Loop City Northwestern J. W. BURLEIGH, Publisher. LOUP CITY, v . . NEBRASKA. One thing Is certain. If hoops are coming into style, feminine golf is go ing out. The proposed coffin trust is a very grave matter, that should at once re ceive the attention of the trust Dust ers. Unlike President Roosevelt, Mr. Gates now feels that going out after bears is both dangerous and unprofit able. Two coachmen have married rich women. They have demonstrated their ability to drive in double har ness. As a mild retort it would be just like Mr. Carnegie to set aside a small fund for the maintenance of decayed dukes. There are some persons xwho never will believe that they cannot buy up all the wheat in the world until they have tried. It has been discovered that women wore corsets as far back as 1600 B. C. Nevertheless the sex has managed to survive till now. The St. Louis man who killed him self in order that his wife may be hap ny has not set an example that will be generally followed. Forbes Robertson declares that Hamlet was not mad. Hamlet never caw himself portrayed on the stage by an amateur actor. At the present rate of progress the chauffeur of the future will have to be a graduated physician, with a knowledge of embalming. The son of a Pittsburg millionaire has secretly married a kitchen girl, but, if anybody, perhaps she may be the one to be commiserated. Gabriele d’Annunzio is said to be writing a tragedy based on the life of Nero. The fire scene, with the emperor violining, will be great. How will the New York multimil lionaire who was fined $25 for break ing the automobile ordinances ever be able to bear up under the blow? Sarah Bernhardt says crinolines are “infamous,” but as she also ob jurgates trousers and silk hats, we conclude she’s only half right after all. A New York landlord announces that he will not make trouble for peo ple who have babies in his flats. Some men would risk almost anything for notoriety. As they never swear up in Maine, the legislature of that state has im posed penalties on anyone “who vexes, harasses or annoys another over a telephone.” Certainly those two French doctors never had any reason to dream that they would ever have an opportunity to perform an autopsy on the body of John Paul Jones. Our ungallant probate court has ad judged a woman insane just because she says she is growing younger as her successive birthdays roll around.— Ohio State Journal. King Victor Emmanuel and Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan had a very pleasant chat. The American money king is decidedly persona grata to the other king since the Ascoli cope affair. Harvard students have shown that there are fifty methods of working one’s way through college, but the chances are that none of them is so satisfactory as working dad’s check book. A dispatch from Cleveland says Mrs. Chadwick is not receiving visitors. It isn’t necessary, however, for the doorkeeper to tell any fibs for the pur pose of making callers think the lady is out. In spite of that astrologer's horrify ing prediction about a coming earth quake that is going to destroy New York, we doubt if the Astor real es tate will be advertised for sale at panic prices. The April fool story printed in Ber lin about the looting of Uncle Sam’s treasury was taken seriously. The Scotch apparently are not the only people who need trepanning to get a joke into the brain cells. It is announced that the American national game has made great prog ress in the land of the mikado. See ing how the Japanese have been fight ing all through the war, we thought that they could play baseball, 1 Mrs. Oliver Harriman, one of the most fashionable young women in New York, has decided not to go to Europe this year because she thinks she ought to stay at home with her baby. What is high society coming to? It may be predicted with confidence that the new hoop skirt will be some thing different from the kind in vogue forty or fifty years ago. No oppor tunity will be given by the fashion makers for utilizing the contents of the attic' There is in Philadelphia a woman who is suing an ossified man for $25, 000 for alleged breach of promise. Her lawyer is probably Justified in believ ing they can prove that the man gave her both the marble heart and the stony stare. An Illinois man has just married the lady he began courting fifty years ago. We sincerely hope that the wed ding is not merely the result of a fear upon the part of the gentleman that the taxing of bachelors may become general in this country. I WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING ^ ;a s: A Tied Girdle. It is quite possible to have a differ ent girdle for every gown and to have them look natty and nice with no trou ble at all by adopting the following plan: Take two yards and a half of rib bon, more or less, according to the waist measure. After skirt and waist are properly adjusted place the center of the ribbon at the center of the waist front. Run the ribbon around the waist, cross at the back and bring the ends