Every farm should have a workshop The building taay be large or small It is not necessary to have it very expensive. The tools may be few or many, but what there are should be good. No man can do good work with poor tools, and good tools cost tut little more than poor ones A building 10 by 12 feet will answer for with a good chimney, forge, anvil. hem h in one corner. If this is fitted with a good chimney, forge anvil, hammer, tongs an 1 good steel , ise, onslderable blat kfniithing work can he done to adv.in'age There should U a small stove to tu.tke the shop comfortable in winter. This i very Important, because there i more time to work in a shop in the winter, and you tan't work with black-:-rn; h's tools In a frosty atmosphere. Carpenter's work Is different. A . arpenters bench may be placed against the Bide of the building and cohered with a shed roof, for, if necessary, carpenter work may be done outside if you have a covered place for the bench and tools A much better arrangement is to have a blacksmi'h shop in one end of a larger building and a carpenter shop in the other end. with a partition between. There should be no shavings lying about a blacksmith shop; there is too much danger from fire. For another reason, the two kinds of work may not Jibe well together. It Is comparatively easy to keep a black-f-mith shop in order, but there is a great deal of litter about a woodworking shop, and a farmer never finds time to keep such things neatly In order In buying woodworking tools the best are the cheapest It la poor economy to buy cheap tools. Not many are needed for common repair work, and a good kit may be had for a fewdollars Instruction Nooks on mechanics mar help a good deal The principles may he studied o.it and applied in the -hop The boy on the farm fake up .i h things asily and often make good mechani. s Agricultural Kpitoinist Horses Increasing in Value. A table has !.en compiled from the statl-ucs of th Census Bureau and tr.e Department of Agriculture, which sh'ws that the rise Jn the market alue of hort"- has been out of all tr .portion in the last fifteen years to ir- increase in their number in the i i.ued Statei From 1S9: to 19S the l'te jM'pulation. so to speak, inreased ;!,"Jn,i"Mi, or 23 per cent In the same perl4 the Raln in the numlier of human inhabitants was 21.979,itoo, or 33 per e;n. Hut the Increase In the alue of the horses in this country was no les-, than JST.I.JOOQ, or SS per rent. These facts will astonish many persons whi have supposed that the giowth of the automobile Interest has t.een very adverse to the horse breedt rs and to the market demand for horses. On the contrary, the prices obtained for gd horses, especially for heavy draft animals of blood and stamina, have iisen far beyond the hopes of horfe dealers a few years apo Horses are worth about 50 per tent more in proportion to their number than they were in 1S93. Women and Poultry. There is no field open to women tota that Is C crowded than the poultry field; none that offers as good returns for one's labor; none that affords mj much freedom when taken as a voi.itlon. and none that makes one so yearly Independent of other Some' f our best planned poultry 'arms, as! well as our best paying ones, are the' outgrowth of woman's skill and Ingen-J ntty in planning, and her financial! ability in conducting the enterprse Most women show a qualification for neatness about poultry of whlrh men aro occasionally void, and as cleanli nose Is an important factor, she often outstrips our "lords of creation" In results obtalnod. The care of poultry la productive of good health to women engaged therein, giving them sutflclent exercise In the open air. and just

Garden.

