FARM NOTES.
—1In Nebraska the use of beets for swine
in place of the filthy slop usually putin
barrels to ferment has made a change on
some farms in the condition of the hogs.
There is less disease and but little corn is
required with the beets, except when mak-
ing the animals fat for slaughter late in the
year. Beets contain a large proportion of
sugar and are fattening as well as juicy,
and are highly relished.
—A cabbage grower reports that he has
found 1000 pounds of salt per acre an ex-
cellent dressing for land intended for cab-
bage, beets and cauliflower. It should be
applied very early in the spring, on the
surface, as soon as the land is plowed, and
harrowed in. Those who make a practice
of adding salt to the manure heap also state
that it is beneficial. Too much salt on
tities it assists many crops.
If young trees are set out early in the
spring be careful to not expose the roots so
as to allow them to dry. Make the holes
large, so as to receive all the roots without
cramping or bending them, and return the
top soil to the roots, pressing firmly and
settling the soil with plenty of water.
The top soil may be mulched with stable
manure, but do not mix manure with the
earth used to fill in around the trees.
Shorten back the tops before the buds be-
gin to swell and cut away all surplus
branches.
—An old bed of strawberries which had
produced but a moderate erop was made to
yield 7000 quarts per acre the next year
with an application of 300 pounds of ni-
trate of soda early in the spring. To use
300 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre is
costly, as 100 pounds is considered suffi-
cent by many fruit growers, but the cost
is not even a matter for consideration if the
larger crop pays for it and gives an addi-
tional profit. Nitrate of soda alone is not
sufficient unless the soil is very fertile.
There should be as many pounds of muri-
ate of potash as of nitrate of soda, with
half as much acidulated bone or phosphate
rock.
—Many beginners, purchasing bees in
box hives, are asking the best means of
transferring. Having transferred many
from different frames into the Longstroth
frame, I find the best way is to let the bees
swarm first, then wait about 21 days, when
all eggs will be hatched; then turn the box
upside down, place a hive on top, close all
openings by wrapping the union of hives
with cloth, and drive them out of the box.
First give combs or foundations of the top
hive, after which you can transfer without
trouble the combs in the box by cutting
out the combs and fitting the hive youn
drove the bees into. You must drum on
the box sides with sticks or anything to
make a noise; occasionally listen, and the
hum of the bees will help you judge of
your success.— Farmer's Tribune.
—It does notseem to be generally known
that light in the winter time is the chief
agent in the destruction of vegetables oth-
erwise hardy, and especially light shining
brightly on the plant when frozen. At-
tention has been called by Mehan’s Monthly
to this point as follows: A cabbage or tur-
nip that is exposed to the light rots readily
but will keep perfectly sound if but slight-
ly covered with earth. This principle
should be remembered when collecting
vegetables together in large masses for pro-
tection. It is often customary to cover
such sets of vegetables with some light ma-
terial, such as leaves, hay or straw, the re-
sult of which generally is simply to form a
harbor for mice, which are much more de-
structive than the frost itself.
Water has, of course, to be excluded, and
if the vegetable plants are set closely to-
gether and covered with boards to keep out
the rain it is generally all that is required.
Water must be excluded or else rotting
may result. For this purpose itis good
practice to invert vegetables at times.
The cabbage especially must receive this
attention. They are almost always invert-
ed when placed together under boards or
covers for protection, and, in fact, where
no covering at all is used they will keep
perfectly well when inverted.
—Those who for years farm land that is
thickly spotted with stumps and stones
certainly do not know the value of dyna-
mite in clearing the ground of these ob-
structions. Dynamite is thought by many
to be very dangerous to handle, but in the
hands of one who is anyway careful there
is very little danger. The writer has used
it in many ways, such as blasting stamps,
stones, nigger heads and wells, using it
under water, and has never had an acci-
dent. I would not hesitate to recommend
any one to use it if sober and careful. It
can be purchased at from 10 to 20 cents per
pound, and a half pound is sufficient to
blast a large stump or stone.
