AGAIN THE LOCKET DANGLES.
Lockets are In rogue once more.
Time was a couple of dpcades or so
ago when she who had not some such
glittering pendant on her watch chain
or hung by a strand of its own was
as incongruous In the eyes of her sis
ters as a bride without a wedding ring.
Then the locket passed out of fashion
almost coincidently with the custom of
wearing a loved one's hair In It. Again
It is here, and It will be interesting to
see what the twentieth ceiitury jeweler
does with Its many possibilities.
Gladys Vanderbllt wears a rose gold
locket crusted with diamonds and
rubies and containing a miniature of
her mother not much larger than a gold
dollar. Beatrice Mills' dangles from
' a string of tiny pearls a Roman gold
locket with a fox's iead in relief. Rey
nard Is sniffing superciliously at a
bunch of grapes done in blue enamel.

known love of learning.
THE SHIRT-WAIST SUIT.
' r-vidently the shirt waist suit is to
be as good as ever. It Is certainly trim
and smart, and positively distinguished
as compared -with skirt and waists
totally unrelated to each other.
In white lawn there are dainty affairs
as fetching as they will be suitable.
Fine tucks, Valenciennes lace, embroid
ery and French knots are noted in the
decoration of these crisp suits. There
arc cape-yoke effects, and there are
straight up-and-down effects. The
Skirts show only enough trimming to
keep them in countenance with the
waist.
Heavy handsome linen suits are to be
tiad both plain and ornate. The former
needs no description. One of the latter
sort, an effective creation for real oc
casions of an outdoor nature, is
trimmed with a quantity of heaviest
roehet lace, which seems to be an
mnnllque. Embroidery, deftly intra
Sliced, also enriches the scheme. A Val
oke is in the blouse, which shows a
raduated bos pleat at both back and

THINGS WOMEN SHOULD KNOW.
No man is ever really in love who
can say so with all the ease, ardor and
eclnt of a stage lover.
No man ever loved a woman just be-
cause she was good
The husband who never gives his
wife a decent word or a compliment
would knock down any other man who
would treat her in the same way.
The sincerest lovers are those who
are tongue-tied and don't know where
to put their feet.

THEATRE BOW.
' We may return to that old style of
wearing a bow rather than a hat to
the theatre. At any rate, such bows
are now being bought for the purpose.
As a matter of fact they are likely
to be as exactly as much in the way of
the person sitting behind as the hat of
moderate size, the turban, for instance.
And what is worse, no woman will ex
pect to remove a mere Vow upon re
quest. That they make an effective
headdress, however, there is no deny-
Ir.K.
On the head such an arrangement
looks like an Alsatian bow merely. It
Is usually double or triple and rests
crosswise, appearing to the advantage

VALUE OF FRAISE.
Has It ever struck you what a sweet
ener of life Is a few words of appre
ciation and encouragement? How few
of us take the trouble to stop a few
moments and praise a servant tor
work well done, or even pause to tell
our nearest and dearest how we appre
ciate all the daily services, which we
have apparently never noticed.
When our friends die we nasten to
send beautiful flowers as a last appre
ciation ot our love for them, nut
ould It not be bettor If we had helped
them by a little praise when they were
orklng. or it we had cheered them
In the dark days wnen tney were
troubled and suffering?
Only a few kind words or apprecia
tion! The cost is nothing, but tne re
compense Is beyond price. Let ?ie

prizes her love for him, and the wife
tell her husbaud how truly 'she recog
nizes all his care for her. And the
mother should reveal In words how
much she values her children's affec
tion, while the child who says to Its
mother, "Thank you for all your love
to me," has rewarded Her rar oeyona

BOUDOIR CHAT.
Women have gone in for tucking and
faggoting trillings and stitches, and all
the rest of it. and now the Industrious

work to the advantage of her summer

Feather Pillows.
Pillows wear out just like anything
else, says a housekeeping authority,
even though one may change the tick
covering from time to time; the
feathers become impregnated with
dust and dirt and lose the life that is
in all good feathers at first. Then,
too, years ago feathers were not pre
pared, nor pillows made according to
the scientific methods that now ob
tain. A pair of feather pillows bought
today of a reliable firm, are not at
all like the feather pillows of our
gandmother's day, as one soon finds,
and it would be wise for many a
housewife to go through her bed
chambers and place new pillows on
every bed, renovating the feathers in
the old pillows, for which purpose
they do very well, but not for afford
ing comfortable rest and sleep at

To Make a Tough Fowl Tender.
Truss the fowl as usual and then
enfold it completely in two thickness
es of wrapping paper, securely fast
ening tho paper with a piece of string.
The fowl may now be put In the oven
and roasted for three-quarters of an
hour. At the end of this time the pa
per is removed and the chicken re
turned to the oven and roasted as
long as would have been necessary
had it been tender in the beginning.
It must be basted often and turned
occasionally. When done it should be
as toothsome as a young chicken.
Sometimes a chicken or turkey will
brown too fast during roasting. Cov
er with a buttered paper during the
last hour in the oven, tucking the pa
per In carefully about the fowl.
When stuffing is to be served cold
always add an egg, which Improves

