DAINTY DRESS CLOSETS. pe rfnnied I*note*t Kink of \ Fnnliiouahle Womnnbood. ' Ferfumed pads for trunk tray? and compartments of the dresser have proved so satisfactory in imparting that delicate scent which women love that one woman has carried out the Fcheme still further. She had been in ■the habit of hanging 1 sachets of her favorite powder in her clothes closet, but it did not seem to be as satisfac tory as the pads in the bureau, fche experimented by hanging sheets eround the wall and using a liquid (cent, but that evaporated. Finally the took out the pads from, her trunk end hung them on the hocks in the j dress closet. Then she thought: "Why ; not pad the closet?" Xo sooner thought of than done. fTrr best dress closet is now uphol stered over all the walls and ceiling. Fhe did it herself. The backing of the jiads is chees'ecloth. Then there is a thick layer of cotton batting thickly ftrewn with her favorite violet sachet powder, and covering the whole is a delicate shade of violet China silk. Be fore fastening this lining to the walls of the closet it was tied in "comfort" style with dainty baby ribbon, tied in bow knots. The pads are bound all around the edge with violet satin ribbon, having loopsi at the upper edge to hang the pad's to the wardrobe hooks. These bindings are not "sewed to stay" at the top, but may be easily ripped loose in order to renew the powder at any time. Pads on the ceiling and above the hooks are fastened with brass-headed tacks hidden under the ribbon bows. This luxurious closet may be imi tated in cheaper npholsiterv and be quite as dainty.

French Knnliion Tlial I* Xow Ilriiif; Imitated liy American Hotel Men and Caterer**. The picturesque little dishes here il lustrated are French stewpans of red earthenware, in which are cooked in broth chicken as well as young lamb, gtme and other tender cuts of meat. The stewpans are of about the same material as Boston bean pots. and. like the bean pot, it is considered quite the correct thing to serve them with their contents on the table. The New Eng land housewife, we are aware, does not expect to display a bean pot any more than anj* other kitchen stew pan or pot, but it is not an uncommon thing on the more elegant tables outside of New England to see it so displayed in order to validate the claim that its contents ere genuine "Boston baked beans." The French cocotte comes in various sizes. It is broad and shallow, so its contents are easily cooked. Cut the chicken, to cook it in this way, in small pieces, as you do for a fricassee. Sea eon it well and add a dozen small but ton onions and some potatoes cut in tiny ball form. Cover the chickeniwith kalf a cup of white broth or veal stock and put the cover on the dish. Set the dish on a hot range, and let the chicken and vegetables slowly cook for half an hour. At the end of this time the veg etables will be nearly done and the broth considerably reduced and brown.

YOUR ROOM IS light, pretty and cheerful, you are hap py and anxious, and count the hours until the time comes for putting aside the duties of the day. A young woman who is an authority on making the best of a bad job has arranged her little room in a manner that is worthy of note. The room is a hall bedroom of ordinary size. In it she has a very neat mahogany folding bed which looks like a chiffonier when closed. Upon the top of this bed she has a fancy hand-embroidered cover, upon which lay several pretty toilet articles, such as the manicure-set. etc. On another corner of the bed is a plush box in which her comb and brush rest. At the end of the room opposite the window is an oval-shaped mirror, and facing the bed is a small round table upon which is arranged ar. after noon tea s*>t. Under the table is a little ptand for the fancy work basket. OIJ closer observation one notices that the mirror is securely hung to a door which leads to a closet where trunks and clothes are kept. NEAT SHOULDER CAPE. A Velvet nnil Fnr Combination That Will L>o Nicely for Street or llotiKe Wear. We are getting so English that we like to wear fur in the house. It is so warm, so pretty, so softening to all faces that small bits of it are combined with house capes in very many of the new models. There are cold afternoons when a small wrap must be slipped on. A shawl A HOME-MADE CAPE. is unwieldy and unbecoming, but a lit tle shoulder cape always looks nice. Many of these capes cam be made at home with the combining of leftovers half yards of rough cloth, a yard ol smooth cloth and a tiny border of fur. The home dressmaker need not hesi tate to launch out in the making of these small shoulder capes, for if she starts out with the right pattern she cannot go astray. The only reliable cape pattern is the circular which can best be cut out as a wheel. Use for your pattern thej top of a tiny table if there is no other way •of striking an exact circle. Slit it down the front for the opening and; border the front edge with fur.. Edge the whole cape with a double ruffle of fur and you will have a neat little garment to wear in the house. An old'muff cut up will afford a sufficient amount ol fur. Koclpe for Ribbon Cake.

