—Charcoal is much appreciatee by the
fowls. The best is charred grain.
—It is desirable to get them into the
cellar with the least possible disturbance.
—Chickens are the best main line. Ducks,
geese, guineas and turkeys are good side
lines.
—Beets cooked and chopped make an
excellent addition to the winter food of
chickens.
—There is little danger in having the
sow fat if the food used to produce fat is of
the proper kind.
—The very best condition powder for
the poultry consists of clean guarters, good
feed and pure water.
—As far as can be done, the sows should
be bred to farrow their pigs not later than
the latter part of September.
—As soon as the little pigs hegin to eas,
they are then practically supported and
demand less and less of the mother.
—1f the bees are sc bewildered in the
cellar, they should be placed there the
latter part of November, unless the weather
is unusually fair.
—Many of the bees remember their old
location, even alter four or five months of
confinement, and a change helps to be-
wilder them when firs tremoved.
Leave the caps or covers ol the hives on
the summer stands with the number of
each hive marked on the inside of each
cap, so that they may he returned to the
same identical spot in the spring.
—A lamb is, perhaps, the most difficult
of all animals to recuperate after it has
once started down hill, and the wisest and
most economical plan is to care for them
from the start 80 as to maintain a thrifty,
healthy growth.
—Anyone who has a few acres of land,
whether used as a truck patch or a fruit
farm, should keep a few fowls, not only
for the direct income they will bring, but
also for the large amount of valuable fertil-
izer they will farnish him, as well as the
insects they destroy.
—Look over the peas and beans for the
weevil. Place the seeds in a close box, bav-
ing a top—such as a cigar box—and pour
half a teaspoonfal of bisalphide of carbon
over them, closing the box tightly. Allow
it to remain closed for an hour, and the
seed will be clear of weevil.
—The shepherd should breed for size,
weight of fleece, evenness of distribution
over the body, for length of staple and
fineness, for vigor, healthfulvess and con-
stitution, and as a result, he will soon
bave a flock of large thrifty sheep, which
Yield him each season fleeces of the highest
merit.
—There are never too many eggs in the
markets that are strictly fresh, and the
farmer who will take the management of
his fowls from the female members of the
family, keep large flocks and seek his cus-
tomers, will ind poultry more profitable
than larger stock in proportion to capital
invested.
—Pedigree does not always indicate a
animal, but it enables the breeder to
now something of the family from which
the animal came, and permits him to bet-
ter understand how to develop it and what
may be expected. In all families there
are some animals superior to others, but
the pedigree is a guide to breeding.
—If a garden is made on*sandy soil espe-
cially in a section where nearly all the soil
is sandy, the use of air-slagked lime will
be found very beneficial, as sach soils are
deficient in lime. Gas lime will not serve
as a substitute for stone lime, bat shell
lime is excellent, however, though the use
of stone lime should be preferred. The
cost is small compared with the benefits
derived.
—The fitting valoe of grains depends
largely upon the freeoil or fat contained
in them, with their sugar, starch, eto.
One per cent. of vil is considered equal to
more than 2 per cent. of sugar and starch.
At these estimates 69 pounds of corn equals
78 pounds of barley, but the barley is
richer in aluminoids, and is therefore, more
val able than corn for the development
esh.
—Keeping apples by burying them in
the gronnd proves succrssful when other
methods fail, provided every apple is sound
aod free from blemish when harvested.
The reason is that the temperature in the
and or mound in which the apples are
ept varies but little, and they are always
cool. The same results will be obtained if
a cold and even temperature can be secured
in a cellar.
—1It is true of all poor stock that itis
never profitable,and it is especially troe of
sheep. Weed out closely. The most im-
portant point in successful winter manage-
ment of the flock is to begin with strong
and healthy avimals. Sheep need nos be
cared for in a different manner from moss
other farm stock, but there is more wisdom
than luck in keeping them in good con-
dition through the winter.
—Fixed wages for a ‘‘day’s work’ is
not the proper mode of contracting. There
is as much difference in a day’s work be-
tween individuals as in the value of the
products of the farm. Nor can any method
be devised for determining the value of a
day’s work on a farm until the labor has
been performed. Whenever work can be
done by the piece it should he the rule,
though this cannot well he the case ona
farm.