enough care and responsibility to . make their work Interesting and to , make them feel their importance Tho field for women is almost unllutitiHl, and It pays her better profits than sou can reasonably expect from most other business vonturos. Commercial Poultry. Judging Dairy Cattle. The appointment of men who breed one kind of cattle to Judge at the fairs i another kind is not a healthy practice. The broods all differ in certain peculiarities. Suppose a breeder of Ayrshires is appointed to judge Jerseys. Such a Judge will he almost sure to 'discount Jerseys with the back much swayed, as the Ayrahires have straight 1 backs. On tha other hand, suppose a breeder of Jersoys is asked to Judge Ayrshires He is not inclined to discount the swayback in the Ayrshire as the truo breeder of Ayrshires would , discount the same. It Is different with the men who teach at the agri- : cultural colleges, it is their duty to 'study all the pedigreedj breeds. Pro- ! feesor Thomas Shaw. Horse Notes. Lack of exercise or overwork or aching muscles will cause a horse to paw in the stable. If a horse Is not used regularly turn him loose In the paddock Tor a part of each day. Give the tired and hardworking horse a roomy box stall and a good deep bed of dry straw to rest In. During the hot months a small lot near the stables with a good, smooth, firm sod where the work horses can be turned loose for the night after the evening meal and grooming is ideal and will prolong their usefulness. Farm Journal. Right Time to Pick Apples. Apples intended for cold storage should not be allowed to become too ripe on the tree. When an apple Is fully grown, highly colored, but still hard, it is In prime condition to be picked and stored. It has then obtained its highest market value because it is most attractive in appearance and best in quality. If picked before entirely ripe apples deteriorate more rapidly, and it is best to allow an apple to become a trifle overripe than to pack it in an immature state. Many people have the erroneous opinion that apples should be picked before fully ripe In order to keep well in cold storage, but this is a mistake. Testing Breeds for Milk. In testing several breeds of cows the Virginia Experiment Station found that "in profits on milk the Holsteins led with $4.92 tier Individual per month, the grades were second with Ji.1'7 The most profitable cow was Buckeye IeKol. who milked twentyone months, gave 12,4. 4 pounds of milk and 524 24 pounds of butter. The profit on the milk was $201 0i and on the butter 541.51 " Keep Chickens Under Control. It is impossible to raise many chickens successfully and let them run on the range at will. They must be where they are under control. Wild fowls may get along after a fashion when left to themselves, but high bred domestic birds need a manager to do most of their thinking Tor them. NOTES OF THE DAIRY. Buttermilk Is a most wholesome article of diet; the lactic acid in it is veiy beneficial to the stomach. Cows must be kept in good working condition or the game is a losing one If cows are in low condition all sorts of trouble may be expected at calving ttme If they have been obliged to wallow through snow and mire and cold, you can expect the calves to come every way but the right way. and some cows may abort A check in the growth of the young dock is a loss that cannot be regained Save every heifer calf from firstclass butter-making cows. Weed out and build gip the dairy, then ou may expect stWcess. See that the young stock have no lice on them when they are put In pasture. If any lice are found, use some good non-poisonous dip and disinfectant. (let one of the new, covered milk pails, then practice milking into It. You will have to pay strict attention to your business, or you will have more milk on the outside of your pail than you will on the Inside. When a cow Is a little off, never put her milk In with the rest. Just because a butter Jar Is made of stone la no reason to think that It does not need thorough washing. Wash well, scald and air till It smells as sweet as the morning dew Sometimes water pipes become stopped, so that the cows cannot get a drink. Take a turn that way every now and then to make sure that everything Is working all right. The advice not to permit mold to accumulate In the dark, damp corners of the cow barn is pretty good, but better advice is to have no dark, damp corners in the cow barn Be sure that the dairy cows get as much water as they need. They require a good deal. Out of His Line. Western Relative- -Well. Wendell, what was the store today? Little Boston Boy Itqu'ly.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS?

Superstitions That Have a Powerful Hold on Men and Women. Six weeks after you hear the first katydid look for the IrosL Blow out the candle, and if tho wick continues long to smoulder, look for had weather. If it goes out quickly the weather will be fair. Whon you hear tho first frogs In tho spring you may know tho frost Is out of tho ground. The lust Friday of each month Is the almanac index for the next month. If the weather bo fair the month will be likewise, if foul, so will the month bo. If It storms the first Sunday in iho month it will storm evury Sunday in the month. When a person kills a snake he does well to consider what kind of weather lie would like. If ho hangs the snake up. It will rain; if he buries It the wenther will be fair. Rub a cat's back the wrong way. and If you see the sparks it Is a sign of cold weather. The bones of rheumatic persons ache when a storm Is brewing. When you find tea grounds Hon ting In your cup you know that you aro going to have company. If the grounds are soft it Is a woman who Is coming: if hard a man. If the grounds are long the person coming Is tall; if short the visitor will be short. If you dream of falling and are awakened by the fancied jar of landing it is a sign that you are going to be ill. If, however, you awake while you are still in midair you may be assured ou will continue in good health. To dream of a funeral is a sign of a wedding. To dream of a wedding Is a sign of a funeral. I? you dream of snakes it is a sign you have an enemy. Let a young woman pin a four-leaf clover over the door, and the first unmarried man who comes in the door will be the one she Is to marry. Sleep with a piece of wedding cake under your pillow for three nights in succession, and whatever you dream on the third night will come to pass. Have you white marks on your nails? Put your hands together and say this rhyme while in succession you touch finger-tips, beginning with the thumb: A friend, a foe. a cift. a bean, a Journey you go." Notice on which linger nails the marks are and you will thus gain some inkling of i your fortune. Born on a Monday, fair of face. Born on a Tuesday, full of God's grace ; Born on a Wednesday, merry and glad: Born on a Thursday , sour and s.id. Born on a Friday, godly siven.

