A FANTASTIC BONNET.
The taste of a woman is beyond or
di\ ury comprehension. Once the am¬
bit. »n of a woman’s heart was to have
n truly “love of a bonnet," but times
have wonderfully changed.
Mrs. “Jack” Gardner, Boston’s
leader of fashion, wears a strangely
antiquated headpiece of rich device
known as her “Egyptian bonnet,”
which enjoys the happy distinction of
being unique and solely alone in its
glory.
Another woman, equally noted in
her particular sphere us a writer,
we a r- a bonnet which invariably
strikes curdling terror t > tho heart of
a sensitive creature. Above the fair
face of the lady so fine is a glory of
golden snakes. Two snakes
bodies an inch in diameter, flashing
w ith thieklv studded mock jewels,
wreathe and writhe around the lady’s
fair golden head.
The upright tails of tho reptiles
form the trimming in front, while the
great heads in the midst of aigrettes
form the back trimming, It is need
less to say that although the wearer is
a fascinating woman, a cold horror
chills your heart as you look at her.

barren afple trees.
Apple trees that grow in manured
and cultivated soil run mostly to wood
and vield no fruit. Too rich a soil is
.
not desirable for an orchard, and the
best orchards are found ou a fairly
good limestone gravel that is well
drained. When the land has been
made too rich, root pruning is advis
able. This is done by digging a trench
around the tree in the winter or late
fall, throe feet deep, and cutting the
roots at a distance of twelve feet or so
from the tree. The trench may be
filled with poor soil, which will check
the growth of wood and tend to the
production of fruit buds. Rather close
pruning in the spring, just as the buds
are swelling, will have the same ten
dency. This checks the growth of
leaf and turns the sap into the remain
ing branches, and fruit buds are thus
formed that will yield the next year,
A dressing of half a bushel of lime,

the general purpose cow.
Beef production and milk produc¬
fion in the same animal are often use
f u l to the farmer, but should not be
the aim of him who desires to receive
the greatest amount of profit from the
dairy. A first-class beef and milk and
butter cow, combined in the one ani
mal, is rarely, if ever seen; either the
beef tendency will prevail, or the
dairy qualities. All animals require
80 ,n,lc ^ f°°d for support, and the
balance that they are. able to digest
goes to keep up heat in th 3 body and
to the production of fat. This fat will
not be evenly distributed—half in the
animal frame and half in tho milkpail.
If the animal has been bred long in
the line of beef production rather than
milk and butter, the greatest amount
of this fat will go to beef, and the re¬
verse. The first-class dairy cow can¬
not be made very fat while in good
flow of milk. She cannot digest enough
rich food above the amount required
to maintain support to deposit a large
amount of fat ou her bones and maiu
tain a heavy flow of milk at the same
time. The general purpose cow-, then,
is not a strict reality, though there
may be good milking strains of beef
breeds, which are useful w-here beef is
the main object.—American Agricul
turist.
BREEDING AND FEEDING SHEER.
From an address on “Principles in
Feeding and Breeding Sheep” given
before the students of the School of
Agriculture, of the Ohio State Univer
sity, by Professor Hickman of the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station,
the following summary is made:
It does not seem practicable to pro
duct* the highest grade of wool and the
finest quality oi mutton from the same
flock.
While it is possible to obtain both
these products from the same flock,
either one or the other will be of in
ferior quality.
The production of a superior quality
of mutton from the merino is not
practicable.
The breeder, if fully qualified for
his business, can breed to suit his
fancy. The sire is the more important
factor iu breeding and should be the
production of the most careful breed
ing for a seiies of years; he should
have all the qualifications of a model
possible to unite iu one anima..
Ihe dam must have, first of all, a
good, strongconstitution, next a docile
disposition, and finally the power of
transmitting these to her progeny to a
cross-breed marked degree. The production of a
cannot be relied on for re
producing a fixed type.
The ram in all cases must have the
best of care at breeding time, hus¬
banding his strength and requiring of
him the least possible exertion.
The ewes at breeding time should
not be in high flesh, but in good thriv¬
ing condition. Grain feeding should
be"light until after the lambs have ar
r j vec }
Lambs should have feed other than
that taken from the mother, after thev
are five weeks old, and should have
some grain feed throughout the first
"
year.
Corn alone is not in general a good
feed for sheep of any age or kind,
Wheat br*D, ground oats, and a little
oil meal are good gram foods, and
roots, such as maugel-wurzels and
turnips, are admissible adjuncts; en
silage is also one of the best foods,
especially for breeding ewes.
rearing geese.
Geese may be reared without water
for swimming, bat it is better to have
a pond or stream, as these birds will
mate better in the water than on land.
Good grass pasture is necessary for
the goslings as well as the geese. One
gander is usually kept for three geese,
The gander is better if three years
old. The geese should have a quiet
place to make their nests, but it is
best to take the eggs until a full
litter, which is nine or ten eggs, is
gathered. Then the eggs are put in
the nest an l the goose allowed to
brood. The Goslings are usually quite
hardy, and aie fed for a few days on
such food as soaked bread, meal and
broken boiled potatoes with sweet
skimmed milk added. Only a small
q uan tity 0 f cornmeal should be given,
if aav at al]; middlings or oatmeal is
better for them. But a good pasture
is indispersable. They will eat a
large quautit v of grass. Chopped
or .young green onions are ex
cellent for them, mixed with the

