FARM NOTES.
—The supply of grit may be running
low. Itis just about as essential to the
fowls as teeth is to their owner.
—No crop pays better for generous
treatment than asparagus. A heavy coat-
ing of rotted manure should be forked in at
once. Much injury is sometimes done by
waiting until the young growths are push-
ing out from the crowns. The asparagus
being a maritime plant, is much benefited
by salt in some form. Along the coasts, in
European countries, it is a common prac-
tice to give the beds in the autumn a top
dressing of sea-weed, or sea sand, in addi-
tion to a good manuring, and, where
such is not available, a light dressing of
salt at the rate of about a barrel to the
acre. Bone is also a good fertilizer for this
plant. In digging, the fork is preferable
to the spade, the latter being in danger of
cutting the crowns or roots. Of course,
where it is grown extensively, the plow
takes the place of the fork. By the aid - of
a gentle hotbed this esteemed vegetable,
which has stood the tests of the world’s
forcing markets for upwards of two hun-
dred years, is easily produced. If there are
no plants in store since the autumn they can
be dug out of the bed in the garden and
placed closely together on three inches of
light soil in the frames, covering the same
depth. The finest forced asparagus is
grown in this way. The plants should not
be less than three years old, and if a year
or two older so much the better.
— While it may be admitted that corn is
a staple food, and corn meal the cheapest
and most convenient material in general
use on most farms, yet it is not the best
food for chicks, nor is corn the best for
fowls. In the winter, when the weather is
cold, and the birds should be kept warm,
then corn is the material for that purpose,
as it is rich in carbon and creates warmth;
bus for growing chicks it is insufficient. It
must be considered, unless a growing chick
is supplied with all the elements necessary
for assisting in the formation of bone and
muscle, it will gradually droop and die
without apparent cause, in the same man-
ner that a plant withers when not provided
with fertilizers, though sometimes the
chicks will appear healthy, but do not
grow. Very young chicks when fed on
corn meal are often attacked with howel
diseases. The safest plan to adopt fora
cure is to immediately change the food to
an entirely different kind. Some may
claim that they have raised chicks on corn
meal, which is true, but only when the
chicks have an opportunity to forage and
secure insects and worms. Exclusive corn
meal is only a partial and incomplete food.
. Young chicks quickly succumb to cold,
and more so todampuess. Even the young
duck cannot exist under damp surround-
ings. The chief objects, therefore, should
be to avoid dampness and to keep the
chicks warm. No hen should be allowed
to carry her chicks wherever she pleases in
cold weather. The supposition that the
hen and chicks must be on the ground, and
run at large, is a mistake. The hen that
is confined in a coop, with adry board floor
and where the chicks can at no time be-
come in the slightest degree damp, will be
successful in raising her brood. A coop
made of lath, and four feet square, will
provide ample accommodation for a hen
and ten chicks. No house is necessary if
the lath runs are kept under a shed or on a
barn floor. The chicks will demand at-
tention, however. Regularity of feeding,
and on a variety, with strict cleanliness, is
very important, but‘as the early chicks are
those that bring the high prices the poul-
tryman will be highly compensated for the
labor bestowed.— American Gardening.
