FARM NOTES. — Keep the oollare clean and dry. —A happy hen will make a happy mas- ter. —Do not leave the cows out in the cold May rains. * _Do not leave them out for more than hall a day at first. —Do not overfeed the growing chicks, or they may become stunted. —Don’t allow the toes to grow too long. Long toes will canse ringhones. — Never trust a boar no matter how kind be appears. Always keep behind him. —Don’t wait until young poultry begio to droop and die before looking for lice. —1Jt is best to have two pastures for sheep, and to change from one to the other weekly. . —The changes in feed should be brought about gradually and with as much care as possible. —Always give a good feediog of hay be- fore the cows are turned to pasture the frst time in the spring. —Pat io lots of sweet corn. It is an at- traction on the home table and a money maker in the dairy. —Do not use grease or blacking on the hoofs to close the pores, and prevent the entrance of moisture, —1It is a waste of time and power—hen- power—to try to hatob eggs that bave real- ly been chilled by she hen leaving the nest —When you have set all the eggs youn care to lor the season, send the roosters to markets. Their room is better than their company. —If the nest is too flat, the eggs are sure to roll ons from under the hen; and if too deep, the eggs will pile on top of each other and get broken. —The faithful hen will stay with ber eggs until fairly eaten alive with mites. Do take time to give sitters attention; keep lice down, if something else must be ne- glected. —When a bard shower comes up the fool- ish young ducklings peed attention. I have known them to stand out in the rain with heads up and mouths open until they drowned. ’ —A mixture of equal parts of kanit and nitrate of soda will wake the cabbage grow wonderfully, aud some say if sprinkled on the plants while wet with dew will keep away iusects. —Hens have a way of settling disputes over a nest that often results in scrambled eggs. The hep that is given a setting of choice eggs should be ses where there will be no trouble with other hens. —Make the change from dry feed to pastare carefully, allowing the sheep in ture only a few hours at first. Give a all feeding of bay, eto., in the barn for several days before turning out. —-It is better never to les horses ran on both sides of a wire fence, especially if there is a barb wire at the top. They are very apt to fight through or over it and are pretty sure to get bart. —When my fowls get the egg-eating habit, I find a dose of oyster shells to be tha “‘eggs-act’’ remedy, Give them enough the first time to cause them to gorge them- selves. This has cured some bad cases. —1I¢ «i time to prepare for soiling crops agaivst the days of summer drought that are sure to come. It is only by a succession of such crops that the efficiency of the dairy oan be maiutained in the trying August ays. —Watering often is far better than wait- ing till a horse is almost choked and then letting him have all he can drink. Many horses are spoiled by the latter method, while no one ever hurt a horse by frequent watering. —1It is a good plan never to dose a healthy borse. All he needs is good care and good feed. The good care inclades, of course, regular exercise. It is just as bad for a horse to be all the time taking medicine as it is for a man. —In case your calves show signs of hav- ing scours, give them a teaspoonful of fine charcoal with the milk for a few days. When the trouble disappears, begin feeding bay and you will not have any more diffioulty with the scours. —Did yon ever watch a hen just alter you bad put some nice clean straw in the nest hoxes ?* Hear her talk aboot it when she olimbs in to lay her egg. She knows the difference and is happier than when the gtraw was dirty aod had lice in it.—From May Farm Journal. —Set a post in your bog lot and every hog will rubagainst it. This gives the cue for a cheap and effective louse killer. Wrap she post tightly from the ground up with quarter inch rope, and saturate the rope with kerosene every few days. Kerosene will kill lice, and the bogs will keep on soratching againes this post. —In co-operation with the County Fair Association, over 50 bushels of pure seed corn was distributed free by the University of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment sta. tion to the young people who grev small ots and exhibited their produos at local irs. This work has been introduced into 26 counties, and has proved of immense value in interesting yonng people in agri- oaltural matters. ~—In view of the recent decision of the Board of Food and Drag inspection of the United States Department of Agrioniture relative to the use of benzoate of soda in food products, the meat inspection regula: tions of the Bureau of Animal Industry have been amended 80 as to permit the ad- dition of this preservative to meats and meas food products, provided they bear ap- proved labels plainly showing the presence and amount of benzoate of soda. —Cultivation of the orchard is mainly for conserving soil moisture. I! caultiva- tion is begun early in the seaton and eon- tinoed till mideammer, growth of wood will be stimulated and fruit developed. Less moisture in late summer and early fail is desired, so that wood will properly develop and harden to be able to stand the cold of the following winter. Arrange to cultivate the orobard early in the summer and have the soil in good fix for sowing to rye or other cover crop toward the last of summer, The cover crop will afford some good winter pasture and will keep hilly land from washing away. FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN. DAILY THOUGHT. Give to agracious message a thousand (ongues; but let ill tidings tell themselves. —Shakespears, Is is but lately