grown; while in the downy stage thev
quite tender. The dry curds of
sour milk, with a sprinkling of red
pepper is good for them, but should
uot be given to excess. As the gos
lings are soou able to take care of
themselves, it is easy to get a second
brood by saving the last eggs and set
ting well them. These late goslings, if
fed, grow fast, and are salable in
good time to make them quite profit¬
able. The usual fattening food is
oats, which they will eat greedily.
While the goslings need nc water for
swimming, they should have plenty to
drink with their food. The feathers
may be plucked twice, and go to add
considerably to the profit. The Ton*
louse goose is the most popular, as it
fattens fast, and reaches a weight of
twenty pounds, when well fed, at the
age of nine months. The E/nbden is
a wholly white goo 3 e, and is prized
mostly for its feathers, although it
grows to a good size and is quite
hardy. As geese will live to the good
old age of fifty to eighty years,
there is no need to keep over the gos
lings, except a few of the best for the
sake of improving the flock. The old
ganders sometimes become vicious,
and may need to be displaced on this
account. When picked at the right
times, the feathers come oft* quite
easily and wit hout any pain to the
birds. The yield of feathers will aver
age about a pound dry from the old
birds. These birds are most profit
able when kept in large flocks near a
stream, and in sufficient number to
receive close attention. They will
consume a large quantity of water in¬
sects if they have the opportunity,
but, as a rule, are better when kept
in grass fields and let to the water
once a day only.—New Y”ork Times,
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
If your dairy has no pedigree start
one at once.
Manure the orchard occasionally,
especially the old orchard.
Remember that the egg shall is por¬
ous, and that any filth on it will affect
the inside injuriously,
Sawdust in the manure heap repre¬
sents so much inert matter; land
plaster is an absorbent that is also a
fertilizer.
Eggs with dark yolks are much rich¬
er and more nutritions than those
with pale yolks. The color of the
shell is an indication of the richness
of the egg.
Experiments in striding oats indi¬
cate that eight pecks per acre is about
the correct amount of seed to use, the
largest yield of grain being derived
from that quantity on the land.
One of the most important points in
agricultural operations is thorough¬
ness of culture. This applies not only
to corn and other grain crops, but also
to small fruits, young orchards, etc.
It has been suggested that in neigh¬
borhoods where orchards are small
young men with pluck and energy
could get a spraying - outfit aud build
up a lucrative business spraying or¬
chards.
A safe rule iu fruit growing ist>
plant good varieties, to cultivate well,
not to let them overbear, and then to
sell as near home as possible, selling
as good fruit as though you were ship¬
ping it away.
* An agricultural paper says that if 6
cow gets choked with an apple or
potato, holding up its head and break
in ? an e Z£ in its mouth is a sure cure,
The same remedy is recommended for
horses under similar circumstances,
Sow a plot to buckwheat for bet
pasture. You will get grain enough
to pay for tha labor, and the bees an
abundant honey supply. Buckwheat
is one of the very best things you cau
have to feed the hens during the win¬
ter.
Grass clipped from the lawn by the
lawn mower is fine food for fowls of
any kind that are kept in confinement,
and if it is so used the lawn mower
may be made to pay for itself, and the
lawn be a source of profit as well as
pleasure.
Hog 3 will eat the spoiled coru,
wheat, oats, or potatoes. Nothing
e lse will. Herein is the hog the best
0 £ f arai animals. When feeding in
ferior grain or vegetables be sure to
f ee d plenty, and some sound food at
tlie same time,
Many times little chicks do not
thrive, and the only reason is because
they are infested with the large gray
head lice. If the little fellows begin
to droop look for the lice about the
head and neck. They cai ba killed
by putting a drop of lard on the head
and rubbing it into the down about
the head and neck.
To utilize the feathers of ducks,
chickens and turkeys, generally
thrown aside as refuse, trim the plume