In blowing out a large stump, one that
is thoroughly rooted and fast, take a longer
auger that will make a 1} inch hole. Bore
well under the centre of the stump, take a
pound stick of dynamite and cut in two in
the middle, place a cap on end of fuse and
tighten with nippers, make a hole in the
centre of stick of dynamite and place cap
end of fuse in same end. Be sure to make
fast so it will not slip out. Cut fuse so it
will come out of hole about six or eight
inches above ground. With a broom han-
dle force the dynamite to the bottom of
hole and tramp with fine dirt until hole is
full and solid. Then light the fuse and
step out of the way a sufficient distance
for safety and ‘‘let her go.”
Probably this will only split the stump
and blow the dirt out from under it, and if
another charge is needed repeat it, but in
case the bottom dirt is well blown out and
stump split let it alone until the stump
dries through and a little oil and fire will
fix it. :
Blow out stone and nigger heads in the
same manner. Should the stone be too
large to handle place a small stick of dyna-
mite on top and cover withdirt and let her
go, as the force of the dynamite is as strong
down as up and will split a large nigger
head to pieces.
I find for making holes to set out fruit
trees on heavy clay ground that blowing
out a hole with dynamite is the best way
we can do it, as it thoroughly opens the
soil and gives the young roots a chance to
take hold, writes J. L. Van Doren in The
Farm, Field and Fireside.
On the other side of the subject, a writer
in Rural New Yorker advices a correspond-
ent, if he must blast, that it would be de-
cidedly wiser, unless he can get an expert
dynamiter man todo it, to use a high grade
black blasting powder. He thinks the
only safe advice for those unfamiliar with
dynamite is to handle it through the fingers
of another.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Fashions come and fashions go, but the
shirt waist stays with womankind. It is
well that this is so, for man says that nine
women out of ten look better in a shirt
waist than any other style of bodice. This
is an exaggerated view of this garment’s
merits, perhaps, for a great many women
look worse in a shirt waist than in any-
thing else. She who is of stout girth and
short waist should avoid it as she would
the plague, and especially when made of
materials of conspicuous designs. “At the
moment the most popular waists are fash-
ivned of fine French flannel in plain colors
or spotted velveteen. Both materials wear
well and are warmer than silk or satin.
The newest cut is not made exactly as cot-
ton shirts usually are, but is more dressy
and oftentimes trimmed with pipings of a
contrasting color. The average woman
wears a shirt waist of one kind or another
under her coat when she does not expect to
remove the latter. For this purpose one of
silk or satin is preferable, since the coat
slips on and off much more easily, but it’s
very hard on the waist. Plaid and stripped
flannels in combinations of pale blue and
white, pink and cream, pale heliotrope and
violet, cerise and black and many others
are very smart for morning wear and areas
easily laundered as a cotton waist. All sorts
of fancy neck ribbons, lace collars and
bows are worn with these waists, making
them quite dainty enough for the daintiest
and dressiest of women.
It has been pointed out and with truth
that many babies are handled or carried
about with less care for safety or comfort
than is shown to an ordinary well dressed
doll.
A baby which has been persistently held
the wrong way is likely to suffer all its life
from some deformity more or less serious.
The danger, though perfectly obvious, is
scarcely realized by the great majority of
people. Thus a large percentage of chil-
dren are round shouldered, and often their
arms or legs are more or less bent or mis-
shapen without being positively deformed.
Tiny babies are often held without any
support for their plastic little bodies, or
they are dragged about by one arm or en-
couraged to sit up or walk before it is nat-
ural for them to do so. These mistakesare
made even by mothers who regard their
babies with utmost tenderness.
There are, of course, a score of right
ways of holding a baby, just as there are a
hundred wrong ways. As ageneral rule it
may be laid down that any reclining posi-
tion in which the entire body is supported
is a natural and healthful one. Mothers
are good nurses because it is natural for
them to draw the child close to them and
form a perfect cradle for it with their arms.
In other words, they instinctively support
the little body at every possible point.
The most usual mistakes made in the way
of holding the baby are that it will be held
too tightly, and that its arms and legs will
not be gathered up properly.
A little close-tied bow of mirror velvet,
with flaring ends, is one of the pretty
touches on the new gowns. It is fastened
with a jeweled buckle on the lower edge of
the collar band, directly in front, without
any regard to the material of which the
band is made, and is always in some con-
trasting color. Black is often used, even
when itis the only bit of black in the
gown, and as most of the neck bands are
white nowadays. the bow is very effective.