So there's the week an i the end on't To cut the finger nai!- on Sunday morning is a sign you will d some thing you are ashamed of before the ' week is out. Pass me salt. past me sorrow. It used to be a prttty sure sin that a man was conceited If h went about with his hat brim turned up in front If the bottom of your foot i ches you may know that you are to step on strange lands. Put the wrong foot out of bed first when you get up In the mornint; and you will be cross all day. Alw lys get up with the right foot forem st.

To find a horse shoe in the road Is a sign of good luck Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wne. When you see a ''looting star, if you can saw Monev i fore the week's out,'' three times before i is lost sight of. you will have m no- money before the week is out.

I crows have been considered hirl ot ill omen The natives of l-ilia believe that elephants have a re Kion and form of worship.

In France it is believtd that the settling of a white pigeon upon a chimney I a sign of speedy death for some one in the house There is superstition among the nejrroe of the South that to meet a frog is a lucky incident, indicating that the one thus favored is about to receive money from so.u. unexpected quarter.

Woman's Sphere.

Life's Journey. As wo speed outof youth's sunny station O The track sooms to shlno in tho light. But It suddenly 'shoots over chasms Or sinks into tunnels of night. And the hearts that were brave In the morning Are filled with repining and foars As they pause at the City of Sorrow Or pass through the valley of tears. But the road of this perilous Journey The hands of the Master has made; With all its discomforts and dangers. We need not be sad or afraid. Paths leading from light to darkness. Ways plunging from gloom to despair, Wind out through the tunnels of midnight To fields that are blooming and fair. If you pause at the City of Trouble, Or wait in tho valley of tears. Be patient, tho train "!!! move onward, And rush dovn the track of the years. Whatever the place is you seek for. Whatever your game or your quest. You shall come at the last with rejoicing To the Beautiful CItjT of Rest. You shall store all your baggage of worries, You shall feel perfect peace In this realm, You shall sail with old friends on fair waters, With joy and delight at the helm. You shall wander in cool fragrant gardens With those who have loved you the best. And the hopes that were lost In life's journey You shall find In the City of Rest. Elln Wheeler Wilcox. NEW STYLES BORROWED FROM THE SEVENTIES Modes That Ruled Forty Years Ago Are In Vogue Again. Curious as it may seem, the predominating influences at work among the new styles are those borrowed from the fashions of the eighteen seventies and eighties, says Mrs. Clara E. Sitncox In The Delineator. I say "curious" because there could hardly be an uglier, more Impossible period for the designer to draw on than those awful eighties. You remember the little tight-fitting, narrow-chested l.asujes, the bouffante draperies over the hips, the scant underskirts and the foolish bits of lace and ribbon, or frince and beadwork. that passed for true elegance in those unenlightened davs. Yet with ah their flagrant disregard of the laws of simplicity and restraint and beauty they have furnished us with the basis for some really lovely things. The fishwife skirt and the laveuse tonic, which were truly terrible when hips were huge and waists were wasplike, are positively charminc In combination with the present siihciifitt. The overskirt is caucht up across the front and allowed to trail downward toward the bock quite as it used to do thirty years ago. Tho underskirt is generally plaited, but instead of the formidable array of organ plpo plaits that used to delight the eye of our mothers and grandmothers we content ourselves with a simple kilted skirt that falls in straight. Hat lines around the feet. I saw a great many on the other side with the underskirt of one material and the fishwife tunic of another. They are especially good for the semi-dressy trotteur a street toilet that can be worn between seasons without a wrap. It is a youthful looking style, and one that promises to have an Immense vogue. Abroad they are being made in serge, in bufellne another name for whip cord In n new diagonal worsted that Is known as Alma Victoria, in wool crepe, fllettc and cashmere. The retroussee tunic, as it is called, is reallv a welcome innovation among the gowns of the serge category, for the plain narrow skirt in a heavy material has rather the effect of a blanket on women who have succeeded in eliminating their hips. What Every Woman Should Know. A firm, smooth safety-pin is much better than an ordinary bodkin for running in drawstrings, especially for thin or lacy material. Before sweeping a painted or a hardwood floor, go over it with a damp newspaper, pushing it along with the broom. The best material for kitchen aprons is the dark blue or brown denim of which men's overalls are made. It should be made without gores and it does not require Ironing. If you want good material for a pillow, "take regular cotton batting, pull Into pieces two Inches square, lay the pieces In a pan, put In the oven and brown on both sides. The cotton will remain light when the pillow is m use. Housekeepers would find it a great convenience If they would take n common tin or granite Jolly-cake pan and place It over one of the holes on their cook-stoves. If a hot iron Is wanted In a hurry, put It In tho tin and turn a pan over it and it will heat In half tho time as when placed on the top of the stove In the usual way The New Ideu Woman's .Magazine. Health and Beauty Hints. Put hot flannels over the seat of neuralgic jmln and renew frequently. Buttermilk is good for the removal of freckles, tan and butternut stains. A change of shoes and stockings completely will be found as soothing as anything for tlrod feet. A bad bruise enn be eased by applying turpentine. This Is also excellent If one has run a rusty nail Into the Cesh. It is said that chewing pieces of cinnamon bark gives relief to sensitive teeth and gums For the sensitiveness brought about by fruits.

