Swine, Sheep and Apples.
The following item of practice of the
lamented Colonel Curtis, of Kirby
Homestead, and most pleasant memory,
is gleaned for new readers by Cole-
man’s Rural World :
“I have tried all sorts of experiments
to grow cheap food for hogs, and have,
at last, settled down upon sweet corn
and peas for summer use, and roots and
corn for winter ,coupled with bran of
difterent kinds. Of course, pasture
comes in as a steady diet, and the best
of this is orchard grass for earliest
reen food and clover next. My order
is to turn the hogs into a field of
orchard grass as soon as there is any
growth and to supplement this food with
some grain, more cr less, according to the
condition of the hogs. The apple orchard
ie the early spring pasture. This has
been seeded for seven years and pas-
turad all the time with hogs. Every
year the grass is better and the orchard
rows faster and produces better fruit.
t is a bother to keep the hogs rung,
but it pays.”
The same paper yuotes Mr. Wood-
ward, of Western New York, as giving
preference to sheep instead of swine
among his fruitful trees:
“He would advise keeping 100 sheep
on every ten acres of orchard. To feed
them enough, give plenty of linseed
meal and bran, which will make them
ravenous for apples. The feed, the ap-
ples and the scattered grass have ans
wered an excellent purpose, and al-
though he had not plowed his orchard
in fourteen years, it was in excellent
condition. The droppings from these
insecticides were not in any danger of
poisoning and they made the land
much richer.”
A third bit of apropos and interest
ing experience, credited to ‘a Connecti
cut fruit grower,” reaches us by way
of the Michigan Farmer :
“Twenty yearsago a neighbor leaned
over my fence and saw me setting an
orchard. He expressed doubt whether
I would live long enough to eat the
fruit. Although much older than my-
self, he lived to see me sell $600 worth
of the fruit in one year. There are 100
trees, covering two and a half acres.
I set them thirty-four feet apart each
way, and they would do better forty-
five feet apart. I cultivated small fruits
between them ten years, then seeded
and left the land to grass. I pasture
the field every year until the stock be-
gin to pick the fruit, when I remove
them. This keeps down the worm
plague, so common where orchards are
mowed. This year’s crop was 300 bar-
rels.”
Corncobs as Winter Covering for Bees.
After experimenting with various
substances as absorbent winter cover-
ing for bees, the well known absor-
bent power of corncobs induced a cor-
respondent of Gleanings in Bee Culture
to try them, using them whole and fill-
ing the interstices with dry, fine saw-
dust, which answered very well. He
sayH :
Afterward I had them ground ata
feedmill and filled the boxes three
inches with thie meal, and I want
nothing else. Cobs chopped and mixed
with dry sawdust do well. This is
practically a nonconductor ot heat, and
it is dense and porous and has the cap-
illary force, like blotting paper, to car-
ry moisture to the outer atmosphere.
To illustrate thie capillary force, sup-
pose we build a new hive from lumber
sawed transversely four inches thick—
sides, ends and cover—joints hermeti-
cally sealed. This would certainly be
a warm hive, and with the capillaries
or pores of the lumber directed from
within outward you would never find a
drop of water condensed on the inside
as long as the temperature within was
above freezing and the surface free
from propolis. Bees in their natural
homes have the benefit of this capillary
force.
The World of Women.
The bang is growing perceptibly less.
There are 108 women lawyers in the
United States.
Single sleeve buttons are larger than
ever. They are worn chiefly by men
and women who affect masculine dress,
and are in dead gold.
Among the veiling a square mesh,
having a tiny crescent of velvet upon it
here and there, is very much liked, and
is decidedly becoming.
The most fashionable waists are either
round or slightly pointed, with corselets
or girdles. The short Empires are much
worn, but are by no means in the ma-
jority.
Clean your silver with hot water. fol-
lowed by a sclution of equal parts of
spirits of turpentine and spirits of am-
monia. Then with a piece of buckskin
apply whiting.
For stout women we recommend the
new seven-gored French skirt; for slen-
der ones, the latest seamless skirt. which
is made of goods wide enough to place
the selvage edges at the waist and hem.
