Departm SAT WHY INFORMATION ABOUT MEAT IS ESSENTIAL PRETTY FOR CARDCASE DECORATION THAT IS ARTISTIC AND DURABLE. In Addition, Almost Every Woman Will Be Able to Make It for Her­ self--Sage-Green and Gold Are the Colors. When milady goes calling she must be supplied with an attractive card- cage. If carried In a purse, among other articles, calling cards quickly become soiled, so a special case must be provided for them. Many women prefer a cardcase of leather to one of silver or gold. The latter invariably soils the white gloves, while one made of leather, especially of a light tint, prevents this catastrophe. Artistic cardcases are rather expen­ sive, but any woman who is at all clever can succesfully make them her­ self. The leather can be purchased at any arts and crafts shop where supplies are Bold. Take the design given here and place a sheet of carbon paper be­ tween It and the leather Carefully trace each outline with a sharply pointed pencil. The design will be perfectly duplicated on the leather ready for coloring. The design shows a conventional arrangement of two flowers. Sage- green suede could be effectively used DESIGNS IN NECK RIBBONS for this cardcase, with the design done in gold. If preferred, the petals can b^ cut out with a sharp knife and insets of petal-shaped enamel used. These are sold at the arts and crafts shop. For lining the rase use a bright green silk or a vivid flower design. Sometimes the flowers are cut out Singularly Pretty Are Many of the Styles That Are in Favor for This Season. The latest development of the sautoir is the grosgrain or moire rib­ bon with plain or picot edge and a large single ornament on the left side.1 ' says Vogue. One of the prettiest of these is a circular motif of exquisite delicacy. Another is a square of fin­ est fllet lace mesh wrought in platin­ um and diamonds, placed diagonally on the ribbon and held at the two opposite corners by two diamonds. These are again attached to a jeweled section that covers the ends of the ribbon. If a simpler chain for the lorgnon is desired there is the solitary pearl without any metal and strung as a slide or a Bilk cord. Both men and women are adopting this incon­ spicuous but handsome device. Perhaps one of the most pleasing novelties of the moment is a velvet neckband with slides of Beed pearls. These come with two or three slides or with a simple festoon. They are both radical departures from the old- fashioned themes, such as the rosette and the bowknot. DRESS FOR SMALL GIRL A soft cashmere of fine cloth is needed for our little model, which has the skirt made with an apron tunic at back and front, braided or trimmed with embroidered galloon at the edges. The waist-band is of the EASY TO CHANGE THE SCENT Clever Girl Has Devised Sachet That Will Outlast Those in Common* Use at Present. The great trouble of the handsome silk sachets is that when the scent falls they must either be discarded or remade. A clever young girl who is fond of orris root among her belong­ ings has overcome this difficulty in a simple manner She makes her Bachet cases of strips of ribbon, weaving two or more colors together. Just as kindergarten children weave paper. The ribbon is cut in equal lengths, and as many pieces are necessary as the size of the case requires. The best way to guage this Is to decide on the size, then divide its length by the width of the ribbon to show the number of pieces and cut each piece a little longer than the width of the case. Sorietimes the ribbons are woven Into a square, again they are made obJonK The squares are effective when folded over into a triangle when finished with a sharp knife and the silk lining provides the color. In this case a plain silk must be used Suede is pliable and can be stitched on the machine. You can utilize this motif effectively when decorating covers for books, blotters or tables. It will also prove an excellent design for stenciling. same, and it is also used t<5 form the square at neck; the sleeves are set into the armholes under wrapped seams; cuffs of the material are ar­ ranged to turn up. Materials required: 2% yards 44 inches wide, 3^ yards galloon. [Jew Jerseyites Longing for Ex­ citement Found It in the Chase. ANIMAL WAS A BEAUTY Joseph, a Negro, Who