FARM NOTES.
—An overgrowth of rye or wheat in the
fall can he held in check by sheep, and
greatly to the gain of the flock.
—The farmer who does not improve his
stock cannot compete in the market with
his progressive neighbor. The butter from
a cow which produces 10 pounds a week
can be sold at 20 cents per pound and give
a larger profit than the butter from a cow
giving only five pounds a week and sold at
30 cents per pound. The use of choice cows
reduces the number in the herd and saves
labor, also more room, while inferior cows
compel the dairyman to keep more cows
than he should in order to make a profit.
—Grinding the corn and cob does not add
much to the ration, but the ground cob
serves to dilute the grain and increase the
bulk, which makes the combination better
than the ground grain alone. When used
with ground oats and bran it is an excel-
lent food, and it may be used with cut
straw or hay. All grain food when ground
will give better results if fed with bulky
materials, and the condition of the animals
will be improved when both kinds are fed
together.
—There is plenty of work to do in winter
if the farm is rightly managed. It is the
season of the year forall repairs and renew-
als. Every implement or piece of machin-
ery should be overhauled and all repairs
ordered, so as to beready for spring work.
An implement that is in good order saves
labor and enables the farmer to hurry with
the early work when every day is valuable.
The farmer who does not place his imple-
ments under cover at this season may be
forced to buy new ones much sooner than
he expects.
—Light and heavy soils are accepted as
terms applying to sandy and clay locations.
A sandy soil is considered light, but in
reality it is heavier than clay soil so far as
weight of soil is concerned; but a light soil
is one that is easy to work, hence the ap-
plication tosandy soil. Clay soils may be
sticky when wet or bake hard when dry,
requiring much labor before the soil can be
gotten in proper condition for crops, but a
sandy soil is always mellow, seldom clogs
and can be worked at any time during the
season.
—Cows go dry from mismanagement more
than from any other cause. Irregularity
of milking and failure to ‘‘strip’’ when
milking will cause any cow to dry off. The
richest milk is the last drawn from the ud-
der, and for that reason alone the dairymen
should strip closely. Change of food when
made suddenly, will also cause the cow to
fall off in yield; but in winter the cause
may also be due to extreme cold and insuf-
ficient shelter, while in summer the use of
netting in the windows to protect the sta-
bles agaiust the entrance of flies and other
insects will serve to prolong the milking
period.
—There is nothing so repulsive as a wet
and filthy barnyard, in which the animals
are compelled to walk knee deep in filth.
Such a condition is not necessary and can
be prevented if the barnyard is kept well
supplied with absorbent materials. Throw-
ing whole cornstalks into the barnyard is
the old method, but cornstalks do not ab-
sorb until they are trampled to pieces, and
in the meantime much of the liquids are
carried off by rains. It will pay to shred
the cornstalks or cut the straw for bedding,
while leaves and dry earth may also be us-
ed in the barnyard with advantage.
—Manure can be spread on the clover
fields with benefit and will not only in-
crease the yield next year, but also serve
to protect the young clover during the win-
ter. Cold weather will not seriously dam-
age clover, but when there are ‘‘warm
spells” in winter, and the ground freezes
and thaws, the plants may be thrown up
and the roots broken. Manure will keep
the temperature of the ground more uni-
form, and should the season be dry in sum-
mer it will assist in retaining moisture.
Should the manure contain lumps the frost
and rain will reduce them. There is no
crop that will give better returns for the
manure used upon it than clover.
—Occasionally some one rises up and
emphatically condemns the use of salt for
hogs, but fails to give the reasons for such
strong assertions. It is just as reasonable
to say that man does not need salt. The
digestive organs in the hog are nearer in re-
semblance to those of man than any other
animal. If hogs had no relish for salt, it
would give some ground for such state-
ments. Some are often killed, and that
very suddenly, by getting an overdose of it,
and they take the overdose because of the
excessive craving forit. Prevent this crav-
ing by a liberal supply constantly before
‘them and they will not eat so much as to
be sickened and killed. With man the
amount used is considerably a matter of
training and habit. Still we should be
counted wide of the mark if we said we
could be trained to do without, and that he
is better off without it. When mixed
with wood ashes, there is very little danger
of swine eating so much of the mixture
that the salt will be injurious. If the
ashes are from hard wood, and uncleaned,
they are much better because they rid the
system of worms.
