The cost of pork is less if the animal is sold when it does not exceed 200 pounds, as any excess of that weight will cost more in produe- tion’ than when the pig is growing, the heaviest increase ‘in weight being with . young animals. —.-Shrubbery costs but little and adds value to a place, hut unless properly ar- ranged it will be of no advantage. There should be no vacant places as long as a shrab or a flower can be grown. The lawn should not be crowded with evergreens or flowers, but where a few are used on the lawn, and put in the right places, they add to the beauty thereof. —To make a good, firm walk way in the garden or through the lawn, and which will be smooth and dry, at all seasons, mix Portland cement, one part, and ashes, two parts. Make into mortar, spread over the path and smooth down with a trowel. The bed for mortar should be first well beaten down, and if convenient a layer of gravel should be spread over it, with the mortar added next. ——There are faults in feeding that shonld be avoided. The farmer who overfeeds his animals, by allowing food to remain with- ip their reach at all times, is not economical in his methods. Animals that are per- mitted to feed on hay or grain at will are subj:ct to indigestion, and also evince no disposition to exercise. Plenty of food should be allowed, but only at regular hours, and in quantities suited to the re- quirements of each individual. —Potato growers should not retain seed from their crops, as'a change of seed, even of the same variety, will be an advantage. At the Jowa Experiment Station seed ob- tained from a Canadian fair was planted by the side of seed that had been selected from that grown on the Station ground. After seven years’ cultivation the Canadian seed produced 754 bushels and the home- grown seed 109 bushels of tubers per acre. —Qucasionally the grass under some trees will be green while under others it is near- ly dead, or yellow, showing sparse growth. The difference may be due to the plowing. If an orchard is deeply plowed its feeding roots will be below the grass, but, if barely stirred, then the tree roots come to the sor- face and take both food and moisture from the grass. Such is the theory, but, wheth- er tine or not. the grass under trees is best where the land has been plowed deep. -—Blue grass seems to thrive on rich, rolling lands where other kinds are more difficult to secure. It holds on for a loog time, during dry seasons maintains itself “fairly well, and grows rapidly also in cool, damp weather. It is less injured hy tramp- ing than many other grasses, and on lime- stone soils it will crowd out all other kinds and remain for years. Blue grass seed is nearly always added to that selected for pastures, as it assists in making a heavy sward and the grass is highly relished by stock. —Those who ship fruit to market may not be familiar with the methods of hand- ling fruit by the carriers and merchants. Fruit started from the farm may be ap- parently well and properly packed, and yet not arrive in the market in good condition. The packing of fruit for market requires judgment and experience. There is some- thiny to learn, and every grower should give attention. One of the most important points is to bave the fruit oniform, and of the same quality at the bottom of the basket or box as at the top, buyers always making close examination. . -~ —Grass is always an important crop, and also an evidence of good farming, as no soil will prodoce a large orop of grass every year unless the land is well manured or treated with fertilizers. Grass is a foundation for all other crops, as it not only peoduces pasturage and hay, but fur- nishes sod for the assistance of the crops that follow. When the land is in grass it is really mulched and humus accumulates. The shading of the soil by the grass is beneficial, and the roots go down deep into the subscil for plant food, which is brought $0 the surface, deposited in the plants, and ths rendered available for another season. ~ —When seeding to crimson clover this * year do not delay until late in the fall. One reason why crimson clover fails with some is that they sow the seed too late to allow the plants to make headway before winter. On sandy soils the frost does no injury, but on heavy land the plants are sometimes thrown up. The land for orim- son clover should also be well prepared, and no one should expect a good catch crop when the seed is sown on laud that has re- ceived no preparation. Lime always benefits crimson clover, heing broadcasted and bar- rowed in when seeding, using about 10 bushels of lime per acre. i { —The greater the number of varieties of grass in a pasture the better. as the live stock will make selection of the preferred kinds. Lime broadcasted in the fall will nearly always hencfit a pasture, and wood ashes are also excellent. One point to oli- serve in renewing a pasture is to keep the animals off until the gras<es ‘can make headwax. This may cause some ingon- venience