CLOTHES PUT ON ICE. Cold Storage Proven it lletter Preven tive of Moth* Than Tar Paper or Moth Hall*. Clothes are put on ice now during the summer months. Men's garments and women's alike. It is not meant, of course, that suits and dresses are lit erally laid upon blocks of ice, there to congeal rapidly, but that clothes are actually placed in the coldest of storage In the heated term. Tar paper is a remedy of long stand ing, as it> camphor, but it is said that the new plan of the cold storage ware house is better than either of these. In the first place, the clothes are not packed away tightly,but they are hung on hooks in the storage rooms set apart for that purpose, and they keep their shape much better. Then no odor clings to theim when they are taken home in the fall. You can hire a room for clothes, or a single hook in a room in a progressive cold storage warehouse to-day as you please. This is a more expensive method of preserving winter clothes through ,the summer than the old-fashioned ways, yet it is not so costly. An odd feature of the cold storuge of clothes is that, boots are now being received, and It seems to be a popular thing to put them on ice, too. —Chicago Tribune. HANDKERCHIEF CASE.

A very comfortable dress for a little girl is a sailor suit in tan ehambray, made with blouse and plain skirt. The skirt is bordered with a band of lighter weight ehambray which comes in stripes or figures. A yoke of plain white chainbray stitched with white or black can be worn with this dress, and lapels, belt and cuffs of the fancy cham bray can be used for trimming. In using this strong material it is best not to combine it with light-weight goods which will wear out long before the chainbray loses first newness. MiirrliiKe by the Glove. In Holland, says a Scotch paper, mar riage by proxy is allowed. This is the so-called "marriage by the glove," and is usually putin practice by a Dutchman who is sojourning abroad, and wanting a wife, is too poor or too far off to re turn home for one. In s>uch a case he writes home to a lawyer, who selects one conformable to the requirements of his client. If the gentleman approves, he next sends the lawyer a soiled left hand glove and a power of attorney, which settles the business. A friend marries the woman by proxy, and sha is thereafter promptly shipped off to her new home. A I.ocul \urtlt I'ole.

