Button Party.
"Come and 'butUn" at our button
party on Saturday night at eight;"
thus the invitation ran that "Polly"
rushed In to show me.
She said they were going to have a
button hunt just like the peanut hunts
are carried out, and the hostess told
her she was making bags of ribbon to
put the buttons in and that each per
son could keep the bag for a souvenir.
The hostess gave her this little con
test, for me; she is going to ask the
questions and write down herself who
answers the most questions. The
prizes are to-be a set of .hand-painted
shirtwaist buttons, a box of collar but
tons. BUTTON, BUTTON, WHO'S GOT
THE BUTTON?
How should a blind man's buttons
te made? With eyes.
What is it that goes around a-but-tin?
A goat.
What kind of buttons should a He
brew wear? Jew-eled.
Of what should a "masher's" but
tons be made? Rubber.
What kind of buttons would a con
vict like to wear? Cut steel.
What kind of buttons are appropri
ate for a sexton? Bone.
What kind of buttons are the same
as a girl's name? Pearl.
Of what should an agent's buttons
be made? Brass.
Of what should a hunter's buttons
be made? Gun metal.
I must add two games with buttons
that children enjoy, and I am rather
certain that they would be good for
grownups, too. The first is called
"King's Buttons," it is played upon a
long drawn out dining room table cov
ered with a blanket. First you have
to make the King's Button Brigade by
taking three brass buttons, three black
ones and three white ones, with eyes
or shanks in the back, twist wire hair
pins into the eyes to make legs, and
stick in corks for feet. Stand the
brass "men" nearest the end of the
table, then the blackies, then the
whites. Each player has ten chances
to hit the men with a large marble
rolled from the other end of the table.
The white men knocked down counts
five, the black ten and the brass fif
teen. Count Is kept on cards, and an
assistant stays at the lower end of the
table to set up the men and return the
marble. This is really good fun, try
it. The next pastime has no name,
but is played this way:
Seat a row of players on each side
of the long table, with each row's lead
er in the middle. A button as large
as a fifty-cent piece is given one lead
Bonnets of Daintiest Design
Complete Fair Autoist's Costume
' CTjX : -y
If ',JkM ,
Time was when the fair autoist con
cerned herself with the question of
what sort of headgear Bhe should
choose whether a hat or a bonnet,
but this question doesn't come up now.
She will choose a bonnet and among
the great number of lovely models it is
Just a question of "which one." She
can hardly make a poor choice; for
all the new ones are made to measure
up to certain standards. They are eoft
and comfortable, light in weight and
becoming. They are made in all col
ors, gay and grave, and each is pro
vided with its veil.
In the management of lines about
the face there is so much variety that
it is worth while to try on a number
until one hits upon just the most be
coming of them all.
Veils are fastened to the bonnet in
any number of wiya, but all are de
tachable and washable. There is al
most no trimming other than the veil,
but many bonnets are made of two
colors and of two different materials
as straw braid and messaline silk,
Lrald end chiffon, braid and pongee,

er. All the hands on that side Of the
table are put under it, while the lead
er passes the buttons to some one on
hie side, or keeps it, misleading the
other side as to its place by talk and
actions. The opposite leaders orders
hands up. All hands on the button
side must be laid on the table, palms
down, the button under one of them.
All must help, by actions and words,
to keep the secret of the button's hiding-place.
The opposite leader tries to discover
it, watching faces and consulting with
his helpers. His object is to order up
one hand after another turned over
and taken from the table without un
covering the button. Jokes, tones,
laughs, glances, any means, may be
used to discover the button or to throw
the hunters off the scent. Only the
opposite leader can order up a hand.
The hands still down when the button
shows are counted for the button side,
scored, and the button crosses the
table.
1 A Dry Goods Contest.
Here is a stunt to try next time you
want a contest. It is especially good
to use at a thimble party. These are
the directions as given by the hostess
after she had passed the cards and
pencils. "Firet write on the card the
list of words I read off to you and then
when I say 'what do you consider the
most appropriate kind of cloth or trim
ming for the people listed on your
cards to buy?' let your answer consist
of one word that will describe either
the fabric or the pattern or the color
of suitable clothing for the personages
on your cards, and the reply must re
fer directly to the occupation of its
wearer."
Following is the complete list, and
award a prize to the .one who answers
best or the most according as you
wish to decide:
The artist should dress in canvas. .
The gardener in lawn.
The dairyman in cheesecloth.
The editor in print.
The banker in checks.
The hunter in duck.
The dressmaker in haircloth.
The Scotchman in plaids.
The prisoner in stripes.
The government official in red tape.
The architect in blueprint.
The minister in broadcloth.
The jeweler in cotton.
The undertaker in crepe.
The barber in mohair. (Does he not
mow hair?)
MADAME MERRI.
Wraps Mdde From Shawl.
The season for short evening wraps
is the psychological moment for the
woman who possesses one of the hand
some fringed Chinese crepe shawls to
get it out and have it made into a
stunning wrap. The priceless shawl
need not be cut to do this. All that is
necessary is to take a loop in one
edge to form a Capuchin hood or sling
drapery, and the shawl will then ad
just itself most gracefully on thei
shoulders, falling in just the right
way. If it is a very large shawl, turn
down one edge several inches be
fore making the sling loop, allowing
th fringe to fall on the outer side
ct the wrap, of course. A clasp of
jome sort should be set at the front,
high on the left front, , the opposite
side of the shawl being lifted to this
fastening in soft, graceful manner.
ribbon flowers or silk fruits are used
perched fiat against the brims.
Crocheted flowers and ribbon flowers,
a single rose and leaves usually, are
applied In this way, no more raised
than a heavy , embroidery. Nothing
can blow about except the veil and
that only at the will and pleasure of
Its wearer.
Most of the bonnets have a crown
sufficiently large to protect the coif
fure without tousling the hair. That
shown in the illustration is a good ex
ample of the mode. It is of satin braid,
made without wires. If carefully
packed It will take" up little room in a
6uit case as it is flexible enough to
fold up.
Numbers of the new hats answer
very well for automobiling when worn
with a veil; for their pose on the head
is like that of a bonnet. But such is
the popularity of the bonnet shapes
and the variety of materials from
which they are made that it will be a
Btupid girl who doesn't manage to
fashion one for herself or part with a
little extra money to the milliner.

