FARM NOTES.
—To make fence posts more durable take
boiled linseed oil, stir in pulverized coal to
the consistency of paint, and give the post
one or two thick coatings. Coal tar,
thickened with pulverized coal, will also
answer, but it will be better to first use the
linseed oil and then the coal tar. Apply
both mixtures warm. The object is to
protect the posts against water. After each
post is set in its place use the coal tar mix-
ture freely at the surface of the ground.
—Every garden usually hasa small patch
of onions. As onion sets are put in the
ground very early it will be an advantage
to spread manure over the plot intended
for the crop. As soon as it can be done
early in the spring spade the’ground, mix-
ing the manure with the soil as much as
possible, and then spread some fine, well-
rotted manure over the surface, raking it
well. The ground cannot be made too tine
and coarse manure should not be used.
Keep the grass and weeds out of the rows
and the crop will then care for itself if sets
instead of seeds are used. 3
—Timber cut for purposes where dura-
bility is a consideration is worth from two
to four times as much if cut between July
15th and August 15th, as the same would
be cut in January to April. If a tree is cut
after the starch, which enters into its
chemical composition, has changed to
sugar, say in March, the worms being very
the wood; but if cut in July, after the
completion of. the spring growth, there is
no sugar in the sap or wood, and they seek
some more savory food.
Another reason is because if cut when
the sap is rich in sugar the fermentative proc-
ess changes the sugar into an acid, which
is the very first stage of decay, and if decay
is thus early initiated is it any wonder
that posts and ties do not last as they
would if cut’ when these conditions could
not possibly exist?
In 1860 a fence was set with posts split
from an oak cut when the leaves were of
full size and vigor. Twenty-two years
afterward this fence was reset with posts
cut in August. The posts taken up were
reset elsewhere, and most of them ‘are do-
ing duty yet. Three of the posts set in
1860 are in good condition, after doing
good service for thirty-six years. As a
rule, a post cut in March, when full of
sugar sap, will last only ten years. It
costs just as much to replace a tie or post
that will last ten years as to replace one
that will last three or four times as long.
This is quite a consideration when we con-
sider that our forests are fast: disappearing
—much faster than they are reproduced.
Timber land cut off in from January to
April will sprout and grow up again, be-
cause the sap at this season of the year is
rich in sugar, to reproduce the leaves,
which are the lungs as well as digestive
organs of vegetation, but if cut the last of
July or the first half of August dies be-
cause deprived of both. This idea is valua-
ble to those who wish to destroy certain
kinds of trees or to clean up brush land.
— American Agricullurist.
—Mrs.C.P.Dandant, the well known au-
thority in beedom, has been giving a series
of interesting articles in American Bee Jour-
nal from one of which, in regard to the care
of bees for wintering the following is se-
lected: :
A number of apiarists say that they pay
no attention to the spot occupied by the
bees when removed, and that when they
take them out in tne spring it does not
matter much where they are placed,
whether on the exact spot they occupied
before winter or in the place of another.
Once or twice we had considerable trouble
from changing the location of hives, and
have positively ascertained that many of
the bees remember their former location,
after three months of wintering, so we take
particular pains to mark each hive’s stand.
To do this without trouble, we leave the
cap or cover with the roof over it in the ex-
act spot occupied by the hive and remove
only the brood chamber to the cellar. In
this manner the hives occupy a much
smaller space, and it is easier to give them
good ventilation, which is absolutely
necessary to keep the combs from molding,
if the cellar is at all damp.
We pile the hives in the cellar, two or
three or even four tiers high, usually put-
ting the lower tier on timbers raised a foot
or so from the ground. We have always
noticed that the colonies nearest the ground
were the ones that suffered, if any did.
After the hives are in, darkness, quiet-
ness, a proper temperature and a sufficient
amount of ventilation are all that are
necessary. For these hives, as well as
for those that are out in cold days, it is a
great point to have everything perfectly
quiet. The man who will disturb his bees
every other day, just to see whether they
are still alive, will be unsuccessful, if the
circumstances are at all unfavorable, for it
is very easy to kill the bees with too much
kindness of this sort.
