THE EMPIRE COMB.
The old-fashioned empire comb In
plain shell has once more returned to
fashionable favor. Just at present
It seem to be the stylish caprice for
women with blonde or light brown
' tresses to wear these and their side
combs In dark tortoise shell.
The dark-haired sisterhood prefer
the amber combs, which show to
such an advantage by force of con
trast. The plain part of these combs ts
about two inches wide.
They are most attractive when
worn rather high in the hair close to
the knot.
Stiffness In hatrdresslng seems the
thing to be especially avoided, an
easy, natural style being preferable.

A woman should speak In a low
Voice. She should not allow her voice
to raise Itself to a high pitch. She
should not shout her orders. This
shouting and raising of the voice
spoils tone and quality, and tends to
make it harsh. A pretty voice is a
powerful attraction in a woman, and
she who would add to her charms a
wondrous fascination should culti
vate a voice "ever soft, gentle and
low." Indianapolis News.
. MAKING OVER OLD SUITS.
Of course, every one likes to have
a new suit each season, but four suits
a year soon land one in quite a mess
of half-worn clothes that are a burden
and a reproach to a conscientious
woman. It Is often wiser and more
satisfactory to remodel a last year's
suit than to buy a new one.
A good material should give two or
three seasons of hard service it it is
handled in the right manner. It can
always be cleaned, turned or dyed so
that the most fastidious woman can
satisfy herself as to its absolute fresh
ness. .
A new lining, new cuff and collar
facings tot a coat, and a general over
hauling for a skirt, will put a last
year's suit quite in order it one only
Intends using it tor hard hacking and
rainy days.
But If the suit must make a pre
sentable appearance In good society
one will have to go to a little more
trouble. It Bhould be recut, the
sleeves made up to date and the neck
opening, collar, etc., made to answer
to the last word on smart tailoring.

One of the new veils is so large as
to be more like a long scarf. It is
composed of a strip of beize net,

The simple white linen Russian

Slippers are unusually coquettish
this season. Cloth of steel and cloth
of bronze are among the innovations,
and they make up the smartest shoes

The crowns of some of the new
hats' are very tall, and the brims wry
large, but they are also turned up at
the side, close to the crown, and
thus the circumference is greatly de
creased. Cashmere cloth is one of the most
popular of the season's fabrics and
nothing is better for practically hard
wear. It is to be had in nearly any
design and color. Black and blue are
very popular.
The latest method of arranging the
hair is called the modern "Gainsbor

chignon with a huge double coil
which stands out at the side. In tha
front is a small flat side parting, and
a few tiny curls flutter on the fore
head. The heavy double coll is seen
under the uplifted brim of a Gains
borough hat.

The dress consists of the Jersey
portion and the skirt. The Jersey
portion is cut in tabs at the lower
edge which are faced and turned over
to form the trimming. The skirt is
straight and pleated. The trimming
portions on the waist are separate and
are attached and the simple sleeves
are made with upper and under por
tions. If the Jersey portion is de
sired separate the skirt can be Joined
to a second body portion, preferably
cut from thin lining material.

Eight Gored Skirt.
The skirt that is made in sections,
or to give a panel effect, is an ex
ceedingly smart one that is constantly
growing In favor. This model is emi
nently graceful yet quite simple. It
will be found adapted to all season
able materials and also to those ot
the Incoming season. One ot the
pretty novelties woven to give a sug
gestion ot a check is the material
illustrated and it is trimmed with
buttons and simulated buttonholes,
but buttons would be quite correct or
the edges finished with stitching or
trimmed In any manner preferred.
The skirt Is in walking length and
consequently adapted to the street
and to simple Indoor gowns. It is
graceful and becoming without mean'
ing elaboration.
The skirt is made In eight gores
and each alternate gore Is made in
two sections, the lower being pleated
and Joined to the upper, which is
shaped at Its lower edge. The clos
ing is made beneath the box pleat at
the back.

