—Iobreeding will quickly invite failure.
—Don’t give a hen more eggs than she
can cover well. +
—Breeding turkeys can be profitably
kept up to the fish year.
—Young coults are delicate. Proteot
them from storms and wet grasses.
—The causes of malignant colds are filth,
dampness, drales, neglect and improper
food.
—Dacks seldom become broody; geese
are apt to become broody after laying the
first lister.
— Birds cannot tell their feelings, hence
we must judge and prescribe from symp-
toms alone.
—Weaned colts should not be allowed to
run down in condition at this time. Keep
them thrifty.
—Egge from yearling ducks batch well,
but geese must be about three years old to
shon strong fertility.
—A cockerel can be distinguished from
a pulles at shree months of age, as he will
be crowing by that time.
—It seems the seedless apple is a failure.
Horticulturiste claim it is only a novelty,
and cannot be recommended.
—Do not make the hen’s nest too deep
#0 that the hen will have to jomp down on
the eggs in getting on the nest.
—The pullets batched in March will
make good layers for the late fall, and then
they can be handled so they will lay all
winter.
—Clover seed averages from 15,000,000
to 16,000,000 seeds to the bushel. Two
quarts to the acre gives 22 seeds to the
square foot.
—Seven or eight geese will require as
much pasture as one cow. But they will
devour weeds and coarse grass that oattle
will not touch.
—In the island of Guernsey three cows
are kept on an acre of land. The land is
very fertile and the cows are kept together
and fed on the soiling system.
—The more food a cow can be induced
to eat the more milk she will produce.
Cows do not usually consume more food
than they can properly digest.
—No well about the barn should be open
#0 that he liquid from the place can ooze
into it. A good drilling well cased up or
a driven well aire bess for wach purposes.
—Eunglish sheep feeders attach more im-
portance to sacoulent feeds, such as turnips
and cabbage, than do American feeders.
They are also strong believers in giviug
fattening sheep daily exercise.
—Improvements on the farm should
be better farming by plowing deeper and
using more farm-made manure, more thor-
ough cultivaticn, better drainage and more
scientific balancing of the food for live
stock.
—Cream of low test simply contains
more skim milk. Take a qoart of cream
testing 40 per ocent., and adda quart of
¢kim milk and you have two quarts of
oream testing 20 per cent. There is a cause
for low tests.
—@Get the ewes that are due now in every
night out of the cold. Bat don’t shut them
up 00 close. Sheep are great for fresh air.
They must have it to do well. They are
out-of-door animals and cannot stand close
confinement.
—Home dairy butter-makiog for private
city trade is the most profitable way to
dispose of the dairy product. It imposes
more work on the dairyman aod bis fam-
ily, but gives an independence unknown
to the market milk producer.
—In a report before the Maine Pomologi-
cal Society Dr. G. M. Twitchell said that,
while shipping over one million barrels of
apples this year, Maine loses hundreds of
thousands of dollars for want of a guar-
antee of nviformity in grading.
—If a single day passes when youn do not
see all the sheep, you may get up some
morning to find some dead or helpless.
Count them every day. Go out the last
thing at night and see if they are all right,
espeoially if you expect lambs soon.
—Speakers at the Eastern dairy conven-
tions and farmers’ institute are advising
farmers to raise more grain. They say that
the days of low-priced feeding grains bave
gone by, never to return. This is good ad-
vice for the average dairyman and stock
keeper.
—A man ought to be ashamed to yell at
and scold his horses and cattle. The man
that cannot command his stock in any bet-
ter way than that is not a success at his
business hecause he cannot command him-
self. The man that wins must first learn
to control himself.
—When a country has been farmed for
forty years or more strictly on agraio-farm-
ing basis, things begin to look pretty deso-
late, unles legnme crops have raised
extensively; and, as a rule, where such
shortsighted methods of farming are in
Jracuice the value of legumes is given little
—A bright, clear eye, a brilliant coat,
high spirite and mettle, are good wi of
condition in the horse. this
might be added sufficient flesh thoroughly
to “‘round him oat,” but not to
interfere in the slightest degree with his
natural action, which on no account must
be impeded.
—A recommended roup cure for chickens
is to take two parts sweet oil,one part gum
camphor, one ta tine. To each
ounce of this mixture ten grains men-
thol and oue teaspoonful listerine. Take a
small drop syringe or oil can and put this
remedy into the roof of the mouth and in
the nostrile twice a day.
