NEW YORK, JIAY 10, 1917. 
BUTTER. 
The market is very quiet and prices running 
one to two cents under last week’s figures. 
This iij the season when the tender shoots of 
wild onion are coming up in the pastures and 
cows pasturing in infested places are sure to 
make milk and butter with an onion llavor. 
Such butter is hard to sell anyway, and must 
go several cents under its actual value minus 
the onion flavor. It is a hard job to clear this 
pest out of a bad'ly infested field, but small 
patches are quite readily managed' by digging 
out with a spud and carting away to be burned 
when dry.

The Home Dressmaker 
(Continned from page Til) 
down tho back, so as to open out flat 
for convenience in ironing. The low 
round neck was finished with a circular 
hand three inches deep of blue chambray, 
and the armholes were finished in the 
same way, while there was also a hand 
of the solid color at the bottom of the 
skirt. These bands, as shown, are 
trimmed with rows of machine stitch¬ 
ing. sometimes they have a row of chain- 
stitch, or some other simple embroidery 
stitch, along the edge. Ginghams in 
both plaids and checks are again very 
popular, not only for children’s wear, 
but also for their elders. Some pretty 
dresses for girls of the “flapper” age are 
made with a coat hloiise of solid colored 
ch.amhray and a kilt-pleated skirt of plaid 
gingham, the blouse having belt, collar 
and enITs of the plaid. There are also 
attractive dresses for girls and young 
women made entirely of the plaid'ging¬ 
ham, with white pique collar and cuffs. 
One very pretty Scotch gingham noted 
was black, white and rose, so combined 
as to give a shaded effect to a large 
plaid; there are also very 'handsome 
cornhinations of blue find green. These 
fine Scotch ginghams cost from 45 to 60 
cents a yard, hut there are attractive 
domestic ginghams for moderate price.s, 
although all, even the humblest apron 
gingham, show the effects of increasing 
cotton i)rices. We find it wise to shrink 
all gingham and chambray before making 
up, as a measure of precaution. 
Receipts are large, tliree recent dayvj bring¬ 
ing 2,850,000 dozen. Some of these Jiave been 
held oft the market on sliippors’ price limit, but 
enough surplus ba.si got into current trade to 
weaken the market on even the best ■white.

Dress and Accessories.—^^V lthough 
Ave soe so many high-heeled shoes of kid 
or suede in a variety of light cidors, 
sensible mannish models are very fash¬ 
ionable for women’s wear. With low fiat 
heels amj wing or plain tip, in black, tan 
or Russian calf, they are de.scribod as 
military models, iboth ties and high-laood 
hluchens. The military ties have small 
round laces, with the ends Ciirefully 
tucked in; flying ribbon loops are not 
permissible with this sort of shoe, 
_ Flat necklaces of woven heads are 
highly popular; they arc woven on a 
loom, like a flat ribbon from three-qiiar- 
ters of an inch to an inch and a half 
wide. A few years ago many of us wore 
weaving them as fancy work on little 
“Indian bead loom.s,” hut they were- 
never before as fashionable as tluw are 
now. They are woven in a variety of 
patterns and colors, the ends being 
woven together side by side, to form a 
flat plaque, often finished by fringe. 
Crystal beads do not show up as well in 
these necklaces as .solid colors. Neck¬ 
laces of this class about an inch wide, 
woven Avith a floral pattern in a solid 
color, wore seen for $2.00 each. 
•let is in high favor as jewelry, and 
old-fashioned ornaments of good jet may 
he displayed with pride. Where jet has 
been laid away for some time, ami has a 
dull and diLsty look, the dust shouhl first 
he removed with a very .soft brush, the 
j('t then touched with cotton moistened 
with a little good oil, after which it 
should be gently polished with chamois. 
Jet is often very hrittle, and should bo 
handled carefully. 
Separate Avaistcoats are .seen with 
many tailored .suit.s, some white, others 
quite startling in color and design. 
A plump Avoman will do avcII to buy 
her silk petticoat Avith a jersey toi). The 
snug-'fittiug material lessens hulk, and 
its elasticity causes it to give, lessening 
Avear_ and the risk of tearing with a sud¬ 
den jerk. Many of tho good shops now 
tell their customers frankly that they 
no longer guarantee' the AVf'ar of taffeta 
owing to manufacturing difficulties.

Cushman Binder Engine 
For All Farm Work 
The 4 H. P. Cushman is the original and 
successful Binder Engine, Thousands are in use 
every liarvest—saving horseflesh and saving grain. 
It saves a team, because engine operates 
sickle and all machinery of binder, leaving horses 
nothing to do but pull binder out of gear; also 
takes away side draft. Therefore, two horses easi¬ 
ly handle 8-foot binder in heavy grain. 
It saves the grain, because it runs at uni¬ 
form, steady speed, putting grain on platform 
evenly, allowing platform and elevator canvas to 
deliver it to packers straight, and thus it is tied 
without loss, saving a large per cent of the nat- 
ural waste of binder. ^ 
It saves the crop in a wet season, because 
slipping of bull wheel or slowing up of team does 
not stop the sickle, and it never clogs. You can 
cut wet grain same as dry. 
It saves time because you can move right I 
along all the time in heavy grain without killing 
the horses, and with no choking of sickle, eleva¬ 
tors or packers. 
It saves the binder, because it operates at 
same regular speed all the time — no jerking of 
machinery by quick stopping and starting of team or when 
bull wheel drops into a rut. That’s what tears a binder tc 
pieces. With a Cushman Engine your binder will last twice 
as long. Write for book with compicto description.