in front again. Cross them in the middle and pin securely with a safety pin, through bodice and cor set and tie the remaining ends in a smart little bow exactly over the pin. which is put in “blindly,” that is, just under the edge of the ribbon; this edge is turned over and covers the fastening. The same applies to the piont in front. When properly put on and fastened this girdle bears all the earmarks of the latest thing in French belts, even to the jaunty bow in front and no one would guess that it owed its style to one large safety pin and a piece of rib bon. Graceful Tea-Jacket. i Sweet simplicity and graceful light ness are combined in this little coatee of spotted net, edged with lace and fastened with bows of ribbon. Vienna Biscuits. These are good to eat and not diffi cult to make. Rub two ounces of but ter finely into four ounces flour and one ounce of sugar and a pinch of salt. Put the yolk of one egg in a cup, add a little milk to it, pour them among the dry ingredients, making them into a soft, but not sticky paste. Roll out about an eighth of an inch thick, cut it out into rounds about the size of the top of a claret glass; out of half of these remove a smaller round from the center. Put these cakes on to a buttered tin and bake in a slow oven till a pale brown color. Melt two ounces of good chocolate in a pan. it must not boil. Spread some of the melted chocolate on one of the cakes and press another that has the center out quickly on the top. Proceed like this with all. Just before serving put a piece of red jelly in the center. Ornaments That Are New. Brooches and pins offer a plethora of choice. Three little chicks, with diamond eyes and bills of pale yellow enamel, standing on a bar of gold, make a novel design. Very attractive brooches have the maidenhair fern, the lily-of-the-valley and the snowdrop treated with great delicacy and skill. Fine enamels are employed for the leaves and drop pearls for the flow ers. Endless are the devices for pend ants and necklaces. The dainty chains passing through a jeweled slide oi dewdrop-like scroll work, with pend ant pearls set tasselwise as a finish, gives a charming effect. The rope of pearls used as a necklace, with slide, and terminating in veritable tassels of pearls is also uncommon. Pendants in festoon effect and the matrix in gold and enamels are among the choice de signs. Waist Belts. Waists for the most part are appar ently composed of belt and bodice dra pery and on the smartest frocks— those that have a boned lining—the belt is not detached, but is part of the bodice drapery cunningly arranged. This arrangement must be well done to be a success, and when accom plished it saves the fair owner of the gown much trouble and annoyance and “missing connections” are not likely to happen. Belts have changed somewhat in their outline. They are now extremely high at the back and all the front depth is below the waist line, which is so cleverly managed that there is no droop or dip. The New Petticoat. Women should be grateful to Lady Wheatman Pearson for bringing an in novation in petticoats. The new petti coat is made of white kid, about the thickness of a glove, and reaches just below the knees, where flounces of lace or silk are buttoned on. These ruffles can he taken off easily and changed to suit the wearer’s pleasure. As Lady Pearson is the wife of an enormously wealthy contractor, she probably did not adopt this garment because of its economy, but rather for the smoothness of its fit. Probably it has been a potent factor in earning for her a reputation of having one of the most graceful figures in London. How to Wash Table Linens. A firm of linen manufacturers gives some useful hints for washing table and other linens. They advise the best of washing soaps, to begin with. Soaps full of alkali discolor linen. It is better to wring linen by hand, or at least have the rollers of the wringer fairly loose. Be sure that the rins ing process Is thorough. A great im provement in doing up linen is this stock: ' Dissolve one ounce of gum arabic in half a pint of warm water. Add one tablespoonful of the solution to a quart of water and wring out the linens in the mixture. A point in the care of towels: Admonish the mascu line members of the family never to wipe a razor on a towel. The damage done often does not show at the time, but is apparent after the towel is washed. Reappearance of Black Satin. Black satin is one of the vogues of the season—satin of the softest qual ity, that drapes as easily almost as washing silk. For many seasons past the black satin dress has been out of fashion, and we have seen little of this excellent material for the composition of complete gowns, so that, for this purpose at least, it reappears almost as a novelty. One of the smartest of black satin gowns is made with a flounced and gauged skirt, and the prettiest of pelerines, opening back and front over a blouse of guipure lace. Black satin blouse costumes and others with fashionable draped and cross-over