profits.
The average weight of milk is s SIS
TBS. per gallon.
Clover grass is the cheapest feed
grown for swine.
Don't forget to use the roller on the
cloddy wheat fields.
In keeping horse fat there Is as
much in the driver as in the feed.
Medium-sized sheep usually have
Che best and heaviest tleeces.
Farmers should pay more attention
90 the feet of their horses than Is their
usual custom.
Every farmer who keeps hens should
provide them with comfortable quar-
tiers, where they can be kept from the
stables occupied by cattle and horses.
Colts frequently become covered with
vermin by permitting fowls to roost
near their managers. The practice of
allowing a flock of hens to run over
the hay NOW at will is one which no
farmer can afford.

1t is now seriously proposed to arm the
British infantry soldier with shield.
The new implement" it is said, covers
surface of foot square, is warranted
bullet.proof, weighs three pounds, and
fixes on the rife much after the fashion
OF the bayonet. The idea is that the
soldiers, when thrown out as skirmishers,
will carry their owh cover with them,
while, by sticking the point of the shield
in tho ground, they will not only be pro.
tected when firing, but will have rest
for their rifles.

Fashion Notes,

Old-fashioned glace silk is again In
vogue.
Metallic effects are fashionable in
millinery.
Velvet is favorlte trimming for
autumn dresses.
Evening gloves come in eight
twelve, and sixteen button lengths.
The variety Of outside garments il
greater this season than ever before.
No jewels are worn with wedding
garments except the engagement ring.
Long Huguenot cloaks are destined
to take the place Of the time-honored
circular.
The newest imported dresses are
noted for the plainness and simplicity
Of their designs.
A large garland of roses is consid-
cred more appropriate for bride to
carry than a stiff bouquet
Tuberoses are the flower of misfor-
tune at weddings, according to
French superstition, and are never
used
Black guipure is come into fashion
again; it is employed like Chantilly
lace, either in flounces covering skirt;
or as a trimming for mantle.
A new feature in lace goods is the
use of fine crepe lisse instead of net
for the foundation of Oriental and
Egyptian louncings and edgings.
Sashes arc still worn, and are gen.
orally worn so as to form a point in
front at the waist; sometimes revers
are put on so as to simulate a sash.
Bracelets are growing trihe wider,
and that relic of barbarism, the ban
gle, is out of favor somewhat. 1t waS
never a graceful ornament.
Charming table scarves for the dress
ing table or washstand are made of al
ternate stripes of Florida lace and rib.
bon, with a frill of lace on the ends.
Piano stool covers are worked in
satin stitch on cavasse cloth in appro.
pirate designs, and edged with fringe
made of tassels Of various colors or q
fall of mauresque lace.
Fine sheer muslin is being more and
more used for bridal dresses, and while
more durable than tulle and more
easily kept, it is less gossamer any
consequently less attractive.
Among the most beautiful of the
seasons exhibits are the MORE silks
with frise stripes, lace patterns in frise
in stripes alternating with plaiD
MORE
Wide girdles of braid are specially
elegant for tall, slender figures, and
are worn twice around the waist.
They are nearly three yards long, some
Of them with quite elaborate tasseB
being fully that length.
One of the most striking novelties
in wool goods is porcupine cloth, a
canvas fabric with ends Of hard twist
ed wool standing out from 1t like the
pile OH plush but not nearly so closely
set.
Buttons are not so much used on
waists. but the majority are so
trimmed that there is no room for
them, and the old fashioned hooks and
eyes are coming into general use as
fastenings for dresses.
The high coiffuro is still adhered to
by many ladies, but change seems
impending. The catogan has been
talked of for some time, and adopted
by some. 1t is a thick mass of hair
twisted or plated, then doubled up
and fastened at the top with bow.