Mirror velvet ribbon and satin ribbon, tied
in a short bow, with long ends, form an-
other fancy in bows for the neck. The
ends are sometimes finished with jet orsilk
fringe. Bias velvet is also used for hows
and bias liberty satin in black makes an-
other pretty finish for the neck on a bright
blue or pink silk waist. The satin is nar-
rowly trimmed on the edges and draped
narrowly around the neck on the lower
edge of the white lace-covered collar.
To remain young a woman must keep her
joints limber ; if neglected they become
painful and stiff. Women groan with
rheumatic pains when, if they exercised
properly, theumatism would be unheard of.
Women sit by the fire and shiver with a
cold when, if they encouraged gymnastics,
the blood would circulate vigorously
through the body.
The following four simple exercises will
greatly help todevelop and preserve physic-
al symmetry :
1. Stand erect, with hands outstretched
on a level with the shoulders, and slowly
raise yourself on your toes as far as possi-
ble. Retain this position for an instant,
and then sink back on to the entire foot.
Do this twenty times a day at first, and in-
crease each day to a reasonable limit.
2. Place the hands on the hips, and,
resting all the weight of the body on the
right foot, slowly raise the left leg, and ex-
tend it in front of the body. Then bend
at the knee, pointing the toe downward
and bringing the foot up. Repeat this ten
times at first. Then stand on the left foot
and repeat the exercise in reverse.
3. Stand erect and lean over at the hips
without bending the knees and try to touch
the floor with the fingers. Day by day you
will come nearer and nearer the floor. This
exercise will make the body supple, and
strengthen the back, and will encourage
grace.
4. Extend the right arm, and placing
the left on the hip, bend to right side as far
as possible, and then reverse the exercise,
which should be repeated ten times at first,
and, like all the others, increased from day
to day as much as circumstances will per-
mit. This is an excellent general gymnas-
tic. No woman should indulge in any ex-
ercise to such an extent that even the
slightest strain is possible. Fifteen min-
utes a day spent in exercise at home should
result in muscular development, and great-
ly help to retain health.
Doctors say that cold ankles kill more
women than nerves and disease put togeth-
er. This may be an exaggeration, but it is
not to say that when the ankles are well
protected and kept perfectly warm their
owner is not likely to suffer with colds.
‘‘Stock breeders say that cold can be
borne by animals only at an expense of fat
or muscle or vitality, and so itis with
women,’’ says a fashionable hoot-maker re-
cently. ‘‘And yet they persist in wearing
thin stockings and thin, low-quartered
shoes long after the summer has passed.
But they are improving in this respect as
well as in every other as time goes by. Ten
years ago we sold as many low shoes in
winter, shoes with an excuse for a sole, as
we did in summer. Not so now. When
a woman comes in and buys a pair of low
shoes at this season for outdocr wear we
know that she is one of two things, vain or
silly.”
Among the fashions that once reigned
supreme but are now a thing of the past
are toothpick-toe shoes, so pointed as to be
almost sharp enough to cut. The turned
down white linen collar on women’s shirt
waists that were worn to the exclusion of
every other shape? The giddy plaid hoisery

Cattle Queen of Mentana.
A Woman Who Has Had an Unusual Western Expe-
rience.
Mrs. Nate Collins, known throughout
the Northwest as ‘“The Cattle Queen of
Montana,”’ reached Minneapolis the other
day, with thirty-two carloads of cattle, all
her own property.
Mis. Collins has had a romantic career,
says the Minneapolis Zribune. She is now
about fifty-five years of age. She began
her Western experience at the age of ten
years, and has lived upon the plains ever
since.
Long before she was twenty years old she
had made ten trips across the plains be-
tween Omaha and Denver, acting in the
capacity of cook in the wagon train of
which her brother was wagonmaster. She
visted Bannock and many other points,
and was the first white woman in Virginia
City. She was at Helena before there was
such a place, and it was at Helena some
time later that she wedded Nat Collins, a
well-known and respected miner.
