For Hot Days
JUST the newest and loveliest things
In millinery for the all too brief
midsummer have been placed be-
fore the fascinated eyes of the devotee
to outdoors and fashion ’ Black and
rwhite or the coldest of colors lace and
more lace these are the paramount
Ideas that the modistes have put into
triumphs of execution Nothing was
-ever Imagined for the dog days love-
lier than the hat ' of white chip In
-which the contour of the brim Is out-
lined with (two rolled folds of black
-Velvet placed on the under side About
the crown are set large roses made
-of fine princess lace and -set In dark
green foliage These ' flowers i of
tace are exquisite So far the lily and
-rose have been made and no other
blossoms can be more beautiful than
they Wide Val edging for the rosea
and all-over patterns for the lillles are
destined to' be the favorite but
If one possesses a long purse or has
ome yards of old lace please Imag-
ine roses made of a duchess lace I The
finest of silk covered wire has to be
sewed In to hold the petals or simu-
lated petals In place For the roses a
wreath can he managed without cut-
ting the lace but for lilies the petals
LINEN DRESS
A simple seml-prlncess dress Is
hown here that Is a style specially
wulted to linen The panel front that
extends the whole' length Is attached
to the sides by wide wrapped seams
The back Is not a panel but the bodice
nd skirt have slight fulness at waist
The turn-over oollar and cuffs are of
embroidered lawn
Materials required: 6 yards 40

i Bracelets Over Gloves
Few women seem to realize that
bracelets over gloves are almost or
quite as bad as rings over gloves If
ene wears a bracelet with long gloves
at all It should be worn under them
bat If possible It should not be worn
must be shaped unless each Is made
separately by a lacemaker No one
will be so foolish as to cut up fine
hand made laces Lilies therefore are
destined to be made of the best ma-
chine made laces But as this season
will not see the last of the lace flow-
ers It Is worth while to make separate
petals of rennalsance of other fine
lace for those who know how
Numbers of hats in hair braid or
hemp or fine chip are overlaid with
wide chantllly lace Black over white
chip or white over black Is all there
is to tell Plumes pompons and
aigrettes finish them these too In
black or white '
The small drooping brim round hat
continues the favorite for motoring
and general wear when the matter of
protection claims the first attention
Black and white striped ribbon and
button roses made of straw like that
in the hat leave nothing to be de-
sired for such a model In the picture
the hat is of silver-blue straw the
flowers of the same and a long ad-
Justlble veil of white chiffon Is an ao-
cessory to be put on and oft at pleas-

GLOVES MATCH "THE COSTUME
No More Whits Ones Are Worn and
Where They 8eem Necessary
Cream Color Is Used
No more white gloves! Gloves
match the costume or where they
ought to be white according to all
social cqnons they are cream Suede
slippers too match the costume and
the stockings with them are— flesh
colored!
