nronf that the stock horn nnd raised on the Kerlln farm Is much nbovo tho ordinary. J. V. Kerlln. the senior member oP. the firm, has a son taking the ngrleul tural course at Purdue University, nnd this fact gives added interest to all work pertaining to the farm. Purdue University Is one of the very best agricultural Colleges of the United States, a fact of which every Hooslor Is proud. Perhaps an inherited love for farming has helped make the Kerliu brothers successful in their calling, but I feel that It has been their persistent ifforts, their system and their profit ing from their mistakes that have , placed them among the rectignlzed t.irmers of Indiana. It was through their influence that that wonderful ear of corn, the great Clore product. the most perfet specimen of its kind known to "cornoh.gy." was on exhli billon at our c rn snow last January. I While these gentlemen expect to ' continue the breeding and rearing of j livestock. th also expect to go dor I er into the growth of cereals and the i care of seed corn especially. The ; junior men'ber of the firm, as a sort j of side issue to farming and stock j ra'sing, has invented and owns the I -item for a concrete fence post mu- ' chine, a device that is bound to bring him fame in a tangible form.

The result of buying cheap f lover and alfalfa seed is now showing up all over the country. On account of the very high price of these seeds during the last two years many frners have b en tempted to buy the .scarcely believe that a butdiel of clover or afalfa seed could contain such a va' number of weed seeds, and it seenis that every weed seed is alive and vigorous enough to grow. In an unfavoiable period, such as v. e have had now for six week, alfalfa or clover stands no show at all against These hard weeds, and the result is ;hat weeds are taking many fields. I want to warn clover and alfalfa growrs against bracted plantain and wild carrot. These two pests are spreading at nn alarming rate, and pastures and meadows all over Illinois and Indiana are seriously menaced. You ..! vaiienl s 1 ... i. nan flinAnil u"alÄ'' lu"c ii-io. mavim plantain produces a head resembling , , a shrt timothy head, and many misake it for timothy. It matures seed m August, and if left undisturbed it will quickly crowd out all grasses Wi'd carrot sends up a lung ilower stem and beara several clusters of white flowers, which become cup--haped as the seeds ripen. Value of Guineas. We should not think of keeping a poultry farm without guineas. The noise they make often calls attention to disturbers that otherwise might not will lay more if the eggs are removed. Baltimore American. When to Cut Alfalfa. The Marviand experiment station recommends cutting alfalfa for hay when it is al.out one-tenth in bloom .1 ...... . L. . .. . 1 I an- uenij-f ui- 'own snuot willen make the next crop have made a suf- L firient growth to be cut off by the mower. The vitalitv of alfalfa is very much lessened by allowing it to stand very long after the proper time for cutting, and it i.s not advisable to delav cutting later than full bloom, even at risk of losing the crop. TPS of Fenceposts. The tops of fenceposts should be cut slanting, preferably with an ax. so that rainwater will not remain on them. When they are cut with a saw the pitch should be greater, especially in posts in which there Is ,t marked difference In hardness between the spring wood an I the summer wood. eekl Witness. Mashes For Poultry. The feeding of mashes to poultry Is not looked upon with so much favor at the present time as formerly, says the Farmers Advocate.

