Here's Some Good Advice. “The family dootor should din it in. to the mother’s head all of the time, that the health of the children lies in the feet. No child should be allowed to go out into the snow or rain, or when the walking is wet, without rub- bers. When children’s rubbers cost only 25 or 30 cents a pair, nobody can plead expense as an excuse. Many a fond mother who has lost a child, weepingly lays it all to the inscrutable dispensation of Providence, when the whole trouble was the child had no rubbers.” — American Journal of Health. Persian Colors. Persian colors are obtained to a great extent in the softer shades. Whole gowns are made of the material with the shawl effect, and one with a pale blue ground, the figures in -soft tones which blend with it, is lovely. A blouse of a delicate shade of silk, with a nar- row front of some soft white material, has long lapels and standing collar of silk in Persian colors, with, a charm- ing effect.

From the London Weekly Telegraph: Some time ago, writes a volunteer, I spent a week with a garrison battery in a south coast fort. the sergeants sat down to an excep- tionally fine dinner, the crowning glory of which was a large plum pudding. I} had made the pudding two days before, ! reheated, it had it boiled, and now, made its appearance, amid the welcome shouts of my brother warriors, and I: naturally felt a bit proud of it, for I hadn’t been a ship's cook for nothing. | “Seems mighty hard,” remarked the sergeant major as he vainly tried to stick his fork into it. ‘‘Have you boiled us a cannon ball, Browney?” “Or the regimental football?’ asked another. “Where did you get the flour from?” questioned Sergeant Smith. “Where from?” I retorted. “From store No. b, of course.” “The deuce you did!” roared the quartermaster sergeant. “Then, hang you, you've made the pud- ding with Portland cement.” And so it proved. That pudding is now pre- served in the battery museum, NERVOUS DEPRESSION. [A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.] A woman with the bluesisa very un- comfortable person. She is illogical, unhappy and frequently hysterical. The condition of the mind known as ‘“ the blues,” ncarly always, with wo- men, results from diseased organs of generation. It is a source of wonder that in this age of advanced medical science, any person should still believe that mere force of will and determination will overcome depressed spirits and nerv- ousness int women. These troubles are indications of disease. Every woman who doesn’t under- stand her condition should write to Lynn, Mass., to Mrs. Pinkham for her advice. ler advice is thorough com- mon sense, and is the counsel of a learned woman of great ‘experience. Read tke story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT, Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol- lowing letter: “DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I have suf- fered for over two years with falling, enlargement and ulceration of the womb, and this spring, being in such a weakened condition, caused me to flow for nearly six months. Some time ago, urged by friends, I wrote to you for advice. After using the treatment which you advised for a short time, that terrible flow stopped. “I am now gaining strength and flesh, and have better health than I have had for the past ten years. I wish to say to all distressed, suffer- ing women, do not suffer longer, when there Is one so kind and willing to aid you.’ Lydia LE. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound is a woman's remedy for wo- man’s ills, More than a million wo- men have been benefited by it On the last day ACRICULTURAL TOPICS Clay Soll For Pears. The best pear orchards are grown on a heavy soil with clay as the sub soil, into which the tap root of the pear will sink, beneath all ordinary fluctuations of temperature in the air above. It is this even temperature that saves pear trees on clay soils to a great extent from the blight which is so frequent where the soil is sandy or gravelly. It is not, of course, an ab- solute preventive, but we have always noticed that the pear trees which lived longest and longest continued productive were grown on clay soils. Putting Straw With Cornstalks. Farmers who are putting into the barn or stack cornstalks which are too damp to keep well can insure safety by occasionally throwing a forkful of dry grain straw in the middle of the stack or mow. This will absorb some of the moisture and prevent the stalks from heating to excess. We always liked to have the cornstalks go through enough fermentation to soften them, and if put up while there is still some sweet sap in the stalk, they will do it. The cattle eat them more readily, and they are also more nutri- tious. In a severe, cold winter, when cornstalks have been repeatedly froz- en, all the juices are dried out of them and they ave very poor feed for any kind of stock. Moistening and Soaking Feeds. Soaking grain feeds for cattle and hogs is quite generally recommended and the tests made by numerous ex- periment stations seem to support this general opinion. Innearly every case where pigs were experimented with the animals ate more of the wet food and made larger gains on it. It must be admitted, however. that the addi- tional gain was usually due to the larger amount of feed eaten and not to its moist condition. The Kansas station soaked shelled corn for five steers until it began to soften. An- other lot of five was fed dry corn. Those given soaked feed ate 282 bush- els, while the others ate 290. The first lot gained 164 pounds more than | the others, a difference of $25.50 in favor soaking. From this the station | concludes that it pays to soak corn for i steers if this can be done for six cents lor less. Soaking wheat for pigs is quite generally recommended. Shelter For the Cattle. | One of the prime requisites for handling cattle in any way is shelter; ‘a moderate expenditure in this direc- tion saves money. An outlay of $100 will put up a shed 100 feet long aud of sufficient width to accommodate 100 cattle on full feed and furnish a dry place for sleeping in muddy weather. | It is as much of a mistake to turn stockers into a stock field to shift for | themselves without shelter through- out the winter as to full feed cattle in | a lot where there is little or no ‘‘wind- | break,” and where snow, slush or mud may be the resting place. A feed lot knee deep in mud retards fattening | makes work harder, loses waste to the’ hogs, and when finished, cattle shipped ' to market from such surroundings their killing qualities are often over- | looked because of their filthy condi- ' tion. Where Red Clover Grows, Red clover grows best upon deep and well-drained calcareous loams. It is not so well adapted to the lighter sandy soils, to heavy compact clays, nor to gumbo prairie soils. drainage and a plentiful supply of rainfall during the season before flow- ering have a marked influence on the yield. Red clover is the standard hay crop: of the Northern and New England States, and is becoming every year more widely cultivated in the central prairie region. In the South and in the Pacific Coast and Rocky Mountain States other ecrcps are more successful, and there red clover is only grown in localities where the soil conditions favor it. The seed is usually sown with grain from March to May or, when in- tended for a spring soiling crop, from the middle of July to the first of Au- gust, without a nurse crop. Twenty pounds of seed are required per acre. The first crop of hay 1s ready to cut in June. "The second crop is gener- ally considered the best for seed, but the condition which governs seed pro- duction is the prevalence and abnn- dance of bumblebees, upon which the clover blossoms are dependent for fertilization. ~ The yield of seed per acre varies from three to nine bushels of sixty pounds.—Farm, Field and Fireside. Ralsing Asparagus Profitably. There is no summer vegetable crop more profitable than asparagus if +the plants have proper care. The plot must be kept in a high state of rich- ness and cultivation, and muck of the important work in this direction may be done now before winter sets in, The first thing to be done at this time is to cut off the tops of the plants and clear the bed entirely of weeds, for the weedy asparagus bed is the profit- less one. After this is thoroughly done the bed should be covered three inches deep with coarse manure, which will enrich the soil, and, what is more important, keep out the frost. Thus protected during the winter the plants will be laying up strength and energy for the spring. In early spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground, the coarse man- ure should be removed and all of the fine particles forked carefully in the soil, being careful not to injure the crown of the plant with the tine of the fork. If the soil is not sufficiently rich, add more fine manure and fork it in all over the bed. This treatment is inexpensive, but will result in heavy crops and make a decided difference in the size of the edible shoots. The plan is after the practice of the most successful asparagus growers of the " country.—Atlanta Journal.

