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.

—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

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
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.

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.