Vanity bags of gold clasp now like
a flat purse The meshed bags are no
longer plain but are In two metals —
gold and gunmetal or exldlzed silver
and copper — Interwoven In a quaint
pattern
Tortoise-shell Is made up Into every-
thing from powder cases to umbrella
handles and there Is a great deal of
gunmetal and Jet seen owing to the
king’s death and the publio mourning
that Paris seems to have assumed with
England
For the same reason orchids real
and artificial are on view everywhere
since they were Edward’s favorite
flower
Finally wooden beads The fad has
become a craze and wooden beads In
black and colors are as thick as lo-
custs during the plague In Egypt
Silk Fishnet
If In your shopping tours you are
fortunate enough to see a pleoe of
silk fishnet buy It
The coars mesh offers little cover-
ing but much decoration when used
over a contrasting shade of supple
material
In gray or the favorite twine color'
It allows almost any combination For
entire turbans for huge bows or for
transparent scarfs to be thrown over
gorgeous evening costumes fishnet Is
a valuable asset In the up-to-date
woman’s wardrobe' -
A Cushion Edge
Scallops — large shallow scallops
done In coarse buttonhole stitch with
linen floss or heavy cotton — form the
attractive edge of a cretonne sofa pil-
low It Is advisable to use the natural
linen color of the background as It
will be found more effective than the
more brilliant colors of the flowers
COTTON WILT LOSS
Amount Involved Probably More
Than $2000000 Annually
Extended Variety Tests on Infected
Fields Show That Large Boll 8orts
Are More 8usceptlble to Dis-
ease Than Other Plants
It Is very difficult to estimate the
total loss from cotton wilt The In-
jury varies from the death of a few
plants to the destruction of hundreds
of acres Several factors are to be
considered In estimating the loss We
must add to the actual shortage of
the crop In the spots where the cot-
ton dies: (1) A diminished yield of
the surrounding cotton due to the
dwarfing of the plants from partial In-
fections (2) a lessened Income to
the farmers on account of the neces-
sity of planting on Infected land some
less profitable crop) such as corn or
of throwing cotton out of cultivation
altogether (3) the Increased cost of
cultivation' of wllt-lnfected spots due
to the foothold obtained by crab-grass
nut-grass cockleburs and other weeds
after the death of the cotton (4) a
depreciation In the market value of
wilt-infected land
These losses probably amount to
more than $2000000 per annum and
are annually Increasing
Cotton wilt may make Its appear-
ance on single plants In a field but
Its later and most characteristic de-
velopment Is In definite spots of Ir-
regular size and varying area In which
most of the plants slowly wilt and
die Some plants partially recover
but remain dwarfed and bushy often
one sided while for some distance
around the wllt-lnfected area the cot-
ton Is more or less stunted by partial
root Infections Occasional plants are
found to remain healthy even In thf
j
Diseased Cotton 8tem
worst Infected spots Of two plants
In the small hill one may die and the
other live
The disease reappears In the same
place each year cotton Is planted and
on a larger scale This annual ap-
pearance and spread '-will distinguish
wilt from barren spots due to other
causes
' ' Wilt is most prevalent during June
and July but' some cases continue to
develop until the end of the season
The standard varieties of cotton differ
considerably In susceptibility to wilt
but none of them are sufficiently re-
sistant to be cultivated with profit on
Infected land Extended variety tests
on Infected fields have shown that as
a ' general rule the large boll sorts
Russell Truitt etc are more subject
to wilt than other groups or varieties
The most resistant of the American
Upland varieties tested was the Jack-
eon Limbless which produced about
45 per cent of a crop where other
kinds failed The original Jackson
was not sufficiently resistant to Justi-
fy Its general cultivation but It has
been of value as a basis for breeding
better races
Egyptian cotton Is more resistant
to wilt than Upland cotton but It
has not as yet been found practicable
to utilize this quality as the Egyptian
varieties do not succeed in our south-
eastern states and it is easier to breed
resistance direct from Upland va-
rieties than from crosses with Egyp-
tian cotton
The use of resistant varieties has
been shown by experiments In most
of the southern states to be a sat-
isfactory method of combating wilt
The illustration shows an enlarged
section of part of a diseased cotton
stem with vessels filled bya the wilt
fungus Normal water vessels are
shown (H) In comparison with several
such vessels (F) plugged by the wilt
fungus
