Changes of fashion occur in our car
pets as in dress. Last year sombre and
subdued colors and neutral tints pre-
vailed; now brilliant tints and high con-
trasting colors are in ascendent. The
reaction in fashionable styles of carpets,
however extreme, is usually treaceable
to long operating influences, and it is
for manufacturers to discern in advance
the tendency of the public taste. The
present patterns of carpets are of an all
over description, without central figures.
For certain accepted pf erns of old
standing there is a constant demand,
but periodic novelties are the rule,
There is too much study not only in
costly but in cheap carpets, of the dainty
effects of contrasts, as in yellow and
orange, with or without lighter colors,
blue and lilac, scarlet and crimson,
or white divided by faint blue.
Carpets admit of demi-tints, but nc
shades. Ecru grounds are just now the
most popular for the richer descriptions
of carpets, The " ety of patterns that
are turned out allow of the carpets Sc
!ected for the rooms of a house to rep
resent the individual taste of the occu-
pant. and thus on individual grounds
creating pleasure in addition TO the mer-
its they may possess as agreeable COM
positions.
In the way of direction in choice OF
patterns, so far as colors are concerned,
we would state that combination of col
ors that would not be pleasing in dress
are unsuited for carpets and will never
look well in a room. A tailor has made
very effective stair carpet of patterns
neatly sewn together, as in patchwork,
and edged with scarlet two inches wide.
He has taken care to have the patterns
all the same size, and they look like
thick striped material.

Sweet Corn Better Than Sorghum.

near each other In the same kind of soil
manfred and cultivated alike The
yield in fodder of both was about the
same in weight The stalks of sorghum
are tougher thanthose of corn and when
cut up and placed in different rack:
cows would not touch the sorghum Sc
long as any corn was left; nor even ther
unless pretty hungry; if fed to then
alone they would eat only the upper
part of the stalks. Cows allowed te
get excessively hungry and having
nothing else to eat would probably
consume the entire stalk
but | do not keep my COWS in that way
Sorghum stalks have probably greater
proportion of saccharine matter thar
that of sweet corn, and are therefore
preferable togrind for making molasses,
syrup and sugar; but as they are tough.
err they are not SO palatable for feeding
stock, being harder to masticate, and,
presume, to digest. Cut up and
steamed, or packed in silo, they might
be as greedily eaten. Sorghum does
best in light soil, and viii endure 6
drouth rather better than corn. In con
sequence of this, l would advise Mr.
Higbie and other farmers to cultivate a
little of it every season. The best yari

cane. In my latitude, 80 degrees,

Wire Fences.

The objection to wire fences, which
on their first appearance was quite
strong, has nearly or quite passed
away. This objection rested altogether
upon the injury horses and cattle were
likely to suffer by running against
them; but as these accidents have
proved so rare of late, and the reports
of them having been shown to be great.
ly exaggerated, we hear no more o.
them. No doubt that now and then &
horse or COW may be more or les:
hurt by being forced against the barbi
but as these barbs are very short it il
impossible to see how any serious injury
can be sustained from them. Animals
are sometimes hurt by a stone wall, OF
an ordinary post and rail fence, or by
attempting to jump over, or passing
through where there is broken rail
or may be badly injured by falling into
hole or ditch, and if they were all re.
ported it would probably be shown that
there would be as many as caused by
the wire fence As mere matter OF
protecting the premises against incess-
ant and damaging trespassing, the
value of the barbed fence will prove to
be inestimable.- Germantown Tele-