to those who keep the animals continually on the pasture, but the resule will be more grass and a better’ pasture. Spreading farmyard manure on the pasture late 11 the fall should be done with the nse of fine. manure only, as straw or other coarse material will not readily decompose. ¢ —The custom of breaking down the leaves and seed stems of onions js, ta pre- vent the exhaustion of the bnlb by the formation of the seed. Some growers do _ this as oon ‘as the Jeaves are tull grown by twisting and bending them down, ‘as the bulb is vot the root but the enlarged stem of the plans.. This concentiates. the forge of the plans into the bulb or stem, and eo produces a vigorous growth. The practice may he a question of effect, so far as this view is concerned, bat would certainly be useful in case a seed stalk was forming, as the production of seed would ‘weaken the ‘bald. The breaking down ‘is done when ‘the bulb is well formed and the leaves fully grown. Srl la ia dail aN RDB S Hie -mail-box, *I am always particular about my hus- band’s soeial obligations,’’ said a woman who has been voted a society success by her acquaintances to a writer for the De- signer Magazine, ‘and I think with a lit- tle tact a * oman can manage such mat- ters beanti nlly. Most men hate to go out in the evening to make calls—slippers and books and the fireside have too many at- tractions—so when I have by some di- plomacy dragged my husband to a party Iam pretty sure he will refuse to makea party call, so I manage by taking his card when I call and leaving it with mine or prefixing the title Mr. before my name on my card. . “There is no doubt in my mind,’ con- tinued this same woman, ‘‘that much of social success ‘lies in fulfilling one’s ob- ligations in the way of calls, and being particular as to what etiquette demands in the number of cards to be lefs. Even the size and style of engraving are to be considered. Now, for instance, you want your daughter’s card engraved. How shall it be done? If she is young she should have her name directly beneath her mother’s on the same card. After she comes out she is entitled to an indepen: dent card. Of course your husband bas his social card separate from his business card, and his name is engraved on that in fall. It takes these trifles, light as air, | to show a person’s culture, but like clean linen, they identify one at once. “The use of a business card in oalling, either by man or woman, isa solecism hard to forgive, even if it i= accompanied by an apology. Time and again women bave called upon me and left professional cards. For instance, ‘Mary L. Batter- worth, M. D., 11 Portland avenue. Office hours from{?2 to 6 p. m.,’ may be all right for business purposes, bus that woman has no right to leave such a card when call- ing on a friend. “If you were to ask me the most diffi- cult thing to remember I should say it was to get up and leave at the proper time when conversation is interesting. This is the very time to leave, if one can accom - plish it gracefully, for it suggests a desire on the hostess’ part to continue the con- versation at some time not long distant, and the feeling that you are an interesting caller. Of course, nowadays, cards are left either on the salver in the hall or on the side table in the reception room—one for each lady in the house. This enables them to keep track of the calls they owe, and in a city with constant changes in abodes to know the number aud street of her caller; for Mrs. John Amos Brown may live in the East End one year and in | an entirely different part of the town next, if ber husband does not own his home. “Do I look upon the matter of calls and cards as a social salvation? Pretty nearly so. I have known people to attempt call- ing without a card, but this is poor policy, for at least a card speaks for itself, and a verbal message is often forgotten. It is especially troe when calling on some one living in apartments. The caller cannot scream her name up the speaking-tube to perhaps the fourth floor if the bell isnot answered, but she can slip her card in the where it will be found as an evidence of ber visit. I know some ladies of the old regime who contend that a card should never be left at the door if a member of the family answers, and the cards are only to begiven servants, but this idea has passed away. ‘In calling for the first time one shonld leave her husband's card with her own, if she is married. If the acquaintance does not prove desirable it can be dropped after the first calls are exchanged. No harm has been done by the call, and it gives un opportunity to continue a friendly ac-- quaintance if desired. After being en- tertained at a dinner one shounld callina ‘week or, if out of town, should send a card. Of course everyone sends a card in response to a wedding invitation and to an ‘at home,’ and a card should always accompany a gift. ‘‘Use the engraved card freely, hut re- member that if there is one thing that is poor form more