FARM NOTES.
—The cow will pay for what she receives,
but she will not give something for noth-
ing. She may be well bred and capable of
sroducing an unusual quantity of milk and
butter, but she will not do so unless she is
iberally supplied with the raw materials
suitable for her purpose.
—Grain and vegetable foods are nourish-
ing and contain more of the elements to
supply the wants of human beings than
does animal food. The mineral matter,
protein, fat, sugar and starch can be found
in all vegetable substances, while meat is
sometimes deficient in both the fat, starch
and mineral substances. Horses perform
heavy labor on corn, oats, hay and grass,
and even the meats are produced from vege-
table substances.
—Corn cobs are not valued by farmers as
they should be, yet they are exceedingly
rich in potash, and it will pay an enter-
prising farmer to buy them for fuel, the
ashes to be saved. Corn husks are used in
the manufacture of beds, being sent to
market in bales. They must be clean and
bright, and must be harvested before they
are damaged by wet weather. Corn stalks
are shredded and sold in bales in some sec-
tions, where hay or bedding is scarce.
— Careful stacking saves much loss of hay
and straw. But few farmers stack their
hay, preferring to put it away in the mow,
but straw is usually left outside. There is
some skill required in stacking straw so as
to pretect it, and it is more valuable if
bright and clean. Cattle will pick over
the straw even when well supplied with
hay, and they will eat a large proportion
of clean straw when they will not touch
that which has become wet and mouldy.
—Good grooming is important in mak-
ing a horse’s coat shine? using the brush
vigorously. Begin feeding a handful of
linseed meal night and morning, mixing it
with a little bran or cornmeal, increasing
the allowance daily until a pint is used.
It will loosen the skin and greatly benefit
the animal in many ways. Should it prove
too laxative reduce the quantity. Linseed
meal may be given to all horses regularly
twice a week with advantage.
—Nature restores soils to fertility by
covering them. The barren soil will in
time support some kind of plant life, and
each year will witness more plants and
greater growth. The leaves of trees fall to
the ground and serve to cover the soil, and
in every case where growth can be secured
there is no bare soil. It is when the ground
is covered that the formation of humus oc-
curs and the covering protects the soil from
loss of plant food from rains, while the
roots convert the mineral substances of the
subsoil into soluble matter.
—Ammonia is much lighter than the air
and rises. It contains a large proportion
of hydrogen, the lightest of all substances,
as well as nitrogen. Ammonia results from
the decay or fermentation of the substances
in the manure, and it is seldom that it is
not present in the heap. Cold water ab-
sorbs it, and when the odor of ammonia is
easily noticed it will not be a mistake to
force a crowbar into the heap in several
places, and pour cold water into the holes,
or the heap should be over-hanled and
plenty of absorbent material added.
—The advertised ‘‘lice killers’’ used for
destroying lice on poultry are made prin-
cipally with naphthaline as the main sub-
stance. Dissolve as much naphthaline in
a gallon of kerosene as it will take up, then
add a gill of crude carbolic acid two gills
of gas tar and a quart of crude petroleum.
When wanted for use paint it on the roots
or wherever lice may appear. The naph-
thaline evaporatesand penetrates the feath-
ers of the fowls while they are on the roost,
destroying the large body lice as well as the
small mites. The cost is but a small sum.
—Dairymen who desire cows to remain
in flow of milk begin with them early. It
is claimed that a cow with her first and
second calves should be milked up to with-
in a month of the time of the birth of the
third calf. After that she will be a per-
sistent milker. All habits of cows are fixed
when they are young. The kind treatment
of the heifer influences her disposition
when she becomes a cow and the surround-
ings also affect the animal in many respects.
Some cows when removed to another locali-
ty become discontented and do not fulfill
expectations or prove as valuable as before.
—The admonition frequently given to
clean the fence corners from weeds and
rubbish may be repeated at this season, as
the weeds have been touched by frost and
are dead and dry. They should be cleared
out and burned. Sometimes the work can
be done with a rake. Later in the season,
when the snow covers the ground, it may
be more difficult to collect rubbish and
burn it. All material on the farm that
has no value should be consumed, as by
consigning such to the flames many insects
will be destroyed. Rubbish and dead
weeds make excellent harboring places for
field mice. .
—Every consumer of honey ought to
know that all pure extracted honey granu-
lates and becomes a waxy mass resembling
lard in cold weather. It granulates early
in autumn after taken from the hives on
the approach of cool weather and remains
so ever afterward unless it is heated up
nearly to the boiling point, when it returns
again to liquid. Glucose and other syrups
used to adulterate honey do not thus
granulate, but remain liquid, and all such
found on the market and offered for honey
may be looked upon with suspicion. The
masses of the people have the mistaken
idea just the reverse of this and form their
conclusions that the purely liquid article is
the pure honey and that the granulated
article is some kind of sugar.