The women of the various cantons of
Switzerland may often be seen carrying
upon their backs loads of manure to
their mountain farms. Is it any won-
der that they are quite ready to emi-
grate to America ?
Mrs. F. B. Grannis, editor of the New
York Church Union, is probably the
only woman who has successfully car-
ried for nearly 20 years the whole bur-
den, financial and editorial, of a large
religious journal.
‘While the mode and beige shades
have rather been put aside, tan that
runs into golden brown is on the top-
most wave of success. The new electric
blues, under the name of Oriental and
Tolande, are lovely colors. By mid-
winter it is expected that the appear-
ance of women will warrant the saying, |
“any color soit is red.”
Dark gowns are given a bewitching
dash of color by the addition of some
ope of the bright colored jackets, trim-
med with the untarnishable gold
threads, and of the same style as those
worn by the Turkish ladies of the
harem.
Tiss Durham, probably better known
as sister Emma Durham, received $1,-
000 for her services in nursing Lord
Tennyson during his illness, She has
recently placed it to the credit of the
National Pension Fund for Nurses.
Have you contracted the habit of
knitting your brows ? Ifso, try tying
around the forehead a tight, smooth
band of broad ribbon when studying or
writing. It is well, unless it is annoy-
ing, to also wear this band at night, as
in sleeping sll lines in the face deepen.
A blue veil should only be worn by &
woman of high color, for the tint has a
tendency to increase one’s pallor. The
bordered veils, unless adjusted with
great nicety, give the impression of too
great length to the face. This style
is gradually becoming less popular as
they are not nearly as becomingas those
bought by the yard, which have no
borderingand rely on their fullness for
a dainty finish.
Corded silk capes matching handsome
costumes are among the belongings to
tall women. They are finished with a
flaring collar of modified height or with
‘petit abbe’’ hoods of velvet. Why
does not some modiste introduce the
snug pelisse trimmed with fur that
were really worn with the Empire
dresses in Josephine’s time, and the cozy
long muffs, which hide the hands and
half the arms? How much more grace-
ful and comfortable are they than the
flopping monstrosities now prevalent;?
Keep a thing seven years and it will
come into fashion again, is an old say-
ing that has never been erased from the
notebook of proverbs. The long gold
chains that were at one time the popu-
lar things for watches are to turn up
this winter as muff chains.
If you have not got one, if you moth-
er or your grandmother have allowed
their's to be cut up into other trinkets,
then you must go to your jeweler and
buy one. This is the dictate of la mode
and you had better be dead than out of
fashion.
Catarrh Cures Considered.
Their Effects, Defects, and Differences
Catarrh medicines are of two classes
—those that cure and those that re-
lieve. :Those that cure are called
specific ; those that only relieve are
called palliatives. The number of
specific catarrh remedies is small in
deed ; the number of catarrh palliatives
is legion. The effect of catarrh pallia-
tives is often immediate, but al ays
temporary ; they never cure. This
kind ot catarrh medicines includes
sprays, snufts, inhalants, gargles, and
local applications of all kinds. They
geem to cure for awhile, but the disease
is sure to return.
Pe-ru-na belongs to the class of catarrh
remedies called specifics. Peru-na
does not palliate the symptoms, but
cures the disease. It is sometimes
slow in its action onold cases of chrobic
catarrh but it is sure, and its effects are
permanent. It is also an unfailing re-
medy for ¢c ughs colds, bronchitis, con
sumption in its early stages, and all
the chronic diseases of winter. An
excellent treatise on catarrh will be
sent to any address by The Peru-na
Drug Manufacturing Company, Colum-
bus, O.

The Use and Abuse of Whiskey.
This subject could be dwelt upon to a con-
siderable length, and yet much would remain
untold, but all agree that the use, the proper
use of pure rye whiskey is an absolute neces
sity, especially so now, when nature insists
upon being stimulated. All regular physi-
cians prescribe rye whiskey, and justly claim
that Klein’s Silver Age and Duquesne Whisk.

because they have tried them but because the
leading hospitals use them—find them the
best stimulants in {he world. Silver Age sells
for $1.50 and Duquesne for §1.25 per full quart.
