is said of the daughters of Queen Vic
toria that each one of them was taught,
not only to sew well, but to mend and
darn with great neatness, and to make
over those gowns which were counted
worth it. The girl whose wardrobe is
not large makes her first mistake in
buying cheap material of a color that
is the fancy of the moment. Instead,
when only one new gown may be had
during the season, it should be of a
fabric that will stand wear, that will
endure making over, and of a color of
which neither the wearer nor the
looker-on will soon grow weary. It is
an extravagance to have a gown made
in the extreme of the fashion, for the
extreme soon goes out, and then you
have a failure on your lianns.♦

CARE OF YOUNG PIGS.
For Tlicir Own Good the Youiiur AnU
IUAIM Should Ue Wemieil as
Soon (IK Ever I'OMMIIIIC.
Pigs should be taught to eat as soon
as possible, not only for their own good
but for the good of their dams, said T.
Allen, in a paper read before the Kan
sas Breeders' association. A good way
to accomplish this is to place a small
trough near their dam's quarters where
larger pigs cannot have access to it. Put
a little sweet milk in this trough once or
twice a day, also wash the trough once
a day to prevent it from becoming sour
and stale, and as soon as the pigs learn
to di ink the milk freely a little oil or oat
meal, -eans or shorts may be mixed with
the milk. If this manner of treatment is
pursued with the pigs it not only proves
to be of great benefit to both the pigs
and their dam during the first eight or
ten weeks of the pigs' life, but they
can be weaned much sooner and at
the same time do much better than if
otherwise treated. Allow, or rather en
courage the dam to take plenty of ex
ercise with her pigs; if she does not
have the disposition to take the need
ed exercise provide two feeding places
a proper distance apart. This will
teach the pigs to follow their dam, and
in a short time she will give them all
the exercise needed, which will not
only help to develop bone and muscle
in the pigs, but prevent their becoming
too fat and having the thumps, which
is often the case if the dam is well fed
and a good suckler.
Do not ring brood sows or t.heir pigs;
if they do too much rooting it is evi
dent nature is in need of something
in the line of food that ha.s not been
supplied; it is much better to supply
this need than to ring the hog. Discard
the swill barrel commonly used for
kitchen slops and use buckets instead,
carrying them away and feeding the
contents before it becomes stale or
rancid; rinse the bucket with pure wa
ter and allow it to air while not in use.
Metallic buckets are best, but tobacco
or candy buckets will answer a good
purpose.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.
To heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son, we owe most of the
feasibilities of growth and development.
112 each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
of life miffllt be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature, excentrictties of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc., are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. A curiotis example of this de-
Scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga., in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Cray hair is hereditary in our family.
As long as I can recollect,my mother's hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs of turning.
I resolved to try Ayer's Hair Vigor, and
after using it only a few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. I still
use this dressing occasionally, a bottle
lasting me quite a while; and though over
forty years of age, my hair retains its
youthful color and fullness. To all who
nave faded and gray hair, I would heartily
recommend Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor."—Mrs.
