FARM NOTES.
11 the teats of she cow have a tendency
$0 be sore or dry rub a little pure vaseline
on them.
—The pallet that commences to lay earli-
est in life is the one to lay the largess nm
ber of eggs through life.
—An old cow is usually harder to keep
in good condition. The age of a cow has
mach to do with her value as a milker.
—No shoes should be left on a farm
borse’s feet longer than two months, aud
on a road horse not more thao six weeks.
—Place alump of rock salt where the
cows can have access to it. They are the
best judges of the amount they should
have.
—Toferior buster frequently results from
keeping the cream from one milking too
long while saving it to add more cream for
the next churning.
—-Perhaps a little carpenter work—jast
such as most any farmer can do— will add
considerably to the comfort of the cow sta-
ble, the pig pen or the hen house.
—Throw out the stalks of corn that bave
fungus growths on the ear. Then barn
them. These fungus-growth stalks should
never be found with curustalk shooks.
—The following meal mixtare is highly
recommended for hogs : Oats, finely ground,
50 per cent.; barley, finely ground, 20 per
cent. ; shorts, 20 per cent ; oilmeal, 20 per
oent.
—Nearly all animals fear fire, and will
rash from it in terror. To others it seems
to havea reversed effect; they actually
walkiug right into a flame, regardless of
the torture of the heat.
—The following, taken from an old
sorap book, is recommended as au ioval-
uable hoo! remedy : Linseed oil, ball-pint;
surpentine, four ounces ; oil of tar, six
ounces ; oraganum, three ounces. Shake
well.
—For scratches in horses try this : Oxide
of ziuo, one dram ; vaseline, one ounce.
Never apply water to the legs. Scratches
will never ooour when the mud has been
allowed to dry and then brushed off with-
out the application of water.
—*‘Cholera’ is a sure thing again at the
time of the year when corn is fed liberally
to the hogs. There is no doubt about
cholera being a germ disease, but it is a
fact that we rarely hear of this disease in
aarters where corn is vot fed hogs too
reely.
— According to some experiments noted
by the Department of Agriculture it was
found that where cows were wilked three
times a day, morning, noon and evening,
the milk was richest at noon and poorest
in the morning; and, when milked morn-
ing and evening, the milk was slighsly
richer in the evening.
—By dressing the lower half of a fence
poss, in order to remove all the splinters,
and then allowing it to dry till perfectly
seasoned. will greatly prolong its life. Alter
being dressed as much of the post should
be dipped in coal tar as is to be nuder the
ground. If the pars abave ground is paint
ed with white lead the length of life is al-
most doubled.
—Bottled honey is getting to be more
and more popular with the consumer class,
The number of artivles that have been pub-
lished on methods of bottling have resalted
in popularizing the sale of honey in glass
to such an extent that tons and carloads of
it are now put up in that form that former-
ly sold iu bulk at very low prices—too low
for the beekeeper to make a fair living.
—According to Government estimates,
the crop shortage of winter and spring
wheat will be 110,000,000 bushels (nearly
15 per cent. less than last year); corn, 400,
000,000 bushels, or 14 per cent. less than
last year; oats, 220.000,000 bushels, or 21
per cens. short. The grain shortage, how-
ever, is somewhat made up, throughout
the West especially, by the more abundavs
Krass crops.
—It has peen proved by a number of
carefal tests that where the original fertil-
ity of the soil has not heen serionsly de-
pleted by wrong methods of farming the
application of commercial fertilizers does
not resalt in a orop increase snflicient to
defrar the cost of spplication. Commercial
fertilizers have no place whatever in ordi-
nary auriocultaral operations where a proper
_ ergp rotation is maintained.
—A horseman says that when he has a
horse that balks, he quietly gets out of the
wagon and pate the animal on the head for
a minute. Then be picks up a stone, lifts
up either front foot from she ground, gives
each pail a light tap, avd a smart tap on
the frog, then drops she foot guickly and
tells the animal to go. In almost every
case, he says, unless overloaded, or the
harness is not right, the horse starts,
—The harness should receive the best of
care. Wash with castile soap and hang up
to dry. Before entirely dry take a tub and
fill io several inches of machine oil and dip
all parts of the haruess, 80 as to cover well
with oil, giviog the leather time to get
saturated. Then hang the pieces over the
tub to drip. Finally rub all parts with a
flannel cloth. Rass or mice will not gnaw
at harness that has thos been treated with
machine oil.