—Window plants that appear yellow, or
do not have a healthy appearance,are over:
matured or affected with insects. The pots
should he examined in order to discover if
the draimage is perfect. It is not neces.
sary to have the earth wet, but simply
moist, aud to allow the earth to dry some
will do no harm. The dust in the rooms
will settle on the leaves of the plant which
makes it necessary to give each plant a
thorough washing once a week.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
‘The nearer the intimacy the more cuttingly do
we feel the unworthiness of those we love; and
because you love one, and would die for that love
tomorrow, you have not forgiven, and you never
will forgive, that friend's misconduct. And here-
in lies the magnanimous courage of love, that it
endures this knowledge without change. — Robert
Louis Stevenson,
Am those nice little points of dress
that rr. well-dressed French woman are
even more important than her bat and
gown, first to noticed is the change in
glove fashions. White gloves are much less
worn. And, strangely enough, they are
seen more with the severe, long-sleeved
tailor suits than with any other.
When monequetsire gloves accompany
the shorter sleeved costume they are often
light tan or chamois shade, and frequent-
ly they are black. The latteris a most
extravagant fashion, for everybody knows
how soon a black glove loses its pristine
freshness, and then it is useless to the wo-
man who knows what an ill effect it gives
to her whole costume.
Shoes continue in the long, squar-toed
shape. For afternoon wear those with
black patent leather vamps and pale gray
suede tops are best liked. Though there
are many high-heeled, dark brown kid,
with lighter brown suede tops. The effect
in either case is that of an overgaiter, but
without the clumsy thickness of the latter.
When there are brown shoes there are
apt to be tan gloves and a leather-brown
feather boa—the latest shade for this indis-
pensable accessory of the well-dressed Paris-
ienne’s toilette.
Brown veils have grown even more pop-
ular. They have small velvet dots sprink-
led generously over the fine golden brown
mesh, or that of more extravagant creamy
white. The latter being indeseribably be
coming.
In the category of becominguess might
be mentioned the present neck ‘“‘fixings.””
Those very high linen collars, so dear toa
French woman's heart, have been rendered
much less trying, and, ageoriing)y, more
numerous, by the present way making.
Though they are juss as stiff, they are, ap-
parently, much less so because of the hand-
embroidery which covers the single thick-
ness of linen forming the oater turnover.
Then, the handkerchief linen jabots, edged
with baby Irish lace, which are now worn
as neckties, make the whole arrangement
hand worked and very lovely.
In colored gowns it is the same. There
is always the transparent yoke of filmy
lace, baby Irish or point d’alencon prefer-
ably. This, indeed, stretching over the
throat like the skin itsell, is the most be-
coming thing we have had in many a day.
Cat steel buttons always bold their own,
especially this year, when combined with
gay enamel or gold. Particularly effective
was one with a rim of cnt steel around
solid white enamel, with steel studdings
and an open filigree centre.
If you know a woman whe dotes on a
pretty table, give her a set of doilies for
Christmas. She can never get more of
this sort of thing than she veeds, and if
von do the work yourself it is bardly prob-
able that she will have a duplicate set.
These doilies may be round, square or
even oval. They may be entirely of the
lace or, what is thought more effective by
many people, they may bave a centre of
very fine linen or of Brussels net.
Sometimes the lacemaker fiods it im-
possible to secure a pattern for her centre.
piece that exactiy matches the doilies.
She can overcome this difficnity by join-
ing four of her doilies intoa circle and
inserting a centre of either the linen or
the net.
The question of size is important and,
perhaps, a trifling puzzling to the woman
who has not been accustomed to doilies on
a'bare table, The smallest wade are for
sherbet glasses, and are about four inches
in diameter; those for a tumbler about five
inches; for a finger howl about six inches
across, and those intend to go under plates
run from eight to twelve inches, according
to the size of the plate—whether for hreak-
fass of dinner. e ordinary centrepiece
is anywhere from sixteen to twenty-four
inches in diameter.
Use sage tea to keep your hair from be-
coming gray. Make a strong brew, strain
through muslin and add a suggestion of
alcohol. Apply to the roots every night-
Beat to a fine cream one-half pound of
butter, add gradoally one cupful of pul-
verized sugar, a wineglassful of sherry, a
wineglassful of French brandy and enough
lemon juice to bleach the mixture. Powder
with nutmeg and set in a cold place ill
needed. This savce is better if made the
day belore it is to be used.
