They are ;t t even to touch the pavement, still l.v.-s sweep it. Yet no sane woman dt .ires her regular walking skirt to look like a "rainy daisy" or outing skirt. Avoid If possible any "sporty" ten ilency In too great shortening of the skirt. Pit down in It. as well as be iltted standing up. before you decide on the length of the hem.

FARM AND GARDEN, Location of the Farm Home. ' In many sections the farm houses re some distance from the county roads and surrounded by trees, hedges and shrubbery. In other localities the houses are close to the roads, where dust from every passing team Is car ried to the house. It may be more convenient to be close to the road, bnt with so much land as a large farm to build upon It should be more comfort able to set the houses back, so as to ornament with lawns and make tbe farm more attractive In appearance, which will add to Its value. Frogreee la Fotiltrjr Keeping. Within the past ten years poultry has made rapid strides as an Industry In this country, largely owing to the perfection of Incubation nnd brooders. It Is now customary on largo poultry farms to hatch chicks In November for the early market, the chicks being sold when less thnn one pound weight each, they being substituted for squabs, which are usunlly scarce In January and February. Later In the spring the demand Is for heavier chicks. Some poultrymen hatch chicks for market every month In the year. Although prices nre lower In summer the expense for food nnd enro Is less than In winter. Choice broilers bring high prices, but the Inrge majority of chicks thnt reach the market after Christmas Is not of sufficient quality to come up to the requirements of "choice," and the chicks do not, there fore, bring the best prices. Keeping Land Covered With Growth. New discoveries are sometimes noth ing but verification of old methods. In some sections hnlf a century ago It was customary to nllow the land to "rest" for n year after producing two or three crops. During the resting year the land would become covered with weeds or other growth, which re mained, thus serving as a mulch. Re cent experiments show that when n crop of crimson clover, grass, rye or any other growth Is allowed to die down and fall upon the land without mowing, or mowed and left In place, the shading of the soil promotes the formation of humus, especially In summer, as the dampness, darkness and protection from the direct rays of the sun place tho land In the same condition as forest land. There Is, however, n loss of a year's time, nnd tho condition of the soil nffects the re sults. The main point Is whether such a system would he economical. Handling and Feeding Corn Foddor. My corn shocks nre of overage sine. and when husked are tied ot the top with binder twine. When ready to house two men pull tho bottoms to gether with n rope nnd tie with same twine. The shocks nre rolled on a hay frame up a wide ladder which drags behind. This fall I shall try the si lage wagon. I think two men can lift a shock upon such a wagon. These shocks are placed in the barn with a horse hay fork, and while still tied they are lifted by hand with this same fork to the cutter platform, which Is ns high above the upper floor as I could make It. The cutter Is run by a one-horse level tread power on the ground. The room for the fodder, and all things to bo cut, adjoins tho one having the floor nnd the cutter platform, and Is one story. The steel track for horse fork runs full length of this room nnd over the cutter platform. Beneath the blades of my cutter, which has a down stroke. Is a cylinder which grinds, chews or masticates the fod der after it Is cut. My stock eat It without waste. They are eating It now, and they nre by no means starved to It. For bedding In stall, sty nnd coop It Is superior. The heart of the whole matter is the masticator. It Is not a splitter, a shredder, nor a sllcer. W. F. Smith, In New Englaud Homestead. A Cold 'Weather Finn. The cut shows one end of the poul try house partitioned off, nnd the sep arated portion divided in two by a platform at the middle point from floor to ceiling. The upper part con tains the roosts and below Is a dust ing place, with a small window to ward the sun. In front is a hinged o WARM BOOSTS. door that shuts up before the roosts at night to provide warmth, aud shuts down over the dusting room in the daytime for warmth. Two round openings give entrance to tho dusting room and ventilation to both places. Orange Judd Farmer. Fencing and Its Cot. Fencing Is one of tbe heavy Items of farm expense. Timber never was abundant in this part of the West, and has become io scarce that the Vir ginia rail fence or post and rail fence Is no longer made. Even where tim ber is abundant the Virginia fence Is far from cheap, because of tbe ground It occupies. Not only Is a wldo strip taken from cultivation, but It makes Inevitable something of a fight against weeds, and It also makes a breeding ground for hurtful insects, etc. This 1s equally true of tbe Osage orange hedge fence, which la also a gross feeder. I have not seen any new hedge put out for some years In the .West, and there are good reasons for this. Effectiveness aud durability con sidered, our most economical fence is the woven wire fence, and at present prices it is not a low priced fence, Ther., Is a very general nuil well de fined suspicion among Vejirn farm n I ers teat the price of wire Is higher than It should be, nnd thnt some trust promoters nnd others have been fat tening at the expense of the Western farmer. Certalu It Is that the cost of any fencing Is now so considerable thnt the amount required should be reduced to the minimum, and the first step in doing this is to have the law changed to compel every one to fence In his own animals. Of course, the cry will be raised that this is oppressive to the poor man, that It Is taking away his pasture, etc. .We hare found, however, that where the law has been changed the poor man has been able to find pasture for bis cow, and she has certainly fared much better thnn before. The roadside very rarely affords good pasture, and when to scant and uncertain feed nre added racing by boys, tormenting by dogs and clubbing by angry owners of dam aged gardens or crops, the lot of the highway cow Is not such as to make it any real charity to her owner to allow her to be a highway cow. It is cer tainly very expensive charity, and the quicker it Is ended the better for the community. John M. Stnhl, lu The Country Gentleman. Two Flane For Poultry Home.