—In churning at a low temperature the
churn should be when the butter
is in granules abons the size of rice or
of wheat. Draw off the buttermilk and
good pure water. Salt
the butter at the rate of § ounces of salt to
she pound, or slightly more, as the market
may demand. Then work and pack into
ready for delivery.
—For intestinal worms in colts the fol-
lowing mixtare is used by veterinarians:
Mix together as a base one pound each of
salt and granalated ;in this mix one-
half pound of tobacco dust, or fine out to-
baooo; four ounces of sulphate of iron pow-
der; #ix ounces of powdered worm seed.
Give & heaping teaspoontul in the feed at
first once per day, twice per day, and
keep it up for three weeks. :
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Learn to water joy with tears,
Learn from fears to yanquisn fears ;
To hope, for thou dar'st not despair ;
Exault for that thou dar’st not grieve ;
Plough thou the 1vek until it bear ;
Know, for thou else canst not believe ;
Lose, that the lost thou may receive ;
Die, for none other way canst live,
In early spring the condition of the bair
is seldom satisfactory, most women ex-
periencing the fact thas the loss they sus-
tain when brushing it is more considerable
at that time of she year and during the au-
tomo than it is in winter and summer.
Falling hair cau, however, be prevented
to a certain extent if precautionary meas-
ares are taken afew weeks beforehand,
the general health kept up, and the coodi-
sion of the scalp itself made the subject of
special consideration.
Most hair specialists, although they may
disagree with regard to the herbs and
medicaments which they consider stimulat-
ing in such cases, are unanimous as to the
advisability of frequent massage. Many
people, however, make the mistake of con-
fusing rubbing with massaging, and doa
great deal of harm by irriating the skin in-
stead of parsning the method which is
adopted by professicoal massenses in the
treatment of rhenmatism.
It is a great mistake to begin massaging
umtil the bair bas been well brushed,
when, starting at the base of the skall and
| working toward the forehead, gentle [ric-
| tion should be persisted in antil a warm
glow is experienced. Io massaging, the
thumbs should he chiefly employed, the
movement being carried out ina cirenlar
! direction, varied with an up and down ac-
tion.
The great secret of head massaging is
however, that of moving the loose skin
over the scalp, instead of allowing the
fingers to glide over the hair, which not
only nullifies the good which the rubbing
might effect, but is fatal to the young
growth, the finger tips loosening the hair
at the roots and pulling it ont as last as it
grows.
Short-waisted Empire gowns carry out
the idea of the combs and Empire bair-
dressing, writes our Paris correspondent.
Black beaver hats after the order of the
manly chimney pot, but much lower in
the crown, bave come to add smartness to
a good figure and pretsy face. The fash-
ionable collar bands are carried higher at
the back than the sides ; they slope down
beneath the chin. Lace tassels hang from
bands of velvet worn over the collar band.
Fur appears even on petticoats, and hoots
are edged and lined with it. We are wear-
ing the prettiest pointed wreaths inthe
hair, often formed of silver or gold metallic
leaves. Undercoats of quilted soft silk are
deliciously warm and comfortable under
the big coats.
With the return of the shirtwaist fasten-
ing in frout jeweled studs bave revived in
interest. A shirtwaiss set now ovusists of
four of these studs, for the central box
pleat and cuff buttons as a jeweled safety
pin to fasten the linen collar.
The finer white waist fastening in back
is closed preferably with litsle white cro-
ohet buttons and buttons of five white
braid,
To give color to the jabot worn with so
many waists it is a Parisian idea to head
the jabot with a little blow of inch-wide
satin ribbon running down the centre of
the jabot to the waistline.
Most of the lingerie waists are becoming-
ly finished hy a soft ruche edging the top
of the high-boned collar, aud also finishing
the sleeves.
Linens will be nsed so exclusively for the
coat suits, but will be made into frocks
with yoke and sleeves of lace and embroid-
ery. These are often as mach be-trimmed
as an an elaborate house gown, though the
simpler models are more sensible when the
orushing propensity of linen is covsidered
and ite frequent visits to the ironing board.
Most of these [rocks are made long and
show familiar clinging lines of the crepe de
chives and sofs silks of the winter.
A charming model that should hold
good for the entire season, wae of apple
green linen, made princess and fitting in
rather more closely to the waist than do
softer fabrics.
The hottom of the skirt was full, with
three rows of narrow filet insertion above
the edge put in with tiny band crochet
beading. Several inches above it was a
border of the lace and beading formed in a
big broken diamond shaped design in
the centre of the fronts, with a picket fence
design on esch side.