Good butter can be spoiled with
poor salt as well as by poor handling,
There are plenty of good grades of
dairy salt, and it is a great mistake to
use a poor salt because it is cheap,
Many creamery men have found this
out to their sorrow. A medium grain
is more desirable than a salt in which
the grain is very fine.
If you are going to grow fruits,
make preparation also to spray them,
Spraying not only gives crops of bet
ter quality, of perfect fruit, but it also
reduces the wide difference between
fruit years and off years, and this
helps to the profit; and by ridding
trees of vines and fungi which prey oo
their vitality it increases their thrift,
preserves their health and lengthens
their life.

TO DEVELOP TIIE SOUTH.
Southern States Exchange Establish
Headquarters lu New York.
Temporary quarters have been en¬
gaged at No. 23 Park Row, New York
city, for the “Southern States Ex¬
change Association,” which is the
name of the organization formed by
the committee appointed by the re¬
cent Fifth Avenue hotel conference.
The officers of the association are
Hugh R. Garden, president; Stuy
vesant Fish, vice president; R. Wayne
Wilson, secretary and general man¬
ager, and Johu H. Inman, treasurer.
The committee for each state has
been instructed to at once organize
his forces, and, through his state
press, invite associate membership and
inform the people of the service the
association is now prepared to render.
Some interesting facts and figures
have been furnished by Richard H.
Edmonds, of the Manufacturers’ Rec¬
ord. He says that it has been demon¬
strated to the world that in iron, cot¬
ton and lumber manufacture it is no
longer a question as to whether the
south can compete with other sections,
but it is a question as to whether other
sections oan hold their own against the
south. Southern cotton mills practi¬
cally monopolize the coarse goods
trades and are rapidly pushing into
the production of finer goods. Ala¬
bama is making iron at less than $ 6.00
a ton, and able experts have recently
reported that the Carolinus cau pro¬
duce the best grades of Bessemer iron
for 6 teel making at less than $3 a ton.
In 1880 the south had total farm as¬
sets of $2,314,000,000; by 1890 they
had increased to $3,181,000,000, an in¬
crease of 37 per cent., while during
the same period the increase in all
other states and territories was only 30
per cent. This, it should be remem¬
bered, was accomplished by the south
without immigration, while the west
had the benefit of nearly 5,000,000
foreigners who settled there within
fhat period.
Ten years ago the south’s agricul¬
tural and manufacturing and mining
products aggregated in value about
$ 1 , 000 , 000 , 000 ; now they are nearly
$ 2 , 000 , 000 , 000 , and aro annually in¬
creasing. The increase in population
during that period was only 15 to 20
per cent, as the south has no heavy
immigration to swell its growth.
So, practically the same people who
ton years ago were producing $ 1 , 200 ,
000,000 a year are now, by reason of
being more fully employed, able to
turn out nearly $ 8 , 000,000 a year more
than they were then doing. They h vo
moro than doubled their railroad mile¬
age and trebled and quadrupled the
traffic; they have more than quadrupled
their cotton bill, added $ 2 , 000 , 000 ,
000 to the assessed value of their prop¬
erty and $3,900,000,000 to its true
value, and more than doubled their
banking capital. Such is the record
of the last ten years, worked out in
spite of almost overwhelmingobstacles.

