TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
J
if PREPARING A COW FOR CARVING.
It is dangerous to interfere too much
with the condition of a cow just pre
vious to calving. If she has been over
fed and is too fat, it is too late to mend
it; it should have been thought of earlier;
to run the cow down in condition by
stopping feed or by medicine would be
very unwise. The safest way is to feed
the cow moderately, give one pound of
■epsom salts at once, to use no feed but
hay, and to keep on milking her, if it
continues, until the calf is dropped.
There need be no anxious thought about
the cow, if she is not worried too much.
Her condition is by no means unusual in
any respect.
tP SHEEP WINTERED ON STRAW.
Dr. G. C. Caldwell’s recent note es
timating the value of oat straw at 77 per
cent, of that of average meadow hay,
and wheat, straw at 70 per cent.,'fur
nishes just what is needed to answer the
question why it is that sheep winter well
on straw alone. As straw 4s usually fed
more freely than hay, the animals make
up in quantity what it lacks in quality.
Besides cheapness,' straw has this to rec
ommend it, that hay tends to constipa
tion of the bowels and straw does not.
Animals free from constipation do better
oa the same amount of food than those
afflicted with that malady. By noticing
(he difference in the consistency of the
droppings of straw-fed and hay-fed sheep
one can readily tell that straw keeps the
towels in better condition, and while
sheep so fed do well it is evident that
straw is the preferable sheep fodder. In
this way, wintering sheep is reduced to
i minimum.— New York Tribune.
&=- ■
THE OTHER SIDE OP SILAGE.
The facility with which fodder may go
into a silo is of less importance than the
condition in which it may come out.
There are mauy points to be considered
and settled before the farmers of this
State will be prepared to adopt the silo
generally. Professor J. W. Sanborn has
always been opposed to the system. His
eighth bulletin is devoted to the details
of carefully conducted experiments in
feeding silage against dry fodder aud
■comparing results: Corn-fodder may
be successfully dry-stored, and more
cheaply than in the green state. A
given amount of dry food stored lasts
longer than the same amount put in silo.
“Si!.age-fed steers made a less substan
tial growth than those dry-fed, and
probably did not make really the great
growth of solid matter.” Dry fodder
•or cows proved more effective than
silage, producing the richest and best
milk. “Dry food gave the best butter,
which seemed to keep better.” Dry
food is more cheaply handled, aud cows
maintain their live weight best upon it.
The air-drying method with" dry storage
in a good barn in a compact form is de
cidedly the more economical method of
the two. — Hartford Timet
I CLIMBING TO THE TOPIN BREEDING.
There arc many farmers who have
made a start in the right direction in
horse breeding. They have studied over
the matter and have concluded that it
paid to breed better horses and have acted
upon this inspiration, says the Nationid.
Stockman. They have ventered to pay
ten dollars for the service of a right good
stallion, whereas they heretofore have
thought that three or live dollars was
“nough for a colt from any horse. So
far so good. It is the initial step, and
they should be congratulated upon taking
it. It will be easier to get these same
men to pay the service price which a pure
bred, lirst-class horse can be offered at
thereafter than if they had been content
to stick to the two-for-five kind. When
the marketable age arrives and their more
enterprising neighbors receive fifty or a
hundred per cent, more for their young
horses than they do, although they have
higher priced stock than they ever had
before, they will be ready to fall in line
with the most progressive, aud breed and
Taise nothing but the best. It requires
time to make a change of as much im
portance as a step from the mongrel to
the pure-bred indicates, but it will be
time well spent if those most interested
can only abide it aud wait the better day
coming. The time is coming when the
average breeder of horses will know as
well as any one the advantages derived
from keeping at the top of the ladder.
ASPARAGUS.
There is probably no vegetable that is
so absolutely superb to the delicate appe
tite of the epicure as the first delicious
cuttings of early asparagus. Although a
native of Europe and Asia, it has become
common in this country as to be almost
naturalized in many places, having found
its way into the fields and sometimes
being seen on beaches and marshy places
on the sea coast. Soil and location have
probably more to do with the raising of
fine asparagus than anything else, and of
the many different varieties introduced
into cultivation at different times few of
them have differed greatly from the
original.
