Nobody thinks of jumping on a chair at the sight of this little mousie —in fact, one can siMn perfect calmness while he gambols on one's instep. For the mouse is really embroidered on the silken stocking. The embroidery Is done on the thread silk stocking with mouse-colored silk and the effect is very natural and rather startling at first glimpse. IN VELVETEEN AND CORDUROY Combination That Deserves the Popu larity Which It Has Been Un hesitatingly Accorded. Not every one can afford frocks of silk velvet, so velveteen was manu factured as a substitute. It is lovely, and gives practically the same effect as silk velvet when made up. Velve teen and corduroy are used to fashion many smart frocks for street wear. Plain colors are more frequently used for the velveteen models. They are effectively trimmed with fur, me tallic laces, Persian or tapestry em broidery. Velveteen does not adapt itself so successfully to draping as do the softer velvets, so the skirts are usual ly plain or with pleated insets. The bodices are jumper effects, with guimpes of lace or chiffon. Corduroys in the soft-finished qual ities are extensively used. Frocks and coat suits are develop ed of this material and seem to find a ready sale. The two-tone corduroys in brown and tan, blue and black and white are especially favored. In plain colors, dark blue, brown, black and burgundy are the shades more frequently used. BLOUSE This is a smart little blouse to be worn with a costume skirt. It is in soft chiffon taffetas, with embroidery on the shoulders, center front straps and cuffs. Two deep folds are made from the shoulders to waist each side. Materials required: 1% yards 42 inches wide. Evening Dresses. The Grecian draperies and oriental colorings strongly dominate the very exclusive evening dresses, says the Dry Goods Economist. Embossed vel vet patterns on chiffon cloth, on charmeuse, on satin or brought out on cloth of gold and silver are utilized. Metallic brocades, gold and silver tis sues, moire and plain cloth of gold and silver, as well as rich embroider ed fabrics, are represented in many of the most favored models. Rich laces are also in favor, particularly the finer varieties, such as Chantilly and Bohemian. Venise is used most ly as a finishing touch on velvet models. Extreme Effects. Some of the extreme panier effects Introduced this season suggest an or dinary sack combined with Turkish trousers. The pannier is slightly gathered into the waistband and falls between the knee and the ankle, over a plain narrow skirt; so that the full ness lays over it. This style is us ually carried out in the flowered Bilks or chiffon that suggests the modes of Louis XIV. MADE A DAINTY TEA TRAY __ Pretty Thing Evolved by Clever Girl in a Most Economical and Sim ple Manner. A novel and most economical way to make a pretty tea-tray was dis covered- by a girl who is very clever with her wits and her fingers. She first purchased for forty cents a large oval picture frame from a second hand store, securing a very good bit of natural old woodwork. Then with a bottle of stain, some sand-paper and a little varnish she polished up the wood to look like new, then screwed on two brass handles, one at each end, after wards cutting a piece of pretty cre tonne the same size as the glass, and pasting it smoothly where the picture would ordinarily go. Covering it with the boards that belong to the frame, tacked securely into place, the entire back then being covered with a piece of felt, when she found herself pos sessed of a most fetching tea-tray, which in the shops would cost from $5 to $S. To Prevent Flowers Drooping. The preservation of flowers is a point upon which most people are singularly ignorant, though it is real ly quite a simple matter. A little very fine invisible wire is the essen tial thing, and will preserve the nod ding beauty of the spray for many hours, when, if unmounted, the flow ers would droop and die. Roses in particular, need this support if they are to keep their grace for any length of time. The other important secret in preserving blooms is the question of water. The flowers to be worn at night should always be cut in the morning and put in water for the rest of the day, until It is time to wire and make up into the spray. Flowers cut in this way will last much better through the evening than those cut immediately before wearing. Care of the Skin. Before going to bed at night, sponge the face, neck and arms in a solution of cold salt water. You will find your self awakening in the morning with that desirable slight pink glow, which you so often see in the face of a child at this time. Another skin stim ulator is a small piece of ice, placed in a soft piece of linen and rubbed gently over the entire face and neck, care being taken to reach every part of the surface about the eyes and eye lids. This should not be done to ex cess: and afterward the face should be gently but thoroughly dried, and a little cold cream applied. All cream that the flesh has not absorbed should be removed, especially from the face that has a tendency toward being hirsute. Vogue of Moire. Moire is being used extensively for suits this fall, as well as for trim mings. There are several classes of moire, including the moire antique, the moire velours and the regence. The latter denotes the ribbed weaves as applied to the moires. The change able and chameleon effects