FARM NOTES. —Sunshine is cheap and healthful, Have pleuty of it in the stable. —As the cows gradually change (rom tare to dry foods, feed liberally, even tter than in the depth of winter. —A sprinkliog of straw mauare over kale and spinach will keep the plants in better condition than if left nacovered. —Provide nails to hang the cas lids on and a wire screen to lay cans, and keep out the tive frog. —The frost is one of the agents of the farmer for pulverizing the soil. Every ciod or lump in the field is a detriment, according to its size, as the finer the soil the greater its feeding capacity. —Some farmers reduce prices of hay by the practice of placing inferior bay in the centre of the bales whenever it can be done. This causes distrust on the part of the pur- chaser, and be therefore resorts to straw, salt hay and other foods thas can be used as a substitute for clover and timothy. —Inexperienced s who undertake the ma! ent of will find much to learn before they can succeed. The win- ter care is important, for the bees must not be kept too warm, and if exposed they will perish. A apeeiol house should be provid- ed, which should be kept at a uniform temperature. —The small and uosalable sweet potatoes are just as valuable for the fattening of hogs as those that are of marketable size. Sweet potatoes contain a large proportion of sugar, and are, therefore, very suitable for the fastening of stock. They should be cooked and bran added. Being very whole- some, they may be fed liberally. —The solids of the milk are what call for or use up the food of the animal. It makes little difference with the food con- sumed whether a cow puts a pound of bat- ser or two pounds of cheese into a pailfal of milk, or diffuses it through two. The dif- ference hetween the two kinds of milk is water, and this costs vothing, but adds value to the whole. —Pat the young roses that have just rooted into the cellar, where the frost will not reach them, but do nos keep them too warm. If started very early in the spring in the house, and set out in the open air alter the frost has passed, they will make rapid growth and hjoom during the sum- mer. - Old rose bushes may be cat back af- ter the ground is cold, and protected with straw or old bags. —It is neither profitable nor always safe to keep great numbers of hogs together. Besides the liability of dieease getting among them there is always the certainty that the stronger will crowd the weaker from their feeding places, so that the in- equality in sizes will increase instead of decrease. In every litter there are always one or two weaklings that were born rants, and unless given a hetter chance thao their fellows they will always remain small and weakly. —Before the ground freezes the rap: berry plants may be laid down and covered with a slight covering of earth, and the strawberry plants should also receive a covering of some coarse materia!—always remembering that, as this plant is partially an evergreen, it must not be covered so deep ns to keep the air from the green leaves. Whatever tender plants there may pe in the garden that are to be left over wiate: should be carefully protected before the cold weather comes ob. sometimes inquisi- —Grape vines should be planted about eight feet apart each way aod about 10 inches deep, cutting them back to two or three bads above ground. A crop of po: satoes or strawherries may be grown be- gween the rows the first two years. An excellent plan is to allow two canes to grow the first year, cutting back each year to three bude, again allowing two canes to grow. When the vines are five or six years old from three to five canes may he left. Always cut the old wood back to about a foos of the ground if stocky vines are re- quired. It isthe young wood that bears froit. —In the growing of alfalfa the land must be plowed deep and harrowed fine. Manure and fertilizer should be applied liberally in the spring and lime applied on the land in the fall. Sow the seed in the spring, using #lrom 10 to 20 pounds of seed, according to , sironmstances, sowing broadcast if the land , is clear of grass and weeds. If not, it will 1 be.an advantage to drill the seed in rows, , olose together, and cultivate the first year . with wheel hoes.

DAILY THOUGHT. Evil was called Youth till he was old, and then he was ealled Hat it.—R. 1. 8, Though we women no longer dress to look like members of an institution, to the utter destruction of ivdividuality,and wuch more laxity is permissible a« to material, ous and color t a few years since, there is every season one predominant color, This year is bids fair to be black for every possible occasion. For black is to be in prime favor for both day and evening. Isis prominent in every material, serge, panama, eolienue, voile, crepe de chine, roxana, tamise, EYpS, orispine, marquisette, radium ves and uze—and the poor blonde or high-color- ed brunette may rejoice in the happy con- sciousness that she will look he: best this coming season. A feature of the new black is that much of it is embroidered in beavy serges as well as fine heoriettas, and silk-avd-wool eoliennes show silk embroidered figures, rings and dots scattered over the surface at somewhat wide intervals. Charming voiles are seen with openwork silk figures that give a very novel touch. The old-time black grenadine is in agaiu strongly for this winter, both in the plain barred mesh aud in fancy weaves, The chiffon grenadine in shadow effects is par- ticularly lovely. Black crepe de chine] and chiffon voile will make stylish house and theatre gowns, especially if is has the new shadow checks und stripes. For the woman who thinks the light materials now worn in winter a downright tempting of Providence there is always broadcloth. The newest have the shadow checks, which are specially effective with the high lustre of the cloth. The chiffon broadoloth,so popular recently is not found to be as satisfactory as the ordinary weaves. Every other bat you see has plaid on it somewhere caught up into a rosette or more often, into the great how that is 80 irresis- tibly reminiscent of the sash of onr child- hood days. The way that bow at the back fits down over the hair is the prettiest thing imaginable. But--a great big but—those plaids are being done to death as violently as were tha k feathers of last spring. IV's only a question o! time—and a short time at that—when they'll go ous with a bang, exceps for sohool hats and she like. Paris is indulgiog in the dearest bootees imaginahle—shoes that are made of finest kid and buttoned instead of laced, the but- tons set more closely togother thao they've been for these many years in which man: nish styles have held sway. Even dress shoes have crept op from the once-ubiquitous pump, avd the prettiest white hootees