WOMEN) THEIR FjDS, BUSINESS CttRDS NEFF Feeding tho Tigs. Vests at the Indiana Experimental Station Indicate that pigs make bet ter gains when the grain is fed dry than they do when It is mixed with Water. This would suggest that those who take the trouble to mix grain with water before feeding .waste their time, and, to a slight de gree, the food value ot the grain. Epltomlst. Thorough Churning. In order to have as thorough churning bb possible, the tempera ture ot the cream should not be over fifty-eight degrees. While the but ter Is In tho granular form, the Churning is to be stopped. Then draw the buttermilk from the churn and wash, then butter and salt while yet In the granular form. For the taste ot most people, one ounce salt to the pound of butter is about right. Epltomlst. Diversified Farming. Xn diversified farming it is essen tial that we give due attention to the claims ot each branch that is being followed and seek to harmonize them all. We must select only those branches which will fit nicely Into our scheme ot farm management and eliminate every waste. If a man fully intends to gain something by adopting the practice of a soil robber and buying large farms, creaming them and selling to another farmer, he may Bucceed in making money. It is little wonder that American farmers are often called soil skinners. They make more money as a rule than the farmer who niita hia monev Into improvements, for they have more cash to speculate with. But which men ?re the most useful to their community: The one who puts bis whole time and energy into glean ing every poesible dollar from the soil and putting it in the savings bank, or the man who improves his property, adds to the assessment list of his township and helps to increase the valuation of adjoining farms? Epltomist. Snving Farm Seeds. The farmer and the gardener can often save money by saving his own seed instead of being obliged to go to the seedsman for his supply each spring, and he can also have better seeds, and increase his crop each year If he takes sufficient care in selecting bis seed stock to grow it from. There Is a value in breeding seed for better crops as well as in breeding for better stock, and while those who are mar ket gardeners generally know this and save their seeds accordingly, many farmers pay little attention to the matter. ' it is said tnat in one or our leading corn growing States the crop per acre and tha total value lot the crop in the State has been increased, the latter to the value ot millions of dol lars per year, by the efforts of one man, who offered premiums for the best ears ot seed corn sent in to the State and county fairs. Such interest was taken in the mat'.er that many strove for the prizes, and it is said that single ears from those that re ceived the highest prizes were sold at what seems extravagant prices, even as high as $25 per ear having been reported in one case, and from $1 to $5 per ear in many cases. American Cultivator. Advisability of Hanting Trees. From time to time this department has contained advice regarding the Importance of farmers planting a for est upon their now waste lands. Especially iu the New England StateB, upon the deserted farms, we see many so-called pastures that are practically a useless waste, that could be planted, as we might say. Into a chestnut orchard. Not such a great while ago we gave a very full account as to how this fruit might be grown profitably, and anyone familiar with city streets in the fall of the year could readily judge for themselves their standing from a commercial point of view. Right here is a way of having, after a tew years, an almost sure crop every fall that is almost sure to hold its price, and then after the trees seem to outrun themselves can be sold at fully fifty times their original value. This country alone is said to be using 422,400,000 railroad ties on Its railroads, and these ties have to be replaced about every five years. This alone ought to suggest to every farmer the fact tuat in time to come there is almost sure to be a shortage of timber suitable tor this purpose, as the railroads are continually on the increase and the timber lands de creased by the woodman's axe or the 'ravages of forest fires. Of course the r.:-gument could be used that in the coui-Be of time some thing will turn up that will take the place of wooden tics. This may be a possibility, but we should remember that nothing is a certainty. Business men take risks in all sorts of things; but the planting of these timber trees we could hardly call a risk, for it the trees when matured could not be trrued into money as railroad .ties. they could surely be by using them for any ot the numerous things that call for good sound timber. Weekly Witness. Flies and Sheep. . Fly time is on, and sheep, especial ly rams, should be watched closely for maggots. All rams should have liberal quantities of pine tar around the horns, which will prevent the fly from depositing her eggs. When present turpentine or dip will dislodge them and pine tar will keep them away, writes an Ohio breeder in the National Stockman and Farmer. The, leng and middle wool ' sheep are more annoyed by the common house fly than the Merinos and should have a dark woods or an underground cellar or cave in which to spend the day. A single fly will prevent one of these sheep from thriving a whole day. The owner ot a grade flock of Shropshlres once took the writer to the mouth ot a cave in which his sheep spent the daylights of summer, secure from flies and in a climate very nearly