The time of removal of bees in the spring
is of utmost importance to consider. If
they are taken out too early, they may not
have occasion to fly much, and their power
of endurance during a late cold seems to
have been taken away from them by their
prolonged stay in the cellar. They are
very much like a horse that is kept in a
warm barn. He is more apt to be fretful
of the cold and to suffer than one that stays
all winter in a cold stable. Yet our sym-
pathies are all in the direction of the softer
treatment. With the bees there was on
our part, as in the fall, a tendency to be
too much afraid of a long confinement. I
believe it was Dr. Miller who said the best
time to remove the bees from the cellar
was in March or April, at the opening of
the soft buds of maple bloom. This is a
very good criterion.
But, above all things, a warm day must
be selected to remove the bees from their
confinement. If you take them out on a
cold day, their anxious desire to take a
flight - will induce them to venture out
when the temperature is too low for their
safety, and many of them will perish. If
the day is warm and pleasant, they will
take a cleansing flight within a very few
minutes after they have been brought out,
and are thereafter ready for their habitual
duties.
I have often been asked whether it is ad-
visable to take the bees out on a warm day
during the winter for a good flight and put
them back again. I have never tried this,
but from all that I ever heard I do not be-
lieve such a course is successful. The bees
after their flight begin to rear some brood
and remain less quiet than if they had been
kept indoors all winter.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The really correct skirt has only one gore
and that is in front. All the rest of the
skirt from the front part of the hips is cut
from one piece, the bias of the goods fall-
ing exactly in the middle of the back.
The gore in the front is very narrow, say
seven inches at the top, widening as it goes
toward the bottom. This is for a medium
sized woman. Remember this is the only
gore in.the skirt.
. The average width for a good skirt either
for walking or the house is four yards.
That is the width adopted by the best
dressmakers. As there is a lack of crino-
line in the hem this four yards has the ap-
pearance of being very much less full than
it is, for it swings around the feet in the
most approved and graceful manner.
The skirt should grow an inch longer
at each measurement. Take forty as the
length for the middle of the front of the
skirt, then forty-one at the front of the hip,
forty-two at the point of the hip, and for-
ty-three in the middle of the back. The
tendency of this skirt in trying it on must
slope downward and the skirt must be fit-
ted a little high on the back. The placket
is made in the back by cutting open the
middle of the bias. The natural flare of
the skirt is confined into two pleats,
stitched at this opening. They are made
to meet over the placket so that the open-
ing will not show. Face the edges of the
placket and fasten them with two hooks.
Another point, if a woman has a large
abdomen, or is very full around the hips,
the skirt is apt to jerk out in the middle of
the front gore if not fitted most perfectly.
The remedy for this defect that is satis-
factory and final is to lift it up in the back.
In watching out for this the skirt should
be cut extra long in the back and keep lift-
ing it up to the belt until the hips take on
the lines that they should have to be well
fitted. ‘‘Do not‘cut the skirt by an abso-
lute measurement of the back, and do not
allow anything for this lifting process;
make the extra length either at the top or
at the bottom and then have someone fit it
on until this jerking in the front of the
skirt is entirely removed.” Keep pushing
your fullness toward the front gore; not to-
ward the back. Fit it to the bias until an
almost straight line prevails, then stitch it
on to the front gore and you will find that
it fits very much better.
So many amateurs, and among them so
many dressmakers, keep pushing that ful-
ness of the hips toward the back and tak-
ing it up there; this leaves a drawn look
on the hips and is very apt to pull the
skirt up in the front. Now a very little
fullness, in fact, almost none, is needed for
the placket. No fullness is particularly
desired anywhere around the belt line, so
you will make, a very ugly mistake when
you put this fullness into pleats near the
placket. Whatever fullness there is let it
fall freely over the point of the hip. This
is where the lines of the bias are
needed, for this is the point that requires
the perfect length. Nothing is uglier than
the skirt that dips in the front and in the
back, and shortens up in the ripples at the
side.
