FARM NOTES.
— Baking soda is said to be a good rem-
edy for colic in horses, as it starts the dis
tressing gases, thus giving relief.
—Give two ounces, night and morning,
of tea made by steeping buchu leaves in
soft water, for kiduey trouble in horses.
—A little wood ash is beld to be very
beneficial to horses. It is given, a tea-
spoonful at a time, sprinkled oo a feed of
oats,
—1It theorown of the turnip be out off
and only the bottom of she bulb given to
milking cows no flavor of the turnip will
be imparted to the butter. About one-
third of the bulb should he cut away with
the crown which can be fed to steers or
pigs.
~The brood sow should not be fed corn
every day of the year. This grain should
be given most sparingly just before farrow-
ing and in its placea ration of two quarts
of oats, one quart soaked corn with, say,
one part wheat, will provea very exoel-
lent food.
—Brood sows should always bave suffi-
cient nutritions food to keep them in fair
condition. At farrowing time the sow
should not be too fat. If she bas bad
plenty of exercise aud is in fair condition
she will be better prepared to care for her
offspring.
—It is said that the qoail bas been
known to destroy 60 different kinds of
weed seeds, and it is a fact that about 5
per cent. of his food is made up from seeds
that are barmful to the farmer. He aleo
annually destroys large numbers of injar-
ions buge.
—Withhold solid foods until the call will
take them dry, which is usvally at about
three weeks ofage. As the call grows
older encourage big eating in order to re-
cure good storage capacity, and with sound
and nutritious foods stimulate both diges
tion and ability to digest.
~The calf is of a fine market for milk.
One Pennsylvania dairyman reporis that
he kept a record of 80 calves, which con-
sumed 12,000 quarts of milk, for whick be
received $481. He estimates that it takes
146 quarts of milk to make a calf four
weeks old, which will weigh 160 pounds if
it has Holstein blood.
—Clover bay out fine and osoked and
steeped in boiling water, makes an exoel-
lent change of food for brood sows, or for
cows that have recently calved. It is also
exoellent for young stock of all kinds ; if
lightly seasoned with salt and a small
quantity of bran and cornmeal added to it,
it will provide nearly a complete food.
—In this section about the best time to
plant cherry trees is in early fall or very
early in spring. It is better to plant in
Ootober even hefore the leaves fall, strip-
ing the leaves off, than it in late, just be-
ore winter set sin. In fact many trees would
do better than they do were they set early,
stripping their leaves and not waiting for
the leaves to fall.
—For intestinal worms in colts the fol-
lowing mixture is used by some veterinar-
fans : Mix together as a base one pound
each of salt and granulated sugar ; in this
mix one half pound of tobacco dust or fine
out tobacco, four ounces of sulphate of iron
powder, six ounces of powdered worm seed.
Give a heaping teaspoonful in the feed at
first once per day, then twice per day, and
keep it up for three weeks.
— When a horse ‘‘ambles’’ he has a gait
like pacing, but slower, in whioh the two
legs on the same side are moved together.
The *‘oroup”is the part of the horse back of
the saddle : the ‘‘forearm’’ is that part of
the leg hetween she elbow and the knee :
and the ‘‘elbow’’ is the joint uf the foreleg
next the knee. When a horse ‘‘forges’ it
strikes the toe of the forefoot with the toe
of the hind one ; and this lass is often the
result of bad shoeing. ‘‘A ‘‘hand,” used
in measuring the height of a horse, is four
inches.
—By rich cream we have commonly
come to understand to mean milk rich in
butter fat. It is admitted shat wilk richest
in butter fat is also richer in casein ; and,
while an excess of butter fat is nos likely
to disarrange the stomach of the calf, an
excess of casein will. Therefore, allowing
the milk to cream, aud removing this to
reduce the richness of the milk to the needs
of the call, is au aggravation rather than a
modification, for by the skimming process
the preporation of casein has been in-
creased, while the effort that should have
been made should have modified she casein.
This can be accomplished by simply addiog
water to the whole milk, maintaining
blood temperature.
—The age of sheep is very easily shown
by an examination of the teeth. A lamb
has the first pair of permanent front teeth
when about 10 months old ; the second pair
appears at about 18 months ; the shird pair
at 28 months, and the fourth ut about 33
to 40 months. When the whole of the
permanent front teeth have appusrts the
sheep is in its fourth year. e Merino
matures its teeth later than the other
breeds ; the Costwold and Southdowns and
other highly-improved mutton sheep are
some months ahead of a Merino, but at 4
years every sheep has its full mouth of
teeth. Later the age is known by the a)
rance of the teeth, which gradually
ose their sharp edges and besome worn
down smooth. A healthy sheep will keep
its teeth good until 10 or 12 years old, i¥
the pasture is not unusually bare, and the
soll sandy, so as to wear the teeth excess-
vely.