HOW TO DISCOVER SPRINGS. Indians and Frontiersmen Know a : Good Deal from Signs About Them. There Is undoubtedly a practical art of discovering springs. Indians or frontiersmen can find water in the desert when a "tenderfoot" can noL Mexicans and experienced prospectors can similarly find oro. These arts consist mainly in the recognition of superficial signs which escape the ordinary observer. It Is not necessary that the operator should consciously note these signs separately and roason upon them No doubt ho frequently does so. though he may not give away the secret of his method to others. But In many instances he recognizes by association and memory the presence of a group of indications, great or small, which he has repeatedly found to attend spring or ore deposits. This skill, due to habit. Is often almost uuerrtng for a given limited district, but under new conditions It breaks down. Old miners from California or Australia have often made in other regions the most foolish and hopeless attempts to find gold, because they thought this or that place "looked Juat like" some other place In which they hud mined suceeasfullv. Apart from the magnetic minerals, there Is no proof that ore deposits exhibit their presence and unture by any attraction or other active force. With regard to water, however, there may be an action affecting the temperature and moisture of the overlying surface. Fven here, however, it seems more likely that such effects are manifested visibly to a clone observer rather than by direct äfftet ion of his nervous or muscular system. The favorite fields for water diviners are regions in which water is abundant, but m ; x 'th ered upon given horizons of impermeable strata undeiiviug porous i uks WELD STEEL UNDER WATER. Scientific Men See Newly Discovered Flame Perform Startling Feat. Twenty-five scientific men and n an ufacturers attended a demons? ra ien in an automobile garage at X '. Cumberland street, Brookljn. yesterday afternoon, at which ; erge W. Schapp. of Xo. 193 South Oxford street, Brooklyn, welded steel an inch uuder water through his new autooxy" welding process, in which he claims to use the separated oxygen of the atr for tho combustion of Illuminating gas to produce a tempera: ure 1.500 degrees higher than has been attained before In an open name. Mr. Schapp asserts that the wse of the apparatus, a patent on which has been applied for. will revolutionize many of the trades in which metal welding plays an Important part Several experiments. Including one In which the flame cut quickly through an Inchthick steel plate, seemed to the men present to demonstrate tho effectiveness of the Invention. , The copper and jewelry Industries, the manufacture of structural and architectural Iron, bridge bnildmgand the crafts founded on the handling of aluminum and silver are promised to be greatly affected. Chemiral changes are said to be accomplished by the system of pumps and blowers with the enrburetion device which Mr. Schapp has completed after fifteen years of work and study. Wood will turn to carbon under it without the display of flames, and the heat can be localized on any metal surface, says . cchaan A Promise Unfulfilled. O. Henry, the well-known story writer, once promised the editor of a magazine that h would deliver a short story to him on the following Monday. Several Mondays passed, but the muse was refractory, and the story was not forthcoming. At last the wruthfal editor wrote this note: 'My Dear 0. Henry If I do not receive that story form you by 12 o'clock ttwlay I am going to put on my heaviest soled shoes, come down to your house and kick you down stairs I always keep my promises." Whereupon O. Henry sat down and wrote this characteristic reply: "Dear Sir I. too. would keep my promises if I could fulfill them with my feet." Success Magazine. American Princesses.

Buy Furniture Gradually and Be Careful about Colors. Buy your furniture gradually if you can not get a good quality at once. A piece or two at a time, the best of Its kind, will injure you a well-furnish. -d home eventually. Hut in r oms, as in dress, strive for some expression of your own individuality. There are homes that speak to 'he stranger and tell all the thoughts of their inmates, and there are houses that cry out their lack of personality. Therefore first make up your mind to what you want, then lend an unstubborn ear to the professional decorator. Consider the lighting of your room before choosing the decorations. A dark room can be made light nnd cheerful with the proper colorings. Don't overcrowd, don't be too ornate for comfort. Don't Jumble colors unless you want our house to resemble a May pole One lone alone is monotonous, and two that harmonize are perfectly safe, but many tones and units must be blended with the utmost care. Don't mix woods mahogany golden oak and ebony in one room ; make a combination that has only utility to recommend It. See that your pictures are well hung and suitably framed Too nianr buy the pictures for th- framo. Simple dark wood frames for etchings or engravings, dull gilt for water colors or oil paintings and narrow lines of wood harmonizing with the darkest tone In the photograph are a good choice. A safe rule for bric-a-brlc is usefulness or undouhted beauty. Cheap, crude frames, vases, clocks or small ornaments