The skirt after this pattern must touch
in the back, and simply shave the floor in
front. This skirt may be cut with the lin-
ing in it or separate. It is prettier when
the lining is separate. The new way of
cutting the linings is after the same pat-
tern as the skirt. The hem is made 4
inches above the ground, and the bottom of
the hem is split and a box pleating of silk
is inserted in it. This lining is only at-
tached to the skirt at the belt and serves
as a petticoat. There is no use in encour-
aging a woman to think that these skirts
are easy to make, for they are not. Even
the best dressmakers worry over them.
However, most women want these skirts
because they are the newest. Four yards
in the five-gored skirt is a good width, and
in that skirt, as well as in the other, the
same length in the back is demanded.
Women with long faces frequently make
the mistake of wearing the hair low
on the forehead in the hope of shorten-
ing the countenance. Whether the hair
should be worn high or low depends on the
setting of the eyes and the quality of the
face. The eyes should be in the middle of
the face. Draw an imaginary line across
the top of the head and another below the
chin. The eyes should be just half way
between these two lines, and if not then
the hair should be so arranged as to give
this effect. If they are too near the top
line, arranging the hair low on the forehead
only increases this ‘effect. The quality of
the face is also to be considered in the ar-
rangement of the hair. A strong face,
which would be brutalized by wearing the
hair low, is often given a most beautiful
spiritual expression by arranging it high on
the head.
In the frosty weather, particularly if
dark clothes are worn, the hands very soon
become soiled, and require frequent wash-
ing. They should be washed in warm
water, not hot water, and if possible, in
soft water. After washing they should be
dried very thoroughly in bran or oatmeal,
and great care taken that the nails are
most thoroughly dry; in the drying the
cuticle can be pushed back sufficiently to
show the half moon at the base of the nail.
Nail scissors, not used for any other pur-
pose, should be used to cut off hang-nails;
but it is better to use a file to keep the nails
short, and for this purpose there should be
three or four files of varying size. To give
the luster desired, there is a new kind of
wash that makes the nails pink, not deep
red, and also gives a gloss and finish.
After this is put on the hands should be
washed, but sufficient of the polish will re-
main, says Harper's Bazar.
After the hands are washed the second
time to remove the polish the nails should
be rubbed briskly, either with a piece of
chamois, a nail-polisher, or by rubbing
them again with the palm of the hand.
The last method is, perhaps, the best of all
for it polishes just enough without giving
too exaggerated a finish in appearance.
Rings are so much the fashion that the
hands must of necessity be well kept, but
it is a mistake to wear too many rings, par-
ticularly with a plain gown; it is to be
hoped that it will soon go out of fashion to
wear them with anything but evening
dress.
The long shoulder seam is the fad
on gowns of both tailor and dressmaker
build. It extends two inches beyond the
beginning of the shoulder, and is often
given the appearance of more breadth still
by a little cap-like extension which covers
the top of the sleeve. The puff bas en-
tirely disappeared, as well as the wrinkled
sleeve, save in an occasional instance where
a soft muslin or chiffon sleeve is desired
for a demi-toilet. The unlined lace sleeve
is smooth, and in one case was extremely
old-time looking because of the fact that
the velvet bodice to which it was attached
was high necked and chokered with a lace
cravat over a silk foundation. The un-
lined sleeves were of black Chantilly lace,
payers $101.00, and he was a worthless cur
at that. :
ard were finished with lace flounces, deep
and full at the elbows.
Coles for February.
The Position of the Planets and the Stormy Periods.
Prof. C. Coles in “Storms and Signs’’ for
February says:
The month of February presents a strange
and striking condition of planetary affairs.
The planets are all on one side of the heav-
ens, and two planets in each, every other
sign.
month will be composed of ‘‘low ebb”
days, and the second and the third week of
‘“‘high flood’’ days, making a fighting com-
bination of extraordinary character which
may result in a great surprise even to the
oldest inhabitant. The magnetic and elec-
tric currents will be greatly confused and
unbalanced and will cause strange elec-
trical phenomena that will interfere with
the running of all electrical machines, and
cause strange electrical storms and a cli-
matic condition known as the ‘‘suicide,”’
or ‘‘crime wind,”’ which is indicated by a
soft, most, warm air that settles heavily on
the earth, and drives people to madness.
