~—When you add new stock be careful to
. look for the presence of disease.
—Rape is said to be one of the best of
bog feeds, as it does uot cause bloat.
~The kind of crops a man grows isa
pretty good index to the man’s character.
—Young pigs are often killed by lice
and the owner is not aware of the cause of
the ailment.
—The Government is deveioping the
Morgan horse at the breeding establishment
as Waybridge, Vs.
—For the farmer the draft horse and
good roadeter are far more valuable than
the speedy shoroughbred.
—Farmers should raise as way horses
or mules as possible. Prices are high and
good stock finds ready sale.
—Horses and mules are fond of sweets.
On the sugar and rice plantations they are
fed plenty of molasses on their coarse
feeds.
—Pat in a little time odvasionally in
washing and oiling the barness. It will
make is last longer and is more comforta-
ble to the horse.
—Break colts to the halter when young
and baondle them frequently. By this
method they will be easier broken to work
when they are older.
—The American mule is said to be worth
$416,939,000. For it is claimed that itis
comparatively immune from disease and is
not susceptible to contagion.
—No matter the age, do not sell the
brood sow as long as she prodnces good
strong litters. But if a sow is not a breed-
er sell her, regardless of age.
~Teere are dairymen who will not be-
lieve that a cream separator will pay for
itself on one year. ey seem to be afraid
that they will be convinced, too.
—Mixed feed is valuable because itis
easily digested. It is made from hay, corn,
ootton-seed meal, alfalfa, cotton-seed hulls
and other feedstuffs ground into meal.
~The so-called new Alaska wheat now
being extensively boomed by Western pro-
moters, was planted on the Idaho Experi-
meot Station farm and yeilded only 20 to
35 bushels. The discoverer’s olaims run
all the way from 100 to 222 bushels to the
acre,
—Horses that are idle in the winter
should not be fed much feed that is rich in
nitrogen, as, for instance, clover bay. Ifa
horse does not receive regular exercise he
cannot assimilate such feeds, and conse-
quently the system becomes clogged and
the disease known as azoturia takes place.
Horses to keep in good condition should
have daily work or exercise.
—A simple method of ventilation may
be obtained by the use of muslin curtains
in the place of some of the glass in a win-
dow sash, using about three equare feet of
muslin for each cow. The bess results are
obtained by ronniog the muslin trom floor
to ceiling. Blinds or shutters may be pro-
vided to use in cave of heavy storms. This
makes a good substitute for a more costly
system.
~—To keep 8p Sb fertility of the soil it
is imperative that the orchards be liberally
fertilized. Both mineral and vegetable
fertilization is necessary. A crop of apples
will remove considerably more potash from
the soil than will a erop of wheat. To pro-
duce trees requires large quantities of both
vegetable and mineral matters. Unbleach-
ed wood ashes are excellent, and if potash
is used in mauriate form 200 to 300 pounds
to the acre should be sown broadcast among
the trees.
—Professor F. D. Coburn is authority
for the statement that wherever alfalfa
grows the land is not only enriched, but
the growers as well. It not only fills the
soil with valuable plant food, but as bay
and pastore it brings large returus that
substantially increase the owner's bank ao-
count. Through its wonderful root system
alfalfa restores, enriches and improves
rather thao depletes the soil, to the great
benefit of other succeeding crops. It makes
poor land good, and good land better.
—A Department authority saye there is
no question but what powd milk is
soon to become a very important factor in
establishing the price of dairy products.
Is is made from skim milk and is being
largely used by bakers, coufectioners and
others, to whom a pure article of skim
milk is a daily necessity. The powder
may be stored in boxes and the addition of
a little water does the business, and the
user is independent of the milk dealer or
delayed milk trains. The foreign demand
for this milk is sare to be large as soon as
the value of the article for human food has
been shorooghly established in foreign
countries.
~—In cold weather the drinking water
for dairy cows should never be near free.
ing point. In order to produce a regular
and large flow of milk, the dairy cows
must consume large quantities water
each day, but they will not readily drink
much water if is is very cold. Even if the
water ie only cool many cows will not drink
« tufficient amount. They want it to be of
a mild, or even warm, temperatare. There-
fore, it is important that during the win-
ter water should never be given cows nn-
less the chill is taken off of it. Either
pump is warm from a deep well, or warm
it by pouring a kettle of boiling water into
the drinking trough.
—The Kansas experiment station bas
realized $11.90 per acre from rape pasture
and $24.10 from alfalfa pasture in 98 days.
These results were obtained from she fol-
lowing experiments, which were begun
July 25 and concluded October 31:
Thirty shoats averaging 52 pounds in
weight were divided as nearly equal as
possible into three lots of 10 each. Lot No.
1 was fed on a grain mixture of shorts one-
half, cornmeal one-fourth and Kaflir oorn-
meal one-fourth, in a dry lot. The other
two lots were fed the same grain ration,
but one received rape re and the other
alfalfa pasture in ition. Each lot was
given what grain the hoge would eat up

