h:ts sue. cuthuslns
tic praise us Its
lieautlful
and for
good leasou thnt s
every one of the n
American cities has
a galaxy of fair
ones of whom to be
proud.
As tho stars differ from each other In
glory, so do tho examples of feminine
loveliness with which this broad coun
try la sprinkled like a lirmanient. Kneli
section has its faces, like no others,
distinctive of its climate, life and ac
tivities; all have their beauties, who
are held up to the admiration of tho
woild as representative of their native
states. In a collection they would
make a congress of grace, beauty and
spiightllners that no other land can
eiiuai.
Herewith is presented distinctive
types of tho handsome women from four
quarters of tho country. Kaeh Is a rep
resentative beauty of the city from
which she halls and, what Is also to
the point, there aro characteristics of
nni.L ttMjt.l..a lwl. f.lnlfll nllllftfl t ll fl t
mny give prldo to tho plaau of her
birth.
New York concedes tho palm for
womanly graclousncss and beauty to
no other American city. A glance at
tho ideal typo herewith presented will
tell you why.
Miss Mario Churchill, who is now
being talked of as tho "new beauty"
of that city, made her debut last win
ter, but was first prominently noticed
nt Narragansett Pier last summer. At
the Tuxedo ball, a short time since,
and at the Horse Show she attracted
a great deal of attention. She Is nn
unusually tall girl, but so well propor
tioned tjiat her height does not make
her conspicuous nor ungraceful. Her
coloring Is dark, although not perfect
brunette, and her eyes seem to chango
in color as do eyes when tho pupil la
large, for sometimes they look bluo
and again black. Miss Churchill's
type of beauty Is not nn uncommon one
in America, but her coinploxlon is
more like that of an ICngllsh woman
an lnherltaance, probably, for Miss
Churchill's grandfather was Scotch.
She has a fine figure, and dresses well,
but looks best In evening dress, her
neck nnd arms being so beautifully
molded. As yet Miss Churchill has
not had her portrait painted, but it
is said she will shortly sit to one of
tho most fashlonnblo artists.
Chlcngo is boastful of many things,
but of her charming women she has a
right to bo. This will bo admitted
even by those who deny every other
claim the city puts forth. No city
makes a more gracious contribution to
the gallery of womanly beauty, and its
type will be recognized as of a distinc
tively American character.
Mrs. H. C. Chatlleld-Taylor Is ac
counted by many as the most beauti
ful woman In Chicago, and she cer
tainly Is one of the most accomplished.
She is the daughter of former United
States Senator Charles H. Harwell, ono
of tho merchant princes of the city,
nnd has been prominent In the best
society for many years. Mrs. Chatlleld-Taylor
lias traveled extensively,
nnd is now in the Orient with her hus
band and her sister, Mrs. Reginald Do
Koven, of Now York. She has tho ad
vantage of a superior education, and is
an entcrtnlnlng conversationalist.
Mrs. Cliatflold-Tnylor Is a brunette,
with abundant black hair, soft brown
eyes, a beautiful complexion, and n
faco thnt shows an urtlstle tempera
nient. She Is dovoteu to music, nier -
atiirc, nnd tho arts, and her husband,
who Is one of the best Known or west -

women than ;n St. Louis. Tho south-
western metropolis has reason to feel
entitled to a distinguished placo In any
gallery of womanly grace, for Its types
of loveliness neod no expression of

and speak for themselves. St. Louis

aco to Mr. Edward nice. Mrs. Rico

year one of the most colobtatod of all
the beauties of St. Louis, She Is tho
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otis
I'wing, whose home Is ono of the fash
ionable centers of the city. Miss Kw
Ing was educated at Sacred Heart con
vent, In St. Louis, and went afterward
to Massachusetts to complete her course
of study. Subsequently she made a
tour of Europe for n year with her
parents, and leturned to niako her
debut Inst season.
Her entrance Into society was made
the occasion of a hall, given by her

"Let the earth bring forth grass. iii?rh

During the past summer, hundreds

In the dry countries of Iowa tho

I have several pastures of flvo acres
to 200 acres. I keep no certain number
in each pasture, but change according
to season nnd tho amount of stock on
hand. Usunlly try to keep each kind
of stock by Itself, nnd chango about
so ns to glvo a variety of feed. Some
times have to keep horses, sheep and
cattle in same pastures, but think
horses and sheep do best, and cattle
with hogs If necessary to mix them.
Cattlo do not do well with sheep, nor
horses with hogs. Part of my pastures
aro wild grass, part aro fed into June
and blue-grass, ami part aro old tim
othy meadows run Into June grass.
Tamo pastures are black loam nnd
sandy with clay subsoil. Wild pastures
aro mucky loam. Often feed cows fod

tures near barns. Sometimes put barn

placo Is available. Like both trees and

Tho fourteenth annual convention of
tho Illinois Horticultural society was
held at Kankakee recently.
In reviewing tho fruit lists for
Illinois a discussion nroso on the pro
tection of fruit trees from rodents. Va
rious mothoils wcro advocated, among
them being fish oil nnd nxlo grease.
Thero was, however, danger ot using
these too much, especlnlly on young
trees. Instances wero given where
such treatment had resulted in tho
death of tho trees. Trees ten years old
would not bo harmed by tho treat
ment. An npplo grower said ho know
of nn orchard of 2.000 young trees thnt
had been killed by using too much nil.
Mr. Williams hml been using for
twelvo years a paint mndo of soap, tar,

trees with a common paint brush. It
makes a thorough glazo and will destroy

paint has tho tendency to protect from
suu-senh). Tho littlo limo In It, when
tho dry weather comes, turns tho mass
to a grayish color that throws off tho
rays of tho sun nnd thus keeps tho bark

It possible for tho soil to uso a greater

gardeners aro enahled to uso Immense
quautltlea of commercial fertilizers be
cause they ulso uso Immense quantities
of barnyard manure.
Mr. Morrill, of Michigan, spoke on the
marketing of fruit. The first requisite
Is to hao something desirable to mar
ket. He could not tell a man how to
market undesirable fruit. The great
necessity with farmers Is to learn how
to co-operate In the sale of goods, Tho
co-operative organizations hnvo largely
failed for tho reason that there seemed
n jealousy against any man being paid
to look after tho work. He believed
tho time to bo approaching when farm

Sulphur for Sheep. Tho American
Sheep Ilreodor says: Whllo sulphur Is
indispensable for sheep, us furnishing
one of tho Important clcmcuta of tho
fleece, It must be given In such a way
as to be uvnllahle for this purpose. It
must be In tho food. It cannot bo given
In the crude form, In which it Is not a
food, but an active medicine, producing
a Inxatlvo action on the bowels and an
excessivo excretion through the skin.
It Is this which makes it useful as an
nutldoto to nil kinds of parasites, the
sulphur thus passing through tho skin
being extremely offensive to all liu
sects. Hut its action on the skin is to
open the pores and thus niako tiio ani
mal moro subject to changes of the
weather, nnd especlnlly to Injury by
rains. It is thus not deslrablo to give
