There aro many reasons why persons who start into funning should commence with berry bushi a an 1 vines rather than with trees, if their object be tho supplying of their own tables with fruit. Strawberry plants como into bearing tho year after they nro sat out, while goose berry, currant, rnsperry nnd black berry bushes will produco good crops in two years from the time thoy aro planted, provided they receive suit able attention. Tho cost of cuttings of grapes, cur rants nnd gooseberries is very small, they can bo sent through tho mails at cheap rates, and they nre easily rooted by cutting them in suitable lengths nnd netting thmu in a trench that can bo inado by simply forcing a spade in tho soil. All but ono or two of the upper buds should bo covered with soil, which should bo crowded close to thoui with the foot. Iu midsummer, it is best to givo them n partial shado. Th:'s may bo dono by means of a fence board fastened to supports on tha south or oast side of tho row. Tho board should stand about two inches from tho ground, and four inches from tho cuttings. If the soil is rich, is kept free from weeds and grass nnd is covered with mulch tho rooted cuttings can bo transplanted the following yenr. Cuttings obtained iu tho fall may bo bo kept over tho winter by placing them in tho cellar or by burying them iu tho ground deep onough to protect them from tho frost. FATTENING fJWINK AT SMALL COST. Haphazard methods must not pro vail if we would fatten Bwiuo quickly and economically, writes 51. S. Tor kins in the American Agriculturist. We should food all tho fat-producing food that can be proporly digested and assimilated, but there is grout danger of excess iu this direction. Toomucu will cause tho hogs to be come cloyed, they will lose their ap petites, tho digestive orgaus will bo overworked, nnd a general inaction of tho animal's functions will ensue, re sulting iu a Iobs of weight instead of a gain, and thus defeating the feeder', purposo. Of course, corn is tho usual fattening grain, but it is no highly oarbonaeoous that whou fed exclu sively, the dilliculties mentioned ubovu aro itlmoHt sure to appear. Hogs will eat und profitably digest more corn if ouo-fourth of tho grain ration is com posed of wheat bran. Hoots must not bo forgotten ; turnips, beets, potutous or carrot, whuu mashed or sliced, afford a most desirable supplement to a doit of corn. Thoy aro cooling und laxative, and materially aid and pro mote digestion. I have 110 doubt that nwiue will fatten much more rapidly aud at loss cost whim allowed a little bran and a few roots daily, than when confined to a diet of corn. Tho sea son b.st adapted to the fattening of animals is tho moderately cool weather of uutuuiu, uvoidiug tho waste neces sary iu severe weather oausud by tho increased quantity of food which U required to inuiutuiu the animal boat. HEAVEN IN ItOlUliS. In tho opiuiou of soino of our most omiueiit veterinarians heaves in horses is caused by feeding course, indigesti ble, aud musty food, these causing au irritation of tho uorves which supply tho walls of the stoiuauh, aud this ir ritation is extended to tho brnnches of tho nerves which supply the lungs.nnd this of eonrso nfl'ects tho breathing, producing what is later called brokou wind. When tho disense or nfi'ection hns reached this stage the lungs will hnvo lost much of their power of con traction, owing to tho degeneration ol tho hir cells ami tho paralysis of tho miiFcnlnr timties. Medicines will do very little for an animal affected with heaven in either tho earlier or later stages, but care in feeding and the kind of food given is everything, nnd while it may not bo possible to euro a long standing case of heaves, the dis tressing symptoms can always be re lieved by close attention to food nnJ water. First remove nil musty faulty food of all kinds and givo that which in less bulky, rich, nutritious and readily digested. Hvo corn nnd onts about equal parts ground together and uso this on cut hay slightly moistened. Well cured cornfodder may bo given nt night for tho animal to pick upon when hungry. Or tho animal mny havo clean lriy instead, but nil kinds of dusty, musty food should bo care fully avoided. Besides being careful to avoid nil faulty food do not allow tho animal to driuk much wntcr just before being taken out for work, bul givo water before feeding. New York Sun. FARM AND OARPEN NOTES. Fall planting of stone fruits is not advisable. riastcr scattered on tho stable floor neutralizes bad odors. Tensing horses r"uders them vicious; do not permit it. Go into winter quarters with as mnny young boes ns possible. It is claimed thnt no enso of tuber culosis has ever been known among tho Devon breed. To make a good driver a man must be evenly balanced, lovel-liendod.hava a good temper, brains aud nn nptuesa for the business.