If your family is small, or a turkey
Is large, do not carve more than one

Chickens, turkeys and ducks, any
one of which to be good for roasting,
must be young. How to choose them?
There is one test that never fails
tender flesh under the wing. If this
breaks easily when the wing is pulled
forward, or If you can easily break it
with a push of yeur thumb, you need
not doubt its youth. If you have a
family who all desire breast, choose
a short-legged breed, for the longer
the legs the more sparing is the flesh
on the breast. A chicken to fry well,
after the true Maryland fashion
should not weigh over two pounds. In
buying turkeys and ducks the same
rule will apply.

time a chestnut dressing with sausage
meat Boll for 20 minutes one and

butter, and cook until the nuts are
soft Mash them smooth, and when
they are cold season with salt and

meat and the whole chestnuts. Mix

petticoats are recommend

The Crop That Never Falls.
I know ot only one sure crop on the
farm that never falls, no matter what
the weaither or the condition of the
soil, and that Is the weed crop. The
past season has been very favorable
for this crop, and an abundant yield
ot seed Is sure to follow, so that we
may expect a large weed crop next
summer.. On occasional farms there
are comparatively few weeds, except
those In fence corners, along the roads,
or In places not cultivated or grazed
by sheep. These places on our farms
should be looked after, the weeds cut
and left on the ground. It green; it
ripe, burn them. It Is surprising how
many such weeds cfcu he destroyed In
a short time by a good scythe In the
hands of a man who knows how to
use It. Along the road, weeds are left
to go to seed, and cause trouble to
adjoining fields that would doubtless
have been almost clear of weeds.

