recommendation is that it does not

pork always complain OF it as too fat.
They arc eating in the pork what the

Prof. Shelton, OF the Kansas Agri-

planted thickly in drills. and shocked

milk stage, is the best and cheapest
fodder. This is agreed to by Wis

and larger quantities every year.
Dairymen in Dakota should make g.

the value Of the corn crop. as their
neighbors do.

quart Indian meal, two quarts each

pint OF oilnleal. This should be mixed
with about half a bushel of cut hay

~o1o OF ITO V0oOs
DIR. Nichols, senior editor OF Popular
Science News, in an article in that
journal, attributes the early badness
of men, which is now so noticeable IN
churches, theaters, lecture-rooms and
political assemblies, to modern false
methods OF treatment of the hair and
scalp. There is too much washing,
shampooing and rubbing done. too
much soap, ammonia and alcohol
used for the good ofthe hair. He says:
Women do not shampoo or wash
their hair as often as the other sex
and consequently they are in a large
degree exempt from badness in mid
Gle life. 1t is true, however, that
many women in cities make frequent
visits to the hairdressers, and subject
their tresses to the "scouring" process.
II this becomes common, it willnot be
long before badness will overtake the
young mothers as we'll as the fathers.
and the time will be FASTENED when
the children even will have no hair
to destroy with ammonia or other
caustic cosmetics.
The advice we have to offer to
young men and maidens is: Let your
hair alone; keep at safe distance
from hairdressing.rooms and drug
shops, where are sold oils, alkaline
substances, alcoholic mixtures, ETC.,
for use upon the hair. The head and
the hair may be washed occasionally
with soft, tepid water, without soap
of any kind. AS a rule, the only APP
planes needed in the care of the
hair are good combs and brushes; and
they should not be used harshly, so
as to wound the scalp. Avoid all
'electric" and wire made brushes.
No electricity can be stored in a hair
brush; if it could be. it is not needed.
The hair is a beautiful gift OF nature,
and it must not be destroyed.

Hard and Soft Water in Cooking.
All cooks do not understand the
different effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and vese-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water, containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many vegetables, as onions,
boil neatly tasteiess in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition OF salt often checks this, as
in the case of onions, causing the vey-
etables to retain the peculiar flavor
ing principles, besides such nutritious
matter as Nigh: be lost in soft water.
For extracting the JUICE o. meat to
make a broth or soup, soft water,
unsalted and cold at first, Is best, for
it much more readily penetrates the
tissue; but for boiling where the Juices
should be retained, hard water or
soft water sailed is preferable, and
the meat should be put in while the
water is boiling, 80 as to seal up the
pores at once.

SUPPRESSION OF TRUSTS.
The House Committee Finds the Sub
ject Perplexing.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The House
Judiciary committee to-day considered the
subject of trusts. There are a number Of
bills concerning trusts before the commit
tee, varying in the degree of severity with
which it is proposed to treat them, and
differing materially in details while agree
ing substantially in an intent to render them
imperative or to prohibit them. Chair
man Culberson was anxious 10 secure
a favorable report upon his own bill, but
the other measures also had their advo-
Gates, and as the discussion ran on the COM
plexity Of the problem began to appear,
with the result of convincing the members
of the committee that the subject will re-
Guire very nice treatment before measure
can be framed that will avoid constitutional
and other objections and yet be Of avail in
checking the operations of the trusts No
action resulted from to-day's meeting, and
consideration of the subject will be con-
tinued at another session.
The trusts can rest secure in the confident
expectation that there will be no legislation
affecting them by congress at this session.
The Senate may pass Mr.. Sherman's i'm
practicable bill, imposing penalties upon
evident, from the discussion in the
House committee on the judiciary
to-day that this bill, which would
be referred 10 this committee if it ever got
10 the House, is considered inadequate 1t
was also evident that the difference of
opinion among the members of the COM
mittee as to what sort of bill would be
adequate was so great that no bill would be
reported in time to be passed this session.
