The lime in ashes isderived from vegetable
substances entirely, thus differing from
stone lime in being exceedingly fine, but
lime thus obtained does not differ in com-
position from stone lime. As ashes contain
all the mineral elements of the woods from
which they are derived, they consequently
contain certain other substances, such as
magnesia, soda, etc., and, with nitrogen as
an aid, wood ashes should form a complete
fertilizer for some crops.
—The beet is greedily consumed hy
swine, and though largely consisting of
water, yet it is nourishing and fattening,
owing to the large proportion of sugar con-
tained. When fattening hogs on corn. mix
the corn with cooked beets or with beets
that have been cut or pulped and there will
be a greater gain in weight on beets and
corn than on corn, and also at smaller cost.
For sows having pigs beets are excellent,
as they are succulent and assist in produc-
ing a larger proportion of milk. On some
farms 500 bushels of beets per acre are
grown. which provide a large amount of
food from a small area.
—It is during such weather as the recent
snow storm that the colts, pigs and calves
receive checks in growth. A night’s ex-
posure in a cold barn through which cold
draughts flow may not seriously damage an
adult, though even in that case the animal
will suffer, hut the young stock feel the
cold seriously. Plenty of cut straw or
leaves will assist in preventing draughts
along the floor, but the most important
matter is to look after the cracks and crev-
ices in the walls of the barn. Itis a mis-
taken idea that a window must be open to
provide ventilation during cold weather,
as the difficulty will be to keep the cold,
fresh air out rather than to let it in.

After the first six months of mourning a
widow may put on the turn-over cuffs and
collars of white linen lawn which nowa-
days can be worn by anyone in mourning.
Most of mourning gowns are now lined
with soft materials, either in silk or light-
weight wool, so as to avoid the rustle. The
plainest of black shoes and gloves should
always be worn with the mourning cos-
tume. No suspicion of a white petticoat
should be seen with a mourning dress.
Never be guilty of wearing a mourning
veil witha shirt waist of washable material.
The white ruche in the bonnet belongs
distinctively to the widow’s weeds, and
should never be worn by a woman who is
wearing mourning for any but her deceased
husband, but when once taken off the ruche
must never be put on again except for a
second husband. Allow the band of black
on your stationery and cards to correspond
in width to the degree of mourning habili-
ments. The extreme widths are in any
case vulgar and ostentatious.
If you attend the theatre or any place of
public amusement while you are in mourn-
ing—and that is your prerogative—never
wear a mourning veil. Either go bare-
headed or wear a fancy bonnet made of
mourning materials. Women sometimes
make the error of wearing long crape veils
at the theatre and other similar places.
When you feel you wish to dispense with
the wearing of mourning, be guarded and
let its retirement be slowly and gracefully
marked by quiet costumes.
A pretty and acceptable trifle to give a