Although asparagus grows very readily
from seeds, we have found that the spe
cial characteristics of improved strains
are not so certain of reproduction as when
the propagation is effected by planting
the roots. Most of our prominent grow
ers prefer to plant one-year-old roots, al
though two-year and three-year are often
used. The asparagus bed should be five
feet wide aud any desirable length, ac
cording to the size of the family. It
should be well cultivated, two feet deep
and well manured. Three rows of plants
will suffice to each bed; the plants
should stand one foot apart in the row,
and the crowns should be well covered
four inches deep; a good deep soil with
a sandy bottom will be found most suita
ble, as the plants do not thrive well in a
-vet, stiff soil. As soon as tbs tops are
rat down in the fall cover with a top
dressing of coarse manure, which mar be
forked early in the spring. A partial
cutting may be made the third year, but
it will add materially to the vigor of the
plants if none be got until the fourth
jesr. In locations away from the seashore
a top dressing of two pounds of coarse
salt to the square yard will be found ben
eficial. 'The asparagus is naturally a
maritime plant, this being the reason why
salt acts so bencfiicially. —New York
Herald.
SOWS EATING THEIR PIGS.
The desire in sows to devour their
young pigs appears generally within the
first three or four days after farrowing.
Cienerallj when the sucking is fairly
started, the desire gradually diminishes
or disappears. Several devices have been
employed with more or less success, for
the purpose of preventing the mother
from eating her offspring. That the de
sire for flesh may not be excited, the
afterbirth should be removed as soon as
it is expelled, and the slime covering the
young pigs should be wiped off, as any
rough licking by the mother may wound
the young ones and cause bleeding, which,
if it is started at the navel, might become
continuous, and probably incite devour
ing of the pigs.
To save the young ones from danger,
they may during the first few days be
kept separate from the suspected mother,
and be allowed to suck at intervals ol
three or four hours, while being watched.
If during the second or third day the sow
is quiet and natural, the pigs may be left
with her; but, nevertheless, watch should
be continually kept over her during a day
or two; for it may happen that a relapse
will occur. This will be best prevented
by giving her a plentiful supply of gruel.
By way of remedial treatment, or rather
as an additional precautionary measure,
if close watching cannot conveniently be
kept, a strong decoction of colocynth, or
a strong solution of aloes in water, may
be applied to the body and limbs of the
young once or twice a day. the articles
are very bitter, and will disgust the sow.
Because a sow has once eaten her little
pigs, it is not certain that she will do it
the next time, and it is therefore not
necessary to discontinue her as a breeding
sow, if she is otherwise a very desirable
animal. But her having once or twice
evinced this unnatural appetite, suggests
the adoption of precautionary measures
in the future. For this purpose it will
be indispensable to note the exact time
when she will be due in farrowing. Sows
that have reared several of litters success
fully may devour a following litter, while
sows that destroyed their first or second
litter, or both, may never do so again.—
Pruirie Farmer.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
You may keep as mauj fowls as yen
wish, but they should be in small flocks.
Be sure and store away turnips, car
rots and potatoes for the hens this win
ter.
Poultty reared with free range of or
chard and meadow’ are the largest and
finest in plumage and symmetry.
Has it ever been your experience that
no ventilation makes stinking hen houses:
and improper ventilation breeds disaster!
Has it ever occurred to you that build
ing at five cents per pound paper on the
inside of your hen house may save birds
worth a dollar.
There are few things that contribute
more toward makiug a happy home than
a good table, and plenty of chickens,
ducks, and eggs will always guarantee
this.
If the floor of the hen coop is of earth,
it will pay to dig out six inches of it and
spread it as manure upon any field that
needs enriching, and replace it with fresh
sandy loam.
The Pekin duck is without doubt the
most popular duck for market breeding
that we have. Its only rivals are the
Aylesbury and Rouen, but it still main
tains an easy lead of both.
The solution of the difficulty in dairy
ing is to “know more” about the busi
ness, so that we may be prepared to re
duce the cost of production, and still
make as much profit as ever.
A slipshod method will never pay, anc
the market gardener needs to turn over e
new leaf, and do as is now' done in othei
branches of business, apply as far as pos
sible laTmr saving machinery.
Don’t water your plants too often nor
give them too much water. When the
soil looks dry they need water. Good
drainage at the bottom of the pot will
obviate some of tbe danger of drowning
the plant.
Don’t burn the leaves as they fall.
Gather them from streets or other places
where their presence is not desired and
| use them as bedding in the stable for
! cattle or horses, as mulch, as covering in
j winter for tender plants and afterward as
manure.
