AGRICULTDRAL. 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 ting up his £odak and ts 6 chief mount ing bis cayuso and going down tbe street atiul] speed aud with an oetasienal whoop toward the reservation.-- Htrald. - A School for Beßfars. 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.