KIND OF COWS TO BUY
Animals Not Adapted to Dairying
Cause Failures.
To Obtain Best Results It Is Essential
That Strict Dairy Type Be Kept
'Beef Value of Secondary
Importance.
(By XL A. MARKHAM. Idaho Experi
ment Station.)
It is not difficult to find men, even
in the most ' prosperous dairy com
munities, who do not believe that
dairying pays. Thjpy have tried It and
failed. Some have purchased good
Btock, but poor management or false
economy in housing or feeding pre
vented them from getting the results
they expected, but by far the largest
nurnber of these failures are due to
theXuse of animals that are not
adapted to dairying.
Those who purchase a few cows
when the price of butter fat is high
and sell them off when the price goes
down naturally 'have a rather poor
opinion of the dairy business. To ob-
r
1
.j IT " i- ti
fit atwfj

r , f i '''' niV
There Is Money In Butter Making.
tain the best results it is essential
that the animals purchased for the
dairy should be of the strict dairy
type, and be made a permanent part
of the farm live stock. Those who
purchase cows with the intention' of
milking them but a short time and
then selling them off when the price
of butter-fat drops or when the ani
mal goes dry naturally look more for
beef producers rather than milk pro
ducers. It Is impossible to build up
a good dairy herd by this method.
Dual-purpose animals may be used
in some localities to good advantage,
but to get the best results one of the
special dairy breeds should be used.
This does not mean that only thor
oughbred animals should be used, but
animals that are bred for milk pro
duction. A good dairy cow should
produce enough butter-fat in her best
days that the value of the beef may
be of secondary importance, if not
entirely ignored. "
A person purchasing an implement
considers first how much service he
can get out of it and not its value
as scrap iron when worn out. Those
who purchase a dairy cow should con
sider how much butter-fat she will
produce and not the value of her hide
and carcass.
PLACE FOR HENS TO SCRATCH
Leaves Make Excellent Material If
Gathered When Perfectly Dry
Oat Straw Is Cheap. .
There are a number of different ma
terials which furnish an excellent
place for the hens to scratch in, says
a writer in the Poultry Journal.
Leaves are probably the sttrff most
used by the small poultrymen. These
are good if gathered when perfectly
dry. They must be put into the pens
every few days, because the poultry
will break them into dust by their
continual scratching. I find oat straw
about as cheap in the long run, be
cause it lasts quite a while and furn
ishes' some feed If fed before thresh
ing. Some of my neighbors have tried
feeding buckwheat as a scratching
material and a feed combined. Buck
wheat is too fattening and should be
used only occasionally. Corn husks
make an excellent scratching material.
Shredded or cut corn fodder does very
well if there is nothing else on hand.
I do not like any form of meadow
grass or swale for scratching ma
terial because it mats down too much
when cut and not enough when not
cut.
Salting Cabbages.
For several years I have raised cab
bages and found it advantageous,
after setting out the plant, to drop
a little salt on the heart of the cab
bage, says a writer in the Fruit Grow
er. When the salt is dissolved by
rain, or some other agent, it should be
renewed, and the process continued
until all danger from cabbage worm3
is past.
A cabbage treated in this way will
grow much larger, and when the
head is cut open it will not be found
honeycombed with wormholes.
Necessity for Testing Seed.
Good seed corn Is the key to getting
good stands of corn. A good stand of
corn is necessary to secure good
yields. Owing to the wet fall of 1911
there is now much doubtful seed
corn in the country.
One cannot afford to plant corn
any years, much less this year, with
out testing. The single-ear method
of testing seed corn is the only prac
tical method.