bodices, with vests of lace, are other pretty styles that are creeping into favor. Coffee Glace Icing. Sift half a pound of confectioner’s sugar into a pan over a gentle heat, add slowly enough warm water and coffee essence to make it thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Stir it over a slow fire, but on no account let it boil. If you add too much water or essence stir in more sugar till it is the right consistency. Pour quickly over the cakes; it should flow smoothly like a thick sauce. After a few minutes it sets and gets hard. Blue Straw Hats. The millinery world is gay with colored straw. A new shade of blue is evident—a blue that savors of the ultramarine in an artist's color box— and this is met with in soft, thick straw trimmed with foliage wreaths, a favorite hat shape being the new French sailor or American sailor. Very rich in coloring is the blue straw hat of a rather deeper shade than ultramarine, with a scarf of blue glace silk and a bunch of roses shading from old pink to purple, through gradations of crimson and magenta, placed on the crown near the left edge, more roses appearing at the back, where, according to the mandate of fashion, the brim must be very much upturn ed. Chip hats in Sevres blue, with bands of white chip let into the brims, are other pretty fashions of the mo ment. Horseradish Sauce. One tablespoonful of butter, two ta blespoonfuls of flour, two heaping ta blespoonfuls of grated horseradish, a tcaspoonful of sugar; salt to taste; enough milk to make it of the right consistency. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, and milk graduaUy, stirring briskly, then put in the salt, the sugar and, finally, the horseradish. - —■ ■ - oudoir 3on!iidences The green hats are legion. Coque de roche is heralded again. Some bib effects suggest ecclesias tic robes. Dolly Varden sleeves show snug, eight-inch cuffs. Opalescent effects are as good in gauzes as in paillettes. A realistic dead rose appears in most headgear clusters. The last little piece of neck fur lingers, but more for looks than warmth. r A little more than twelve dollars buys a dainty robe gown of flowered net. Those new silk blouses cut like a man’s negligee shirt are having a tre mendous go. Proper Cooking of Onions. Perhaps no vegetable is more abus ed by the careless or ignorant cook than the homely but particularly wholesome onion. The oil and rank flavor which are objectionable to many palates and stomachs may be dissi pated by soaking an hour or so in warm water, after which rinse in cold water, wipe dry and put on to cook in boiling salted water. Salt tends to preserve the peculiar flavor which is the onion’s life, and no amount of after salting can restore it. Modish Silk Travel Coats. Burlingham shantung and all the heavy.silks of this class are much fav ored for motor and driving coats, trav eling coats, etc., and have body enough to tailor well, though they are some times made up in elaborate fashion, with heavy lace for trimming. Latest Fashion in Taffetas. An afternoon gown m light-colored taffetas, with deep-shaped belt finished with embroidered buttons. The same handsome buttons fasten down the tabs on front and sleeves. Vest and lower sleeves in lace. Skirt trimmed with tucks overlaid with tabs fixed by buttons to match. Another Novelty. The smart little capes made by the Parisian modistes to match coat and skirt costumes or princess robes of cloth are not often worn here, al though the Parisians favor them. They give just the needed bit of warmth at times, without spoiling the color scheme of the costume or the outlines of the figure. Good Toilet Water. Oil of lavender, two drams; oil of lemon, two drams; oil of neroli, one dram; tincture of turmeric, one dram; oil of rose, ten drops; oil of balm, thirty drops; alcohol, three pints; rose water, one pint. Mix the oils well with the alcohol and then add the other ingredients. Keep it bottled and use a little in the bath as needed. Baked Tomatoes. Peel and slice some large tomatoes, put a layer of tomatoes in a well-but tered dish, season with salt and paper and strew' with breadcrumbs, then an other layer of tomatoes and crumbs until the dish is full, having some pieces of butter and crumbs at the top; cover closely and bake for hall an hour. Remove the cover, brown and serve. -- Dressy Cloth Costumes The gown at the left is of soft cloth trimmed with applications and bands of the same cloth. These trim the bottom of the skirt, also the jacket. The latter, with basque at the back and sides, is cut off in front in bolero fashion and finished around the neck with a shawl collar of light embroid ered silk. The other gown is of soft cloth or cashmere. The corsage is covered with two bretelles on each side meet ing at the waist. These are bordered with cord or soutache and lace rif fles and ornamented with large fancy buttons. Between them are plaited in sertions, or bands, of dotted tulle. The full shirred or gathered chemi sette is of tulle trimmed with little lace