Summer Finery
THE happy possessor of a touring
car, or the happier occupant of
one, who regularly takes the air
in someone's else touring car, presents
herself these days in a bonnet and a
protecting coat which fastens into a
"coat-dress." This garment is of pon
gee or linen, wery practical, dainty and
a protection against the du3t from
collar to hen. It is shaped in such
a variety of ways that one may choose
from among the pattern books the
most becoming style. The simplest
lines remain the best and the coat
dress should be plain. Brilliantine,
of the washable variety, is another
choice in fabrics, where the wearer
has reason to wish to get something
other than pongee or linen.
The bonnet is made of Madagascar
cloth on a supporting veil frame and
does not crush the hair. The crown
is made of an oblong piece folded in
and the bonnet is finish d about the
face with shirred taffeta tilk. Ties of
the taffeta, made from piece-silk, are
fringed out at the ends and hemmed
at the sides. The frames which sup
port these bonnets hardly deserve the
name, for there is so little to them.
The cloth is a wiry fabric which
needs little help to retain it in place.
But the bonnet is designed to be cool
and tho wire supports are made to
that end. It must not set too close to
the head. These pretty head pieces
look very simple and they are—as
simple as a sunbonnet—which is not
so easy to make successfully, as its
appearance might indicate. Wash
Bilk or suede-lisle gloves enable the'
autolst to be always daintily gloved;
if several pairs are provided clean
gloves are always on call, for they may
be washed and dried over night.
It takes a very great beauty indeed
to appear at once charming and '
"blowsy." This summer's auto clothes j

are the most practical we have had.
The roomy coat-dress is complete and
covers up a multitude of well pro
tected finery, or maybe a kimona —
no one can tell which, until the gar
ment is taken off.
livery one who possesses & lace
coat or a scarf or a shawl is making
the most of many opportunities. What
with tunics, stoles, overskirts and all
sorts of draperies, and the universal
use of lace, every good old piece Is
having an airing. This is likely to
continue for, if the shadows that are
cast before are in any way authorita
tive, the silhouette of the Empress
Josephine seems to be lengthening
across the land abroad, and has al
ready arrived over seas to us. Skirts
are narrow to inconvenience at the
bottom and figures suggest that the
corset is about to be forgotten—in
effect —but not of course in reality.
American women have ceased to ac
cept everything Paris chooses to hand
out to them, however, and it remains
to be seen just how the banded skirts
and coats will be received. But there
is no doubt about the liking for soft
draperies, and old classic models
never fail of some degree of wel
come. The manner of draping fine
bits of old Chantilly is shown in the
picture just as a suggestion to some
one who may own a mantle or shawl
or a long scarf. TK°re are any num
ber of ways by which it may be made
to become a part crt the costume.
Shawls are arranged with the point
fastened to the bodice at the bust line,
plaited in at the waist on each side of
the front, but hanging free at this
point, and tacked to the skirt at the
sides. This is not the only manner
of i licing them. With trained gowns
tho fine shawl of old lace may play
i the most Important part of tho com-

INGENIOUS COAT HANGERS
Good Substitute fop a Regular Article
When Such Is Not at
Hand.
A coat or jacket of any description
should bo kept on « coat hanger—
when not being worn. If a regular
hanger does not chance to be on hand
a good substitute can be evolved by
making a tight roll of wrapping paper
or newspaper and tying about the cen
ter a string with loop* left to hang
It on the hook.
The paper roll If sufficiently thick
will keep a coat In shape nicely.
Most waists are also better hung up
than laid In a drawer. In traveling It
Is especially convenient to be able
lo fashion good hangers with only a
few old papers, a bit of string and
just a moment's time and work.
For traveling the small cases of ex
tension hungers are delightfully com
pact and a great convenience. These
hangers can also be bought separately
and a bag of silk or dimity made for
them to be carried In.

