FARM NOTES.
—The wool crop is one of the surest
on the farm.
—The best wool is on the back, the
poorest on the belly.
—Quality, quantity and density are im-
portant factors in the fleece.
—Evenness of wool depends upon even-
ness of condition of the sheep.
—Wean the lambs when they are three
and a half to four months old.
—Usually in long wooled sheep size is
easier maintained than quality.
—By the time a sheep is one year old
its value can generally be determined.
—A good fleece should be as nearly
uniform in all its parts as is practicable.
—The urine of sheep is equal to the |
solid excrement as a fertilizing material.
—When too dry wool is harsh to the
feel and brittle and loses its natural soft-
nes and curl.
—Early maturity is advantageous to
the breeder and feeder of sheep as any
other stockman.
—One advantage with sheep is that
they need the care where there is plenty |
of time to give it.
—A healthy, growthy condition of the’
system is shown by the bright oily condi- |
tion of the fleece.
—At weaning time the best opportun-
ity is given for determining the value of
the breeding ewes.
—With a breeding fleck a certain num-
ber of young sheep must be kept to take |
the place of the older ones. i
—Yolk in the wool has no value except |
to soften it and preserve the fibre and!
an excess is a fault not a value.
~The profits from a flock of sheep, de-
pends more upon the quality and quanti-
ty of the food than upon the breed.
—While there is a great advantage in
feeding blooded stock and profits of the,
flock A a Segway as much on the care
as on the bl
Set, ielding as they do a return
from bot Rees and flesh, bring in cash
twice a year and at a time when it comes
very acceptable to the farmer.
—Feed has more todo with the early
breeding tendency than breed. Ewes
gaining in flesh take the ram at any time
of the year when not suckling lambs.
—Cement floors are best for feeding
purposes, but it is our belief that a
should always sleep on a board floor Sex
plenty of clean ing.
—While sheep will get more susten-
ance from poor land and at the same
time do the land more good than any
other stock it must not be forgotten that
they will also repay liberal feeding.
—The ram should have a good form
and a good fleece even if he is not as
large as one might wish. In other words
a small ram of good form and fleece is
better than a large one without these
characteristics.
—The sheep business should not be
in for a short period and then
abandoned for some other speculative
business, but with a desire and deter-
mination to succeed through the exer-
cise of patience, perseverance and skill.
—A flock of sheep that is given the
same attention that is best on other
stock, and kept as a business venture,
will pay a larger profit for capital invest-
ed than any other class of stock, but
sheep pay best when bred for mutton as
well as wool.
—All atte do pol Hake a profit :
keeping s some fail to get a profit
Ei ii they have an idea that sheep
will take care of themselves and so give
them little attention, others because they
undertake to handle too large a number,
and others because in one way or the
other, they get hold of the business by
the wrong end.

~Bryant
The gloom of wet autumn days will be
dispelled by the sight of rain beating down
on umbrellas in all the colors of the rain-
bow.
At the premises of a leading West End
firm, it was stated recently that the fash-
ionable woman is now expected to carry
an umbrella which, if it does not actually
match her costume, at any rate har-
monizes with its color scheme.
“The umbrella now plays as important
a part in the autumn toilette as does the
parasol in summer,” it was explained,
“which means that from being merely
useful it has become ornamental as well.
“The great advantage of this innovation
is that it saves the smart woman from
ever getting caught inthe rain, for what-
ever costume she is wearing she will carry
an appropriate umbrella with it.
bi black silk umbrella is, of course,
always useful, and will not go out of
fashion, but it certainly does not give
finish to a toilette, and that is why it is
so frequently forgotten or deliberately left
at home.
“The colored umbrella is made of
strong, durable silk, and may be had in
every shade. A very effective scheme is
colored buttons or a narrow piping on a
somber costume.”
One of the most notable features of the |
own today is the huge single revers. |
makers seem never to be wearied of
this particular scheme, and the majority |
of the new frocks for the coming season :
show it in some form or another. Even
with the dresses of cloth or serge the |
revers is more often than not carried out |
| in chiffon or ninon, hemstitched all round |
the edge, two layers of the ninon in dif- |
ferent shades bringing a very smart and |
| attractive note into the gown.
Very short tunics are shown on many |
i of the new dresses. The effect is of a
double skirt, which is coming decidedly
into favor.
Flat ruches of pleated tulle in black |
and white are placed on the crowns of
' many velvet oval-shaped hats.
Cluny and the heavy macrame laces are
in great favor and may be said to prac-
tically lead the new lace vogue. !
Men's fall and winter fashions contem-
plate padded shoulders, narrow trousers
and a general slender effect insofar as it
can be accomplished.
The favorite hour for a formal dinner is
either half-past seven or eight o'clock. |
Less formal dinners are usually served at |
seven o'clock. te question of the hour |
should depend upon the customs of the |
town in which one lives, upon the con- |
venience of the guests or possibly
upon
, the hours of the trains, if one lives out of
, town.

