FARM NOTES. —Many believe that eggs absorb odors after being laid by coming in contact with foreign substances. —Steamed clover hay is a good substi- tute for grass now that the latter product belongs to the bygones. —A tight roof, a dry floor and walls free trom cracks are very essential things in the make up of a poultry house. —Fally 50 per cent of the total income from New Hampshire farwos is now derived from the sale of dairy products. —The natural time for a hen to lay is trom February to October, but by scientific methods she can be made to lay the whole year round. —A warm mash in the morning is great- ly relished by the hens and is a good start: er for a long day’s work. Follow this meal with some small grain thrown in the litter to give them exercise. The artichoke, which is recommended as food for pigs, becomes a persistent weed wherever it is established, and considerable work will be required to get rid of it. Wherever potatoes can be grown they should be preferred to artichokes. —Look over the peas and beans for the weevil. Place the seeds in a close box having a top—such as a cigar box—and pour half a teaspoonful of bisulpbide of carbon over them, closing the box tightly. Allow it to remain closed for an hour, and the seed will be clear of weevil. —There is ro fixed ration for a herd or flock. Each animal is an individual, and has its own peculiar characteristics. Some will thrive and keep in good condition on straw, while others will make no gain on the best food they may begiven. Each an- imal should be fed according to its prefer- ences, and those that do not respond to good treatment should be discarded for those that are more profitable. —It is difficult to secure trees that are true to the variety, and mistakes occur in the best nuiseries. A reform shonld be made in this matter, as there is some cause not known for mistakes, most probably due to nurserymen assisting one another, or- ders being sent to other nurseries when they caanot be filled by the one receiving the order. This difficulty is not confined to any one section,but seems to be general. There are some nurserymen who are very careful,but there are others who themselves have been deceived, and unintentionally send out trees that are not true to name of variety. —A number of fruit and other trees are planted in the fall, up to the time that the soil freezes np, and at least for apple and pear trees it seems to be a safe practice. While it may be a question whether we have not already a sufficiency of commer- cial orzhards of such fruits, and whether contraction would not he more advisable at present than expansion in this field, yéb as we are continuing to build homes we must continue to plant home grounds with all manner of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs. I cannot imagine a complete home—a home that is all that the name implies—without trees and shrobs and vines and plants surrounding it. The plant ing for home use and adornment goes on, and often it is done in an abominable way. One of our nursery firms gives the following directions for setting trees, they kteing ap. plicable both to spring and fall planting : *‘Cut the ends of all broken or mutilated roots. The limbs should be out back about one-half. Open holes at least two feet in diameter and one foot deep even in poor soil. The sides of the holes should be per- pendicular and the bottom flat. Break up the soil in the bottom of the hole to the depth of the length of the spade-blade. Place two or three inches of fine top soil free from sods or other decomposing organ- ic matter in the bottom of the hole. - On top of this place the roots of the tree.spread them as evenly as possible over the bottom of the hole, and cover with two or three inches of fine top-soil as hefore. Tramp firmly with the feet and fill the hole with good earth, leaving the surface a little loose and a little higher than the surface of the surrounding soil. When the work of planting is completed, the tree should stand about two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery. —The advantage in using soft food for chickens is that the method permits of giv- ing a greater variety, - including linseed- meal, ground grain, etc. Experimente made for a year demonstrate that a flock of hens will coss less when fed on moistened food“than when given food that is entirely dry; also, that eggs can be produced with greater profit on moistened food than on dry. It'has'also been demonstrated that a flock of fowls that was allowed exercise give better results than a flock that was wholly confined. Two breeds were used— Leghorns and Cochins—and the Leghorns produced eggs at less cost tham did the larger breed, but considering the cost of raising and the ultimate market value of the hens, the profits are more favorable for the larger birds. The Leghorns ate about two aud one-fourth ounces of food (water- free) a day for each hen, and the Coching three and one-fousth ounces. The cost of the food for (the whole year varied from seventy-two cents to one dollar and the market value of the eggs varied from eighty four cents to one dollar and twenty-four cents. Of course, where the hens were con- fined the cost of production would natural- ly be more than if they were on a range, and the production