ES FARM NOTES. —Farmers who receive circulars contain- ing offers of preservatives of milk and cream, or of methods for doubling the amount of butter from the milk, should consider such propositions very carefully. Batter is made from the cream only, and the proportion of butter obtained depends upon the amount of butter fat in the milk —+the fat being in the cream. It is im- possible to ges something for nothing, and any product devised by the use of special agents is simply not butter,but coagulated milk, the price of which in market will be less than that of pure milk. —To feed a variety of food does not re- quire the farmer to make a complete change from certain kinds to others, hut to avoid confining the stock to one or two kinds on- ly. Corn and hay are excellent foods and need not be discontinued, but cut roots, silage, cooked potatoes or turnips, or even a mess of scalded cut clover, will be readily accepted, while bran or ground oats may be given regularly. The rule should be to observe the animal, and when it refuses any particular food temps it to eat with some other kind. —It sweet corn is grown it will be a good plan to save a few of the earliest and best ears for seed. By careful selection every year the corn will be earlier each sucoeed- ing spring, and if quality, size and plump- ness of grain are also considered, great im- provement in the sweet corn can be made. —It is claimed that 2 per cent. of a horse’s weight of good nourishing food is all that he should be fed a day. By this rule a horse weighing 1500 pounds should receive 30 pounds of food, but it must be considered that something depends upon the amount of labor performed, as well as the digestive capacity and appetite of the animal. —No animal car remain at a stand-still without loss to its owner. If an animal is not gaining, then the food and labor are thrown away. If an animal loses only a pound in weight, then the farmer not only suffers a loss of that which he once had, but must incur additional expense to regain that one pound; but the time lost cannot be recovered, These facts show the im- portance of keeping the stock in good con- dition, and baving each animal make an increase daily. When there is a falling off in the yweight or the yield of milk is re. duced the cause should be sought, and it an error has occurred, or there is fault in the management, a change should be made for the better without delay. —No one who produces a superior article is compelled to search for a market if his products become known. The market al- ways seeks the best, and invites it, but in- ferior goods must search for a markes, and frequently 3uch effort is fruitless. Quality fixes the price, and even when the market is well supplied there is always more room for the best. —The garden plot for strawberries shonld be plowed or spaded this fall, left rough and well covered with fine manure. The frost will further pulverize the manure, and in the spring the ground should be spaded again and the rake used to get it in a fine condition, the plants being set out in April, if possible. With this treatment a plot of oue-eighth of an acre of ground in strawberries will produce sufficient for a regular supply for a large family. To mulch the soil is to cover it. This ia done by using straw, leaves, or any other snitable material, according to; circum- stances, in many cases stable manure being employed. Mulching prevents rapid evap- oration of moisture and protect young plants against the direct action of the sun in dry seasons. Bus, while benefits may accrue from the use of a mulch, there are also some disadvantages to be considered. The use of unfermented manure, or matter that is subject to decay, encourages mildew and fungus growth, as well as serving to protect insects and parasites. Yet there are some plants thas thrive best when af- forded a covering, and such protection should be given. One of the methods of mulching is to cover the entire plant, re- moving the covering early in the spring. The object of a mulch in winter, however, is not to keep out the cold from the plants, as no amount of covering can effect such object. What is desired is to prevent sud- den freezing and thawing of the soil, which upheaves the plants and causes injury. A mulch is considered highly beneficial when applied around the roots of the plants, al- lowing the plants to receive all the air and light possible, and can be used both winter and summer. It is too late to depend upon millet asa crop, bus if a piece of land infested with weeds is now sown to the ordinary Hun- garian grass or common millet the result will be that the millet will kill out all other plants. One of the advantages of millet when it is sown at this season is that it provides excellent green food or pasturage for all kinds of stock after grass becomes scarce. As it grows rapidly it keeps up am almost unlimited supply. One of the uses of late green food is that the animals are provided for at a sea- son when they have difficulties in securing a plentiful supply of grass, and the green food is valuable as much for its aid in pro- moting digestion and supplying a variety as in its value as a portion of the ration. It is a rule of farmers to depend upon the pasture as much as possible, but after a dry summer some pastures become exhaust- ed and are also injured by being too closely cropped. As the broadeasting of a field with Hungarian grass costs but little, and the growth is rapid, there is no crop that can be seeded down in August that will give better results as green food until fross. The mowing of the meadow for hay de- prives the soil of the elements of fertility, and the same occurs when the cattle are allowed to graze on it. Every pound of meat and milk sent to market carries in its composition the riche: of the meadow,and, though the process may be a slow one, yet a time is sure to come when the grass will be less nutritious and the growth less rapid. Then will the cattle use only that which is the most succulent and nourishing, leaving the more undesirable grasses to take pos- session, along with weeds, until finally the meadow must he plowed and seeded down. in order to change the variety of food pro- duced by it. It then fails to produce suf- ficient green food and it yields sparingly of hay. Good roads will be appreciated in the winter. At this season all may be well, but in winter, when the roads are muddy, the time lost in hauling but a few loads will be much greater in value than the sg of taxes necessary to make good roads. