Fashionable Neck.Wear.

An economical and dressy way Of
using ribbons inside the neck of the
dress is to get very nice gros grain
ribbon that is only half an inch wide,
and gathering its lowest edge, sew it
just inside the dress collar, leaving
scarcely more than fourth of an inch
showing above the edge; this should
be very full to look we'll, and at each
end is left piece of the ribbon, four
or five inches long, to be tied in small
bow just in front. The purl-edged
ribbons that are inexpensive because
they have gone out OF use are espec-
tally pretty In white, yellow and scar
lot shades for these little frills, and are
used by Worth in preference to the
newer straight-edged ribbons Black
monkey collars, capes, muffs and bor-
ders for the fronts of cloaks are more
used than when first introduced, and
are inexpensive accessories to cloth
gowns, and to long cloth cloaks Of
gray-blue, mahogany and rosewood
shades. .-Harper's Bazaar.

\ Successful Physician.

In a large and lucrative practice run.
ming through a number of years, my
husband, by using Swift's Specific, re.
stored health to great many people in
whose cases all other remedies had
proven useless. To give list would be
to write the history Of stubborn maladies
and remarkable and wonderful cures.
I will mention the case of a young man
afflicted with blood poison for five years.
He was helpless for year-was blind
for some days, and his case seemed in.
curable-for under the usual treatment
he had grown worse, until his condition
was, to say the least, horrible; rheuma-
tism came on to add to his sufferings.
DR.. Love prescribed Swift's Specific, and
by it's use the poison was gradually
forced out Of his system, the sight re-
stored, the rheumatism cured, and to- day
he is sound and healthy man. My
husband regarded Swift's Specific as the
best known medicine for diseases which
it professed to cure. Mrs. j. T. LOVE.

One County's Experience in Careful
Breeding.

1t having been estimated that Put
nam County alone has spent 500, 900
for mules brought into Georgia since
the war, Mr.. w. F. Jenkins gives the
Eatonton Messenger some facts to show
what has been done in that fine agri-
cultural county in the way Of breeding
high-priced colts. He says: A few
years ago Captain A. S. Reid made an
investment Of $500 in q ten-months' -old
Wilkes colt, bred in Kentucky, and
brought him to our county. He after
ward sold him stallion for $1,000 and
a subsequent purchaser for $11 900.
His numerous progeny are the admira-
ton Of lovers Of fine horses. A few
instances of the profits to those who
bred to this remarkable horse while
here will demonstrate the wisdom of
raising instead of buying horses abroad.
Mr.. Hunt from an old bay mare that
peddles milk around town, worth prob
ably $75, has obtained five colts. The
first he sold for 1925. the second for
$3.50, the third for $3.50; the fourth he
swapped for three Jerseys worth $500,
and the fifth he values at $3.50, making
in all $1,175. Mr.. j. A. Slaughter from
an ordinary mare has obtained four
colts, realizing him respectively $l75,
1925, $3.50, $75 dollars, or 1926 in all.
Mr.. j. G. Ried paid $S5 Cor a mare and
obtained three colts valued respective
ly at $400, 5000 and $75, equal to $675.
Captain A. S. Reid, from mare once
sold for $50. has obtained three colts.
For one Of these he refused bona fide
offer of $500, another he holds at $400,
and another at $175, making in all

IN HAMEliN TOWN.
The village Whore Originated the Story
Of the Pied Piper.

The village Where Originated the Story
Of the Pied Piper.
In the bake-shop were boxes of bon
bons for sale. each box holding six
sugar mice and a diminutive tin fife;
and when, later, I wandered through
the streets Of Hamelin, l noticed that
every shop-window contained rats and
mice and merry-looking pipers, made
in porcelain, paper, bread or choco-
late.
The narrow by-way, on one corner
Of which stands the wonderful old
house, is called the "Drumless Street."
for since that day of misfortune, six
hundred years ago, when the children
danced down this by-way to the music
of their loved piper, neither the sound
OF drum nor fife, nor any other instru-
ment. is allowed within its limits.
The old tradition of the Pied Piper
has become widely famous through
two well-known poems, one by an
English, the other by u German poet.
How much OF 1t is true, one can not
exactly say, and of course at this late
day there is no one to ask. But cer-
tain it is. that something curious must
have happened in "Hamelin town."
for every traveller who strays to-day
through the Drumless street, and
looks up to the old house on the corr
nor can read this inscription:
AMMO 1884.
On the day Of st. John and St Paul, on the
% OF June 1870 children born In Hamelin were
led away by piper dressed IN divers colors,
and lost on the Koppen.
Upon an old house In the market
place called the Wedding-house, from
being used formerly for wedding
festivities, are these words;
After the birth OF Christ, In 1854, lSO chiidrer

sILAoe FOR SHEEP.
An English Writer Pronounces It the
Best and Healthiest Food.

An English Writer Pronounces It the
Best and Healthiest Food.
When silage has been used for in
lamb or sucking ewes, 1t appears to
have given the greatest satisfaction.
We believe, in fact, that there is no
better or healthier food for ewes than
good silage, Of the sweet, green kind.
The following account OF trial with
the feeding OF some lamb hogs during
the winter OF 1SS5-'86 will fairly ex-
emplify the value of silage for this
purpose. Toward the end Of Decem-
ber % OF the worst lamb hogs out of
lot of - were put on grass run Of
IA acres, and given sweet clover and
vetch silage al lib. The other 25 had
a grass run of 25 acres, and were given
cabbage and turnips. Both lots were
sold at the same time in the spring,
when those fed on silage made more
money by one shilling apiece than the
others. A good deal of evidence was
given before the Ensilage Commission
with reference to the value of silage
for sheep. Mr.. Bateman, for exam
pie, said that the effect on
the ewes was much more de-
cided than on the milking cows.
He had just testified that his
COWS gave pound of butter per COW
more on ensilage. 'For breeding
COWS" the witness continued, 1--WE
found it wonderful stuff" Mr.. Bate.
man then gave the experience OF one
Of his tenants. His flock was in the
depths Of despair; they had the foot
and mouth disease in the autumn, and
looked about as wretched as q
flock Of 400 ewes could look. About
Christmas they began to be fed with
silage, and soon picked up in re-
markable manner. When it came to
lambing time, in February, their bags
were distended beyond all expectation.
The flock had never had so healthy a
lambing. From eight to ten pounds Of
silage per day, with chaffed straw and
some roots, were given. Another wit
ness from Yorkshire reported that he
gave his sheep on grass rackful of
silage daily, and that when given a
rackful of silage and a rackful Of good
hay, they would eat the former greed
lily in preference. There is, indeed,
no question that sheep will take read
lily to good sweet silage, and will do
we'll on it. Now, that small stacks
can be conveniently made in different
parts of the farm, we ought never
again to hear OF shortness of keep for
sheep in the spring, especially as the
silage will keep good in stacks for
several years, so that the abundance
Of one year, may be saved for the
scarcity Of another Ensilage

When grain and hay crops are sold
of the land they carry away the fer
tility Of the farm, but when such crops
are fed to stock not only is a portion Of
the crops left over as manure, but q
higher price is received for such crops
in the shape of beef, pork, mutton or
milk, which enables the farmer to re-
store any loss of fertility by the in
creased receipts consequent upon the
keeping Of stock.
