This makes what is known as a saturated brine, which al- ways means all the salt that the water will absorb. In salting butter the brine is sel- dom made stronger than 30 or 34 per cent. of sals. —The way to have a good market is to be ready to sell when prices are good. An- other way is to always have the very best of its kind when you have anything to sell. If stock is kept at its best all the timea rise in the market may be taken advantage of and a high price realized. — When planting a young tree leave very little wood. Cut back as much as possi- ble. By so doing the roots will be better able to provide nourishment in the begin- ning. Many young trees die because there are not enough roots to feed the surplus wood that was allowed to remain on the young tree when it was planted. —The currant is a hardy plant and does well on pearly all kinds of soils. The greater growth of the currant is made duor- ing the first two months of summer, and it should be cultivated early. It is not la- borious to plant them, as a furrow may be made with a plow and the young bushes planted in the row, instead of digging holes for each, as is frequently done. —Rotation of crops is necessary for suo- cess in farming, as two or three crops of the same kind cannot be profitably grown on a plot. This may be noticed every day, as hedge plants cannot be renewed by a hedge of the same kind and trees planted in place of others of the same kind do not thrive. The hest results are obtained when there is a radical change of crops. —Daring the spring high winds fre- quently prevail, and it is then a risk to keep trees or plants above ground; that is, t0 expose their roots, as thev quickly dry if the wind reaches them. Keep the roots wes and ander shelter, or put the trees or plants in the ground as soon as it can be done. An hour's exposare may cause fail- ure of a young tree. —No person cau engage in the artificial hatching of chicks for early broilers nnless he keeps sufficient hens to provide eggs for that purpose. One of the greatest difficul- ties encoontered with broiler establish- ments is that of procuring eggs which will hatch. Laying in the winter season is un- natural with hens, and to collect eggs from all sources is to incur the risk of lack of fertility of the eggs. —-Food is best when it contains a variety of constituents. Phosphates supply the growth and waste of the bones; organic matter rich in gluten, albumen, legumen, etc., are the flesh-formers, and matter con- - taining sugar, starch or oil supply the carbon or fas. The food to be perfect must contain all the elements necessary for the objects sought. —Lice on cattle indicate lack of atten- tion and poor feed. Grease of any kind will destroy lice on cattle,but grease should not be used if it can be avoided. First wash the animal with kerosene emulsion and follow with clear water. When the skin is dry dust every portion of the body with a mixtare of a peck of carbolate of lime and a bushel of clean dry dirs. Ifa single animal is infested with lice the oth- ers will soon be in the same condition un- less remedies are used as preventives. —No garden will give satisfaction if it is cold and wet. The advantage of a few ditches or tiles under ground cannot be estimated. The earliest vegetables are pro- duced on warm, dry, mellow soils, and this state cannot be attained until! she garden is made so by drainage. Sandy soils drain themselves sufficiently, unless underlaid with clay, when they, t00, must be drained inorder to allow the surplus moisture to pass off. : —By contact with rocks and stones the hoofs of sheep are naturally pruned. When sheep are kept on low, wet ground the hoofs grow long, and, being not very sensi- tive, are easily softened until they begin to rot. There can be no doubt that this is caused by some germ, for anointing the hoof with blue vitriol, which is one of the best germ killers, will destroy it. The germ seems to be indigenous to all wet lands where sheep are kep$, and it is one of the most serious infections with which sheep can he afflicted. When it once gets into a flock it can he carried to lands which are high and dry and will propagate there. —The teaching of agriculture in the country schools is receiving attention. It is believed that if the children of" farmers are taught regarding some things done on farms, and especially where mistakes are made, they will bave a desire to learn and take more interest in literature relating to farming. The study of agriculture in the school will not greatly interfere with the other courses, and can be made more inter- esting if lectures are given and praciical demonstrations made in botany, also show- ing the textures of soils and the growing of crops, etc. It is possible that some method of instruction may he devised that will in- duce the young men to take more interest in farming. The amount of green that can be grown upon an acre of land and fed to castle, from the first appearance of rye or crimson clover in early spring until late in the fall,is many times more than that which can be obtain- ed on the same area used as a pasture, while on the pasture the cattle are subjected to storms, many inseote and during the dry seasons they must perform considerable work to secure as much food as they desire. As green crops may be cut at any time, and several cuttings can be made in a sea- son, the flow of milk will be greater than when the cows are on pasture. Although less labor is required in pasturing the cows, a smaller proportion of land can be nsed under the soiling or green focd system. — While it is essential that trees be kept in strong, healthy, vigorous growth, more damage has been done by forcing them than in any other manner. . Exposing the surface soil to the heat of the sun’s rays in summer is sometimes detrimental, and hence the value of a grass crop in a pear orchard, which shades the trees; but such orops must be supplied with plant food so prevent robbery of the orchard. A cheap and excellent fertilizer is made by compos- ing marl, lime and old sod, allowing the mass to reach a fine condition before apply- ing to the orchard, while stable manure; though combining nearly all the elements of plant food, should never be used until thoroughly decomposed, the fresh material being too heating, as well as containing bacterial life detrimental to'success. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. A DAILY THOUGHT. The person whose clothes are extremely fine I am too apt to consider as not being possessed of any superiority of fortune, but resembling those Indians who are found to wear all the gold they have in the world in a bob at the nose. In the Matter of Linings.