If you are feeding grain to your ducks
or ducklings, give it to them in their
water trough under two or three inches
of water. "They enjoy hunting in the
water for their grain, and, too, the plan
will prevent their “gobbling,” as they
will always do if the feed be thrown on
the ground.
The average weight of Bronze turkeys
is thirty-two pounds, some have reached
forty pounds in weight at two years old.
A yearling Bronze should weigh about
twenty-five pounds. Turkeys are seldom
marketed before the middle of Novem
ber and December. They should be
penned up aud fatted for ten days before
killing. This not only increases the
weight but adds to the quality.
Sometimes when a very heavy grain
crop has been grown the field is more
easily prepared for wheat seeding by
burning over the stubble. A few fui
rows Should be plowed next the
I fences, to prevent the lire spreading
where not wanted. Oat stubble, how
i ever large, does not burn as easily as that
ot wheat. Its stalk is not so firm. In
burning Vheat stubble many Heesian
flies will usually be destroyed, thus mak
ing it safer to sow -wheat after wheat.
Last year fifty-five persons presented
themselves volut. rily at the Scotch
lunatic asylums and asked for treatment.
WOMAN’S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.
PATRIOTIC DANISH WOMAN.
The women in Denmark are showing
their patriotism in a most practical man
ner by voluntary contributions to a fund
for the defence of their country by means
of fortifications, for which the Danish
Parliament will not vote the necessary
grants. The Danish women have already
collected sufficient money to purchase
eight Krupp guns, which have been pre
sented to the King of Denmark. Con
tributions continue to be forthcoming,
and a movement has now been started in
Norway' to follow the example given by
the patriotic Danish women.
A qCEEN*S RESrECT FOR THE DEAD.
When Queen Victoria dies the numer
ous suits of rooms now closed in the royal
palaces will probably be re-opened for
occupancy. The Queen has a strong
penchant for closing rooms once used
by her friends. The apartments at
Claremont in which the Princess Char
lotte died more than seventy years ago
are rigorously closed. Prince Albert’s
apartments at Windsor, Osborne and
Balmoral are all kept precisely as they
were when he was alive. The Duchess
of Kent’s rooms at Fragmore are also
shut up, which renders that abode abso
lutely useless, as they are the best in the
house. The Queen has also kept John
Brown's rooms at Windsor entirely closed
since the death of that domestic.
TWO ROYAL SISTERS.
The Princess of Wales aud the F.ui
press of Russia wear simple muslin
dresses, and a belated traveler peering in
at the window would only think it was
an unusually happy aud generous family
party. The Princess of Wales is the
taller and more reserved, but the sisters
resemble each other very closely, and
both incline to the same style of neck
dressing, arranged in terraces (they say
that in the case of the Princess the broad
band covers a scar, but court ladies who
have seen her in deshabille declare that
it is not so, but it is worn simply because
she knows a broad neck band helps the
lines of her face and makes her longer.
Age always begins to show itself in the
neck, you know). The last time I saw
the Princess at a state concert, says a
correspondent of the Indianapolis New f
she was in mourning, with many dia
mond stars on her black lace dress. On
her neck she wore a baud of velvet one
inch wide, edged with lace. On this
was a row of magnificent diamonds,
wbile a fcevs and below were smaller
revere, and below all was a very elabor
ate necklace necklace of diamond fila
gree
OSCCLATORY GREETINGS.
Kisses are really not agreeable greetings
to exchange, say a woman writer in Lon
don Truth: Very few people know how
to bestow or receive them in a neat and
satisfactory fashion. A slovenly kiss is
a really detestable article, and makes one
dislike and despise the bestower. Of all
my girl friends who kiss me when we
meet there is only one from whose oscu
latory greeting I do not involuntarily
shrink. Some butt at the kisses with
lips made into a hard ball for the-purpose.
These almost give one the toothache.
Others bestow their aewey lips upon one's
cheek in a way that makes the recipient
grope hastily but furtively for a hand
kerchief. A third contingent kiss in a
cold and chilling way that says plainly
enough: “I kiss you because I suppose
you expect it of me.” I always sympa
thize with these, and would gladly fall in
with their views. Amy, do let us make
a non-kissing conpact company aud see
how many of our acquaintances will join
it. The rules would not forbid a kiss
after a long absence, nor would it inter
fere wjjh lovers’ kisses or anything of
that sort, hut only combat the custom of
daily greeting by osculation.
I feel quite sure that woman’s friend
ships would be firmer and more durable
if they would abandon all such heavy
demands upon it. Do you agree with
me?
