FARM NOTES.
—Kerosene is our standard remedy for
mits.
—When lice come into the ben house
profit goes out.
—Have yoarincubator stand level. Then
it will beas evenly. .
—For a spring tonic add a listle oil-meal
to the grain ration.
—Start in this spring with a pair of
ccales, tally sheets and a Baboock test.
—Every ewe should be pat in a place
by bers=if gutil she lamb is about eight
days old.
—Keep the temperature of the egg cham-
ber at 103° until the chicks begin to hateh,
then run up to 105°.
—Watery, impare milk comes from feed-
ing frozen fodder aud bay that is musty
sud improperly cared.
—About the first thing you bad bester
do when there is anythiog the matter with
your heos is to look for lice.
—It costs more to keep a poor hen than
it does a good one. More worry, more
vexation, more dissatisfaction.
—A young lamb will soon become ohill-
ed if it gets away from its dam, aed often
she will not own is when it is put back.
—Apply kerosene to the roots with a
oloth or swab every two weeks daring
warm weather to kill the red spider lice.
Respect the ben. She may cackle fool
ishly sometimes, bat she adds much to the
comfort aud prosperity of the farm home.
—Lambs fed grain before weaning will
be ready for market four weeks before
lambs receiving no grain before weaning.
—Change the straw in the pig pen often
in cold, wet weather. Anything bat a
wet, half-frozen bed to lie in, even for
—Keep the poultry house clean and
neat and your efforts will be amply re-
warded by the ege basket and kind words
from your friends.
—Remember that the cows are tender
from having been shut up in the barn so
long, and do your best to shield them from
the hard March winds.
—A Pennsylvania lady received $110 for
a single waluut iree which grew on her
farm. It was shipped to Germany, where
it will be used as veneering for furniture.
—If any of your hogs are getting erook-
ed legs you may be sure that they are in
too cramped quarters. Give them more |
room to walk around in, especially on the
ground.
—Test the eggs on the seventh day, and
remove the infertiles, also those containing
dead germs. Test again on the fourteenth
day and removeall hat those holding live |
chicks.
—When baying clover, alfalfa or grass
seed, ask for a guaranteed analysis and
test. If your dealer cannot or will not
furnish such a tess, his seed is not above
enspicion.
— Alter the chicks are three weeks old,
there is very listle danger of overfeeding.
Then, if other conditions are righs, the
more they eat of a variety of feed, the faster
they grow.
—To have finely-colored frais it is neces.
sary to have plenty of light. A dressing of
wood ashes, or potash, around the base of
the tree, will also help considerably to im-
prove the color.
—Next to pure air, water is the cheapest
thing w- can supply our poultry. Do vot
forget that it muss be given iv order to get
eges. Reduce the quantity and the egg
yield will go with is.
~The impression is growing that no ani-
mal intended for beef should be carried be-
yond the 2-year period of lile, or years
at most. The steer that cannot be finished
at these ages, or is not, cannot be relative-
ly profitable.
—A herd of goats will clear the under-
brash from a farm in a very short rime.
For the last five vears a herd of 40 goats in
the vicinity of Lawrenceville, Ind., bas
been eating and working on different
farms. In that time the animals have
changed owners ten times.
—Pigs are more apt to he “‘rooters’ in |
spring, when the ground is soft, than thay
are at any other time of the year. Much
of this can he prevented by feeding regu-
larly with coal, charcoal, ashes or other
mineral matter. Ringing the hogs should
be resorted to in extreme cases.
—A French naturalist asserts that if the
world shon!d become birdless man conld
pot inhabit it after nine years’ time, in
spite of all the sprays and poisons that
could be manufactured for the destruction
of insects. The insects and slugs would
simply eat all the orchards and crops in
thas time.
—The San Jose ecale is the insect that
should he sought out and fought at this
season of the year. It is a soft-bodied in-
sect protected by a waxy covering, which
can be penetrated only by very corrosive
chemicals. Owing to injury to foliage,
these chemicals must be used in winter, or
when the trees are dormant.
—For white diarrhoea in fowls she fol-
lowing is recommended: A teaspoonful of
castor oil, followed by five grains of rhu-
barb aod 10 grains of carbonate of soda, or
a grain of opium. During the attack and
for a little time after its abatement, the
bird should ke fed on soft food and bave no
vegetables. For young chicks ball
teaspoonful of olive oil is e to

