Many hundreds of women assisted in gathering the harvest around Beatrice, Neb. They were lured .to the fields by the offer of board and $3 a day. A farmer went into Beatrice looking for farm hands. Loungers in the town refused to work, and the farmer had to face the possibility of losing part of his crop. He went into a restaurant, and when waiting to be served was struck with the idea of bidding for the waitresses as harvesters. He offered them $3 a day, and every, waitress threw aside her apron and went to the farm. They did such efficient work that other farmers sought ;women, and they drew school teachers, stenogra phers and college girls as well.-New York Press. Lesson in Patience.

"Homesick longing was in her voice. Minnesota was home to her, even after all those yeals. "The children of a missionary fam ily went away to school, and when they came back for vacation, one af ter another spoke of how pleasant it was to be at home, or how sorry they were for other boys and girls who did not have such a home.

They are also transmitted from the churn and milk vessels. Also the proper ripening of. cream depends upon the temperature upon which it is held. If the cream is held at too low _ temperature the bacteria are held in check and hence cannot work normally. Often interfering species of bactera get into the milk and creanm and destroy the effect of those that cause proper cream ripen ing.-Farmers' Home Journal. Buckwheat. Please tell me how to harvest and throsh buckwheat. I have about six acres and want to save the seed. Can it be threshed with the common wheat separator, and can you cut it with the usual wheat binder? A. Y., Sullivan County. Answer-Euckwheat may be cut with a machine, but ought not to be put in large bundles cr tied tightly. It should be cut in the morning when damp to prevent shattering the seed. It is better to let it lie a few days in the swath, then set it up without binding, merely twisting the heads to gether. so as to make it stand till you are ready to thresh. Thresh with machine and be careful that it does not mold.-Indiana Farmer. Squab-House and Flying Shed. This is a pigeon-house and flying pen for squab-raising.

Shawyer, Blaine, Wash. Canada Blue Grass. An inquiry comes from E. T. H., of Henry County, regarding English blue grass. We presume Canada blue grass is intended, as this grass is an importation from Europe. It is a close relation to our Kentucky blue grass, and is quite common in the Eastern States. .It is more slender in stem than the common blue grass. and like this grass does best on good clay soils, where it makes a closer turf and withstands drought better than the Kentucky. It is very valu able as pasture for dairy cattle. The seed should be sown, eight to ten pounds to the acre,.mixed with other kinds of grass seed. Sow very early in spring, so that the melting snows may cover it. Be sure that the seed is fresh and sound.-Indiana Farmer. Pasture For Sheep. A sheep grower says that from May to September sheep shopld have blue grass or clover pasture or some other good grass. Stubble fields, corn fields and aftermaths should furnish the pasture for the balance of the sea son. Nine or ten ewes averaging 100 pounds can feed on one acre of good grass pasture. From September 1 until the ficek goes to winter quarters rape sown two or three pounds per acre in grain at seeding or corn at last cultivation will furnish excellent feed for the sheep. Lambs may be turned into the corn iields by August 10 to 20. They will eat the lower leaves and weeds that may be present, not touching the ears. This is cheap pasture and unless used Iin this way is wasted. By thus using the waste and catch crops, and raising plenty of pasturc the cost of pasture for sheep is ridica lously low.--Indiana Farmer. Milking-Machine Experience. The Wisconsin station has made extended tests with,.a milking ma chine on its dairy herd, and says that a careful study and results of using the machine, as well as reports from many dairymen using it in that State, are favorable. Here are its concdu sionis after all. this' experience. The bulletin says: Experience with machine-milking will lead -to the conclusion that the present development of the maichine, can only be recommended under con ditions where the farmer is able to give personal attention to the opera tion of the machine, or has reliable, intelligent help, who can and Will fol low the directions of the manufactur ers as to care of the machine, manip ulation of the udder, stripping the cows, etc. Where such is the case we can recommend the milking-machine for the general dairy farmer who has a large herd, or for farmers owning smaller herds, e. g., thirty head or perhaps less, who will be able to at tend to the milking of the herd alone or with the help of a boy by means of the machine, and thus avoid keeping extra help for this purpose. We do not feel perfectly safe in recommend ing the milking-machine for pure bred herds," where the maintenance or the development of a maximum dairy production in the cows is of vital im I portance, although we believe that under favorable conditions it may also pruve of value in such herds. The succers of machine-milking will depend largely upon the man op erating the machine' and on his atti tude toward machine-milking. If the machine is given a fair trial and the directions of the manufacturers are carefully followed, machine-milking will, as a general rule, be a success, at least to the extent of approximat ing the results obtained by good hand-milkers and perhaps even im proving on those secured by general farm help. The experiences of practical farm ers and the results of careful, e-chaus tive trials agree in showing that so far as the machine itself is concerned the problem of mechanical milking may now be considered solved, al though minor improvements in the present machine are needed and will doubtless be made before long. Properly cared for and handled the milking-machine will prove a valu able aid in the solution of the hired help problem on many dairy farms, and will become an importgnt factor in the further development of our dairy industry. Water Gaps. The fencing of branches and creeks than run through farms has always been, and I suppose always will be, a vexing question for the farmer to meet. He wants a gate or gap that is inexpensive, strong and lasting. When we think of the damage done nearly every year to bridges and water gaps by high water we see the necessity of studying this question very closely. Three points must be taken into con sideration in the construction of wat er gaps, namely, that after the water gets to a certain height it will either go over, around or under the obstruc tiomn in its way. We must so arrange them that there will be as little as possible in the way of the water to check it; also taking into considera tion the fact that during times of high water a great amount of driftwood and other trash will be carried down by the water to dam up and overflow your field above. I will give a way that has been tried successfully in this locality to meet the water gap question. For the smaller streams a post is set on each side of the stream in line with the fence. These posts should be placed deep in the ground, when the water is low. They need be no more than ten or twelve inches in diameter. Dig the hole some three feet in diameter and fill in .around the post with con crete. Take the bark off the post so the concrete will adhere to- it. Bore two holes through each post, one near top and the other near the bottom. Take an eye made of Iron, with one end bent to make an eye that will take an inch rod and the other end cut a screw for tap; place one of these in each hole and screw up tightly. Then get an Inch rod with a loop to the upper end; just supposing your two posts are twenty-four feet apart take fourteen-foot rails or poles and bore an inch hole In the upper eye, then through the holes in the rails, using washer made of short blocks of wood next to each rail to hold them the proper distance apart. Now slip your rod Into the lower eye. It is necessary for the two eyes to be far enough from the post that the ends of the rails will not strike the post and keep them from swinging, the other side being fixed in a similar manner. The loose ends are laid to gether like a rail fence, being placed down stream. During a time of high water the rails will be pushed down stream and around against each bank, allowing the water to pass through; after the wrater goes down suffciently lay up the rails and your gap is aq good as ever. For larger streams another form of gag Is sometimes used. Take two logs, the first one place In a ditch or trench that has been dug across the bottom of the stream; the ends of this log should extend into the bank on each side. Place the other log six or eight feet below the first and twelve or fifteen inches higher than it. This log should extend well into the banks. since it does not touch the ground except at the ends. A post set on each side of the stream just below this log will help to- hold it in posi tion. Spike poles on these !ogs about three inches apart, the upper ends extending into the bottom of the creek far enough so that no drift can catch on them. Be careful not to get the lower end too high or it will catch the drift wood.-The Indiana Farmer. A Question to Be Considered. "Do you consider plagiarism per missible under any circumstances?"

