Uncle Sam Produces Only Truly Accurate Maps IM a manufacturing enterprise that is open to all comers the making and publishing of maps Uncle Sam. through his geological survey, competes ;!i such success that he is pretty generally recogniied to be the only pro ducr of truly accurate maps in the

country. As a natural result, he practically monopolizes the business in so f ir as it relates to land areas withla b: own national boundaries. The government maps are bought in large quantities by dealers every v . and. being resold in shops, find tMf ay into the hands of thousands oi dtÜMN who seldom realize that they are purchasing a governmentmad article. But so firmly has the

government established Itscir as a map maker in the minds of persons who know the fundamentals of good maps that the geological survey product is secifiel in many of the calls for bids on big map ordera. Altogether, over half a million maps and map folios are distributed each year by the geological survey, the majority of thfm being sold approxima'ely at MM and the remainder being given away This business is growing constantly, and its educational value in one field alone is Indicated by the estimate of officials of the survey that fully 20 per cent of the maps distributed find their way Into the educational Institutions of the country. In addition the majority of the maps used in school geographies are compiled by commercial publishers from maps made by the survey. The usefuln'?e of the geological survey as a maker of topographic maps to the various branches of the government and to the public is 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 the marine corps of the navy in working out the national defense

THREE PRETTY FROCKS

MODELS HOME DRESSMAKER WILL DO WELL TO COPY. Pussy Willow Taeta Makes Up Into an Effective Costume Girlish Dress for the Warm Weather In Flowered Silk. rwSSJF willow taffeta was used to make, up tin gown, whose quaint pinked edges are reminiscent of the "60s. The fulled skirt is cut ia d-ep scallops on the lower edge, und these in turn are pinked The bodice, consisting mainly of girdle, has the decolletage outlined by a very full ruftie of the taffeta, which, like the kirt. is scalloped and pinked in the edges. Inside of this Is a little tucker of white net and the littl are also of the net. Simplicity Is the keynote of many of the smartest frocks designed for warm weather wear. This girlish dress : of white dotted tulle over a lining of palest blue taffeta. The bodice is severely pi ain. and is trimmed with frills of the tulle Puff od undersleeves of the taffeta extend below the top sleeves The full, faring skirt hangs from beneath a girdle of blue taffeta It is horter in front to disclose the two ruffle of taffeta which finish the hem of the lining One of the prettiest styles which has been introduced in some years. and one most comfortable for the coming season, is the manner of making up the new flowered silks. These have the 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 its relationship to the skirt The gown here was made of heavy faille in pompadour colors of blue and p:nk The skin consisted of a aeries 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 the season is that of having brims becomingly faced with white or biscuit These throw up the tints of the hair and eyes, and immediately catch any rays of sunshine that may be about. 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. Quite a capital notion is a sort of trouser petticoat. This opens from ( waist to hem at the back, and is stepped into, small inner leg pieces being added for this purpose, these serving at tbe umc time to curb the exuberance of a very full cut of some very light material, such as crepe de chine It is exceedingly likely this model will have a notable success, since It Is replete with reason and practicability. It would be a very useful method for the fashioning of ( a black petticoat Say that the petticoat is made of crepe de chine, or the above mentioned double ninon. trimmed with flounces of fin black chantilly lace, each one bordered with a cross way fold of chiffon, a satin ribbon dividing the 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 desired An uncommonly pretty petticoat is made of dellcatel toned taffeta, sliced j op to the knee to form deep tabs, peslloped and bound all around the edges, and mounted over pllsse frills j of net, a dainty festoon of ribbon be- j WORSE SCOURGE THAN WAR Asiatic Cholera Always More Feared Than Any Possible 'nvasion of Arrred Men.

GUEST GUIDE WORTH MAKING

Will Be Found a Great Convenience, Both b te V.sitor and by the Hostess. It Is a good plea to have a guest guide is the pare roots, then the vis iter will see at once the times for meals and the last mail. etc. This will be f.un J a -reut convenience, both to the victor and the hostess. The guides are quit easily made at home and) make a vary dainty ornament for the mantelshelf or the dressing-table. Take a piece of stout cardboard, rule out on it an oblong shape about seven inches by six inches, then rule an in aar shape so that a border an lech and a quarter in width is formed. The cardboard tnide this inner shape can now be cut away with a sharp penknife Now take some chintz, eretonne, poplin, silk or satin. Just whatever is to hand, and lay a piece a little larger than the cardboard frame over it. Then wrh a pair of scissors nick material in the center, and cut so that tbe material will fit over tbe frame shape and be neatly glued at tne back of the frame For this allow sufficient material to go to the back of the frame, and tbe inside corners Ji: fit quite nicely If the mate rial is nicked, then turned under. The color of tbe material should be a fairly light shade, such as buff, cream, pale blue, green or pink; tbe maker will be guided as to the exact shade according to tbe color scheme of the spare room. If plain material is used, s simple little design should be painted on it either by tbe pen-painting method or in Just the ordinary way. At the back of tbe 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. Dinner, 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 have 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 make an uncommon and useful gift for a friend or a good ar tide to make for bazaars; in these cases the spaces for times are left for the purchasers or recipient to fill in for themselves.

