FARM NOTES. —The wool crop is one of the surest on the farm. —The best wool is on the back, the poorest on the belly. —Quality, quantity and density are im- portant factors in the fleece. —Evenness of wool depends upon even- ness of condition of the sheep. —Wean the lambs when they are three and a half to four months old. —Usually in long wooled sheep size is easier maintained than quality. —By the time a sheep is one year old its value can generally be determined. —A good fleece should be as nearly uniform in all its parts as is practicable. —The urine of sheep is equal to the | solid excrement as a fertilizing material. —When too dry wool is harsh to the feel and brittle and loses its natural soft- nes and curl. —Early maturity is advantageous to the breeder and feeder of sheep as any other stockman. —One advantage with sheep is that they need the care where there is plenty | of time to give it. —A healthy, growthy condition of the’ system is shown by the bright oily condi- | tion of the fleece. —At weaning time the best opportun- ity is given for determining the value of the breeding ewes. —With a breeding fleck a certain num- ber of young sheep must be kept to take | the place of the older ones. i —Yolk in the wool has no value except | to soften it and preserve the fibre and! an excess is a fault not a value. ~The profits from a flock of sheep, de- pends more upon the quality and quanti- ty of the food than upon the breed. —While there is a great advantage in feeding blooded stock and profits of the, flock A a Segway as much on the care as on the bl Set, ielding as they do a return from bot Rees and flesh, bring in cash twice a year and at a time when it comes very acceptable to the farmer. —Feed has more todo with the early breeding tendency than breed. Ewes gaining in flesh take the ram at any time of the year when not suckling lambs. —Cement floors are best for feeding purposes, but it is our belief that a should always sleep on a board floor Sex plenty of clean ing. —While sheep will get more susten- ance from poor land and at the same time do the land more good than any other stock it must not be forgotten that they will also repay liberal feeding. —The ram should have a good form and a good fleece even if he is not as large as one might wish. In other words a small ram of good form and fleece is better than a large one without these characteristics. —The sheep business should not be in for a short period and then abandoned for some other speculative business, but with a desire and deter- mination to succeed through the exer- cise of patience, perseverance and skill. —A flock of sheep that is given the same attention that is best on other stock, and kept as a business venture, will pay a larger profit for capital invest- ed than any other class of stock, but sheep pay best when bred for mutton as well as wool. —All atte do pol Hake a profit : keeping s some fail to get a profit Ei ii they have an idea that sheep will take care of themselves and so give them little attention, others because they undertake to handle too large a number, and others because in one way or the other, they get hold of the business by the wrong end. —Among the greatest natural resources | of the United States, our native nut-bear- | ing trees occupy a place of no mean im- | , but they have been treated like other natural resources of the country— | exploited, wasted and destroyed until the outcome is getting to be alarming. | fine Our fertile lands have been robbed of their productivity by the one-crop sys- | tem; the forests have been cut down for the best timber and no provision made for a future supply. The walnut, chestnut and the hick- ory, also the pecan have fallen before the | woodsman’s axe, with their fellows, the ! elm, ash and oak—in the effort to make ' room for more grain crops, cotton and tobacco. of acres of valuable timber and nut trees have been destroyed in this manner, in many places it will be generations before the average yield per acre will again attain unto that which roy But it is too late to grieve over the past, but it is not too late to quit the wasteful habits, to begin to repair the done and save and im- prove that which is left. The black walnut, the most valuabie tree in the world for its timber, which is used in the manufacture of the finest furniture and cabinet making, bears a large, oily nut of fine flavor which finds a ready sale at a fair price. The shell bark is another na- tive tree of sturdy and lofty growth, the wood of which on account of its great | a brightly colored umbrella to match the FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN DAILY THOUGHT. For God hath marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay. For all His children suffer here. ~Bryant The gloom of wet autumn days will be dispelled by the sight of rain beating down on umbrellas in all the colors of the rain- bow. At the premises of a leading West End firm, it was stated recently that the fash- ionable woman is now expected to carry an umbrella which, if it does not actually match her costume, at any rate har- monizes with its color scheme. “The umbrella now plays as important a part in the autumn toilette as does the parasol in summer,” it was explained, “which means that from being merely useful it has become ornamental as well. “The great advantage of this innovation is that it saves the smart woman from ever getting caught inthe rain, for what- ever costume she is wearing she will carry an appropriate umbrella with it. bi black silk umbrella