ruffles, and the girdle is of kid. The sleeves are puffed and draped and finished at the elbows with bands of the material and frills of lace, the former trimmed with soutache, or cord, and buttons. The skirt is plait ed over the hips and trimmed in front with two bands of the material bor dered with the cord of soutache. I Closeness of Corn Planting. The closeness of planting corn de pends to some extent on the latitude. Thicker planting is possible in the north than in the south on account of the smaller growth in size of the stalk. In tests made in Georgia, Louisiana and South Carolina, rows five feet apart, with stalks at intervals of thi'ee to four feet, were preferred. At more northerly stations best results have been obtained with rows about three feet apart and with stalks 12 to 16 inches apart. Closer planting will in many cases give a larger yield of fodder, but it will he at the expense of the grain. Where the corn is to be used in the silo the planting should be with rows about thirty inches apart and with the kernels six inches apart in the row. This will give stalks without ears, but the amount of food from one acre will be probably greater than from any other mode of planting. The idea that it is necessary to ensilage ears of corn with the stalks to get the best results seems to be exploded by recent experi ments. The above estimate is for the dent varieties. The flint varieties of corn grow smaller and may bo planted a little thicker than the dent varieties and yet give a good yield of grain. At the Connecticut station where rows stood four feet apart, a flint variety of corn gave the greatest returns when the kernels were planted one foot apart in the row, while a dent variety gave greatest returns when the kernels were planted two feet apart. This shows something of the difference be tween the two classes of corn. In experiments at the Illinois sta tion on fertile prairie loam with rows 44 inches apart a medium-sized dent variety gave the largest yields of good corn when planted at the rate of one kernel each 9 to 12 inches; the yield of corn and stover increased with thickness of planting up to one kernel each three inches. Alfalfa. No plant of economic value has come so rapidly and prominently into the notice of people in this country of recent years as has alfalfa. One thing in its favor is that it is a perennial plant. In many localities in this coun try it will live for ten and fifteen years on a single field, while reports from South America tell of fields that have been in alfalfa for two centuries. It is now grown extensively on both of the American continents and in Asia. Professor N. E. Hanses was some years ago sent to Asia to seek out hardy plants and he followed the al falfa up into Siberia. There he found it growing in localities where the ther mometer goes down to 40 degrees be low zero in the winter. It is there fore a plant that will grow well in the temperate zones, though it is account ed as belonging to the warm coun tries. In the South it is supposed to do its best, but we have seen very unsatis factory fields of it in some of the Southern states and fairly good yields as far north as Minnesota. Given a soil filled with humus and bacteria to make nodules on its roots, with a fair ly good amount of sunshine, alfalfa will develop rapidly, with proper care. In some localities, however, the prob lem has been to keep out the grasses during the third and fourth years. Alfalfa stands drouth well, not be cause it can get along without mois ture, but because it sends down its roots to a great depth and below the strata of earth that are generally af fected by the dry weather. This deep rooting habit is of great value in some parts of the country where the soil is sandy to a considerable depth. The Well Curb. Neighbor farmers, quite a few well platforms looks dirty and rotten, some are so large that a flock of geese and ducks can roost on over night. It is easy to make one that is clean and more solid than the old style plank. For a well that has tubing to the top, put two pieces about 3Yz feet long, one on each side, close to tubing dug in, with upper ends even with tubing; over these spike a two-inch circular piece, the diameter being 10 inches in center; cut a pole for pump; then take an old binder hoop and lay it around posts, and fill in with gravel and cement. This platform will last and be clean and solid.