Uncle Sam Produces Only Truly Accurate Maps IN a manufacturing enterprise that is open to all comers the making and publishing of maps Uncle Sam. through his geological survey, competes such success that he is pretty generally recognized to be the only pro duc-r of truly accurate maps in the

country As a natural result, he practically monopolizes tbe business in so far as it relates to land areas within bit on national boundaries. The governmeut maps are bought In large quantities by dealers every ye and. being resold in shorM. find their way into the hands of thousands of citizens who seldom realize that tho are purchasing a governmentmade article. But so (Irmly has the

l t i ul lihhed !'- '.' as a Dap maker in tbe minds of persons who know the fundamentals of good maps that the geological surrey product la specified in many of the calls t r S on big map orders. Altogether, over half a million maps and map folios are distributed each year by the geological surrey, tbe majority of them being sold approximately at cost and the remainder being given away This business is growing constantly, and Its educational value in one field alone la indicated by the estimate of officials of Ute survey that fully 20 per cent of the maps distributed find their way Into the educational institutions of the country In addition tbe majority of the maps used In school geographies are compiled by commercial publishers from maps made by the surrey The usefulness of the geological survey as a maker of topographic maps to the various branchea of the government and to the public la practically unlimited. Of great value in connection with boundary matters to the state department and in connection with delivery routes to the post office department, scrupulously accurate maps are obviously indispensable to the war department and to tbe marine corps of the navy in working out the national d-fense

THREE PRETTY FROCKS

MODELS HOME DRESSMAKER WILL OO WELL TO COPY. Pussy Willow Taffeta Makes Up Into an Effective Costume Girlish Dress for th Warm Weather In Flowered 8ilk. Pussy willow taffeta was used to make up this gown, whose quaint pinked edges are reminiscent of the Ufa The fulled kirt Is cut in deep scallops on the lower edi, and these in turn are pinked The bodice, consisting mainly of girdle, has the decolle tage outlined b a very full ruffle of the taffeta, which, like tbe skirt. la scalloped and pinked u the edges. Inside of this is a little tucker of white net and the little puffed sleeves are alto of the net. Simplicity 1 the keynote of many of the mi) art. -st frocks designed for warm weather wear. This girlish dress is of white dotted (fallt over a lining of palest blue taffeta. Tbe bodice Is severely pi a i n, and is trimmed with frills or the tulle Puffed undersleeves of the taf feta extend below the top sleeves The full, flartng skirt hangs from beneath a girdle of blue taffeta. It is .horter in front to disclose the two ruifle.i of taffeta which finish the hem of the lining. One of the prettiest has been introduced in and one most comfortable for the coming season, is the man ner of making up the new flowered silks. These have tbe silk for a skirt -the new wide skirt which of itself has an air of quaintness after the recent infliction of hobblesand with this is worn a dainty net or lace blouse with only a girdle or suspenders to prove ita relationship to tbe skirt. Tbe gown here was made of heavy faille in pompadour colors of blue and pink The skirt cons'sted of a series of graduated circular strips and the girdle was boned and designed much on the style of a peasant bodice The ecru blouse was net with lower portion of lace. One of the pretty and becoming hat fads of tbe season Is that of having brims becomingly faced with white or biscuit. These throw up the tints of tbe hair and eyes, and immediately catch any rays of sunshine that may be abouL The all white hat adorned with white fly-away wings or blanched flowers Is also having a great inning LATEST IDEA IN UNDERWEAR Trouser Petticoat Is One of the Most Comfortable of Garments Pretty Decoration in Vogue.

It would be a rery useful method for the fashioning of a black petticoat Say that the petticoat Is made of crepe de chine, or the above mentioned double nlnon, rimmed with flounces of flne black rhantilly lace, each one bordered with cross-wsy fold of chiffon, a satin rib bon dividing tbe two lower flounces and heading the topmost, with at the one side a Catherine wheel chou and ends Of course different colors of materials could be used If so d sired An uncommonly pretty petticoat Is made of delicatel) -toned taffeta, sliced up to the knee to form dcp tabs scalloped and bound all around the edces and mounted over pllase frills of net. a dainty festoon of ribbon beWORSE SCOURGE THAN WAR Asiatic Cholera Always More Feared Than Any Possible 'nvasion of Arrr.el Men.

