Eggs Under = Hen.

The number of eggs that should go
under a hen depends upon the season.
Ihose set in January or February
should not have more than seven, while
in May the number for the same hens
might be increased to thirteen, or for a
Cochin, even to fifteen, if the eggs be
OF the same breed. We have to con-
slider not only how many chickens the
hen can hatch, but also how
many she can we'll protect after
they have reached a size twice as
large as the size of the eggs. Many
early chickens are lost every year be-
cause OF insufficient protection from the
mother during the first few months.
Such as are not fairly covered in cold
weather, even if they do not die, will in
most cases be pun.y little things that
will never add profits to the growers
purse. Better hatch and raise but five
or six early chicks to q hen, and have
them healthy and strong, than twice as
many poor little things. In April
eleven eggs to a hen will answer very
well, provided she be we'll featheged.

Farming Notas.

Make up your minds that you will
farm u little better this year than ever
before, and begin now. You who do
not need these hints may not think they
mean you, but there are enough who do
need them.
Get your early potatoes up where
they will warm and get ready to sprout
wien planting time comes.
A Minnesota farmer raises %sunlow-
ers for chicken feed and fuel. An acre
of the plants produces seed enough to
pay the cost of production as food for
his chickens, while the stalks and seed
less heads make abundant fuel for six
months use.
The state of California has about 17O,-
900 acres in vineyard. The total wine
product is now about Ia, OOO, 900 of gal
Ions for the state. This will increase
with the age of vineyards lately planted
in two years to so, 100000. The soil
and climate are peculiarly adapted to
grape growing and the finer favored
varieties are hardy. Forty thousand
people find employment and the state
received last year for the cropsold near
ly SIS, 900, 600.
March is one of the most important
months of the year for stock farmers.
The effects of the long winter will show
on the weaker animals by this time.
Lice will breed on cattle and ticks on
sheep very fast these warm days, and
must be killed. Lose no time about
this. 1t costs too much to feed such
pests, beside the suffering of the animals.
kemember that these little jobs are
often neglected because they "can be
done any time" and these same things
make the difference between profit and
loss.

Dairyins VI. Wheat Growing.

The farmers of Iowa were among the
first to break away from the one-cror
system, and to diversity their grain
growing with dairying. There are now
400 creameries or cheese factories in that
State, and their patrons find the indus
try much more profitable than raising
wheat at 60 to 10 cents a bushel on lard
that is worth from SIS to 500 per acre.
The st. Louis Republican reports
that the farmers i'll northern Missou-
RI have begun to turn their atten-
ton in the same direction, and
says that if one-half the money and
labor expended last year in raising Mis-
souris crop or 35, 900 900 bushels of
wheat had been given to dairving. the
net result would have been double. It
argues that ''the markets of the world
are glutted with wheat, but the more
butter and cheese produced, the more
there Is consumed-the demand keep
ing pace with and even outstripping
the supply" There is commonly q
market for good dairy products at re-
munerative prices, but it is doubtful if
the average profits have been greater
thar those gained from wheat, taking q
period of ten years together. The pro-
duction of good butter is not altogeth-
er q matter of disposition. Much de-
ponds upon the pasturage, the
water, and climatic conditions. The
dairying belt is us restricted as the wheat
belt, taking the whole country togeth-
er. The sections adapted to it can
make the industry profitable. 1t is
doubtful if the other sections can do SO.
The older settled portions of the West
are experiencing from the cheap and
virgin fields in the Northwest the stress
of the competition by which they forced
the farmers of the Eastern and Middle
States to abandon grain growing as a
reliance. and diversity their produc-
lions. History is repeating itself in
compelling them to adopt a similar
policy.-Boston Herald.

The Business Gait.

A good walking gait for a horse is
best. Few farmers think of this; most
of them want the colt to be a trotter.
The trotter craze has been an awful
Course to the country. It makes me sick
to think of it. How many Young men
have gone to the bad on account of 1T;
and what good does it all do? The
horses of to-day are not the equals in
endurance of those of the fathers. The
horses of earlier days did more and
harder work, lived longer and kept
sounder than ours. They trot faster
now, but what of that? It is a virtue, if
it is, which makes vice. Teach the colt
to walk, to start on a walk, and to keep
on walking till it is hidden to go faster;
such a colt will make q pleasant driver
and last longer, and will be worth a
great deal more to n sensible man.
Break the colt before it is harnessed
to any vehicle. It will make a safer
and more easily managed animal. l
have such a horse, and the other day
he saved the team because he would
not u away with his mate. He walked,
md turned in at home all right, with a
big load of coal. The driver carelessly
left them without tying, and 1T was
cold. A fast-walking horse will go
further and faster than one broken to
go by spurts, and do it easier, and last
longer. When a working horse is
pushed to a trot it will walk every
chance it gets and walks slow to get it's
breath and rest. A driving horse with
a light draft can trot with more ease.
but a good walker on a long heat will
make the time much sooner than one
could suppose.-Franklin d. Curtis,
Kirkby Homestead, N. Y.