than another it is to use a written card. unless to accompany a pres- ent. Have yonr cards engraved. let the stationer keep the plate and have new ones struck off when oceasion demands. The stationer keeps track of the vagaries in card fashion, and will give you an idea of whas kiud of card to get,the size, thick- ness, ete., as they change.” To any and all who contemplate sea bathing I have a few pieces of advice to of- fer. Don’t go above your waist line un- less you can swim, and pray don’t have your hair wet with salt water unless youn are willing to sacrifice its luster and beauty. Above all turn your’ back upon tempting white bathing saits, for they mean so much underdressing that getting ready for a hath is a task and getting rid of sticky wet clothing after it a real hur- den that robs the dip of its pleasure. | The fewer clothes a bather can use the hetter. The swimnpier knows that. A waist, bloomers and skirt, stockings: and bathing shoes are quite a respectable ont- fit and the weight 13 nothing of much con- gequenice. Of conrse ‘there must be hose sapporters, for looks, and they must be attached toa belt. If the material of the bathing suis is rough the flish may he protected hy a gauze shirt, but bear in mind that wet garments are so hard to get ‘off that all ‘ex- t1a ones are a nuisance. . i ; — The fackion hooks show lovely pictures | of bathers with fetching tresses and caps. Real life does not have them, for no matter how hecoming the coiffare and head cover- ing, water reduces them to a state of ugli- ness. Of course it is possible to take a kind of sea hath w/thout wetting the hair, bus dootors say that the nape of the neck muss he wet on first entering the cold water to neutralize the shoek. I have found that a rubber. cap that I ran across in a depats- ment store is an ideal head covering, pro- tecting my hair and looking a bit hetter than the usual thing of thas kind. It 1s rubber inside and ‘hlue silk’ outside, roomy and comfortable with two ends that tie in a how in front. Under the bow the fullness is confired hy an elastic string and under this I tuck in aneighth of a ‘yard ‘of uatural curls that soften the out. line of the cap and sfand the water pretty 7] SSE EE i ad I tried various kinds of shoes without satisfaction till I A me little black ones with thin rubber soles, at ‘an absurd price of 50 cents. © I like: them 80 well that I hope I can duplicate them when their days of usefulness have passed, both comfort avd good | nrchased come simple | THE ANCIENT ZORA. j funded. All druggists. It Was the First Corset and Was Used In Cleopatra’s Time. It was back in Cleopatra’s time that ' the corset was first thought of. Who knows but perhaps the dusky beauty of the Nile thought to hold Mark An- tony’s fickle fancy longer could she add | some new charm to her face or figure? | Anyway, it was then that the em: | bryo corset first appeared in the shape ! of a stiffened linen girdle called a! ‘“zora.” Sometimes it was worn out- side the tunic, tightly laced and much | jeweled. ; | Then fashion wearied of the ‘“zora,” | and for twelve centuries the corset languished. The Greeks and Romans next held sway, and beauty unadorned was good enough for them. { In the sixteenth century along came Catherine de Medici, that energetic! lady who meddled in everything, from ! empires to hairpins, and she revived the corset with a vengeance. ! She not only wore it herself, but also issued an edict that all women of birth | and breeding should wear corsets! which should reduce their waist meas- ures to thirteen inches. This corset was called a “corps” and . was stiffened in every possible man- | ner. In this the body was pinched | and forced, while over the “corps” was | clasped a perfectly fitting corset cover, constructed of thin plates of steel, fashioned in two pieces and opening ! on a hinge. This instrument of torture lasted un- til the early part of the seventeenth century, when more pliable materials were adopted. Castoria.

The next change in the corset’s his- tory took place in the early part of the eighteenth century, when leather stiffened with whalebone came into use. Since then it has gone on steadily improving until today for every type of woman there is a specially adapted corset.—New York American. SOURCES OF COLORS. Blue black is the charcoal of the vine stalk. Raw sienna is the natural earth near Sienna, Italy. Ivory chips produce the ivory black and bone black. Turkey red is the madder plant, which grows in Hindustan. Prussian blue is made with. impure potassium carbonate. This most useful discovery was accidental. Cochineal insects furnish many of our most gorgeous colors—carmine, scarlet, crimson and purple. India ink is made from burned cam- phor. The Chinese are the only manu- facturers of this and will not reveal its secret. Cuttlefish give us sepia, which is nothing more nor less than the inky fluid which the fish discharges to ren- der the water black when it is at- tacked. Saddlery.
