colors are red. brown and blue, and the
bright reds are very pretty trimmed
with black. Such gowns are very de-

many days in summer that they are
most comfortable. particularly if one
is not feeling well, or at the seaside.

CABBAGE RATIONS.
An Excellent Food For Cows When Given

An Excellent Food For Cows When Given
in Moderation.
In reply to the question: ITO what
extent cabbages may be given to cows
without proving hurtful. would say
that. having fed with cabbages for
many years, l never knew of them
proving hurtful;'' bat. Them they
were always giveh-as every kind OF
food should be-in moderation. This
L would consider to be two large cab
bages, or three smaller. if given once
day; and if given twice II day, two
middle-sized ones night and morning
would be sufficient A good cabbage
will weigh from 5 to 7 or even
pounds, SO that the ration would stand
thus: Once Il day, from 10 to Is pounds;
twice a day, to 10 pounds each serv-
ing There are two good reasons for
not overlooking with cabbage. They
are generally a limited crop. and. if
used sparingly it goes without saying
they last longer, and SO tide off the
necessity of having recourse to less in
nocuous substances: and also they are in
themselves 50 nutritious, and contain so
high percentage of gluten. that they
are better given as mixed ration than
as sole or even preponderating
food. Of the value of cabbage either
for man or beast there is little doubt.
Paterson. in his book on gardening.
says: Nothing on either garden or
farm will make a better return. The
late cabbage is the most valuable crop
for cows which can be produced. All
summer the leaves are inexhIustible,
and then the huge, solid. and savory
bolls cause the brutes in very gladness
to overflow with milk But it is in
the autumn and early winter. when
the pastures begin to give out. that
they come SO conveniently TO the front
keeping the cows in heart and health,
without spelling the flavor of the milk,
as is too often the case when root feed
ing is resortcd to. Therefore by all
means feed with cabbage. if You have
them. but see that you take due care Of
them. for there is nothing so good To
take their place when they ara gomez

HANDSOME SATINES.
Beautiful Dress Fabrics for Spring and
Summer Wear.

Beautiful Dress Fabrics for Spring and
Summer Wear.
The lines of satines of domestic
manufacture are very handsome and
hold their own we'll beside the French
goods. There is certainly very de-
cided difference in the patterns, but
our patterns show handsome designs
and fine quality in fabrics. There
are a number of reddish brown and
other brown grounds. strewn with odd
figures in gold color that are much adj
mired. These are thirty-two inches
wide and sell at twelve and one-half
cents n yard. All the new summer
tints are represented and handsome
line was noticed in stripes and plaids
with plain material for combination.
One piece shows wide stripe of Rus
sian blue alternating with gray shade,
and these are dotted with Persian de-
signs and colorings. There are satines
in red, brown and garnet grounds, with
unique geomctrical figures in yellow.
Japanese designs also flourish in these
goods and are particularly taking. The
toile du Nords appear in in charming
tints and colors and look us fresh and
attractive as possible. These standard
fabrics have claim upon women folks
that would be hard to obliterate. They
wear and do up beautifully and are
pretty, desirable fabric. and the price
is extremely moderate.
Many of the Parkhill stripes are
lovely. the Claghorns also showing
beautiful colorings and varieties. The
large plaids are also in charming
mingling of tints, and most desirable
school and country dresses can be made
of the fine stripes represented on dark
colors. Among the new stripes are
those of various widths in the now fash
ionable solferino color with white, and
thes anne style is shown in the various
browns with white. Solferino is a
color that was much liked a few years
ago. but went out of fashion altogether.
Recently it was resurrected by Worth
who made rich dresses of it for nobility
and that settled the question.
The plaids are outlined with fancy
cord effects and are very pretty. Para
soils come to match many of these
handsome goods and win be used alto
gether in Paris during the coming sea-
son. In buying these materials it
would be well to remember this fact
and secure enough to have a parasol
made. The expense adds but little 20
..he toilet, but the style is greatly inn
proved There is nothing that so beau
titles a woman's dress as a becoming
parasol. 1t is most graceful Access
sion and is altogether charming. The
costume parasol will be a leading
feature in spring and summer fashions.
and it is already limited that the new
styles are surprisingly lovely.

