GOOS IM WINTER.
To get eggs in winter it is necessary
to do everything possible to get and
keep the hens under the best condi
tions for laying. In other words, the
poultry-house must be mado warm and
dry, wind and waterproof, and tho
hens fed regularly on a variety of
food. Confinement is as irksome to
fjw'a as it is to men,and whilo a neces
sity when snow covers the ground, it
will be much less felt it the poultry
house is large euough to allow them
to move about freely, than if they are
kept busy from mornin; till night,
scratching in the earth or straw for
oats.
Many people think it desirable to
warm poultry houses artificially. This
is quite a mistaken idea. If the cracks
are filled up aud the house made wind
and water proof nothing more will be
necessary. Artificial heat will tend to
enfeeble the birds aud render thorn
more liable to disease, and will cause
the lice to multiply at an alarming
rate.
After all hens are much like their
owners. To do their best th ey reqnire
to be made comfortable. Luxurious
living is apt to make them grow fat
and lazy and cease egg production at
the very time wbon it is most wanted.
The effects of coddling are about as

TBAIKIXO THE COLT.
from the day he is foaled, a oolt
should be gradually accustomed to
obedieuoe. Feed him a lump of sugar
that he may weloomu your coming,
then gently handle him, moving him
bout, and he will soon obey many
commands. He must be gently mas
tered from the first by a man who is
cool-hea.lod and pleasant, never hasty,
excited or angry. ' Traia him to the
halter, to currying a strap aud t length
the burnous and bridle.
Backing is ono of the most difllcnlt
ldssons. Stand behind the colt and
slightly to one side, so that the lines
passing through tho lug strap will
draw across hia quarter. While dis
tinctly saying tho word "Back," pull
the reins backward and a little to one
sido with a quick steady pull, nnd in
stantly slnckon. At first this will only
turn him to one side, but by stroking
his head, and feeding him a morsal,
ho can be pulled a little to tho other
side in tho same way, and will soou
respond to the roins. Next, by stand
ing diroctly behind him he may be
trainod to back, always slacking tho
rein tho moment tho colt begins to
back, so that ho will learn that he cnu
roliovo tho backward pull by backing.
Finally, tench him to back at tho word
without tho pull or with ouly tho
slightest pressure. Do a very littlo at

VAI.fE OF CORN STALKS.
Farmers nro beginning to realize tho
valuo of corn stalks ns food for furm
animals. The great drought has com
pelled them to recognizo tho worth of
this hitherto wasto product on many
farms, aud if moro care were exercised
iu socuring tho corn stalks in good
condition they would bo iu more de
mand. Professor Henry, of tho Wisconsin
Experiment Station, recently con
ducted somo experiments to test tho
profit in cutting up dry corn stnlkn.
Four good cows woro fed for two weeks
on stalks that bad been run through a
cutter and then for two weeks on
wholo stalks, tho same amount of corn
meal and bran being led iu both cases.
It was found that 721 pounds of cut
stnlks mndo ns much milk nnd butter
as 1,133 pounds of whole stalks. This
meant a saving of thirty-six per cent
by passing tho fodder through the cut
tor. Tho wholo stalks were largely
wasted, for tho cattlo could not eat
them as readily ns thoy ato tho cut
stnlks. Not only was this great saving
mado in feed, but tho remnants left
by the cattlo aro far better for bed
ding. To bo at its bast corn fodder should
bo cut into pieces less than an inch in
length, crushul or shred led, and fed
with somo kind of grain, moistened
enough to stick to the stalks, and fed
at least twice a day. For roughago
tho stalks cau bo thrown out to bo
eaten whole. Iu this case they can be
mado much moro palatable by sprink
ling over them water strongly impreg
nated with salt. Cornstalks aro liable
to heat aud mildew and should bo fod
out before spring. It is always ad
visable to uso tho poorest fodder dur
iug tho wiuter, whun tho stock wille.it
heartily and enjoy that which they
will hardly touch Inter on wheu spring
weather renders their appetites some
what capricious.
FARM AND OARDEN NOTES.
Shelter and care are cheaper than
food for animals.
Clover hay and oorn fodder are the
best feeds for miloh cows.
Turkeys of about ton pounds in
weight find the readiost sale.
Give tho December calves bright
hay, skim milk and middlings.
Iu feeding cut greeu bones allow

Fattoning sheep do best confined in
small pens without the use of yards.
Horses are fond of crauberries and
a pint of them ouoe or twice a week
makes the coat glossy.
Milk is a great egg food, as it is
chemically similur to tho white of an
egg, beiug rich in albumen.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after thoy come into bearing.
As a rule, aged brood sows are the
most prolitio, the best mothers and
produce the most vigorous offspring.

