CLOTHES PUT ON ICE.
Cold Storage Proven it lletter Preven

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.

SUMMER PALM LEAVES.
A palm leaf fan in summer is a veritable March wind in dog days. No other fan ap
proaches it in breeziness.
Appreciating this the knowing ones have transferred the palm leaf fan into a thing

To trim « palm leaf fan you purchase a quantity of tiny roses or forget-me-note. It

of the fan. You then attach baby ribbons to the flowers. Fasten the ribbons in a

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

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

In using this strong material it is best
not to combine it with light-weight

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.

GEESE FOR MARKET.

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

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

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.

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

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.