PLANTINe eRApE WINES.
Valuable Advice on a subject which Should
Interest Every Farmer.

interest Every tarm0r
As yearling vines are more easily
trained than elder ones. they are usu-
ally chosen to plant They will do
well on any good corn land, but it is
best to choose southeast slope. The
roots, which are often a foot or more
long, should be cut back to eight inch
es, and must not be allowed to become
| dry +; also cut the stem back to one
foot They should be planted IN rows
running north and south, rows eight
! feet apart and eight feet between vines
in the rows. The holes should be two
feet or more in diameter and nearly or
quite eighteen inches deep. Plant the
vine in the middle of this hole and fill
in only enough TO cover the roots to the
! depth they grew in the nursery rows.
This will leave the hole ten inches
deep. which should be filled up during
the season. little at each cultivation.
Vines thus planted seem to better with
stand drought and frost.
Before much growth of vine is made.
some kind of trellis should be con-
structed. Common fence posts set two
rods apart in the rows. with two or
three smooth wires, makes a good one.
The top wire should be about four feet
from the ground. Only one cane
should be allowed to grow during the
first year, and it should be trained up
straight by means of slender pole or
lath attached to the wires. When the
leaves drop in the fall. cut this cane
back, leaving only three strong buds.
and cover the stub with
small mound of earth. The second
spring allow only two canes to
grow. Train both of these obliquely
on the wires to the nOrthward. In the
fall, if the canes are strong, cut the
laterals back to two or three buds and
the main canes 10 two to five feet long,
according to their strength. Lay them
on the ground and place few spade
fuls of earth on them SO as to cover the
tips and crown. and to hold the vine
down. They will thus be protected
from the extreme changes of temper
allure and from evaporation from the
cut ends and bark.
Leave them in this position until the
leaves begin to swell in the spring,
then tie up us before. By this method,
which is essentially that recommended
by Prof. j. L. Budd, of Iowa. the vines
are in good form for future pruning.
This should be done each fall. just after
the leaves have dropped. All laterals
should be cut back to two to five buds,
according to strength. and too many
spurs should not be left, as the object
of this trimming out of old wood is to
let air and light have free access. The
vines should be laid down and partly
covered with dirt each winter there
after in localities where they are liable
TO freeze back. In the spring, after
the buds have begun to swell on ex-
posed parts. they can easily be raised
with six-tined fork and tied to the
wires of the trellis. Bones are espec-
tally good fertilizers for grapes. They |
should be placed foot or SO deep near
the vines. Roots have no trouble in
finding them. even if few feet away.

REPUBLICAN, RULE.

Tho Black Record of the Ring Ridden
Party Shown Up.
For twenty-three years. man and

Broken night of it's despotism. Its
deeds of darkness would ill volume.
Its rogueries were as the sands upon

stitution rs the leaves upon the trees
Every office that existed at the time of
its ascendancy, or that was created
afterward, was filled with partisan,
and not only mere partisan in a null
ttitude of cases. but an officious. often
ssive and aggressive partisan-one of
the gadfly kind. pestiferOus insectiver-
Dous and always on the wing. In
political sense. a Democrat was not
only IL newer of wood and drawer of
water, but he belonged to- an inferior
race of human beings. deficient in
mentality, and utterly incapable of
sharing in the administration of the
Government because OF it, even if he
had not been traitor per Sc, whose

"or e!tiz enship in tho land would have

had engraved thereon the single
word "slave Ibis domicile might

scient amount of atmospheric oxygen

furnished it perfect cohesion; the iron
of its war begetting had so long fur

had been the sound sheep of its undis-
aurbed confidence. and so thoroughly

and reiteration of it's own hypocrisy
and cant. that when one fine day the

on he leased the Eagle Mills
and the building was occupied by
Threikeld & Clapp as a coffee
factory. Later on it changed hands
and Leopold Winter and Henry
| Weber started the Los Angeles
Cracker Company and have occupied
| the building ever since. 1t caught fire
once before in 1874 but was not entirely
destroyed and the firm has made
several additions to it during the
time they have been supplying the
county with crackers. No one knows
how the fire originated last night, but
| it started in the wooden portion OF
the building containing the machin-
cry. The firemen turned their atten-
ton to this portion of the building
first, and by the time all danger of
spread was passed in this direction,
the interior Of the brick building was
beyond hope. The fire department
worked we'll and hard, and by one
O'Clock the only thing for them to do
was to put out the embers. Hall an
hour before the fire man whose
name was not learned passed the
building and saw light but supposed
it was all right. The night watch
man looked into the building at 10
O'Clock and there was no fire at that
time, but truck-man discovered
the fire and turned in the alarm: A
curious feature OF the fire was the
visit OF dog which slept with a
baker named Schulter to friends
house where he barked and raised
such a noise that the people started
toward the mill just as the fire bell
rang. Schulter slept in the building
and is supposed to have been
burned as he could not be
found anywhere about the fire.
Another man sleeping in the same
building sprang out in his night
clothes and said he could not get the
others out. Improvements amounting
to $1,000 in carpentery work and
SIS, 900 in machinery had just been
added to the factory, and yesterday
was the first time that the new machin- |
cry was operated. The total loss was
in the neighborhood Of $50, 900 or $40,
900, insured for about 10000 with
Mcssrs. Hellman & Haas and Major