that the fashionable cou’ tarieres and designers have arrived at any eoisions d y Changes have come gradually and not so violently as was ex . The crinoline and the very voluminous skirt are no nearer than they were two years ago. Neither have we returned to boleros and Woy hal. e real elegante of Paris is practically wearing the improved Directoire. The waistline is for the most part defined at the level imposed by nature. Hats are of hoth large and moderate dimensions, Empire modes are still in favor for those who like them. Great quantities of sontache braiding is being used on the pew lingerie frocks this season. It looks particularly well on linen, but is also used on frocks of sheer mater- It i= also done on net, and when this is employed as a trimanng both pet and braiding are in the same tone as the ma- terial. Panels, yokes and sleeves are of seatach- ed net;as times almost the eotire surface of the frock is elaborately braded with it. Smart linen frocks of light blue and pink, made perfectly plain, have transparent yokes and sleeves covered with a rich de- sign in soutache. From the indications the popularity of the collarless frock is going to be, if any- thing, greater than last season. Now, as during the winter, the large majority of theatre and honse gowns are void of stock or collar. Lace yokes that round prettily at the throat are the smart and becoming thing, and some theatre frooks are even a little decollete. The Dutch neck is preferred on tub frocks, and it iscool and comfurtable in gnmmer. It is a question whether the col- larless hionse is correst for street wear, bat this must be settled by the individual, for women are dressing to suit their own ideas, in spite of the fashion. Puritan collars of Irish lace are exceed- ingly pretty and most popular with young girls. They are not quite as expensive as they were earlier in the season and last summer, and are now well within reach of the average purse. A charming game for a child for a rainy day, and one in which they are incidental- ly tanght to knit, may be planned as fol- lows: If yon possess a yarn bag get it out and sie sogethea all the odds and ends of brightly colored yarn, using up all of your soraps and as much as yon will need to make a good sized yarn ball. The more warmth and variety there is in the colors the better. Make the knots firm, bat as small as possible. Start to wind, winding into the halls little toys and surprises that the child would be likely to enjoy, a tiny ball, a candy heart, a bit of china doll for a girl, a marble for a boy, anything that may occur toyou or that you have at band. When you have made up a large and tempting sphere leave the end loose. Cast on the stitches for two needle knit. ting and teach the expeotant small person to knit. He or she, will soon become in- terested in the knitting, with the added delight of waiting for the ‘‘surprises to fall out. Yon will find that the little de- vice will give the greatest pleasure, and keep the child entertained hy the hoor. With the pretty gathered skirts, open over a tablier, and pointed bodices, women bave taken up the fad of patches and tall walking sticks, tasseled or tied witha floating ribbon how. Parasols, too, have extremely long sticks of precious woods banded with gold and finished with knobs of flashing color in semiprecions stones. A new parasol of bright green is trimmed with raised, batton-shaped motifs of kbaki- colored soutache braid set in a wide hor- der. The carved handle and the whole stick, banded with goid, are covered with hrown plush. On a hot summer's day can anything more disagreeable to the tonch be imagined than this plush covering? Pleasanter to describe is a parasol of white silk bordered deeply with narrow, scant raffles of the silk raveled into an inch deep fringe. A thick plaiting of fine white tulle is set under the edge. Stick and handle are of shining black ebony, set with a great pink stone. What we enjoy most in sooiety is not the food nor the surroundings, but the people! A hostess must always bear this in mind. She must remember also to be gracions and cordial in her greeting, to make her guests feel that each and all are welcome, She will try to have something pleasant to offer them, something new and unusoal or familiar and therefore beloved. Let her beware, however, of long programs. To these days of rapid movement, people sel- dom like to be detained long. While the present mania for cards endures, a hostess is pretty sure of pleasing ber gnests if she gives a bridge or progressive euchre party, which may be a very informal affair. Peo ple who are addicted to cards hecome eo deeply interested in their favorite game that the enpper is a matter of secondary importance, and may, therefore, be very simple. Inexpensive prizes are vow thought to he in better taste than costly ones. They shonld charm by their oddity and daintiness rather than by their finan- cial value. Thin buttered slices of brown bread, spread with strawberry jam or peach mar- malade and covered with a layer of cream cheese, make novel and delicious sand- wiches for luncheon or tea. An easily improvised desert may be made of ten stale macaroons mixed with stiffly whipped cream and sprinkled with pistachio nuts. For spring suppers sliced oranges and shredded cocoanns, put into a dish in al. ternate layers, are very appetizing. A delicions jelly is made of gelatin, fla- vored with grape juice and served with blanched nuts and whipped oream. Shredded chocolate cocoanut, which is hought already prepared, makes a tasty addition to different kinds of salad. Cheese Balls.—Mix well together 1} cups of grated cheese, 1} teaspoontals of flour, a pinch of red pepper, avd the well-beaten whites of three egee. Make into small balls and fry a light brown.