destroy artistic effects. Wall paper is all-important. Tho many figures rarely give as good results a-s neutral, walls with the figures confined to borders, ceiling or paneling. If the paper is figured keep tho drapery plain, generally of the prevailing tone in the paper. Don't have the curtains and portitres elaborately draped and of huge figured designs. Straight lines and entural colorines will never Jar on ar tistie sensitiveness lie careful about your lamps. They may be the ugliest things In your room or the most beautiful. Bases of dark rich iottery. dull brass or copper, with g-aceful lines: shades either of paper, silk or opalescent glass to blend with the other coloring are always harmonious. Lastly, don't let the light in garishly. Subdue the midday glare with drawn muslin curtains, and .hade the artificial lights at night . This Year's Linen Coats. The reiiingote and the rounded cutaway coa are both developed in linen. They are trimmed with face bands, with bands of contrasting color, machine-stitched, or with bands of heavy lace self-dyed or in natural color. The medallions are not particularly good, except when necessary to complete the pattern. Th rule for plain- smooth-fitting effects around the hips, that has governed the winter inater'ais. holds good for the lighter-weight spring and summer fabrics, no matter how much tucking or other elaboration there may bo. Also the same long lines with tho gradual flare and the sai.ie continuity of the ensemble are required now as has been. Of course, the one s-iperb fashion of the season for detol-tollette is the draped and clinging skirt of soft, rich fabrics, such as silk cashmere. Asphodel satin, marquisette, crepe de chine and fine French cashmM-ts and cloths. When beautifully draped and absolutely untrimmed. there is nothing so effective on a well-made woman. Sweet Temper as Beauty Aid. Beauty of grooming, correct poise and ability to make the most of one's good points count for more than n beautiful face. Any woman with a passable face may be attractive and even be considered beautiful If she will cultivate the art of being well groomed. "There are so many gat thing that go toward making a well-groomed woman.' sid a well-known beauty culturlst. "The first hing we teach our patrons Is the proper use of the mirror. We leach women to look hopeful, how to wear their rlnihs. how to make their i-m-k hme. to lift the corners of tin h lip and to ob serve what a pleasing effect is obtained. After a time this becomes n habit, and the mirror watchfulness Is no longer necessarv. (jood nature is an essential to a woman who would
Sphere.
appear at hr best. Orouchiness. or HI temper. Is her own worst uneni. Good nature depends, of course, very largely on being well dressed, and a wollgroomed woman is nearly always swoet-temperad." The Delineator. What He Looks At. Some men can take In all a girl wears; the average man sees If she bo the kind lie likes, or tho other Hind. If he can not go Into details he can. however, see whether: Her shoes are run down at the heels or any of the buttons aro gone. Her gloves have holes in the tips nnd would be belter for soap suds or gasoline. Sha looks "band-boxy" or ns If she had never beard of pressing. She la spotty or slouchy or nent and trim. Men may be Impressionists ns to colors and materials: they aro etchers when It comes to noticing; little things that bespeak slovenliness. Do not forget, girls, that It Is b such little things that you are judged, rather than by what you pay for your clothes or how well you carry them. Fall Skirt Compromises. Between the close-fitting skirt worn by the fashionable woman of taste nnd tho one exploited by ultra fashionables who care more for display than lor decency there Is a wide difference. The latter follows the lines of the figure, but does not sheath It In such n way as to hamper the steps In walking. Fall will probably bring out a host of compromises which will suit the multitude, but the fashion. If It becomes an established one. will make the reconstructing of nil gowns In last year's wardrobe a necessity. Whether the plaited skirt will continue for walking is to be seen. A month will throw considerable light on tho subject. Three Fashion Tips. Yokes of cream-colored chintz bear ing the marking of old-fashioned de signs have been oticed on several mod ish gowns. The most beautiful of tho evening shades are foand In Inexpensive ma terials that give better service than many of the costly ones. The one feature that almost all the new coats have In common is th. seml-iitted cloak ami cutaway effect that has a thousand different varia Hons. To Freshen Dresses. A white or colored cotton dress nan ally becomes crease,! and crumpled long before it is soiled sufficiently to warrant its dispatch to the lauudrv A little thin starch made with cold water will. hovveTor. be found excel lent as a means of stiffening the skirt where It has become limp, a sponte dipped in the starch being used with which to dampen tho material. The garment should then bo spread over an ironing board and pressed. Breakfast Jackets. Every one is aware of the blessings of a dainty little coatee to slip on In the morning,, and the cool, fresh touch it gives to one's toilet at that all important meal breakfast. They are exceedingly simple for the home dressmaker to