—There is mote poor cheese on the mar-
ket than can be sold, yet the demand for a
full-cream cheese is greater than the sup-
ply. If any one wishes to know how cheese
sells it is only necessary to visit any reli-
able merchant, and it will be noticed that
there is a wide difference between good and
inferior cheeses go far as the prices are con-
cerned. Filled cheese has greatly injured
the cheese industry, but there are excellent
openings for farmers to co-operate in mak-
ing cheese of the best quality. The milk
must not be skimmed from oue milking,
the next milking to be left untouched, but
the whole milk from all the milkings
should be used. Taking time to properly
cure the cheese is another point. The de-
sire to hurry cheese to market is one of the
causes of lack of quality. The European
fancy cheeses brought to this market owe
their excellence to being well cured, and
they bring high prices. Much of the cheap
cheese is unfit for consumption, being in-
digestible because lacking in fat and also
being too ‘‘green.’’ Cheese is salable every
month in the year, and it is sometimes
difficult to get a first-class article.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The fashion of stitched bands that was
eagerly adopted by many women last win-
ter seems to have redoubled in value in-
stead of losing. The most elegant frocks
this winter show this manner of trimming
on everything. Circular flounces on the
foundation skirts instead of having tucks
have two or three graduated bands from an
eighth of an inch to an inch wide, holding
four or five bands of stitching.
The newest idea is to trim chiffon bodices,
and even those of Liberty silk and satin,
with bands of stitched cloth. For instance,
Isaw a white chiffon bodice made over
pale green Liberty satin. Down the front
went seven rows of pale green broadcloth
cut half inch wide and stitched down three
times with white silk thread. These bands
graduated to a point at the girdle. There
were three more bands down the middle of
the back. The cloth was satin faced broad-
cloth of the thinnest texture.
The white cloth and white flannel waists,
with a colored dot or stripe, are just now
in marked favor. Those described a month
ago as models from the other side have been
copied, and now waists of wool in regular
shirt waist style can be purchased at any
of the best dry goods houses. These fit
perfectly, and they are at once neat,dainty,
serviceable and becoming; and, being sim-
ply made, are easily cleaned.
Table linen should be ironed when quite
damp and ironed with a very hot and very
heavy iron.
Embroideries should be ironed on a thin,
smooth surface over thick flannel, and on-
ly on the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of a little refined borax in the
water instead of using a washing fluid.
The black velvet ribbon stock and bow
with long ends is the most prominent fad
on the streets. It takes two yards of rib-
bon, and the number 12 size is the most
popular. It is wound around the neck
twice, with a very small bow at the throat
and very long ends. The cross piece at the
neck usually holds a fancy jeweled brooch.
Another black velvet ribbon faucy is to
wear with any light tinted stock a very
narrow velvet. This is about half an inch
wide, and is worn at the foot of the stock
and simply crossed and fastened with a lit-
tle brooch in front. The contrast with the
lighter colors is very pretty.
The best skirt of to-day which seems
probable to last until next winter has a box
plait down the middle of the back. It fits
very snugly around the hips, the box plait
is stiched down to give a flat appearance at
the back and the skirt flares from the
knees.
1t is long in front and at the sides and
dips from eight to fifteen inches in the
back. Ten inches is the medium which
most dressmakers use for a standard on
cloth gowns. House gowns are made with
the full fifteen inches. Either five or three-
gored pattern is good form, but for any-
thing except a walking gown a three-gored
is preferred. If it is a walking gown the
lining is made with it. If it is a more
elaborate frock the lining is made separate.
No stiffening is used at the bottom.
Shaped ruffles are still in evidence, but are
worn more as a foundation for a tunic than
on a plain skirt. All seams are still strap-
ped or ornamented with a design.
The authoritative tone that the majority
of young women take with their mothers
nowadays is not precisely an indication of
good breeding; but then good breeding
seems to be rapidly going out of fashion,
complains a woman of the world. A few
relics of it are still left, just enough to show
how delightful a thing it was. A really
courteous man is now described as being
‘‘of the old school.”” A really high-bred
woman ia called ‘‘old-fashioned.’’
Nobody would like to see children go
hack to thestilted stiffness of the days when
they called their parents ‘‘Sir”’ and
‘‘Madam.’’ But their present demeanor is
the reverse of polite or gentle, and reflects
but little credit on themselves or on those
who have brought them up. The mothers
seem to get accustomed to this kind of
brusquerie from their daughters, and do
not preceive its effect upon people who hear
and see it for the first time.
But men notice it. Only last week a
young man said to me at a dinner party :
“I wish my brother was here. He’s rath-
er gone on Miss Bengaline; but he’d have
changed his mind if he’d heard her snub
her poor old father as she did just now.”’
‘Girls do nowadays,’ I said.
“Nice girls don’t,”’ said he. ‘‘There’s
Miss Marguerite. She adores her mother,
and watches her to see if she wants any-
thing, and waits on her, eye and hand and
foot. She’s the girl for me.”
From Paris comes the news. ‘‘One very
rarely sees an overskirt on the new fall
gowns in Paris, and the best tailors and
dressmakers are making none at all. The
new skirts are made very simply and plain-
ly and are noticeable for their perfect lines
and folds.”
It has been whispered that many of the
graceful, lithe figures of society owe their
of corsets. Whether this be true or not, it
is a fact thatsome one is wearing the dainty
little satin girdles and very low cut bone-
less bodices which one sees displayed in the
corset shops.
