FARM NOTES.
—Banking the earth around fruit trees
will serve to protect the roots and also
cause the water to flow away from the
trees, thereby preventing pools from form-
ing around the trees. The ground being
kept dry, trees will endure the cold bes-
tex.
—Some men will use tke hoe so that the
top layer of soil is cut off clean and gather-
ed up with the weeds that may have been
the chief object of the hoeing. The surface
remaining will be hard aad smooth—quite
the reverse of what it should be. Cultiva-
tion should mean a stirring of the surface,
making it fine. If this be done in loamy
soil shortly after a rain it will not break
into large lamps.
—The ordinary concentrated lye is really
caustic soda, which is cheaper than potash.
Soda lye makes hard soap and potash lye
soft soap. Soapsuds from soft soap make a
valaable fertilizer, bus soda soapsuds is not
considered valuable except for celery and
asparagus, which are always benefited by
soda in any form. The use of any kind of
soapsuds is beneficial in assisting to liberate
plant food in the soil, however.
—The period of gestation in ewes is
about one hundred and fifty days, and the
ram should be turned in with them at the
proper time, to bring early lambs. A
Southdown ram, used with common, or
grade ewes, will produce mutton and lamb
of the finest quality. A ¢ross with the
Cotswold gives a much heavier carcass. The
ram should not run continuously with the
flock, but be kept by himself and be well
fed.
—To give harness a good finish first eat-
urate the leather with as much oil as it
will take, and then sponge the harness
with a thick lather made of castile soap.
When dry wipe gently with flannel and
follow in the same manner with a solution
of gum tragacanth, which is made by boil-
ing half an ounce of the gum in two quarts
of water, boiling down to three pints, stir-
ring freely while it is on the fire. When
cool apply it lightly on the leather.
—During the cold season plants are plac-
ed in the cellar to remain until spring. It is
not required for them to grow, hence at no
time should water be applied, except in
sufficient quantity to prevent the soil from
becoming dust dry. Keep the plants back
in growth as much as possible until the
time comes to place them outside, in the
early spring. The temperature of the cel-
lar must also be considered, as too much
warmth is not conducive to success with
plants stored away in winter.
——*‘Clubfoot’’ in cabbage results most-
ly when cabbages are raised on the same
land year after year. A change of location
is always desirable. The free use of wood
ashes, chopped in around each plant, isa
remedy, but it is not always effectual. The
potash of the ashes destroys the maggot
which does the damage, and an excellent
mode is to mix the ashes in water, make a
few holes with a stick around the plant
and pour the mixture in, which is a labori-
ous occupation, however, where there isa
large field devoted to the crop.
—The quality of hay depends largely
upon the stage of growth at which the
grass is cut. When the grass is in flower,
aud before the seed is formed, is the best
period for mowing. Nothing is gained by
waiting longer, and if past the seed-form-
ing stage the stalks will he hard and woody,
while if out too soon the grass will contain
too large a proportion of water. Good bay
is sometimes diffienlt to procure, much of
that coming to market being of inferior
quality because of being mowed too late,
and also because of improper curing.
—Fattening of swine and other animals,
should begin as soon as cooler weather
comes, as flesh is laid on much more readily
than in cold weather, when a large share
of the food is consumed in keeping up the
animal heat. Good food in variety, as
much as the animals will eat up clean, but
no more, with a good supply of fresh fod-
der corn as an appetizer, is the whole secret
of economival fattening. If any food is
left in the troughs unconsamed, shorten
the rations somewhat. Do not forget to
keep salt within reach of the animals.
—Bees swarm because they lack room in
the hive, The old queen and the workers
leave and give up the hive to the younger
bees. To .prevent swarming add more
space at the top, so that the workers can
be provided with storage room. It is bet-
ter to have one strong colony than two
weak ones, as the bees can more easily pro-
tect themselves against enemies when they
are numerous. At this season,if the weath-
er is mild, the bees may find plenty of bee
forage, but later on they are compelled to
travel to greater distances, and some of
them are thus destroyed, for which reason
the colony should be strong.
—An excellent and clean fertilizer for
house plantsis to get a pound each of
nitrate of soda, superphosphate of lime and
sulphate of potash. Do not mix them, but
use them as desired. A teaspoonful of each
in half a gallon of water will partially
serve to protect against insects and provide
plant food when used around the roots of
plants. If the leaves of the plants are very
green reduce the nitrate of soda one-half.
If the stems and shoots are slow in growth
slightly increase the potash. When seeds
and flowers are forming the proportion of
superphosphate may be increased.
—When calves are not thrifty the cause
may be in the management. Irregularity
in feeding, over-looking their peculiarities
and preferencesand crowding them are rea-
sons that cause lack of thrift. When sev-
eral calves are together, and their milk
poured into a common trough, the stronger
ones will secure more than their share and
the weaker calves less than a sufficiency.
Lack of water in very warm weather during
the middle of the day may cause harm, for
it is customary with some to water the cows
and calves only twice a day where the sup-
ply of water is at the barnonly. The rem-
edy is to feed each calf separately from the
others and give a variety of food.
—On all farms there are waste places
that onght to be brought into productive-
ness—parts of fields and patches where
weeds hold possession, ponds and seepage
bogs that need drainage, slopes subject to
loss by washing and erosion, barren spots
on knobs or ridges that need fertilizing,
brushy spots that should be grubbed or
subdued by sheep or goats—in short there
are scores of things to be done to put the
business of farming high-priced lands on a
paying basis. Economy is the thing need-