The marriage occurred about thirty years
ago, and shortly after the ceremony the
young couple quit the mining camps and
went into the northern part’ of Montana
and established themselves in the stock-
raising country, to which they have clung
persistently and with great success ever
since. They have but one child, a daugh-
ter, sixteen years old.
They began ranching with about 450
head of stock, and to-day Mrs. Collins says
it would be utterly impossible for her to
give even an estimate of the number of cat-
tle upon her various ranches.
When Mrs. Collins began to ship her
stock to the Eastern market she found her-
self confronted by railway rules that no
woman could ride in the cahoose attached
to the stock trains. Finally she putin a
protest, and as the agent could give no
satisfaction she carried the matter to James
J. Hill, president of the Great Northern,
who reluctantly refused her the desired
permission, and by so doing raised a storm
of indignation about his luckless head. In
a few days he was fairly smothered with
letters from prominent ranchmen and cat-
tlemen of Montana, demanding that he ac-
cord the customary privileges of the road
to Mrs. Collins. Mrs. Collins got her pass
and has had one each year since, and is to-
day the only woman so favored.
Paper Collars.
They are Still Made, Largely for Shipment Abroad.
“Oh, yes, paper collars are still made,’
said a haberdasher smilingly, in reply to
an inquisitive customer. ‘‘Thirty years
ago they were worn by men who considered
themselves very good dressers. Now their
use is confined to a few old fellows who
won’t change, and, of course, they have to
be manufactured to order. There are sev-
eral customers for them here, and a wealthy
planter who lives some distance north of
the city orders them by thousand lots. I
was in New England last summer, and
while visiting a little town famous for its
collar makers saw an old plant used for
turning out the paper article. It had been
rusting away in silence for years, and I was
astonished at its size. The buildings easily
covered an acre, and the machinery was
enormous. I was told that in its heyday
the concern shipped its product all over the
world, and sold paper collars even in the
Fiji Islands. I supposed they must have
been used as trimmings for missionary
ragout.
“The celluloid collar industry is still
very much alive, and you may be surprised
to know that its trade last year was the
largest on record. Who buys them? Tots
of different people. Thousands are sold to
seafaring men, particularly those whose
voyaging takes them into the tropics.
France, Germany and Italy import an im-
mense number. Another big lot is sup-
plied under contract to the Russian army—
a fact not generally known—and I under-
stand there is a large sale of them in Tur-
key.
“The principal market in this country is
in the West. The lumbermen up in the
Minnesota and Wisconsin regions regard
them as very stylish, and they buy them
by the bale. In the cities they are worn
generally by policemen, who would find it
impossible to keep a linen collar looking
neat in bad weather. The great objection
to celluloid collars used to be their inflam-
mability. Their composition is very like
gun cotton, and it was formerly a common
joke to touch a match to a fellow’s neck
gear and see it vanish. You can’t do that
now. A new process has rendered them
fireproof.”’
Organized for Plunder.
During the past year this country gave
several thousand lives and several hundred
millions of treasure to free the Cubans from
oppression and the plundering of Spanish
officials. During the past month the
following, among other combinations, were
organized to oppress and plunder the Amer-
ican people, without a word of protest from
the authorities in Washington:
Flour mill trust, with a capital stock of
$75,000,000.
Tin plate trust. Capital stock, $50,000,-
000.
Church and school furniture trust. Capi-
tal stock, $6,000,000.
Pottery trust, with a capital stock of
$27,000,000.
American thread trust. Capital stock,
$14,000,000.
A milk trust, in the city of Chicago,
with a capital stock of $10,000,000.
Continental tobacco trust. Capital stock,
$75,000,000.
Got the Button.
‘So you want to marry my daughter,
eh?’' queried the old man. ‘‘Do you think
you have the patience and forbearance to
make her a kind and indulgent husband?’’
“I don’t know, sir,” replied the would-
be son-in-law. ‘I can button a stand-up
collar on a shirt that is half a size larger
without getting angry, and crawl under a
bureau, and—"’
“Say no more,’’ interrupted the old man.
*‘Say no more, but take her, my son, and
my blessing goes with her.”