New York Tribune. " " Holding on Your Stock This Is alwajs a serious question to consider. How long shall one hold on, to the stock when feed is scarce and high In price? Of course a good mar ket at a profit would tempt any man to sell, and uo false step might bo taken, but to sell the stock at u sacri fice Is nearly always bad policy. Yet many do this. They actually go Into the cattle business as a sort of specu lation. If feed and prices ure satis factory they will make money. If feed Is high and prices have not ad vanced correspondingly, they sell and lose. ISuch policy Is ruinous. It Is much better if we exhibited a few more of the gritty principles of the bulldog and huug on. There may some times be danger in bunging on too long, but as a rule most of us get dis couraged too soon. With poor food and high-priced fodder prevalent nil over the country the prices for cattle are bound to udvauce. These prices never do seem to go up, however, until most of the stock has been sacrificed. Then for some strange reasons the market advances and somebody makes money. Speculation bus a good deal to do with this. Shrewd dealers go forth aud purchase stock wherever they are offered at a sacrifice, and they hold them for tho boom. Experienced breed ers bold on to their stock, and actu ally produce more In the very face of a fodder famine. But they have dis counted the future, and can pretty ac curately predict tho future coufoo of cveuts. The very best policy for a stoc"jiaa to pursue is to hold on as long ns pos sible, and do not muke a sacrifice of stock In uny event. Thero Is no 'sense iu that, and no reason, full through some way. Find some ways oud means to make both ends meet. In order to do this It may be necessary to resort to extreme measures, but half the resources of tho farm havo uot yet been discovered or exhausted. There is good bright straw, which, If mixed with buy and some grain, cau be converted into food of fulr value. Millet, sorghum, pea hay, corn fodder, pumpkins, turnips and everything else should be utilized. Take every thing that can be fouud or purchased cheap and try to convert It Into fodder by mixing It In with more nourishing feud. Plant late grass and hay crops, piece out the ranges, and pasture and scour the couutry for bargains In straw, hay or some other stuff that can be turned Into food. By a little study of tbe conditions, aud a determ ination to hang on, the cattle can be carried along for mouths yef without losing any of their fat, and when prices begin to advance the unprofita ble season may be turned Into a dis tinctly profitable one.

Many fashion c linages are laid to the change of coiffure to low down on the back of the neck. To this Is at tributed the mode of the shawl collar on fur garments. This shape Is used to the exclusion of almost every other kind; the flaring mcdlcl effects are de rlguer no longer. BB All COATS FROM FABI3.