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Just where you stand in the conflict,
There is your place ;
Just where you think you are useless,
Hide not your face ;
God placed you there fora purpose,
Whate' er it be,
Think He has chosen you for it,
Work loyally.
—Home Notes.
Age cannot alter nor custom stale the
popularity of the barn dance as a
merry-makisg.
Like the progressive card party, while
new favorites come and go, this form of
frolic “‘goes on lorever,”” and is always a
success.
A ball can be employed when a barn is
not to be had, and at sbis time of year can | aftern
be made very barnlike with Autamn leaves
and country produce.
Besides the of scarlet and yellow
foliage there should be bales of straw and
rolls of fodder corn in the corners of the
room ; of apples and onions and
obains of dried corn ears wired together to
festoon the walls ; pumpkins and equash
lanterns as illumination. Country dress is,
of course, a foregone conclusion, but in case
the women {i the necessary caps and
aprons, these can be sold at the door—caps,
5 cents, aprons, 10. Calico ties for the
men guests at 5 cents, can also be
and straw farmer hats at ten cents. The
proceeds can be donated to some local
charity.
The Spook Dance.—A barn dance with
an element of m which renders it
specially suitable for a frolic in an old barn
isa carnival of spirits (or, as itis also
called, a spook hop). Invitations should
be decorated with skull and crossboues and
might be worded after this model : —
Dear Spirit :—We hope you can attend a
carnival of the epirite at Mason’s barn by
the Mill Creek on Thursday evening—{rom
9t012, R.8. V. P.,, and in case you join
us wear spook dress and disguise.
Yours ghostily,
THE SPIRITS.
The spirit dress is a loose, flowing cos-
tame cut from old sheets, with a muslin
mask. It is perhaps the most inexpensive
fancy dress disguise ever discovered by
merty revellers, h
On the appointed evening arriving guests
find the baru dark, save for one flickering
lantern swung at the portal. The barn
door is opened by a spirit, who lays oue
finger upon its lips and indicates the direc-
tion guests are to take in order to join the
rest of the etherial merry-makers.
The dancing hall (found by means of
small pumpkin iamps strong along the
corridors) is draped with white aod black
tissue paper. At one end of it a concealed
orchestra plays faint music for the dancers.
The unmasking may take place about
eleven o'clock. When masks are removed
the orchestra plays aloud. At balf past
eleven, supper is served—nsually on boards
laid across trestles. These boards may be
trimmed in advance with black and white
crepe paper, looped up with rosettes of the
same. Favors are tiny skeletons, death's.
head caudle lamps and other shivery
trifles. :
Barus’ Barn Dance. ~-When a really
charming costome reel, with plenty of
scope for color effecs and originality is de.
sired, try a Robert Barus Dance. Invita-
tions are issued in eighteenth century
phraseology aud programs have tiny minia-
tares of the poet with different verses ex-
tracted from the poems. At least a por-
tion of the program will consist of the Rog-
er de Coverley and square or country
dances. The polka, schottische and other
old-fashioned terpsichorean favorite should
figure rather than the modern two-step and
waltz. The costumes required are shose of
Eoglish or Scottish country folk of the
Eighteenth Centary.
Nats, cider, onokies, apples, and if de-
sired, coffee or mulled wine, form the
refreshments.
A Hoboe Dance.—Then there is the Ho-
boe Dance (or Tramps Carnival), where
the required costume is simply the most
ragged and weather beaten costume appro-
priate to his or her sex that the guest can
pat bands on. The corridor is laid with
strips of wood, representing railroad ties,
which the tattered malion crowd must
walk to reach the dancing ball. Weary
Walker and Wandering Willie find femin-
ine counterparts among the women all
wearing patched frocks, old shoes and
d millinery. Refreshments are served
io tin pails.
Gypsy Dance.—Or the revellers may be
taken a gypsying, both sexes appearing in
Bohemian dress. A gypsy kettle swong
on forked sticks and a wagon or tent, in
which she fortunes of those sitting out
dances are told free of charge, add to the
pictaresqueness of the scene and to the fan
of the evening.
ADVICE.