contrive: also to launder, for muslin is the most appropriate material to choose. Spotted Swiss muslin is very suitable and not expensive, so allowing for the Investment of two or three. Buttons for Jackets. The backs of the Jackets are not made plain. Buttons of the same color as the jacket, not as tho facings, seem to part the basques at the sides and at the back, indicating that these are separated and might perhaps be buttoned up. Some jackets, braided all over, are worn with finely pleated skirts in light veiling and untrimmed. Butterflies for Hair. Hair ornaments are returning to favor, and many of the evening coiffures support huge butterflies In vio let and gold. Jet Insects, too, are much worn, and they add grace to a Psyche knot. Violet ribbon Is arranged in the hair with a flat bow at the side. Decorative Hat Pins. Huge hat pins are still In vogue, and there are some new ono of pearl, which are stuck through the hau at the side. Just above the ear. and this gives the effect of a rather barbarous adornment. Some of these large pins are very handsome, for they are made of cut Jade, ivory or finest jet. The Pony Coat. A new and odd notion in the latest pony coat Is the appearance of a row I of large buttons on one side only. about two Inches to the left of Uio front closing, the real fastening being " effected by invisible hooks. This gives fa strange one-sided effort, but It Is j fashion's decree. ' Hats Are Larger. j Hats are growing larger and larger. both in the Louis XVI nnd Henry II , styles, yet there are a good many that i are quite flat and wreathed with field ; flowers. AH shapes the worn, and tho , chaotic state of the fashion shows signs of growing still more lncoheronL Use of an Old Umbrella. Take an old umbrella frame and wind tho wires with white cloth and suspend by handle from the colling , near the range. It will prove excellent for drying baby's clothes and other little piece If handle Is not of the hook kind a book enn easily bo bored into u straight hnndle. FOL-DE-ROL.

Of all accessories to the feminine i toilette few are of more Importance j than those employed for the dressing of the neck.
A soft shado of green cotton Is effective for tho embroidered odgo nnd dots on a collar of plnk-nnd-whito-strlped linen. The sides of the crown nro covered by a wide, full, Iooso puff of not through which n wide scarf or pink radium is run. Made to accompany laco and lingerie stocks ure seen ties In Inllnlto arloty. Many young girls affect tho solid color Windsor tlos. Ono can huve high crowns or low, broad brims or narrow, but a majority of the huts are moderate In size, though exceptions nro numerous. A novelty Is the new weave In a silk glove. This is almost llko filet net, crossed with bands of the plain weave arranged to go around tho arm. With the simplest of runabout and traveling mohair, serge and linen costumes short embroidered muslin ties are woru In connection with tho stiff linen collars.

AN IDEAL BUNGALOW. Tiny House on Beach Built by Two Girls and a Man. Oao doesn't have to have many hundred dollars to hnve n summer homo in these day.i of sublimated shanties, hardwood-floored tents and nutshell bungalows, says the New York Globe. At many seashore places within fifty miles of Manhattan delightsome littlet vox es of houses hnva been gayly plumped down upon hillocks nnd hummocks overlooking the sea. and thore. it a few feet of space, a couple, a fam ily or a party of bachelor girls or bnch- ! elor men get up their chafing dish and I brass candlesticks, make up couch I beds, swing hammocks and joyously ', live tho simple life that doesn't mean. In their case, either the life shorn of , vivid pleasures or material comforts. At least In one siwt on the Jersey : coast oue can lease for the summer ' season a bit of beach for one's bungn- ; low,' paying $5 for the privilege. Tht ' bungalow may be as luxurious or as. j simple as one's taste and purse dlc- ! täte. As a rxtle, they are mero shells and shelters from rain and sun. The motto of the true biingaiunfer is, "Outdoors was made to live In." and It doesn't matter In the least to him if he sleeps and eats out of doors every fine day and night from May until November. The bungalow In such cases. :s a mere sop to the prejudices of tho folk who cousider that all respectable 'oik need a roof over their heads occasionally. One wee cot. whoso dull red sloping roof and green shingled walls make a gay spot on the white bench, was built by a young architect and his two sturdy young sisters. The whole house was ready ta live In in two weeks from foundation posts to painted shingles, and the cost was less than $300, Including a One brond chimney of red brick nnd a floor of fine narrow boards. Tho piazza posts are of logs with the bark still on. and the entiro front of the little house can be opened so as to make nn outdoor room. This little hoitEO has a large living room and a small kitchen. Couches in the living room serve as beds at night. Chests of drawers the oxact height of tho book shelves, a settee which turns into n table at a touch, wicker chairs and bright rugs make tho living room comfortable and homo-like without crowding iL The little kitchon. with its white paint, blue and white oilcloth and blue dishes nnd window box of red geraniums Is an idea! laboratory for the amateur cook.