EVERY BREEDER SHOULD
POSSESS DIPPING TANK
Even Carefully Kept Herds and Flocks Are Liable
Become Infested With Vermin—lnexpensive
Plant Illustrated.
if
A Practical Dipping Tank.
The time to rid flocks of sheep and
herds of swine of ticks and lice is
during the warm months and then
there will bt- none to bother with in
the winter time and to annoy animals
so that only half or no profits can be
had from them. Of course while the
ilocks and herds are cleaned up, the
buildings must also be properly reno
vated and cleaned up, or there may be
a general reiufesting froiu them, says
Wisconsin Agriculturist. Every hog
and sheep farm should have a dipping
plant as a part of its regular equip
ment, for even carefully kept herds
and flocks are liable to become Infest
ed with vermin such as lice and ticks.
A convenient, inexpensive and
iurable dipping plant may be con
structed on the plan of the one repre
sented in the accompany illustration.
The sheep or hogs are driven in at a
receiving chute, plunged into a tank
containing a disinfectant solution,
made to swim to the other end, where
they can climb out over another chute
and return to the pens or into pad
docks. The general construction of
the chutes does not need much ex-s
planation. That is quite clear from the
plan of the illustration. Good cedar
posts set firmly into the ground three
feet apart, with the exception of those
at the ends of the tank, which should
bo no farther apart than the top width
of the tank, answer the purpose of sup
ports. Pieces of 2x4-inch studding are
nailed to each pair at proper height to
give the incline to the floors. Planks
are used for the flooring and inch
boards for the sides. The incline of
the receiving chute to the right of the
illustration has cleats nailed across its
floor to aid the animals in making the
cliinb; the decline has no cleats and
is covered with a sheet of galvanized
zinc to prevent the animals resisting
being plunged into the tank. The
cleats of the farmer are nailed straight
across. A gate is attached at the en
trance to the chute so that a number
of animals may be inclosed at a time
while the dippers are working at the
tank. The distance between the posts
of the receiving chute on the sides is
four feet, and the height of the incline
is one foot and a half.
The incline of the chute through
which the animals leave the tank is
the same as that of the receiving

(fly S. M. M 11 .I.Kit.)
In March I drove ten miles to a big
sale in another part of the county
and on the way i counted five mowers,
one new reaper, and six plows stand
ing In the fields or alongside barns
without shelter. In one barnyard
which confined about twenty Holsteln
cows a good reaper stood at one side
of the barn. Part of it was under the
eaves from which had dripped rain
and snow and formed an ice ridge six
Inches thick. A big Plymouth Hock
rooster stood proudly on one of the
blades of the machine and there was
evidence that this was the favorite
roosting place of the flock.
In ono field a breaking plow had
been left standing at the end of a
furrow in a corner of the field and
the snow covered the btntm. One han
dle was broken off. At the sale a
fine reaper ami mower were sold. The
reaper was In u leaky shed but the
luower stood in a corner of an alfalfa

chute, but it is longer, the distance be
tween the posts being five instead of
four feet. The floor here should also
be covered with galvanized sheeting
and the cleats nailed so as to allow
the dripping from the wet animals to
run back Into the tank. Unless this is
done the supply of solution in the tank
will soon all be lost, and the dipping
made unnecessarily much ex
pensive. The cleats, instead of run
ning directly across, are short pieces
nailed at angles, so that their inner
ends are lower than the outer ends,
and do not meet so as to let the drip
pings cun down the center. When
sheep are dipped it may become nec
essary to retain them in the dripping
chute for a time, as those with
long wool will carry even a gallon or
two of the dip In their fleeces, which
takes time to drain out.
The dipping tank should be at least
four feet deep at the end into which
the animals are plunged to admit of
their being entirely submerged, and
should be about fifteen feet long, so
that sufficient time is required by the
animal to pass through for them to
receive a thorough wetting from the
solution, otherwise it will be neces
sary to hold them back for a time un
til this is accomplished. The deep part
of the tank need not be longer than
five feet, the rest of the tank becom
ing gradually shallower up to the
dripping chute and the bottom having
cleats or grooves across to assist the
animals in wading along. At the top
the tank should be 18 inches wide, but
at the bottom a width only sufficient
for the animal's feet is necessary.
This will properly be about one foot.
The material of which the dipping
tank is made may be either wood, gal
vanized sheeting or concrete. Con
crete will prove the most lasting, and
can easily enough be molded by the
owner.
Topdressing Pastures.
Pastures may be topdressed and
should not be grazed too early In
spring nor too heavily. Where pas
tures can be plowed It is advisable to
plow and reseed occasionally.
The raising of clover, corn and for
age crops furnishes a larger amount
j of protein for cattle and less feed will
need to be purchased.