One or the pretty and attractive fads in Paris which is fast gaining hold here is the wearing of artificial lowers for corsage decorations. This is not for the evening, but for daily use. The flowers are - wonderfully atiral, and really look as though they had just been plucked in the garden or the greenhouse. There are lovely orchids, with a few sprays of maidenhair fern interspersed. Clusters of bluets, with a few of the long, swordlike leaves, make up an other stunning bouquet. Gardenias are used singly or in bunches of three. Carnations of z.11 colors and of the big variety are used singly; so are roses. And so might be enum erated the entire list of the florists' shops. The flower must be selected to harmonize with the color of the costume or with the hat, and there fre the modish woman has half a dozen different kinds of corsage bou quets. The real beauty lies in their freshness, and so .soon as they show the least signs of wear others must be purchased toreplace the old and faded ones. Indeed, the up-to-date woman looks upon the present of a box containing half a dozen bouquets of artificial flowers with as much favor as she has always regarded the finest and freshest of the greenhouse ariety.-New York Tribune. . For l31derly Women. It can be admitted that there are not as many fashions for elderly women as there are for the younger ones, yet the fashions for the former are exclusive and carefully made.

There is no comfort in a high-bone stock, and the stiff collar cannot be consid ered. Very soft Spanish lace for the lowered neck line is'a delight to the elderly woman, who must have ease and comfort. One of the latest crea tions is a soft lace stock, which will take the place of the more youthful arrangements. The stocks are folded nce around the neck and tied in ront oyer a pleated jabot of net. The duchess lace ties are arranged in the same way, or in soft folds with V shape at the throat. For the elderly woman folded tulle is also a very pretty finish and one very much worn at the present time. .The white lace cap is one of the prettiest crea tions, and Is usually a very small af fair, frilled and beribboned with white, black or lavender. Caps look very well on snow white. hair and they must sometimes be worn when the hair Is quite thin. The latest night caps have lace rosettes above each string. They are made of pure white muslin -and are worn a great deal by elderly women who cling to the old-time custom of earing the night head-dress.-Was5h ington Herald. Good Taste in Veils. "The mission of the veil Is to keep the hair in order and to enhance the brilliancy of the complexion," says the Woman's Home Companion. "It should not be striking in itself. Heav ly-spotted nets and lace veils of con spicuous pattern should. be for this reason tabooed. They are trying to rise above their sphere, trying to be something on their own account, and so they conceal the face, and Inci dentally riiin the'eyes. "Nevertheless, it is the veil with the large, conspicuous mesh that fashion Is specially favoring In Paris and New York just now. "For the perfect complexion the best veil Is perhaps the plaizn, fairly large mesh net which' is hardly no ticeable and only serves to keep the hair In place. Most of us, however, require in the hard light of out of doors some simple beautifier, and for us the spots and lines of .the patterned nets are a boon. "The most generally becoming veil has a back figure on a white ground: the white net coming close to the skin heightens Its fairness, while the black[ spots accentuate its brilliancy. A veil of this type is becoming according to the size and arrangement of Its spots. The black chenille dots with a gen erous space between act like the old fashioned 'mouchae,' the touch of black court plaster at the side of the chin or near the outer corner of the eye, so much affected by the clever beauties of- the time of Marie An toinette. When these spots come closely together the white spaces are not sucently .large to do their work and the' effectiveness of the spots Is almost, if not ezftirely, nullified."