are shown in the moires quite as often as the plain. The taffeta moire has a beau tiful but not, too sharply defined wa tery effect which makes it very desir able. This fabric has almost ousted the changeable taffeta. Fur in Neckwear. Among the distinctly new ideas In neckwear are the novelties in which tiny bands of fur are utilized on the collar portion and. in some instances, on the jabot, is the statement made in a recent issue of the Dry Goods Economist. Flowers for Pet Dogs. The flower notion has got around to the dogs; for the newest of dog collars is made of a circle of silk roses, and tints of pinkish yellow take precedence over other colors for them. MOST PROFITABLE SHEEP FOR AVERAGE MAN TO RAISE IS DUAL PURPOSE ANIMAL Wool Should Not Be Too Coarse or Excessively Fine, but Should Possess Something of Medium Quality — Superior of Mutton and Wool Most Desirable. (By L. C. REYNOLDS.) The best time to study the wool pro ducing quality of one’s flock is when the animals are sheared. As wool is being removed from the sheep time should be taken to remove a few fi bers of the fleece and note its quality. In every flock there is wide varia tion in the quality of the wool from different individuals, despite the fact that they were sired by the same ram and given practically the same care and feed. The average wool produc ing sheep of the double-deck type should shear at least twelve pounds of wool of good length and density. The wool should not be excessively fine nor, on the other hand, too coarse, but should possess something of medium quality. I have a number of indi viduals In my flock that annually shear from twelve to thirteen pounds of wool of the quality that always de mands the highest market price. These ewes are on the order of the j mutton breed, although they have i been bred for a number of years for ! both wool and mutton production. I am firmly of the opinion that the ! most profitable sheep for the average j farmer to raise in the future is the ; animal that will produce a high qual ! ity of both wool and mutton. In view Prize Mutton and Wool Sheep. of the fact that many of our flocks at the present time have been bred along mutton lines exclusively, I believe flock owners can well afford to give more attention to the wool producing ■ side of their flocks. For the past few years wool has been commanding a very high and uni form price. The mutton market is well established. To insure the greatest profit from the growing of sheep, eith or on the farm or Range, a superior grade of both wool and mutton must be marketed. There has been a decided improve ment in the sheep producing industry in the past few years along the line above considered, but I am fully aware there is plenty of room for consider able more along the line of combin tng both the wool and mutton quali ties. An Impression prevails in the north of England, says John Wrightson in London Live Stock Journal, that sheep never drink, and in this faith I was brought up. Water was always con sidered to be an important accessory in cattle pastures, but its absence was never looked upon as an objection to sheep runs. There is a breed known as "crag” sheep in Lancashire, which range over the extensive upland of the mountain limestone, that are said to require no water; but this does not strike a Northumbrian as very re markable as it fits in with his precon ceived notions. Mr. Primrose McConnell supports this view when he writes that “in his boyhood he had herded sheep and cows together in hot summer weather, and been struck by the cows constantly repairing to the water, while the sheep never went near it, and were never seen to drink at all, although they tad access to a running stream close at hand.” He adds that a northern shep herd would ridicule the idea of a sheep ever drinking unless it was in bad health. This opinion I can en dorse with slight modification, as my idea in the north of England was that sheep were practically independent of water. That this is also true to a certain extent in the south is shown by the practice of many good shepherds, who do not allow their ewes water during the period of gestation. There are circumstances in which this rule is not adhered to, but they constitute ex ceptions which may be said to prove the rule. To speak generally, It is a bad sign when a ewe drinks frequently, and indicates unsoundness in some form. The truth seems to be that as long as herbage is succulent, or is moistened with dew, or from rain from time to time, sheep do not require water. When ewes are fed on hay they should have water; and when they re ceive cake and hay together, and are not allowed roots, it is evident that the moisture of the body must be kept on. On the other hand, if they have access to roots they do not require wa ter, and this is one of the best rea sons for growing roots on high and dry situations. Again, the need of ewes which have to support lambs at foot are different to either dry sheep or pregnant ewes. They are called upon to supply a larger quantity of water in their milk, and they must be supplied either di rectly or through succulent food in or der to do so. ATTENTION NEEDED FOR WINTER PIGS To Raise Two Litters Annually One Must Not Allow Over stocking. (By Q. W. BROWN.) There is a decided difference in car ing for the pigs of autumn farrowing and those of the spring litters. On the average farm the