The eminent English scientist, Lord Kelvin, who for many years has held the chair of natural philosophy at Glasgow University, is the subject of an amusing story illustrative of the singular force of habit. As a professor of science, Lord Kelvin can use long words in such formidable array as to paralyze the average layman, but the Glasgow student is made of sterner stuff. During a course of lectures on magnetism, he once defined an ideal magnet as “an infinitely long, in- finitely thin, uniform and uniformly and longitudinally magnetized bar,” and the misguided students vocifer- ously cheered, which caused the ven- erable professor to say: “Silence!” The definition was made and cheered, with the usual reprimand, frequently during the lectures. Once, near the conclusion, however, the students did not cheer, but Lord Kelvin promptly rapped out, “Silence!” as before. To Protect Oid Documents. Collectors of old documents, rare en- gravings, stamps or other valuable pa- pers that ought to be protected from the noxious influences of the air and from moisture can easily preserve them in their original condition by covering them with a 8 per cent solution of col- lodion. This solution can be applied with a soft brush without the slightest danger - to the objects thus" treated. This proceeding is mainly applicable where delicate colors that are soluble in water are to be preserved in their pristine freshness and beauty. The col- lodion covering is, therefore, most ex- cellent for preserving water-color paintings and pastels. Arr — © know of nothing better to tear the lining of your throat and lungs.

THE SKIRT PUZZLES WOMEN. They Cannot Remember Seeing Anything Like It Before. There are so many changing styles in skirts the average person can scarce- ly keep up with them, The very newest skirt is so decidedly new no one can remember to have seen anything like it. Not even old portraits show it or heroines in out-of-date novels. It is made absolutely without fullness in ei- ther back or front, not even so much as a wrinkle. The top is perfectly plain | and smooth, fitted to the figure only by a gore on each hip and extending to the knees in front, while the lower part is a graduated Spanish affair cut on the bias that falls easily in godets to flare at the bottom. It fastens in the front, at the left side usually, but some of them hook or button behind, still without the least sign of a fold or plait. Some of the skirts are elab- orately braided in barbarous design, win twists and turns and huge circies and .crossbars,-and some are embroid- | ered or stitched in bias rows and Greek But, however trimmed, the ncw lines. skirt is the newest thing Dame Fash- ion has produced for a long time.
