FARM NOTES.
——Where might is master, justice is
servant.
—The small aod inferior cabbages
uapie a Sood for, poultry, and willbe
highly re! n winter w
is scarce. They are easily bandied as the
heads require no cutting, the fowls pick-
ing them to pieces and consuming them
down to the stalks.
—]It the animals are allowed to run
down in flesh it will be a loss to the farmer,
as he is then compelled to restore them to
their original condition before he makesa
gain. At the same time there is a waste
of many days, as the animals are below
their normal condition, which is lost time
that can never be regained.
—The free use of lime in the autumn,
ly under frais trees, will material-
ly assist in dessroying fogle. Use air-
slacked lime, and apply freely. Isis not
as as some of the spraying mix-
tures, hut is beneficial to a certain extent
at this season. Some soils require lime,
and it will prove as valuable under trees as
on land intended for regular crope.
— Better butter can be made on the farm
than at the creamery, if the same care is
given. The ers of creameries secure
the best assistance that can be bad, and
they aim to put good butter on the market.
The alvantages pisseiel by the farmer
who makes dairy butter are that be can
feed bis cows on the best feed, use more | 8°
care and work with cleaner surroundings.
— Potato tops cost the farmer more than
tubers in fertility. The solid matter of
tubers is mostly starch, while the tops
contain a large proportion of potash, for
which reason potash is an essential ingredi-
ent in the cultivation of potatoes, as
healthy tops and vigorous growth conduce
to a large proportion of tubers. The tops
of all root crops should be saved and added
to the manare heap.
—Ropy milk is caused by bacteria, but
it is not as yet known how this bacteria
gets into the milk, unless it is from the
body of the cow, or from eating some kind
of weed. Wash the udder, teats and body
of the cow before milking ; also see that
the vessel and the bands of the milker are
olean. The animal heat in milk should be
removed as soon as possible by passing the
milk over a cold surface or through pipes
surrounded by ice.
—To a careful observer it is clear that
horses are now better classified than form-
erly. Thus the horse that is best adapted
to road purposes is placed at such work,
and the horse that is suited best to the
plow and beavy hauling has its own proper
work assigned. Hence the advantage of
breeding for a purpose. The man who
makes the best success of rearing horses is
the one who clearly understands the situa-
tion, and breeds what is moss desirable for
his customers.
—In digging potatoes, known to be pure
reed, and of the same variety, [requent
variations may often be noticed. Some of
these are due only to differences of soil,
but others are true ‘‘sports,”’ and will re.
roduce their kind if planted another year.
f the ‘‘sports’’ are unusually productive
and valuable they should be carefully
saved for planting. In this way some of
the best varieties of potatoes bave been
originated, one or two kinds of Late Rose
being prominent instances.
—An orchard is a necessity on the farm.
It is well known that a farm containing an
orchard will sell at a fair price when farms.
with no orchards are sacrificed. The buyer
always looks for the greatest number of
advantages, and if apples, peaches, peare,
plums and small fruits can be found, in-
etead of only an apple orchard, the value
of the farm will be increased much more
than the original coat of the orchard. If
the farm is not for sale the orchard will be
a source of profit to the farmer.
—For a permanent pasture, timothy, red
top and orchard grass are generally used,
as these grasses seem to hold out as well as
any. Other kinds may be added, if pre-
ferred, but the three mentioned should
never be omitted. The fall or early spring
is an excellent time for re-seeding the pas-
tures, but in so doing the farmer should
use clean seed, use it plentifully, and
soratch it in if possible. One of the best
plans to assist the ure is to sow white
clover seed on the places, us it will
make growth where some seeds will fail.
—Farmers who consider $300 too high
for a 14-pound butter cow should remem-
ber that no outlay is too great provided the
retarns therefrom are satisfactory. There
ia a great difference in the price of a pure-
bred Jersey and a common cow, but there
isalso a wide difference in the buster pro-
duced. A cow is valuable only OT
to what she produces, and the cost ,
One cow producing 14 pounds of butter is
more profitable than two cows producing
seven pounds each, because she requires
less room and also entails less expense fot
food and labor, thus producing batter at a
lower cost per pound.
—The harvesting of apples is one of the
most important duties connected with ihe
“10h, The time has gone by when apples
could be shaken from the trees, or
ap from the ground as windfalls. The
best success in keeping them in winter is