How French women Dress.

The chief point to note about the
dress of a Partisan woman. observes the
fashionable Philadelphia Telegraph, no
matter what her station in life may be,
is its appropriateness. She does not
wear as costly garments usually as the
American of the anne social class, but
they are always thoroughly suitable to
her position and to the occasion on
which they are to be worn. A French
elegante, for instance, will neither go
shopping IN a velvet costume nor to a
wedding or official reception in a cloth
jacket and cashmere gown. She never
goes out on foot in superb and SNOWY
apparel, or appears at a ball in a dark
SILK made high in the neck and with
long sleeves. Etiquette forbids her re-
celving even the most intimate of her
gentlemen friends IN her morning dress
though this rule has been relaxed of
late in favor of the very suberb morn
ing toilets of brocade and satin and
lace which have been c%oncocted for
morning wear by the leading Partisan
dressmakers. These, however, are
simply reception toilets for morning iu-
stead OF for afternoon wear. If she
desires to go out on foot she dons the
simplest CT costumes in dark cloth or
cashmere. Her visiting costume may
be as magnificent as her purse or her
desires may make it, and the same may
be said of the dress IN which she re-
ceives callers on her sat home" day.
Her theater bonnet is much more
snowy and dressy than her visiting
one. For street wear she dons q
bonnet in very dark velvet or felt. In
the matter of gloves and chassure she is
always lrreproachable. For evening
dress the satin slippers and silk stock
lngs precisely match the toilet with
which they are to be worn. There was
an attempt made at one time to intro
duce the wearing of scarlet hose and
black slippers with white evening
dresses, but it proved a total failure.
Neither were black slippers and stock
lngs ever worn in Paris with white or
pale tinted ball dresses. That fashion
was not French, it was possibly Eng
lish, and unfortunately it was Ameri-
can.

A New Story of Gen. Grant.

The Cleveland Leader prints the fol-
lowing extract from tile manuscript
notes of Col. A.. H.. MARYLAND, who was
at the head of the army postal service
during the war:
The first time that General Grant
left Cutpepper Courthouse, where his
headquarters then were, for Washing
ton city the quartermaster made up a
special train TO accommodate the sick
and such as might have leave of ab-
sence. the road being taxed to it's ut
most capacicy to bring forward supplies,
One passenger car in the train was re-
served for General Grant and such Of
ficers AZ might accompany him. Only
two or three officers were with him, and
they did not attract any special atten.
tion as they passed into the car. The
General was always the plainest and
least %ostentatious MAJ in the army. ALI
the cars of the train except the one
reserved for General Grant were socn
crowded, and many soldiers we're stand
ing on the platform of the station. Gen
eral Grant was sitting alone on the side
ofth car next to the platform and near
the door. when a soldier came to the
door, and was told by the guard that
he could not come into that car. Gem
eral Grant asked the guard what the
man wanted, and was told that he want
ed to go to Washington. The General
then asked why he was not permitted
to come into the car and was answered
that this car is a special car for Gen
eral Grant and his staff The General
quickly replied, Let HIM come in. l
only occupy Il seat in this car This
was the first intimation the guard had
that General Grant and his staff were
in the ar. The General then asked
what the other men were doing who
We're standing on the platform, and be.
ing told that they wanted to go to
Washington, he said, Let all who can
crowd in get in The car was soon
filled, one private soldier taking q seat
beside the General and engaging him in
conversation nearly all the way to
Alexandria, not knowing with whom he
was talking"

Som. Question. in Everyday Life.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
What is ones social duty? Often we
hear one friend ask this question of an
other. Is ones social done by accept
ing and giving invitations. What do
we bind ourselves to in accepting
the hospitality of a friend or ac-
qualntance? Is our duty by her done
when we have entered the portal of
our hostess and have given her greet
ing? DO we w anything to her
guests? 1T we are a man, do we do our
duty when we neglect speaking to the la
dies whom we know? If we see a chance
when we can be of service to our hos.
tess in making things pleasant and
agreeable for her, is not that our duty
to be ready and happy TO do her bid
ding or even to anticipate it? If we are
u woman our power to do more than to
make ourselves as agreeable as wo NAV
is limited. We can then only be kind,
generous and considerate of other wo-
men as it comes in our way. We can
not seek the opportunities of being
polite and making the happiness Of
those about US as men can. S%elishness,
alas that we see SO much of it where
there Is the least excuse for it.

A FORTUNATE CALL.
An Absent Minded Bridegroom Just eavss
His Reputation.

