Breeding for Butter.

Mr.. G. w. Farlee says: The shadow
Of an out-cross is constantly lowering
over the mind of inexperienced breed
er, and the blood of some Of the best
cows has been tn nned and dissipated
by unwarranted fears of %inbreoding. II
I was to commence breeding in a small
way with a view to establishing a future
herd of fixed butter characteristics, !
would select two good cows of a superior
strain and II bull OF another equally good
family, and interbreea them Tor next 10
years, breeding father to daughter, son
to mother and and half-brollier to half.

shorthorns experiences L have a fear OF
lnter-hreeding full brothers with full
sisters unlessl 1t were to produce an i'm.
pressive bull, or a hei:er TO cross with
some other excellent family. My fears
may be groundlcss. AS the result
of this system, l should expect at the
expiration of 10 years to have a h rd OF
cows that would average % to so per
cent. larger butter Yields than the origi-

Clayton NJ. Vaughn has commenced suit in
the district conrt at Minneapolis, against the
Minneapolis & st, Louis Railway company to
recover $4,000 damages for personal injuries.
He was a brakeman in the employ of the com
pany, and about q year and o half ago, while
prosecuting his duties, he was descending rap
idly from a freight car. A round in the iron
ladder was missing which caused him to mis-
calculate, lose his footing and fall from the car.
In his fall he struck the switch rod, which
pierced his body i~nf1icting serious injuries.
President j. J.. Hill of the Manitoba said re-
Gently, that he had just returned home andhad
not attended the meetings of the Grand Forks

cept that he would be very glad to see them,
and consult with them in regard to their inter
ests at any time. On the prosperity of the pop
ulhtion along the line depended the prosperity
of the road. and any consultation could not but
result in good.

E@rfAAF AE-aEN lEE%A L L.aE
Governor Bourne of Rhode Island,
.tells the people Of this little State some
plain truths about the growth of the
divorce scandal. It seems that the
ratio Of divorces to marriages is con-
stantly increasing, and already has
reached the proportion Of one divorce
TO nine and seven-tenths marriages.
This ratio becomes, as the Governor
says absolutely startling" when it is
considered that probably q third Of the
population are Roman Catholics and
therefore ut off from divorce entirely,
since this \ iould mike the proportion
among the rest Of the people as high as
one to every six or seven marriages.
a large majority Of the divorces we're
granted without opposition, and by col
fusion between the parties, upon <
parte dispositions. The ease with which
the marriage tie is severed in Rhode
Island has become so notorious that
outsiders often go to the State and stay
long enough to obtain the legal 'resi-
dencs" required, in order to procure
divorces which they could not hope to
get elsewhere.

1t is not a good plan to have the white

Handsome bed-linen is receiving con-
siderable attention. Sheets, pillow cases

can be kept longer if the water is

drops of camphor spirits added to it.
But If the faded flowers are put into a

Hints For Home Dressmaking.

A pretty and simple mode of renova-
ting an old dress made with killing atthe
foot and long round overskirt is to di-
vide the plating into two or more mar.
row ones. Then sew the overskirt on
to the foundation all round, jus. above
this trimming, and turn it up, gathering
or pleating ii into the belt. forming the
bag-iike drapery known as the Worth
overskirt. The extra length must be
caught up here and there at the back
and on the sides, to allow of easy full.
ness in the effect. The Jersey is the
great resource of those who have wooden
dress skirts which have outlived the
bodices originally belonging to them.
Indeed. it may be said to have taken
permanent places as the fatigue dress
waist in place of blouses, skirt-waists,
etc. The better grades must be bought
for wear with silks, but for old, CASH
meres, etc., u So Jersey is quite good
enough. Should this be found too thin
for wear in cold weather, the old dress
waist, stripped of all trimming and care
fully darned, may be worn as an under
waist "

which is afterward carefully and closely
covered with the tlnsel thread, giving
the raised effect, on which much of the
beauty OF the work depends. Toilet

natural looking bits of ribbon oil plush