cleaning the teeth wit hprectpltatod chalk and water Is satisfactory. The brush must be soft. Stout people should limit the amount of potatoes and sugur they oat. as these articles of food favor the deposit of fat underneath the skin. Dry toast, loan meat, stowed fruit and fish are suitable foods in treating obesity, and rich, fat. sweot and greasy dtshos ought to be avoided. To breathe deeply Is to stimulate the heart and the circulation. It menus a full, high chest and broad shoulders. It means practical Immunity from the dangers Incurred by exposure. It means a good carriage and a well-poised head. And best of all. It means perfect physical health.

The Main Object. "The main object of dinner and after-dinner conversation seems to be to take away tho reputations of those who are absent." said n well known social leader, on her return from one of these social functions, and If the victim is in public life tho lie which ripples round the festive board, enJoyed by the women and later discussed In its graver aspects by the men. may smirch his name indelibly, so readily is evil believed of those In power. It goes without saying that the person discussed is never present, nor does he often hear a breath of the rumor that means death to his career and reputation, until the cloud bursts at the moment his enemies planned it should, and the 'other side' wins its point, for strategy is ever behind such social slanders. The old saying that 'truth rises,' etc., is but little comfort to the one defamed; for 'truth' In a political or social campaign seems slower than molasses In cold weather, whon burled beneath a chilly avalanche of untruth. " New York Tribune. A Girl's Preparedness. Thoro Is something very pitiful about a girl. She wears calico, but talks knowingly about the latest styles In silks. Her home is furnished plainly, but she knows the latest styleä In furniture; she knows how the silverware should be arranged at dinners, the latest stitch for the marking of monograms on the finest table damask, the etiquette to be observed at a dinner, a reception or a ball, although she never attended anything more than a neighborhood party In her life. Her father's monthly income Is not as large as the pin money a rich girl would spend in a day. but she knows what the rich girl should wear and buy to be in touch with the times. She is. in short, prepared at any time to marrv a rich man and becomo a - h '; leader. Atchison Ulobe. Teaches Women Farming. Mrs. Victoria Woodhull Martin, the American widow of an English banker, has a large English estate, which she has divided into plots and is trying to induce the village women to enter into agriculture. A clubuouse for the women and Gredon Norton College, where they may study the subject, are also established by her to Improve the condition of the village women. i The Correct Proportions, j The following are the correct measi urements of a woman weighing 130 I pounds, uncorseted. according to the (standards of the Greeks: Waist, 27 ; Inches; bust, 34 inches: upper arm. 13 inches: thigh, 25 Inches; calf, 14 'Inches; ankle.

A New Cellar. A surprise has come to light in the new cravat, wbteh has appeared to add to the myriads already at the disposal of madame. This last addition is intended to wear with simple collarless gowns, and the new bit of neckwear is nothing more nor hu than a leather dog collar. Cretonne Newness.

Small flowers, like pansles, may be dipped In bunches, roses and large flowers separately. Yellow for Brides. So popular is yellow that brides are throwing superstition to the winds. FOL-DE-ROL. Fashion Is trying to drive out the button from the full-dress scheme, as far as it Is possible to do. The long black silk coat, which Is again modish. Is one of the generally useful fashions of the hour. Many of the prettiest serge yachting suits, Instead of being nil white, have black moire collar and cuffs. Collars and buttons made from black satin are considered smart on linen coats of both white and colors. A pleasant change Is made by finishing the Dutch collar at the front with twe Uny rosettes and a long tab. A new pongee ribbon In dashy designs is intended not so much for hat decorations as for women's neckties. Corset covers and chemises fit almost straight across the front, thoro being little or no fullness at the top. The restaurant coat of supple cloth, with its flowing Spanish or Japanese lines. Is superseded by the Jotted coat. Purses and shopping bags of bronze leather are among the latest novelties. They bid fair to be exceedingly popular