The top of the frock was cut away
sharply under the arms in square lines and
formed a double-pointed, long and arrow
yoke, front and back, ending in broad
straps over the shoulders. The top of the
frock was outlived iv several rows of green
linen braid, while three large, lace-covered
hattons ran down the front of theshoulder
straps.
The yoke and three-quarter sleeves were
of a lighter shade of green mall, heavily
trimmed with filet insertion, put on in
lengthwise bands, orosesd at intervals by
half inoh stitched bands of linen with tiny
lace buttons on each point.
Lingerie blouses, so far, bid fair to be
goimpes for the cotton voils or thin wool
frook. At present, the long sleeves are
smartest, though, doubtless, when the hot
weather arrives the three quarter length
will be as popular as ever. The Ameri-
io woman does not easily abandon com-
ort.
A good looking madras ehirtwaist seen
the other day, was of white u red stuff
wii straight white ooffs for linked but-
It was given a novel touch by a front of
four inch-wide box piaits, set side by side,
each edged with an eighth-of-an inch band
of apple green. Down the two central
plaits were small pearl buttons, set in
groups of two, several inches apart. Those
on the right side buttoned through.
With this waist was worn a white linen
collar, bound in green, with a line of hand-
embroidered green dots above it, and a
small plaited jabot of white lawn, also
bound and dotted in green.
Though there seems to be some signs of
colored lawn and batiste blouses being
worn with white skirts it remains to be.
seen if they can be forced. Asa rule, the
all white blouse is infinitely more service-
able, as it does not fade in laundering and
gives more the effect of the yup and
which is desirable just now.
The striped waists in white, combined
with pink, blue, green or lavendar, are
charming when worn with linen or light
wool suits of the same color, but the plain
colored blouse looks best when used with
tan or natural-toned linen or orash suits,
to whioh they give a relieving touch.

The Bureau of Insular Affairs bas juss
paid the largest price for the smallest sbip-
ment ever sent to the Philippines. It bas
bought for $3,000 one-thonsandth of a gram
of radium, which is eyuil to 01543 ols
grain, troy weight. The puichase, which
hax been made in New York, is for the
Bureau of Science of the Philippines, which
purposes to use the radiom in a veries of
experiments it is about to conduct.
insular bureau is in something of a
quandary as to how it shall ship this pre-
cions mineral speck, bat it is assumen shat
the New York concern from which it ie
bought will manage to pack it in a suffi-
cient namber of wrappers.
When the requisition reached the bureau
the acting ohief calmly called for guota-
tions on radium by the pound or ounce,
but the New York purveyors evidently
feared that the price on radium in
such quantities would cause mental and
physical collapse in the bureau and disre-
garded the specifications.
Major Melutere, it is stated on $rost-
worthy authority, put oo his strongest
spectacles and then sent for a magnifying
glass merely to read the quotation, after
which he sent it by wire to Manila, bat
with little expectation that the offer would
be accepted. Greatly to his surprise, how-
ever, he received a reply a few hours later
saying, in effect, that the Bureau of
Soience would like $3,000 worth, bat would
regard the price as too high il any extra
charge was made for boxing or shipping.
AsSoringlfs the radium goes forward this
week.
Young BHMothers
are not always wisely guided when they
choose some medicine to give them
strength adequate to nurse baby at their
own breast. The need at this time is real
strength, strength which lasts. So called
‘‘tonies’’ and “‘stimulanis’’ do not give
real strength. “They give a temporary
support and a stimulated strength, which
does nothing to balance the drain of the
mother’s vital forces by the nursing child.
Of all such preparations those containing
alecohol are moss to be dreaded. Many a
child has hegun the drunkard’s career at
his mother’s breast. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Presoription makes motherhood easy and
gives to those who use it, a real strength,
whioh the baby shares. It containe vo
alcohol, whiskey or other intoxicant and
no opiam, cocaine or other narcotic. It is
the best medicine for woman and woman's
ills which has ever heen prepared.
All Her Doing.
“Your husband,’’ said Gaddie, ‘‘appears
to be a man of great self-control.”
“Yes, replied Mra. Heokham, ‘‘he ie.”
“I suppose,’ Gaddie wens on. ‘‘he inber-
ited that qualisy from his father, the
judge.”
“No,” she replied, significantly, “it’s a
virtue he acquired since his marriage.” —
