Cost of Keeping a Horse.

The cost of keeping a horse by the
most of persons is mere guess work in
stead of careful figures. If one pur-
ehases good horse, years OF age,
for $3.50 it is good bargain. A top
buggy will cost 1925; cutter. S25; har-
ness, $50; robe, $40; blankets, 50; comb
and brush, 81; whip, 50; which amount
figures 1897. Now, If we take all into
consideration, these will last on an
average ten years. Perhaps the wagon
might last longer, but it would need
repairing in that time; on the whole
ten years is long average, as the
horse might be worthless in five years.
II it costs 1887 for ten years, it would be
at the rate of $39. 20 per year, and the
interest on the whole outlay at 6 per
cent. would be $20.22. Add to this at
least four tons of hay, which has aver
aged in the past ten years $l2 per ton,
$48; one ton of straw for bedding, 81;
ninety bushels of oats, at 80 cents per
bushel, $3.50; shoeing, s., and it
would be a cheap job to care for a
horse, wash wagons, etc, for 81 per
week, which would bring the price to
$50 per year, or the sum total of $l97. AZ
for the year at moderate figures. And
yet we find thousands who keep horse
and have no real business for it, and
do not keep a COW, when the cost of
keeping a horse viii keep two cows,
and yet they do not see how they can
keep cow. II. Andre, Ia RuraI

Tobacco Crop Status.

The farmers in this county now have
in their barns by far + Q best crop OF
tobacco that it has ever been our recol-
lection to see housed in Trigg. 1t is
large, has been we'll handled, and we
ascertain from planters that it has
been well cured. Some of it has been
stripped, but little priced, and
scarcely none sold. The subject
Of non-production next year has
some weight with farmers as
to when will be the most desirable
time to sell. The scarcity of money
will doubtless cause some TO put their
crops on the market earlier than they
otherwise would We have not heard
OF any large number of planters draw
ing money upon their crops. Up to a
recent date warehousemen did not
seem to be as anxious to risk money on
tobacco as they had heretofore, but OF
late there has been an offer from a
number OF reliable houses to furnish
a reasonable amount, and some have
accepted. Cadis (Ky.l Telephone.

How to Build It-Every Farmer Can Have
Ice.

How to Build It-Every Farmer Can Have
Ice.
g. NJ. Du Bots, Fremont County, Col,
writes to tho American Agriculturist that
he proposes to build an ice-house on a hill
side, where the soil to the depth of four or
five feet is sandy loan, underlaid by a
stratum of drift powders. He proposes to
dig into the hill-sid to depth of three or
four feet, and set the house into the excava-
ton; also to have vertical drain from the
bottom of the house to the stratum of bowl
ders.
We give herewith a sectional view Of an
ice-house which will serve the purpose OF
our correspondent and, with slight modifica-
tion Of the drain, the plan is adapted to gen.
eral purposes. The structure contem.
plated is twelve feet square, with posts ten
feet high The sills are scantlings two by
four inches, with studding and rafters OF
the same size, the latter set twenty inches
from the centers The inner walls are COW
cred with rough lumber nailed horizontally
to the studding An opening three feet
wide is left for the doorway. The roof is
shnglod, ventilator two feet WIDE and
four feet long being set IN the middle of the
peak. The outside is covered with dressed
clapboards, the space between those and
the inner wall being left empty. The outer
covering is only for looks, as the ice will
keep just as well without it. If a cheap
house is wanted the roof may be covered
with boards and battens instead of shingles,
and ventilation secured by an opening i'm
mediately under the caves. When the time

hold them in place, which is quite an inn
portant item, since the tops are so large and
heavy that they sometimes have a tendency
to slip out of place. The loss of one is quite
serious as they are made this winter"
Another jeweler long in the business,
rejecting on the query why gold hair-pin
shouldn't be made entirely of gold, said /:
swell, don't exactly know any good rea-
son, but suppose the ladies' all had gold
pins, since we had been selling them for
some time, aud so must have change of
some kind" The tops are of gold filgree,
cut work, heavy gold wires tied into large
and intricate knots, and enamel. Gold
hair-pins worn with jeweled tops have one
pin of straight and the other of twisted
wire to hold them in place At the top is a
tiny and almost invisible spring, to which
any kind of a handsome ornament is at
tached
| A diamond butterfly, posing and fiutter-
ing on the delicate spring, is very effective
in dark hair, and may be purchased for
fifteen hundred dollars.
| A diamond crescent six inches long on a
twisted hairpin Of gold surrounds the
braided crescent OF hair that crowns some
shapely head, and a large topaz pin set
round in flashing diamonds, costing eight
cen hundred dollars, holds a pale yellow
aigrette in place
| A short gold pin has semi-circle OF
daisies of white enamel set as heading
and another has "a small sea shell, about an
| inch in diameter, enameled with pale
tridesoence Of hues and set with sin gle
pearl.
A she'll pin has heavy gold serpent,

fortunate or younger women sigh with
envy.
The new style comes, of course, from
Paris, where there has recently been re-
vival of all the old elaborate modes Of
hair-dressing The Marie Antoinette
coiffures towering braids and puffs of
hair, fastened with fancy pins and combs
have been much affected by French women.
Americans are slow to adopt these exag-
gerated notwithstanding fashions; but after
the Psyche knot rage no form Of hirsute
mania will be surprising.
Braids, neatly fastened at the back Of the
head, have been stylish all autumn, but
with combs various innovations are threat
ened. Every woman will be free TO copy
the couture of her grandmother or her
great-grandmother. Puffs will inevitably
be revived, not only on top of the head but
over the temples, for side combs are the
latest fashion.
Some social leader, who doubtless had a
long, thin face, probably discovered that
her gaunt features were less prominent
with her hair crimped over the ears. 1t
has been stylish, since society came back
from sojourning by the damp sea waves,
for women to c-imp or curl the hair around
the temples. Side combs are the result of
these fashions, and they are so pretty that
no one can find fault with the baubles. But
let the round faced woman think twice be-
fore she cuts her ''scolding locks" and in
vests in side combs.
Combs are shown in great variety. They
are high and narrow, low and broad, and Of
many curious designs. All combs for wom-
EMS back hair are inevitably accompanied
by the little side combs.
Tortoise shell combs will, of course, be
the first choice of elderly women. For
ceits in dull and cut Jet. Silver, both bright
and oxidized, is much sought by women
with gray or iron-gray hair. For young
women the jewellers display an assortment
that is sorely tempting, and the ordinary:
girl will sigh for Christmas while she gives
expression TO the vague hope that some one
may give her q set of those perfectly
lovely' combs.
For blondes there are torquoises set in
tiny gold bands. Brunettes may be made
happy with amber or garnet combs. Cut
steel is handsome and likewise quite costly.
Gold combs, delicately wrought after Next
can and Spanish designs, will be reserved
for the few who can afford them. Each
| jeweler shows one or two sets that make
women dimly wonder who will be their
future possessors
The combs are of tortoise shell with
hinged tops, thickly incrusted with small
diamonds. But the rhinestone has not fall