of eggs would also be smaller; but the experiment is a valuable one. however, and adds more light on feed- ing poultry. Too much water may be forced upon the hens in the food. The wa- ter is not taken by the fowl voluntarily,but through necessity, in order to accept the food offered. Naturally, fowls drink but little water, and but a small quantity at a time unless deprived of it for quitea while. When the crop is packed with soft food, and digestion is slow, decomposition be- gins, it being hastened by the animal heat of the body. When the fowl consumes dry food. and muss seek it, the first portion is digested hefore the last enters the crop; hence, when it drinks there is but a portion of the food moistened that has heen eaten, and the crop -ie never fall. To give soft food when-it is necessary to do so ie correct bus such food should be given only in lim- ited quantities. Food should be given dry in the trough if possible, instead of forcing more water on the birds than they really need. ——All imposture weakens confidence and chills benevolence. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. To be honest, to be kind—to earn a little and spend a little less, to make upon the whole a family happier for his presence, to renounce when that shall be necessary and not be embittered, to keep afew friends but --these withont capitulation—above all on the same grim condition, to keep friends with himself—here is a task for all that a man bas of fortitude and delicacy.—Robert Louis Stevenson. The ‘‘overhang of blouses below the true waistline is sensibly diminished on spring toilets. Who knows if it will not vanish altogether by the time summer comes? Slim waists are promised for next June, so the commencement season will probably find a girl restored to her normal figure, with more hips, less shoulder measure- mens and a trim little waist once more. Truth to tell, we are all a little weary of the excessive droop of our winter bodices. Already the bulginess has departed and the fullness is kept well to the middle. *‘Overhang’’ or excessive pouching of a blouse below the waist, has been so exag- gerated and run into the ground that it has exhausted its popularity and must now be prepared to he supplanted. Long shoulder effects predominate in ev ery garment and from all signs promise to prevail for some time to come. The shoul- ders on the newest gowns slope more de- cidedly than ever, and every bit of trim- ming is purposely arranged to emphasize the peculiarly elongated effect. This bas utterly banished all yoke effects, bus it has revived to a certain extent the vest-front effect of long ago, now described as the waistcoat. In truth,this feature is in many instances indispensible, since it supplies a place in which to hang the sleeve, now crowded out of its normal position by the aggressive shoulder length. Hung into the waistcoat, the top of the sleeve disappears safely, and as a matter of course, beneath the overhanging shoulder, greatly to the comfort of the wearer. —At this season of the year, when vege- tables are not very abundant, it will not do to underrate the possibilities of cabbage. That the food value of the cabbage is low, and that it is not readily digested by deli- cate people is undoubtedly true, bnt a nicely prepared dish often serves a good purpose by merely stimulating the appetite and affording a change of diet. Boil a small cabbage, and the next day, when the lass trace of the odor has fled, chop it in small pieces. Salt and pepper, and add a tablespoonful - of melted butter. When this has heen stirred in put over the fire with half a capful of milk or cream. When hot stir in two well-beaten eggs, and im- mediately turn into a hot buttered frying pan. Stir witha fork until brown, and then heap like an omelet, and when the under surface is well browned serve on a hot dish, with minced parsley. Artists to the contrary. American wom- en declare that the Greek woman’s head was level when she combed her hair like a frame about her face and bound it about with a filet or wreath. The modern wom- an who is sofficiently young and pretty to stand that mode of decorating the hair is using a twisted rope of wide satin ribbon, knotted at intervals around her head. This arrangement, says the New York Evening Sun, enhances the grace of the head, but is not so universally becoming as the half wreaths, with the tapering ends, which are generally worn, or the more airy arrange- ment in half-wreath shape, or gauze drag- on-fly wings with an ornament in the cen- ter. A fad of the day is for flower effects where several small loops of narrow rib- hon are gathered on the tips of ribbon ends and fitted into a green rose cup, where the ends of the loops join each other. Trimmings and tuckings have grown hor- izontal instead of vertical on gowns. ‘The most fashionable skirt of the moment is made full around the waistline, and it be- gins to he trimmed at the knees with wide insertions of lace, sometimes edged with wide tucks. : The full skirt and the round bertha, to- gether with the decolletage drooping off the shoulders, are reminiscent of the early Vie- torian period. The shawl is to be revived, experte say, but just now it takes the form of graceful cape effects trimmed with fringe and these are seen even