JAPANESE WOMEN.
The Japanese woman wears none of
the frills, ribbons, or fripperies known to
her western sister; all is simple, useful
and complete; neither knows she aught
of jewelry or ornament, except, may be,
such as she wears ia her chignon, which,
by the way, is dressed with much aud
elaborate care,-and ever with due regard
to her married or single state. When
the weather is cold or inclement, every
body—male and female—wears a warm
upper garment or paletot-like arrange
ment: but the garment which is most
distinctive of social status is the long,
sweeping robe, trailing often a length of
several feet, and whose length affords a
sure guide to the rauk of the wearer, for
tbe higher the social caste of these la
dies, the longer the tails of their gowns.
Then the custom is for everybody to
shuttle along ou helpless slippers, bound
to the foot by a thong or half-circle of
leather, which passes between the toes.
Women of all classes go about with
neither hat nor bonnet, although in the
winter, when snow fills the air, and the
cold is intense, they wear the daintiest
headgear of a white wadded silk, which
covers the front of the bead, is cut up at
all sides, and fastens under tbe chin like
the ordinary Europeau bonnet; but in
the summer aud spring months, when
blossoms till the land and sunshine is to
be reckoned on as a matter of course,
shining day after day throughout this
wild and picturesque country, thewomeu
pass bareheaded qp and down the clean
bright streets of tbe capital, ipgde
bright with blossoming plum and almond
trees; with the colorless lanterns and pic
turesque devices of the shops and tea
houses. Then it is that they, with their
attendants, go shopping, vjsiting, or au
to be met on festival occasions shaded
with great Japanese umbrellas or sun
shades, their costuase incomplete without
[ some gay and beautiful fan, always wors
to harmonize with the rest of the dress,
and just as indispensable a toilet adjunct
to the masculine as to the feminine crea
ture. Each also has his or her little re
quisite thrust into the folds of the wide
girdle—the handkerchief, writing mate
rials and many other little trifles besides.
In the good old times the ladies even
wore short swords, analogous to the
larger ones worn by the gentlemen,
though as the centuries wore away and
peace brooded over the Empire, these
warlike tools came to be worn less as nec
essary for personal defence than as a mark
of fashion and etiquette.
Although they have tbe power of com
bining the richest and most brilliant tints
into delicious harmonies, in which crudi
ty forms no jarring element, anything
like mere gaudiness in color is eschewed
by the fine sense of the Japanese as mere
tricious taste. Earrings also—and this
may be instructive to the western women
—they deem barbaric. The matrons
choose their robes of soft, harmonious
and rather dull shades of peach-color,
purples, grays and browns, wearing with
these an underskirt of white; while the
young maids of less serious humor deck
themselves in brighter hues. Often a
glimpse is caught of a scarlet underskirt,
or a hint of some vivid color, never of
fending the eye by its garish relation to
some other brilliant mass, but peopiug in
and out with softer hues of cream, or dull
sweet lavender. At times, her flowered
robe, with chaste design and subdued
color, may be rendered gay with the sur
passing brilliancy of her girdle, embroid
ered as it is with the purest tones of rose,
blue, maize, purple aud gold.—Commer
cial Advertiser.
FASHION NOTES.
Party dresses for little girls are made
of Liberty’s silks in sesthetic hues.
Enormous muffs and fur gloves reach
ing to the elbows are n cosey prediction.
All sealskin garments are now shaped
to follow the lines of the figure, yet are
not tight-fitting.
Tortoise shell combs are now made so
that jeweled tops may be removed and
worn as brooches.
Liberty’s silks are firmer than India
silks, more like India pongee, and trim
effectively with lace or velvet.
Now that the tournure has been re
duced to graceful proportions, we are
threatened with a revival of crinoline.
The large lace cravats now so fashions
b!e are fastened with jeweled safety pins,
which are put in carelessly, to avoid a
set effect.
Arabesques of a dark color ou a light
ground and Vandyke patterns are to be
had in inexpensive flannels for morning
wrappers.
Sealskin jackets are somewhat changed
in shape, being ot equal length front,
and back, instead of sloping toward the
front, as last season.
Bands of velvet, straight at the lower
edge and cut out in Vandykes at the top,
are an effective finish for straight skirts
of cashmere and cloth for little girls.
Dressy frocks for misses* are made of
Nile-green or ox-blood red cashmere,
with Figaro jackets of block velvet
and rows of plain velvet ribbon on the
plain skirts.