Just notice the awful crimes that the papers
on both continents will record this month.
THE STORM SIGNALS.
The excess of ‘‘high flood’’ days last
month drove the awful storms to the other
side of the world, according to our theory
given in December forecasts. This month
the ‘low ebb’’ forces are together and have
completely surrounded the ‘‘high flood’’
vital forces, as shown on our storm cal-
endar, and what the result will be we can-
not tell, because it is a new position in the
play of the planets that has never been
presented before, to our knowledge. And,
a great sea of gaseous matter is passing over
the sun, which, if a break occurs in it any
time between the 4th and 12th, the 14th
and 17th or the 20th and 27th, will cause
awful storms and floods, blizzards and snow
blockades. Those living along rivers and
streams should keep a careful watch out for
the safety of their property, and their fam-
ilies. If a break does not occur then very
unseasonable weather will predominate
and much sickness will result from the
gorged condition of rivers and streams—
nature’s open sewers—which are filled with
deadly germs imprisoned in ice; the warm
sun rays will burst their prison doors and
allow them to escape, and an epidemic of
fevers and bowel troubles will follow.
$10,000 Bird Dead.
Emma Thursby’s Mynah, Gifted Songster, Which
Spoke Five Languages, Succumbs to the Grip,
Mynah, a wonderful bird of the Orient,
who spoke five languages and imitated all
manner of musical instruments is dead.
He belonged to Miss Emma Thursby, a
well-known singer, who lives at No. 34
Gramercy Park, New York.
Many bird fanciers have spoken of Mynah
as the cleverest of his kind. Miss Thursby
valued him at $10,000. He was presented
to her twelve years ago by the Emperor
William of Germany, grandfather of the
present ruler. It was then three years olg,
and had traveled on steamers nearly around
the world.
At the bird show, several months ago,
he was the centre of attraction. His fre-
quent inquiries of ‘What are you doing
there?”’ came with such directness that
those within reach of his voice became
humble and hastened to explain that they
were doing nothing at all.
STORE OF LANGUAGE INCREASED.
He was an accomplished linguist ' at that
time, and his store of languages increased
year by year. He spoke Malay, Chinese,
French, German and English. One of the
choicest bits in his repertoire was a Chi- 4:
nese dirge, which he sang with bewilder-
ing effect.
GOOD IMITATION OF A BANJO.
It was as an entertainer of children that
Mynah will be remembered by a large cir-
cle of friends. Miss Thursby gave several
entertainments during the holidays. On
December 30th last, a score of children
from the tenements were invited to an en-
tertainment given by the bird. Mynah was
the entire program. He sang songs from
several languages and gave an imitation of
a banjo. He responded to several encores.
The youngsters went away with his cheery
goodby ringing in their ears.
Mynah’s performance for the poor chil-
dren was his last public appearance. He
had contracted the grip. He grew weaker,
and last Friday week he passed away. A
taxidermist is preparing him for a place
under a bell glass. :
A Goon REMEDY FOR BoiLs—*‘I never
knew what a boil was until recently I have
been afflicted with a number of these dis-
agreeable eruptions. I began taking Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and in a short time it purified
my blood and the boils entirely disappear-
ed and I have not had any trouble with
them since.”” Clarence Hertz, Hazelton,

——Paul Addison, of Ellwood, Ind., re-
cently sued the town because his little boy
of eight fell into a sewer and was drowned.
The jury gave Addison a verdict for $599.-
95, the net cash value of the boy’s life
from eight to twenty-one, when he would
have been his own master, figuring it in
this way: From eight to ten years old
the boy would have been able to make 45
cents a week. ' During that period it would
have cost five cents a week to keep him.
From five to twelve he would have made
75 cents a week, and it would have cost
$1.25 to keep him. From twelve to four-
teen he would have made $4 a week, and
tne living cost would have been $2. From
fifteen to eighteen he would have made $5
a week, and the living cost would have
been $4. By the jury’s calculation, the
most valuable time of the child’s life would
have been from fifteen to eighteen.