ed—not niggardliness, but the practice in
farming of economical methods that have
wrought great success in other lines of busi-
ness. Especially is there a great and grow-
ing need in these latter days of greater care
in conserving the fertility of the soil.
— Field and Farm.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Skirts are frowiog decidedly fuller. The
scant skirt defining the figure much too
closely has had its day and no woman of
taste regrets its downfall. Some of the
new French models are between six and
seven yards around the bottom, but this is
extreme and too ultra-fashionable to be
really smart. The most stylish skirts are
decidedly more conservative as to width.
Some of these new French skirts are made
over drop skirts that are stiffened at the
bottom with interlining, or boned with
feather-bone. If is claimed that by being
thus properly stiffened around the bottom
the skirt is kept away from the ankles, and
women who walk a great deal find it most
advantageous.
An Unfailing Remedy, for Roaches and
Bedbugs.—Into a half gallon jug pour a
quart of oil of turpentine, add 150 grains
of naphthalin, and set the jog in hot water
giving it several energetic shakes. Have
a quart of this mixture put up at the
drug store and you will find it excel-
lent for bedbugs. Apply with a small
paint brush with a long handle.
Shelter for baby’s eyes from the glaring
sun during his daily airing receives
thoughtful attention during the warm
weather. But during the cool days of au-
tumn, and when skies are overcast, one 18
inclined to fold the carriage parasol, or
leave it at home, or at best attach only a
thin white parasol to the baby carriage in-
stead of the thicker shelter used to protect
from the glare and the heat of the midsum-
mer sun.
Did you ever try lying on the couch or
on the grass out of doors in the autumn,
and gazing directly up into the sky ? Even
when the sky is overcast there is a glare of
light that is extremely painful to the eyes.
One quickly reaches for a newspaper or
other object to shelter the eyes from even
a cloudy sky, or changes one’s position to
avoid the glare. Every one who has the
care of a baby during his daily outing
should make the test, and then we will
probably notice that there are not so many
babies on the streets lying helpless in the
carriage, with parasol removed, and blink-
ing eyes gazing painfully up at the sky,
while they are receiving irremediable in-
jury during cool, cloudy antumn days.
For shopping in the morning you should
wear a neat coat and skirt, trim shirt waist
and a quiet hat or toque.
For paying ordinary calls a smart tailor-
made gown is the proper thing. With this
you can wear a big hat or toque.
For an afternoon reception the smartest
day gown, hat, etc., that you have.
For a wedding reception or a christening
party, the smartest frock and toque or hat
you can afford to buy.
For dinner at a fashionable restaurant. a
smarbé evening gown which must not be
decollete, but have a high cut bodice.
For the theatre, wear a dressy costume
or cloth suit with light silk waist.
For boxes or parquet or at the opera, full
evening dress with decolette bodice.
For a musical evening or an ordinary
evening party, a smart evening frock, not
too decolette.
For a ball the smartest evening gown you
can afford.
For table d’ hote, a smart evening gown
with a high or transparent yoke to the
bodice.
Morning dressshounld always be neat and
trim—fashionable, of course, and well cus.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that
any old thing will do to wear in the morn-
ings, or in the bosom of your family. Dress
for the afternoon should be a little more
elaborate, but here, of conrse, much de-
pends on what the afternoon’s occupation
is to be. If a call has to be paid, a pretty,
rather dressy gown and hat, and faultless
gloves should be donned; if it is one’s own
day for receiving callers a more elaborate
style of gown may be adopted. Iam re-
ferring now to dress in city and town life.
Not many girls are born beautiful, but
every girl living can make herself attrac-
tive. Unsightly teeth may be improved
by the dentist's art; a wide, irregular
mouth with thick lips, may be cultured
into such an expression of sweetness and
refinement that it will be really beautiful.
An ungraceful walk and figure may be en-
tirely made over by persevering in gym-
nastic exercises. A muddy, rough skin
can be made clear and satin smooth by
bathing, by frequent applications of a com-
plexion brush, a healthful skin lotion, and
bygienic observances like taking plenty of
fresh air and sunshine.
Loose three-quarter or long coats, in
white or light colors, will be worn for
evening or dress wear right through the
winter.
There is no wide departure from this sea-
son’s lines in the new sleeve models. For
the short walking costume the modidca-
tions consist of a shaping of the haggy puff
—which is slightly diminished—by means
of gores, and advancing its position toward
the elbow. More dressy costumes and
coats, however, show quite as much eccen-
tricity of form and elaboration as ever. In
fact, the interest and effort of the style
creators seem to centre on the variation and
elaboration of the wondrous cnffs with
which the fall models are furnished and
which seem to be of composite sartorial
architecture, so to speak, combining the
ouff ideas of all the different eras in the
history of dress.
A multiplicity of goresis a feature of the
fall skirts, the numberof which the latest
bulletin fixes at twenty, though the writer
has not yet seen more than seventeen. On
account of the great number of seams, the
difficulty of making and time required the
cost is greatly inoreased. It is, therefore,
more than probable that these multigored
models will be relegated to exclusive trade.
Pleats continue their vogue and kilts are
stitched to the knee, from whence they
flare. For the beginning of the season in-
terest is centered in the walking costume
with widely flaring skirt of instep-length,
buat it is pretty well settled that the vogue
of skirts of this length will be confined to
morning wear. Certain it is that the skirts
of high-class costumes of broadcloth and
fancy zibelines are made witha decided
demitrain.
The fashionable gown has the appearance
of being too large for its wearer, and a gen-
erally loose effect is produced by the shape
and the trimmings.

