Mill FEEDING DAIRY COWS. ,f IMMl of Siutmi with Animal lira In ne nnm lamani and Ahlltty. Successful dairy feeding does not de- avtla iinnii the kind of food used jfQU " ami " I J, the relative amounts of each kind but it depends lurgeiy upou how jtis fed and when It is fed. The successful feeder will study the jranti of hi cows just as much as the Eciltfnl caterer studies the tastes j his customers. He will try to give them their food hi us pulutuble a con dition us possible, though not neees- isrilv in what nmy be termed a fancy dyle, which would be inipruct k-ul. He ,rill also see to the comfort of bis Ml pals. This point we consider us bring jirectly In contneotloti with (reding, for a cow which is uncomfortable must teessarily use more of her feed for bodily repair than she otherwise would. So dairyman would ever think c( using a milk banket which leaked, vet there are n any dairymen who. during a single winter, lose milk by the round through the cracks of their stable. Such conditions must neces sarily increase the expenses and hence lower the profit. It is n point which wc consider most directly connected with the subject of prnctical and nci- tivtifle dairy feeding. Regularity in feeding is another im portant factor. If cattle are fed at certain times of the day, and only at those times as far as practical, they sill learn to expect it then and only then. This will remove the uneasiness often exhibited when persons enter the stable or arc working about them at other times. It is also a saving on their digestive organs. No permanent rule can be laid down In- hich to feed dairy cattle. No one ftt'd, no one way of feeding, or no one amount of feed will suit all conditions or all animals. The true eecret of suc cess in the business lies in the ability and ingenuity of the dairyman him self, lie must be capable of deciding what feeds he can use nnd how he can use them to produce the greatest amount of his particular product milk, etc. of best quality and with least expense. Unless he is in the business for fun, his profits will be hit tucccss, and so he must work for that end. liarnum's Midland Farmer. MARKETING LIVE-STOCK. A Coinblnatloa Device Which Css De Used Nearly I'vrrr Day on I the Farm. Here is the handiest combination 1 ever saw. It can be used nearly every day on the fnrm. The cut shows it ready for hauling hogs, sheep, calves, etc. Two njlnutes' work will make a tight box of it. By putting the strips (a) into the cracks (b) it is ready foi hauling corn, wood, etc., and by taking one side of the rode and front end gate off and putting stripe (a) in place you have it ready for husking corn. I think it is ahead of rigging up a lot oi old sideboards every time you haul hogs. And if you have just a hog rack alone, and your box is on the wagon, you have to change if you want to haul corn, oats, etc; the next da you must change again. Tho rack is made of six-inch fenc ing. The cracks (b) are S inchci lira 1 ' tailing . y I ' J COMBINATION CRATE, wide, the strip (a) is three inches wide (a fence board ripped). The rack pnrt u 19 inches high. Tho upright pieces are fencing boards, nnd are twe in a' place and should go nearly to the bottom to stiffen the box. They art bolted together, while the cleats foi the end gates are rialled on. I made the scoop end gate, which is much handler than end gates and rods. 1 take it off when I load hogs. J. T Hubbard, in Farm and Home. STORING ICE OUTDOORS. Account of a Method Nuocesaf nil Em pfeo) cd for Several Year b a Eaatern Farmer. Some years ago it occurred to me to stack a little ice outdoors to save the trouble of taking it from the icehouse, writes a correspondent of the Connect- i cut Farmer. The stack was made in the north side of a building. In the ex pectation that worm weather would j quicRjy men 11, uui uiwi was iui uj. It kept surprisingly, and thereafter largo quantities were stacked yearly, until for several yeirs past the out of doorsstack fins furnished ice for cream ery and household until about Scptem her L There lieing a scarcity of ice this year, I hud to use an inferior quali ty, four or five inches thick. The sjaek was about thirty feet square and four feet high. It has furnished Ice to cool about 300 quarts of milk per day 111 creamery, besides refrigerator in house. My method Is to spread 11 few Inches of shavings on the ground for tho Ice to rest on, stock the Ice and' cover with shavings to a depth of about o foot. I have found a low stack ,best, ns these seems to be compara tively little melted from top to bottom; !hut ifan oticiiing through the side cov ering lots tho air in it will cut nway very fast, nnd the higher the stack is the more difficulty in keeping the sides covered. I have used the same shavings year after year, f doubt whether it is Important to hnvc the stack In the shade; the shavings getting moisture from rnln and from the Ice, evaporation keeps down the temiorature. Do not expect to sell butter at extra prices to private, customers unless it U tf extra quality and finest flavor. PRILLS OF FASHION. (,ot. a the Uotlee for Ladle Whs Krp l'p nltb tbe Tliaes In Ureea. Velvet toques trimmed with fur and fur toques trimmed with velvet were equally popular for afternoon wear ut the horse show. Sable, chinchilla un ' baby lamb are the furs most employed in millinery. The toque made entirely of fur has a rosette bow of colored velvet at one side or one of monsseline de soie, with two black ostrich tip. A buncb of velvet Cowers is also very ef fective. The velvet uwd for toque is covered with rows of stitching. Feather toques are a novelty In Paris, and are trimmed with shaded wings. Last season fur enpes ore mode wry smart by s'opin;.' !'