Don’t truss him any time. ~It the tails are kept trimmed they will nos gather so much filth either. —Daring the moulting season feed the fowls plenty of good, sound feed. ~The richer the feed the more valuable the manure. Take good care of is. —Don’s let the udders get wooly this winter. Give a bair-cut occasionally. —A pitchfork is a mighty substitute fora 3 Plih to control i Kp with. —Mabe it’s your fault that the cow kioks. Don’s kick back until you know. —Corn should be fed at the evening feed ae it is very heating and slow in digesting. ~—Duacks should have dry quarters at night, notwithstanding their fondness for water. ~—Maybe the barn is shy on fresh air at this season. Fresh air is chean foul air is expensive. —How do you know thas cow you sold was worth only $35to you? Did you test her for a year? . —Hey there, man! The milking stool was not intended for a currycomb. Don’t you see how it takes all the bair off? —Don’t buy too large an incubator for the first attempt. One-bundred-egg size is oH batoh happens to bea ure. —In Holland horses are fed the follow- ing daily rations with greats success: Oats, 13 pounds; bay, 6.6 pounds; and straw, 8.8 pounde. —Say, Mister, your bran sack leaks. How quick you shop it! Bus say, Mister, you are wasting valuable maoure. Bat you don’t seem to care. —Grit must be bard and sharp to do the work of properly grinding up the food in the crop. Gravel, as a general thing, is not rough enough, and cracked oyster shell is too softs, —Give the hens oats to help out the hill of fare. If the oats are in she sheaf, so much the better. Threshing out a bundle of oats is good exercise for the hens ona cold morning. ~The farm Joule flock too often is composed of chiokens, ducks, geese, turkeys and pigeons, all living together as one com- mon family. That is a mistake. Each kind should have ite own quarters. ~The rutfng of pare bred stock of any kind is regarded by many people as simply a hobby. Some peopie say a mongrel is good enough for them. Is may be, but they are certainly blind to their bess in- terest. —QOklahoma is the only State which re- gnires the teaching of agricalture ic all country schools. oourses include agri- culture, horticulture, stook raising, fer- ioe, dairying, drainage, irrigation and ng. ¢ of agriculture at J ahingion has introduced a type of alfalfa from Peru, which is said to more rapidly than the ordinary kinds, etarts earlier in the spring, grows later in the autumn, and will stand more cold. —A of “The Record” asks: ‘“What ie the standard distance for planting coro?’’ The best results will be ri. in planting io drills about 3} feet apars, and eight inches apart in the drill. It is assumed that India corn is meant. —Eztra large specimens of vegetables are all right for exhibition purposes, and to win prizes with, but they are not what the av consumer wanés and is willing to pay freight on.

Widows Paid Pensions.—The idea of pensioning widows has steadily grown in Australia and it bas been found wiser for the state to the mother for the osre of ber children than to condemn ber to such em $ as would oaunse her to neglect she children. The following new scale of weekly allowances was authorized the recent Parliment and took affect 7, 1908 : For one child, $1.22 ; two children, $1.10 each ; three children, 97 cents each ; foor children 91 cents each ; Bore than four children, a maximam of It seems cnrious that those who are moss auxious so dress in conformity with the smartest women should so inconsistently fail to realize that a very widely-spread arrangement of hair is never correct, from this point of view. Is is certainly the fact that the bair is woin puffed ous above the brow and ears, bat this is in moderation among our fairest and best. The barmaid style does not ap- peal to them. As to the exaggerated ohignon of the moment, its version in the select circles of society is a silent rebuke to the atrocities seen on the heads of some of the most ambitious pretenders ; hair stand- ing out four or five inches beyond each ear, aud an ereotion in proportion above the forehead, and the whole filled in at the back with twists and switches