
producing fields were injured by the
constant application of the acidulated
fertilizers. The sulphuric acid brought
into the soil manifested Itself in bar
ren spots la the clover field, and thes.*
spots grew from year to year as moi -
fertilizer was applied. Steamed bon
meal has the advantage over raw
bone meal In that the nitrogen has
been mostly taken out of the steamed
article and therefore does not have to
be paid for. This makes the steamed
bone meal a cheaper source of phos
phorus than the raw bone meal. Of
course if a man wants also to buy ni
trogen he can purchase the raw bone
meal.—Farmers’ Review.
The World’s Wheat Crop.
That the world’s wheat crop this
year is to be a full average now
seems certain. The high prices paid
tx wheat in the markets of the United
States are not caused by a shortage
in the world supply, and as long as
we export wheat, or have a surplus to
export, the crop of the world is what
wilt finally determine the price at
which we must sell both the exporta
ble surplus and the main body used
for home consumption. The crop is
about the same as that of 1902 and
1903 for all practical purposes. One
foreign estimate is that the crop this
year will be 3,064,000,000 bushels. The
crop of last year was estimated at
from 3,087,000,000 bushels to 3,160,000,*
000, a margin so wide as to throw
much doubt on the correctness of the
higher figure. Taking the world as a
whole the yield tends to uniformity;
for when there is a great loss in one
country there is generally a great gain
in some other country to make it
good. The crop of 1902 was estimated
at from 3,029.600,000 to 3465,200,000
bushels. Even a difference of a hun
dred million bushels cuts little figure
In the wheat crop of the world, being
only between three and four per cent
It will be seen that we cannot hope
for a world price very much in ex
cess of the world price of recent J
years. The prices for wheat In ex
porting nations tend to gravitate to- 1
ward the world price, less cost of 1
transportation. .

Some Uses of Skimmilk.
That skimmilk is a useful feed for
all kinds of farm animals is an estab
lished fact. It pays better, however,
to feed it to the young animals than
to old ones, though the latter use It
to fairly good advantage. The young
ones have stomachs so well adapted
to using skimmilk that they can get
more out of it with less expenditure
of digestive energy than any others.
A good many experiments have
been made with it from time to time,
by the way of using it as a food for
mature farm animals. Here and there
1 are men that have fed it to their
milch cows, and in the absence of
other animals to consume it this is a
good use to make of it. The value in
such a case depends on the market
price that can be obtained for it. In
the case of using it for cow feed it
will be found necessary to keep it
sweet till so used.
Colts and even mature horses have
been fed on skimmilk. One man
claims that his horses came to like
milk and that less grain was con
sumed after the milk began to be fed.
We can easily believe this. The milk
contains a good amount of protein
and thi9 of course goes to build up
the muscles and make protein from
grain less necessary.
On all of our farms the use of skim
milk for chicken feeding is now recog
nized, and little urging is necessary
to induce the careful poultry raiser
to feed the fowls all the milk they
will consume. When they cannot
use enough of It on account of its
watery nature, it is very easy to make
cottage cheese for them out of the
milk.
Deliver Cream Often.
Reports from the centralized cream
gathering plants indicate that there Is
a good deal of trouble about the se
curing of cream in good condition.
The farmers in many places now have
hand separators, and in others follow
the old practice of setting me milk
to get the cream. They are too busy
in the summer time to drive to the
railroad depot oftener than they have
to, and this means that in some cases
the cream is a week old before it is
forwarded. The butter makers de
clare that it is next to impossible to
make good butter out of this crec.ni, or
when it is mixed with the other milk,
as it usually is. The problem is a
hard one and it cannot be solved by
any short method. It is, of course,
advisable to have the farmers deliver
their cream as often as possible, but a
farmer will hardly make a trip to
town if that trip is going to cost him
more for loss in his harvests than the
profits of the cream will amount to.
It is evident that we must depend on
a little Improvement here and a little
improvement there. With the proper
facilities and with sterilization of
cream on the farm It should be
brought into a condition where it can
be kept for a few days without injury
to it. If Mr. Gurler can send milk
from Illinois to France and have it
arrive there sweet after 17 days, cer
tainly our farmers can keep their
cream in sueh good condition that it
will be fit to make butter from a few
days after it is taken from the milk.
We are not advocating few deliveries
of cream, but know that there are
many of our farmers so situated that
they will not attempt to deliver cream
every day, either in summer or win
ter.
Edam Cheese.
Edam cheese is made la Holland
and takes its name from the town of
Edam. Its manufacture may hare
started at that place and so given it
the name, but for the most part it is
made in dairies and not in factories.
There are few of the latter in Hol
land. The cows are milked in the
fields, and the milk hauled to the
houses. The cheese is made in large
wooden tubs, and is placed in cup
shaped molds with other cup-shaped
molds on top. This gives the cheese
the shape of a cannon ball. In the
process of curing, salt is rubbed on
it from day to day as the cheese is
turned. Edam is the great market
where large quantities of this cheese
is sold. It is piled on the pavement
in me fora of pyramids, where the
purchasers make their bargains with
the sellers.
A New Milk Test.
It is reported that a German scien
tist has invented a new milk test, by
means of salts in solution, which have
the power to dissolve the casein of
milk. The compound of salts is mere
ly mixed with the milk in a tube and
the latter is placed in water, which
is nearly at the boiling point. The
tube used is marked with percent
ages, and the butter-fat fills the tube
in the same proportion as the fat per
centage in the milk. If this simple
system proves to be an accurate one,
the dairy world will be greatly bene
fited. .The test itself will however
have to stand the test of further in
vestigatidn and experience.
Fattening Cattle in Montana.
There is a growing demand for fat
cattle to supply our local markets,
which is worthy of the attention of
the Montana stockman and farmer.
Hitherto the state has produced large
numbers of fat cattle from its ranges,
but these have all reached a finished
condition at one season of the year,
and, conseguently, have had to be
shipped at that time in order to pre
vent loss from scanty food supplies
and severe weather. Conditions, how
ever, are rapidly changing with the
settlement of the rich valleys which
are being brought under irrigation. In
many places the large stock owner is
now able to supply food for his breed- ,
Ing herds or flocks during the winter
season. In other sections, devoted (
more largely to strictly agricultural
work, the farmer can produce enor- •
mous quantities of forage which can
sot be disposed of to better advantage ,
Jian in the fattening of live stock dur- t
Ing the winter season. It is possible -
tor our fanners not only to supply the ,
ocal demand tor beef and mntton a
iroughout the yeer, bat to prepare
arge numbers for shipping as well.— «