are lost because of a lack of fresh, pare
water.

ter than vel or oyster shell for grit.
There be no fear of feeding too much.
When fed two or three times a week,
scalded olabber milk and whey will be
found to be fine feed for either old or
young chickens. It will increase the yield
of eggs.

sucoess as a poultry raiser will be out shor.
Beginner should not start in by trying to
raise several breeds and varieties of fowls.
Better confine the efforte to raising one
species. Nearly all the successful poultry
raisers make a specialty of only one or two
varievies. They find that it does so experi-
ment with half a dozen or more breeds.
You will find it a better investment if
ou will train your fowls to come to you
{ostead of running from you with fright.

! face of ignorance,
Coat and skirt costames of all types,
from the plaisest tailored trotring frook to
the bandsomest long-skirted visiting frock, |
possibilities than did tbe first domestic
models shown, bus of revelations there is |
up to date a decided scarcity.
Limpness of the most emphasized sort |
characterizes both skirt and coat, redun- |
dans ourves are eliminated and the coat is |
cut to fall almost straight, bus slightly sug-
gesting torso carves and granting the cold:
est recognition to the hips. The coat is
long, too, of the redingote class, but sog-
gests the court of Louis XV more than the
Directoire.
The bess skirt, close fitting at top and
limp at bottom, yes has not the narrowness
at bottom prescribed by some of the ex
treme fashion makers. On the contrary,
it widens into soft falling, ample folds.
Buttons of soutache and ornaments made
from soutache—the braid, of course, matoh-
ing the broadoloth in color—are the only
trimming, bus the broadeloth is exquisite
in quality and color and the desigver of
the mode! has achieved a costume which
1s elegant and modish without freakishness,
and would be a safe investment even for
the most fastidions of women.
It is almost an uowristen rule that al!
the richness of embroidery in the new even-
ing gowns goes to the adornment of the
corsage.
The dress itself of the modern elegante
is olassic in its simplicity, and no trouble
is spared to make every fold fall with per-
feos precision and to give length of line and
slimness. This season the case of the short,
stout woman will be a perilous one, and
ber only hope lies in delivering herself over
to the hande of a good dressmaker and
trusting to modifying effect of dark tints
and the length of the train to achieve the
best results.
Traivs for evening gowns will, in fact:
be very long and ous into a definite point
instead of the usual round or square.
Sleeves will be partioally nil. except fora
slight draping of lace, satin or tulle, or
chains of mock geme, and the waistline
will depend entirely on the choice of the
wearer.
Setting aside width of brims, the new
bats cannot exactly be termed ecoentrio in
gabe. Their orowns are normal, neither
high nor low for the most pars,” bus wide.
A few high-crowned models are to be seen,
bat it is evident they are made for buyers
who do not care to purchase too many of
one class and exist for the purpose of re.
lieviog a comparatively narrow brim from
tameness, says the millinery Trade Review.
We shall only know later on whether or
no Parisians are going to favor them for
the same reasons, and to what extent they
will hear comparisons with the new
ues.
ew toques are as big in their way as the
hats above referred to. They may even be
said to have a brim, since between the
opening for the head and their edge they
measure a matter of four or five inches,
which ie also abous sheir depth. Like the
hats, they will require to be worn with
the hair very much puffed out at the side
as the fashion is at present.
Velvet seems destined to take a some-
what secondary place this season amoung
fabrics for covering bats, or to pat it more
correotly, for stitching over shapes, and
when used in this capacity it is more often
the under side of she brim that has the
velvet facing. For full crowns and for
draping over toques it has, however, lost
no ground.
Sountache braid enters into the composi-
tion of the new hats as a decoration. Many
of the latest models show a tame crown
braided in rows, completed by a brim of
satin, and are to he had in black and
colors.
An odd nee of the braid was on a satin
bat trimmed with she wings of the guinea
hen and a dook combined. These were
arranged in the front, going in opposite
directions, and were held down with large
discs (dollar size) made from the braid
and connected with knotted loops of the
braid.
Huge roses like cabbages are going to
be very fashionable this winter for bat
trimming. They are sometimes used to
compose the crown, one being ample for
the purpose.
On the other hand, some of the Parisian
milinery is quite small. There is some-
thing of novelty in the two extremes in
size heing simultaneously fashionable.
Buttons will represent the fetish of the
woman of fashion this year.
The favorite examples in conjunction
with the most elaborate gowns are fashion-
ed of shot tissue or velvet covered witha
little latticework of metal thread, while
for evening wear there are round buttons
about the size of small cherries, encrusted
with pearls, mock diamonds or heads.
With dresses into which the Paisley de-
signs are onnningly introduced a great suo-
oess has been made of large head buttons
composed of all the orange, tawny and
brown wallflower tints, which are intro-
duced in the border of the gown, huge ex-
amples of the same description being seen
on some of the new hats.
The following is an excellent way of
sewing buttons on children’s coats, ete.
Make a good sized knot in your thread,
which should be fairly coarse; then place a
small pearl button on the inside of the
coat. Put the needle firat through the
material, starting from the right side of
the garment, then through the small bus.
ton, then back again th h the material
and right throogh the big button.
Continue to stitch throngh and through
until the hutton feels quite firm, then give
the thread a twist or two round the hase of
the top batton and finish off securely.
There will then be no fear of the buttons
coming off or tearing away the cloth,

