—It is a good rule to market all stock as
soon as they can be gotten ready. Poultry
is no exception to the rule. Chickens,
ducks, turkeys and geese should be rapidly
fattened and quickly sold.
—A horee needs a wider and more exclu-
sive stall than does a cow. It should be
wide enough so that the horse can lie com-
fortably acd stretch ont its legs, but not so
wide that he can roll io is.
—The young pigs shoald be provided
with plenty of exercise. Iu the absence of
more natural exercise the herdsman should
turn the pigs ous of doors twoor three
times a day, and drive them about the yard
for awhile.

about $100,000,000 worth of farm machin

States. It is said that fully one-half of this

—Experiments recently made for the

salt produced 1} pounds more wool and of

—The Government's preliminary esti-
mate of average yield per acre of potatoes is
85.9 bushels, as compared with 95.4, the
final estimate in 1907, 102.2 io 1906, and
88.6 the 10-year average. A total prodao-
tion of 274,660,000 bushels is thus indi-
cated, as compared with 207,942,000 in
1907. The quality is 87.6 per cent.
against 88.3 last year, and 87.6, a 10-year
average.
—The United States Department of Agri-
culture gives the preliminary estimate of
the average vield peraore of corn at 26 2
bushels for this year, compared with 25.9,
the final estimate in 1907, and 25.6, the
average of the past 10 years. The indi-
cated total production of corn is 2,642,678,-
000 bushels, as compared wish 2,592,300,-

ity is 86.9, compared with 82.8 in 1907,
and 84.3 the 10-year old average.
If the hens are slow in moulting feed
them well on wheat, meat scraps, green cat
bone, and some oil meal if it can be had.
Feathers are of a nitrogenous growth, and
foods rich in nitrogen must he supplied to
furnisn materials for growth. With these
rich feeds must be given plenty of good
sharp grit for grindiog, fresh water for
dissolving, and an abundance of exercise
on the pars of the fowls for perfect asimila-
tion appropriation of the foods when
digested. e fowl that forages wide and
exercises much when natural foods are pro-
curable, as a rule, moults quickly. Much
exercise is very essential. The hen thas
sheds her feathers and sits around the
hoanse all day, even though well fed, is
likely to go bare till late in the winter,
hence will not do mach laying. Water,
grit, nitrogenous feeds and lots of exercise
will hasten the process.
—Lime is very cheap and ia one of vhe
very best of cleaners for pouliry houses
and all places where animals are quartered.
Let the lime become air-slacked, toa dry
powder, thoroughly mix with it abouta
pint of crude carholio acid to each bushel
of slacked lime, aud apply in the powdered
form to nests, roosts, floors and yards. It
isa good absorber of odors, kills many
insects, and is a sure preventive and core
for the roup 80 common with chickens
in winter. After the lime bas heen used
for this porpose it may he applied to the

the cheapness of lime and its efficiency as a
disinfectant and soil improver, it will pay
every farmer aud poultry man to always
keep a few barrels of it on hand, and use it
constantly.
A tight, dry hoard floor in the winter
henhouse saves feed and keeps the ohick-

haages put the bolts of ribbon
in bag, fastening the bodkin to one

For a very complete case for sewing and
toilet articles.—The foundation is a piece
of flowered ribbon nine and a ball inches
wideand twenty-two inches long; a yard
aod a quarter of plain ribbon six inches
wide and several years of narrow ribbon to
be required. Bas from
the six-inch ribhoa a piece thirty inches
long and whip is on one side of she flower-
ed ribbon. Stitoh a piece of narrow ribbon
along the inside of the plain ribbon one

Divide these into sections to hold scissors,

ribbon in the pockets and sew five rings on
upper edge of case.
A set of bands for underwear whioh is
most attractive and easy to make. The
bows and straps are made of ribbon two
and a quarter inches wide, while ribhoo
one and a quarter inoh wide is fulled over
inoh-wide elastic for the bands proper.
The plain strap of wide ribbon bears the
name of the garment for which it is to be
used, done in gold letters.
A novel pin-holder made to represent the
four suits of playing-cards,—spades, clubs,
diamonds and hearts. The different sha
are out out of cardboard, covered with silk,
and joined to the ribbon rosette by narrow
ribbons. These pin-holders are particular-
ly effective when made in the different col-
lege colors.
A flowered muslin work apron requires
one yard and 2 guarer of material twenty-
seven inches e. The strip is folded in
hall, crosswise, and the two sides are slop-
ed off from the bottom up so the top, where
the piece is only twenty-two inches wide.
Two pieces thirteen and ove-ball inches
long and three wide are cut out of the front
or upper half of the apron, and she opening
thos made is hemmed and finished with a
narrow lace edge. The front and back are
then stitched together and the edge finish-
ed with lace to match the opening. The
top is put into a ribbon belt, the ends of
whish are enough to go around the waist
and tie.

ball by oue avd a ball inches, two pieces
measuring one and one balf by one

one and a-balf-inch ribbon, and three-

broidered linen, oretonne or flowered rib-
bon, and finish the edges with the cord.
Hem the largest card down in the ceuter
of the ribbon, using the latter as a lining,
and after joining the two small cards to-
getber at the sides, leaving the ends free,
slip the ends of ribbon through in opposite
directions.
A combivation pin-oashion and bat-pin-
holder—Get an empty talcumpowder box,
—a cardboard ove is best,—three glass test
tubes, a yard of narrow lace, a yard of rib-
bon and a piece of silk large enough to
cover the box and pincunshion on top.
After covering the box, make a round
cushion just the size of the top and pin it
in place with rounnd-headed white or gold
plas, Edge the top of the box with lace,

More than 12,000 pounds of oleomar-
garine shipped by the Narragansett
Dalry Co., of Narragansett, R. I, to the
Eastern Provision Co. in Philadel
phia, were confiscated at the freight
station here by United States internal
revenue agents. The revenue officers
say the oleo is artificially colored, but
was being handled as an uncolored
product, and as such the manufactur
ers paid a government tax of one
fourth cent a pound, as against a tax
of 10 cents necessary on colored oleo-
margarine.