—Make a note that the question of color, which is of such serious importance this season, has to be gone into even so far as regards linings, and many novel effects are obtained in consequence, even when the old-time ma- terials are used. The very thin transpar- ent veilings, dark blue, dark brown or red, are made up over linings of the same color and are certainly smart and attractive, bus if white or some contrasting color is ased instead an entirely different appearance is the result. Dark blue over a pale blue, red over pink, green over the paless lilac, or brown over green, all are effective and considered smart, while most popular of all is the blue over pale violes. As can readily be understood, only the most transparent of materials look weil over the contrasting linings. When the fabric is in any way olosely woven the con- trast in color is not sharp enough and an ugly, thick effect is given that is always unbecoming. With the fashionable skirts it is neces- sary to pay great attention to the lining or drop skirt, otherwise the gown lacks the smart appearance now demanded. The soft surahs and satins are preferred for linings by some dressmakers. Crinoline Sure to Come.—The crinoline war is still merrily going on in London and Paris. The news of the formation in England of the Anti-Crinoline League is received with indulgent smiles by the great French costumers, says the Paris correspondent of the London Express. y ‘Within 12 months nearly all the pretty .women who may now be joining the ‘Anti- Crinoline League’ will be wearing it,” predicted the manager of one of the leading dressmaking firms in the Rue de la Paix. ‘‘There is not the slightest intention of going back to the huge crinoline of Na- poleonic days,’’ he said, ‘‘but the form of the skirt, as it has been shaping itself dar- ing the last two or three years, makes the coming in of a modernized , crinoline a fore- gone conclusion. ’’ To Make Pretty Cartains.—The woman who is an excellent darner has come again to the fore in the return to favor of the old-fashioned work for curtains and table linens and bed coverings, and this will be a fad to utilize the time usually spent in embroidery during the summer. A foundation of fillet net is used, vary- ing in heaviness according to the purpose for which if is to be used, and the darning run back and forth until ‘the pattern is made. For a bedspread or curtain a heavy open- mesh net is selected. Heavy mercerized cotton must in this case be used in the darning, running the thread back and forth over and under the mesh just as in regular darning, coming back to pick the threads skipped in going the other way. A dull-pointed needle must be used to prevent the net becoming split. The edge of the cover or curtain is turned up and two rows of the darning stitch run round instead of regularly trimming it. Sqares or other patterns made of the material and worked are then inserted in the article just as lace motifs are inserted in blouses. The motifs have the edges overcast instead of being hemmed or scal- loped before being inserted. Elaborate conventional or flower designs may be pat as a border round curtains with charming effect and with the same design carried ous on the bed, and a most attractive bedroom set is the resuls. Russet Footwear. —Boots and shoes will play a leading part this season with the short skirts which are so much in vogue. Tan and russes seem to remain the popular shoe for street wear. In China we are told that to wear a tan or russet shoe is against the law, yellow being the royal color, but fortunately this does not interfere with the other nations, who can revel in the at- tractive russet models that are being shown to us this season. Elbow Sleeves Revive Lace Mitts.— The all prevailing elbow sleeve gives op- portunity for most delightful arm dress- ings and the summer girl will not be slow to take advantage of it. Those quaint mitts that grandmother wore are all the height of fashion again; bus in their most recent resurrection they have taken to themselves a length and elahoration which did not characterize them formerly. Gloves, too, are. quite as attractive, the favored styles being either the sheer gauze silk which is so fine that it is really trans- parent as chiffon, or else the openwork mesh, this in varying degrees of size and fineness. The plain one is really the exception rather than the rale. In its best appear- ance it is embroidered by band, and a smart mode employs the favorite flower of the wearer for the decoration of the long: ove. Bracelet effects in both open work and embroidery are among the accepted con- ceits; and medallions of varions kinds are appliqued where they will show off to best advantage. Where these are used the silk is cut away beneath, and a backing of chiffon provided; and = sometimes this chiffon is tinted rather than white, to match the color scheme of any costume. There is but one fault to find with those charming arm dressings, says the New York Telegram, and that isthat the silk gauze of which so many are fashioned is likely tooling too closely to a slender arm, and make its lines more apparent. When this is the case, the best choice is some of the meshed mitts, those that fol- low the tatting paterns. These are really flattering to the slender arm;and even the too plump arm will find them just as fetching, since they may be either left loose or drawn up as snugly as desired. Those tatted affairs follow all of the old- fashioned designs, and the fanoy work shops are importing books which contain direc- tions for their fashioning. Many of the patterns have been handed down from one generation to the other, and the directions for producing these are set forth with clearness and precision. For wear with shirt waist suits, linen tub frocks and such, there are closely meshed gloves in rather a coarse white silk which will wash to perfection. These have the usnal glove embroidery on the backs; and though self-color is the more usual there are some very smart effects in contrast. Thus white is embroidered in coral, pale green, lavender or brown, as well as black; while the colored ones—in gray, several shades in mastique and tan, some lavenders and browns—are almost invariably embroidered in a tone or two darker than the mesh. . : Wrist embroideries are quite a feature on the shorter gloves, and flower designs ' are far away the favorites.