Turbans are and

Stoles of white ostrich feathers, or of
marabout and ostrich intermixed, are gen-
erally worn with dressy costumes. Furriers
are extremely husy with fur alterations,
and many of the large boas of white and
pointed fox are being opened out and made
nto flat stoles.

A Private Car Club.
It is called the Private Car club, and
it is the very latest association of men
of millions, says the New York Hergld.
It is exclusive, as its name impl 8,
and there is no other club like it in the
world. Included in its mgmbership are
men of wealth whose business is in
New York and who have summer
homes along the line of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad.
Each morning, attached to the Green-
ich (Conn.) express when it rolls into
the Grand Central station, are two
handsomely appointed private cars,
which do not discharge a passenger
until the crowd in the dozen or more
ordinary coaches is out of the way.
Then nimble porters spring out, and
following them come threescore of men
who are prominent figures in commer-
clal, professional or financial a 8 in
New York city, who alight and hurry
away to begin the business of the
One of the first to leave the car the
other day was William Rockefeller,
he was closely followed by Samuel
ruesdale, Lionel and Richard Suro,
William H. McCord, James McCuyt-
chéon, William H. Newman, C. T.
Wills, Colonel Henry H. Adams, Rob-
ert Baker, F. M. Freeman, J. L. Elliott,
W. T. Graham and other wealthy mén
who make their homes in the summer
season in the suburbs between New
York and Stamford, Conn.
There are always two of these club
cars attached to the train arri at
9 o'clock and one on an earlier train,
as there are perhaps thirty of
men of millions who believe in ting
to work early in the day and 8
through. For the convenience of thi
a car leaves a half hour earlier in the
afternoon.
These men are proud of the only pri-
vate car club and have adopted regula-
tions which make it difficult to become
a member. The membership, which is
limited, is already filled and there is a
long waiting list. 2
The genesis of the club™vas due to
the fact that at all seasons of the year,
and particularly in summer time, the
travel on the suburban roads is very
heavy, and it is not always possible to
obtain seats coming to New York in
the mornings after trains reach Green- !
wich, Conn. Similar conditions prevail |
in the afternoons.
There had heen many expressions of
dissatisfaction at this state of affairs

when one day, in the presence of sev-

ahd ob the exclusive use of the |

necessary arrangements were made.
At first it was intended that there
should be but one car, which would ac-
commodate about forty men, but two
more cars were necessary. for those de-
manding membership in the unique or-
ganization.
When these men of millions are on
board their private club car, either
coming to New York or going to their
homes, all thoughts of business are for-
gotten. They lounge about in their
comfortable chairs, smoking and jok-
ing. There is always a card game,
which is both interesting and exciting.
All the private cars are fitted alike
with every modern convenience and
comfort. Every member of the club is
compelled to buy his train ticket just
as other commuters are, and these tick- |
ets are taken up by the conductor.
With the exception of the conductor,
however, not a man save the porters
is permitted in the private cars unless
he be a member.