.' the front edge c give the round shape so ranch sought after, and sewing ti fti!l of clilffon nr real lace on the inside edfre E rutin capes are espet'tull pretty Hnlshrd III this wav. tnd cream luce with sable's always effective. One of the special novelties in silks Is n tnfTetii in Various pretty bright e0. nrs embroidered in white ill. with gclf ?iel and ball, horseshoes or footballi It is n foregone conclusion that these are especially designed fur shirt waists to be worn in the young girls' kingdom at the various sports. Blaok s:itin cords made not covered as a trimming to be tis-c-d like bra t' are very effective In patterns or sewn on In straight rowsqulte close together, White nut In cords tire especially prei ty sewn on white tulle and net fjr yokes, collars and vests. If yon want to use some real lacs which has been stowed awny in the treasure box for years, edge It wi'h a tiny ruche of white moussellne de sole nnd arrange it in a bertha onyourcven ing gown. Jet is very much the fashion for trim ming theater waists and evening gow n generally. Black net well covered with jet pailettei in pretty designs is quite as popular for entire costumes as it was last season, but it is made more elegant than ever by the lavish use-of cream or white Incc, Venetian point being espe cially desirable. One pretty theoter waist of white silk has a small diamond design outlined with narrow Jet em broidery all over the lower portion, W'bile alwve this is a fichu of white cliifTon edged with narrow ruffles trimmed with narrow black velvet rib bon. Eton jackets falling In short rounded tabs below the waist liuo or belted across the back and sides with the round tab ends only In front are ex tremely smart this season. They arc covered with applique embroidery or decorated fh various cut-out designs showing white silk or cloth through the spaces. A novelty in waists to wear with your Kton coat is made of white velvet and simply finished with ruchos or shirrings of yellow chiffon and has a rhinestooe clasp at the center of tho cravat bow, also of yellow. Bound rosettes of block velvet bnby ribbon are used us a trimming on lace evening gowns. Cherry red taffeta is the latest thing for petticoats, and if you would be quite up to date have corsets to match. Fancy mufTs of velvet to match the hat arc displayed very temptingly among the extravagant novelties. Th jV are flat in effect nnd made with a double ruffle at each end. but large in size. A stylish snble muff in a similar style has a wide circular frill at each end, is lined with white satin and is finished on the edges with tiny short tails set on two nr three inches apart all around. X. Y. Sun. FLANNEL LORE. It Is Soiiie.hlliK Which Many Womea Are Bat Very LlttlS Ao qnalnted With. The ignorance of women concerning things which they have been using all their lives is strange., nnd almost seems to reflect upon their general intelli gence. There was n woman at the wool en unaVrwcnr counter in oneof the best shops of the city the other day buying underwear for children. She was ap parently a woman of the class one would expect to sea us a regular cus tomer in such a shop. She must have been to or more, was well dressed, a cultivated woman, ap parently, Intelligent if not intellectual, but she was ashing the clerk questions which seemed strangely out of plsce coming from a woman with a family. She inquired carefully concerning the quality of cotton garments, wool gar ments, and cotton and wool combined, which would and which would not shrink, and what the clerk was soiling for winter wear. "1 am selling these garment," he said, referring to some at which she had been looking, "for between season wear." She gauged her purchases by his answer. There was a woman who, nt tho low est estimate, had been buying under wear for 20 years, and she. did not know what would and would not shrink, and she. did not know what weight gar ments to buy for the children until the clerk told her what he was selling. It might be, possible in this case that this individual woman was buying for chil dren not her own, and other excuses might bo given, but hers is not an un usual case. She repeated the questions of probably three-quarters of the wom en who bought goods of that clerk. It might be well for women to devote a little time to experiment with tlannelH. and in it month they would learn some valuable lessons which they would not forget. Them is a woman up town who has 11 special limine! washing day, and has nil the woolen llannels that nil the members of the family wear washed in warm soapsuds, rinsed thoroughly, dried quickly ill the house, and, when neurly dry, the process completed with not tix hot Iron?, Those flannels never brink.