Moderate loads and more trlps Is
much better than taking the risk Of
spoilingt the horses or running theb
constitutions.
Many farmers make mistake in
attempting to carry more stock over
the winter than they have feed to keep
well.
Many dairyman might reduce the
number of his cows one-half and make
more clear profit than from the larger
number.
The careful shepherd will watch his
pastures and clean up all burs,
Spanish needles, etc, which will get
in and iDjure the fleece.
The development of good walking
speed in the horse is of more impor-
lance to the farmer than the develop
ment of trotting capacity.
The horses should have water quite
often when at heavy work, and es-
pecially while ploughing and harrow
ing the wheat land in the dry Fab
season.
The Tacoma puget sound) Eeen-
ing NeDS is jubilant over stalks of
what is designated as seven headed
wheat" with stalks six feet high from
root to top; also "rei-top' clover six
feet in the length. The yield of wheat
was eighty-tve bushels per acre.
Gather all the trash from the gar
den and add it 10 the trash. pile; give
the garden heavy dressing of we'll
rotted manure and pillow it carefully
under in readiness for next srring,
especially if it be strong loan or clay,
leaving the surface rough. A moder-
ate dressing of compost, lightly
plowed under'in the spring, will then
fit the garden admirably for big
crop next summer,
A horse, even more than hog, is
liable to be ovcr-fed. With food before
it all the time, it will keep picking it
over and grow poor, with its box al
ways partly filled. 1t is an excellent
plan to find how much horses really
require, and then feed them just so
much and no more. Do not be
alarmed if everything is eaten clean
in the morning. That is the way it
should be, yet always taking care to
give enough.
Western farmers have learned to
keep their hogs in yards until the dew
is off the grass. The theory is that
the germs of hog cholera are collected
in the dew and are very likely to be
taken by the hog while grazing early
in the morning 1t is quite possible
that the care which this treatment i'm
plies is itself u safeguard against chol-
era. Most Western hogs receive I'M
limited corn and but little care of any
kind.
The idea that straw is only of value
to rot down into manure has had it,
day. 1t has very little value for this
purpose, and if no better use can be
had for it there would be good policy
in selling straw wherever there was a
near market. Eut bright wheat or
oat straw makes valuable part of the
ration for horses or store stock. 1t
needs to be fed with grain, but with
either corn or oats cut straw makes in
most places a better and cheaper feed
than hay alone.
AS soon as corn is huskcd it may be
exposed to temperature Of ITO de-
grees without injury, but if the heat
is raised much more than this the germ
will be liable to injury, At least this
is the experience of some who heated
sweet corn in fruit evaporators to dry
it more rapidly. Sweet corn is very
difficult to secure in good condition,
and very likely field corn might DO
dried at higher temperature without
damage.

According to tho Cologne Gazette, the
cost of restoring and completing the
great cathedral from 1898, when the
work was resumed after neglect OF
nearly three-quarters of a century, has
been IS, $50, 900. This is independent
of gifts of valuable objects for the re-
ligious services or the decoration Of the
building, and of large number of pri'
vate donations and funds for pious foun'
dations.

The Old-Time Students at Arcadia.

The following extract from a letter re-
ceived by DR.. G. w. Farrar yesterday from
Judge Thomas, fully explains itself:
81 have met this spring several of the
Guard" of the Arcadia High School, and all
with remarkable unanimity expressed a
desire to meet their comrades in body once
more, and L was asked to inaugurate plan
by which they could be brought together.
For this purpose l write to you now.
'The great obstacle in the way will be fixing
q time that will suit all. The only time that
will suit me is the first Tuesday of August,
and after looking over the field believe it
will be as convenient time for all others as
any one day can be. No court will then be
in session, and the season will not be busy
one.
GAS to the programme, l would suggest
that each student be invited to attend and to
prepare something either in the way of an
address, lecture or paper, leaving each one
to his own choice of subject. For instance,
Father Bergman could give history of the
school, with the work it accomplished for
Southeast Missouri. Bush proposes to give
the advance in science since 1850. And so
on"
OF course, the meeting will be held at Ar
cadia, and those who desire to participate
will communicate to Judge Thomas. De Soto,
without delay. There is but little time to
spare. With proper effort the reunion may
be made a success.

Ed. Register-You were SO long about
publishing my last letter, it was stale before
it reached your readers. For instance, re-
ported, at the time wrote the letter, as be-
ing very dry, which was the fact; but since
that time we have had fine rains, and crops
are much improved. The wheat will be
much better than expected. The cut worm
has destroyed great many gardens; they
destroy potatoes, cabbage, and everything in
their reach. think, however, the hot sun
will soon put a stop to them.

strangers this week; among them we noticed