of false hair. Stupendous! And she object of is all—to Jredunt a very smart appearance—is entire- y missed. m These edifices take some time to arrange. They are even costly—when the guantity of hair indigenous to the head is limited— and the result of the whole outlay of time, trouble and money as to defeat the ont- layer’s own end. The plaited skirts even in their new modifications are bardly practical for a dress which is epetially intended for home wear, hecause, even of light wools, they are apt to be cumbersome ; at any rate, more #0 than is necessary when there are so many other desigve. But the bias folds which have so faithfully served to trim those same plaited skirts still make satis. factory forms of decoration for the new gored skirts, For one thing, bands, facings, and pip- ings, however effective from a decorative standpoint, always give an ensemble of simplicity, and that in all dresses for at- home wear, whether for morning or after. noon, is a particularly necessary charaoter- . When one looks into the windows and on the counters of the shops these days it ie bard to helieve in the oid adage that ‘‘there is nothing new under the san,” for the display of materials is «0 varied in texture, coloring and desigh that they are equally bewildering and bewitching. For range of weight avd colors nothing hen | €xceeds the pongees—they are shown from the heaviest shantung to the very fine weave, cailed Salome pongee. One of the new fabrics (a little on the pongee order) is shown under the name of ‘‘Chinese Silk Linen.” The name would suggest a mix- ture of silk and linen, kat it is pure silk, which in its raw state is called by the Chinese ‘‘Flying Silk’’ owing to its ex- tremely light quality. The dyeing process, however, adds to its weight and leaves it with a finish something on the order of linen—hence its name. It comes in most beautiful coloriugs, and will no doubt be one of the favored materials for summer gowns. La Tosca silk is another great favorite, and can be obtained in all the new colors—and promises to he much used for long coats as well as one-piece frooks. The new coral red in this material is al. ready mach in demand, and we would ad- vise an wo in order to secure the fashionable. The new soft wool challis are also worthy of wension—some of the d and colors are really heautifal, and especi- ally fetching and inexpensive house gowns and negligees are made from same. A great many women suffer, quite liter- ally, under the delusion that their feet cannot look trim and neat unless their are a size too small for them. This is absolately a mistake. If the shoe is too short or wo parrow it will not only be painfully uncomfortable, but it will bulge out at the sides and wear into an ugly shape. It should be at least half an inch longer than the foot. The foot also looks far better ina rea- sonably long hoot or shoe, because it k its longer and takes away from the width of the foot. One should try on shoes in the svening if posible. The foot is always iarger at this time. And finally there is that old and .excel- . | lent advice ; Have at least two pairs of shoes to wear alternately. It not only rests the feet, but it actually keeps the P | shoes in a much better condition. Parisian women are wearing huge shawls like those of 60 years ago. For Making Sheets.—An easy method of marking sheets is to get name or initial tape, which can he purchased hy the hols, and sew the name on one of the bemsat the lefs corner. This is an inexpensive way of mark- ing articles to he sent to the laundry. The red or blae letters do nos fade, and undoubtedly the embroidered letters are more presentable than the ink laundry Evening Footwear.—The latest fad for evening footwear is slippers of gold or sil- ver with flesh colored silk stockings. Slijers to mateh she sulor of the gown are stil! much worn, with self-tone silk stock. ings elaboralely embroidered, some hei even studded with tiny pearls or jet beads. Simple Cream Whip.—Wlip one pins of thick cream to asolid froth. Cut apricot or other marmalade ; spread it in layers in a glass dish with macaroons dip. in fruit juice or syrup between each yer.

