Winter Forage. Look out for winter forage. The winter Is a long way off, but the man who puts on his thinking cap now and plans, will go through it a great deal bettor than tho man who waits and perhaps starves his cattle or per haps must sell part of them because be has not forage enough to carry them through the winter. Good Points of Fodder Corn. In summing up the advantages of the corn plant when the most has been made of It. Is as follows: More and cheaper protein. Having June conditions the year round. Storing feed in less space. Can do with less purchased feed. The producing ca pacity of farm increased. Cheapest and best feed that can be produced on the farm. A. H. Tolman. Nekoda, Pa. A Hir.t for Potato Folk. A simple yet useful labor-saving de vice for potato raisers consists of a stick with a bag, made of cheese cloth, tied on the end. The cloth bag holds parls green and Is knocked out of the bag by hitting the stick hold ing the suspended bag with another stick. By this method the labor of carrying water is saved, as the parls j green can be sprinkled when the dew J or other moisture is on the potato vines. None of the parls green Is wasted as in sprinkling or spraying fcecause the poison can be applied only when potato bugs are on the vines. London purple may aUo be wsed the same way, and is jii3t as good as parls green to kill potato bugs. Farmers' Voice. Onions Profitable. The onion Is one of the market-garden crops adapted to intensive cul-y- ture on rich alluvial soil. So large a quantity can be grown on a given area that in a favorable year a good return can be secured for the expen diture of a very large amount of la bor. The past season some of the Michigan onion growers have secured as high as eight hundred misneis per acre, which were worth at harvest time esvonty-flve cents per bushel or 1G00 per acre. A bulletin from the department of agriculture gives the following direc tions regarding the growing of this rop. Soils abounding in decomposed vegetable matter are generally the most valuable because of their loose J mechanlcnl condition, abundance of plant food and ability to retain an abundant supply of moisture. If rich, I deep, friable loam can be found on the farm it should be selected for A favorite practice In some sections Is 'now to now clover, and after the rst crop Is cut for hay, the second j-owth is allowed to rot on tho field -jpd with a heavy dressing of stable nanure is plowed under in the fall. Che following spring the ground is planted In potatoes, and the next year -onions are grown. Pear Blight. The cause of pear blight is now very well known. There Is no ques tion at all of its being a germ disease, fhe microscope has revealed its Character, and it has been isolated and examined. The spore of the fun gus that causes pear blight is both heavy 'and sticky and cannot bo felowr by the wind from one place to anoUler. It used to be supposed that it fould be blown from one tree to another and that this would -account for the sudden appearance of pear "blight after a windy and wet period. The germ of pear blight lives ovei Winter In the live wood adjoining dead wood that has been killed by blight. Insects, especially bees, sip the sap from wounds In Infected trees and lat r visit the tips of trees where small leaves are being formed or blossoms are opening. The spores of the pear blight stick to the limbs of the in sects just as pollen sticks to them. When the insects such the nectar in the flowers, the spores are rubod oft and fall Into the flower. From those epores, minutes plants of a thread like character develop. Tese plants grow .through the Bafp wood and trough the leaves and use up the life , fluid that should go to feed the Jeaves. The leaves then wilt and turn color, and we say the tree has been blighted. There fs much yet to be learned about pear blight, but the foundation has been well worked out. -Farmers' Review. Sorrel as a Pest. . In many Darts of the country -red orrel Is very abundant and wherever It 18 louna in aounaance u must ne extirpated. The farmers that have t,ppn casting about them for a means Vof getting rid of this pest will find Ihat liming in nuips BrtKuj. The writer of this was recently In a part of Illinois where red sorrel has spread everywhere. The fields are red with It and the farmers complain that It Is so abundant that it inter feres greatly with their crops. There .was one field where lime had 'been used in part of the field and the rest left without lime. In the part that j,ad been limed there was little sor rel, while on the other part It grew In abundance. It wtfs evident that It found Hme not to its liking. The popular impression is inai sor- .Garden rel indicates sour land, and this be lief doubtless has in it some truth; though sorrel will grow on land that is sweet. It is like some other plants, it has its preference, and in this case it Is for land that Is too acid for the growing of some other plants. The very fact that other plants do not do well on It helps the sorrel, for it leaves the land free for its use. Sorrel, says the Farmer's Review, can bo best fought by liming the land, if it is inclined toward sourness and then putting It into a crop that needs cultivation. We have never seen the sorrel persist un der such treatment. Wo solicit com munications from our readers on this point. Care of Manes and Tails. In response to an inquiry as to what to do to Improve rough, un even and unsightly manes and tails, a leading horse authority gives its readers tho following suggestions: "Cleanliness is the flrsft thing to be looked after. If dirt is suffered to accumulate at the roots of the long hair tho horse will rub and destroy it. Therefore, good, honest soap and water is a mighty aid to keep