Rather to our discomfort we find, that
this year, fashion has decreed that large
granny muffs are to be used by well-dress-
ed women. Those of us who have the or-
dinary fur muff look at it with despair,
wondering how it can be enlarged so as to
make it up to date. Take the lining out
of your muff and cut it down the center,
making of it two bands. Mount these on
your muff, making the center part of drawn
velvet with large double frills of the same
on either side of the muff. A knot of lace
on the top of the muff and a large bunch
of violets nestling among it will complete
the muff and make it absolutely up todate.
If you wear white gloves much line your
muff with white glace silk, for this will
not soil your gloves as the ordinary colored
lining will do.
Large frills on either side of a muff are
extremely fashionable. Some have the
further addition of lace inside them. A
muff of this kind with a velvet toque to
match is exceedingly smart.
A leading tailor is making a special-
ty of cream cloth coats, cut only
a few inches below the waist, with
sable collar and revers, and red cloth coats
trimmed with white fur. The contrasts
are very smart, and both red and white are
to be much patronized daring the winter.

Choice Recipes.
Virginia Cream Sherbet—Three pints of
water, juice of four lemons, and one cup of
sugar mixed together. Beat to a froth the
whites of three eggs, one half-pint sweet
cream and one ounce of sugar. When stiff
mix with the water and lemon juice and
freeze. Oranges or oranges and lemons
may be used instead of lemons alone.
Spanish Fudge—One cup of cream (or
cream and milk), two cups of light brown
sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla, butter
size of small walnut, one half cup chopped
English walnuts. Dissolve sugar in the
cream by boiling ; add butter ; when this
begins to thicken pour in the vanilla and
chopped nuts; stir constantly and when
the ‘‘fudge’’ begins to cream pour in but-
tered tin ; cut when cold. These fudges
need not be boiled as long as the chocolate.
To make double the quantity I wounld ad-
vise making two batches instead of one.
The result is a finer grain.
Turkey Filled With Oysters—Put in the
frying pan over a clear fire a teaspoonful of
butter. Heat until slightly brown, then
cut into it a small onion. Stir until the
union is nicely fried. Add to it two cup-
fuls of bread crumbs and stir until well
mixed. Chop fine a teaspoonful of parsley
a bay leaf, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
and a teaspoonful of salt. Drain the juice
from twenty-five oysters and add them to
the bread crumbs. Fill the turkey and
roast. The same recipe may be used for a
turkey that is to be boiled. Chestnuts
make a delicious stuffing for roast turkey.
They should be boiled and the skin re-
moved and the chestnuts mashed with but-
ter. Whole chestnuts should also be used
in thickening the gravy.
Chocolate Cake—Half cup butter.
One cup sugar.
Half cup milk.
Two cups flour,
Two eggs.
One and a half teaspoons baking powder,
mix all together.
Take half cake chocolate.
Half cup milk.
One cup sugar.
Yolks of two eggs and cook these ingre-
dients until the thickness of cream, when
cool.
Flavor with vanilla and add half cup
flour and one and a half teaspoons baking
powder.
Mix all together and bake in three
layers.
Put together with boiled icing, using the
whites of the two eggs.
RECIPE 2.
Dissolve two ounces chocolate in five tea-
spoons boiling water.
Cream, half cup butter.
One and a half cups cugar.
Yolks of four eggs, beat all thoroughly,
then add chocolate.
Half cap sweet milk.
One and three-quarters cups flour.
Two teaspoons vanilla, beat the whites
of the four eggs to a stiff froth, stir careful-
ly into the mixture.
Bake in three layers.
Put together with boiled icing.
A Bean that Sows Its Own Seed.
A curious fruit has been discovered
growing wild in Batavia. It is a bean re-
sembling a cigar in form and color, though
it is only an inch long. What makes it
interesting is the way in which it scatters
seeds. If one of the little fruits be thrown
into water it will rest quietly on the sur-
face from two to five minutes, then it will
explode, hurling its contents into the air like
a small torpedo. Usually it splits open
lengthwise. It it is left to ripen on the
plant the opening is sudden, and accom-
panied with a slight noise, though much
less than when it has been placed in water.
The curious property in exploding helps
the little plant in the dissemination of its
seeds, which otherwise would have only a
poor chance on account of unfavorable con-
ditions of its habitat.
——The Medical Record gives the follow-
ing ‘‘more or less good advice to doctors’’—
and sounds as though it might also be good
for their patients: ‘‘Drink less, breathe
more ; eat less, chew more ; ride less, walk
more ; clothe less, bathe more ; worry less,
work more ; waste less, give more ; write
less, read more; preach less, practice
more.”’

ings, your social position or business suc-
cess depend largely on the perfect action of

union.

farmer. The more conservative farmer wants to see the goods before he buys, and buy where he can
get repairs when needed, for he knows that the best machinery will wear out in time. Goods well
bought is money saved. Money saved is money earned. Buy from the largest house, biggest stock
lowest prices ; where the guarantee is as good as a bond; where you can sell your corn, oats, wheat