—Every farmer thinks he knows how to
plow. It is fortunate that even the least
skillful can stir the soil enough to grow a
crop. It is unfortunate that so few can
plow well enough to raise the best crop at
Jeast tax on himself and team. We can
usually tell whether a man knows how to
plow by his manner of walking after or
holding a plow. If we see one clinging to
the handles with main strength and tug-
ging at them with pure awkwardness, it is
safe to say that he has not learned the art,
albeit he may have followed the plow many
years. Two men were plowing in the
same field, on the same land. They had
plows of the same make and number, but
looking at their work I noticed the furrows
showed in pairs. One plowman walked
easily, holding his plow without any ap-
parent effort. The other one wabbled in
the furrow and was making hard work of
it. When asked why the furrows turned
by their plows did not lap alike and leave
a uniform surface, the bungler said his
plow was of no account. It would not
stick in the ground unless he held it onto
the bar and pushed. A glance showed the
trouble was not in the plow. He had tak- |
en the doubletrees off the wagon as they
were handy, and the other man had the
doubletrees that suited and were made for
plowing. We sent him to get the right
doubletrees and found the trouble was as
we supposed. The plows cut fourteen
inches and the doubletrees should be doub-
le that. The one he had been using was
thirty-six inches long. Taking hold of his
plow and team for a few minutes we knew
by the feeling of the plow that it was not
taking enough land to run directly behind
the center of a draft. A change of the
draft let the plow run level and cut the
fourteen inches and turn the furrow to
match that of the other plow. Returning
to the field later I found the man yet lug-
ging at his plow, determined to make it do
work that would be approved. We could
see from the road that he was not letting
his plow and team do as well as they
might. He insisted that he must push and
raise the handles; no plow would run it-
self. He was working hard but doing poor
work. He had his hip straps too short and
was taxing his team and himself unneces-
sarily. This was adjusted for him and
after showing him how easy the work
could be done, he yet insisted there was a
difference in the plows. The next day we
found on our daily visit to the field that
something was not as we had set for him
the day before. He had shortened up his
traces, as he said horses could pull their
load better to it. We told him that was
true so long as he had the line of draft
right and that was easily put wrong by too
short or too long a stitch. After adjusting
the traces and testing the plow again to see
that it was ready to do the work well and
easy for man and team, we lett with orders
to let things be as now adjusted. The man
finally succeeded in plowing a decent fur-
row hut his lesson came like pulling teeth
and he was not willing to admit his faults
in the first place. It takes as much com-
mon sense and ingenuity to plow a good
furrow as well as drive a locomotive and I
further think a man should serve an ap-
prenticeship between the plow handles as
well as at the blacksmith forge.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The Maiden Swanwhite will make ber
debut with warm weather. Not in many
years have so many white frocks been seen.
Two or three strong-willed young women
have already announced an intention of
wearing nothing but white from May to
October—pique for cold days, nainsook
and muslin for warm ones.
Pique frocks are so-called by courtesy.
They are made this season of insertion with
pique enough to hold the trimming to-
gether. With nainsook the case is much
the same. Strips of lace or insertion alter-
nate with rows of tucks and allow no
glimpse of plain material.
It would be safe for any charity bazar to
offer, on short notice, a prize for an un-
trimmed summer dress—there would be no
claimants.
As breadth of appearance decreases, so
cubits of height are added. A long skirt,
a long, tapering waist and a hat trimmed
high appear as certainly together as the
three fates.
Cloth dresses made fanciful in some way
are quite a feature of fashion, but for those
who cannot afford many gowns the plainer
coat and skirt costume made by a first-class
tailor is the thing to have. In fact, there
is no costume which can compare with it
for general usefulness the year through,
and especially for the woman who wants to
dress stylishly on a small allowance. She
cau afford to spend at least one-third of her
yearly stipend on this gown rather than
dribble it away on two or three cheap ones.
This is the foundation for any well-chosen
wardrobe. and particularly for the woman
of limited means. The fashion for shirt
waists and fancy silk blouses, which like
the brook seems to go on forever, gives an
opportunity for great variety in this one
costume. Women who can have any num-
ber of gowns can afford to experiment with
cheap tailors, but the one with the small
dress allowance must see that she makes
no mistake in this one gown. With a tail-
or gown, cne well-made China silk, me-
dium in coloring, some pretty wash waists,
two piques uits and one or two organdies for
evening a young lady can make a very
good appearance all summer. Add to this
outfit a dressy gown of black net and the
young matron is supplied with all the nec-
essaries for a stylish summer wardrobe.