The better class of sealskin garments
the present season, of whatever shape,
have invisible fastenings, consisting of
loops and “olives,” the latter with seal
skin or crochet coverings.
A few sealskin wraps are shown by the
leading furriers, but the demand is light.
In shape they follow the leading models
in cloth wraps, and sea otter and other
rich furs are used for trimmings.
The number of long, slender pins
which are thrust carelessly through the
trimmings of many of the new hats,
suggest the possibility of a reserve supply,
to be used in case of high winds or other
accident.
Anew light shade of mahogany brown
is known as Eiffel and will take the place
of its darker sister shade in combinations
with green this fall. Then follow ane
mone, Java, cuivre (copper) and condor,
those lighter tints melting gradually into
ecru.
Vulture is “the” new color and will
undoubtedly “go” well. It is exactly
the shade of a vulture’s back, with a sort
of a dusky bloom all over the surface,
whether it is opera cloth, cashmere,
camel’s hair or twill. It is very cunningly
woven.
A popular ornament in expensive
jewelry is the sun star. It is, as its name
implies, a large star, with sharp points,
and composed entirely of brilliants. It
may be worn on the shoulders, on the
sash, or fastened into the lace draperies of
a trained evening dress.
The sealskin cloak is still the perfection
of elegance in winter street garments,
and this season there arc several new
features which especially commend it to
the shopper who seeks comfort' and pro
tection from wintry blasts, combined
with rich and handsome appearance.
Wouldn’t he Photographed.
A Philadelphia tourist stopped off at
North Yakima recently. As usual, there
were scattered along the principal streets
groups of Indians in full dress of buck
skin leggings, red blankets, feathers and
green paint. The tourist wandered on
until he cams face with a chief. With
an exclamation of satisfaction he pulled
his Kodak in front of him and uncovered
the slide. In an instant the red man
threw up his hands in front of bis face
aud shouted:
“Ugh! Ugh! Bad medicine. Picture
no good. Bad medicine.”
The tourist only laughed aud persisted.
The chief stepped forward and pushed
the camera to one side. The tourist gave
the chief a shove, and got a blow in re
turn. Three or four white men came to
the rescue of tbe Philadelphian, and
several braves gathered about the chief
and muttered, while one of the youngest
laid bis hand on a knife. There was a
parley, which ended ijj the tourist put

Two London bov of thirieen,the chil
dren of respectable parents, were recently
charged with begging. The boy* all* ged
that a woman trained them and other lads
as beggars, and that she used to keep
thoir decent clothes and supply ihem
with rags to go out in. Her own boy, it
is said, was ttie bead of the gang of ju
vinils bee gars and used to take the
money, which partly weut to liis mother
and part in refreshraeuls and visits to
music halls. The mother of one of the
ladssaid that she had been lo this woman
and warned her that if she heard that
her boj’s clothes were kept ngaiu she
would lock her up for unlawful posses
sion. The defendants adhered to their
statement about being supplied with
rags, etc., and tho magistrate said that
if it was true the woman really ought to
be prosecuted.
Lacing The Hioe.
Few people lace tliolr shoes correctly.
About the nearest auybodv gets to it is
to lace as t ghtiy as possible. Tne cor
rect way is to put jour focf, when you
are about to lace your gho.‘, as much a*
posdb ein the heel of the shoe. You
can do this best by lacing jour shoes
with the heel of your slioe resting on a
chair standing in front, of the one you
are seated in. Over the iustep the lac

This will hold your fo >t back iu tho

When you arc addressed as above, your first im
pulse is to look at the driver. If the day be stormy
and the driver is a wise man, you will find that ha
wears a “ Fish Brand Slicker,” and he will tell you
that he is as comfortable on the box as his passen
ger in the cab, and that for his business this coat
is invaluable. When you get once inside a “ Fish
Brand Slicker.** there’s no such thing as weather
for you. It doesn’t make the sma.lest difference
whether it rains, hails, sleets, snow*, or blows.
Yon are absolutely and solidly comfortable. Get
one at once. No danger of your not liking it after
wards. It is a waste of money to buy any other
waterproof coat. They are worthless after a few
weeks of hard usage. Beware of worthless im
itations, every garment stamped with the ** Fish
Brand ’* Trade Mark. Don’t accept any inferior
coat when you can have the “ Fish Brand Slicker**
delivered without extra cost. Particulars and
illustrated catalogue free.