——Catarrh is a disease which requires a
constitutional remedy. It cannot be cur-
ed by local applications. Hood’s Sarsapa-
rilla is wonderfully successful in curing ca-
tarrh because it eradicates from the blood
the scrofulous taints which cause it. Suf-
ferers with catarrh find a cure in Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, even after other remedies ut-
terly fail.
Hood’s Pills are prompt, efficient, al-
ways reliable, easy to take, easy to operate.

Because of the Growing Independence of
Woman.
From the Reading Times.
There are fewer marriages in proportion
to population than formerly, says the Read-
ing Times. ‘‘Families are smaller; they
are less coherent, they are less lasting. In
England the marriage rate fell from 17.2
per cent. in 1851 to 15.2 per cent. in 1881,
and from 1873 to 1888 the ages of men and
women who married rose respectively from
25.6 and 24.2 to 26.3 and 24.7. The rise
in the number of divorces, 1860-1885 was
universal.”

A ROMANCE OF THE WEST INDIES.—A book
that is certain to become very popular has just
been published by the F. Tennyson Neely
press of New York. It is “A Romance of
the West Indies,” a translation from the French
of Eugene Sue by Marian Longfellow and is
one of the cleverest stories of the year. It is
published in attractive form in red cloth and
printed on antique paper.
The story is a real romance and deals with the
adventures of Polypheme Croustillac, a poor Gas-
con, with glib tongue and ready wit, on the island
of Martinique, during the latter part of the seven-
teenth century, when piracy flourished among
the islands of the Carribean sea and England,
France and Spain were continually clashing over
their possession. On board a schooner from
Rochelle Croustillac hears of a fabulously rich
widow who is surrounded by a retinug of most
dangerous and semi-civilized retainers and
makes a wager to marry her within a month,
though he is told that she frequently marries, yet
becomes a widow again at will. Her castle is
impregnable but the adventurer finds his way in-
to it and finds that the Blue Beard mistress of it
is a divinely beautiful young girl, whom he soon
learns to love in an honorable fashion, but is una-
ble to reconcile his feelings to her unnatural a-
mours with a buceaneer, called ‘“Rend-your-Soul,”
a fillibuster called ‘‘Hurricane” and a cannibal
called “You-Maale, until he finds they are dis-
guises assumed by one and the same person and
that person is James, Duke of Monmouth, who
fled England after his supposed beheading.
It is a surprise from beginning to end. The
author has kept the real denouement so well con-
cealed that the interest of the reader is held until
the very last paragraph. Sometimes the work
has the weird, impossible drift of Rider Haggard
then it reminds the reader of the Dumas style.
It is certainly pleasing and delightfully fascina-
ting.
Marian Longfellow, who has given it the Eng-
lish, is a niece of the poet. She has been em-
ployed in literary pursuits for a number of years
and this latest work is certainly meritorious
enough to bring her into prominence for having
given to the public one of the best novels of the
year.
“Prue Axp I" 1x A Popurar Ebpirion.—George
William Curtis’ most populor story, “Prue and 1,”
which a recent writer in the New York Times
classes among the twenty-five best American nov-
els, and an eminent critic says embodies the
graced English literature since the time of Elia,
has just been issued in a very handsome and
handy cloth-bound volume, reduced in price from
$1.50 to 35c., by the famous cheap book publishing
house, Hurst & Co., 425 Grand Street, New York.
It may be had at all book stores or from the pub-
lishers.
The fifty-seventh volume of The Century prom-
ises to be especially rich in illustrations. The
December nuinber contains fifteen full-page pict-
ures, besides several pages of decorations; and
the January number will have even more.
Among these will be Miss Beaux's frontispiece
portrait of Admiral Sampson; Lieut. Hobson's
account of the sinking of the Merrimac will be
embellished by five full-page illustrations, besides
portraits, diagrams, etc.; and Prof. Wheeler's
“Alexander the Great” will have four, besides a
map of the Persian Empire. Of smaller pictures
there will be a host; but these full-page repro-
ductions of original designs by Miss Beaux, Cas-
taigne, Loeb, Varian, etc., give the magazine a
special interest to lovers of the art of pictorial il-
lustration.
