There is no reason why the farmer and his family should not enjoy the possession of an at- tractive door yard, since every facility is at hand for grading, planting and keeping a pretty lawn. The dwelling should, if possi- ble be located on a slightly elevated knoll, but often the site has already been selected and the building erected in which case it may be necessary to grade to the desired elevation. One cannot endure a low sloppy door yard, hence the ground immediately around the house shonld be higher than at the outer edge of the yard. Early spring is the best time to sow the grass seed. Ken- sucky blue grass is a general favorite for lawns. This should be very thickly sown to produce a mat the first season. If, how- ever, one succeeds in getting a fair, even stand, he need have no concern regarding the lack of density as this grass thickens ap from year to year. In arranging the lawn. have very few shrabs or trees in the center. There should be planted at the outer edge, preferably at the rear aud sides of the building. Do not obscure the view from the roadway. If there are unsightly buildings a screen of vines run on a wire trellis will be found effectual in hiding them from the occupants of the dwelling as well as from passers. A very pretty ef- fect may be had by planting a few beds of profuse bloomers of different colors very near the house, at the ends or side of the porch or around the bay window. Pro- vision may be made to have these beds in bloom from early spring to late autumn, by using bulbs for early spring blooming, an- nuals for summer and chrysanthemums, cosmos and other autumn blooming plants. Their beauty is enhanced by the greenery about them.—C. B. Barrett, in Epitomist. Select Good Cows Only.—It is just as essential to keep good cows as any other animal. Noman can afford to keep poor cows, and especially the poor man. If a rich man wants to waste his money in poor cows it is not quite so bad. but a poor man must know better, or he cannot expect much profit. In order to make headway the poor man must keep animals and use feed that will make the largest profit. You cannot afford to keep a single cow that does not make you a profit. Be practical and business like and apply the only sure test. Keep a book in which to enter on one side all milk, cream and butter, whether con- sumed by the family or sold. They are worth in your family exactly what you would have to pay for them if you bad no cows. On the other side enter the feed consumed, whether purchased or raised on your farm. The hay or corn fed is worth on your farm the market price, less cost of delivering to market. This test, even if conducted for a short time, will show you facts and not what you guess about it. Some people refuse to spend money for the best feed for their cows. This is poor economy, because it is simply an invest- ment which will bring geod returns. In selecting choice dairy cows; if the richest milk is wanted, keep the Jerseys; if hoth butter and milk are wanted keep the Ayre- shire, hut if large quantity of milk is want- ed for the manufacture of cheese, then the Holstein must have first place. But, how- ever, in either case always select the best. Suppose you pay $30 for a poor cow and come out even at the end of year. Suppose you pay $60 for a first class cow, and at the end of the year she can show you a profit of $30. 1f you keep cows for profit juss figure this over carefully. It requires just as good husiness qhialities to be a snc- cessful dairyman as it does to be success- ful in any other business. If you don’t think so you had better quit the business. —E. L. Morris, in Epitomist. How do Your Cows Look.—Coming to- ward summer now, and it 18 a fair ques- tion for every farmer to ask himself how his cows look about this time of the vear. Are they loaded down with filth that has been accumulating all winter ? Too late to help that much, now, but mark it down that another season you will begin in the fall and carry your cows every day just as regularly as you do your horses. But one thing yon can do even now along this line; you can brush the cows off at least once a day, using an old horse curry comb and brush. This will relieve the cows when the hair is beginning to come out and make them feel better, saying nothing about the difference in looks. And then, you can feed better than you have been doing. It will add many dol- lars to your account before next winter to have all the cows go out of the barn in the best condition. The cow that is all run- down, so that you can see her ribs about as far as yon can see her, cannot do anything much for youn for the first - monthor two after she goes to pasture. She is too busy gathering up lost flesh and strength. Still farther, youn can watch your cows more carefully now than at any other season of the year. The time of coming into new milk is a most important one. Some cows arespoiled for the season by neglect at this critical period. So watch and care for the cow now as at no other time of the year.