The Neapolitan Pepper
The Neapolitan pepper should be
grown more largely by gardeners
where conditions are not especially
favorable for peppers It Is much
easier than other varieties of the
same type and attains a size which
satisfies market requirements Pep-
pers are grown most extensively
southward In New Jersey and other
prominent trucking regions but they
might bo produced profitably at high
altitudes which are comparatively free
from late spring and earl fall frosts
The grower should be assured of a
market before planting largely '
The Mare With Colt
It takes a good deal of the mare's
energy to nurse a colt Light work
should be her share or she will be
pulled down to akin and bones
SELECTING IDEAL DAIRY COW
There Ace Several Essential Points to
Be Taken Into Consideration—
Few Important Ones
In selecting cows for dairy herds
there are several essential points to
consider The cow should have great
stomach capacity avoid a round
bodied cow whose ribs are short and
a flat ribbed cow There should be
ample room for the udder which
should extend well forward and not
hang down ’ The milk veins should
be large and the farther they go the
better The udder should be loose and
pliable when empty — not fleshy
The eyes should be large and bright
and project well out from the face
This Is a strong Indication of the
nerve force needed for strong diges-
tion and large milk secretion
The dairy cow should be deep and
wide from one to two as this gives her
large capacity for rough feed The
back from one to four should be sharp
With little flesh when she Is In good
condition She should be well cut up
behind so that the udder can extend
well up as at three Her flank should
be well arched as at five to provide
room for a large udder
CROPS FOR GOOD ROTATION
Excellent Method of Succession to
Support Herd of Fifty Hogs With
Pigs— The Plan
My field is 20 rods In width and 40
rods In length divided Into five sec-
tions each four rods In width con-
taining one acre Along the division
fence are mulberry trees for shade
Beginning In April lot No 1 was
planted In sorghum to be followed by
turf oats and vetch In October No 2
was planted in sweet potatoes also to
be followed by oats and vetch No 3
was planted In peanuts No 4 Is plant-
ed in sweet potatoes No 5 Is planted
In artichokes
The following year lot No 1 which
Was In oats and vetch through the
winter Is planted In sweet potatoes
to be followed by oats and vetch In
the fall No 2 also covered with oats
and vetch through the winter Is
planted In artichokes No 3 Is planted
In sorghum or kafir corn to be fol-
lowed by oats and vetch In October
No 4 Is planted In peanuts and No 5
In sweet potatoes both to be followed
by oats and vetch This succession
and rotation is to support 50 hogs
with pigs etc
GENERAL FARM NOTES
Feed the slop to the hogs before
the grain Is fed
Never attempt to keep summer but-
ter for early fall prices because It
will not keep
Look out for all breeding places for
mosquitoes and files abolish them
Sow a good patch of carrots for
the horses this year If you never have
before
When two horses become accus-
tomed to working together don’t
change them
If the Incubator does the hatching
you can keep the 'hens laying all the
time
Put a shallow box of buckwheat
shorts near the calf It will soon be-
gin to eat It
Any enterprising farmer living near
a town of 5000 or more can sell
every pound of his butter at full retail
prices or little above the year round
If the ewes are young they may not
let the lambs suck until they are held
once so that the lambs can get at
them There Is no trouble after that
Goats do not fatten on pasture as
fast as sheep They prefer brush but
brush Is not a fattener They ought
to take kindly to straw
There Is great room for more dairy
work In the south Millions of dollars
are sent north for cheese butter and
other dairy products that ought to be
made at home
Making the hens do all they are
capable of doing and then through
selection and breeding growing bet-
ter hens will put any poultry plant
on a paying basis
When the vigor of the flock Is low
productiveness cannot long be kept
up therefore the profit will be very
little If any so It pays to keep the
flock vigorous
Menace to Health
Owners of country homes some-
times forget that the manure pile Is
a menace to the health of the family
particularly Is this the case when
within easy reach of the dwelling
Although a most excellent fertilizer
there Is nothing that will breed files
more quickly or certainly than stable
manure and If It be true as no doubt
It Is that they carry disease then the
unsightly heap should be removed to
the garden or field where Its value Is
appreciated

People Are Strangely Fascinated
by the Monstrosities
When the "Domsstlcated Gorilla" Got