—An experienced hog raiser says thas if
your pig is sick and you don’s know what
ails is give a tablespoounful of spirits of tur
peatine ina quart of milk; aod if you
thiok it may be sick, bat are not certain
about it, give thesame dose. If you know
what ails the pig give the turpentine, and
as apt as not it will care she complaint and
will do no harm anyway. There is some-
thing in this. Ina majority of pig diseases
turpentine is indicated.
—It is worth while for the stook feeder
to remember that the chief merits and re-
deeming feature of the average stock food
consist in the percentages of corn, bran,
oats, alfalfa and oilmeal which they may
contain, The intelligent feeder will be
able to form a patritive and well balanced
ration from the feeds mentioned which
will not only prove vastiyjmore economical
than the high tonios pat up in fancy
packages, bat just as effective.
~Feed the sheep a variety, being sure
thas the rations are properly balanced. It
is said that for each thousand pounds of
live weight there should be fed 25 pounds
of dry matter day. When feeding the

Let us fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years

many the most al vete-
ments are quite shors, their weight is very
noticeable. The braids used are absolutely
encrusted upon the luxurious background
shey adorn, and coarse and fine kinds are
ually popular.
Thor actual soutache is not employed a
substitution is made of cord covered with
silk or velvet, and egain baodwork is
brought ito play to produce the effect of
braid by means of a very beautiful form of
ornamentation carried ous in cable silk.
Of a truth braiding, well done, is very
delightful.
The multiplication of blues bids fair to
goon ‘‘ad infinitum.” Indeed, oar color
vocabulary will soon necessitate a diotion-
ary of hues up to date, il we continue to
waltiply nuances,
The variety of blues alone is a dazzling
one. “Sea holly’’ and ‘‘Saxe,’’ ‘‘Dresden’’
and ‘“‘Copenbagen’ ‘‘cornflower” and
“electric,” ** Wedgewood’ and ‘‘Gobelin,”’
to say nothing of tbe ‘‘Atlantio” and
*‘Mediteranean—they are aps to be a little
confusing to the amateur.
No doubs there will soon be found varia-
tions of all the other colors of the rainbow,
and the only difficulty will be to train our
eye successfully to apprehend all these del-
icate shades.
There is no doubt whatever that the wear
of all primary blues should be avoided,
and it is this conviction probably which
bas led our dress experts to evolve so many
beautiful and becoming pasted shades,
which are infinitely more becoming than
the old criard tones.
Women who occupy the premier rank
of elegance are flattening their tresses on
the crown of she head, and are broadening
them above the ears. Admittedly this is a
direos reversal of what was expected, and
actually favor: for a short time, but no
one is acconntalife for Fashion's whims, of
whiash this new manifestation is one.
Instead of wearing ohi-chis the smart
woman is now threading ribbon through
her bair tied in a rather flas bow on the
summit of her head. She wears her ribbon
in the daytime, and makes it an adjunct of
her millinery—a very smart one too, it
must be agreed.
The ribbon is arranged half hidden, half
displayed among the waving strands of
bair that are so prettily puffed in and out
in great undulations upon the bead. Rao-
mor bas it that the Psyche knot will take
the place of the curl clusters that onoe cen-
tred the coiflare, but at the present mo-
ment there is a compromise effected between
the Greek braid and the poaf, which is
eminently satisfactory.
Had you heard that the elhow sleeve is
doomed ?
Nothing of the sort ; it is being exhibited
on the smartest of smart toilettes even
shorter than ever, and reaches vanishing
point in one or two notable instances.
One is upon the smart mantels that are
going to she South, whioh are absolutely
sleeveless, bat are afforded the elegant fin-
ish of a deep shower of fringe arranged
to fall over the arms, which are clothed
with the sleeves of the dress and very long
gloves.
The fall dress evening toilette is follow
ing the new cult in an extravagant degree.