—Heye J. Wes seis in Farmers' Review. Weeds in the Pasture. The pasture is of all places the abiding place of weeds. In the plowed fields they are annually dis turbed and rooted out, but in the pas ture they are subject to no such clean ing out. Yet quite large areas are practically abandoned to them, which would be producing good grass If the weeds were but mowed for a few sea sons in succession. Irrigation from Artesian Weils. About fifreen years ago Congress made an appropriation for the investi gation of the feasibility of irrigating some of the arid West by the assist ance of artesian wells. The work was carried on under the direction of the United States Department of Agricul ture. The work of the commission ap pointed showed that there are two im mense artesian basius in the United States, one of them in the James River Valley in the Dakotas and the other in central Texas. In California there ex ists another great artesian basin, and the water from it is now used in irri gating about 60,000 acres of Ivad, most ly in the San Joaquin Valley. East of the Rockies the work of irrigating by artesian wells is less advanced than west of the mountains. Geese and Potato Bugs. A man that used to keep geese tells the Farmers’ Review that he found them a great helf in destroying pota to bugs. They would walk down be tween the rows of potatoes picking c.T the bugs on each side. They a;e a good many worms during tbe day, but were not entirely thorough ia their j work. 1 noon Care in Spraying. We recently heard A. V. Schermer horn tell how some boys sprayed an orchard that came under his ob servation. Like most boys they did not appreciate the necessity of great care in the performing of this im portant operation. The hose was turned first on this part of the tree and then on that, zigzagging here and circling there, till the work was sup posed to be finished. Not till the leaf blight made its appearance could the imperfections of the work be seen. Then it was found that the leaves that had received proper treatment were in good shape, while the places that had been skipped were very evi dent by brown and dead leaves on the trees. These brown and dead leaves made all kinds of fantastic shapes on the trees and more than anything else were a lesson of how to do and how not to do a thing. It is of little use to spray at all if the work is not to be carefully and properly done. It is not safe to leave the work to boys, as they have not the mature judgment required to in sure a proper performance of the work. Men that have made a study of the work of spraying are the ones to whom should be intrusted this im portant task. It is necessary that the spraying material be of just the right strength, and that it be applied just to the de gree of efficiency. A fii^j mist should be thrown on the leaves and not great drops. This mist application should be continued till the leaves begin to drip and then it should be discon tinued. Every leaf and twig should be reached. The work should be done when there is no wind or little wind. A heavy wind causes the loss of much of the spraying liquid. It is also dif ficult in such a condition to get the leaves on the lee side of the trees properly covered, as the leaves on the windward side catch the spray and shelter to some extent the leaves on the other side. Commercial Apple Orcharding. Commercial apple orcharding is a business entirely distinct from ordi nary orcharding. The man that is en gaged in this business makes the rais ing of apples for market his principal business. He does not have to con sider his own likes and dislikes among fruits, but raises the kind and num ber of varieties that he thinks will bring him the most money. The man that owns a family orchard raises a large number of varieties, that he may have fresh apples coming on during several months of the summer and fall. The commercial orchardist wants his apples to ripen at about the same time, and generally he finds it pays him best to raise but few va rietiej. The commercial orchardist must (Select varieties with good keep ing power. The short keeper is of small value to him, as he must sell if within a few weeks of the harvest, while at that time the market may be so glutted that he is compelled to sell at a loss. No man can succeed as a commer cial orchardist that does not make a careful study of his business. The soil must be studied to find its adapt ability to certain varieties, for some varieties will be a complete failure on one kind of soil that might be suited to some other variety. The family orchard may have one or two varieties that prove failures on that kind of soil, but the loss is not felt. Such a loss with ten thousand trees would be a serious matter. Commercial apple orcharding can only be carried on by a man with considerable capital, as the expendi tures are annually large, and there must be many years before a harvest can be expected. The man that has money and experience in apple grow ing can probably find no safer busi ness than commercial apple growing —Albert Bates, Du Page Co., 111., iu Farmers’ Review. Save All Fruit. We notice that a Michigan man advocates the peach growers de stroving the peaches that are sc ripe they have to be picked od Saturday, as they arrive in the mar kets in a bad condition and have to be sold so lowr they depress the market He says more money would be made by destroying them. This is perhaps a commercial policy that would com mend itself to some, but it is a heart less thing to advocate. People will never consider the destruction of hu man food a commendable act. What is the matter with canning or drying