-—Farm Journal. The Value of Trees.—In many parts of our country farming would be impossible but for the trees, such is their influence upon the streams. They regulate the wa- ter-supply and their tendency is to prevent hoth floods and droughts; they supply fuel, one of the greatest necessities of life, and they furnish the lumber for the build- ing of our cities, railroads, ships, and a thousand other things without which our present state of civilization would not have been possible for ages, if at all. This is why we should be careful of our forests, which are fast dwindling away in many sections; this is why we should legislate against sheep grazing in the forests, and against all other practices which tend to cause forest fires, and why we should try to protect our trees from their natural ene- mies, such as landslides, floods, insects and fungi. And it is well to bear in mind the fact that we cannot replace in filty years a tree which we can destroy in an hour. —April Woman’s Home Companion. —The destruction of weeds by means of spraying seems to be a possibility of the future, says New York Farmer. Las: year those who used five pounds of blue vitriol in a hundred gallons of water were quite successful in killing wild mustard, spray- ing when the plants were flat just before the stalks began to shoot up. It would appear that six to eight pounds of vitriol to a hundred gallons of water would be still more effective. * —The brood sow should receive carefully selected food containing the full maximum of nusritiveness and given up to the full limit of ber digestive powers.—Farmer’s Advocate. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Some brilliant shades of red are new this season. Pale coral red is excellent in taffeta or louisine, especially when used in bias bands or for disks in trimming a dress. Strawberry-color, a fall rich tint, is superb in velvet or silk, and is positively dazzling in the finer linens. A cerise or cherry-colored linen looks quite good enough to eat. Make it up in a shirt waist for your brunette daughter and relieve the joyous intensity of color by a black silk sailor's necktie beneath the chin. The new ‘‘hun’’ style of hair arrange- ment for children has brought in a very pretty ribbon fad. Two rosettes of looped ribbon are joined by a short ribbon strap. The rosettes placed at either side of the “bun’® and the strap connecting them serving to keep the arrangement firm and tidy adds the touch of novelty that is usually forthcoming for the demoiselle at this season. - Stiffenings are getting very stiffi—in body, not in price. Crinolines of all weights and kinds are seen. They range from 8 to 12} cents a yard, and are to be Lad in black, white and slate color. The shrunk linen crinoline for interlining jack- ets and skirts comes in white, black and patural color, at twenty cents the yard. For underlining there is linen scrim at 12} cents the yard. A distinctive feature of the up-to-date masculine costume for the summer of 1904 is to be the cowhide belt. It is narrow, not more than one and a- half inches wide, and is made of cowhide with the bair on. The irregular brown and white colorings are odd and striking. Also a fad of the season is the handker- chief in colored effects to match the shirt worn, whatever that may be. These come both in linen and silk, prices ranging from $1 up. The self-color shades included are light blue, heliotrope, pale green, very deep pink and champagne. Equally expensive, though perhaps in better taste, are fine white handkerchiefs, hemstitched and having a border ef fine cords forming pleads. Have your shirt waists made with sleeves that are of sensible proportions, finished with a neat cuff and the entire garment constructed on the neat, sensible lines that brought this very useful bit of feminine apparel to a state of perfection several years ago. A DAILY THOUGHT. Every individual has a place to fill in the world and is important in some respect, whether he chooses to be so or not.—Haw- thorne. Why should girls dread housework? Every worthy woman in the world under- stands housework, which is important and the mark of a capable, useful woman. Every man who suczeeds iu the world un- derstands his trade. Every woman should understand hers. If there is any work in the world that is dignified and respectable, says the Atchison Globe, it is housework. A good housekeeper is nearly always a suc- cessful, useful woman, a woman who is re- spected. CLOTHES FOR THE FAIR. If you contemplate a trip to the World's Fair, maids and matrons, don’t worry your heads about an extensive wardrobe, for you will not need it—a silk shirtwaist suit will be a constant joy, and with an odd skirt of walking length, a light-weight jacket and a balf dozen white shirt waists and stock