is, of course, always useful, and will not go out of fashion, but it certainly does not give finish to a toilette, and that is why it is so frequently forgotten or deliberately left at home. “The colored umbrella is made of strong, durable silk, and may be had in every shade. A very effective scheme is colored buttons or a narrow piping on a somber costume.” One of the most notable features of the | own today is the huge single revers. | makers seem never to be wearied of this particular scheme, and the majority | of the new frocks for the coming season : show it in some form or another. Even with the dresses of cloth or serge the | revers is more often than not carried out | | in chiffon or ninon, hemstitched all round | the edge, two layers of the ninon in dif- | ferent shades bringing a very smart and | | attractive note into the gown. Very short tunics are shown on many | i of the new dresses. The effect is of a double skirt, which is coming decidedly into favor. Flat ruches of pleated tulle in black | and white are placed on the crowns of ' many velvet oval-shaped hats. Cluny and the heavy macrame laces are in great favor and may be said to prac- tically lead the new lace vogue. ! Men's fall and winter fashions contem- plate padded shoulders, narrow trousers and a general slender effect insofar as it can be accomplished. The favorite hour for a formal dinner is either half-past seven or eight o'clock. | Less formal dinners are usually served at | seven o'clock. te question of the hour | should depend upon the customs of the | town in which one lives, upon the con- | venience of the guests or possibly upon , the hours of the trains, if one lives out of , town. | — i Chic Kerchiefs. — Very small hand- kerchiefs of colored silk with a hem- stitched border are sold to wear in the breast focket of one’s rough morning coat. e color scheme of the costume can be carried out by this small touch in | a most effective manner, and the idea has been taken up by the Americans who are now in Paris. Separate guimpes made of all the new laces as well as plain white Alencon tulle and dotted with net are sold for small prices to wear with gowns that are cut out at the neck, for the Frenchwoman does not approve of going in the street without her neck covered. These guimpes have long bones that run down each shouider and the back to a point where they are covered by the frock. They are cut with an armhole, across the lower rt of which is an elastic band which olds the material in position. For tailored suit wear, for mornings, shopping occasions and general work, | the always popular capeskin in the pretty Both Telephones 56:27-y autumn tans will be the glove she will adopt. For the afternoons, however, and the evening, she will divide her choice—for the soft, velvet-like suedes will be almost as fashionable as the smooth-finished and fi French kidskins. Plain white, of course, will be very greatly worn, but pale tans—biscuit, champagne, delicate mode, pearl gray and the creamy yellows will also come in for a due share of at- tention. The woman who wore her coat mod- erately short last winter will be thankful that was not persuaded to have it cut very short about the hips, for in that large lines at any case she would be utterly passe this sea- son. ! The newest coats may be more than 30 inches long, perhaps 32 inches in length, | while some of them are cut only 28 inch- es long; if shorter than that, they are de- | cidedly out of fashion. t There is but one way to remedy the! short hip-length coat to bring it up to this year's standard, and that is to add a of very wide silk braid around the Select a braid the color of the cloth, line it with cloth or some dark lining and bring the satin lining of the coat down to the lower edge of the braid. When this is done the braid should be $0 appear after a period of 5 another way to re- 8 coat to fit the needs the coming season. little clever manipulating, the coat can be turned into a smart bo- E The Vitality of Seeds. While many seeds possess extraordinary vitality, stories of the length of time cer- tain of them have preserved that vitality must in many cases be doubted. The tale of "mummy wheat” sprouting after having lain dormant in Egyptian tombs for thousands of years is an improbable one. No well-authenticated instances of such finds are extant. : The length of time seeds will preserve their vitality differs astonishingly in dif- ferent plants. The seeds of the willow, for instance, will not germinate after having been once dry, and their ger- minating power is lost in two weeks even if during that interval they have been kept fresh. The seeds of coffee do not germinate after havi considerable length o wheat lose their power and a lapse of seven years, though wheat two centuries old has been quite capable of being used for food. : Plants frequently appear in old ground that has been trenched and in places where they have never previously been seen; and to this may be added the pe- culiar fact that when fires have passed over localities, apparently destroying all been kept for any | time. Grains of h after line of such fires. Officials of the For- | estry Bureau state that when an Ameri- can forest has suffered the ravages of fire the trees that take the places of the burned ones are often of a different spe- cies from those hithertc seen in that n made. : undeniable circumstances have given rise to the theory that seeds may lie for long periods dormant and come to life only when some strong stimulus come to the WATCHMAN office.
