All shades of yellow are greatly in

Very little jewelry is worn with white

Bright yellow silk mitts are worn with
toilets of black.
The shade of green called bronze dart
is exceedingly fashionable.
Very handsome grenadine toilets are
imported combined with satin sublime,
and trimmed with rich steel beaded
fringes and appliques.
The wide-spreading Bernhardt ties of

ultra fashionable people who so lately
appeared behind them. III

Hog Cholera.


We have heard of late that this
scourge has broken out in several prom
inent herds of swine in the vicinity of
this city with considerable virulence,
and that many animals have fallen vic
tins to its attacks. The prices that
have been realized for fat pigs of late
render this stock of too much value to
be needlessly sacrificed, and we would
urge upon our friends interested in this
kind of stock to use the best of sanitary
precautions to ward off this fell disease.
The presence of this malady is often
attributable to lack of care in the diet
of the animals, or to the cleanliness of
the quarters, or perhaps to both COM

of liberal quantity of quick lime in the
nests and places which the pigs fire.
quent, to thoroughly disinfect them
from any malarious conditions which
may exist, giving the pigs access at the
same time to pile of the lime, which
they will eagerly devour, and will visit
frequently for the purpose. A mixture
of salt and ashes, fed at least weekly,
we have always considered valuable
preventive, and condiment which pigs
relish highly. A weekly allowance of
common mineral coal will also be de-
voured with much relish, and contribute
much toward keeping the animals in a
healthy condition. Above all, u vegeta.
BILE diet is an essential in the hot. sum

coming unduly heated and poisoned

If strict sar3ary precautions are
taken, and the wants of the brutes for

much may be done to ward off the ten

Trimming Tomatoes.

The tomato crop has become one of
the most important in the domestic as
well as in the market garden, and
should be carefully looked after. There
was time when the eating of tomatoes,
raw and cooked, was overdone, but
they have become u stock fruit, to be
eaten for salad or sauce, and are still
more useful for havoring soups and
other dishes. In the East they have
been used for long period in the latter
form, as an Indispensable article of diet.
A little care in training the plants and
moderate trimming will greatly promote
their fruitfulness, advance the time of
their ripening and improve their flavor.
1t is well 20 have them set out on the
sunny side of a wall or fence against
which they may be trained on asanting
trellis, so rs to afford a free circulation
of air behind and at the same time ex-
pose the fruit constantly to the sun.
The sun is essential to the perfection Of
the fruit as much rs with cherries or
apples. 1t is often excluded from the
tomatoes by the rank growth of vines

coming to perfection. Indeed itncver
does come to perfection without the
ripening influence OF the suns rays.
Another great advantage of training
tomatoes in the manner suggested is
that they are kept cut of the dirt, are
always clean and ready for use and are
not liable to rot. The common mode
Of letting the plants take care of them
selves, and the fruit lie on the ground,
exposes the tomatoes to dirt and roland
vefmin, rrUm WHICH riTey nT;ty -cJssI1y NC
preserved by little extra pains.
Where a trellis or frame cannot be
made it is well to put brush on the
ground before they have had much
growth and allow the plants to run on
the brush. This will keep the fruit out
of the dirt, and an occasional moderate
trimming of the vines and leaves will
expose it to the sun. But good frame
will pay well in the end. -Ne,O Yorb

Sowing Fodder Corn.

Corn for green feeding ought TO be
sown throughout July, and OF late years
majority of farmers and this MAORI
ty is growing larger and larger--are not
disposed to run the risk of a dearth OF
pasture in September, when an acre or
so of corn sown broadcast and narrowed
in, or what may be better, drilled in,
can protect them against it. The prod
uct of single acre, beginning to cut it
when it is from three to four feet in
height, and fed in the yard or stalls,
would surprise those unaccustomed to
providing this fodder for this serious
time of need.
In portions of New England and New
York, as well as here and there in other
places, this green fodder is being pre-
served in pits for winter-feeding, about
which we have published considerable
information, and regard it so far in
very favorable light. But, as we said
on various occasions, we do not advise
a general resort to this mode, attended
as it is by considerable outlay, until
those who have given it fair trial of
two, three or four years, shall testify to
and show undisputably the advantages
which they derive from it. Meantime,
do DOT neglect the fodder-sowing sug-
gested above, which as a rule will come
in so advantagcously in September and