in fur, notably er- mine trimmed with black and white che- nille fringe or, better still, a fringe made of the tails. Many decorators and housewives prefer a_very pale tan paint for woodwork to the pure white colonial type, because it is so much softer. The colonial craze has ban- ished overcrowded effects. Sparsely-scat- tered furnishings are now preferred, and lapping rugs and crowded cushions are ta- Almost without exception, bodice garni- tures are made in.one and carried over the. tops of sleeves to give fashion’s desired broad, drooping shoulder effect. sn, Mora vivid colors seem to prevail than last year, and many of the greens, blues, cerises and browns are go closely allied to the crude as to need toning down to be altogether satisfactory. Appliques of cloth are extremely smart as trimming for spring costumes of chiffon velvet. Fancy buttons of silver, gold or rhinestone are used on the coats of these costumes. A narrow edge of gold or silver braid or a stiff edge of lace finishes the flounces so very fashionable for skirt garniture just now. Closefitting waists are becoming more and more fashionable. The tucks of skirts that last year only flared from the knee are this season fasten- ed a few inches helow the hip yoke and fall full from there. The short jacket rather than the long coat will be fashionable this spring, and both the tight-fitting Eton and bolero effects, as well as the three-quarter Norfolk jacket, will he worn. Violet in new shades, gray and brown, are the favor- ite colors so far for spring. The new skirts are all fall, and those who are tall and slim can indulge a fash- ionable prediction for short bands of shir- ring on the hips. These are not extended to the front and back breadths of the skirt. Where embonpoint suggests that shirring on the hips is not desirable. these spaces are trimmed with gronps of band sucks. Horizontal hand sucks are newer than the groups of vertical tucks on the hipe, and so are now used on skirts of sum- id gowns where shirring would be a mis- take. ——1It iz only the man who has never had appendicitis who thinks that it is only a fad. Will of Senator Hanna. Bequeaths $3,000,000 to His Family. Nothing to Charity. By the will of the late Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna, probated Tuesday of last week, an estate valued at about $3,000,000, is left to the family. There are no public bequests. The prin- cipal beneficiaries are the widow, Mrs. Charlotte Augusta Hanna; the son Daniel R. Hanna, the two daughters, Mabel Augusta Hanna Parsons and Mrs. Rath McCormick, wife of Medill McCormick, of Chicago. A sister, Lillian C. Hanna Baldwin, is given $10,000. An aunt, Mrs. Helen Con- verse, is given $1,000, and each of the grandchildren $5,000 each. The widow is given the homestead property all its far- nishings, the stables and the library in lien of one year’s support. Several years ago Senator Hanna took out considerable life insurance for the benefit of his three children. The will provides that these gifts are not to be tak- en into consideration in the settlement of the estate. The estate in the main is to be divided into three equal parts. The first third was left to Mrs. Hanna, to remain as ber own during her natural life, and at her death to be disposed of by trustees. . The remaining two-thirds is to then be divided into three equal parts and divided among the three children, share and share alike. But the shares are to be held in truss for the children by the trustees, who will conduct the affairs of each ana give to them the income from each pars. In the event of the death of two daugh- ters, and that they have no children, then one-fourth of their shares is to be given to their husbands and the remaining three- fourths to revert to Mrs. Hanna and her son Daniel. Under the terms of the will, it is ex- pected that the bulk of the business will fall upon the shoulders of Daniel R. Han- na, the son. Dan Hanna, Mrs. Hanna and L. C. Hanna are appointed trustees. Nothing is left to charity. Few Horses in Japan. Human Beasts of Burden in Evi- dence. are In his book, ‘‘Qaeer Things About Ja- pan,’’ Douglas Sladen says : *“The first thing that strikes one about a Japaoese street is the absence of horses. Of course, they have horses; but the usual Japanese horse is as unlike the usual horse as the shaggy mammoth of museums is to a properly groomed elephant. ‘“The beasts of burden in Japan are hu- man. I have seen a street-roller made of stone, drawn by about a hundred coolies. I have seen a man drawing a hay-cart,and, for the matter of that, carrying hay upon his back. They do not use wagons, but hand-carts, drawn by one ot two men. So uncommen is a horse that no one uses a horse without a man to run in front of it, who blows a child’s horn, and acts asa hu- man cow.catcher. Rates to St. Louis World’s Fair.

Electricity Among the Japanese. The Japanese understood electricity as an attractive force, of which they were very secret. The Greeks and Romane also knew something of the magnet as an at- tractive force known to modern science as an electrical attraction, something like the loadstone of the Chinese. They are sup- though in their secret records there are mentions of sacred forces which none but God knew and must not be tampered with by man.
