ABOUT WOMEN.

Birds of Paradise are the favorite
plumage for fashionable bonnets.
Many of the fall costumes are made
with square necks, to be worn over
chemisettes, which are again coming into
favor.
Fashionable ladies at summer resorts
sometimes have their seats at the table
designated by a ribbon tied to the
chair.
The Nantucket girls make a green
corn pudding which provokes a fellow to
wish his digestion extended by forty

Ladies' dresses are taking on masculine
styles again. Linen shirts with gold
studs, and Marseilles vests form a part
of the latest toilets.
Mamie Louise Hart, who has just re-

No man can see a fashionable lady
make dive for the bottom of her dress
without tearing for the moment that
she is going to use her train to knock
fly off her bonnet.
There are generally two classes OF

who occupy the front seats as dancers,
and the mothers and chaperones in the

Famine in India.

A familiarity with the horrors of the
famine at present raging in British India
makes the statisticians almost f1ippant In
their accounts of its progress. After in
forming the world that already half a
million human beings have died of
hunger and disease In the stricken dis
tricts, they warn us that " the first big
tragedy" is likely soon to occur at
Mysave. That a bigger tragedy is i'm
pending in one district than the loss of
half a million of lives seems at the first
glance to be an exaggeration. But when
we are told that the death-rate in the
relief camps of Madras amounts to over
one per cent a day, and that this awful
loss of life is taking place in advance OF
the big tragedy" we cannot refuse
Credence to the sinister prophecy. a
well-infOrmed writer states that fully six
million must perish in southern India.
Yet, Notwithstanding the fact of the
famine, the impOrtatiOns of Indian wheat
into England has reached the enormous
quantity Of over one hundred thousand
tons since the famine has attained its
present terrible phase. Is it possible
that the Indian government can permit
this export of food from starving India

satisfy the Indian spectators in grain.

Handle The CaIts.

The horse submits to mans authority
for the reason that he is made to believe
man is the stronger. He is kind and
tractable from being treated kindly and
handled lovingly. What a horse is once
taught, no matter how young, it never
torgets. When the colt is running by
its mothers side it can be taught yalua-
BILE lessons. Mans strength can easily
overcome it. The more you talk to and
handle a colt the more will it know and
the kinder it will be. No one should
ever permit a colt to have the mastery
in strength, consequently small boys
should not handle them until the colt is
entirely subdued in this respect. Nor
should a colt be ever hitched or led by
halter which he can break. If he once
learns that he can break his halter it
will take years to cure him of the fault,
ii tits ever cured. But by kind handling
and playing with them, which anyone
can enjoy who has heart within him,
they will ever afterwards be easily
caught, kind in service and more trust
ing in danger or difficulty. Now Is the
season of the year to attend to this mat
ter. When the colt comes about YOU
never abuse him. but with kindness edu-
cate familiarity with him. Thus he
will be always gentle and easily adapted
to any work. There will be no trouble
breaking such a colt. He will naturally
take to it. By being treated viciously
the colt can also be learned mean tricks
and vicious habits. iO1cG State Register.

Buffer VI Cheese-

The tendency, year by year, is TO work
up more closely every product of the
farm. 1t has often been said that the
farmer wastes. for want of knowledge, a
splendid margin of profit The dairy in
terest has its great waste, as we'll as other
departments OF agriculture. Butter rep
resents only one third of the milk, but
when this is made all the rest is gener-
ally treated as refuse, and fed to the pigs
and calves. Now, the caseine of the
skinned milk has a greater food value
Though not commercial valuel than the
butter There have been many efforts
to save the cheese of the skinned milk,
representing, as it does, one half, at
least. of the food value of the whole milk
That we may realizs what an enormous
amount of excellent human food goes to
waste for want of proper knowledge how
10 utilize this SKINNED milk, we have
only to look at the statistics of butter
production in the United States The
lowest estimate that can be made for
1876, based upon the census of 1870, is
Coo, 100000 pounds of butter; and it is
we'll established that for each pound of
butter made two pounds of cheese may
be taken from the SKINNED milk This
would yield 1900, 900, 900 pounds of
cheese as the natural production of the
milk from which butter has been made
Now, if we only value this cheese as
equal to ordinary beef, as food, then it
would represent 1888, 1913 head of cattle,
dressing 750 pounds of meat each. And
if this cheese were so we'll made as to be
worth eight cents per pound, it would
amount to Sl04, 900, 900 per annum.

