A Mistake Committed by Majority of
Stock-Owners.


A Mistake &c mmitted by Majority of
Stock-Owners.
We can point to hundreds of farm
ers, should proof be required, who
grow corn and wilfully waste the most
valuable portion of the crop every Jear.
In making this claim it may surprise
many, as we take the stand that fod-
der, if properly used, is worth more
on the farm than the grain. Mind,
however, we say if properly used. The
fodder that is cut, stacked and left
standing in the fields is not as soluble
stage and stored under cover. If the
farmers will keep sheep and cut the
whole stock-leaf included-and feed
with small proportion of grain, a
larger profit can be derived than by
feeding corn to any stock. And we 90
further, and claim if horses be fed on
good, bright corn-fodder that has been
cut and crushed in fodder-cutter. they
can be carried over winter and be
brought out in spring in better
condition, without any grain at all
except a small allowance of oats
at night, than they can on corn
or its equivalent in value, for the
reason that they will not only relish the
fodder. but also because so large q
quantity can be grown on an acre, that
it surpasses the grain in value. Corn
fodder is allowed to waste by turning
the stock upon if to pick it over and
trample it, but when the farmers learn
that by properly curing and cutting it
up for stock every portion may be used
as serviceab1e food, they will realize
the mistake they have made in not ap-
preciating the value and Importance OF
this portion of the corn crop.
It is the mistakes made in farming
that discourage so many, and the most
prominent mistake is the neglect to
properly use the fodder from the corn
;crop--stalks and leaves-that render
the crops of such little value in some
respects. Growing corn for the grain
:alone does not pay, and yet the farm
iers who are not aware of this fact an
.nually put in their crops, harvest the
grain, md allow the really valuable
portion to be wasted by trampling oP
else destroyed by exposure. We might
allude to straw also as another waste
product, but which nay be used to
good advantage on I'll well regulated
farms where economy is rightly prac-
ticed - Washington Post.

STYLISH UNDERWEAR,
Luxurious Garments of Jersey Ribbed SILK
or Wool.

Luxurious Garments of Jersey Ribbed SILK
Wool.
Among the luxurious garments of the
winter are ribbed unaer-vests of silk or
wool, OF mixture of both, made to fit
the figure as closely as jersey. yet
sufficiently elastic for comfort; these
do away with the wrinkles of the
clumsy garments hitherto worn, cover
ing the body evenly, and are warm
without being heavy. There are ribbed
vests entirely of silk for those who do
not like wool next the flesh, and cash
mere garments for those who prefer to
have them all wool; while for those who
like very substantial underwear there
are merino ribbed vests in which is a
little cotton to prevent shrinkage. Silk
and wool mixed vests are very soft and
'clinging, and there are others of zephyr
wool made by hand in large wide ribs
that stretch out to an almost smooth
surface when worn. Drawers to cor
respond may be had in most of these
fabrics, and the merino ribbed fabrics
are also to be had in the combination
suits that consist of single garment
that covers the wearer from neck to
ankles. It is best to buy ribbed gar
ments of larger sizes than are needed
for those of plain fabrics. The fancy at
present is for colored underwear in
pale shades of pink, blue or fesh-color,
or in fine stripes of these colors with
white OF some contrasting color. Most
of these garments have lace-like
finish around the neck and sleeves, in
which narrow ribbon is inserted to
draw them together. Bright scarlet
ribbed garments are shown both in silk
and wool, and there are many black
ones also. Another fancy is to have
vest or plastron of different color in
the vest. The finest silk or cashmere
garments are shown in tiny vests for
infants, and there are also crocheted
zephyr wool baby shirts; for larger
children are merino ribbed vests but
toned down the back.
Manufacturers of 'sbright' silk and
fine wooden underwear are changing
the shapes of vests, making them fit
more closely about the waist and follow
the outlines of the form. Some of these
are now finished with torchon or other
linen laces around the neck and sleeves.
There seems to be a general protest
against wearing very heavy and bur-
densome under-clothing Of all kinds,
and it is especially desirable for sani-
tary reasons that the fabric next the
skin should be of light, open texture.
In washing such garments warm soap
suds- not hot-should be used. The
garment should be soaked in this tepid
bath, and handled as little as possible.
A little ammonia may be put in the
water. Soap should never be rubbed
on nice wool or silk garments. They
should be rinsed in clear water of the
same temperature as the suds, and this
water should be squeezed out without
wringing. When drying the article
should be hung up at full length, and
should be perfectly dry before it is
ironed; many laundresses object to IRON
ing such garments at all, preferring to
stretch them into proper size and
smoothness. -Harper's Bazaar.

AGGRESSIVE.
The Rum Power Constantly Reaching Gus
After Fresh Victims.

After Fresh Victims.
The Rum Power is aggressive. If it
did nothing but supply the besotted
victims of its power with the means OF
gratifying the appetite to which they
are slaves, denying all others, its reign
would end in few years, when these
captive wretches all filled early graves.
But it is constantly reaching out for
new victims. Every boy who enters a
saloon for the first time for a drink is
looked upon as one to educate into the
habit, one who is to be, as speedily as
possible, made victim of this awful
appetite, that his daily wages may be
drawn into the Golfers of the saloonist.
On every side, men are tempted to
drink. Along the streets of our cities
the brilliantly-ljghteds saloons invite the
thousands of young men beginning
their career to drop in and spend their
evenings. They are more attractive
than the cold little bedroom in u
boarding house which is the only home
that thousands of them have. The sa-
looms afford light, and warmth and
merry company. Is it any wonder that
our young men visit them? But the
punctilious unwritten law of the sa-
loon is that he who is visitor must be
a patron, or be kicked out into the
street as 'loafer." The boys drink,
not because they like it, but to give
them the entree. The drink habit is
begun, the fearful appetite for liquor is
born, and the young mans feet are on
the down grade.
The aggressiyeness of the Rum
Power is not confined to the city. All
over the West, where half-dOZen
houses clustered together form the
nucleus of the future town. an outpost
of the drink demon is stationed. A
saloon is often the first ''business
house" opened in the incipient village
to supply the thirst of those already
welded to the habit, and to draw in
fresh victims to join the unnumbered
army of drinIl-ruined men whose steps
are on the downward path.
When all these things are considered,
the miserable apology that ''if there
was no demand for liquor there would
be none sold," appears in its true light
"a mere plea that the saloons may go
on unmolested to turn men into beasts,
to waken in their physical system a
thirst that no waters can allay, that the
Golfers of those who deal out liquid
damnation to their fellow-men may be
filed with the money that should go
for food, for clothing, for the comforts
of life to the miserable victims and
their innocent but suffering families

Crepe de Chine or Canton Grape is
now so skilfully initiated at Lyons that
the generic title crepe de Chine is used
indiscriminately for the one and the
other, and as each answers its purpose
SO admirably. purchasers need not
hesitate about the origin if the quality
meets the requirements OF the lndl-
vidual taste and purse. The genuine
fabric IS simply firmer and more soft
and pliable, and is also pure silk. The
Canton grapes have an under-thread
either of cotton or wool, but so dexter
ously hidden as to defy detection ex-
cept by an expert; and as the silk It's
sue costs about forty per cent. more
than its duplicate and is often less deli
cate and beautiful IN coloring, the
choice is now largely given to the Can
ton grapes. At their best these fabrics
appear but for a season, then vanish
like all other airy fairy tissues of sim
liar diaphanous descriptions; therefore
the wide difference in the cost of one
and the otheris matter worthy Of con-