latter have the ad vantage over the former of coming in previous to the advent of the spring grasses, and have a more generous supply of milk and other laxative food stuffs to keep them growing and in perfect order. It has been my practice for a num ber of years to raise two litters of pigs a year. To do this successfully I find that one must not allow overstocking, but rather should sell off a portion of the pigs soon after weaning time, keeping only so many as he knows he can accommodate with good quar ters and generous feeding. One must not slight pigs during cold weather either in housing or feeding. Besides dry nesting quarters the pigs should have a good-sized lot in which they may get plenty of exercise. Growing pigs should not be crowded into close, filthy quarters, exposed to vermin and disease. Our winter pigs are very profitably Ted upon whole corn in the fodder, as they delight in getting their feed from this material. I find that they eat very much of this fodder, w hich forms a fine diet. The cobs and the coarse stalks are raked up and burned fre quently, affording the pigs a generous supply of charcoal. I af{n to keep a cow for every litter winter pigs, and with the milk and milkstuffs I can grow a bunch of pigs equal to the spring litters. Floors for Hog Houses. Our experience is that wooden floors in the hog houses will produce rheumatism in the animals juA as quickly as cement floors if former are allowed to remain damp and the bed ding holds moisture, says a writer in an exchange. If the cement floors are kept clean and well littered with dry straw t.r other material frequently, rheumatism will not result. Better have a hole two feet wide at the top of the pen and a crack two inches wide at the bottom. It is the cold air blowing under the doors and around the pen that causes the great est discomfort. Profitable Hens. As a rule it is not profitable to keep hens after they are two years old unless they are of very valuable stock. Now Is a good time to mark those for disposal whose age be gins to affect them as egg pro ducers. Chickens to Kill. When disposing of some of the old stock pick out the poor layers. They are “just as good*-’ for roasting pur poses. and you cannot afford to part with the money makers. . PROPER FEEDS AND CARE FOR THE CALF Young Animal Must Have Exer cise and Freedom of Yard and Farm. (By J. C. FRY.) Feeding and raising the calf on skim-milk is not always an easy prop osition, but I have had very good success. The calf stays with the mother until the milk Is good to use; then it is given whole milk for three weeks; then it is gradually changed to skim-milk. The calf will soon learn to eat alfalfa hay. By putting a little corn chop in the bucket when the calf is through drinking it will soon learn to eat it. Corn will supply the fat that is taken out of the miik. The caif must have exercise and is al lowed the freedom of yard and farm. We have the best success with ibe fall and winter calves. Hay is better for the calf than grass. ROOTS ARE FINE FOR PRODUCTION OF MILK Make Valuable Addition to Ra tions During the Cold Win ter Months. No matter what some people tell you, turnips and other roots make fine milk-producing feed. Turnips will not affect the flavor of milk if fed at the right time. If turnips are fed in large quanti ties, and tvjo or three hours before milking, they are likely to give the milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed directly after milking no flavor what ever will be noticed. A peck of turnips to each animal per day is sufficient in most cases. A good plan is to feed directly after hay in the early morning, and once a day is often enough. Roots make a very valuable addition to the winter rations because they add to the variety of the feed and no animal on the farm appreciates va riety more than the dairy cow. Cleanliness and Ventilation. Clean pens, stalls, bedding, etc., and plenty of ventilation are important and without these things hogs are in such weak condition they are likely to take anything. Handling Lambs. There is a vast difference In han dling lambs intended for breeding and for the market. The first should be matured slowly In order t- produce good bone and stability, but the lat ter should be forced to put on fat as quickly as possible, as weight is the only thing that counts. Horses for Cuba. Cuban police officers recently bought a large number of fine horses In Missouri for the use of the mounted police of Cuba. Poor Girl. “How long have you been married?” “It will be six months next Thurs day." “And do you still regard’ your hus band as the most wonderful man who ever was bom?” Then the poor girl broke down, says the San Francisco Star, and sobbed piteously.

Last night when I asked him to get up and seo if there wasn’t a burglar In our room he bumped his nose against the edge of the open door and he said three sim ply awful words Just as if they came natural to him.” Education and Larger Life. It seems to me that the woman who cannot cut out a garment better be cause of her geometry and her draw ing lessons, who cannot speak English more distinctly and with fuller vocab ulary because of her study of French or German, who cannot find a hundred uses for her chemistry in the little everyday emergencies of her house keeping. has not succeeded in getting frdm her studies all that they had to give her.—Home Progress Magazine.