DAILY THOUGHT.
The oversoul of Life, which men call God
The all in all unbounded Divine,
In the mind, the soul and the heart.
There are whispers in one of the French
dressmaking departments which more thao
once has off in a change of style that
Si Wis to be Sutsiautially wider and
daytime gowns, at least, lines
are to be longer. The plaited skirt is even
thought to be a candidate of no mean pre-
tensions for the coming season.
For evening wear there is every variety
of choice in she length of sleeve. Is way
be quite shurs, or it may reach hall-way
between shoulder and elbow, or be lovg
enough to completely cover the arm and a
shisd of the band. This last is seen in the
wonderful amethyst gown worn by one
charming womau.
Is closely outlives the aim and curves |
over she band, covering it almost to the |
knuckles. A fault to be guarded against
in all sleeves is tightuess which compresses |
the mascles. Not ouly is this compiesion |
diagreeable aud uncomfortable in iwell, |
bus it makes the hinds very red and hos,
on account of the swollen veins. No- |
body admires red hands, snd bot ones
are extremely disagreeable to the tooch.
The rule for length of sleeve should
depend ou she beauty or otherwise
of the arm. Is it necessary tv explain that
she short sleeve should be reserved for the |
white and well shaped: the loug for the |
bouy aud for the fas and red?
A growing ivclination to wear white is |
apparent. White was onoe regarded as |
the speoial privilege of youth. Now, with
a clearer knowledge of the values of color
and a better realization of the importance
of surroundings, we indulge our natural
tastes. Perhaps the influence of the period
under which our fashion is passing has
something to do with this, for the women
who amused themselves at Trianon used
white freely and without stint.
Be that as it may, white gowns, and
white generally, will be more worn this
coming season than ever. White cloth in
a variety of makes, satin charmense, the
cashmere and white serge, in an infioite
variety of qualities and thickness, will
come in for much attention from artists in
dress,
As to the lingerie gown, its importance
in the wardrobe cannot be questioned. It
is one of the most usefal things we have, |
and, whether worn ontside or indoors, per- |
mits so mueh individual taste and charm
is cuntrest that it is quite indispensa-
ble.
—
First, the collar. High or low, which
is it to be? Both! Either will be fashion-
ahle--it depends entirely npou the wearer.
The young girl or woman with a pretty
neck will undoubtedly favor the charming
Dateh collar. The new Dutch collars are
prettier than ever, whether of linen, hand-
embroidered or entirely of Irish crochet or
a combination of the two. Others are of fine
lawn, daintily trimmed with Valenciennes.
Lace motifs are used extensively to heau-
uly them. High linen or Irish crochet
sarn-over sollars are to be as much, if not
more, in vogue than last year. Hand em-
broidery plays a prominens part in their
beanty.
Rabats are to be very popular, noé only
with high collars, but with Datch collars
as well. They give such a chaimiog tone
and finish to a collar hecanse of their sim-
plicity. Ove of the newest rabats is mere-
ly a ““tarn-over”’ of fine linen, with hand-
embroidered ends: it is about five inches in
length and three inches wile (as wide at
the top as the hottom), which is to be
pioned to the collar witha wide bar pin;
this is rather unique and pretty. Irish
crochet is either inset or finishes the ends
of seven out of ten of the new rabats, It
not only moakes a pretty trimming, but
in 80 durable. The very simplest are mere-
ly plaited linen with hand-scalloped edges.
Of course, fluffy jabots are to be worn,
hut not as extensively as rabats, as the
latter are more practicable,
Io eagerness to get the Summer sewing
ous of the way, do not, suggests the New-
ark News," lose sight of the fact that the
shrinking of many wash materials before
they are made up often saves much work in
the end. Pique, galatea, coarse and beavy
linens and the various linen substitutes,
as well as any wash materials which bave
much dressing, should be shrauk before be-
ing ont.
One of the most satisfactory ways of
shrinking material for a dress is to leave it
folded as it eames from the shop, and soak
it over night in a tub of water. Then bang
it on the line, by one of the selvedge edges.
Care must he taken to stretoh it jost as
smoothly as possible. If the material has
eolors which are apt to run, the precaution
of using a salt water solution <honld, of
course, he taken.
When on the line see that it is not ex-
posed to the fuii rays of the sun, for this
may fade the material sadly.
When the material is shrunk and dried,
one’s work is not done, for the ironing
is quite as important. The goods
should he ironed on the wrong side, and
ironed perfectly smooth avd ectly dry.
Then it should not be bandled for an hour
or two.
1f braid, tape or embroidery is to be need
as trimming, it is well to take the precan-
tion of shrinking is, else after the garment
is lanodered there will
“‘puckerings’’ here and there.
It the wash material is one of the softer
weaves—such as cotton voile, basiste,
ie or handkerchief linen —it is never
to shrink the goods before sewing. If
these materials are shrook, it is quite im-
possible to cut out a germent satisfactorily
20d ghe sewing process is rendered most
trying.
While shrinking fabrics takes time and
care, it saves the letting out of seams and
lengthening of skirts after the dress is
lanndered.