In former days, snys the London Graphic, it wos not considered good taste for women to wear much Jewel ry, nnd In tho old pictures by the groat masters most of the women are paint ed either without such ornaments or with only a string of gold or of pearla around the neck. Of late years it has become the fashion to carry thousands of pounds' worth of jewelry in the hair, on the neck, on the bodice, nnd on the wrists and fingers. Several prominent artists are now preaching the doctrine of simplicity as regards the use of Jewelry. Frofeulonal Packers. In these dnys of trouble saving there has crept up yet another employment for women that of professional pack ers. The richer members of the com munity have no wish to be bothered with packing their own boxes, and It Is by no means every maid that can do it efficiently; so In America and Paris there are certain women who, for a comfortable fee, will come and pack jour things, choose the boxes most suitable for them and relieve you of the burden of anxiety which would be yours did you feel that, on nrrlval at a smart house, your lovely silk and muslin dresses would nppear like bo many crumpled not rose leaves, oh, dear no; but dusting rags. London has also proved the benefit of this new Industry, and professional packers who ore thoroughly up to their work tan make quite a comfortable Income. Heme Notes. The Fashion Outlook. Velvet will be tiulto as fashlonablo as lust season indeed a velveteen gown Is now considered ns uocesnry in a thorough outfit as a cloth cos tume. These costumes arc made with skirt and coat to match, and on the lines of the cloth gowns, ouly natural ly tney should be very simple, even severe in effect. A cown that was one of the smartest models of last season. oud ouly a few copies of which were seen, bad the skirt with lines of nar row tucks and a blouse coat gathered into a narrow Dolntcd belt. The ennt is double-breasted, fastened ot one side with enameled and 1weliil hut. tons, quite small and with loops of nne cord instead of button-holes. It Is suld to bo economical to buv a 10-10! velvet skirt and then have a low waist to wear with it la tho evening, nnd a velvet coat for day wear. The first outlay may be less than if two separ ate gowns were bought, but surely it would bo far better to hnve a velvet een or even corduroy gown for street wear, and keep tho velvet entirely for ilia evening, for no one can feel woll dressed lu the same cown worn nllko for street oud house. Harper's Bazar. Market Women of Switzerland. To see all clauses of Bwlss npotibv espcclally the women, aud many other nationalities as well, one does well in go to the murket on Saturday. Very eany in the morning the Swiss peas ant comes from his mountain or conn. try home, bringing his vegetables, fruits, flowers, cheese, etc. There Is a largo square devoted to that purpose, but the streets extending in every di rection from the square are lined with women and little girls sitting on boxes, overturned tubs, or even on the uldw. walk, with their baskets ot produce before them. It la tbe most beautiful sleht I ever saw, in the way of display of vegeta bles, fruits uud flowers. The peasant women have good, wholesome faces, usually wearing thick woolen skirts, blouse waists, with long blue gingham or coarse, but sporicssly clean, white aprons. The young girls of twelve, the boys, both younger aud ulder, have thick, wide shoes, coarse socks of blue, grny, or bright red color, which reach but two or three inches above their shoes, and bare legs above. The wom en and girls usunlly attend to the mar keting of vegetables, fruit and flowers, while the men assist tho women In tho stalls, where baskets, woodenware and cheese ore sold. Leslie's Weekly. Little Pointers. The color of the eyes should deter mine the choice of the dress and mil linery. A blonde may wear pure white with advantage, but a brunette nearly al ways looks better in cream-colored fabrics. This ought to be more gen erally recognized. Brown eyes and a brown dress go well together. Blue-eyed girls should wear blue as often as possible. The tan shades ore not often suita ble for slim figures. Black satin Intensities the effect ot rouud shoulders. A small toque Is excessively unbe coming above a large rouud face. Dull black Is the best choice for a falr-halred woman, while a brunette must order something brilliantly black if she really wishes to look her best. Tucks nnd stripes running down ward become th. Juno type of women, but tbe thin, angular beauty should have the stripes and tucks running around her dress, aud sho will be surprised to find how much her ap pearance will be improved. A little woman with a thin face may faucy herself in a Galnesborottgh hat, hue sho Is wroug very wrong. Stripes narrower that an inch wldo tend to mnke one look slim; wider than on Inch they Increase one's breadth. New York Commercial Ad vertiser. A Humane Way to Wear Bird. Birds and butterflies nre the most popular designs for most of the dainty bits of Jewelry thut give the cachet of smartness to elaborate gowns. Per haps the birds are a little more Bought after than the butterflies. Few there nre, Indeed, of tbe feathered tribe that have escaped Imitation. Even the ungainly body of the young snipe is set up In tiny rose diamonds to serve as a catch pin about an Inch long. Tbe English