Finely out straw, wet with hot
water, plenty of meal mixed with it,
and allowed to soften from one feed

Fashionable and Fascinating
Hats Economical Fichu.
WE are just now between the
seasons of winter and
spring, when every inven
tive feminine mind is
called into action to create a costume
which, Mys the New York Mail and
Express, will be suitable to counter
act the fads and fancies of that change
able jade, "The Weather." A special
inspiration upon this subject is fur
nished by the accompanying double
column illustration. Here you have
a moire antique silken skirt which
hangs smoothly from the waist, and
in case of being caught suddenly in
inclement weather the wearer can fold
it gracefully about her and defy
storm, mud and even slush. The
beauty of the silk is that no matter
how much dust or rain falls on it the
surface remains smooth, glossy and
untarnished. Should any chemical
seriously change the color for the in
stant a littlo Peruvian bark juioe will
revive the old time beauty. For a
jacket fashion a princess waist, with
shirred belt and yoke and large
sleeves. This should be trimmed with
French braid. The over-jacket is of
plush. It can be of any dark rich
tint The wide Directoire collar gar
niture makes the plump woman as thin
as Bernhardt. A reader who enjoys
by nature those slender proportions
should widen the collar at tho waist
and shoulders. The dainty vest can
best be manufactured of passemen
terie, and of this trimming there are
no loss than twenty different kinds
this season. Jet passementerie, how
ever, is always rich, graceful and ele
gant in appenranoe.
The costume is snrmounted by jet
toque, simple in fashion but very
fetching and natty. The novel gloves
are ornamentod with jet. This last
foible is the fancy of that clover Eng
lish dame, Mrs. Boerbnbm Tree, who
has arrived in New York from Lon
don. It may be said in regard to this
costume that social leaders are deeply
intcrostod in the creution of artistio
wear for inolcmetit weather, and are
all models of grace, culture and fash
ion in this particular field.

steel aequins are nntarnishabte and
make a most brilliant and effective
adornment for black, white or pink or
gray satin, indeed, any color ) yellow
satin peppered with scintillating steel
sequins is especially gratifying. The
modish skirts, which are more like an
umbrella than ever, fitting tightly
around the hips, growing fuller at the
knees and finishing in a hem of enor
mous width, are chiefly ornamented
with radiating lines of open work em
broidery of burnished steel, which is
effectively introduced into the seams.
An ideal gown for a handsome matron
is a tnrquolHO blue velvet, with skirt
and bodice absolutely plain and re
lieved only by great puffed sleeves of
white satin, embroidered with mutallio
sequins, and oabochons, whioh cluster
thickly at the elbow and from thence
radiate toward the ehouldor. Among
other enchanting extravagances of the
season is cloth of gold, whioh is used
with skirts of the subdued aud unob
trusive richness of poult de soie. Of
course, in using those glittering orna
ments and rich cloths eoonomy has
but little opportunity to display itself.
It is in the smart flohu for evening
wear shown in the illustration that
economy may "get in its fine work."
The deep frill is of ecru net Venioe
lace. The arrangement is exceeding
ly simple. It is finished in the baok
with at rosette and follows the outline
of the corsage, making a pretty frame
for a decolletogo. The bow, with
stole ends, is one of the favorite adorn
ments of the season and can be of any
color the wearer prefers. As black
and white is destined to be in favor
nntil the Parisians and Bussians doff
their mourning, black satin and black
velvet ribbons are greatly in vogue.
This flohu, the simplicity of which is
characterized by its name, "La Mar

skillful housewife.

EIQH-CTT EVENING DRESSES.
Among the notabla changes in fash
ion that are gradually finding their
way to general favor are the high-cut
evening dresses or those having this
effect. Some of the waists are out low
after the niual style, but are filled in
with appropriate material, which it
brought high around the throat and
finished with a jeweled or other fanoy
collar. A handsome dress of striped
silk has a low-out waist with the neck
filled in with chiffon of the color ol
the lightest stripe in the costume.
This is gathered to a band at the
throat, and over it is worn any of the
popular stock collars or velvet band
embroidered in jewels. A blsok-vel-vet
dress has the back and front in
V-shape, with the fllling-in of cream
white chiffon. The velvet is heavily
wrought with finest out jet in large
arabesques. A pattern of this garni
ture covers one side of the front, nar
row bands finish the seams of the sides
of the skirt and a pointed belt with
long fringe of jet finishes the waist
line. The shoulders are embroidered
in smaller arabesques and a deep fringe
is set on along the edge of the open

wrought with jet has a very fine fringe
of beads alt around. The large sleeves
are gathered into bands at tne elbows