manes and tails looking well. A little sheep dipzenolcum is excellent, used period ically at the roots of the long hair will stimulate growth measurably and kill- or repel vermin that may have found or seek a lodgment. When a horse is nibbing his tail, which he al ways is when anything is wrong, the first thing to be done is to discover the cause. Then npply plentifully soap and water and tho solution pre scribed. One part of tho dip in 50 parts of warm water is right as to strength. Then the mane and tall should be kept clean by the use of comb and brush and more or less fre quent washing. The long hair should be dried as well as possible after each scouring, and when the dip solution is applied there Is no need to slop It over so thnt it runs down or away from the skin where it Is needed. It should be rubbed In brisk ly for a few moments. The mane and tail should .be handled gently. It is very easy to tear out great quantities of the long hair with a common curry comb, and In that very way much damage is done. A currycomb should never be used on a mane or tail. Vse the comb specially designed for the purpose. The tall should never be plaited to make it look crinkly. To plait It Is to break off the hair and in time to spoil the looks of the tail." Farm Notes. Money for wool always comes handy. A breeding ewe should be kept thrifty and strong. Valuable animals should be fed with as much regularity as their keeper. Sheep have excellent digestion and hence they utilize the food to the full est extent. If sheep are not kept constantly in good condition the quality of the wool is affected. Don't let your eggs chill; gather them three or four times a day. Chilled eggs never hatch. Desirable qualities in stock of all kinds are not necessarily connected to one locality nor one breed. Sheep will consume and convert Into a valuable product much food that would otherwise be wasted. The larger the average yield that can be produced per animal, the less the proportionate cost of produc tion. No business needs the element of perseverance more than stock rais ing; somo are discouraged before thy have fairly begun. It is not necessary that the sheep or hog house he expansive. It is a good plan tf, allow the ram to run with the flock all the time. Ground feed is more wholesome for both young and old stock than whole grains. If fed dry, the mastication Is better and the results more bene ficial. It is a good plan to encourage the fowls to roam over the orchard and pastures In search of food. They will do a good work In destroying In sects, bugs and worms. The farmer who says he has no time to care Jor his poultry is not much of a farmer. Good care and feeding of poultry more than pays the cost to any farmer. It is a good plan to mark the chick ens each year so that no mistakes will be made. A punch that will make a hole in the web of tho feet will be a convenient way of marking. The weleht of eggs Is about one and a half pounds to the dozen. A pound of eggs will go. as far as a pound of meat for any family. Think of this when you are feeding and car ing for your fowls. Alliterative Necessity. The raven was sitting on the pallid bust of Pallus. "If Poe wasn't so frightfully fond of alliteration I could sit in a much more comfortable place," he croaked. Thus, indeed, do we see that genius claims her martyrs even from the lowly. Judge. HUMAN HOUNDS. Mexican Indian Vho Are .Trained to Act au Setter Dogs. Shooting over dogs is nothing un common to the ordinary American or the ordinary Englishman, but that particular form of sport Is not com mon in Mexico. Recently an English man spent a few days hunting in the country, and. it was left for a hecien dado to show him a new side of the sport or shooting. He was Introduced to the human hounds. On those haci endas where the owner occasionally goes hunting the sport is not taken as seriously as it Is by Anglo-Saxons. Your average Mexican believes In getting enjoyment out of his morning of shooting, and he Is reasonable enough to know that a fair proportion of this sport Is lost If he tries himself out as does the average man of the United States or of England. "It was ducks we were going after that morning," said the man In tell ing the story of the human hounds. "Breakfasted a little earlier than usual, but no hurry was indulged in after that meal. After all one doesn't add to the enjoyment of the day by bolting a hurriedly gotten breakfast at an unholy hour. When we were ready to start hunting a roadster with a reputation for some speed was driv en up, and in the smart rig the animal drew we were driven down the road. It was only a mile, but there was no use walking when we could ride. Ar riving at the river whore the ducks were expected to be, the haclendado raised his hand and out of the grass there came from somewhere a peon who took chargo of the horse. "We began to hunt For a time there was nothing about the proceed ing that was different from what one undergoes In the name of spart In the United States. We crawled through the overhanging bushes, looking for the ducks. Occasionally they were found, and. then we took our shots and picked up our own ducks when we got any. We did this for about half an hour, and had passed a con siderable distance out of sight of the rig In which we had been driven to the river. The haciendado remarked that he thought we had better stop now and take the horses. "He stepped out of the brush and passed down the bank to the rood that extended along the river. He whistled and In less than half a min ute up trotted two Indians, leading two handsome horses. 