Aids the Valiant Hunter In Chase, Is Sore and Angry, and Now Eats Meals From Mantelpiece. BLACK WITH COLOR DESIGNS Hosiery of the Moment Is, tq, Say the Least, Eccentric and in Some Cases Startling. The mode in stockings has been very interesting for a long time, and the new introductions show no Bigns of waning eccentricity and beauty. Black hosiery is reasserting its claims to the supremacy it enjoyed for many years, and lost only when the rage for colored stockings came into vogue. But the black footgear now introduced has a decorative de­ sign in color upon it. Upon the instep of one pair brilliant green lizards rendered in beads dis­ port themselves, and upon another, lightly limned in Bequins, blue dragort flies are seen. Shot silk stockings are being received with favor for morning wear. They agree well with the ratine suit which is striped in two shades of one color or in black and purple, or wme other dye as a decorative. The fashion for parting the drap­ eries of the evening skirt, in order to show the left foot and ankle, is respon­ sible for the introduction of lovely white and ^esh-colored silk stockings, studded elaborately with flashing jewels or metallic threads. East Orange. N. J.--Things were quite here the other evening. Thomas and John Dukes couldn't see anything that was Interesting, and they didn't feel in the least sleepy. There weren't enough persons In town who were willing to make up a six or a seven hand poker game. The moving picture show was not open and the night was still, creepy and chilly-- a sort of Eliza-cros8ing-the-lce night. The snow was on the ground, dirty and smydgy. So Tom and John Just sat and looked at each other and were wishing they were In some noisy place like Red Bank, when John's eyes brightened. "Let's go after "coons," said he. "Just the thing," said Tom. So off they went, ready to catch and take the life of any 'coon they could find. And as luck would have It they spotted a 'coon. They set the dogs on the frisky animal. But those hollow trees are a boon to the 'coon. There waB a lively chase. In which the Dukes brothers forgot the stillness and the chilliness of the night. The 'coon seemed to know that vicinity pretty well, and he knew Just where there was a fine hollow tree that would baffle any dogs to get after him. John Dukes climbed up the tree af­ ter the raccoon had disappeared. He couldn't just see how they were going to get that "coon that night. The dogs were not able to get after the animal. So the two men crept around the tree and stuffed up all the holes in the bark with anything they could find. So back they came to East Orange, having marked the tree so they could find it easily the next morning, John and Tom are said to have slept beautifully Soon after 6unrise, ac­ companied by a negro, who for the sake of convenience and because he is mentally and physically sore shall be known only as Joseph, and the two dogs, the hunt was resumed. The tree was found. Joseph was in­ structed to chop It down. He worked Dark Versus Light Furs. It seems odd that so few should realize that dark furs are much more becoming than light, that is, to the average woman.

Chenille-Dotted Veilings. Many varieties of veilings were In evidence at the New York Horse show, says the Dry Goods Economist, but chenille-dotted novelties were perhaps in the lead. Dainty spring designs, outlined in miniature chenille dots or decorated in some odd fashion, were especially prominent. The part which chenille-dotted veilings played at this fashionable gathering will no doubt be influential in boosting the already fair demand for chenille dots in local retail stores. The country at large has bought conservatively of these novelties, and in the majority of In­ stances has done well with them. The sachet powder is eprinftled thickly on the sheets of cotton batting a little smaller than the waven case and slipped inside. Instead of sewing it in, the ends of the cover are tied with narrow ribbon bows These are put on according to the shape of the sachet, sometimes at the corners or if it is quite large they must go on the sides as well. The raw ends of ribbon left after weaving are turned under and fast­ ened with a small stitch Charming color combinations c« n be made.

