COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular.
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

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

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

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

Greeley, Colo.—Two four-foot bull ;
snakes may be slightly more number

ards, but Miss Bessie Potter, leadci
; in the younger society set, won 3C
pounds of candy by wearing the unu

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.

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.

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es
tablishment of Sanitoriums for
the Tuberculosis.
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

weeds?”

Senator Dixon was condemning a
piece of political deception.
“The thing was as flagrant,” he said,

was heard to say:
" 'I've got a half ticket fur ye,

The Middle-Aged Woman.
Of the many ways in which the mid

of her afternoon gowns none is sim

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