—Milk is an excellent poultry food, fed
in any way. It is the cheapest animal
food that you can buy if you can get it for
one cent a gallon. Recent experiments
have proved it to he one of the best hot
weather animal foods for chicks or laying
fowls. It is, however, considered neces-
sary to supply some additional meat food
to get the best results in eggs. The milk
should be fed daily and the meat twice a
week, and good results follow. Beef
plucks are an exceptionally good and
cheap meat food. They are much cheaper
than bone. We should feed milk and heef
pluck, and would consider that we were
getting our animal food very cheap.
You can feed the plucks to best advant-
age by varying the manner of preparing.
Probably they will be best when cooked.
The best way to prepare plucks to have
them keep sweet will be to run them
through a meaf®utter or sausage machine
and then boil the minced meat. Skim off
all the fat and strain the soup after cook-
ing meat thoroughly. Use the liquor for
mixing mash. The cooked meat, should
be well dried in a moderate oven. If
properly prepared it will keep some time.
It should be kept in a cool, dry place and
out of the way of insects. We would not
prepare a very large quantity, as it is liable
to ‘‘heat.”” We have no trouble keeping
meat so prepared for a month, even in hot
weather. It must be thoroughly dried or
it will spoil.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
A collection of crests, monograms and
similar devices cut from letters may be
utilized by arranging them on frames of
white wood, which may be purchased
ready for ornamentation. The paper
around the monograms should be cut in
shields or diamond shape, fastened to the
wood with a little fish glue, and covered
with a coat of spar varnish. If the colors
are well chosen and the devices prettily ar-
ranged the result will be pleasing. Itita
kind of work that delights older children.
I know a girl who is very stylish and
she hasn’t money.
She says she would rather have a gown
made to wear one season according to the
latest ideas, wear it out and then have an-
other one, than to put all her money into
one gown 80 expensive that she feels it is a
crime to get a new one for three years.
She devised very well about the gown
she is now wearing. She had the skirt
made by a skirtmaker who is very reason-
able and makes nothing but the one gar-
ment. The material was dark nun’s veil-
ing. She had it laid in tucks and stitched
down with red silk thread.
She took the bodice to a more expensive
woman and had it made with the entire
corsage draped in folds. It was cut to a
point far down in front and low on the
sides, and had a narrow stitched belt of
red velvet crossed over in front and ending
in two points. The folds were draped very
full across the bust and the cream-colored
lace was laid over red chiffon, which was
over white sateen.
The sleeves were laid in tucks and
stitched with red silk thread, and a long
shaped cuff over the knuckles was of red
velvet. She used a dark blue silk petti-
coat that she wore under a foulard all last
summer and so saved the expense of a lin-
ing.
She wears with it a toque of red velvet
with a black chiffon pompon in front, and
with a knot of cream-colored lace wound
around one side and tied in a bow with a
scarf end at the back.
Velvet rolled to suggest a huge rose is a
popular style of trimming hats. One of
the latest imported models is of chinchilla,
and it is needless to say that the shape is
the lowest turban with the rolling brim.
The only trimming is a huge fold of blue
velvet veiled in chiffon. The fold is twist-
ed and twisted till the effect is produced
and the chiffon falls together in places, and
the shading is as fine as if the velvet itself
were shaded.
If you want to give your last year’s fur
or velvet coat that was made with a belt
and a blouse front the Frenchiest touch buy
wide black satin ribbon—quite sash width,
in fact, and have fringe on the edge or
pleated chiffon. Wind it twice around the
waist and bring it up to the armpit on the
left side, tying it there in a knot, letting
the ends fall quite to the knees. It gives an-
other look entirely to the jacket and costs
much less than to let a furrier go to slash-
ing and cutting into new shape.’”’