accompaniments you can keep up appearances and be quite comfortable and happy. This, of course, is providing you have with you boots that are old fa- miliare, for you will find your feet have grown more tender than your conscience after a day on the grounds. Hats, too that the sun will have no effect on should also be selected for the trip, and a liberal supply of cold cream will come in handy after a day in the sun. One evening gown will suffice if you bave social affairs in mind, for you’ll be too tired to bother about clothes. One pretty little woman who is very fond of changing her gowns on the slightest pretext exclaimed with a tired sigh ‘Twenty-four gowns did I pack for this port and I’ve only bad on four since I came three days ago.”” Moral—Leave your ‘‘clothes’’ at home and bring sensible togs. LACE LOOKS WELL. Sheer fabrics and good lace always look well in photographs if nicely arranged. Where possible a low-necked dress shonld be chosen, if one is not too thin, since the lines of the neck and throat are almost the prettiest part of many photographs, says a writer in the Housekeeper. Where one does not care to wear a regulation evening dress, having one just slightly open at the throat is infinitely preferable to a high stock collar. A chiffon or mouseline de soi fichu is as artistic a thing as one can unless one be fortunate enough to have some delicate piece of old lace which can he arranged in somewhat similar lines, Some faces look more attractive when framed, as it were, by a large picture hat (ordinary hats are generally a mistake in photo- graphs) and this, in combination with a Jow-necked dress, is not against the can- nons of good taste, though it might easily be so if the wrong kind of bat were used. An opera cloak edged with something light and fluffy is pretty thrown loosely over the shoulders, especially if one prefers not to have too much of the neck and shoulders showing. THE QUESTION OF THE HAIR. Arranging the bair becomingly, so as to avoid any bard lines where it touches the face, is very important. The style of bring- ing a solid mass of hair low over the fore- head is one that needs the most careful treatment in the world to prevent its ruin- ing the picture. Indeed, it is well to avoid’ extreme styles (which are always ephemeral and look almost vulgar when they are no longer fashionable) in a photograph—not only of dressing the hair, but in what one wears to he photographed in. This is, of course, especially import- ant in a fall length portrait, for, although we all ges to like what is fashionable, how- ever outrageous we first thought it, an ex- aggerated protuberance in sleeve, bustle or any lines which are not those of the natural figure, become distasteful later on, and we feel inclined to burn up the photograph when we see it in our friends’ houses. Generally speaking, dark dresses should be avoided in having one’s picture taken. Red, especially, is a bad color to choose, as it comes out intensely black. Even for old ladies it looks much better to have some- thing light and soft folded about the neck and shoulders. Bind and Beat Aged Woman; Fire House, Altcona Thieves Brave Daylight in Committing Crime—S8on Saves Mother Fron. Flames. With the evident belief that they were going to rob a wealthy woman two thieves committed a most daring crime in the heart of Altoona in broad daylight Friday after noon. The men rapped on the back door of the home of Mrs. Barbara Young, an aged woman, and asked if she had rooms to rent. Telling them she had none, the woman turned to get an address where they could be accommodated. Just then the visitors stepped into the house, one locking the door and the other drawing a revolver. They demanded money, but the aged woman insisted that she had none. ‘*We’ll soon see,’’ said the men. After ransacking the first floor they or- dered Mrs. Young to go to the second floor. Reaching the ball she started to run. They overtook her, tearing away her clothing and brandishing a revolver in her face, and carried her back to the sitting room, where she was tied to a rocking chair. After this they struck the defenseless woman a terrible blow render- ing her unconscious. The house was then searched from top to bottom and the woman’s little earnings of $18, saved from keeping lodgers, was found. Angered at not securing a larger sum the men set fire to two beds, one on the second and the other on the third floor. *‘Mrs. Young had, meanwhile, recovered and the robbers beat her into unconscious- ness once more and left her to perish in the flames. The driver of a wagon noticed flames coming from the house and turned in a fire alarm. The first company on the scene was the one having with it the woman’s son, who is a fireman. He found his moth- er and carried her through the smoke to safety. The fire was then extinguished. Mrs. Young is in a serious condition but will recover. The theives escaped.