The shirtwaist resembling the old-fash-
joned ‘‘Garibaldi’’ waist is gaining more
and more ground each day. This style has
no yoke in the back, nor any fullness across
the shoulders. In the front it has just a
small cluster of gathers each side of the
pleat. In the back at the waistline the
fullness that comes in from the shoulders
is fulled in at the centre. This model is
undoubtedly attributable to the tuck craze
for when made in this style, shirt waists
are almost invariably tucked, very often
all over—sleeves and all—as if made from
all over tucking by the yard. A three-
quarter-inch strap, stitched down on the
shoulder seam, is a distinguishable feature
of the tailor made waists. Turned back
cuffs appear on the majority, but straight
or turned back, they have round corners
and are so narrow as to be little more than
a band. Four large pearl buttons fasten
The popularity of the turned
this as it may, the large, soft bow tie will
undoubtedly supersede the narrow string
tie.
A silk gown is almost a necessity in sum-
mer. There are many foulards to be
bought as cheaply as forty cents a yard if
an old fashioned pattern is chosen, and
there are ~o many designs in foulards now
that it would take a very keen observer to
detect what is or isnot a new design. This
gown should be made up effectively, but
not too elaborately, and be improved upon
by having two waists, one a plain color
and the other to match the skirt. If econ-
omy has to be consulted very closely, a fig-
ured black silk is better than a figured fou-
lard, as, for instance, a black and white
silk, for it will do double duty. One of
the waists can be made with a guimpe of |
net, and will do duty as an evening waist.
There are a great many pretty designs in
the figured black silk, a very thin quality
being the best to choose for summer wear.
One smart muslin frock is all sufficient. It
ought to be made up over a fitted lining.
A very good plan is to have the lining,
which, if possible, should be of taffeta silk, |
make quite separate from the gown. The
skirt must be cut with the greatest care,
and flare out well around the foot, and the
waist lining must fit to perfection. Any
sort of muslin will look well over it, and
two muslin gowns can often be made up to
wear over this one lining.
In this entire outfit it is not necessary,to
have more than half a dozen gowns, not in-
cluding the walking gown, and if any dis-
cretion is used in choosing the materials,
the entire cost will be very small, and quite
come under the head of a moderate priced
summer outfit. The muslin need not be of
the finest quality. There are some very
attractive ones for ten cents a yard, and
none of the other gowns that have been
spoken of involve great expense. The silk
gown will cost more than any other, but it
will not need a silk lining.— Harper's Ba-
zar.
Here are three artistic suggestions for
dressing the heads of little girls born to
the world of fashion who vary in age from
4 to 12 years.
No. 1.—At the age of 4, if babe’s fore-
head is broad and high, drape it with a
softly waved bang. Cut the hair so that,
when curled and combed out, it will form
two round, bunchy masses of locks at the
side of each cheek, with ends well curled
up, and not touching her little frock.
No. 2.—At the age of 6, the hair should
be waved and turned back from the face
very loosely, and then hang in loose, open
curls about the shoulders. Two curly
rings of hair should rest above the eye-
brows.
No. 3.—From the 10th to the 12th year
the hair is still allowed to hang in waved
locks, turned softly back from the face, a
la pompadour on top, but tucked behind
the ears. Its length should not extend be-
yond the collar band, but it is to be combed
out in a bunchy manner. In the middle
of the forehead one curly lock, while about
the forehead the hair is trained into grace-
ful irregularities.
The world is very sadly in need of more
home makers. A very common cause of
domestic disarrangement isa lack of discre-
tion in the house-mother’s estimate of her
own strength. She plans to do in one day
the duties of three, hence night finds the
household in disorder, and the wife and
mother tired, cross and nervous to such a
degree that she must be let alone. To
overdo is a needless tax on the mental as
well as the physical state. If the proba-
bility of interruptions were considered in
estimating a day’s work, one might be bet-
ter prepared to contend with the annoyan-
ces that attend them.

than to cure disease. Therefore, keep your
blood pure with Hood’s Sarsaparilla and be
always well.