HOED CROPS IN THE ORCHARD
Practice Results In Severe Damage to
Annual Plantings How to
Reckon the Distance.
One of the most, prolific causes o.
loss of nursery stock after trans
planting, or for several years there
after is this common practice of too
close growing of hoed crops. This
practice, says Rural Life, results in
severe damages to the annual plant
ings. The loss amounts possibly to
10 per cent. The too common prac
tice is to allow no more space be
tween the tree row and the inter-crop
rows than between two inter-crop
rows, be the inter-crops cabbage,
beans, potatoes or corn. Such, dis
tances vary from 30 inches to 3
feet, according to crop used or
planted.
In the first place, the distance
should be reckoned from the expand
ed top of the tree, rather than from
the trunk at base. The outside of top
is a limiting factor, since the allow
ance should be made for leaning of
the same, or possibly all of the tree
on the leeward side. , '
The nearest row to the tree row
should be far enough from the row
to permit the horse in cultivating to
pass freely ..and without letting har
ness catch into or come in contact
with branches of tree. It will sur
prise those who have never given the
subject much thought, the difference
that the lean or incline of a tree
makes, when it deviates from a
plumb or to a vertical line. In the
writer's opinion the space between
tree row and the nearest winter-crop
row should not be less than four feet
the year trees are planted, If two
years old, or branched trees are used,
and farther each succeeding year.
PAPER POT IS INEXPENSIVE
Little Device Easily Made and Suc
cessfully Serves Many Purposes
In Starting Seeds.
Here is a little device, so inexpen
sive and so easily made, and which
successfully serves so many purposes
in starting seeds and plants, that
every one should avail himself of its
help.
Take a piece of stiff paper (not
necessarily cardboard) and on it draw
two circles, one within the other; the
outer circle should be six inches ra
dius, and the inner one three. Cut
out the portion of paper inside the
smaller circle, and trim to the line
of the outer circle, thus having a
shape like a doughnut. Cut this
round piece of paper into three equal
arcs (or it may be halved for large
Paper Pot at Two Stages.
plants). Use one of these parts as a
pattern, and cut as many like it as
ou want.
On one end of the arc cut into the
outer end, three-quarters e-f an ineS
from the end, a slit half way across
the paper; on the other end cut the
same from the inner edge. Then bend
the strip and lock the slits together
to hold each other as fastenings to the
pot
The little paper pot will be bottom
less and will have set in sand or soil,
whichever is to be used as ground to
grow the things in, and filled as any
pot, putting the seed, cutting or plant
it in the usual way.
The soil into which the pot is
plunged must, of course, be kept
moist. When the plant is feady to be
shifted to a larger, or transplanted,
the paper can be torn off, leaving the
ball of soil undisturbed, and the plant
will feel no shock of removal.
Many plants cannot stand trans
planting by the usual way, and for
such these little paper pots are found
to be Invaluable. Give them a trial.-

A sick hen is never a paying invest
ment. -
Dry coops are cheaper than sick
chicks.
For the egg eating habit try darken
ing the nests.
Little and often is a good feeding
rule for chicks. i
Poultry success depends more on
condition than on breed.
Crossing breeds is a step backward
in the chicken business.
If chickens are worth, raising at all
they are worth raising well.
It is better to cut a chicken's head
off than to let him eat it off.
, Sell, kill or confine all male birds
when the hatching season is over.
Overheating is responsible for more
Incubator troubles than underheattng.
Disinfecting the incubator between
hatches is a precaution worth taking.
Feed the little chicks what they
need, not what you happen to have
on hand.
Don't forget to have a row of sun
flowers; the seeds are excellent for
poultry.
Remember that water glass solution
will keep this summer's eggs until
they double in price.
A half pint of carbonic acid in two
gallons of water makes a good disin
fectant for any purpose.
Removing the cause of disease is
more satisfactory all around than doc
toring the chicken afterward.

years, and have been afftictec so bad
that for weeks I could not go outsid
the door. My face wae one mass of
pimples, and not only the looks of it
but the itching and burning pains I
experienced were just dreadful. I lost
a great deal of sleep and had to keep
dampened cloths on my face all night
to relieve the pain. I had become dis
gusted with trying different things.
' One day I made up my mind to try
Resinol, and after using one jar of
Resinol Ointment, and one cake of
Resinol Soap, I saw the difference,
and now my face is as clear as any
body e, and I certainly don't need to
be ashamed to go out. Resinol Soap
and Resinol Ointment cured me of