Tho Mediterranean varieties of fowls lay whito oggs nud tho Asiatic varieties br6wn ones. Tho cross breeds lay eggs varying in tint from cream to brown. There is more profit in an orchard thaniu a grain field of equal sizo, yol tho averago farmer always neglects tho former and bestows all his ener gies on tho latter. If you have common hens which tic not pay, gradj thorn up with thor oughbred lanles; then clean up aud food less corn, and you will soon be on the road to better results. It is not difficult to keep hens and sheep from getting sick, but it is not sooasytoouro them whon thoy nre sick. It is usually chenper and better to kill them than to try to save them. As tho results of its investigations tho Central California Beekeeper'e Association recommends thirty drops of carbolic ncid to a gallon of extract od honey in all cases of boe paralysis. Feed tho fowls whole corn at uight if you wish, but in the morniuj let them have wheat, oats, bran or corn meal, mixod with the soraps from the table ; mix to a stiff dough with water or milk.

IIASDSOMR CAPES AND WRAPS VOll THK WINTER, A Cape Thnt Is Stylish In F.lthr-r Cold or Rain Ilrllllnnt Ornamen tation for Hats Cold Weather Fashions. 8 the season advances the gowns grow more startling nnd handsome. The wraps and conts for the street. which aro all very long or three-quarter length, even to pelerines, are par ticularly handsome. One very beautiful cape is of enrly, jetty Fcrsian lamln It reaches, in full pleats, to the waist, but is so full it stands out from the body. From the shoulders flare a wide berthe of the fur, which terminates in two great rosettes of fur in front. A boa effect is gained by two pieces of Persian lamb dropping from these rosettes to almost the knees, and finished with a ball trimming of black silk. A deep yoke and a high Elizabethan collar, which extends down the front between the strips of black fur, forming a vest, are of ermine. The comfortable cape in the illustra tion is one of the most popular, and deservedly so, oi the garments for general wear. It makes the very best sort of a traveling wrap, serving equally -veil for cold or rain. For walking, shopping or marketing noth ing bettor could be desired. The double pair tweeds are most nsod in making it, but any of the heavier wool materials are appropriate. It may be lined or not. Plaids or red are both much nsed for lining. When A TWO STYLISH CAPES. This is an elaborate donble cape re produced from the Mail and Express. Upper cape of velvot, with graduated trimming of jet, in rows. Under cape of heavy white satin brocade, shot with gold aud blue. The wrinkled collar nnd rosettes are of chiffon. unlined the edges may be bound with braid, or hemmed and stitched. Short mantles give more scope for novelty, the shapes and mode of trim ming varying considerably. One of the best models of this kind is made of the richest black velvet, and has the uppcaran.ee of being fashioned with an over-jacket, which is elabor ately embroidered by hand with jot and edged with skunk. STVLISH ErriTEB IN COLD OR ItATV. Tight-fitting jackets are not very much worn. Where t'uey are used they will be of velvet, very voluminous of sleeve and very lavish of trimming, long jet fringes being principally worn. The cloth coat will be rele gated to traveling and bad weather. Three-decker capes are still nltra siuart, the wonderful, putty-colored affairs, -with their serpentine "strapped" garniture, being replaced by those in navy-blue, bluok and doep purple. Purple and violet, und every gradation of "wine" color, ure pre destined to be fashionable hues. They are depressing tones, mostly unbecom ing both to blondes aud brunettes, and, except in velvet, have a pecu liarly dowdy and ageiug effect. The guyety of scarlet or crimson, the olearuess of grueu and the solidity of durk blue, perhaps caressed into life by a touoh of vivid orange, make them oommenduble to the neutral tinted days of winter. onNAirEs.-Tj.noji ros women's hats, Hat bauds bava become to lika oow fflfl lnrs thnt there- to a chanc for the in genious woman of small means to make one accessory serve a double purpose. Where in the beginning a simple band was tied to hold the hat in shape and make it stay on there is now an elabo rate combination of chiffon, velvet and jewels thnt serves ornamental ef fect only. Thoy nre so elaborate in their ornamentation that it is ridinn lous to call them bands, so why not style thorn collars? They are made of brilliant satin or velvet, and set with buckles at cither side or with a long curved ono in front, and aro drawn out into big side loops or rosettes. Then they are embellished with lace or chiffon. Thnt sounds much like the description of a collar, so why not be wise and have a new hat ban! made adjustable so it can" be worn either as a collar or a hat band? It is these lit tle tricks that permit small incomes to make a goodly showing. So many hats are large that the smaller sines seem to have been over looked, except for theater and even ing wear, but a small hat is entirely safe from insignificance nnd nnfash ionablencsa if trimmed with a plume or two. A hat worn' in New York illustrates this point, showing a wee black felt toque with bowf of the) same. Two ostrich plumes rise at the back, their