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. Remember this—that very little is needed to make a happy life.— Marcus Aurelius. Braid and buttons, buttons and braid these will be the keynote of the trimmings, used on tailor-made and street costume, for the coming antomn and winter seasons and the braids will match the goods. Some of these braids show threads of another color. Capucine or pasturtinm and brown are to be very smart. Indeed, all shades of yellow and burnt orange— coq de roche—will be in evidence. The wide straight braids in three-inch widths are being largely nsed on silks as well as clothes. Marble Cake.—Cream a cup of butter with two eups of powdered sugar, add five beaten eggs, a cup of milk and three cups of prepared flour. Keep out four table- spoonfuls of the batter. Color this with a half cake of vanilla chocolate wet with a little cold milk. Put into a cake tina third of the white cake batter; drop upon this several spoonfuls of the brown mixture, stirring this very slightly to givea ‘“‘wav- ing appearance. Put in more white batter, more brown, as before, and, when the tin is full, bake. The stock of fancy now always runs to the turnover effect verging onto that style of the flat linen collar. The most gen- erally worn now is a stock which has em- broidered eyelets in front through which a soft silk tie islaced, and tied. And fashion favorsred ties with costumes of white linen. Red polka-dotted veils have superseded those of green. And red silk stockings with white canvas low-outs are considered smart. Death to the lingerie hat is the knellnow. Floppy hats were done to death early in the summer. The popularity of the tiny checked taf- fetas and the black and white checked voile shows no sign of waning; most becoming dresses are made of these materials, with pipings of colored silk introduced on the corsage and skirt. The simple tailor-made coat and skirt is worn by many smart women, and made in coarse linen or canvas it is decidedly ohio. A charming idea noticeable in one or two pretty skirts, re- markable for their simplicity and their smartness, is in the manner of decoration. Broad bands or tucks of white taffetas arranged in graduating circular rows are appliqued ball-way up the fullness from the base of the skirt, while a high-draped taffeta waistband, finished in front with strass buttons and small bows of silk, complete the effect. Miss Alice Roosevelt was lunoching one day in town with her aunt, Mrs. Cowles. It was a rainy day, and Miss Roosevelt wore a blue serge costume, having an in- step length skirt of that style of plaiting for which no name seems as yet to have been found, the material being laid in accordion plaitsand pressed so firmly that after the cloth is pulled almost straight it shows the plaits and bangs in folds. The Eton coat was short enongh in the oentre back to show a little of the simple white, underblouse, and also swung out a bit. Two bands of blue braid went around it. Short, wide revers, made to either close or fold back, were lined with white. Over each shoulder extended a wide band, end- ing in tabs, and three dull silver buttons crossed the end of the tabs at both the front and the back. The sleeves were rather wide at the top, and grew wider to a little below the elbows, where they were cut in at the back, the upper part being open and extending five inches beyond the continning section of the sieeve, which latter was cut down narrow aud formed a cuff down to the wrists, the back seam of these onff section showing three or four of the metal buttons. Drooping from the out section of the sleeve were puffs formed of the full sleeves of the white underblonse. Three buttons were placed in a line from the elbow out to the edge outlining the slash in the coat sleeve. Her white nuull blouse had a wide, turned- down embroidered collar and a small, stiff bow of blue velvet, the how and ends of equal length and of the stiff style; in the cen- ter of the bow was a small buckle. Top- ping this costume was a rather flat hat of rough, dull blue straw trimmed with a wreath of bloets in different shades of purplish blue. It had a wide brim that rolled upa little at the left side. Her gloves were white. She wore tapering-toed tax Oxfords and plain tan hose. Two dresses worn with the fashionable poke bonnets were distinctly noteworthy, each as quaint as the bonnet that crowned the picture. One was of white mousseline, sprigged with mauve. It was made with a very full skirt, which was gathered into two broad lace insertions, the material be- ing cut away from beneath. There wasa lace yoke and lace undersleeves, and the most graceful old-fichu. The other dress was a mass of ruffles. 1f one did not count the yoke, which was a droop-shouldereds affair in cream Chantilly, worked with, mother-of pearl silks, the whole thing wa expressed in ruffles, though, to be exact there was a bis of a girdle of black taffeta, which showed hardly at all. Four of these deftly manipulated ruffles formed the low- er portion of the blouse bodice, and five of them served to balloon the sleeves, which fell over long lace undersleeves. Eleven ruffles were used from the girdle to the hem of the skirt. They were slightly graduated and each overlapped the one below it. The silk used for all this raf- fling was nacre taffeta, you know, the ex- Quisite mother-of-pearl shadings. It was as if a white silk had been placed behind a cobweb upon which the sun shone, the silk catching up the thousand and one irridescent reflections. Along the border of each ruffle was worked any number of tinyFrench knots in the pastel rainbow colorings. White mobair is much used this sum- mer for yachting suits and has many re- deeming features over other materials. It soils less easily and cleanses hetter, two very important items. The design of this one is particularly good ; the short skirt is laid in deep tucks over the hips, which are released to flare at the foot. A box plait over the shoulder extends to the elbow on sleeve, which is gathered toa deep turned cuff. Shield and vest of blouse are bordered with revers and stoles. White pearl huttons on vest aud three tucks on each side of revers are the only decoration. The high crowned hat undeniably found pronounced favor in France and the fad will doubtless reach ns later, although American women have not, so far, taken kindly to the innovation. Many of the new gloves are lined with contrasting color or have a frill of lace set on with shirred ribbons and falling over the glove tops. Special Ten Day Excursion.
