Velvet In black and other deep rich tones is very much
in favoi for formal gowns, and especially for walking
suits. It Is also used for long, handsome top coats, oft­
en with a soft white fur. The sketch shows three velvet
models, each one serving In a different garment. The
first figure shows a long coat of smoke gray velvet over
a princess gown of gray satin cloth. It Is quaintly cut

There Is not a country in the land
but bristles with Jane Austen women,
says a writer. With a good many ex­
ceptions, one would not be sorry to
see them go. They are kindly, but
•mall— deadly small.
The woman of the future is not of
this type. She is far too busy to be
womanish, but she will never grow out
of being feminine. She is shedding
her smallness. Like the genie in the
Arabian Nights, now the cork has
been removed, she is darkening the
whole sky like a pillar of smoke: but
presently the smoke will settle into "a
figure of gigantic size.” She w ill be
the Meredith woman, softened by real­
ity. as Galatea softened into life.
She will not glide about with up­
lifted finger like Agnes, nor drive tired
men to distraction with b »r prattle
like Dora, nor weep eternally when
George Is unkind, like Amelia.
No,

glass of water at bedtime, if thirst is
very great. But It is much better to
do without all liquids entirely, if pos­
sible. It Is not necessary, says the
physician, to remain Indoors while the
cure is being tried; in fact, he recom­
mends that the patient get out of
doors and breathe the fresh air. He
calims that the "d ry cure” is infalli­

A happy, joyous home Is a power­

sacred memory of It has kept many
a person from losing his self-respect
and from the commission of crime.
Fun is the cheapest and best medi­
cine in the world for your children
as well as for yourself. Give it to
them in good, large doses. It will
not only save you doctors' bills, but
it w ill also help to make your chil­
dren happier, and w ill improve their
chances in life. The very fact that
the Instinct to play— the love of fun­
is so imperious in the child shows
a great necessity in its nature which
if suppressed will leave a famine In
its life. A sunny, joyous, happy child­
hood Is to the individual what a rich
anil and genial sun are to the young
plant. I f the early conditions are not
favorable, the plant becomes starved.
This Is true with the human plant.
A starved, suppressed, stunted child­
hood makes a dwarfed man. A joyous,
happy, fun-loving environment devel­
ops powers, resources and possibilities
which would remain dormant In a
cold, repressing environment.

I have been using a device with
which to slop pigs for a number of
years and find that I can slop 150 pigs
with it easier than any way I know of,
writes an Iowa farmer. The illustra­
tion explains Itself, but I will add a
few pointers. Each of the four troughs
is 16 feet apart. A 22-foot trough Is
attached to the fence a couple of feet
above the floor of these troughs, and
slop poured Into this trough runs Into
each one of the four troughs by pipes.
By this plan all troughs are filled
with equal rapidity, and If the outlet
of each pipe Is bent it will shoot the
slop half the length of the trough be-

Under the heading, "P lain Talk by
i Plain Farm er," a writer in the A gri­
cultural Epitomlst says:
“ It seems to me that we are fast
coming to that place where it is going
to mean something to own a farm and
mean much more to know how to han­
dle it. We are beginning to look upon
the farm as something that requires
the brightest mind to manage. In my
travels about the country I have
found places where at one side of the
road we saw fine land and fine stock,
everything looking prosperous, and on
the other side exactly the reverse,
everything going to pieces, poor crops
and poor stock, and the owner head
over heels in debt. I am sorry for
the man who is unfortunate, who has
sickness or anything of that kind to
contend with, but what Is the reason
in the same neighborhood for so great
u difference? It is not always an ac­
cident or sickness, but because one
man Is the farmer and the other is
not a farmer. I think we can do no
better work than help speed the day
when we may educate our farmers
in our public schools so that they can
read the agricultural papers and bulle­
tins Intelligently. The trouble Is not
that farmers do not read the agricul­
tural books, papers and bulletins, but
that their early education has been
neglected and they are unfamiliar with
the terms that we are compelled to
use in w riting upon agricultural top­
ics. There Is no greater need In our
education to-day than something that
will assist in connecting our experi­
ment station workers, our agricultural
press and our agricultural
writers
with their readers.”
W in te r .
An excellent suggestion is made by
a practical swine breeder to those hav­
ing cement floors in their pens.
He advises a movable wooden floor
for the winter. He makes his own
floors of one Inch boards, and lays
them flat on the cement, in section
small enough to be easily removed at
any time. In this way he combines
the advantages of both the cement and
the wood. He can remove the board
floor, scrub out the pen and also thor­
oughly clean and disinfect the false
floor outside. Cement is the cheapest
material in the end for the floor of
the hog pen. The floor of the outer
apartment should be a few inches low­
er than the house floor, so as to in­
sure drainage and dry sleeping quar­
ters.