We often see items of advice about the
best methods of removing cream skill
fully from milk, but never have found
anything that was neater than the fol-
lowing process described by a writer in
the " T. Tribune.
| was visiting a large dairy in York
shire, and for the first time saw the sys-
tenn in operation of taking the milk from
the cream, and I believe that that system
is very little known out of that country
To take the milk from the cream requires
the dairy utensils to be specially pre-
pared for that purpose, as follows: In
the dairy | refer to the milk-pans were
oblopg in shape (made of zinc, I thipk)
three feet long by two and a half feet
broad, and about eight inches deep q
did not measure them at the time, and
the bottom of the milk holder was about
one inch smaller all round than the top,
and each zinc basin was fitted into a
wooden frame on four legs, which carried
it about two and q half feet from the
floor of the dairy. In the bottom of
each zinc basin neaI one corner there
was a large hole made, and in that hole
was sOldered a piece of zinc pipe about
two inches long, projecting under the
basin, and of such q diameter that a
common bottle cork would fit into it.
The method of using the above appara-
tus was as follows: When wishing to
get the cream the dairymaid placed jar
under the pipe, and Withdrawing the
cork, allowed the milk to flow in rapid
stream, and just before the last of the
milk was ready to escape she replaced
the cork, and the result was that in
about one minute or less an unbroken
mass of cream was left in the basin--at
| least it was only broken round the edge
| think the above process well worthy Of
being adopted in all large diaries, as il
seems to me to be n very great saving Of
! time, and it produces more cream.

Cnmphor a. a Remear r,r rnnn..

The Poultry Bulletin saws that it has
rather discredited the idea of any cure
fer gapes in chickens, but now confesses
after examination, that it has reason for
faith in camphor. The camphor acts
upon the worms by vapor, the same as in
inhalation of carbolic acid fumes, and
being very strong vermifuge, it kills
the worms. 1t is usual to give the
remedy in pills about the size OF an ordi
nary pea, and also diluted in the
water they drink. The chicken will
smell of the camphor for long time after
taking it, and the fumes cannot fail to
penetrate the windpipe and lungs.
Naturalists use camphor to keep out
mites and various museum pests from
their cabinets, and we see no reason why
it's fumes should not be destructive to
the gape-Worm.

If all the labor expended in extermi-
mating Canada thistles in the United
States were paid for at the rate of one
dollar a day, the sum would probably
pay off our national debt. But the
question is, how can they be DESTROYED
once had this pest in my garden, and I
was told that by cutting them off with
hoe "a fast as they appeared they would
die before fail, as no plant can live
long by such treatment" Well, they
were 50 cut off from spring till fall, aud
the next year they appeared as before,
and they are probably in the same
garden yet, which place / sold twenty
years ago. At the same time l had a
field that was covered with thistles.
which was moved several vears, and most
of the thistles disappeared. The theory
was among the farmers of the vicinity,
that when thistles are cut off near the
ground at a certain stage of their growth
and q rain occurs soon after being cut,
filling their hollow stalks with water, that
it kills them; and this appears to be true.
Ordinary blowing of the thistle land once
in two or three weeks will not kill them;
but a case that came to my notice was az
follows: A man cut the thistles in
August close to the ground, and put a
tablespoonful of fine salt upon the head
of every stalk. This did not kill them,
but it so weakened their vitality tn d
three plowings the next season destroye
them all. 1 once killed a patch of these
thistles by sowing the land to buckwheat
80 thick that it completely smothered
them. A man who wrote on this subject
come years ago said that he had cut
thistles several years ago from the 10Th
to the 10Th of August, and they had
always died.-F. B. Minor

PrOtecaion from, F1Ies.

A contemporary records the discovery
of French pnarmaceutal chemist who
has discovered a way to protect horses
from attacks of flies. According to g.
London medical paper. his invention
consists in rubbing the horses, especially
the parts most subject to attack, with a
little concentrated oil of laurel. There
is not the slightest danger in its use, and
the cost is said to be very small. An
other repellant suggested by the same
person is solution of 60 grammes Zone
pound and five ounces averdupois) OF
assaf9Lida in two glasses of water and
one of vinegar. If the horse be well
washed with this, not fly will settle
upon him, as the assafetida drives the
fly away, This drug has no deleterious
qualities as an external application, and
may be used unhesitatingly.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
AIsIItn f,lnrar


Mr.. NJ. B. Bateham, of Psinville, O., has
this to say about Alike clover:
The first seed of Alsike clover in this
country was brought by me from Europe
IN 1889. 1t was sOwn the next spring by
she late David Thomas, of Cayuga
county, and noticed by him in the
tennessee Farmer, for which paper he was
a frequent contributor. From what /
have seen of this clover in Ohio and else
wheSe, it does not seem to be 80 well
adapted to the generality of soils as the
common red or white kinds. But where
the soil suits it, the growth is good, and
1t affords finer pasture and hay than the
red, and Is also more enduring, as the
root is somewhat fibrous, though not
creeping like the white clover. On ac-
count eff its smaller roots, it would not.
OF course, prove so efficient as a fertiliz.
ing crop as the red. 1t is said to be
superior for affording honey to bees.
