FARM NOTES.
—Green cut bone is the greatest egg pro-
ducer and stimulant known. Never use
moldly or sour bones, and feed moderate-
ly.
—Let the fall colt have ground oats as a
regular ration, and it will thrive better
than when it is compelled to depend entire-
ly upon its dam.
—Snow is not a substitute for water in
‘winter. Every animal requires water, and
it will save food and increase the product
from each animal if the water is warmed
-during the cold season.
—1In placing a house let it face the south
or as nearly so as possible, says New Eng-
land Homestead. It is cooler in summer
and warmer in winter than one facing eith-
er east or west. The sun in summer dur-
ing the hottest part of the day is nearly di-
rectly overhead and does not shine in so
strongly in a south window. In winter,
when low in the heavens, the south window
catches more of the sun’s rays.
—Wood ashes give excellent results on
sandy soils, due to the lime and potash in
the ashes. For fruit trees wood ashes have
been found excellent, and they also benefit
clover and grass. On heavy soils much of
the value of ashes is due to the lime, and
where potash is required no better fertilizer
can he found than ashes. Coal ashes con-
tain little or no plant food, and for agri-
cultural purposes would not pay for the
hauling. On sandy soils the coal ashes
sometimes serve to make the land a little
heavier.
—Fowls that are expected to lay in win-
ter require exercise. Feeding should not
be too often. When a millet seed is scat-
tered in litter, or over a wide surface, the
hens will be kept busy seeking them. In
the spring the hens will begin laying as
soon as the weather becomes mild. This
shows that warmth controls egg production
to a certain extent. It isin the spring that
the hens can seek a variety of food, as
worms, seeds and grass can then be obtain-
ed. The breed of fowls is not so important
as the management in winter, for the tend-
ency of birds is not to lay during the cold
weather, but in spring and summer.
—Crushing corn seems to be satisfactory
for calves, colts and all young cattle dur-
ing the average season, particularly if they
are being fed to the limit, says American
Agriculturist. It is also desirable at any
season for dairy cows. Corn and cob meal
seem to be more satisfactory than cornmeal
because of the fact that the cob, while it
has no nutritive value, has a favorable ef-
fect on the animal’s stomach. For steers
two years old and particularly for healthy
hogs it is doubtful whether any prepara-
tion of grain feed is necessary other than
possibly the shelling of the corn near the
end of the fattening period.
—The farmer who begins the new year
with the intention of reducing expenses
will find many opportunities for so doing,
and will also be surprised at the end of the
year at the many avenues for allowing loss.
One cause of Joss is the neglect of the farm
wagons and implements. An account kept
of the cost of repairs will show that quite
a large sum goes in that direction, much of
which could be saved. The use of more
oil on tools, and keeping them sharp and in
the best condition for use, will save labor,
which is an item that must be paid for. Too
many unprofitable animals, however, cause
more loss that anything else, and the farm-
er should begin the new year with suffi
cient courage to thin out the flocks and
herds so as to retain only the best and most
profitable.
—Now is the time of year when the far-
mer and stockman, in order to avoid seri-
ous losses among his stock, should see that
his stables are warm and comfortable
against the cold blizzards of the approach-
ing winter, says an Indiana correspondent
of Prairie Farmer. Every year the knell
of warning is sounded through the agricul-
tural journals, Yet in spite of this there
are still many farmers who are careless and
negligent in this respect. In traveling
over the country one will see stables with
the doors off of the hinges, boards knocked
off the siding bebind the horses, allowing
the rain and snow to blow in on them.
Hogs are often seen lying on the frozen
ground for want of protecting shelter
squealing day and night from cold. The
feed is another example of the farmer’s neg-
ligence. The fodder is left scattered all
over the field and in a bleached and wash-
ed out condition is thrown ahout the barn-
yard for the stock to pick up. Long be-
fore spring these farmers, who were sure of
an abundance of feed,are asking themselves
what has become of it, and in: spite of all
their feeding their stock is poor and rough.