There Is no danger of overstocking

MONET IN HOGS.
Any farmer who will equip his
farm for swine raising and keep other
stock In order to change his rotations
and expand his variety ot crops can
become well-to-do in five or ten years
by raising good hogs and fattening
them for market, says an exohange.
There Is absolutely no question about
this. Pork can be cheaply and quick
ly produced. It can be made on other
crops than high-priced corn. Soy
beans, clover and alfalfa will grow
It. Corn Is the most efficient fatten
er, but It Is not necessary In pork pro
duction. Corn-belt farmers could
well afford to sell their corn and
make pork with other crops. By
sowing clover, alfalfa, cow peas,
soy beans and vetch In crop rotations
the nitrogen and humus content ot
soils could be maintained and the
element phosphorus could be applied
In raw rock phosphate at comoara-
tlvely light expense. We mean to
say that soli fertlUtyscould be main
tained and pork-making made profit
able on corn farms without the use
of corn as a hog teed. Farmers'
Home Journal
FERTILIZING TOO MUCH.
Many farmers believe that the con
stant application ot the accumula
tions of the barnyard makes their
land "too rich." It might be made
too rich for a particular crop If high
ly manured, but If the manure is ap
plied where it should be, In a rota
tion, there is no danger of land ever
getting too rich. It might be made
so for an oat crop because it would
make too rank a growth of straw,
but there Is the grass land that al
ways needs Just the kind ot growth
that Is objectionable In the case of
oats. Put the manure where It be
longs, and too much of It can not be
used.
While the manure pile Is begin
ning to be appreciated, there are a
great many who do not know its real
value. They do not appreciate the
fact that if it is put In the right place
it means Increased yields, and returns
far exceeding the cost of application.
The reason why its real value is not
more generally appreciated is be
cause farmers have for so long a time
been accustomed to a very rich and
comparatively virgin soil, but there
never was land bo rich that It wonld
not wear out by continuous cropping
without any returns being made to
It. Every comparatively new country
is slow to learn this. The soil ot
such regions has the accumulations
of centuries to draw upon. Eastern
farmers had these accumulations,
too, and so did those ot the South.
but In both sections commercial fer
tilisers are now being used at a cost
far beyond the conoeption ot' the
Western farmer who la still delving
In virgin soil. Epltomlst.
PLAN FOR IMPROVING CORN.
About ten years ago I became
much Interested in the Improvement
ot soed eorn and after much groping
about I finally settled down on the
following plan:
Start with one well established
variety, and in seleotlng the ears for
seed lot one-fourth of them be from
one field and three-fourths from an
other field, in order that there may
be no "pollen rslatlon" between
them.
To secure perfeet pollenization It
Is best to have this proportion one
row ot the mother plants to three
rows of those need for the sire, be
sides having all the outside, rows of
the sire plants. The sire plants are
those not detassekd, and no corn is
saved from them for ssed.
While the corn Is trowing 'it must
have every possible advantage of
good cultivation, and when the time
comes to detassel (which should be
Just before the pollen ripens) make
the cut With a sharp knife at the
base of the tassel and then cover
the cqt with good grafting wax, to
prevent evaporation and consequent
shriveling ot the grain. When busk
ing the corn from these detasseled,
or "mother" rows, select only the
best for seed.
This crop of seed will furnish the
mother rows for the next season, and
the sire corn must be obtained from
a distance, as in the first year. It
would be still better it two such plats
of corn could be grown, as has Just
been outlined; then one could be
used for the mother rows the second
yea and the other for the sire rows.
This line of mother plants should
be kept up for six years, and the sire
corn selected at a distance each year;
pollen Is borne from one field to an
other by winds and sire corn must be
had that has not been fertilized by
pollen from your experimental plat.

Farmer.
8ome Irregularity, but Further ln
provement Manifest In
8prlng Trade.
"Trade irregularity is still manifest,
but reports as a whole, show a still
further improvement, due to the ad
vanco of the spring season. Improve
ment in weather, and ooincldently la
trade reports, is most manifest in ths
agricultural sections of the Wlest,
Northwest and Southwest, while tha
reports from the East and parts of tha
South show the development of spring
business retarded by the lingering ol
winter. However, the unsettled la
bor outlook in many lines ot industry,
the effect of high prices as limiting de
mand, or, as In the case of cotton
goods, inducing curtailment of pro
duction and the tendency to await ju
dicial decisions in several Important
cases, are all laid stress upon.
"There Is little disposition to deny
that trade Is considerably better thaa
b year ago, a period also of waiting
trade, and far in excess of this tlma
two years ago, but the rate of pro
gress is slower than sanguine expec
tations had led to expect.