ends- ourling prettily as the present fashion demands. Even cock's feathers are- now t wised up tightly into scrolls in response- to- this rule. A rainy day in December will bring nnourliug by the wholesale. To head off. this catastrophe- there is offered for damp weather a glorified tam made of the material of tho gown, especially when that is a heather mix ture tweed. The tam is set en a twist that harmonizes brightly with some color- in the mixture and that is I Double cape of nimftlava cloth, or serfre. The lining, a pretty plaid, which, with tho fancy hood, lends it quite a pretentious air. caught here and there through buckles. A stiff wing or a flat loop of a velvet bow pushes the tam well up on one side, an end of velvet coming down against tho hair to obviate any sawed oil look. COWN8 IN WOOL CHECKS. Some of the prettiest costumas o! wool sent over from Paris are in checks, which take the ttlace ot tha 'check silks. The skirt is severely plain, flaring decidedly at the bottom, where it is finished by a band of jot galoon. The huge sleeves are o the checked wool finished by a narrow band of sable at the waist. The bodies as far as the bust line is of plaid wool edged with fur at the top, aud lapping diagonally across the front, caught down by three large cabochous or small hemispheres of jet spangles. The upper part of bodioe is of Liberty satin, which is now mnde at Lyons. A touch of this '.brilliant satin, which comes in all the dull artistic eolors aa well as in rich tints, is teen on a large number of new costumes. It is an ap propriate trimming for children's aud young ladies' dresses, quite supersed ing moire for that purpose, though ths matron will be likely to seleot a richer fubrio like velvet or moire. The ca bochons of jet on this dress are especially noteworthy. They average au inch and a half in diamoter, and are used not only as ornaments, taking the place of buttons on the iront oi the dress, but also on hats. fiTTtrPED BILKS IS BTTLB. The latest offerings in silks in dicate that stripes will be much worn, and that bright colors will be favored. Taffetas are strewn with tiny flowers, and striped watered silk is abundaut. For ball, reception and eonoert gownt satin damasks, brocaded with tiny rosebuds in from one to four tints, are the newest. The old fashioned silk ren does sot teem to be able to hold liking, and Las been put forth again and again without success. ISIack brocaded tilks ate of very rich ap pearance, and are made up elaborately. Among other new materials the satin damask ure shown, with black ground brocaded in colors, whioh are suitable for elderly women, and oth ers have a colored ground figured with black. In another the black ground is broken by irregular silvery spots, and over the whole is a design in gray. Dove gray faille is brocaded with satiu vines and leaves that show very high lights. Another bluok silk has corn flower blue garlands eutwin ing a satiu medallion, brocaded with one small rosebud in the centve. Al together, there is a chauoe for evory taste and there is also great danger, to the plumpest purses. NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. PREPARING TO ATTEND. the Ebb Tide of renalone-Fat obeyed Orders.

This will bo the llrat time since the war that on encampment of tho Grand Army has been held south ot the Ohio river. It Is also the first time that preslnn nnd hesrtjr Invi tation has been extended by the Confederates to their old opponents to meet them on the old llk-htlng Kround and taken drink out the wme canteen. There have been many regi mental reuulons nnd Individual meetluir, all ot which were of the most pleasaut character. The old tighter love to meet each other talk over old days when leadnn balls were more In vogue tban whisky balls; and when lively f.mt races on both shies were frequent, and neither overanxious to Ret near enough to each other In small parties to ensure an en forced trip either too far south or north. When the National Kucampment nt Pitts burst decided unanimously upon Louisville as the place ot the next meeting there was uot a comrade In the order thnt did not mnke np his mind to go If alive. In person, or If lead In spirit. And the result was the wise ones said little, but "anwed wood." Thetrip for thousands In the tar North, East and West will be rather expensive, and those now "hollerln" had better stop nud quietly save (heir pennies. They are promised the lowest fares ever kuown nnd the moat liberal enter tainment. Htlll there nre a thousand and one ways where a few extra dollars- will eome In very hnndy. There will be many Ide trips from Loulavllle to a score of bat tle fields and oilier luteretlng localities, nnd there will be plenty of Intelligent contra bands ready with their mules to lurnish cheap trnnaportatlon. There are many posts that lutend to go In a body and thoao thnt aro hoarding their money for the special occasion are thoae who whon the time co:n will be found with their lamps trhnmod aud burulng nud oil to spare, while those whj dolsy matters will be foiiuu short, and when the time Is at baud, will be vainly hunting oil. Department Commander Shells In a recent order refers to this matter la strong term, and urges every poat inteudlug to e' to com mence Its preparations at once.
