Indian corn is the most econom ical pork-producing material during the winter months in regions where xuusively grown. Sd'l lurout told gas is one of the uncut vermiu exterminators aud most powerful disinfectants yet discovered, la rising it great care is necessary to prevent injury from inhaling the gas. wtich is a deadly poison, and from de atrC)ing tho buildiug by fire, which, Is necessary to employ for the produc tion of the gas. A common kerosene etove and an old iron frying-pan are the most convenient implements for generating the gas, particularly where roll brimstone is used. The place to be laminated should tirst be cleared of every living thing whose life ia of any value. it should then be made as nearly air-tight as possible, by closing the windows aud chinking the crevices if any. If the building ia a large one put a pound of roll brimstone into the Irving pan. Set the stove near the door, so that it can be reached easily from without, light, the wicks, pat from oue-fourth of a pound to a pound: of the brim-tans into the frying-pan, accurdim; to the size of the room, and y-i.-e the pan upon the stove. When the brimstone begins to melt, turn the wicks of the stove down so aa to leave but a small blaze, lijrht a match and touch to the melted brimstone, go vut and shut the door.

V careful to Aold the breath while extinguishing the lire in the stove. After keeping Che r otu shut up long enough to be come thoroughly fumigated, open the windows frrm the outside, throw open the door and let it air for a few hoars before venturing inside. We have acieiinie I.imigated a barn slightly with exrellrnt results without remov ing the stock.

When a kerosene stove i not convenient, an !d iron kettle, holding several gallons, rartly filled with hot embers, can be rsrd iii'tenl. The kettle should be yl-.crrt npoii n large, fiat rock, a sheet af 7'nc or a quantity of loam or sand, mo a r"t m sr tire to the floor.

The latest attempt of covetous Eng lish a pi talis ts to secure control of American industries I that now being bs 1e by the aarent of a syndicate ia central Ifsw York to bay np the sdfeeess) factories In that region, lie haa at ready aecttred the option on about tare hundred factories located ia Delaware, Otsego, Madison. Chenango, Oneida, Herkimer, Lewis, Jefferson, St. Law rence and Oswego counties. This ia tho locality where co-operative cheese making ia this country waa first estab lished, and its success for long series of years has bees largely due to tho natural adaptability of this region to grass production, and to the skill and .intelligence which the co-operative sys tem of dairying has developed. The English syndicate may believe that they secure this with what they purchase, but they will find themselves mistaken. It is the co-operative system that baa won this great success, and tho Intro duction of foreign capital, no matter how abundant, cannot make its loss good. There are about five hundred eheese factoiies in the district marked out by this syndicate for its own. They are patronised by thousands of farmers, most if not all of whom are sharehold er in the profits of the business, and give an intelligent supervision to its details that would be impossible uuder a system in which they were not di rectly Interested. We do not wonder that the farmer in this district look with distrust on an enterprise that may possibly destroy what they have made a successful business. It is no de traction from their Intelligence to doubt the success of a scheme to subordinate the labor employed In cheese production to tho capital. In stead of having both combined ia one under tho co-operative system. It might be a success in England, where capital has always been uppermost, and the land owner has been a titled gentleman, while the land worker baa been little removed from a boor. It ia not a system that this country can wel come, and we are glad to believe that it cannot be made successful here. No branch of farming can in this country be profitably conducted by capitalists, however enterprising and intelligent they may be. It is Intelli gence and skill that are most needed in the employee. - la this country men who possess these qualities mainly em ploy themselves. The English syndi cate has, unwittingly, perhaps, at tempted to control a branch of farm pro duction in which skill and carefulness, that money alone cannot buy, are more Important than anything else. Lack of money has not indeed been any difficulty for many ears with Ameri can dairymen who work on the co-operative plan. All the improved appli ance find ready sale and ready pay in the localities where butter and cheese factories most flourish. A little morel money or a little less is a trifling mat- , ter to men whose combined resources are practically unlimited. The good will, skill, and intelligence which the patrons of cheese and butter factories furnish are indispensable. What is to hiuder those who sell out to the English syndicate from establish ing new factories of their own, run as heretofore on the co-operative plan. This we believe will in some case be done, and this method which has suc ceeded seems to us to be a better policy than the proposal by some capitalist in this country to buy up what factories they can, and fight the English cheese trust with one organized on much the Stan plan, but with American capital. Farm Motes. In selecting for a small flock, lambs, mutton and wool should all be consid ered. Better stack the straw out door than leave the carriages and implements unhoused. Water is as much needed by fowls as by animals and to servs It propel purpose it must be pure. Good horses are always high, and that is more than can be said of any thing els the farmer raises. No other animal about the farm suf fer so quickly from wet feet as sheep. Give a dry pen Well ventilated. All animals need a supply of salt la winter aa much a in cummer. Give It often so they will not eat too much. An open shed, tight on three aides. Is warmer than a barn with open tracks all around for the wind to draw through. Some general rules are well enough for the poultry business, but the busi ness cannot be made a success by rule. More observation ia absolutely neces sary. When young stock come to the barn, remember the difference in value be tween a good animal and a poor one, and give every one a chance to do it beet. Some rule will not apply to alt breeds nor to all seasons, and many special case demand special treatment and the maa who depends on general principle 1 soon lost. A sheep over two year old which ha become unusually fat should be marketed, aa they seldom get in that condition again. This applies to sheep in large flock. If you are going to have a horse fork put in for next season, have it done now while agent are not busy, and the nay in the barn will mak it much more easy to climb. fine cross for general purposes can be obtained by mating Buff Cochin pullets with a brown Leghorn cock. They make beautiful birds, good lay ers and nice dressing fowl. Now Is a good time to make selec tion of pullets for layer. For breed ing stock they ibould be procured early enough to be sure that they have cot been mated with other breeds. Many people have failed in keeping duck for the reason that they treated them more like fish than fowl. Pekin ducks need no more water than hens and hens often need more than thee get. It is about time for another boom in the sheep business, and there are some signs of it, and the wise farmer will reduce his flock when pi ices are high. Such excitements do not last long, and sheep increase very fast when people are holding on to all they have. The Western Rural truly say "there is nobody who is doing business for the fun of the thing, or giving away valuable goods to strangers just to in troduce them.