like the native conditions of the Shropshlres of England. Ha lamented the loss of the manure, but the loss was more than made up in the condition of the sheep. Look out for the gadfly. Her eggs are deposited in the nostrils of the sheep and almost as soon as depos ited move up into the Blnuses ot the head, and the sheep has grub in the head. Tar on the nose or even dust will warn the mother fly that such a place Is not a promising home for her future family. In the absence of bare ground a furrow plowed in the pasture will supply the dust. Sheep salted in a V-shaped trough with tar on sides of trough is practiced as a preventive by some flockmasiers. Sometimes I think that between gadflleB, stomach worms, lung worms indicated by the sheep standing with their heads close together with their noses on the ground and by running ticks foot rot and blizzards we have a strenuous time, - . Poultry Pointers. Whitewash is better than paint for tho interior of a poultry house. Be liberal in the use of whitewash, and put in a little pulverized glue, thor oughly dissolved in warm water. . Do not be deceived into believing that practical Qualities and fancy points can not be bred in the same bird. This is a favorite cry with some people who can't raise good ones and who want to Bell their culls. If you feed your chicks around the kitchen door, you may be sure that they will always hang around there watching for something to eat. Keep them away from tho house by feeding tham away from the house. Keep the drinking vessels filled with fresh water. More or less food escapes from the beak ot the little chick while it is drinking. This food soon becomes sour in the warm weather and water is foul. When you whitewash the Interior of the poultry house mix a liberal amount of some good disinfectant or crude carbolic acid with the white wash just before applying it. This will insure the destruction of all lice and mites with which it comes in contact. Be sure that the roosting quarters are well ventilated at this time ot the year. Pure air is free and inex pensive and will enter every nook and corner ot the poultry house, if it is permitted. It is one of the very essential things to the profitable rais ing of poultry. Close, stuffy quarters are very injurious. Indianapolis News. S'llngc as a Horse Feed. 7 I know silage is a good teed tfor horses, for I have tried it. I have not, however, fed to any great ex tent, because I did not have as much silage as I wanted for cows and horses both, and as I thought more of my cows than I did of my horses, the cows had all they needed and the horses had to go short. One winter we had a brood mare that was fed silage all win'.er, probably twenty pounds a day. She had some hay and straw to go with it, and no grain except what was in the silage, and she came out fat and with a glossy coat in the spring and had a fine, healthy colt. Horses like silage as well as cattle do after they get accus tomed to it. A man in Michigan a few years ago wintered two hundred horses on silage and-straw exclusive ly, with no grain. They came through in fine shape and the brood mares all iad fine, strong colts. The Ohio station tried feeding horses on silage through the winter and reported that they came through until spring in the best condition. Mr. W. C. Bradley, ot Hudson, Wis., says that one year during spring work he was out ol hay and the only coarse fodder his horses had during all that period ol hard work was silage. He says that his horses never stood work better. C. F. McKerrow iu the Weekly Wit ness.

New York Tribune. CARE IN DRESSING. A woman who is well groomed can not afford to be careless of her ap pearance. She must dress so as to bring out her good points. To do this takes time. At least halt an hour is required for dressing in order that she may present that perfectly prepared appearance which is the in describable charm of the well groomed woman. Particular atten tion must be paid to the finishing touches. Each hook and button must be perfectly adjusted; her hair must be as neat as possible, with no strag gling, ill-kempt locks flying about, and her hands must defy criticism. Indianapolis News. ONE FUR COAT INSUFFICIENT. There was a time when one fur coat was all a woman needed, and she wore it unhesitatingly with all her frocks whenever the weather really called for fur. Now one must be a plutocrat to wear furs properly. Sealskin demands a gray or mole col ored frock, and sable calls aloud for black satin, ermine is charming with beige and clay color, and silver fox Kappily has an affinity for many dif ferent colors and textures. It is, therefore, pleasant to be told that a ew variety of silver fox at about a quarter the usual price will be put on the market this winter. It is achieved by dyeing the hitherto un-sal-'jle red fox, and the imitation is safx to deceive all but the elect. New York Tribune. HER STAINED FINGERS. In an interior city which prides It self upon the respectability of its smart set and its superiority to those who indulge in fashionable fads one ot the society leaders is a woman who is always criticising her neighbor's actions. Whether it is a brainstorm hat, a sheath gown or a petticoat overlaced to her taste, she never falls to express her opinion of the wearer, usually an opinion spiced with spite. The other day she was calling upon a young matron, and as she condescend ingly accepted a cup of tea she began 4 mmn na .if fl )l Ut B-nnt TltA VnittllT matron stood the caustic remarks un til the tears rose In her eyes and she felt she mvt rebel.

