I'ltra smart are the coat sets in heavy crash. While a few of them are entirely of a creamy hue. the most ef fertive are in old rose^delft blue, pas te: ureen or khaki, embroidered with wh:’e or black linen floss. This needle work. which is in a bold design and ‘ ue In a close, solid stitch, runs from ’he inner to the outer edge of both i collar and cuffs, where the hem stitched border is very coarse and ef ! fective. The collars are five pointed and so extremely broad that one Van Dyke terminates at the center of the back, two Van Dykes fall over the top of the arm. and the remaining pair extend almost half way to the waist -me The cuffs have three sharp Van i Dy kes, a deep one running backw ard 1 to the elbow, and two shorter ones pointing toward the ihner^side of the arm. These coat sets are now worn with plainly tailored serges of dark ! hue, but they will be equally Fmart j looking with the tailored frocks in | white, gray or tan. Summer Luncheon Sets. For summer luncheon tables espe cially there are cream crash center piece. napkin and doily sets embroi dered in black and blue, black and red. or black and green. The pieces are all scalloped. For the Sick Room. To sweeten the air of a sick room for a patient w ho Is tired of the usual perfumes, burn a few drops of oil of sandalwood on a shovel. Eau de Co logne dropped on a hot shovel also elves a most agreeable odor. If per fumes are not at hand an admirable substitute may be found in camphor, a piece of which may be burned by the application of a hot poker. The strong smell of the camphor quickly disappears, taking with it all the close and disagreeable odors of the sick j room. Bonnets for Country. Little poke and country bonnets have bad a great success when made j in fine, silky straws which have a droll incongruity with their simplicity. They are trimmed with tiny flowers and broderie Anglaise. Some pretty hats of this variety are. however, made up in Valenciennes lace, while others, again, are covered with cre | tonne and flowered muslin. In short, ■ there Is in children's millinery the same range of choice aa there is in j our own. Ill THE PHIUPPIHES New Orleans Girl Spends Several Months on Islands. Writes of Her Trip on a Coastwise Boat and the Strange Menu Served to the Party in Picturesque Native Town. Manila. P. I.—“We were invited to spend several weeks in this province, and as it was likely to prove a novel ex perience, we came,” says Mrs. Marcia Dorothy Ryar, a New Orleans girl who spent several months In the Philip pines. "We took the coastwise boat, which below stairs was crammed with na tives, ponies, carabaos, vegetables, the inevitable figbting cocks (a native neg lects his family, but never his game cock), fish, smell and babies. "On the upper deck, however, be neath an awning, we were comfortable | enough in steamer chairs. "That evening we reached a native | town, very odd with its native straw huts on stilts, and its crazy streets with cats, strings of fish and children. Also cocks and cockpit—and the jungle behind it all. “There a banta, a clumsy, canoe shaped native boat, decidedly top heavy and uncomfortable, met us. It was paddled expertly by natives, pic turesque in their scanty attire, and , wearing at their belts knives quite j large enough to make me shudder. We arrived at the station to see a magnifi cent sunset and eat a unique dinner. On the menu were of course many familiar dishes, but besides there were fried bananas sliced crosswise, thin and crisp, tasting like eggplant, a cousin to the cucumber, roasted, a salad made from cocoanut buds with mayonnaise. I did not like it at all— I rice like popcorn, bamboo shoots, chicken with curry and a Jelly made i from flowers, which tasted like cur rants, also a drink of cocoanut milk, which is awful. "The house is a darling. It is large, native in style, of straw and bamboo r Negrite Warriors. floors, large rooms, sliding partitions j and shower bath in each room. Be hind is the jungle, before a fine stretch of lawn, a beach and the water. "That evening we sat on the wide gallery, in the usual steamer chairs, and listened to the plaintive native music from the barrio, where a dance was in full swing. “Our host has a charming, If lonely axistenoe. There are fifty native men in tho barrio, whom he oversees at their work. His household arrange ments are perfect, but it takes four boys and a cook to keep them so. It seems so funny to see a boy in pink knee pants, no shirt, but a dagger in his belt, serving chocolate, and excel lent chocolate at that. “The place is beautifully laid out; (he irrigation ditches are crossed by pretty bamboo bridges, all things lending themselves to the general ef fect. I saw coffee, bananas and pine apples growing for the first time, the latter a beautiful red while growing. You should see the wonderful orchids tnd ferns, some with fronds twelve feet long." SHE WEARS SNAKE NECKLACE Girl Wins Wager Consisting of 3t Pounds of Candy by Prome nading With Reptiles. Greeley, Colo.—Two four-foot bull ; snakes may be slightly more number j some and hideous to the multitude aa j | a necklace than chameleons or llz j ards, but Miss Bessie Potter, leadci ; in the younger society set, won 3C pounds of candy by wearing the unu sual neck adornment on the street. Miss Potter captured the reptiles on ! Wild Cat mountain, and in the pres- I ence of friends twined her new “pets' i about her neck. Her exhibition sug gested the wager. Six of the part* willingly offered five pounds of chdics candy to see Miss Potter promenade Ninth avenue carrying live snakes about her neck. “A soft bet,” declared the girl, whe without a second's hesitation, carried out the provisions. More than 500 stood aghast, and their willingness to keep at a “3afe* distance saved Miss Potter trouble in making her way. She returned home and put the reptiles in a box. Wind Carries Girl Ten Miles. O’Neil, Neb.—Torn from her fa ther's arms as he was carrying her tc a storm cellar, the ten-year-old daugh ter of L. G.

