Straw and the Old-fashioned Panama
hats will be worn as the season advan.
ces.
For full dress the suit must be a black
swallOw-tailed dress-coat, black pata.
looms and white vest, rolled very low
to display an embroidered shirt-bosom.
Travelling suits are of Scottish cloths
and tweeds, either plain gray, striped
or diagonaled. The coats are made in
sack frock-cOat style. A vest to match
with standing collar accompanies the
suit.
OverCOats for the present season are
of light drab or leather-colored cloth,
sack shaped and longer than last year.
They are worn open and rolled back to
show brown silk lining.
Shirts are worn lOw-very low in the
neck directly in front, but close at the
sides. The bosom has a double plait
down the front, embroidered round the
studs for full dress. Two broad plain
pIaits are placed on each side of the
central one.
Pearl cOlOred cashmere and grey felt
chapeaus are all the rage. Those intend
ed for travelling wear have rounded
crowns and soft, crushable texture, cas-
lily resuming their shape after an acci-

For the Farmers.

The surroundings of the farmers
home can be made more comfortable.
Instead of the little building situated
several rods from the house, which must
be visited in the storms and cold and
exposed to the public gaze, and which is
very often a nuisance, let a lean-tO be
made against the rear of the dwelling
or wOOd-hOuse, with an entrance under
cover, where tubs can be placed, and by
an addition of little earth or plaster or
muck every few days, nothing disagree
able will ever be experienced. The
compost heap or the manure pile will
receive the contents, and at least $40
annually of additional value will be re-
allied for each adult. Have a cistern;
gather the materials at odd times, and
if you have room in the cellar, and do
not want to afford time to dig a hole,
wall up one corner and let water in.
Put pump in the kitchen in the hand
lest place, and with lead pipe you may
draw the water to sink within step
from the stove.
Keep a stock of wood ahead. Any
wife has a just reason for divorce from
husband who is so mean and so shiftless
that he furnishes her stove wood from
day to day; and any farmer who does it

with the idea of economy, is a Ounce,
for the time spent in hunting up the ak
and such a farmer always has to hunt
up his ak or anything else he wants
and the time spent in going to and from
his other work, to cut wood, and the
delays waiting for meals, because the
wood is green and wet, would go a long
way toward working up a good stock OF
wood; which, being seasoned and
handy, the hard-wOrking hOusekeeper
could use so as to save herself many a
scOlding; and a man who has no wood
pile must be a scOld, and unreasonable
enough to find fault with his wife, when
he alone should be blamed. Pork is the
most expensive food, besides its tenden-
cy to make people gross and vulgar. A
A big pork eater and a man of delicate
sensibilities and feelings are OppOsites.
A pound of chicken can be produced on
farm as eheaply as pound of pork.
The same is true of mutton. Both are
healthier than hog flesh. Then why
not raise chickens and lambs, and eat
poultry and mutton?
A house ON hill with no trees around
it, looks cheerless and unhOmelike.
Have grounds around the dwelling.
Tear away the fences; they cost money
and are useless. 1 mean the fences
shutting the house up as if there was
danger of it running away. Let there be
not less than an acre of door yard-ter
will be better. Make a rich lawn of
this and cut the grass. It can be no
waste, but il will be a thing of beauty,
and "a thing of beauty is a joy forever
There need not be any loss to be tasteful;
nature and beauty are synonyms; good
taste and economy can therefore be
made haudmaids to each other. Set
out fruit trees in this enclosure, and dig
around them with spade each year,
and top dress the whole, and the trees
will grow finely, and the grass will
grow luxuriantly, and the house will
grow beautiful, the children will grow
cOntented, the fathers and mothers as
they grow old will grow happy, the
neighbOrs will grow to emulate and to
excel, the township will grow attractive
and the young men and the young wO-
men will grow up to think and to feel,
that there is no place after all like
home, Sweet HOme.'-F. D. C,gtiSs.

for his share: By mutual konsent quit
the farm at the end Ov the year.
WhOt know about pharmin aint

duty to state, for the benefit of my kred-