Editor Watchman : Some of your readers who ‘took in’’ the varions State buildings at the Chicago World's Fair, may remember the banner across the front of the Iowa building. Of course it was State ‘‘gush.’”” It read, “Iowa, the Brightest Star in the American Constellation.” In recent copies of the WarcaMaAN for- warded to me, I read with much interest Mr. Baker's articles on this State. It is possible I may not see everything just as be does. If so, you will pardon me, I hope. A strange thing to myself is, that in all my travels in the State, I have never met an old time acquaintance, and shie leads me to a digression. One day when I step- ped into a store in the town of Dawson, in North Dakota, I noticed a gray haired man eyeing me sharply. Io a few moments he spoke to me and called me by name, and asked me if he was mistaken. I told bim thas he was righs, and asked him who he was. He told me, and then he asked me if I remembered the time I ‘licked’ him for fighting, whe he went to school to me at the old Lanvimore school house. That was in the winter of 1856, and we bad not seen each other since. I vividly remember my first sighs of the Mississippi river, in October, 1867, when I orossed it on the long wooden bridge, to Clinton, the Williamsport of Iowa. I re- member that when we passed Mounts Ver- noo I did not hear the tolling steamboat bel! as wedo on the Potomac when we pass Mognt Vernon. At Cedar Rapids I first saw a party of Indians, aod at Tamo City got my first sight of a buffalo, in a pen. As that time Fort Dodge was a frontier village, and Council Bluffs an Indian trad- ing post. The State is peculiarly situated hetween the two great rivers, aud may be called one vast prairie and is said to have asmall- er percentage of untillable land than any other State. No noted historical event attended its settlement. It became a State quietly and peacefally, and bas continued so ever since —very unlike Kansas, whiob shook the na- tion aud attracted the attention of the whole civilized world because of the issue involved. The State is noted for the many medium sized cities, and the total ahsence of any very large city, unless youn call Des Moines such. Is is also noted for the siow growth in population—in fact some say it is deoreas- ing. Io earlier years it was a great wheat pro- ducing State, but now it is away in the background. As a corn, oats, barley, flax, grass and hay producing State it has forg- ed ahead, and so in live stock raising. There isa perfeot network of railways, aud they neatly all run to Chicago. / Des Moines, the capital, is the largest city in the State, and is the commercial and also the political centre. Some claim it is quite a railway centre, but I cannot see it tbat way. I do not know of hut one great trunk line thas passes through the city— the Rock Island. Of course there are “‘plugs’’ out to main lines. Instead of one grand Union Station, there are three second olass de- pots. One thing that struck me favorably is that all street cars pass by the doors of the Union Station, eo that you kaow just where to find a car to any part of the oity. The backmen and baggage haulers have » steady pionio between depots to the cost of the traveler. The street railway has a general waiting room from which all cars stars. It is a disgrace to the city,—an old ramshackle at- fair. As for hotels they are far below what they should be. The churches are certain. ly oreditable, and something a little un- usnal, there are quite a number of them close together. The Y. M. C. A. bas a fine large brick building nearing completion, that beats anything of its kind thas I have seen for years. Drake University and also Highland Park College, each with their professional schools, and numerous other Higher schools all well supported, are doing a noble work. I bave looked at the squatty thing called the court house, and wondered what they took for a pattern. It reminds me of pio- tares I bave seen of Fort Sumter, aud as for the court rooms, none are equal to the one in Bellefonte. The capitol is a right nice little building —{ar short of what is should be for such a State. It is no comparison to some that I bave seen. I measure things by compari- son. From my viewpoint, the prettiest thiog in it is the large painting at the head of the grand stairway. AsI now remember, it represents pioneers entering the territory or State in their prairie schooners. They bave stopped to take a meal—a listle girl is gathering a hounguet of wild fiowers—the DR | dog bas scared up a bird. I did not ask anybody to tell me the leg- end of the painting, but I thought of Berkeley's line. . “Westward the star of Empire takes its way.” Then too, I thought of a verse in Whit- tier’s poem of the Emigrants— *“We cross the prairis, as of old The pligrim’s crossed the sea, To make the West, as they the East. The homestead of the free.” Off qaite a distance, on a commons, stands a lone, forsaken looking but mag- pificent monument by the women of Iowa to the memory of the State's heroes of ‘Lu rebellion. To me it looks, where it stands, just about like the Curtin statne would look ous in Lanvertown. Des Moines has one metropolitan morn- ing daily newspaper, called the Register and Leader. Is also issues an evening pa. per called the Tribune. There are alsc two firss class evening pa- pers besides above named, and many small. er papers. Singularly, such 3 city has no Demooras- io paper. Several have been started but all bave starved out. They have what they call the “mulch law” in this State, to regulate the liguor traffic. I think it a most infamous way of “whipping the devil around the stamp.” Fort Dodge, Towa. if Women Only Kaew what Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has done and is doing every day, in healing female complaints and related diseases, they would not endure for another hour the disabilities imposed on them by disease.