An accomplished woman of the world
should, above all things, possess the secret
of never allowing her sentiments to be
read in her face. Anger, gayety, all that
which is exaggerated can rage in her inner
being, but never be allowed to be per-
ceived. She should welcome her dearest
enemies with the same gracious smile
which serves for those of her preference ;
hear uttered before her the greatest un-
truths, allow enormities to be committed
without appearing astonished and indig-
pant ; at most a mocking curve of the lips
or the eyes a little wider open than usual.
She never wounds a friend, at most
scratches her so finely that it is not till a
long time after that the puncture appears.
Nothing clashes or shocks her, her timidity
does not render her awkward, her self-pos-
session is not bold. Every woman when
she wishes to be can be distinguished.
Nobleness is the art of nature, distinction
is that of art ; the one is born with us, the
other is acquired.
Nearly every gown has a narrow belt
made of stitched satin or taffeta drawn and
fastened invisibly in front in the effort to
secure the Parisian girdle effect, which
makes the back appear short and the line
over the bust to the waist unnaturally
long. It is these details in dress that now
distinguish the smart from the dowdy
woman.
Pillows are never used upon brass bed-
steads in the day time, the round bolster
being sufficiently ornamental. The pil-
lows are in force at night, however, and
will be doubtless a hundred years hence.
The round bolsters, so fashionable, have
needful made cases to suit. These are
somewhat hard to make unless one knows
exactly how. First cut the linen the
proper length and width, then work eye-
let holes a short distance from either end.
scallop the edges and buttonhole. Draw
ribbon through the eyelet holes, and there
you are.
A good skin food can be made of one
tablespoonful of pure olive oil, one of rose
water, beaten to a cream. Rub this into
the skin until entirely absorbed every
morning after washing in warm water and
castile soap. Then, every night, after the
same sort of washing, rub in a preparation
made thus : Melt together in a porcelain
kettle one-half ounce each of spermaceti,
refined white wax and (ounce each) sweet
almond oil, lanoline, cocoanut oil and
when melted add ten drops simple tincture
benzoin and one ounce orange flower water.
Beat with an egg-beater till cold. As to
the rubbing this in, that means massage ;
those who can’t hire a skilled masseuse
should at least go once to learn something
of the movements. In a general way the
movement is always upward and the fingers
should always be kept well annointed with
the skin food. Rub with a soft flannel af-
terward until the skin glows ; never per-
sist until the skin is irritated.
The dressiest shoe for semi-dress occa-
sions, calling, teas, etc., where a calfskin
shoe is not dressy enough, yet where an
evening slipper would also be out of place,
is the straight, foxed patent leather, with
kid top, buttoned, not laced, and with ex-
tension soles.
The properest skirt for shopping these
days is the so-called rainy day one, al-
though quite as much worn bright days,
too. They are noticeably numerous among
the large crowds of holiday buyers.
The most desirable jacket is the double-
breasted, tight-fitting, semi-box front,
or entire hox front, with velvet collar, dart
seams, open a trifle, with rounded corners
and sleeves put in absolutely plain.

Democrats Now Take the Lead.
Offer House Resolutions Giving Independence to the
Filipinos.—Are Opposed to Conquest.—Would In-
sist that the $20,000,000 be Refunded.—Want to
Know if Our Constitution Does Not Prohibit Slav-
ery and Polygamy in the Sulu Islands.
Two joint resolutions were introduced
into the House recently by Representative
Williams, of Miss., which are the result
of consultation among a number of Demo-
cratic leaders in the House, and are under-
stood to be expressive of their general posi-
tion on the Philippines. The first resolu-
tion follows :
‘“Whereas, The hope has been held out
that the Filipinos now waging war against
the forces of the United States in the
island of Luzon would lay down their
arms if authoritatively assured that it was
the intention of the government and people
of the United States ultimately to grant to
the people of that island their independence
and the absolute control of their domestic
affairs, and
‘‘Whereas, Such is the intention of the
government und of the American people
who do not believe in wars of conquest or
criminal aggression against other peoples
and have frequently declared their horrors
thereof. Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Senate and House of
Representatives in Congress assembled :
‘“That it has always been our intent and
purpose to recognize the inalienable right
of the Filipinos to self government and na-
tional independence, and that in pursuance
thereof, we shall make formal recognition
of these rights and withdraw our land and
sea forces upon our establishment of peace
and the inauguration of a constitutional
government, or governments, by the people
of the islands or any of them, provided the
said government agrees to refund the $20,-
000,000 which was paid by us to the queen
of Spain ; to give us in fee simple, with
right of sovereignty vested in us, a place
suitable for a naval station and other places
fitted for coaling stations, and to grant the
American people in perpetuity the right of
free access to all of their ports for goods,
merchandise and persons bent on peaceful
or missionary pursuits.