—Commission merchants publish direc-
tions for shipping eggs every year. Where
farmers combine to ship eggs they should
use long, stiff barrels. Put two or three
inches of long stalk hay or straw evenly
over the bottom of the barrel, then finely
cut straw or wheat chaff (never use oats
chaff or buckwheat chaff) to a depth of two
or three inches, then a layer of eggs laid
upon the sides, evenly embedded in the
packing, with the ends toward the barrel,
but fully one inch from the staves. Cover
this layer of eggs with packing to the depth
of one inch, and rub well in between the
eggs with the hand. Place about three
inches of the packing material over the last
Jayer, and then about the same quantity of
long straw or bay, as at the bottom. Fill
so that the bead must be pressed down
with a lever or by other mechanical power.
This method of packing will hold the con-
tents so firmly that they cannot shift in the
barrel. Io winter guard against frost by
using more packing material, leaving the
eggs further removed from the ends.
ever pack in new oats, straw or chaff;
these will sweat and rot the eggs in a very
short time. Dry oats make good packing
material, but are too expensive. Do not
crowd too many eggs in one packing. For
an ordinary flour barrel from 65 to 70 doz-
en are quite sufficient. Put about four and
one-half dozen to the layer up to six and
one-iialf dozen in the two layers then de-
crease again at the same rate. Count care-
fally and mark the number on the head of
the barrel. In warm weather forward the
packages by express. When only a small
quantity of eggs is sent, and at short
distances, they may be packed in mill
hoard partitions, an egg in each square cell
36 in a layer,the whole contained in a han-
dy-sized packing case, or with careful
packing in straw or chaff. Baskels may be
used when there is a sufficient quantity to
fill them, hut a barrel makes the best pack-
age.— Farm and Fireside.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
One has almost to sit up nights nowa-
days to keep one’s sleeves in style. The
latest idea is a sleeve broad at the wrist
and slashed on the outside to show either
a frill of lace or a puff of some material.
White felt hats are fashionable, especial-
ly so when trimmed with emerald-green
birds or velvet or their combination. Em-
erald-green felt toques with a bunch of vio-
lets as the sole trimming represent an ap-
proved millinery novelty.
Some dress-suit cases which catch the eye
of the damsels who find them convenient
are covered with coarse linen instead of
with leather. The handles are strong,
and, as this piece of baggage is usually car-
ried in the hand instead of being thumped
down in baggage wagons, linen does well,
and is not nearly so heavy to lug about.
Those with seusitive skins that burn and
smart with very slight exposure to cold or
wind should use a simple lotion of henzoin
after washing, morning and evening. It
may be dabbed over the face with a small
toilet sponge. Then, after drying theskin
with a soft towel, dust it with violet face
powder.
In dressing the hair for an evening,
whether it be spent at home or abroad, be
sure that youn pin your pompon or aigrette
very well forward. Even if you arrange
your coiffure low at the back of the neck.
The bow-knot does well in the street, and
is gaining slowly indoors, but most of us
comb the hair up on the head. The *‘for-
ward wave’’ is so becoming to a youthfal
profile, and it sets off a profusion of natu-
ral tresses.
Don’t be in haste about selecting mate-
rial for your summer shirt waists, as a note
of warning has been sounded concerning
the decline and fall of the stiff shirt waist
in the fashionable world. It is said that
wash silk, pongee and the finest of cham-
bray and batiste blouses will replace them
and there will be soft stocks and unstiffen-
ed cuffs, with little turn-overs in lace, lin-
en and embroidery for neck and wrists, to
wear with them. If these hints are verifi-
ed by the early spring models and the
shirt-waist girl with her spotless and per-
fectly laundered shirt waist becomes a hap-
py memory, one of the most attractive ar-
ticles in the feminine wardrobe will have
been consigned to oblivion and every wom-
an will hear it with regret.