More delicate tones are of rose, pink and silver, lavender and pale corn- color, baby blue and white. unti l the perspiration poured from his dusky face. The tree fell, and then the negro really became intent on the work. The 'coon was burled pretty deep in the Btump hollow. But not eo deep that Joseph couldn't get that precious animal out. The 'coon weighed about thirty pounds He was a beauty and he had the usual set of fine, sharp teeth. Not until Joseph was sitting on the animal did he suddenly realize that the Dukes brothers had left him. Now, a coon isn't quite as com­ fortable as a cushion, especially if be is sat on by a somewhat heavy negro boj The 'coon wanted to get away. He heard the cries of Joseph call^g for the Dukes brothers. The coon's teeth sank deep into Joseph's thighs And squirm and wriggle as he did, the 'coon always found that there was one of the negro's legs that he could pierce with i his ivories. It was getting unbearable fcr the negro, who wag about to per­ form the unheard of cowardly trick of leaving the coon to take care of him­ self. when Tom and John sauntered along Joseph was not calm. He said many things, and to get even with those Dukes brothers set the 'coon up on exhibition in the Dukes' bicycle shop. Joseph is eating meals as if he had been riding horseback for the first time--from the mantelpiece. Warm Coats. The indications are that velvet plush and velour are going to be popular this whiter. This will be wel­ come news for the women who desire a nice, warm coat and do not care to wear the really heavy fur garments which have been used lor the last few years. COW FALLS INTO DEEP SHAFT Animal l» Rescued From Old Hols of Ore Propector in California Mine Field. Orovtlle, Cal.--After ten days' im­ prisonment in the bottom of a forty- foot prospector s hole, left in the early days, a dredger the other day com­ pleted the task of digging a cow from the hole, which at the opening was only thriee and a half feet wide The bovine was the property of James Edwards of Thermallto. and a year ago a dredger performed a similar feat for him, when one of his horses fell Into a pit on the same land. For several days the disappearance of the cow mystified the owner, and his son and another man were sent on a search The sound of breathing coming from the hole led to the di* eovery.

RETAIL • CUT5 • OF• BEET By L. D. HALL AND A. D. EMMETT, University of Illinois. Precise knowledge of the final mar­ ket products into which beef cattle are converted is essential both to the producer and to the consumer of beef. In order to place beef production upon the most exact and profitable basis, account must be taken not only of economical methods of breeding and feeding, but also of the quality of the finished beef product as delivered to the ultimate consumer. The rela­ tive efficiency of the different types of beef cattle or of systems of production cannot be accurately compared with­ out considering the adaptability oi the beef to the purpose for which it is used. The same considerations that prompt manufacturers of other food articles to Btudy closely the com­ modities they place on the market should prompt the meat producer to inform himself as thoroughly as pos­ sible regarding his finished product. Notwithstanding the evident truth of these propositions, no comprehensive studies have yet been conducted and published which furnish a basis on which to compare live cattle with the various cuts of beef derived from their carcasses Consequently, beef producers have continued to conduct their operations almost wholly with­ out regard to this important phase of the industry. Meatmarket patrons are more di­ rectly, although no more vitally, con­ cerned with this subject than beef producers, since they deal directly with the market and have occasion almost daily to make use of informa­ tion concerning the relative values of the different retail cuts. Those who would buy meat most intelligent^ ly must know the nature of these cuts, especially with reference to the proportions of lean meat, fat and bone which they contain and the food val­ ue of meat from different parts of the carcass. A large majority of meat con­ sumers have no knowledge whatever of these matters, but make their se­ lections of meat solely according to habits or fancy In fact, but little accurate data along this line have been hitherto available to those who wished to buy meats on a rational basis. As a result, a few well known cuts are greatly in demand, and the remainder of the carcass is a "drug I on the market ." To such an extreme j has this condition developed that a portion of the carcass (loins and ribs) forming only about one-fourth of its weight, represents nearly one-half of its retail cost In view of the large place which meat occupies In the American diet, amounting to nearly one-third of the average expenditure for all food, the impcrtance of an in­ telligent understanding of the sub­ ject on the part jf the consumer is readily apparent. It Is highly essential to the entire beef-cattle industry on the one hand, and the economic welfare of the beef- eating public on the other, that a more intelligent understanding of