GEESE FOR MARKET. A Hrnneta of tlie Poultry Itunlneaa W hieli l'o*Ne«aeN n Number of Speelnl Advn ntiiKen. If there is abundant pasturage little other food ia required, as a goose de pends largely upon grass for susten ance during the summer months. Dur ing winter there should be some in closure or protection provided, and the geese should be fed twice a day. Shredded hay or silage is suituble, giving corn at least once a day or so. If geese are fed too much grain it will induce laying too early in the sea ion and the eggs will probably not be fertile, (ieese seek mates in February. Among the many varieties we think the Embden, African and Toulouse are roost profitable. A good cross is ob tained by mating an African gandei with Embden gees*. The cross secures better layers and the color of the llesh is improved. The "preen goose," a? the goose is styled when about four months old, is in demand in the mar kets if fattened nicely. Sometimes young geese are sent to market at twe months old, if of good size and well fattened. To fatten they should be GRAY AFRICAN GEESE. placed out of sight and hearing of their mates, or they will be restless end will consequently not take on fat to easily. Plenty of grass and water must be given daily, in addition to grain or scalded meal. Cooked tur nips may be fed also, as they relish this vegetable. Young goslings should not be al lowed to get chilled, but must be cared for much the same as ducklings until strong enough to follow the mother goose. While the poose must have plenty of drinking water and a bath now and then is beneficial, it is not es sential that ponds should be prepared for them, nor that they should dabble in water at all times. If running water is a natural feature of the farm and the geese have access to it at all times, then it will be necessary to pen the goslings and the mothers for a few weeks until the down is well out on 1 goslings. There is no prettier sight, at least among the feathered tribe, than a family of goslings, which are seemingly golden balls of iluffv down, sailing serenely by the side of their mother. Corn meal, slightly salted, should be fed to goslings; also table scraps are much liked. One pound of feathers is nearly the average obtained from six geese when picked for their feathers. When killed three geese will furnish one pound of feathers. The African or Toulouse will lay from 20 to 25 eggs. The first laying should be set under hens and the goose allowed to sit on the last laying or clutch, as it is called. As a rule each goose should average 20 goslings in a year, and as the average weight will be about ten pounds each when well fat tened for market, it will be seen that with a good breed to start with, g-ood care, etc., raising geese for market will prove as paying as other branches of poultry raising. Those who intend shipping should send to dealers in poultry for modes of preparing for market, since modes differ in different sections.—A. C. Mcl'herson, in Farm und Home. ALL AROUND THE FARM. The best crop raised on the farm are the boys and girls. When they ma ture grandly they are worth millions a pound. It is idle for a slovenly farmer to at tempt to tell how a farm should be conducted. His neighbors know him and his style of farming. It was noticeable that during the continuous heavy rains in Ju e, the only bad results to corn on tiled land was the growth of weeds. It was recently said to us by a farm er that corn of one variety would ma ture at the same time, even if planted ten days apart. Can that be true? Grow plenty of what you like for the table. A farmer friend of ours says that when he was a boy he could never get as many radishes as he wanted. Now he grows them to a point of waste. —Western l'lowmnn. 'l'll IN IN Worth < oiiMldcrlii|f. Experiments recently made at the Michigan Experimental station show tliat about four times as much feed is obtained from a meadow allowed to mature hay as from a field pastured. In soiling, the difference would probably not be so great, owing to the fact that the grass, or peas, or alfalfa, or what ever is grown for the purpose, is cut before it fully matures, but even then from two to three times the number of animals can be supported by soiling as ou pasture.—Prairie Farmer. THE HORSE'S FOOT. If It Is .Not Kept In nn Kxeellent Con dition the Animul Will Soon lie I'raet leu II) I'ltelenn. In a horse a strong foot has the fibers of the hoof very distinct, so much so that they resemble in appear ance those of easily split timber. But a hoof of this kind, if not kept moist and pliable, soon becomes almost as hard as iron and is liable to render the foot lame and tender, without reveal ing- the cause of the lameness. When it is hurt and locally inflamed, trouble some eruptions around the coronet are liable to appear. A "thin hoof" is one which has a thin wall. It may be perfectly shaped in every way, but is peculiarly liable to get cut of order either from attach ing- the shoe, traveling on hard ground or during excessive drought in sum mer or of moisture in winter. In near ly all cases the bottom of a thin hooi is ragged, and when the shoe is re moved the whole verge is seen to be thin. A narrow-heeled foot is. in some cases, reasonab'y good, but in others is inclined to various bad conditions, anil when tampered with, as is so often done by blacksmiths in shoeing-, is al most certain to become hoofbound. A hoof of disproportionately large size is in most cases accompanied by a slenderness and comparative weak ness of limb and is a good indication of inability for brisk or vigorous ac tion. A horse with a high-heeled foot is subject to unsteadiness of action and is liable to stumble and to sprains in the coffin or pastern joints, while a low-lieeled hoof renders the animal a bad traveler. A flat foot, shaped like an oyster, usually has many rings or wrinkles, and usually requires a hollow-shaped shoe. In many cases for want of a sufficiently strong wall, much diffi culty is occasioned in shoeing in secur ing proper fastening for the shoe, and often renders t-.ie animal unfit for fast work or work on hard, stony roads. When a hoof is smooth and tough, of a medium size, neither too hard and brittle nor too soft, without wrinkler, with the heel firm and In no way rotten or spongy, with the frog- horny and dry, with the sole somewhat hollow, like the inside of a dish, let the color be what it may — such a foot will marly always turn out pood, although good judges object to too many white feet, preferring dark or black hoofs.—St. Louis Republic. KEEP FENCES TIGHT. A Goo;! I'art of the Injury to Stock from llurliN IM DIM* Almoftt A I toKct licr to IVi'tcleot. One of the most common causes of breachy animals on the farm is poor fences, and we may go further and say that a good part of the injury to stock from barbed wire fences, is due to a poor condition of the fence. The wires get loose and sag down, and stock get tangled up in them and in jure themselves much worse than they would if the fences were kept up prop erly. Low tumble down fences are a constant temptation to stock to break over, and once they get started it will be much more difficult to re strain. The safest plan in all cases is to keep the fences in ji good condition, especially those around the pastures. If the stock ar* to be changed con stantly from p»ie pasture or field to another, piv.vi'ie good gates, as lay ing the fe«ees part way down and compelling the animals to jump over what is :*£t up. is g-ivitig them the first lessons in jumping or becoming breachy. If an animal seems inclined to be breachy, g-et rid of it as soon as possible, as one mischievous or breachy animal on the farm will soon teach the greater part of the others to be like them. With wire fences properly built, care being taken to have strong corner posts well braced, it is not much work to keep them in good eon-: dition. But no matter what kind of fences there may be on the farm it is good plan togo over them every few weeks and see that they are kept in good repair.—Prairie Farmer. HANDY CONTRIVANCE.

Clover ('nuNen Slolilierliiur. There is in all clovers more or less of a principle that tends to cause slob bering in horses. It is now believed, that this principle is more largely found ia the seeds than in other parts of the plants. It is not probable that there will be any difficulty iu using the hay if the crimson clover is cut before the seed is fully formed. Since crim son clover seeds abundantly at the first blossoming, it is more likely to give trouble than the ordinary red clover, which seeds very little or not at all at tlie first blooming.—Troy (N. Y.) Times. READY TO TAKE HIS GALL. The Sarprlnlnic Offer of n llankrupt'i SouIIeKH Creditor at an Ab • iKnmenl Meeting. Not long ago a substantial looking New Yorker came to Chicago to engage in the re tail cigar business, lie had seemingly good credentials and rented an attractive little store on the North side, buying his fixtures on credit. On the tame terms he laid in quite a large stock of goods and opened his doors for patronage. He seetned to be doing quite a good business and none of his numerous creditors manifested the least alarm as to the safety of their accounts. Suddenly he made an assignment. His creditors were notified and a full meeting was held in the office of his attorney, the sorrowful bank rupt not being present with them. The attorney made a politic and pacific speech. An eastern creditor, who had se cured judgment on a fraudulent claim, had attached and carried away everything ex cept 270 cigars and $0.30 in money. The un fortunate debtor owed over $15,000 to the men present, which he would liquidate at the earliest possible moment. "My client suffers far more acutely than any of you," continued the lawyer. "He has surrendered all that he possesses. It is not much, it is true, but I trust it will serve as an earnest of bis future intentions. He is crushed by his misfortune and would willingly divide his body among you." "What's that?" asked a somewhat deaf old man, supplementing his right ear with his broad palm. "My client is willing to divide his very body among you," repeated the attorney. "All right,'' responded the old man, "I'll take his gall!" Chicago Chronicle. A I,ll>ernl Supply Xcrdfil.