ASSISTANCE PLEDGED.
‘“We pledge our friendly assistance and
counsel in the work of inaugurating such a
government.
‘‘We pledge ourselves to treat as an un-
friendly manifestation toward the United
States any foreign interference or aggression
for the period of 10 years from and after the
establishment of such a government, pro-
vided, that the goverement and people of
said islands shall surrender into our keep-
ing, during that period, the entire question
of their foreign relations and shall pay the
expense to which, we may be put for such
troops as shall at the request of said
government, be kept on Philippine terri-
tory, and of such ships and naval forces as
may be kept in the Phliippines or adjacent
waters for the purpose of the protection
herein promised.”
The second resolution is as follows :
‘“Whereas the constitution of the United
States provides that neither slavery nor in-
voluntary servitude except as punishment
* * *
for crime * shall exist
within the United States or any place sub-
ject to their jurisdiction,’ and
Whereas, The island of Sulu, one of the
Philippine group, is, and has been for some
time, by virtue of the ratification of the
treaty of Paris between Spain and the
United States ‘within the United States or
subject to their jusisdiction,’ and
SLAVERY IN FORCE.
‘“Whereas, It is currently reported and
believed that slavery does actually exist in
said islands, and
‘Whereas, It is furthermore currently
reported and believed that it exists by the
connivance, or express agreement, of the
federal authorities ; therefore,
‘Be it resolved by the House of Repre-
sentatives that the President be, and he is
hereby requested, if in his opinion compat-
ible with the pablic interest to transmit to
the House such information as may be
available on that subject, including official
documents, agreements or conventions en-
tered into by and between the authorities,
civil or military of the United States and
the so-called Sultan of Sulu, his agents or
representatives.
‘‘Be it further resolved that the judiciary
committee of this House be and is hereby
instructed to investigate and report upon
the legal and constitutional aspects of our
governmental relations to the people of the
Philippine Islands, and especially to those
of them in the group hitherto or now ruled
by the so-called Sultan of Sulu, and to de-
termine and report to the House whether or
not in the opinion of said committe the
said islands are within the jurisdiction of
the United States, and if in the jurisdiction
of the United States, whether or not the
constitutional prohibition of slavery and
the statutory prohibition of polygamy do or
do not apply to them and their people,
and should or should not control federal of-
ficials in all their acts and conduct in con-
nection with the government thereof.”’
Horrible Affair.
Mother, Who Put Oil in Stove, Is Dead, Father and
Child Are Dying.
As a result of using kerosene oil to start
a fire, Mrs A. J. Clark, cf Walston, naar
DuBois is dead, being burned al-
most to a crisp, her husband and little
daughter are in the Adrian hospital, the
former at the point of death and the child
dangerously burned. In case they should
survive both will be scarred for life.
Mrs. Clark put some wood in the
kitchen stove, in which she supposed the
blaze had gone out, and poured oil on it.
The moment the oil struck the smoulder-
ing fire there was an explosion and the
burning fluid deluged the woman and her
daughter, who was at play in the room.
The screams of his wifeand child brought
Mr. Clark from another part of the house.
In his efforts to save his dear ones his cloth-
ing caught.
The neighbors, who quickly assembled,
finally succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, but by that time Mrs. Clark was
dead.
Mr. Clark and the child were removed to
the hospital.
The home of the ill-fated family was
completely destroyed.
PAID DEAR FOR HIS LEG.—B. D. Blan-
ton of Thockerville, Tex., in two years
paid over $300.00 to doctors to cure a run-
ning sore on his leg. Then they wanted
to cut it off, but he cured it with one box
of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. Guaranteed
cure for piles. 25cts. a box. Sold by F.
Potts Green druggist.