for n purpose of that kind, There was simply
a ateamboat InndlRii, with woodnd bluffs ris
ing a huudred feet shots the river, a wagon
rond loading out past a small cabin, and a
hewed log ui'etliig-houe forlornly standing
among the trees, and now and then a little

bushisi Tho t eih'rnl troni had not been
brought there with view to Inviting an at
tni k, or with any idea on the part of their
commanders that an stuck would bs mado.
They were merely getting r-ady to march
twenty mile nntos the country nnd under
take thn capture of Corinth, whom His Con
feib'rati'S wto strongly fortified, and should
have waited, ncourdliig to the science of war,
to he attacked.
It was the unexpected that happened when
the Federal camps were nrousod that mo
mentous Hundny morning by the sounda that
denoted tho beginning of the battle. The
aurprlm was complote, writes Mr. Henry
King In the Ht. Louis (llohe-Demoorat, lu the
aenM) that a gennrnl eugagnmeut had not beeaj
anticipated or auspeuted, aud that thet'on
federatn army wna atlll bellevod to lie at
Corinth, wheu In fact It was Just beyond the
picket line, and had been there during nil of
the previous night. It seems strange that
such movement, Involving a four day's
march of about 40,01.0 men on a main traveled
road, was not discovered; but the fact re
mains that It was not, and the explanation la
lo be tound In Its reversal of a fundamental
rule of military science, whereby the Federal
commanders were thoroughly deceived.
There had been several severe skirmishes In
Hie preceding two or three dnys, nnd reports
ol the preaeuce of heavy bodies of the enemy
at outlying points; but this was Interpreted
to mean nothing morethau revonnolssanee In
force. On Kunday, Hhermnn wrote to Orntit,
"I do not appreht-nd anything llkean attack
upon our position," though theeueniywas
then almost wlthlu striking distance; nnd on
the snme day (Irani telegraphed to Hslleck.
"The main force of the enemy la at Corinth,"
adding at a Inter bour, "I bate senroely the
fulntest Idea of an attack (general one; being
made upon us."
"The fact Is," Grant frankly aays In his
Memories, "I regarded the campaign we
were engnged In as su offenslts one, and bad
no Idea that the enemy would leave strong
entrenchments to take the Initiative when bs
knew ba wotdd be attacked where bs was If
lie remained." He Is not quite so candid,
however, when he goes on to say that, not
withstanding this view, "every percautloa
was taken nnd every effort made to keep ad
vised of all the movements of the enemy."
As a matter of fact, there was no Federal
cavalry In front of the lines on aeouting duty
and no kind of entrenchments for the pro
tection of soldiers In case of an attack. The
enemy marched unobserved to a point within
two miles of the Federal tents and formed
three lines of battle, extending along the
wbolo Federal front. Even alter the attack
was made and several regiments bad been
driven back It wot not believed that a regu
lar battle was In progress. The orders for
reinforcements were given slowly, and It was
two or three hours before the true situation
wna fully realized. Thus a decided advan
tage was gained by the Confederates at the
start If this attack bad been apprehended,
Ibey would not bate been permitted to "get
the bulge" In that way, and would not have
found so many of tbs Federal troopa la whnt
Uragg called "costumes better fitted to tbs
bed-cltamber than to tbs battle-field."

tbe vicinity, and so bad ordered bis
men to put two dny's rations In their haver
sacks, aud tbls was the only regimen: that
bad a ration for tbe battle. The tents of tbe
oomniaads first attacked were riddled
with shells and bullets before tbs troops
oould seize tbelr arms and fall Into line. It
was a fcena of general confusion ami
dismay, and tbe camps were hastily
abandoned. But tbe shock of astonlsnment
was lojn over. Tbe momentum and per
sistence of tbe assault left no room for doubt
that the army from Corinth was there. Lines
of resistance were rapidly formed, the furious
onset was obe;ked to some exteut, and then
ensuied a conteat that aixnifled a square
test of personal courage and endursno. with
out any chance of invasion or mitigation.
Tbe long roll was sounded, In one after
another of tbe camps of the different Federal
divisions as tbe fighting at the front became
more and more aevere. It was a beautfoJ
morning of cloudless aky and general sun
shine, ushering In a day that iu to be made
hideous with smoke and tumult and all
the elements of a oapaolous tragedy. There
was a hasty buckling on. of cartridge-boxei

ing bayonets were visible In all directions.
The cannonading gradually Increased lu
volume, and at Intervals there would be ad
ded a heavy crash ot musketry. Orderlies
and staff officers galloped down tbe road and
disappeared on by-paths among the trees.
It was between two and three miles from ths
front to tbe rear, and la the whole apace
there was a scene of commotion out of which
a regiment would emerge from time to time
and march toward the Dhiloh meeting-bouse,
where tbs conflict was raging. Strains of