Weathered oak furniture, now the latest
fashion, requires little upholstery. While
it is severely plain it is also very comfort-
able. Ioxskin cushions in a fine dull
green or brown for the seats and backs of
chairs and tops of tables are most fashion-
able.
The peacock colorings in combination—
not the impossibie crude peacock shades in
vogue fifteen years ago, but the real blue
and real green of the peacock feather, re-
lieved by a touch of yellow, is the latest
color scheme of the smartest house decora-
tive fabrics.
To-day if we are well dressed we have a
collar made on our blouse. It is the same
fabric as the blouse or it is a continuation
of the vest.
The pinning on of a pale blue or pink
fancy satin collar to a white, blue or black
blouse is now leit to those who give no
heed to detai's of dress. The simplest wool-
en suit for oflice or shopping is now made
with a collar attached to it. . And this col-
lar must match.
Color may be put on it if wished in the
way of stitched bauds or velvet ribbon.
This is done in a number of cases. But
the collar must show at once to be prinmma-
rily a part of the gown.
It has been quite a year since various col-
ored ribbons were worn with blouses unless
the two colors matched. Probably ‘“‘worn’’
is not a good word to use in making an as-
sertion of this sort. Everything is worn if
we just look far enough and long enough.
What is meant by this statement is that
these things are not considered in good
taste by women who dress according to the
dictates of fashion.
This employment of the same collar as
the blouse is so general that one is not
speaking of any extreme fashion in advoca-
ting it. All of this work of dressing 1s
along one line. That is to keep an unbrok-
en line from the head to the heels. It isa
rood principle,and I believe will be slowly
worked to an excellent finish.
Whatever your blouse is have a collar of
the same put on. If you have a chemisette
or vest, the collar must be of the cloth. If
you want color put it on the outside. If
you have old blouses that have no collars
and that you still must wear, match them
exactly with ribbon or velvet.
Pin a turn-over collar at the top and
wear the ribbon once or twice around the |
neck.’
The flat bow in front is not as good as
the four-in-hand with ends to the belt.
These ends must be pinned to the blouse just
ahove thie waist with a fancy stickpin. The
effect is not good when they fly to the
breeze. Ribbon tied in a bow in the back
is not the correct thing, but the scarf and
rosette of Malines net and tulle is the
touch seen everywhere.
Save yourself the worry of what to wear
around the neck, if you are making any-
thing new, by making a collar on your
blouse that is a part of your gown.
There is nothing more troublesome than
to have blouses you must wear and that
must be matched every morning with some
kind of a neck gear.
Get your variety from your turn-over
collars'and your brooches.
Beautiful covers are made for the library
or sitting-room table of the Belgian linens
now so much in favor. These, too, are fin-
ished with the heavy laces so much in
vogue. The embroidery for these covers is
much more intricate than that described a-
bove, and in many cases the Flemish or
the Belgian patterns are used. These re-
quire many colors and are very effective
when well done. These, too, are finished
at the ends with the heavy laces. Twenty-
seven-inch centre pieces for a set table are
finished with a border of the lace,instead of
the scallops that were in vogue for so inany
years. This is far more durable than the
old-fashioned finish. Exquisitely embroid-
ered letters may now be had at very reason-
able prices that are suitable for marking ta-
ble and bed linens, as well as lingerie.
These letters will be a great help to the ar-
tistic housewife who is not an adept at em-
broidery.
Most beautiful are the new bureau cov-
ers, and they are made in such a manner
that one need not fear to send them to the
average laundress for their weekly launder-
ng.
Profitable Weddings.
What is known as the “pay wedding”
is popular in Germany. The bride re-
ceives the guests with a basin set before
her, and into this each visitor entering
the reception room drops either some jew-
elry, a silver spoon or a piece of money.
In some parts of the country the expenses
of the marriage feast are met by each
guest paying for what he or she may eat
and drink. Some visitors pay high prices,
and the happy couple make a handsome
profit out of their wedding, as many as
300 guests often being present at such a
festivity.