About Apple Trees.
Mr. E. A. Seasons, an orchardist of
Madison, Ohio, gives us the following
interesting experience with apple
trees:
This being nn off year of my Bald
win trees. I decided to experiment
with them, and gave each of two
trees, as early in the spring as frost
permitted, an application of two
pounds each of fine ground bone and
muriate of potash. The middle of
April about two pounds of nitrate of
soda was scattered under each. Two
adjacent trees of the same variety
were left unfertilized. With the com
ing of the leaves the effects of the
fertilizers were apparent The trees
which were fertilized produced glossy,
dark green foliage, and the fruit was
much above the average of size in
other years, or a most brilliant color
and of the finest eating quality, and
exceeded the quantity produced by the
untreated trees, whose fruit was of
Inferior quality, small, tough and, to
some extent, scabby. On- the untreat
ed trees the early foliage was a sick
ly color and very slow In appearing,
as were the blossoms, which were not
at all abundant. Up-to-Date Farming.
Chicken Chatter.
Fat hens are not laying hens.
Common sense Is a good stock
in
trade.
Don't buy cheap food; buy the best,
yourself.
Regularity and cleanliness Is an ex
cellent motto.
Look to the diet of your hens if you
wish "quality" in eggs.
Don't crowd; better sell some of the
birds and make rooiu.
If you like rich, yellow yolks to
your eggs, feed the hens corn.
Don't buy cheap food; buy the best.
If good results, are the object.
Remove the droppings and burn
them, immediately If the chickens have
worms.
Eggs don't happen, it takes study
and care to have them In abundance,
remember.
In killing fowls never do so before
the rest of the flock as it Is apt to
frighten them.
See that the laying hens have plen
ty of water as they need that as much
as they flo food.
When eggs have two yolks, you can
assure yourself that the system ot
feeding is wrong. .
Let the fowls run in the orchard
and there Will he less insects for you
to contend with.
Never let late hatched chickens run
or be fed with older chickens, or they
will be trampled and half starved.
The Apiary.
There are a few things which must
be kept in mind to insure success. I
will briefly touch thnse. points. The
first rule, which has vry appropriate
ly been called "the golden rule of bee
keeping," is that you must keep your
colonies strong at all times, if you
wish to get a honey crop. Keep this
In view always and work for It.
The second thought or rule, and one
very closely related to the above Is in
relation to the queen. A good prolific
young queen is necessary at all times.
You should see to It that your queens
do not outgrow their usefulness, a
queen over two years old, as a rule, be
comes unprofitable, as the queen Is the
life of the colony, It is very essential
that this matter be considered very
carefully.
The hive is a very important mat
ter.
Here are the points to consider In a
hive: First, success in wintering: sec
ond, amount of comb honey obtained;
third, ease and speed of manipulation.
L. L. Langstroth, the father of mod
ern bookkeeping came very near solv
ing all those points, or at least the
first two, successfully. His ideas on
those two points are the best known
today. His hive has been changed
slightly to secure the third, so that
his hive, all things considered gives
the best results of any hive In use
today. Each manufacturer has some
pet hobby or theory to catch the fancy;
but for safety In wintering and results
give me the Langstroth hive adapted
for pound sections.
A common mistake with beginners
la to think that they can improve the
standard hives. Don't try it If you
want to make your own hives, send to
some factory and get a sample hive all
nailed and fitted up, and make your
hives exactly like it Each piece and
space has been carefully thought out
and tested and means something.
George W. Williams, in The Indiana
Farmer.
Best Cow Liked Alfalfa.
In his interesting reference to th
Jersey cow test at St. Louis, Mr. Van
Pelt under whose charge it was con
ducted, In the Jersey Bulletin refers to
the great Jersey cow that stood at
the head. He says:
Perhaps no cow In the whole test
was so much a subject of habit as No.
37, that averaged 42 cents a day net
profit in butter alone. It will be noted
by the feeding tables that her ration
differed from the other cows and dif
fered greatly In its own composition at
different times. She was 'particularly
fond, of alfalfa hay, and ate more by
far than any other "row in the test;
and, together with corn meal and oats,
would respond more readily to these
than with any other food stuffs.
If it happened that oats had beea
rolled and the hulls removed, so much
the better. This was her great sin.
Even though rolled oats could be pur
chased at the St Louis feed stores for
the same money as ground oats, it was
thought by some that a cow should
not eat the same food that they them
selves had so often eaten at their
morning meal, little thinking of the
many times they had eaten corn meal
at their supper table. Yet It was giv
en the name of "breakfast food," and
one feeder, rather than feed that which
had been given such an unpractical
name, resorted to feeding oats of such
a quality that upon being analyzed by
the chemist were found to be all hulls
and almost entirely Indigestible?
It was also found necessary to study
the particular likes and dislikes of this
cow In how and when she was water
ed, exercised and milked; and it is on
ly fair to assume that had her pecu
liarities never been found and catered
to she would never have produced the
amount of butter she did, nor stood at
the head ot the list as the best dairy
cow of any breed. Yet how often we
And it tile case that the very best
cows, with their dairy Instincts devel
oped to the highest degree, are the
ones which need the greatest amount
of special care! Indiana Farmer.
Value of Irrigation.
"The most Important factor In grow-
ng crops is soil moisture," says Farm
Stock Journal. "Poor soil will grow
good crops If water Is supplied in just
the right quantity at the right time,
while the very best soil will produce
nothing without water.
Although agriculture is hundreds of
years eld the minor details have re
ceived all or nearly all ot the consid
eration of agriculturists up to the
present time. The most Important of
all, that of the regulation of soil wat
er has received the least attention.
Experiments on a large scale here and
there with irrigation works In sections
of the country where rainfall is sup
posed to be sufficient also have proved
very profitable.
'The probabilities are that auxiliary
Irrigation works for intensive farming
in the near future will receive the atr
tention that It should. Of course arti
ficial irrigation In rainy sections of
the country on large farms In all pro
bability will be out of reach for prac
tical use. Throughout the thickly set
tled portions of the east and middle
states, especially near large markets,
such crops as strawberries, potatoes,
cabbage. In fact almost ail trucking .
crops could be grown under Irrigation
to advantage. In many places the sost
ot irrigation would be very slight as
the water supply is now going to
waste through small or large streams
that could be run by gravitating to
the land or lifted at slight expense by
wind or power. The necessity of
growing larger crops Is becoming more
pronounced every year. Experiment
stations are working out problems in
irrigation and sub-lrrlgatlon that are
extremely Interesting. In southern
sections, where two or three crops may
be grown on the same land within the
year, returns' would be better than in
the north, where only one crop usual
ly Is grown. But some means for
increasing the output of land on the
smaller farms and In trucking districts
must come soon.
"A great deal has been done of late
years to conserve tne natural rain
fall with the result that better crops
are grown simply by better cultivation.
The habit of keeping the ground loose
on top to prevent evaporation Is grow
ing and extending each year. The val
ue of rotation to prevent a plentiful
supply of humus also is recognized by
better fanners everywhere. It Is now
well known that soli containing plen
ty of humus also contains sufficient
moisture for the needs of all crops
when rainfall Is abundant When the
soil is very loose water is not brought
up from below with sufficient rapidity
to feed the roots of growing plants. In
such soils probably no means ot sup
plying moisture will be found until ir
rigation is tried. But other soils hav
ing a clay subsoil and furnished with
sufficient humus the moisture question
is easier."
Passing of the Veterans.
Grant was a general; so were Hayes
and Garfield and Harrison. McKinley
was a major. Since Andrew Johnson
all the presidents, except Arthur and
Cleveland, down to Roosevelt, were
soldiers ot the civil war. McKinley
was the last. The civil war veteran
has passed from the president's office
to return no more. Senator Bate was
perhaps the last of the old Confeder
ates in the senate from Tennessee. He
is also the last of the old Bchool of
southern gentlemen who link the past
with the present. Turner was the
last confederate to serve as governor.
It Is doubtful whether another old
confederate will be elected governor,
senator or representative. Nashville
