HERE AND THERE.

Ewes that have weaned their lambs
may be fattened very easily if given
two meals day of grain with plenty
OF grass in the pasture.
"A fruit-grower who draped plum
tree with a mosquito net to keep of
the curculio, obtained twenty-five
quarts of fine fruit. Another covered
a single branch with equal success!
Keep squashes and pumpkins away
from the cantaloupes and watermelons.
In fact, it is best to grow no pumpkins
on farm where melons are raised, as
the bees carry pollen from one plant
to another.
About the surest remedy for the
hordes of army worms that devastate
meadows and grain fields is to ditch
against their progress and mash them
as they accumulate in the ditch.
"A fruit tree that is kept healthy
and in good condition is far less liable
to the attacks of insects than one which
has been allowed to suffer from neglect,
just as healthy animal is better able
to withstand disease than feeble one.
Keep both animals and trees in good
condition by care and judicious feed

or declares that farmers are governed
too much by acres and not enough by
bushels. They decide to plant so many
acres, and they make their manure go
over it, and it is apt to be pretty thin.
The rule should be to put on all the
manure the crop can use, and stop
when the manure is gone.
Don't forget to give your breeding

Chufas.

A correspondent says that chuias are
the same as the ordinary nut-grass of
the South! Has he ever seen the two
plantsp The common nut-grass is a
native of the South, we believe. At
all events, it has been growing here
since the time when the memory OF
man runneth not to the contrary. 1t
has been known on the South Atlantic
coast for the past hundred years, cer-
tainly, and has gradually extended, or
been carried, into the interior. II is
rightly feared as one of the greatest
pests in the shape of grass that farm
er can have on his place, as it actually
operates to depreciate the value of the
land by really taking possession of it.
When 1t has once taken possession
of tract of land, We do not believe
that there is any practical means Of
getting rid of it. The roots ramify in
every direction, and with the small
knots, or nuts, extend very deep. Now
chufas and nut grass, while somewhat
similar in appearance and manner of
growth, are really very different
things. Tho nuts arc certainly three
or four times as large as those on nut
grass, and the roots do not take pos
session of the land or work it any in-
jury, and are easily eradicated when
ever their eradication is desired. We
have planted them considerably, and
have never had any cause for dissatis-
faction with them. They are indi-
genous to Spain, and have been
grown in the South for
many years, and we have never
heard before that they were introduced
by the Department of Agriculture.
They are well known to be very ex-
celent food for the purpose of fatten-
ing hogs, being so prolific that one
acre is capable of keeping twenty hogs
fat for month. We do not PERSONAL
ly like the fat or flesh made by chufas,
as both are apt to be soft and flabby;
but this may be only matter of taste,
and many farmers in the South would
not agree with us in this opinion. In
any event, even if this be general re.
suit, it may be rectified by penning the
hogs and feeding them for ten days
on corn. 1t is the custom to
plant the nuts in drills, opened
about two and half feet apart, drop
ping them ten inches apah in the drills,
While growing they are cultivated
regularly, as corn or any other crop
until midsummer, when they shad,
the rows so that no other weed OF
grass can grow. In the fall, when Tho
tops have been killed by frost, tn,
hogs are turned upon them, and the,
and the turkeys scratch and root then
up and thrive upon them. They re
quire good land, and do not amount Il
much on poor soil. On good land the
yield per acre is very large, and they
certainly afford very useful food fol
hogs and poultry. p. +. in Farm

rings serve as fitting set to their
Youthful charms. In the good old times
Jewels and gold ornaments were be-
queathed from one generation to an
other, and nobody ever thought of
calling them old-fashioned or ugly: but
of late years the fashions in jewelry
change with the seasons. This is pleas
ant in one way, because it leaves one
always anticipating something new,
but it's rather expensive. The leweler
helps his fair customers out of the diff
Guilty in some measure by taking back
Old-Style ornaments at reduced rate.
A prominent Nicollet avenue dealer, in
a conversation the other day, told a
GLOBE reporter of another custom
which is growing into great favor. He
said: 1.-The manufacturers of imita-
lions of precious stones have become so
expert that they are able to deceive
even connOisseur, unless he can apply
scientific tests. These counterfeit
stones are set with plated gold in the
most approved STYLE"
'Do fashionable people buy them?'
was asked.
'.They don't often buy them," he re-
piled, ''but they often rent complete
sets for evening receptions or parties.
They can be tolerably sure that no one
will know the truth about the matter,
and they need not worry about the
safety of their jewels, because if they
were stolen or lost the loss would be
only trifiing."
The jeweler showed a tray, contain
ing a full set of mock diamonds and
pearls, which he had rented for re-
cent society affair. They were so pretty
that it seemed hard to think that they
were only counterfeits of the real arti-
Gle.
OF course, this practice of renting
cheap jewelry might commend itself to
those who are trying to keep up appear
ances and find the process rather eX-
pensiye. But how about the ladies who
have ample means? 1t will be rather a
perpleXIng thought that their expensive
Jewels look no better than the imitation
worn by the parvenn. 1t might be well
for some of the Improvement and Lit
erary societies" to take up this burning
question and decide upon some trade
mark which shall serve to separate the
true from the false. Moralists have
been trying that problem in the case of
human nature and haven't made con-
spicuouS success of it either. But wo;n-

A Fortune Necessary For the

The outfit of debutante is becoming
as elaborate as the trousseau of bride.
Not infrequently it costs as much,
usually it is just as complete and we'll
ordered down to the minutest detail.
To launch girl successfully in society,
writes Ella Orborn, in the Boston Her
aid, as charming as may be found may
not involve the expenditure of more
than $50. On the other hand 1000 is
often spent, and $1,000 is not considered
large sum. Some families lavish S10,-
600 on the adornment of a bud just
ready to unfold its leaves. 1t is an
abrupt transition, that of the little girl
of yesterday into the young lady of
to-day. and, not improbably, it has
called for three or four months study
in the ateliers of Worth, with supple
mentary researches in the markets of
Vienna and Berlin to emphasize prop,
erly the change. The society bud is
out of the green calyX stage. She shows
the pink, and from the crown of her
pretty head to the soles of her dainty
feet her attire must bloom.
-
The debutante in tulie has become a
classic. Slender waist. tightly swathed
in smooth white silk, rising like a sea
nymph from pillows on pillows OF foam.
It looks purity and simplicity itself, but
in reality it is very costly gown. There
is, first, the silk foundation skirt. Then
there are puffings and platings and
founcings Of muslin to give airness and
buOyancy. Then there is a skirt over
skirt, nobody knows how many skirts,
of tulle before the thistiedown is ready
to float in the waltz. Twice she Will
wear it, maybe three times if she be a
dainty and careful maid, then it is
crushed and broken beyond recognition,
as if you had rubbed the down off a
butterfy's wing.
The tulle fairy fastens flowers on her
shoulder. They trail across her bodice
and fall down over her skirt. Some
times the fancy takes her to depart
from the tulle conventions and become
flower herself. Then she wears a
poppy or a lily or rose gown. Her
tulie skirts become petals, cut after the
shape of the posy she has chosen and
given freedom to SWAY as the flower
sways, making the pretty girl rise and
fall with the ightness of the ballet
dancer to Strauss music.