give the foot that slim grace- fal look that is the goal toward which every Parisienne strives. — These are the days when the careful and thoughtfal homemaker is laying plavs for the alterations aud improvements she will make to her house iu the fall. Few of us realize what a lot of little details must be thought out in the decorating and arrang- ing of every room. — We will take for example the dining room, and do the room entirely over. The first point to consider is what shall the wall treatment be, but if the room must be done at listie cost, the choice will have to he wallpaper. If the room has a south- eri exposure and plenty of light we can uke almost any color, but if itis dark, as oar dining rooms so often are, we must be careful to have a paper with warm colors, that will light vp well and not throw gloomy shadows. Nothing is nicer for a dining room than sunuy appearance, aud is warm enough for winter and cool enough for summer. I should use either a plain felt or a yellow-stripped paper. The wood work should bi: painted ivory white, two coate being put on before the Japetigand a third coat added afterward. the doors are not too high, a shell built op of them with three or four pieces of china on it of good bold design adds a dec- orative note. Corner shelves are always an improvement toa toom, besides being a gent convenience, and window seats ould be built in wherever possible. These can be made very easily by the home car- penter. In putting in shelves it is best to paint them first, and then add the last coat after they are up and the nailholes filled in with patty. A stained floor is the most serviceable for a dining room. This can easily be dove by an amateur if it is a softwood floor. First the floor must be thoroughly cleaned, then a thick coat of good paint applied, y dark mahogany in color mixed with varnish, which can be bought prepar- ed. When this isdry give it a second coat. It ie hest to do she floor when the tempera- tare of the room is over 60 degrees. This floor will look nice for a long time, if, in- stead of cleaning 18 with water or oil, a oleaner is applied, wade of equal parts of linseed oil, turpentine and Japan. The floor covering should be a carpet rug, of green, or one of the new hand wov- en of the same color, with touches of yellow in the border. These are partic ularly nice as they are washable, spots oan be easily taken oat with a sorab brash and soap and water. The choice of furniture minst be largely governed by the poskethoult, The pret. tiest thing to have is old mabogany furni- tare. Such a piece a¢ this is a good invest- ment, as the wood is well seasoned, and ing apart; but for those who caunot afford mahogany furnitare,and must farnisk their dining room in the way possible, 1 would suggest that the; ohaire, unfin , of simple design, aod paint them white or mahogany color. Such chairs can be boughs for 75 cents or $1,a0d | are very artistic. Instead of a sid get a kitchen table with drawers if possi. e, and pus three shelves, the length of the table and about a foot apart, above it. This is very decorative with plates arrang- ed at the back of the shelves and . ble dishes, eto., on them. This be painted to mateh the obairs. {CA5TORIA sem —————————— HE BROKE ALL RECORDS | New York, Nov. 3. — The United States now holds the record of “furth- erest north,” 87 degrees .6 minutes. This feat was accomplished by Com- mander Robert E. Peary, of the United States navy The intrepid Arctic ex- plorer failed to reach the North Pole, as he had confidently hoped to do with his specially constructed vessel, the Roosevelt, but he penetrated nearer ROOSEVELT. to the pole than the Duke of Abruzzi’s expedition, which had held the Arctic record, 86 degrees, 34 minutes. What Commander Peary did and his experi- ences during the past year in the frozen north are rather briefly, but certainly vividly, summarized in a communication received by Herbert 1.. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic Club. This communication fol- lows: “Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate, “New Foundland, Nov. 2. “Herbert L. Bridgeman—Roosevelt wintered north coast Grant Land, somewhat north Alert winter quarters. Went north with sledges February via Hecla and Columbia. Delayed by open water between 84 and 85 degrees. Be- yond 85 six days. Gale disrupted ice, destroyed caches, cut off communica- tion with supporting bodies and drift- ed due east. Reach 87 degrees, 6 min- utes, north latitude, over ice, drifting steadily eastward. Returning ate eight ate dogs. Drifted eastward, delayed by open water, reached north coast of Greenland in straitened conditions. Killed musk oxen and returned along Greenland coast to ship. Two support ing parties driven on north coast Greenland, One rescued by me in starving condition. After one week re cuperation on Roosevelt sledged west, completing north coast Grant land, and reached other land near 100th meridian. Homeward voyage incessant battle with ice, storms and head winds. Roosevelt magnificent ice fighter and gea boat. No deaths or {illness in ex: pedition. PEARY.” After furnishing the Associated Press the contents of Commander Peary's report, Mr. Bridgeman sald that the receipt of any news from the explorer now was quite a surprise to him, because he had supposed it had become too late in the season for Com: mander Peary to send news of his ven: ture. Mr. Bridgeman added that the message spoke for itself, and that since he did not know more of the re suits of Commander Peary's effort to reach the North Pole than the public did he could hardly comment upon the dispatch. There was little doubt, how- ever, he said, that Commander Peary was coming home. The previous record for the point nearest the pole was made by Captain Cagni, of the Duke of Abruzzi's Italian expedition, who reached 86.34 north, or within 237 statute miles of the pole. The point reached by Peary, 87.6, placed him about 203 miles from the North Pole. Commander Peary's polar steam- ship, the Roosevelt, left New York on her long journey in search of the North Pole July 16, 1905. The Roose- velt was built in Maine and came down to New York, where she was re- fitted before starting. The vessel, for which funds were furnished by the Peary Arctic Club of New York, was designed by Naval Architect William E. Wyant for Arctic exploration. The Roosevelt had a crew of 20 men, under Captain Bartlett. — ——— Was 102 Years Old. Findlay, O., Nov. 6.—Mrs. Anna De- pew, one of the oldest residents of Ohio, died at her home in Wharton. Her age was 102 years, and she has been a resident of Wyandotte county for the last half century, removing there from New York state. She was related to Senator Depew. ——————————————— The Kind You Have Always t has I ati of Cha.