Is, too, has no sleeves at all, unless the
little wisp like hall handkerchief draperies
that are passed beneath the arms are taken
a8 apologies for sleeves. Fringe, again, in
this case is called into requisition to play
the part of drapery.
There are exceptions to every rule, and
Worth insists npon long sleeves upon tail.
or made costumes.
Kitchen showers for brides-to-be are al-
most as much in favor now as linen showers
and are really more entertaining for the
guests, although the actual ‘‘shower” is
dispensed with becanse of the weighty
present+—ocooking utensils. As a subtitute
for the shower, a large nmbrella to which
the gifts may be fastened is set about the
hostess throne chair, that should be pretti-
ly decorated for the occasion.
To be in keeping with this festive fano-
tion the umbrella must be covered with
bright crepe paper or gay colored cretonne.
Have ready plenty of ¢ clothespins’’
with which to attach the gifts to the um-
brella. Then when all the guests bave
arrived aod bave stacked their offerings,
prettily wrapped and tied, in the throoe
room, let someone strike up she wedding
march on the piano or all hamming it in
unison escort the bride-to-be with pomp to
the throne,
When seated with her ladies-in-waiting
grouped about her, les the mistress of cere-
monies step forth, and, taking the paock-
ages ooe by one, fasten them with the
‘snap pins’’ to the ribs and border of the
umbrella, reading aloud the accompanying
verses as she places each present. Now all
joining bands circle about the bride, each
throwing into ber lap as she passes a hand-
fal of real rose leaves or imitation ones ous
from soft pink paper. If the latter are
used good wishes may be written on each
one in gold iuk.
Now, as the bride is assisted from the
dias, let her be presented with the chef
d’oearve of the shower in the ola
home-made cook book, each girl baviog
contributed several of her own choicest
recipes. These should have been written
previously on sheets of heavy paper of
tqual size, each one containing at the head
the page a small p of the
writer, then the recipes, and lastly a foos-
uote referring to the receipe given or some
epigram or quotation soited to is.
It will sake some little time now to ex-
amine all the packages, after which very
light refreshments may be served and mu-
sic and happy talk finish the afternoon.
The refreshments may consist of hot
frothed chocolate, nut sandwiches, fanoy
cakes and ice cream,
Amouog the quotations that may be uti-
lized with good effect in the presentation
of gifts are these with a bread board or
kitchen ewer :
It one wants to preserve the food value
and nutriment of different foods, steaming
should be more often used than it is. This
method of cooking preserves all the flavor,
as it prevents its al ion in the water,
Steaming iv well adapted to vegetable
preparation. Potatoes Juticalany, never
get soguy as they do with boiling.
The objection so many people have to
steamed meats instead of roasted is gener-
ally because they do not understand the
use of the steamer or neglect to take out
the meat for browning.
Steamed puddings are mach more health.
ful than those that are boiled directly in
the water.
Quite Familiar.

Nearly 1,600 People Died with Mea-
sles,
Measles killed 1,463 persons in Pennsyl-
vavia during the year 1906, according to
the records kept by the Bureau of Vital
Statistics of the State Department of Health.
Of these 1,240 were under five years of age.
Daring the month of December alone in
this past year there were reported to the
State Department of Health 2,307 cases of
this disease which annually kills about two
and one-halt times more children than
scarlet fever and yet continues to be re-
garded by so many people with compara:
tively little concern.
““How to make the public appreciate the
really serious danger of measles and get
them to observe precantions to prevent the
spread of the disease is about the hardest
bave encountered,” said State Health
Commissioner Dixon.
‘A scarlet fever case in a neighborhood
seems tostrike terror to every mother’s
heart. If quarantine regalations are brok-
en by the members of the infected house-
hold our health officers receive immediate
complaints from other parents in the vicin-
ity who are fearful that the disease may be
transmitted to their own little ones. Thie
is nataral and right, for scarlet fever isa
dangerous disease. Bat if we could only
get mothers to be equally concerned in
keeping their children from the infection
of measles we might save many a home
from the sorrow of an infant grave.’’
Billious people who have found no relief
in ordinary medicines should try Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They are won-
derfully snocessful in caring and prevent.
ing that discouraging complaint.
