If you see a woman wearing a straw
bonnet to-day, do not decide that she is
poverty-stricken until you look at her
other clothes. In England, straw, with
velvet trimmings, is worn until very late
in the winter and very early in the
spring, and it is fashionable to look as if
one had just returned from long soiourn
in London and had not had time to adapt
one s costume to home fashions. But,
really, is there any especial reason why
straw should not be worn in winter? A
mans straw hat is lighter than silk or
felt. but woman'S is often heavier and
is cool only in appearance. Witness
some of the ponderous engines of tor
ture which the millinerS sent out last
summer, and which gave one the head
ache to look at them.

 Finally was induced to use E. B. B., which was about the lst of February, and continued its discharge decreased at once and the hardness around the cancer dsap- pcarcd. It improved my general health and 1 rapidly gained flesh and strength The dis charge gradually decreased and the cancer became less and less in size until nothing re- mains except d scar to tell the tale ofa once dangerous cancer. All who have seen me me since 1 have commenced the use of B. B. B. bear testimony of my great improvement and the scar on my shows that it cured the cancer. | find that B. B.

Saving Grain for Seed.

The importance of selecting seed corn is getting to be well under stood by most farmers. ltis very apt to be injured If not thoroughly dried before being exposed to cold weather. But other seed grain Is equally liable to be injured from dampness. If piled in stacks or moved when wet enough to cause heating the vitality of the bed Is impaired. Grain intended for seed should be kept by itself on a shallow Scafiold, where it cannot be in bulk sufficient to beat. When threshed, it should be spread thin ly on the barn floor. until thor oughly dry, A buShel of seed saved in this way will produce more and stronger plants than a bushel and half or two bushels taken haphazard from the grain bin as grain k usually kept. The sue cess in thin seeding, about which we hear so much, depends largely on the way seed has been kept. Good seed may safely be sown thiulN.

Mixed Farming,

We are nearing the point iu the older portions of the state, when change of tarmmg methods may he regarded as an absolute neces- si!y What we need is diversity of crops, u,o:t com, oats, wheat, rye aud grass ana less cotton: and more cattle, sheep, hogs, farm an imals and better farming tools. It has been said, and that truly, that mo community that depends main ly upon single product of the soil is perfectly safe from disaster; it's prosperity como be contlnd- ouS unless by a miracle. COndi
 tionS will inevitably arise, sooner or later, unlavOrablt to its eXiS- tenrr, and those who depend upon it are left iu time of need, without resources. History has shown this to he true of the potato, m Ireland, the grape in portions of France, ana cotton in the south, and wheat in Kansas. Each fail. urc as it occurred taught the lesson of diversified industries, in the cultivation of the soil, by winch tht people largely protited. What k true of other countries, II iS fair to prc~n ne k equally applicable tu AlkausaS and the entire South.

Neatness About the House.

Every farmer, and Tn fact every person owning q yard, onght to take pride in keeping it neat and clean. Neat well-kept yards at tract the passer-by, and often add a money value to the place. We have an instance of this kind i'll mind, now. A man came into d certain neighborhood, recently, to buy farm. He found two that were for sale. One was as good as the other, as regards location, soil, buildings. etc, but one had a neat yard about the house, and the other had a slovenly one, and though he could have bought the one with slovenly yard for less money than he had to give for the other. he chose the one that cost most, simply because 1t looked best
 Have a we'll made fence about the yard, and keep it in repair. Have a strong gate, and never let IL get OH us hinges, Neep the shrnbs and trees trimmed up well, and never let litter of any sort ac. cumulate. Have a big box or hogShead in the back yard into which cans, old boots, shoes, and the thousand and one things which accumulate about the house can be thrown from time to time. When the box or hogShead is full, burn or bury the rubbish. This refers not to the front yard only; let tneat ness prevail all about the place. IL gives all air of thrift and prosperi- ty. and always impresses a behold CT favorably. It pays in more ways than one to have neat sur rOundinuS.