is warmth, not cold, that injures them.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN,
DAILY THOUGHT.
Frugality makes a poor man rich. —Seneca.
*‘Stout women often try dressing stripes
to make them look saller, bas it does not
a Ks Lt oe
pes run queerly o
looks ae. The stont woman should
not wear stripes or plaid or figures of any
kind,” says a dressmaker.
“It is a mistake for ber to wear long
lone, aw. lines. She should wear
fitted or semi-fitted clothes, and she should
choose dark materials.
“If the stout woman wants to wear
white a dress can besecured that will nos
much increase the size of the waist line. |
1t can be made of heavy lace, but it muss |
fit rather snugly, and there must be plenty
of length between chin and belt, says the
New York Sun.
“Then she should never wear short
sleeves unless she is very sure that her
arms are white. [It is better, much better,
to bave the sleeves long and lacy right
down to the knuckles.
“She should never wear low neck. Her
friends may teil her that her neck is beau-
tifal, but the cold, critical public will not
agree with them,
“A really beautiful neck is quite thin.
There are suggestions of curves, and there
are shadows and there may be the suapi-
cion of a bone or two. From the neck t
throat rises like a columuo which is largest
as the base, and the head is supported
proudly upon this column.
The neck looks long and slim, aod the
head is set upon it like a flower
upon its stem. There is sok}eg flowerlike
about the head and neck of fhe stout wom-
an and she should avoid low-necked
wns.
““The stout woman who wears a bow
collar around her throat does herself an
injustice. She makes herself look as if
choking to death.
““The original Worth once made a gown
for a very stout woman, who was alsoa
very short woman. Instead of giving her
sweeping lines, all loose and uncertain, she
dressed her in a black lace of spanish tex-
tare. The gown was tight fitting and
there was a train.
‘Not an extra inch of fullness was added
to her figure anywhere. When dressed for
evening she looked much smaller thao
many a woman who weighed less.
Stout women shonld not wear jet. The
same prohibition applies to satin which
makes a woman look immense. And the
stout womau should not wear yellow,
which is a color that magnifies.
Oue of the surest ways to destroy the
tension thas too frequently characterizes
the first hour of an evening party where
the guests are not well acquainted with one
another is to introduce a guessing game in
which the participants do not sit down bus
move about the room. And if the hostess
can make the game reveal the ingenuity of
her guests etill greater interest and enjoy-
ment will be added and she may increase |
her laurels won as an entertainer. A game
which answers this purpose may be called |
‘‘Alliterative Acceptance.’ |
In response to the invitations, which the
hostess should write with as much allitera-
whom she writes, each guest is requested
to send a sentence of about ten words, the
pravailiog initial of which is the same as
is or her name, and which gives a bint of
some characteristio of the writer, such as
his business, hobby or personal peculiarity.
These sentences, but not the names of the
guests, are then written singly on cards
and vumbered to correspond with the
pames of the writers. After attaching
listle loops of baby-ribbou all will be ready
for the evening.
Upon arrival each guest is given a card |
to wear, told to guess the names of the
persons to whom the sentences refer, and
to write his answers upon another card,
which, with a pencil, is furnished also.
Should a guest obtain bis own sentence he
may or may not ask his hostess for
another card, but by keeping his own he
may divert suspicion—always a fun-pro-
voking practice.
After allowing a reasonable time for
guessing the identity of the writers may be
revealed and the correct and incorrect
esses counted by each participant. Ad-
itional fun may be obtained il the sen-
tence is read aloud and the guests asked
to announce the name of the writer.
It desired, prizes either for the hest two
lists of correct guesses, or for the best and
poorest (the booby), may be awarded.
The following samples of alliterative
sentences may serve as suggestive:
Mr. More, a banker: Mercenary mortals
make money merely to mitigate mundane
matters.
Miss Smitb,a dressmaker; Several softly-
sight spinsters sew sedualously in silent
tude.
Mr. Tucker, a lover of horseback riding:
The tenderloot trotter takes trivial tosses
as terrible tambles.
Mr. Allen, a lawyer: Attorneys are al-
ways attempting artifice and aspiring to
arrogance.
Miss Williams, a school-teachez: Who
whimpers when whining whippersoappers
are w ed?

A long traveling coat is a convenience, a
simple dressing gown is a necessity.
Six sets of underwear are enough, as you
can easily add to your supply.
Enough shoes and slippers of different

violence, and many things which cannot be
overcome when they are together yield
themselves up when taken little by little.