There 1 nothing in all the dry -good tock more tempting than the French made underwear, with their fcaud loom of linen and cambric, their ex quisite needlework aud the lavish dis play of thread lace edgings aud in sertions and hair-like ribbons of pale pink, yellow and bine. Originally de signed for bridal trousseaus, a special class of trade has been secured which, i steadily growing, and to which man ufacturers and importers find it profit able to cater. Some idea of the beauty of the corset-covers may be inferred from the fact that they are worn aa bodices before the camera for carte de visile and medalion photographs. They are made of fine German linen, with the shoulder-strap and back and front corsage of lace, woven iu one piece. IIow many black-haired women do you know f If you take the trouble to count, you will Cud that out of ten women you meet, nine will have blonde hair of some shade, and the tenth will possess dark brown rather than black. The tendency of the time seem to be toward light-haired women, and by-the-by, 1 do not mean the one whose hair is made light by the use ot peroxide of hydrogen. Scientists tell us that a a nation grow more civilized It women grow more perfectly blond, and student In the mysteries of lov say that blond women are the most afl'ectlonate wives and the least faithful. This i the sort of thing that no man can find out by personal experience, but it rather interesting to know. A stylish garment is a full length redingote fitted and worn without any dress whatever. A medium weight cloth I selected, the lining i of heavy twill silk and to it adjustable collar and cuffs are added to match the long fur rever Uiat reaches from the left shoulder to the left foot, concealing the button flap. Ornaments of passementerie are placed on the sleeve head and at the belt, front and back. It is a stylish and dressy garment and much admired by those ladies of leisure and mean who habituate tbemwrf s to an after noon outing for picture and health and who go from the carriage or pro menade to the siesta preceding the elan borate dinner toilet. This dress coat, as the tailors call it, I nothing unless it is a fit, and the bottom figure a which it tan be bad is $ I ao. All young women possessed of fiery locks can remember that in the days of their childhood their tresses were a source of mocking merriment to tbell playfellow and friends, and the term sorrel top or tra wherry blonde was, oue of contempt. They wondered, perhaps, why they were always called red head when the hirsute adornment of their sisters and cousin was de scribed as simply black, brown ot blonde. They wondered, too, at th mirth-provoking quality of their ring lets, and hunted in vain for a reason hy their big brothers and little boyi should scream, "head a-flre" when th wind tossed them about. But "all things have but a time," as the old ong goes, and the red-headed girl do not mind now that it is the ambition of every young woman to be auburn haired, and she hopes by the use of red bleach, red powder and red veil to at-; tain the shades which belonged to the; wicked Lucretia and the hapleaa Mar Stuart. While the Annie Jenesie Miller are at work with their dress reform and legelettes the furrier has Introduced a f ur-liued underskirt in which anxious mother and cold-blooded women are particularly interested. The garment here reproduced is intended for work ing and walking women, and has been adopted by a number of doctresses, actresses, singers and teacher whose duties take them out at all hour and in all aorta of weather. It doe away with the necessity of wearing heavy underwear, takes the place of a weighty cloth dress, and, with a warm cloth jacket, Is a protection against cold. This one in question Is made of dipped fox on a foundation of black India silk. Any other fur might be used and a gay shade of silk. It is the opin ion of all English women who have made a study of the science of dress that the American girl 1 the worst dressed in the world.

The Chicago Woman Club ha or ganized a peculiar and beautiful charity whose purpose is broad and human' and whose object are to secure protecs tion from all offence and crime against the purity and virtue of women and children, against the withholding of wages, violation of contracts, exaof tion of exhorbitant interest, and against that graver class ot crimes in dieted by the brutality of the opposite eez, red) us against which is more dif floult to procure than against any other; and also the extension ot a wholesome moral support to women and children who have been wronged. Work of this kind is not only delicate bat difficult, but the voluntary worker of the society have not shrank from it, women of the highest social character and standing frequently appearing in the city justice courts Uiat their pres ence might secure the impartial ad ministration of legal Justice to some wronged and ignorant victim of man's depravity.

The centre of tbe table may have some pretty decorations arranged to suit the fancy; pot of tall ferae would be lovely. Feetoon of evergreen and bolly may hang from the chandelier or lamp, as the oaae may be. All the small gift can be put into tbe dishes, while others may be neatly arranged in front. Such gift as sleds, rocking boms, etc., ahould be placed where the chair usually stands. Let some on have apecial charge of the arrangement. When all is ready, the bell may be rung as at dinner time, and the household called together. In this way the older folks may share the surprise and pleasure with the younger. Let me whisper a word or two more to my young reader before I lay down my pen. Perhaps you are hap py ; perhaps you have all that you can wish to make your cup of joy ruu over; but atop and think a moment. Do not you know some one who may be lea fortunate; whose Christmas will be empty aud dreary, unless some one else (which may be you) brightens it?