Perhaps he was right, but it seemed
to me that if he had fanned his 120
acres right up to the handle in every
way he; would have been better off
than after selling out, paying the ex
pense of moving and equipping his
new big farm in the northwest. The
farm showed every evidence of neg
lect of small things. It was untidy,
unthrifty in appearance «nd showed
the lack of system. With such a farm
er the bigger the farm the greater
the waste. That ten-mile trip was
a great object lesson to me and to
my boys, who went along, as well.
Watering Plants.
Watering in the evening, besides aid
ing In the spread of fungous illseasos,
also causes "damping off." Watering
should never be practised during
heavy, cloudy weather. Shade, heat
and light should be considered. Plants
growing In the bright sunlight always
need more water than those In the
shade, for evai>oratlon and transpira
tion are always greater under such cir
cumstances. Mid-day waterings, when
the sun shines directly tin the foliage,
will burn the foliage of many of our
common house plants. Shading during
excessive heat will strengthen the
plants uud us*lst In retaiiiitiK moisture.

COUNTRY'S WEALTH IN OIL
Industry That Has Grown to Enor
mous proportions Within a Few
Years.
The production of oil In the United
States has grown from nothing at the
lime of its discovery to enormous pro
portions. Millions of barrels have been
taken from the country near the west
ern slope of the Alleghenies in west
ern Pennsylvania, and millions more
from the districts in West Virginia
and Ohio. Indiana has yielded its
share and Illinois has been productive
beyond the dreams of avarice.
It remained, however, for Kansas
and Oklahoma, together with the In
dian Territory, to open the eyes of the
modern driller and capitalists. When
the soil was first tapped in the wild
catting operations of that section
great gushers rewarded the efforts of
the men who had the courage and cap
ital to engage in the enterprise. The
usual rush followed, but many thou
sands of acres had been already taken
up and the war for supremacy began.
The Lost Chords.
The village concert was to be a
great affair. They had the singers,
they had the program sellers, they
had the doorkeepers and they would
doubtless have the audience. All they
needed was the piano, but that they
lacked. Nor could they procure one
anywhere.
At last the village organist learned
that ono was possessed by Farmer
Hayseed, who lived "at the top o' the
'ill." Forthwith he set out with two
men and a van.
"Take It, an* welcome," said Hay
seed cordially "I've no objections
E'long as ye put 'Pyenner by Hayseed'
on the program."
They carted It away.
"An' I wish 'em joy of It," mur
mured Mrs. Hayseed, as the van disap
peared from sight.
"Wish 'em joy of It," repeated Hay
seed. "What d'ye mean?"
"Well, I mean I only 'ope they'll
find all the notes they want," replied
the good woman. " 'Cos, ye see, when
I wanted a bit o' wire I alius went to
the old planner for it."
It Is a Mistake
Many have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar
tic. This wonderful record is the result
of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
mouth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends und users.
Like all great successes, trade pi
rates prey on the unsuspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar In
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised In purchasing well
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar
ets. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET
"Four years ago I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for si*
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time I suffered continual torture
from Itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and ap
plication of Cuticura Ointment I en-
Joyed the first good sleep during my
entire Illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time I was able to be
about the house, entirely cured, and
have felt no ill effects since. I would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti
cura Remedies, as I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nennlng,
