The Beauty of Simplicity.
The QuiUer.

Next to suitability, | say, let there
be simplicity. John Newton, giving
advice to IA lady, said "Madam, so
dress and conduct yourself that per-
sons who have been in your company
shall not recollect what you had on"
That counsel, if followed, wOnld lead
to quite Il different style of dress from
that which is far too prevalent now.
Simplicity seems banished, and we are
fOrcibly reminded of the description
given by Isaiah of the attire of women
in Jerusalem in his days. The de-
scriptiOn is given in the third chapter
of his prophecies. There is a pretty
fable of the angel and the rosebud
which conveys the very lesson | am
now. seeking to enforce. 1t is said
that "the angel who takes care of the
flowers and sprinkles upon them dew
in the still night, slumbered on IL
spring day in the shade of a rOsebush
When he awOke he said: Most beau
tiful of my children, thank thee for
thy refreshing odor and cooling shade.
willingly would | grant itr 'AdOrn
me, then, with new charm said the
spirit of the rosebud in beseeching
tone. So the angel adorned the love-
lest of flowers with simple moss.
Sweetly it stood there in its modest
attire, the moss rose, the most beauti
full of it's kind. SO the cOstliest Orna-
ments are often the simplest )" and it
will be generally found that simplicity
characterizes the highest refinement.
Hence, never allow fashion to triumph
over your common sense or your good
taste. Do not comply with the reign
ing modes at the expense of simplicity
and suitability.

the daily little chickering's and bits of

Milch Cows.

There is probably no root more poor

butter than potatoes They should be
fed only sparingly, and with good
ration of corn meal, or the milk will

We have found that feeding potatoes
in winter makes the churning long and
labOriOus. In fact, it sometimes has to
be given up as IL bad job. But corn
meal fed to cows is great help in
making thin cream easily churned in
to butter even in the winter.

Mixing Breeds.

at is a matter of history that the
best steers in the show rings of the
world have been produced by crossing
Hereford bulls on ShOrthOTn cows"
This is what breeder of these cattle
said at the Vermont State Fair in
Burlington. "Why the cross will not
work equal well the other way is a
question not yet answered. We only
know that it don't. The first cross of
pure breeds often gives superior prog
eny, but it is never advisable to
continue the cross beyond the sec
Ond generation" That seems to be
what experience has taught those who
have tried mixing the blood of two
strong breeds. The blood of pure
breed and of what we term native,
seems to blend more tremendously
than the blood of two distinct breeds.
