the plea thnt they cnn then bo gath

it is ly no menus certain thnt all tho

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

which aro all very long or three-quarter

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

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

that harmonizes brightly with some
color- in the mixture and that is

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