the different cuts of meat be acquired by consumers generally. An increased demand for those portions of the car­ cass which are now difficult for the butcher to dispose of would contribute largely toward a more Btable condi­ tion of the trade and thus enable the producer to operate with greater con­ fidence and economy. At the same time it would effect a tremendous sav­ ing to the consumer himself by more nearly equalizing the market values FARM NOTES. Clip the main feathers on one wing of the fence flyer. That will keep her In. A cow must produce approximately 4,000 pounds of milk to pay for the year's feed and labor. Barbed wire fences are not worth while if you can't keep them well stretched and stapled. Before long the Ice crop will be ripe, and provision for its prompt har­ vesting should now be made. Red clover or alfalfa when green may be mixed with corn and a very satisfactory silage produced. Stormy days should not be idle days on the farm. Look about and see if you cannot find some profitable work Set out celery plants which are to be used for a late crop, and bank the plants which were set out in June or July. Ashes are a good product to put on the soil. They are rich in the element potash and contain a considerable amount of lime. To make the most profit out of the cows there must be an even flow of of ths various cuts and by enabling the reiailer to operate with a smaller margin of profit. A thorough awakening of our >wn people In this matter is no less essen­ tial to the future of beef production in this country than the development of our foreign markets, on the one hand, or a more efficient system of cattle raising on the other. Thus pro­ ducer and consumer are in a large sense interdependent with respect to the whole question, and the dissemina­ tion of useful information along this line is clearly to their mutual ad­ vantage. Further, cattle raisers them­ selves constitute an important pro­ portion of the beef-consuming class; hence they have a two-fold interest in the matter The increasing cost of meats, in keeping with the prices of other foods, has stimulated popular interest in the whole subject and there is a growing demand for ac­ curate information bearing upon It. (NOTE--Bulletin No. 158 of the University of Illinois agricultural ex­ periment station contains the results of a large number of experiments and analyses on the relative economy, composition and nutritive value of the various cuts of beef.) Notes on Tuberculosis. There are about 200,000 deaths an­ nually in the United States from tuberculosis, of which it Is estimated that 92 per cent are caused by the human type of tubercle bacilli; and 9 per cent, of 16.000 cases, are caused by the bovine type. In the cases caused by the bovine type of tubercle bacilli the disease is probably contracted very largely through the food and Is found almost exclusively among children. Though our knowledge concerning distribution of cattle tuberculosis is yet incomplete, it is known to be ex­ tensive throughout the world, rang­ ing from 10 to 48 per cent where most testing has been done.' The two things most favoring the distribution of this disease are the extensive trade in tuberculous cattle, and the difficulty of recognizing the disease by physical signs until it is far advanced. The recognition of tuberculosis In cattle depends almost entirely upon the tuberculin test. The positive test Is accurate In about 98 per cent of the cases as shown by slaughter. The negative test is not so reliable. The responsibility of ridding farm animals of tuberculosis must finally be placed upon the stock owner. The Btate may well . formulate rules and regulations, provide for free tuber­ culin testing, and for popular and special education upon the subject of animal tuberculosis. Breaking the Colt. The earlier the colt is made used to the harness the better broken the animal will be when it comes time for him to do some light work. It is easier to keep colts from learning bad tricks than to break them of such habits For this reason have every strap and rope used by the colts so strong that there is no danger of a break. Once a colt finds out that he can get away from a halter or other parts of the harness there will be trouble, perhaps for all time. Charcoal for Pigs. Charcoal is one of the beBt tonics for growing pigs. milk This requires good management as well as good feed. Pigeons are not appreciated as they deserve. They oost little, require lit­ tle time, and the income from them is nearly all profit. Work In the Orchard. That this season of the year is the most propitious for doing satisfactory and profitable work in th^ orchard none can deny, since the conditions there are such that the minimum amount of labor will produce maxi mum results, the eoolness of the weather also assisting the farmer in accomplishing more with the same efforts than at any other season dur­ ing the entire year. Painting the Wagons. Do you keep your market wagon In good trim? Was it painted lately, and is it clean? I have been told by deal­ ers that they would rather buy f rom gardeners who have attractive wag­ ons. Even the team and harness are considered by many dealers.