secution in Europe, and for the safe, though
eventful, voyage across the Atlantic Ocean,
this day of prayer or “‘Gedaechtoiss Tag,”
has been religionsly held each year at ove
or the other of she seot’s meeting houses,
The day is divided into forenoon and
afternoon sessions, and presumably from
the earliest ohservances of the day provi-
sion for dinner as the honse of worship bas
been made each year, #o thas the worship-
eis would not be compelled so return to
their homes for the noouday meal.
At the close of the moruing session the
benches are covered with pure white linen,
and ou the tables thus hurriedly prepared
a simple repast of bread, butter and apple-
butter is served. The exercises of the day
have uniformly been of a devotional nature,
The singing of hymns, the offering of pray-
ers, She delivery of one or more sermons,
the recounting of cause of the observance
of the day have always been a part of the
program. In recent years there has heen
a tendenoy to widen the scope and influence
of the day by trying to wecure for it a more
general attendance, irrespective of church
connections, so that thousands who bave
no interest in the Schwenkfelder teachings
eagerly look forward to September 24th, as
a day of great treat, as the hread, butter
and apple-butter are always of the very
best.

The Taste of Tin,
A man may live in the city and boy a
squash and eat it. That is all he can do
with a boughten squash, for a squash that
he cannot raise, be cannot store, nor take
delight in outside of pie. And can a man
live where his garden is a grocery ? his
storehouse a grocery ? his bins, oribs, mows
and attics so many pasteboard boxes, bot-
tles, and $in cans ? Tinned squash in pie
may taste like any squash pie ; but it is no
longer squash ; and is a sqnash nothing if
not pie? O, bus he gets a lithograph
squash upon the can to show him how the
pulp looked or God made is. This is a sop
to his higher sensibilities ; it is a commer.
cial reminder, too, that lite even in the
city should be more than pie—it is also the
commercial way of preserving the flavor of
the canned squash, else he woald not know
whether he were eating squash or pump-
kin or sweet potato. Bat then it makes
little difference, all things taste the same
in the city—all taste of tin.—Dallas Lore
Sharp, in the February Atlantio.
Wrecked tn Port,
Sometimes a ship which bas weathered
arotic gales or tropioal syphoons, is wrecked
in sight of port on some trival shoal or rook.
It is a ead thing. It is sadder yet when a
young man who bas laid in a store of learn-
ing for a lite ornise, is wrecked before he
leaves the port of howe on his life voyage.
Sedentary habits, innutritious food and in-
sufficient rest often develop an inherited

the warning cough. He presses on, eager