Try to be something,
Causing the world to remark !

For the Nurse.—Clothes wrung out of
very hot water will relieve almoat any pain,
and will aot much more quickly than a
plaster.
Consul General Guenther writes from
Frankiort that in many parts of Europe it
is customary among the people to barn
sogar in sick rooms, a practice which is
considered by physicians as an inzocent
en tion, neither beneficial nor barmfal.
He adds : ‘‘Professor Trilbert, of the Pas-
tear Institute, at Paris, has, however,
demonstrated recently that hurning sugar
develops formio acetylene-hiydrogen, one of
the most powerfal antiseptic gases known,
Five grams of sugar (77.16 grains) were
barned onder a glass bell bolding ten
quarts. After the v bud cooled bacilli
of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, smallpox,
eto., were placed in the bell in open glass
tubes, aud within ball ao hour all the
microbes were dead. If sugar is burned in
a closed vessel containing putrified meats
or the contents of rotten owe the offensive
odor disappears at once. e popular faith
in the disinfecting qualities of burns
sugar appears, therefore well founded.
Brown Bread Sandwiches. —For this par-
pose use either Neufohatel or Philadelphia
cream cheese. If the former is very
you must moisten it a trifle with sweet
milk, or, better still, cream. Add just a
dash of parkipa to give it tang and a little
it. Finally to ods Shoese add Hult o Sup

Eoglish waloute are best for this purpose,
Almonds are flat in flavor. Spread this

A Place for Homeless Girls.
*“Where shall I pat my little girl?"’ How
many times the question is asked in sore
ity when the mother is called away
or the home broken ap. Until very recent-
ly Protestantism bas had almost nothing
to meet this need.
Baus the deacouess is changing this. Or-
flourish ander ber care. A school
or boys and one for girls have been estab-
lished and bave been wonderfully success-
ful. Lass of all a Little Girle’ Home bas
been opened by two of the women, ina
comfortable country home, near Rensselaer,
Ind. It is not intended alone for the poor-
est children.
Many of the children are balf orphans.
One, however, has both father and mother,
who brought the child of six years, declar-
ing that though so young, she was utterly
unmanageable—by them. But a single

deaconess. ‘‘You did’t whip her?”’
“No, I never strike the children. Isis

do a certain thing and quietly insisted upon
it. Is sook two hours, but I've not bad a
particle of trouble since.”’

‘I suppose, Uncle Jim, you remember a
good deal about the politics in the early
days?"
“Well, I never tak much int'rest in
pollytios, bat I kin recollect when John C.

“Fremont! Why, Fremont was never

Florida Camphor Trees.
As showing how favorable to camphor
growth the soil and climate of Florida are,
a newspaper of that state tells of a tree
planted by Captain J. P. Renfroe, of Rich-
land. It is seventeen years old, forty feet
high, its branches cover forty feet, and its
diameter twelve inches above the ground
is four feet. The hills around Richland
seem to be specially adapted to the growth
and development of the camphor tree in its
highest state. The tree becomes useful for
the production of the gum in a few years
after planting.—New York Sun.