'We will got on the horses and let these fellows find the ducks for us. No, you had better let him carry that for you, if it's too. heavy.' He was talking about my gun. He was probably afraid I would Bhoot him if I attempted to ride the horse and handle the gun at the same time. I was willing enough to let the Indian take the gun, for it was getting heavy, and I couldn't imagine that I would have any use for It if we were not going to hunt. "Those Indians, at a word from the haciendado, took our places in tho brush and began gazing up the river. Parting the twigs and boughs os care .fully as any pair of dogs, they began to search for signs of ducks, while we rode along the path at the foot of the embankment looking for anything but ducks. Suddenly one of the creepinp Indians stoppeds drew backward ou: of the bushes and silently signalled us that the ducks were just ahead. The two stealthily crept down the em bankment and seized our bridal reins. The haciendado ordered me down and the Indian handed me my gun. We took the places of the men In the bushes, and, as the ducks rose, took our shots. The haciendado got his duck. It fell in the water, wounded. As It began floundering toward the opposite bank he signalled one of the Indians, and Into the water the man went. No retriever knew what was expected better than he. He half swam and half waded, to the side where the duck was waddling In the brush, and brought back to us the wounded bird. "The next day we went rabbit shoot ing. We were accompanied by anoth er Indian. It sounds a little crazy, but the old fellow he was old actu ally seemed to trail rabbits. He would discover the sign of one of the animals and then, with head forward and eyes watching the ground, he would start a zigzag course that In variably wound up at some clump or grass or brush. from which tHe ani mal was started. Occasionally he would stop stock still beside a little bunch of brush, for all the world like a setter dog, and quietly declare that there was a rabbit in It. Look as closely as we would we could see no sign of rabbit, but as the Indian tap ped the brush out would run the rab bit Mexican Herald. Bread-Fruit For Us? Consul Anderson of Hangchow. thinks the pomelo or Chinese bread fruit would do well In this country. The fruit Is grown in the United States by a few persons, but not com mercially. Foreigners agree In declar ing that the pomelo Is the finest fruit in the far east. It combines the good points of 'the orange, with the good points of the grape-fruit. The Chinese say that a good-sized tree will ordinarily produce from 6000 to 7000 pomeloes. When It is consid ered that many pomeloes will run as large as seven or eight Inches In diam eter and even larger. It will be appre ciated that such a tree Is bearing a load. The fruit is more. oval than round. Us color and appearance are those of the grape-fruit. A suburban building boom In Lon don has collapsed and thousands of "villas" stand empty in the outer cir cle of the metropolis. IF The Art of Baking Peppers. There are a number of ways of bak ing peppers. They should always be stuffed when cooked In this fashion. Use only the sweet, mild peppers. Cut oft the stem end of the peppers and remove the seeds. Throw the peppers into a saucepan of boiling water and cover them. Let them stand in the back part of the stove for fifteen min utes. You may stutt the peppers with either a breadcrumb stuffing or a chicken forcemeat. For the latter use half a pint of chopped cooked chicken, half a pint of stale bread, grated fine, a level teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoon ful of pepper and a tablespoonful of chapped parsley. Mix all these ingred ients, stuffing the peppers with the mixture, after draining them carefully mixture, after draining them carefully, Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, pour it over the opening In the peppers, and sprinkle the top of the peppers with bread crumbs and bits of butter. Plat the peppers In a baking pan and bake them for fifteen minutes in a quick oven. .These peppers are very nfca with roast beef. New York Tribune. On Cleaning Silver. The methods of cleaning silver are as many as the roses of June. Silver should be cleaned as seldom as possl ble, the frequency depending upon the daily care. The gradual wear of dally use and mere washing and wiping are considerable, and when the rub bing with cleaning powders is added to that, we wonder there is any heir loom silver left. If the silver is carefully washed and wiped according to the directions and then occasionally polished with a chamois, the cleanings need not be frequent If silver tarnishes quickly. the housewife should look carefully to her traps and furnace, because this rapid discoloration is a pretty good indication of the presence of noxious gases. One of the best ways of cleaning large pieces of silver that are cov ered with a great amount of orna mentation is to place them In a kettle of warm soda water and -bring them gradually tft the boiling point. Line the kettle with pieces of cloth and lay pieces of cloth between the sil ver. Rlnce in clear, hot water and wipe with soft towels. Polish with chamois. There should be great cau tlon against using too great pressure when rubbing the silver, for, especial ly if It is old, it may be bent easily and misshapen. A most satisfactory way of clean ing silver is to rub the article all over with alcohol and polish with dry silver polish applied with a piece of soft cloth, old damask, or a silver brush when the pieces are ornament ed. Polish with old, clean damask and finally with the chamois. Pieces of silver that are seldom used should be wrapped in cotton flannel cases, never in flannels or other woolens, because they cause it to tarnish. The same may be said of steel knife blades. Woolens cause them to rust, probably by absorbing moisture. Washington Star. Peach Recipes. Peach Batter