pheasant, with long tail feathers, Is a favored and grace ful deslgu In precious stones. Lyre birds are reserved for the hair, and behind their spread tails are placed high, soft aigrettes. These birds are made both In rliluestones and in dia monds aud cost, therefore, upward from $15 -to a king's ransom. Two, three or five dainty little swallows crossing on the wing a parallel bnr Is not exactly a new design, but it now Is certainly having a second wave of popularity, while small peacocks, al together new, nre nmong tbe most gorgeous of the bird orunments. When uot made up of Btones these nre done In exquisite enamel, each eye of tho magnificent tall being wonderfully true to life. Ducks are not forgottea In this reigning passion for birds. Nearly always, however, they are made of enamel on either gold or sil ver, their highly colored necks nnd heads gleaming in the light most bril liantly. Pouter nnd fantail pigeons nre among the very attractive and quaint of the, jew designs. With tho butterflies nlso thero 13 much variety in the style of make-up, and while the handsomest ones nre ciwtly, there are others very pretty that come within the range of nearly nil. But always it must be remem bered thnt it takes a certain type of woman, a light, flower-like looking creature, to wear well a butterfly. A fetching way to wear any of these ornaments Is as clasps for some of tho numerous chains which aro hung about the neck. New York Commercial Ad vertiser. Hand-Pointed Itata Are the Thins. One of the newest specialties in Paris this season Is the hand-painted hat. The other day I saw an exquisite creation of black velvet with a brim quilled In such a way that the velvet apparently formed great rose petals, on each of which was n'pnlnted golden feather. Katharine do Forest, in the Ladies' Home Journal. gMlNGS TQ WATl Handsome designs In cut steel and crystal ore used for hut ornaments. Cypress green and dark brown In velvet represents ono of tho season's combinations In millinery. Emeralds, amethysts, topaz of dif ferent shades, aud sapphires help to give variety to a lorgnetto chain, into which they are set at Intervals. Empire chains formed of tarved heads of gold, pearls, or rose coral are ultra fushlouuble. An old medallion or pendant of pearls Is attached. Arabian luce Is used for turban aud toque trimming and filmy not embroid ered la gold Is used for brim facing on some picturesque black velvet huts.

A smart white waist with a deslgu of large black dots set on at wide In tervals has for a stock and collar white stitched black tafetta', the belt fastened with uu oval gun-metal buckle. . There Is a tendency to trim tho waist across the front below the yoke, and in some tucked waists the yoke Is formed of perpendicular tucks and a group of other tucks are curried across the waist horizontally below.

The old-fashioned way of clarifying molasses and it g probably as good as any Is to heat It oveT the fire, pour. Ing In a pint of sweet milk for each gallon. The senm which arises should be taken off before It Is broken by boiling. Lighting and Wall Faper. Consider well the lighting of your rooms before selecting new wall cover. Ings. Red absorbs the sun's rays, and will darken a room more than any other color. Green, too, has a decided tendency to tone down the light. Yel low, however, hoightens the effect of sunlight and Is admirable for dark rooms. This latter shade in a bronze tint is the fashionable fad just now in combination with dark brown fumed cak. Cleaning Boiled Hatting. Matting that is dingy and soiled without being badly worn can be freshened quite remarkably by th use of warm water and salt Put enough salt into the water to make a strong solution ond wash tbe mat ting, a strip at a time, with a cloth wrung out of the solution. Dry each strip with a clean cloth before going on to the next. The only precaution that must be observed is thnt of uoi allowing the matting to become soak wet. f.7;s DUh-Waahlng. The first step Is well-scraped dishes. I find a dainty help In the nse of cheap tissue paper for wiping out greasy dishes. Into a small dishpan half full of boiling hot water put a piece of common kitchen soap and allow It to remain only long enough to make tbe water slightly soapy. A regular order of dish-washing should be observed: first the glasses, next the silver, then the cups nnd saucers, followed by the sticky and greasy dishes, and last the pots and pans and kettles. One should have three dish-mops, a small one for the glasses and after-dinner coffee cups, another for the other dishes, and a third for the cooking utensils. If the cooking utensils ore properly scraped before being put Into th( water they can be cleaned perfectly without the use of that abomination, a dishcloth. The mops should be care fully -washed after use and be hung In a bright, warm place to dry thor oughly. Take one dish in the band at a time nnd wash carefully. When dishes are handled In this way only tho tips of the fingers of the left hand need come In contact with the dishwater. As soon as the dishwater in the pan gets cool or becomes at nil dirty, It should be emptied out and the pan be refilled half full of boiling water. The dishwater should neve: be allowed to become like "boarding house soup." Dishes can, of course, be dried more easily when scalded. Good Housekeeping.