— i
Chic Kerchiefs. — Very small hand-
kerchiefs of colored silk with a hem-
stitched border are sold to wear in the
breast focket of one’s rough morning
coat. e color scheme of the costume
can be carried out by this small touch in |
a most effective manner, and the idea has
been taken up by the Americans who are
now in Paris.
Separate guimpes made of all the new
laces as well as plain white Alencon tulle
and dotted with net are sold for small
prices to wear with gowns that are cut
out at the neck, for the Frenchwoman
does not approve of going in the street
without her neck covered. These guimpes
have long bones that run down each
shouider and the back to a point where
they are covered by the frock. They are
cut with an armhole, across the lower
rt of which is an elastic band which
olds the material in position.

shopping occasions and general work,

autumn tans will be the glove she will
adopt.
For the afternoons, however, and the
evening, she will divide her choice—for
the soft, velvet-like suedes will be almost
as fashionable as the smooth-finished and
fi French kidskins. Plain white, of
course, will be very greatly worn, but
pale tans—biscuit, champagne, delicate
mode, pearl gray and the creamy yellows
will also come in for a due share of at-
tention.
The woman who wore her coat mod-
erately short last winter will be thankful
that was not persuaded to have it
cut very short about the hips, for in that large lines at any
case she would be utterly passe this sea-
son. !
The newest coats may be more than 30
inches long, perhaps 32 inches in length, |
while some of them are cut only 28 inch-
es long; if shorter than that, they are de- |
cidedly out of fashion. t
There is but one way to remedy the!
short hip-length coat to bring it up to
this year's standard, and that is to add a
of very wide silk braid around the

E
The Vitality of Seeds.
While many seeds possess extraordinary
vitality, stories of the length of time cer-
tain of them have preserved that vitality
must in many cases be doubted. The
tale of "mummy wheat” sprouting after
having lain dormant in Egyptian tombs
for thousands of years is an improbable
one. No well-authenticated instances of
such finds are extant. :
The length of time seeds will preserve
their vitality differs astonishingly in dif-
ferent plants. The seeds of the willow,
for instance, will not germinate after
having been once dry, and their ger-
minating power is lost in two weeks even
if during that interval they have been
kept fresh. The seeds of coffee do not
germinate after havi
considerable length o
wheat lose their power and
a lapse of seven years, though wheat two
centuries old has been quite capable of
being used for food. :
Plants frequently appear in old ground
that has been trenched and in places
where they have never previously been
seen; and to this may be added the pe-
culiar fact that when fires have passed
over localities, apparently destroying all
been kept for any |
time. Grains of
h after
line of such fires. Officials of the For- |
estry Bureau state that when an Ameri-
can forest has suffered the ravages of
fire the trees that take the places of the
burned ones are often of a different spe-
cies from those hithertc seen in that
n
made.
: undeniable circumstances have
given rise to the theory that seeds may
lie for long periods dormant and come
to life only when some strong stimulus
