came offended, at some error in the

The question of a lining- Is perplex.
fng one to the women who dresses lit
white, for the llnlna costs more than
the gown, and to line a fifteen cent cot
ton means ' something when viewed
from the standpoint of the pocket book.
As for the lining, It is a matter that
earihot be Ignored. Ail or very nearly
all of the summer goods are transpar
ent and the lining la distinctly visible,
painfully so sometimes.
Of course It la possible to use the
plain cotton linings, just as one would
with any other gown,' but these lin
lngs do not show up well, and they add
nothing to the beauty of the dress.
If you cannot afford to line well,
1 then do not get a transparent dress, so
the modistes advise. And they send
their customers back to exchange dress
patterns that show the lining too plain

Inches. The skin Is carefully pulled op
before cutting, so that It wlU roll back
and more or less cover the wound and
thus hasten healing. The college has
experimented .with various devices for
docking, and among others the hot
clippers, but has not found them prac
ticable.. Tho general assumption Is that
a knife Is good enough, If well handled,
and If there Is anything better It would
be a sharp chisel and a block.
Not a great deal of castration Is done
at the college since the majority. If not
all, of the lambs produced are pure
bred and to a considerable extent will
be need purely for breeding purposes.
.When castrating Is done, it is previous
tot docking. Professor Kennedy ad
vises that-docking be delayed for a day

there (ere' any. signs of inflammation,
the. docking has a tendency to remove

we tasted of It Although it looked
and' smelled all right, the taste was
enough to reveal that It was as sour as
any pickle. All the good qualities bad
been destroyed by overheating when

reduced the caked lumps and taken
away the sour smell, It had not restor

Too much pruning of a tree at one
time is not a good thing for It It weak
ens the tree and shortens Its life. When
It la first taken to its permanent home
from the nursery, It will usually bear
some cutting back, especially If many
roots have been broken in taking up,
but we think even then many take off
more than they should. The desired
future shape of the tree, with high or
low. branches, Bhould always be kept
In mind and the limbs cut to bring this
out Then a little trimming of super
fluous branches each year will keep
the tree In shape. It on coming to
bearing the fruit does not prove satta'
factory or true to name, It isibettee to
graft about one-third of It each y ear
for three years than to try to change
the whole top In one year, which may
result In loss of all the grafts and
sometimes In, the death of the tree, If it
Is not of a very vigorous kind.
Aa Oft Told Tale.
A smooth tongued agent claiming to
represent a prominent wholesale gro
cery house succeeded in getting f 50 to
SCO from each of many farmers In a
well to do locality. When the goods
arrived, they were delivered at a rail
road Btation in , unbroken packages
properly marked. The farmers did not
examine them until they got home,
when they discovered that the goods
were either very low grade or entirely
worthless. The agent had disappeared.
We again repeat our frequent warning
not to buy goods of a traveling repre
sentative without examination before
acceptance. All agents are not rob