Perceptible length of life may be given to all embroidered edgings by running a straight row of close machine sti-ching Just at the head of tbe scallops or points. This Is easiest done in the flat, bat can be done on garments already made up With this treatment the whole inside of a ruffle will often give way before the gdge Judgment has to be used as to the size of thread employed.

"Black death'' usually means bubonic plague, but sometimes It applies to Asiatic cholera. The cholera has been known since before the Christian era. Again and again It swept over tbe world, taking millions to death.

KEEP THE COWS CLEAN

Pure Milk Cannot Be Secured From a Filthy Anima!. Curry Comb and Brush as Essential in Da ry Barn as in Horse Stable Remove Bedding From th Stalls Every Day. The curry comb and brush are Just as essential to the health, comfort and appearance of the cow as they are to the horse. Clean, pure milk csnnot be had from a filthy cow. A well arranged barn and plenty of bedding assist greatly in keeping the cow in a sanitary condition at all times. Iiy the use of good stanchions the cows are kept much cleaner than where they are simply Ued with a rope or halter, as by the use of stanchions the cows are not able to back off and lie down in the manure, as they do with other methods of stabling Straw is usually cheap and plentiful on most dairy farms, and it does n-t pa 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 from the barn to the field or storage pit often, every day or two if possible to prevent it from being a breeding plaee about the barn for flies, disease germs and bad odors which taint the milk. It is a good plan to disinfect the stables occasionally, whether there is any apparent reason for it or not. Tt is not expensive, can do no harm and does much good in the way of de stroying lice and disease germs Where enough cews are kept to make it profitable it is advisable to use milking machines, as we believe milk can be produced much cleaner in this way than can possibly be done by hand milking. Wher- hand milking is necessary see that the hands are always clean before milking, and use a covered pall. Curry and brush the hind parts of the cow well each morning at least half Weil-Kept Dairy Cow. an hour before milking time, which aho"ld always be regular, and rub the udder well with a brash or burlap aack. to remove all din and dust that might get into the milk. Dry, well-drained and well-kept 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 eve b.ng milk will be far from pure. A naturally high, dry and well-drained location is advisable for tbe feed lot during winter and spring, and if it can be graded and stoned it is much better. It is preferable to have tbe feeding pens provided with feed racks, in place of feeding on the ground, as the cow Is a very cleanly animal, and will not readily eat soiled food if it can be avoided. INJURY BY CORN R0OTW0RM Insects Are More or Less Abun .art in All o Corn-Growing States of Mississippi Valley. i By J. TROOP. Purdue Experiment Station.) Numerous letters have been received by this station, concerning two conrroot insects, via., the corn rootworm and the corn roots phis. It Is evident that these Insects are more or less abundant In all of the corn-growing states of the Mississippi valley. Tha corn rootworm 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 sttempt to hold It la check by the application of poisons; It covers too much territory, and. during the period when it does Its Injury, ia concealed beneath the surface of the soil. As one becomes better acquainted with its life history, therefore, the more evident it becomes that the application of good, up-to-date farming methods is the only remedy needed. As the larvae do not feed upon any thing but the corn roots, it is evident thst If a regular rotation of crops is practiced, so that corn is grown on tbe 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 be had from running stream or spring It should come from a deep well that is tVpt clean st at tlms and ml subject to surface drainage, and the water for use in the barnyard or for washing the dairy utensils should be kept free fron foreign matter and taints of all kinds.

STRAWBERRIES ON OLD LAND

White Grubs in Sod of This Nature May Be Killed Out by Wintsr Weather Good Cars Pays On many farms If a strawberry plantation Is to be had it must be from an old meadow. If this la tbe case, the fall ia 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 the land Just before 'old weather set in. It might Wid 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 the seil was heavy. In the early spring I plowed and disked again and planted a crop that needs cultivation, so that by setting time in tbe following spring tbe strawberry plants could be safely aet out. This cannot be done for good results before, because of the quantities of white grubs found in s soil of this nature Most 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 that the first and second crops, handled with a little care and attention, gave me a good price for the labor spent in this long preparation of the sail. FACTS REGARDING WEED SEED North Da''-ta Experiment Station Makes Interesting Test With Different Noxious Planta. In a weed experiment at the North Dakota experiment station, seeds of French weed, green foxtail, kvrtghead. wild mustard, wild buckwheat, and wild oats were planted at depths of one. two, three, five, seven and ten inches Tbe greatest depth from which French weed came up was tD Inches. gtCc foxtail, three Inches; kinghead, mostly from two and three baches, 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 tbe one and two-bach depths no green foxtail, a few kinghead from the one to five-inch depths; no wild mustard or wllo buckwheat, and a few wild oats from the two-Inch depth. lu five years the seeds were dug up. Non of the seeds at the one and two-inch depths were lefL 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 the 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 burled ten Inches grew, and one-fourth of those from the seven-inch depth. All of the wild oats and wild buckwheat w er dead.