Our War Potentiality.
Tho United States 1 ms been said to
be a warlike natiou without beiu g a
military nation. Its war potentialities
are vast, indeed, It showed that
thirty years ago, when with only a
little more than half its present popu¬
lation it mustered more than 3,000,
000 men under arms iu tlie Union aud
aud Confederate forces. There are
now in America the enormous total of
9,900,000 men of military age eligible
for military service. No other civil¬
ized country iu the world could place
such a gigantic host of men iu the
field iu an emergency.
Of course, the actual number of or¬
ganized, drilled and uniformed citizen
soldiers is only a small fraction of this,
but the real available military strength
of the United States is only inade¬
quately appreciated by the average
American. Tho military spirit which
the civil war engendered has not died
out among tho American youth. On
the contrary, it has amply held its
ow-n, if it lias not increased. Never
before was the national guard of the
several states so strong in numbers, so
well armed, so excellently disciplined.
There are'112,190 of these volun¬
teers iu all, representing infantry,
cavalry and artillery. Their efficiency
widely varies, being high as a rule in
the old, rich and populous states, and
less satisfactory in tho newer and
sparsely settled communities.
New York heads the list in numbers
with a well equipped force of 12,810
officers and men—as large as a fighting
army corps of the rebellion. Penn¬
sylvania has a force of 8,014, whose
mettle was tried two years ago at
Homestead; Ohio has 6,125, and Mas¬
sachusetts 5,060. As it happens, the
states in which the recent strike cen¬
tered are well prepared for such an
emergency. Illinois’ militia body
musters 4,777 men ; Indiana’s, 2,033;
Iowa’s, 2,351; Missouri’s, 2,415, and
Michigan’s, 2,801. Illinois is particu¬
larly fortunate in the character of its
fine city regiments.
The entire oi-ganized militia of tho
United States is subject to the orders
of the president, and can be moved
and concentrated wherever occasion
for its presence arises. When to this
great army of 100,000 men are added
the 25,000 regular and 2,000 or 3,000
blue jackets and marines of the war
ships on the homo station, it is obvi¬
ous that there is something more than
the policeman’s club between the
American people and anarchy.— Boston

A NO-TO-BAC M lit ABLE.
PHYSICAL PERFECTION PREVENTED
1JY THE USE OF TOBACCO.
An OldTinievol Twcuty-three Years’ To¬
bacco Chewing and Smoking Cured, and
Gains Twenty Pounds iu Thirty Days.
Lakf. Geneva, Wis., July 21—Special.—
The ladies of our beautiful little town aro
making an interesting and exciting time for
tobacco-using husbands, since the injurious
effects of tobacco and tho ea? with which
it can be cured by a preparation called No
To-Bae, have been so plainly demonstrated
bj- the cure of Mr. F C. Waite. In a written
statement he says : “I smoked an i chewed
tobacco for twenty-three years, and I am
sure that my case was one of the woret in
this part oftlie country. Even after I went
to bed at night, if I woke up I would want
to chew or smoke. It was not only killing
me but my wife was also ailing from the in¬
jurious effects. Two boxes of No-To-Bac
cured me, and I have no more desire for to
bscco than I have to jump out of the win¬
dow. I'have gained twenty pounds In thirty
days, my wife is well, and we are indeed
both happy to say that No-To-Bac is truly
‘worth its weight in gold’ to us.”
The cure and Improvement 1n Mr. Waite’s
case is looked upon rs a miracle—in fact, it
is the talk of the town and county, and it is
estimated that over a thousand tobacco
users will be using No-To-Bac within a few
weeks. The peculiarity about No-To-Bac as
a patent medicine Is that the makers, the
Sterling Remedy Comp-my, No. 45 Randolph
street, Chicago, abso’utely guarantee the
use of three boxes to cure or refund the
money, and the cost, $2.50, Is so trifling as
compared with the expensive and unneces¬
sary use of tobacco that tobacco-using hus¬
bands have no good excuse to offer when
their wives insist upon taking No-To-Bac
and getting results in the way of pure, sweet
breath, wonderful improvement In their
mental and physical condition, with a prac¬
tical revitalization of their nicotized nerves.

Novelties in Jewelry.
Neptune’s spear, each prong of
which is set with small pearls, is a
popular brooch.
A silver pen knife with a cigar-cut¬
ter attached, to be worn as a charm, is
a late comer.
A successful method of displaying
enamel jewelry to advantage is by
placing tho articles on white satin
mats.
A sphere of dark hematite, bearing
a similarity to black pearls, arranged
in a cluster of diamonds makes an at¬
tractive hair ornament.
A dazzling lace pin is a gold snail
whose shell is mounted with a largo
pearl. The outstretched neck is stud¬
ded with diamonds and rubies.
A singularly descriptive silver liquor
flask is one bearing the inscription “JDry
as a Fish.” A sea bass etched ou its
sido carries out the idea.
One of the noticeable results of the
widespread popularity of the “Golden
Cornelian” is the partial retirement of
chrysoprase which is losing favor.