The burden of clothes has evident ly grown too great for the modern woman, for she seems to be trying this year to divest herself of as many garments as possible. Her gown is commonly all in one piece, while the undergarments have been reduced to two combination garments. There are also various other economies, as Miss Elizabeth A. C. White told the Dressmakers' Protective Association at the Masonic Temple. "What kind ot a blouse did you wear with it?" some one asked after Miss White had exhibited her travel ing skirt. "None at all," answered the oracle of fashion. "I did like the French women wore a little white'sleeveless slip waist, with a lace jabot, and kept my coat on. I wasn't going to pay $60 for a blouse. "You don't wear ally blouse under the new Dlrectolre coats," continued Miss White. "You keep it on when you mike calls or go to afternoon teas, and under it you wear one of these little slip waists, with a hand some collar and Jabot. Or, if you like, you can drape a piece ot this wide figured ribbon across the front and fasten it with handsome buttons. "At other times the French woman doesn't wear any coat at all. She has the new coat gown, made of any heavy material and worn with furs. "This is proper for any occasion calling for a Btreet costume," said Miss White, "church, calling and teas." Along with this lessening of the number of garments worn goes a less ening ot the quantity of material. Skirts are both scantier and shorter than ever before. "Even long skirts are not very long," said Miss White, "and Paquln Is showing short tailor mades this season for the first time. How short should they be? . That depends on the style of the gown and the style of the woman. A young girl of medium size who wants to show her pretty boots may wear a skirt three inches off the ground, and it she is small she may have it shorter. Even six inches isn't too much for a trotteur costume to be worn in bad weather. A large wom an who is not young, and wants her dress for the promenade, should have it from one and a halt to two Inches off the ground."

Several species of Bumach begin to show in August their large upright clusters of beautiful crimson or scar lei fruits and In September and Octo ber their handsome pinnate foliage assumes brilliant tints of scarlet. The largest of them is the staghorn su mach (Rhus typhlna or R. hlrta), which sometimes becomes a small tree up to thirty feet high and Is easily distinguished by its thick velvety branches. The shining sumach (Rhus copal Una) is smaller -and more often a shrub. Its leaves are of a dark gloBsy green and smaller than those of the preceding species. The smooth su mach (Rhus glabra), which is a shrub rarely more than ten feet high, is similar to the staghorn sumach, but has perfectly glabrous branches and leaves. Indianapolis News. A HORTICULTURAL MARVEL. If you put the buds of a Northern Spy into a Rhode Island Greening tree and cut back all the branches of the latter, those buds will bo dom inate the tree as to compel it to send its feeding roots straight downward even after the wide-spreading hori zontal root system of the Greening has been firmly established. Then after a few years, when your trees have become Spies, you can trans form them into Kings, which will prove very profitable, bear several years earlier and enjoy the long life and Immunity from canker and crown disease which are characteristic ot the Spy, . "The process is very simple," says Mr. George T. Powell, in Country Life In America. "I buy two-year-old Spies from a nurseryman, plant them, and a year later I insert the buds of any variety I want to grow. The only difference is that trees have the blood of three varieties in them instead of two. For you must know that all ap ples nowadays are grafted." RAISING MARKET LETTUCE, There are two kinds ot lettuce the Cos and head lettuce. The head lettuce forms a head like a cabbago. The Hartford Bronzed Head, Big Boston, White and Black-Seeded Ten nis Ball and Hanson make fine, large heads. Used for salad and table use. Lettuce can be planted Indoors the same as parsley and transplanted to the garden May 10, or it may be sown in tho garden any time after May 1 to July 10. Prepare the land the same as for beets, make a trench one half inch deep and sow .two or three seeds ever four to six inches. Cover and press down. When the plants are well up thin them to six inches apart. Keep the Soil well tilled around them, and as soon as they crowd take out every other one for table use. In warm weather lettuce runs quickly to seed, and should be cut as soon as the heads are well formed. The heads are ready for the table in from eight to twelve weeks after being planted. Lettuce in the summer is not quite so good, but it planted the 'first ot July' a fine au tumn crop may be obtained. H. D. Henienway, In the American Culti vator. CHOICE OF GARDEN TOOLS. So much of the work about the country home place must be done by manual labor that the owner maket a most serious mistake if he does not provide himself with the very best tools on the market. Some personi fall to realize the difference between tools .that will "do" and really good ones. It pays to buy the best. One can do better work with them, it is a pleasure to use them, and they last a great deal longer if properly cared for. This reminds me to say something about the proper care of tools. Never leave them just as you use them. Clean them well before putting them away. Never get into the habit ol dropping them anywhere you happen to be when you have completed your work with them. Have a place for them under cover, and store them there, aud insist that others of the family who may make.uso of them shall return them to this place after having used thorn. If this is done, any one will know just where to find them when wanted. A place for ev erything and everything In its placs, is a good motto for everybody es pecially in the country home. Out-Jug.