Pudding. Put into a well-buttered pudding dish one pint ripe peaches sliced. Make a batter of one heaped cupful of flour, two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a pinch of salt, two-thirds cupful of milk and one well beaten egg. Stir In three tablespoonfuls of melted but ter and beat well. Pour over the peaches and bake half an hour In a hot oven. German Peach Cake. Make a rich baking powder biscuit dough and roil out in a sheet to fit a long biscuit pan. It should not be more than half an inch thick. Brush the top with butter and cover with slices of peaches arranged in symmetrica rows, or halved peaches rounded side up. Sprinkle generously with sugar, cover with another tin and bake in a hot oven for twenty or thirty min utes. The Idea of covering li to cook the fruit but not reduce it to a pulp or dry out too much. This makes a good light dessert, with or without cream. Some cooks add a beaten egg to the milk when stirring into the dough. Peach Dumplings. Sift together a pint of pastry flour, and a saltspoon ful of salt and two level teaspoonfuls baking powder. Rub into the flour a level tablespoonful of butter, then moisten with a half cup of milk to which one well beaten egg has been added. Roll into a sheet with as lit tle handling as possible, leaving the paste about quarter of an inch thick. Cut into six squares. Have ready a dozen peaches cooked for five minutes In a syrup made with one cup of water and two cups of sugar. Put two large tablespoonfuls of the peach es in each portion, of pastry and fold up In it. Have ready six pieces bf :otton cloth cut in eight inch squares, then butter and flour and tie the dumplings up in them. Drop into a broad shallow kettle of boiling water and cook rapidly for half an hour. Turn out on a hot platter and serve with wine or lemon sauce. Peach dumplings may also be made like apple dumplings and baked In the oven.

There is nothing that the young girl needs more surely than a long coat that can be worn over any gown and In all weather. This one is among the latest shown and Is smart and becoming, as well ns abso lutely practical. As Illustrated, it is made of covert cloth, stitched with bcldlng silk, but there are a great many other materials that are equally ap propriate. If designed to wear in stormy weather crnvenette cloth .and the various rain proof fubrlcs, which are many of them exceedingly hand some and can be used for fair days as well as foul, are to be commended, while if it is designed for general wear there are all the cloaklngs from which to choose. The coat is made with fronts nnd back, fitted by means of shoulder and. under-arm seams. The back is laid in tucks that give the effect of a double box pleat and which nre stitched to the waist line, providing graceful fulness below, while the fronts are made snug by means of darts from the shoulders. There are comfortable patch pockets and the neck Is finished with a quite novel but absolutely flat collar, which while It adds largely to style. In no way Interferes with comfort. The sleeves are among the favorite ones of the season. The quantity of material required for the medium size (fourteen years) is six and one-half yards twenty-seven, three and one-half yards forty-four or fifty two inches wide. Ketnra of the Brallop.

I have seen some pretty ones with wide flat-topped1 crowns narrowing In their base, and brims turned up and shelv ing somewhat outwards.

An evening dress of rose moussellne shows a skirt formed entirely of overlapping scalloped flounces, each of these flounces being edged with a narrow ruffle with a cord In the top and a fold at the bottom. Similar fluffs form the elbow sleeves nnd adorn the decol letage. The whole tiling looks -like a shower of rose petals. For the Little Old. For the littlest girl's decollette stock ings are necessary, at least'as long as fall weather lasts, and these are ac companied by strap slippers of black patent leather or white or colored kid. Little boys wear this same style of heelless slipper, though it Is generally of black patent leather, says the Pitts burg Dispatch. Shirt Waist or Blouse. The simple shirt waist always fills a need and is always In demand, let there be as many blouses as may be. This one Is among the best that the season has to offer, and can be made with the roll-over collar that is so very generally well liked, or with a regula tion stock, as preferred. In this in. stance the material is a heavy cotton vesting and the lining is not used, but there Is a fitted foundation which will be found desirable for silk and wool fabrics. The waist is exceedingly smart ns well as simple, and is tucked after a most satisfactory nnd becoming manner. Cashmere, henrletta, taffeta and the like are all suitable, as well as the cotton and linen wnlstlng that so many women like throughout the entire year. The lining is smoothly fitted and is closed at the front, but separately from the outside. The waist itself is made with the fronts and bnck, and is fin ished with hems at the front edges in place of the regulation box pleat The sleeves, however, nre In shirt waist style and are gathered into straight cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and one-eighth yards twenty-one, three and one-eighth yards twenty-seven or two and one fourth yards forty-four inches wide. ! The Adjustment of Trimming-. Most frequently, and on hats of the greater number of shapes, the trim ming is at the left side. Whether concerning the exterior, or underneath the brim, this rule for the most part holds good; while the poising on the outside may be sometimes toward the front or toward the back, or occasion ally at the front with the cache pelgne quite around the back and toward the left ear of the wearer.