Bad air in close barns is a fruitful cause of disease among dairy stock, es pecially the dreaded tuberculosis or cow consumption. An effective meth od of ventilation s used in the Wiscon sin experiment station barn. It was devised by Prof. F. 11. King, who thus describes it: A single ventilating flue (D E) ri-e« 4 I /d \ | I VENTILATING SYSTEM, above the roof of the main barn and is divided below the roof into two arms (A B D), which terminate near the level of the stable floor at AA. These openings are provided with ordinary registers, with valves, to be opened and closed when desired. Two other ven tilators are placed at B B, to be used when the stable is too warm, but are provided with valves, to be closed at other times. C is a direct 12-inch ven tilator leading into the main shaft and opening from the ceiling so as to admit a current of warm air at all times to the main shaft to help force the draft. This ventilating shaft is made of gal vanized iron, the upper portion being three feet in diameter. The covering on the outside is simply for architect ural effect. The air enters the stable at various points as shown in the plan at F G and in the vertical section by arrows at F G. —Orange Judd Farmer. DAIRY SUGGESTIONS. Don't try to make good butter when milk and cream are kept in uuventi lated cellars. Turn off the old cows. It is not wis dom to keep cows after they are eight years old, as a rule. Whenever you see black pepsin rec ommended for the increase of the but ter product, count it as a fraud. Do you know what profit each of your cows yield you? If you are a butter maker it is possible and profitable. If your land is hilly, select that va riety of cows which will thrive best. Heavy cattle cannot climb hills readily. In selling a cow for a milker, be hon est with the persons to whom you sell. Establish a reputation for fair dealing. If any of our readers milk eight or ten cows they canuot afford to set the milk in cans. Separate. Get a sep arator. The dairy is, without question, more profitable than wheat growing in Min nesota and in many sections of both Dultotas. If, after feeding the proper milk making food to your cows, you are still unable to obtain a good quality of milk, try giving her fat-inaking substance and dispose of her. When anyone gets where he thinks he can learn nothing he might as well die, and perhaps he will get somewhere where there is something to learn. There is a good deal for the best of us yet to learn in the dairy. Every pound of butter made in the country should grade as prime butter, and will if all buttermakers will learn all that readily can be learned about the business.—Western Plowman. Soil for AitpariiKrns. Asparagus thrives best on a combina tion of a good soil with perfect drain age. If the good drainage is absent, heavy, compact soil is the worst place to try to grow it. The plant is frequently grown in sandy land, and is thought by some to do. well in no other, for the rea son that the drainage requirement is not fully appreciated. Asparagus be gins to grow very early in the spring, before ordinary land is dry enough to goon; therefore.it requires land in which water does not stand. Aspara gus growth, however, is mostly water, so that heavy soil which will retain a certain amount of water and not leach itself dry is really desirable to secure a long-bearing season. Preventing Calf Scour*. I always feed a calf all the milk it will take from the time it is weaned from the cow, and when it is a week old it is fed from that time forth on sour thick milk, says a correspondent of Hoard's Dairyman. I take a good handJul of the best oil meal and scatter it with enough boiling water to warm the milk sufficiently warm and give the call all the milk it will drink, and I have yet to lose my first calf or have one troubled in the least with the scours. The oil meal, besides being excellent j as a preventive of bowel trouble, is very nutritious, and a ralf will thrive and do well on much less milk when fed with the oil meal than he would without it. IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR CO. in the Cutorla Case. In the United States Circuit Court Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand ed down an opinion in the suit of the Centaur Company, of New York City, against Samuel \V. Eslinger, of St. Louis, the suit being for an injunction to restrain the defendant from using the plaintiff's remedy, "Castoria." It was stated in complainant's bill that the Centaur Company, of which Charles 11. Fletcher is president, is the sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and alleged that the defendant had been selling medicine in packages closely re sembling those of the New York firm. A preliminary injunction was prayed for to restrain the defendants from in any way pirating npon the complain ant's business. The oill averred that the damages sustained were large, but could not be estimated. The plea of the defendant was that he had a right to do as he had done. Evidence in the case was taken by af fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav ing the bench, delivered an opinion in which he denounced imitators of well known medicines. He said the practice was a species of robbery and he would grant the injunction sought. The medicine "Castoria" was at first protected by patent and later by label and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed that other decisions similar to the one handed down yesterday have been se cured in the Federal courts, cases being innumerable in Chicago, Indianapolis, District of Columbia, Texas and New Jersey, in all of which the courts grant ed injunctions. The attorneys in this suit were Sed don and Blair ; of St. Louis, and F. H. Scott, of Chicago, for the complain-' ants and Michael Kineally for the de fendant. The preliminary injunction is understood to settle the point of law involved, but the question of damages will be adjudged when the case has its final hearing. The bottles of the original "Castoria" manufactured by the Centaur Company bear the facsimile signature of the pres ident, Charles 11. Fletcher, on the label, while the bottles sold by the defendant company bore on the label the words "Pitcher's Baby Castoria." It is said that criminal proceedings will follow, and that several arrests may be made. Thoae Utrla. Maud—Between us, dear, I think the eount's compliments rather crude.

SPLENDID FIELDS OF GRAIN. Following is copy of letter received from Dennis Twohey, who went to Win nipegosis, Manitoba, from Austin, Minn., March, 1898: Winnlpegosis, Man., Jan 23,1899. Benjamin Davies, Esq., Canadian govern ment Agent, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: I havf great pleasure in writing you these few lines to let you know how I like my new location, and how I have been getting along since I left Southern Minnesota. 1 like this country well, the climate agrees with me and my family at all seasons, and taken all around it is away ahead of Minnesota. I may say that we have not had one storm yet this winter. As regards the productives of the soil, I consider it beats Southern Minnesota.. I am a practical farmer, but have never seen such vegetables in my life as I have seen raised here. As regards grain of all kinds, I have seen splendid yields, in fact any man who cannot get along here and make a good living cannot do it anywhere. We have abundance of wood for fuel, timber for building, and lots of hay. 1 have got good water on my place, about 24 feet. I have a good class of neighbors around me, and have been well used by everybody. I have been able to get lots of work for myself and team at fair wages, whenever I wanted it, and I think any one else can do the same. I would not care to return to >1 innesota. I am, sir, yours very truly, (Signed) DENNIS TWOHEY.