SATISFACTORY PASTURE FOR PREPARING HOGS FOR MARKET Rape is Excellent, as it Grows Quickly and Can be Sown Rather Late in Season—Cowpeas Also Furnish Good Feed—Pumpkins Cost but Little and are Valuable in Fall. This 80 and 90-cent corn that we have been feeding so far this summer to our fattening hogs makes some kind of a summer hog pasture abso lutely necessary if we are to raise pork at any profit. The ordinary stock pasture is only a very little better than no pasture at all for the hog that you are trying to put fat upon. I notice that while it undoubtedly keeps my hogs healthy and vigorous, yet the amount of exer cise they get on such pasture takes some fat off them. Rape is the most satisfactory hog pasture that I have been able to find, says a writer in Farm Progress. It grows quickly, and can be sown rather late in the season. The hogs wagon loads of pumpkins that will come in very handy when the first hogs are put in the fattening pens. The pumpkins that are grown down in the com field's shade will not be as big or as yellow as those that are grown at the edge of the field, but they will be more than worth the trouble of hauling them and feeding them. They help the hog, the shoat that is just being started on a heavy ration, over the period from pasture to grain feed. Where the com field is “hogged down.” as sometimes done, the pump kins scattered through it will serve as a fine change from the com itself, and will give the porkers something suc culent. Piled up in the barn sheds or Pigs in Rape Pasture. like It better than any slops or spe cials feeds you can prepare for them. It should be sown by itself, and the hog raiser who has a patch now grow ing considers himself fortunate. Last year 1 sowed an old orchard with rape late in April, and was sur prised to see it renew itself two or three times during the summer in spite of the dry season. I kept the hogs out of it till it was high enough to hide a rabbit, and they were unable to keep it down. If the hogs are full grown, it is good policy to keep them out of the rape patch till it is a foot in height. In case they eat it down •the hogs should be taken out of the field till the rape gets another growth. Cowpeas Sown at this time in the year should furnish very good late pasture for the hogs. Peas are not of so very much value to the hog till the pods are formed, and are beginning to ripen just a little. Then they are equal to any ration that has ever been devised. Rape sown at this time in the year will come on in plenty of time to make a splendid fall pasture for the hogs. It will serve to get them in the best possible condition for the heavy corn feeding that comes a little later in the year. It is not too late yet for the north ern farmer to plant pumpkins to be used as hog feed in the fall. This is a feed that can be raised at very little cost, and yet will prove very valuable in the autumn, especially when pastures are short. I always plant a large number of pumpkins in the corn fields at the time when the corn is "laid by.” Follow up this last cultivation by planting a few hundred pumpkins in hills, and you will have a good many i granery shelter, out of immediate danger of frost, the pumpkins will usually escape freezing till they are fed away. Fly Repeller for Cows. The Kansas Experiment station uses this preparation to keep flies off cows: Take 2 bars of common laundry soap and dissolve in warm water. To this add Its pounds of resin, crushed fine, or pulverized, *s pint of fish oil and water enough to make 3 gallons. When ready to use add ts pint of kerosene oil. Apply with brush or spray pump about three times a week until the hair becomes coated with resin when a fewer number of applications will be sufficient. The use of this will be better than fighting the cows while they fight the flies and it has the ad ditional merit of being cheap. The Discarded Vegetables. A variety of feed will stimulate the hen to her greatest egg production. The small potatoes and other vege tables that are not suitable for human food can be fed to the chicken to splendid advantage. If you feel like making their ration unusually appetiz ing just boil these up and mix enov.gh bran or shorts to make a com para .ive ly dry mash. In the Molting Season. Hens cannot lay and grow feathers at the same time. It has been said by some writers that their hens laid right through the molting season. This is not so. A hen can lay while she is shedding her coat, but when the work of growing the new feathers fully starts it requires all the food and strength to properly perform that function. WATER SUPPLY IS CONVENIENT For the dairy farm there is great need for convenient water supply for cooling milk, as well as for drinking. With a windmill the water can be pumped into the galvanized iron tank, as shown above. The overflow is car tied to a second tank, which is large enough to contain all the cans re quired. From this the water flows to the large watering tank, which may be situated some distance away. The illustration shows. a modem system GETTING FOWLS READY FOR FALL Pullets Should he Put by Them selves as They' Will Co Better and Grow Much Faster. As soon as the sex can be deter mined, it is well to put the pullets by themselves. They will grow faster and do better. In fact, they should be fed differently from the cockerels, for you will want to get them in shape for early egg production. Now, it is not well to force them prematurely into egg production, but It is best to get tffem in condition so that they will begin to lay during the fall. This is the harvest time, for it is then that you will get the highest prices paid for eggs. If you have a nice lot of pullets that are laying dur ing the fall and early winter, you will get splendid returns from them. These pullets, as soon as separated, should be given a clean house and kept free from lice. If you find when making the division that some ot them have lice, it should be well to powder them and put them all In a small horse, where you can attend to them before putting them in their regular quarters. Feed plenty of bran and beef scrap, and keep oyster shells be fore them. They will come along nicely when away from the annoyance of the cock erels. and after they have become used to their new home and see one another, they will grow like weeds, and soon look like mature birds. Pasture Was Lacking. Sometimes It isn’t the seller’s fault when te cow doesn't come up to ad vance notices. An old Quaker sold a cow and some time afterward the buy er complained she was not yielding the promised amount of milk. “Thee should have bought my pasture, too," was the Quaker’s significant reply. Keep the Young Stock. Some farmers stand in their own light by selling off the thrifty young stock that is worth just as much to them as to the buyer. Can’t Afford To.