the Show Into Trouble— Hot
Water Spolle a “Mermaid"
to Uncover Fake
London— It seems strange that
freaks from the legless wonder to the
two-headed calf should possess such
a strange fascination for nine people
out of -ten yet this Is undoubtedly
the case
Of course there are many so-called
freaks which hare no business to be
called by such an unpleasant name
for If one argues from the dictionary
a freak Is a monstrosity and a mon-
strosity In the generally accepted
sense of the word Is something hor-
rible The giant and the dwarf are
Interesting and unusual but certainly
should not be called “freaks"
- Hunchbacks were an exception to
the rule for all kinds of powers were
attributed to them There are some
very sensitive people to whom the
sight of anything in the nature of a
monstrosity Is absolute pain and
women are fortunately few and far
between who fall In love with a mon-
ster because of his monstrosity as
In the case of Victor Hugo’s “L’homme
qul Rlt”
The ordinary Individual comes
across very few physical freaks and
one cannot but wonder whence the
showman’s rank and file are recruited
Perhaps If the truth were known
more than half of the show freaks are
“fakes” There are many good stories
told of these sham freaks who owing
to some contretemps have “given the
show away” The two following are
good examples
Among the freaks of a certain show
was a "domesticated gorilla” to quote
the handbills and he proved one of
the finest draws the show had ever
had After the performance no one
could have recognized the gorilla as
The Tall Aoted Automatically
he then took the shape of a very
quiet ordinary little man The publio
particularly enjoyed seeing the go-
rilla swing from the horizontal bar
by his tail an appendage which Is
very slightly developed In the species
as a rule
This tall was a masterpiece of In-
genuity It was made of flexible steel
and so contrived that when It took a
turn around anything It locked Into
position until It was released by the
gorilla touohlng a spring concealed1
somewhere near his waist The thing
worked splendidly for a long time
until one day the gorilla put his tall
through the bars of his cage and a
lady standing by took hold of It
Well the tall acted automatically
as usual and of course when she felt
It tighten around her wrist the lady
screamed The gorilla pressed the
hidden spring to no purpose To make
a long story short the men standing
by came to the lady’s rescue took
hold of the tail and pulled It off!
When the people saw the leather fast-
enings and buckles they "cleaned out
the establishment"
The second story concerns a mer-
maid She was no'ordlnary mermaid
but a “really high-class article" a
very handsome young woman Incased
from the waist down in biue and gold
flshskln The water in which she
smoked and sang and sat on a rock
combing her hair was kept tepid so
as not to give her a chill and this
was what gave her enemies — the beau
tiful Circassian girl and the dwarf—
a chance to Injure her
They were Jealous because she at-
tracted more attention than they did
so they hatched a plot which the
dwarf carried out successfully One
day he pretended to be ill and got a
day off and just before the mermaid's
performance he hid himself In the
boiler-room After the man had been
down to see that there was not too
big a fire the dwarf set to and stoked
for all he was worth
The mermaid soon felt that some-
thing was wrong but she stood it as
long as she could At last however
she had to choose between being
boiled or giving the thing away and
naturally she preferred the latter al-
ternative but as the showman put It
the public said things that were "very
discouraging’’ and the show had to
move on

The Dentist’s Joke
At a recent dinner of the Authors’
club in London to Mr Owen Seaman
the editor of Punch Mr Walter
Emanuel another member of the staff
of Punch referred to the fact that the
man with the largest sense of humor
he had ever struck was an Englishman
—a dentist He went to him after suf-
fering long with a toothache He re-
fused to have gas and the dentist
pulled out a tooth leaving him writh-
ing in pain and took the tooth to the
window where he laughed quite heart-
ily He groaned “What’s the joke?”
“Wrong tooth’’ said the dentist
Merely a Prevaricator
A doctor relates the following story:
“I had a patient who was very ill and
who ought to have gone to a warmer
climate so I resolved to try what hyp-
notism would do for him I bad a
large sun painted on the celling of his
room and by suggestion induced him
to think It was the sun which would
cure him The ruse succeeded and
he was getting better rapidly when
one day on my arrival I found he was
dead” :
“Did it fail after all then?” asked-
one of the doctor’s hearers
“No” replied the doctor “he died
of sunstroke”