Old-Fashioned Molasses Candy.- Cook
slowly over the fire one guart of molasses,
one cupfal of sugar, and butter the size of
an egg. Just before removing from the
fire, add a teaspoonful of soda, and flavor
to taste.
The season is now at hand when furs are
a part of the out-of-door toilets of most
women, and wise is she among her sisters
who gives a few moments of each day to
the care of those sho possesses.
Never put your furs away damp, When
you come in on a stormy day, shake every
possible snowflake and raindrop from both
muff and boa, and spread them in a safe
placeto dry. Then before putting them
into the clos:t hrush the fur the wrong
way with a good stiff clothes brush. You
will find the reward for your diligence in
the renewed fluffiness and softness of iss
appearance.
Careful women keep white furs, or very
light-colored ones, in pasteboard boxes,
between layers of tissue paper. These
delicate furs may be cleaned with lump
magnesia. If the collars on the darker
fars are greasy at the back of the neck,
clean them with a piece of cotton batting
wet with gasoline.
Aud, women, don’t toss your handsome
fars in a heap on the top shell of a dark
closet, and expeot to find them ina wear-
able condition at the end of the first win-
ter! Eternal vigilance is the price a woman
tun pay if she expects to be well dress.

PEWS FOR OLD MAIDS.
Distinctions In the Old Hate
field Meeting House.
Around three sides, cbout on a level
with the pulpit, in the old meeting
house at Hatfield, Mass., extended the
galleries, reached by staircases on the
northeast and southeast corners, where,
in the front seats, sat the singers, tre-
bles on the north and basses on the
gouth and counters and tenors on the
east. The next two rows of seats were
occupied by children, girls in the north
and boys in the south, and froiicsome
youngsters they were, if we may judge
by the frequency with which the town
was obliged to renew the brass tips to
the staves of the tithing men, three of
whom were always on duty to keep the
youth from disorder.
Behind the children and still higher
in square pews against the wall sat the
young men and maidens, the latter on
the north and the former on the south.
One gallery pew was reserved for col-
ored men and one for colored women,
and, queerest of all, a high square pew
over the north stairway was assigned
to old maids and a similar pew over
the south stairs to old bachelors. Just
how many years these two classes had
to number before they were promoted
from the lower seats in the synagogue
the records do not state, but that they
sat In those exalted seats Samuel
Dwight Partridge, to whom we are in-
debted for the description of the old
meeting house, assures us is beyond
question. The square pews on the floor
were assigned to householders, accord-
ing to wealth and social position.—

TRICKS OF THE CAMERA.
Why You Should Let the Photogra-
pher Do the Posing.
“I always hate to have my picture
taken, because I have such a horrid
long neck,” sald the woman petulantly
as she entered the photographer's gal-
lery.
He smiled sympathetically. “Wait
till you see the picture I take,” he re-
plied. “You won't know your own
neck, so to speak. No, it isn't in re-
touching, but I always pose a long
necked subject lower than the camera,
and the neck shortens up. That's only
one of the tricks of the trade. The
hatchet faced man I pose looking
straight into the camera in a full
light. His face seems to broaden and
become more fleshy in this pose. The
person with a fat, round face I place
so that soft shadows veil either side
of the face, which has a tendency to
make the features more clear cut and
handsome.
“I often have subjects with crooked
noses, Now, a crooked nose should be
frankly attacked—that is, the camera
should be pointed directly at the crook,
which reduces it. If I took it from the
side the deformity would be exaggerat-
ed a hundredfold.
“The homeliest persons need not fear
having their pictures taken if they will
put themselves wholly in the photog-
rapher’'s hands and pose just as they
are instructed to."—New York Press.
Lonely Man In a Crowd.
“Once in a great while,” remarked
the old New Yorker, “I have been
caught out on Broadway in the theater
district just as the women and girls
were coming out from the matinee per-
formances. In spite of the fact that
there are always a great many men in
this crowd the proportion of femininity
is overwhelming, and I've been puzzled
to find a satisfactory reason for my
sense of confusion and embarrassment,
But now I know just howl feel and
why I have the emotions that always
beset me so keenly there at such a
time. 1 am simply suffering in the way
a man always does who goes to an aft-
ernoon tea and finds himself the only
one of his kind who has appeared on
the scene.”’—New York Press,