the peaches? Veteran Apple Tree. In Grafton county, New Hamp shire, at a point one hundred and thirty miles farther north than Cleve land, O., says Edith M. Colby in Ohic Farmer, there are some apple trees more than 115 years old, which are still standing and bearing good crops One of these is 12^ feet in circum ference one foot above the ground and over 40 feet in fceight. This tree was one of 60 carried by the original owner 30 miles on his back, when he planted his first orchard. fTVe gen erations in direct descent have gath ered the fruit from this tree, and it i? still healthy and vigorous. Preparing for the Orchard. When a farmer means to plant an orchard he should prepare it a year oi two beforehand. The ground should be planted with some crop that will have to be thoroughly cultivated like corn or potatoes or garden vegetables. Put ting the land into small grain would hardly serve the purpose. The plow ing, too, should be quite deep to in sure uniform drainage throughout the tract to be planted with trees. Tve wheat plant was gradually de- , veloped from a wild form, asd the de , velopment has been so great that it is ; now disputed what the wild form was If tnis was the case under poor con ditions of manipulation, what may be the case under scientific management . 1 HAPPY WOMEN. Mrs. Pare, wife of C. B. Pare, a pro m i n e n t resident of Glasgow, Ky, says: “I was suffering from a com plication of kidney trou bles. Besides a bad back, I had a great deal of trou ble with the seqre uons, which were exceedingly variable, some times excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and pass ages were accompanied with a scald ing sensation. Doan’s Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and ban ished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound and I feel much tetter in every way.” For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo. N. Y. Some men never make a mistake be cause they never make a move.—Chi cago Tribune. Investigation of the Packers. Very general interest has been man ifested in the government investiga tion now in progress into the mode of conducting business by the large pack ers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much has been written upon the al leged illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; but it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of illegal or inequitable methods has been dis closed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of this great indus trial interest is now passing over the country it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yet no opportunity to make specific denial, the many indefinite charges of wrong doing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vin dication of the Western packers, but this result having been unexpected at tempts in many quarters to discredit it were made. In view of the situation as it now’ stands, however, attention may proper ly be called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being ap parently overlooked. Fair treatment in this country has heretofore been ac corded to all citizens whose affairs as sume prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that bear upon the relation of the packers to the com merce of the country may at this time be briefly alluded to. It would be difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farmers of the country result ing from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to the farmer is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And con nected with their continuous aggres sive work no feature perhaps has been more important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural prod ucts have gained but little in the past twenty years, and leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less in 1903 than in 1891. But in packing house products there was considerable gain during this period, because an organized and powerful force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benefits reaped by farm ers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in at taining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-prod ucts has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in the United States. The waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense to the packer, is now converted into ar ticles of great value, and, as an eco nomic fact, this must correspondingly Increase the value to the farmer of every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stockyards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now it is so popular to regard the great packing industry as deserving of condemnation At least it must be ad mitted that, so far, there is no ade quate reason for the almost unani mous howl that may he heard every where in the face of the Garfield re port above alluded to which practical ly exonerates the packers from the ob scure and indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the sub ject of popular comment — American Homestead.