GUEST GUIDE WORTH MAKING Will Be Found a Great Convenience, Botn by the Visitor and by the Hostess. It Is a good plan to have a guer.t guide In the spare room, then the visitor wl'.i se.- st once tbe times for meals and the last mall, etc. This will be found a great convenience, both to the visitor and the hostess. The guides sre .juite easily made at home and make a very dainty ornament for the mantelshelf or tbe dressing-table Tan- . . tont cardboard, rule out on it an oblong shape about seven inches by six Inches, then rule an Inner shape so that a border an inch and a quarter in width Is formed. The cardboard inside this inner shape can n w be cut away with a sharp penknife Now take some chintz, eretonne, poplin silk or satin, just what vajf M fsa hand, and lay a piece a little larger than the cardboard frame over it. Then w ith a pair of scissors nick material in the center, and cut so that the material will fit over the frame bhape and be neatly glued at the back of the frame. For this allow sufficient material to go to tbe back of the frame, and the Inside corners will fit quite nicely If the material is nicked, then turned under. The color of the material should be a fairly light shade, such as buff, cream, pale blue, green or pink; the maker will be guided as to the exact shade according to the color scheme of the spare room. If plain material is used, a simple little design should be painted on lt either by the pen-painting method or in Just the ordinary way. At the back of the frame glue a fairly stout piece of paper to exactly fit the opening of the frame. On this paper should be written the words: Breakfast. Lunch. Tea, Din ner. and Last Mail," and the time for each event to be written opposite to each word. The guide can hang up or stand; if the latter, a back will hare to be fixed on. but for this purpose it is better that the guide should hang up. Simply glue to the back of the frame the ends of a pretty pink or blue loop of ribbon large enough to hang up the guide by. This guide makes an uncommon and useful gift for a friend or a good article to make for bazaars; in these cases the spaces for times are left for the purchasers or recipient to fill in for themselves.

This Is easiest done in the Hat. but can be done on garments already made up With this treatment the whole Inside of a ruffle will often give way before the edge. Judgment has to be u-d as to the size of thread employed. No r0 ia coarse enough for heavy embroideries, higher numbers for finer grades The stitching is not noticeable after laundering. gates far more dangerous than ever Itussia or tbe Balkan allies could be Tbe disease must not be confused wirb bubonic plague, another product of the Orient Their only similarity Is the high death rate and shortness of duration In the individual case.

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN

Pure Milk Cannot Be Secured From a Filthy Animal. Curry Comb and Brush as Essential in Dairy Barn as in Horse Stable Remove Bedding From ths Stalls Every Day. Thn curry comb aud brush are Just as essential to the health, comfort and appearance of tbe cow as they are to the horse. Clean, pure milk cannot be had from a filthy cow. A well arranged barn and plenty of bedding assist grea.il in keeping the cow In a sani'ury condition at all times. Hy the use of good stanchions the cows are kept much cleaner than where they are simply tied with a rope or halter, aa hy the use of stanchions the cows are not able to back off and lie down in tho manure, as they do with other methods of stabling. Htraw g usually cheap and plentiful on most dairy farms, aud it does not pay to neglect to bed the cow well. The bedding should be removed from the stalls every day, and fresh litter provided The manure should be hauled frou the ban to the Jeld or storage pit often, every day or tw o if possible to prevent It from being a breeding place about the barn for flies, disease germs and bad odors which taint tbe milk. It is a good plan to disinfect the Ftables occasionally, whether there Is any apparent racn f jr it or not. It is not expensive, can do nc harm and does much ajood In the way of destroying lice and disease germs Where enough cows are kept to make it profitable it is advisable to use milking machines, as we believe milk can be produced much cleaner la this way than can possibly be done by hand milking. Where hand milking is necessary see that the hands are always clean before milking, and use a covered pail. Curry and brush the hind parts of the cow well each morning at least half Well Kept Dairy Cow. an hour before milking time, which should always be regular, and rub tbe udder well with a brush or burlap sack, to remove all dirt and dust that might get into the milk. Dry. well-drained and well k pt feed lots assist greatly In keeping the cows clean, hence, also in producing clean milk. Where cows are compelled to stand all day in a wet or muddy feed lot. unless much care is used, the evening milk will be far from pure. A naturally high, dry and well-drained location la advisable for the feed lot during w inter and spring, and if it can be graded and stoned It is much better. It is preferable to have tbe feeding pens provided w ith feed racks, in place of feeding or. the ground, as the cow la a very cleanly animal, and will not readily eat soiled food if it can be aroided. INJURY BY CORN R0OTW0RM Inaects Are More or Lees Abundant in All of Corn-Growing States of Misaiaaippi Valley. i By J TROOP. Purdue Experiment 8ta tion.) Numerous letters have been recelred by this station, concerning two cornroot Insecta, viz.. the corn rootworm and the corn rootaphis. It is erldent that these insects are more or less abundant in all of the corn growing1 states of the Mississippi ralley. The corn root worm has destroyed millions of dollars worth of corn dur Ing the last thirty years for farmers, and yet It is one of the easiest species of Insects to control, when once the farmer becomes acquainted with Its habits. Like most Insects of this class, It is useless to attempt to hold lt in check by the application of poi sons; lt covers too much territory, and. during the period when it does Its injury, is concealed beneath the surface of the soil. As one becomes better acquainted with Its life history, therefore, the more evident lt becomes that the application of good, up to date farming methods is the only remody needed. Aa the larvae do not feed upon any thing but the corn roots. It is evident that if a regular rotation of crops is practiced, so that corn Is jrrown on the same soil only once or twice In three or four years, there will be no chance for the insects to Increase. Water Supply for Cows. In the matter of water supply for the cows if it cannot he had from running stream or spring It should Come from a deep well that Is sVpt clean at nil times and n if subject to stir fain drainage, and the water for Use In tho barnyard or for washing the dairy utensils should be kept free from foreign matter and taints of all kinds.

