    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

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.

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.

New York City. 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.

Scallops are back. Flounces . are
scalloped and edged with little ruffles,

Toques are not omitted from the

plain with velvet, they are sometimes
rendered very ornate by having a
wide band of handsome galon sewn

cal for a good part of the time, and
since fashions come from France. 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. Milliner