According to figures contained In the annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes, su perintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitorium, the earnings of the ex patients of that institution during the year 1911 would amount to over $266, 000. This is a sum three times as large as that spent each year for main tenance of the institution, Including four per cent, interest and deprecia tion charges. Tbs actual earnings in 1911 of 170 ex-patients were obtained by Dr. Barnes. These ranged from $2 to $31 per week, the total earnings for the yea • amounting to $102,752. On this basis. Dr. Barnes computes the figures •<bove given. He says, however: “While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there is good reason for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far advances cases would be still better investments. Out of a total of 46,450 hospital days' treatment given, 39,147, or 84 per cent., were free, the treatment costing the state on an average $200 per patient. Out of 188 free cases in vestigated, 56 had no families and no income on admission to the Eanito rium. Out of 132 patients having homes, the number in the family aver aged 5.2, and the average family earn ings were $5.46. In 59 cases the fami lies had no income, and in only five cases were there any savings, none of which amounted to as much as $100. Pittsburg Chivalry. “What's going on here?-' demanded a man as he came upon two little boys battling in a vacant lot on the South side. The lad who was on top was rubbing weeds over the face of the un der one. “Stop it.” said the man. grabbing the victor by the neck and pulling him away. “What in the world are you trying to do to his face with those weeds?” "Do? Why, he swore in froit of some girls, and I rubbed some snart weed in his eyes to become a great man like Abraham Lincoln.”—Pitts burg Sun. Meeting Emergencies. Senator Dixon was condemning a piece of political deception. “The thing was as flagrant,” he said, “as the railway case. “Two men, one of them very short, were passing through a station toward the train gates when the bigger one was heard to say: " 'I've got a half ticket fur ye, George. Yer so little, ye’ll pass, ail right-’ ’’ 'But,' protested George, ‘how about my beard?’ And he twiddled his chin beard nervously. " ’Oh.’ rejoined the other, “tell ’em It's a mole.' ” Persuasion. “What made Mr. Chuggins buy an automobile?” “His wife persuaded him by calling his attention to the economy of hav ing gasoline on hand to clean gloves with.”—Washington Star. i A man seldom generates any steam with the money he burns. The Middle-Aged Woman. Of the many ways in which the mid dle-aged woman may vary the effect of her afternoon gowns none is sim pler than the use of a collar and cuffs of white voile edged with scalloping and embroidery in a floral design. An other change may be the frock set of white chiffon with border of black malines, and still another is the one of black net hemstitched with silver thread. Some of these collars are so long in front that they terminate only at the waist line, where they cross in surplice effect and are tucked away under the girdle. An excellent model of this sort is of light blue lawn em broidered with black dots, and a sec ond is of white agaric trimmed with tiny folds of broadcloth, alternating with eponge. The Giveaway. "Jane,” said her father, “ho< does it happen that I find four good cigars on the mantelpiece this morniLg? Did Henry leave them for me?” "No; he took them out of als vest pocket to avoid breaking them laBt night, and I guess he forg-*; all about them afterwards.” The laugh that followed made her wish that she had been as careful with her speech as Henry had been with his cigars.—Detroit Free Press. A Lottery. “Is that picture one of the old mas ters you were telling me about?” asked Mr. Cumrox. “Yes,” replied the an dealer. “It is a genuine treasure; absolutely authen tic." “I’H buy it. I already have three just like it, and somewhere in the bunch I’m liable to hit the original.” Her Affections Dampened. A little girl was playing at the table with her cup of water.