STRAWBERRIES ON OLD LAND

Whits Grubs in Soil of This Nature May Bs Killed Out by Winter Weather Good Care Paya On many farms If a strawberry plantation Is to be had it must be from an old meadow. If this is the case, the fall is a good time to prepare such a place. A few years ago I foil-wed out this plan, and had excellent results, says a writer in an exchange. I plowed tho land Just before 'old weather aet In. It might Wide Hedgerow System. have been better still to plow earlier in the season and after a good rain and sow to sweet corn for forage later on; then in the fall replow and allow the land to be rough all winter if tho seil was heavy. In tbe early spring I plowed and disked again and planted a crop that needs cultivation, so that by setting time in the following spring the strawberry plants could be safely set out This cannot be done for good results before, because of the quantities of white grubs found in a soil of this nature. Moat of these grubs were destroyed by the winter and the following cultivated crop, and the soil was left in ideal condition for strawberries. So good was it thst the first and second crops, handled with a little care and attention, gave me a good price for tha labor spent in thla long preparation of the ssil. FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED North Dakita Experiment Station Makea Interesting Test With Different Noxious Planta. In a w eed expertmeut at the North Iakota experiment station, seeds of French weed, green foxtail, kinghead, wild mustard, wild buckwheat, and wild oats were planted at depths of one, two. three, five, seven and ten inches The greatest depth from which French weed came up was two Inches; green foxtail, three Inches; kinghead. mostly from two aud three inches, a few from five inches; wild mustard, three Inches, wild buckwheat, three Inches, wild oats, a few from five inches. The next year a few French weeds came up from the one and two-Inch depths; no green foxtail; a few kinghead from the one to fire-inch depths, no wild muBtard or wild buckwheat, and a few wild oats from the two inch depth. In fire years the seeds were dug up. NtMss of the seeds at the one and two-Inch depths were left A few of the French weed seeds at the seven and ten Inch depths grew. Of the green foxtail, one seed from the five-Inch depth grew, and one-sixteenth of those buried ten inches germinated. Of tbe kinghead. only a few of the seeds from the ten-Inch depth grew. Of the wild mustard, a few of the three-Inch depth and nearly half of those buried ten Inches grew, and one fourth of those from the seven-Inch depth. All of the wild oats and wild buckwheat ass da were dead. SOMETHING NOVEL IN PLOWS Rotary Cutters Stir Subsoil to Considerable Depth Without Elevating Surface to Any Extent.