Go to church and hear the pastor, in

the man who lied. It was Colonel
Ananias, who in days long dead and
gone, shocked his neighbors (who were
pious) when he put the truth in pawn

The Glory of New York.
What other city is there of like size
which matches New York in position:
It is a seaside city; the salt water
laves its feet. As the traveler ap
proaches it he thinks of Venice rising
from the sea or is perhaps reminded of
ancient Tyre. which “stood out in the
sea as a hand from a wrist” and of
which the houses were impressively
tall. “Impressive” is not too indulgent
a word for the skyscrapers of New
York—clean faced. simple, original and
audacious, they are characteristic of
the land and of the people. They are
not ugly concessions to utility. but a
rather grand adaptation of architec.
ture to circumstances. The ancients,
harassed with dread of piracy. would
not have dared to build a city like New
York on the edge of a great harbor }-
open to the sea. It is something which
the modern world alone could have
given us.—London Spectator.
Work of a Burmese Bud.
Instead of a coming out party as we
know it, the Burmese girl's entrance
into society begins when she has her
ears pierced. As soon after this as she
feels inclined she selects a husband
and goes to live in a home of her own.
The home is provided by the man, but
it becomes his wife's as soon as they
are married. All women, young and
old, are addicted to the use of tobacco.
The women seem to prefer the very
large size black cigar. Often one meets
a woman on the streets of a village
with one of these huge cigars in her
mouth and two or three more stuck in
the holes of each ear.
Deceitful.

A Fountain of Ants.
was a bungalow, and, as is the case
with many bungalows, the inner walls
were constructed of merely sun dried
bricks, and in the recesses of one wall
a colony of white ants had established
a nest. It was evening. [I heard be
hind me a buzzing sound. I turned.
and from a hole near the bottom of the
wall I beheld a fountain of youn:
white ants ascending. They reached
the ceiling, and then the descent com-
menced. They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off their
wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the
plates, the glasses, even the lamp
shades, were covered with the little
white, feeble, crawling creatures. The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. When, next
morning, the floor was swept the wings

large basket. What became of the ants
themselves I cannot say.—“Haunts and

HOW TO “FIND-OUT COFFEE.
COFFEE, you know, is a flavor. Many people think of Coffee as
a food, a drink, a Stimulant or a berry. is all of these and then
some. But, 95 people out of every hundred drink Coffee merely be-
cause they like it. And they like it because a particular flavor of it
them.
who “don’t like Coffee” have never yet found the particular
flavor of Coffee which would have pleased them. They can find it yet.
When they do find 1t they won't quit drinking it, and they shouldn't
quit. But, to *find-out’’ really good Coffee. And how to find
out the precise kind of Coffee flavor which best pleases your palate.
For the first time in history you may now buy a “Find-out Package’
of Bakerized Coffee. This Find out Package contains the three fla-
vors of highest grade Coffee. Observe that the three distinct flavors
in the “Find-out Package’’ of Bakerized Coffee are not merely three
kinds of Coffee, but three fixed and unvarying flavors of’ Coffee.
When therefore you buy a “Find-out Package’ of Bakerized Coffee,
and find from this just which Coffee flavor best pleases your palate, you
can then feel sure of getting that same identical flavor year after year,
under its given brand. This package will contain over three-quarters
of a pound of the best Coffee you have ever tasted. That Coffee will
be put up in three separate boxes. One of these three boxes will con-
tain “VIGORO"’ Bakerized Coffee. This is a robust fuming aroma-
tic stimulating Coffee—full of uplift, spicy odor and generous flavor.
It is a vigorous, ‘‘black’’ Southern Coffee which ‘touches the spot’
and “‘puts you up on horseback.”
Another box will contain ‘BARRINGTON HALL" Bakerized Cof-
fee. This is deliciously smooth and fragrant, mellow, fine and satis-
fying, with a delightful, lingering after-taste. It is more nearly the
standard flavor of right-good Coffee than any other we know of.
A third box contains SIESTA" pakerized Coffee. This is of mild
and dainty flavor, full of subtle delicacy and bouquet.
Buy a “‘Find-out Package'’ of Bakerized Coffee and treat your pal-
ate to a new sensation.