Charles Schulz after celebrating up
Oh the advice of Horace Greeley, he
concluded to Ego west and grow up
with the country" and two years ago
settled in Nebraska. As is frequently
the case with a young man in leaving
scenes of his childhood, there is apt to
be IL tender tie which idoliEes some
member of the gentler SEX. Schulz was
no exception, Last week, when the
blizzard reigned supreme, he returned
to Shelbyville, Ind, and confided his
secret to a cousin. While staying with
this relative, who lives in the city,
Schulz divided his time between his
friends and his affianccd, whose home
was four miles in the country. Last
evening he concluded he would drive
out to the residence of his prospective
father-in-law. Jordan Bass, and spend
a few hours III the company of the fam
lily. As he neared the house, Schulz
noticed there was an unusual stir, and
could not account for the com notion.
Fearing some mishap had overtaken
some member of the hou sehold, he
rushed into the house, his heart thnmp-
ing at every jump. As he bounded into
the room, Schulz was amazed to find
the house full of the county's best peo-
pie, in fnll Sunday apparel, his betroth-
ed arrayed for the altar, and the Gle
CANT supper all spread for the we'd
ding feast. For a moment he was
dumbfounded, but III an instant
he realized that he had made
a miscalculation US to dates, and
in place of L week from last night
his wedding was to occur at that
very hour. There was no time
for explanations, and the next mo-
ment q horse dashed wildly up
the pike, the sole occupant of the bug
gy being young Schulz. Never was
four miles covered in quicker time on
any icy road; never was a county clerk
hunted up with greater energy, and
never did a bclated bridegroom
crawl into a tight pair of parts
quicker than did Schulz. Back
to the farmhouse in a trice with
the preacher, the happy couple were
soon made one, and Miss Emma Bass
is to-day Mrs. Charles Schulz, though
she got there at the appointed time
simple by an accident. Schulz is to-day
giving the boys a grand sendoff in order
to keep them quiet.-Chicago Times.

The Last of the Killers,

He looked in at the door, saw six or
eight men around the stove, and then
h hebrew back to arrange his toilet. In
his belt were two revolvers. Down the
back of his neck was a bowie knife.
In his eye the lightning lurked, and
o his mouth was an expression to
freezethe blood. When he entered the
saloon it was with q warwhoop which
should have lifted every man a foot
high, but no II moved. When he ad-
vanced to the bar, and asked for a
glass of double-and twisted death at
forty rods, his voice and manner should
have driven the bartender down through
the floor, but he diden't sink an inch.
"This is my day for gore!" beloved
the stranger US he held up the glass
and surveyed the audience. Nobody
seemed to care. "Who put Tiger jack
under the sod?" he demanded in an
awful voice. Nobody answered. "Who
run bloody Pete ont of Deadwood?
Who made Awful Smith take water at
Denver" One man said something
about the weather, but no one minded
the inquiry. "And I've come from the
mountains to get q dozen scalp-locks
for a new tablecloth!' howled the
stranger. II want a dozen-leven
wouldn't do me! Whoop! Whoopee"
At this point one of the men who had
been trying to catch a nap got up and
walked over to the stranger and took
him by the ear and led him to the
door and gave him n lift. AS lie re-
turned to his chair one of the crowd
inquired, "Who is hep" Dunno; but
ne made me tired" was the reply, and
the entire affair dropped without
another word. Good-by Catamount
Sam, Panther Jack and Buckskin Bill!
You've had your day. It's no use ring
ing up the curtain on empty benches.

Spring Suits.

Harper's Bazaar says: The general
designs for spring suits is that of short
basques, with long drapery and plain
lower skirts, and this suggestion is CIV
en- alike in dresses of one fabric or for
combinations of two materials. Tile
upper part Of the dress will be of plain
goods, with figured stuffs for the
trimming and for the lower skirt. The
short plain basque of bison, serge, or
Of camels hair, will be inlaid with vel
vet in front and back alike; sometimes
the velvet forms a short curved or
pointed plastron, while in other dresses
it extends to the waist line like a vest
IN front, and this is repeated in the
middle forms of the back. Revers or
bretelles of the wool goods edge the
inlaid velvet, and these revers are some
times covered with braid. Polka
basques for the house are very
similar in shape to the jackets
used over them for the street; they ex.
tend plainly over the hips, but are quite
short, reaching only three or four in
ches below the waist line in the back,
where they are shortest, lying smoothly
on the t,urnure without pleats. Very
narrow vests are preferred when velvet
is used, especially if it is of a contrast
ing color. The deep pointed aprons
are now made of a separate breadth of
cloth and disappear entirely on the
sides next the belt, leaving in view all
the underskirt, which may be of a velvet
or of the plain cloth stitched in clusters,
or tucked, or else braided. The straight
full back drapery may hang plain it's
entire length, or is may be laid in large
pleats, Or, if it must be more bouffa mt,
it is pleated in a single puff, and these
pleats are cleary defined, both in the
puff and in the cloth which falls below
to the foot.
