LAMPS FOR THE TABLE.

Ornaments OF silver Of every kind for the
table are in great favor at present For a
speciality in this decoration one might have a
center lamp of silver. with its large shade of
colored silk under lace. At each corner of the
table a small one may be placed with flowers
III silver bowls and small dishes Of silver also
The lamps or small pots of flowers at the cor
ners are quite English" as well as the lamp
in the center. The only objection to raise
against the center lamp is that it obscures
ones opposite neighbors, the same as the high
centerpieces of flowers, which have been
finally brought low.

Thus close and intricate eject is produced
without much work. The edges are sometimes
finished In outline stitch and sometimes a whole
strand Of the noss il couched around the edge,
this corresponding with the work itself better

many stif-looking designs are very effective
when embroidered. This style Of work can be

A sEAwRED DINNER.
A FERN BREAKFAST
is one form of this style of entertainment. As

the name implies, ferns are used entirely for
the decoration. A bed of ferns is in the center
OF the table, with a vase rising from the midst
filled with the graceful spreading fronds. In
front of each place is small vase of green
glass filed with maiden-hair, the daintiest OF
all the fern family. White and green grapes
are in low silver dishes and the name cards are
fern leaves of pale green silk. This would be

DECORATED MESu CARDS.

Simple menu cards may be decorated by
making two holes in one corner and drawing a
natural flower through. Here is another fancy
for designating guests place: A rose in full
bloom Is laid at each plate. On one petal the
the name is written and then an electric cur
rent is applied, which turns the lettering white
upon the glowing rose leaf. Different colors of
roses are chosen and a charming effect is Sc
cured.
Electricity has been similarly applied to hand
bouquets this season. One such effect was in
bunch of green -hued orchids, mignonette
and ivy. in the depths Of which were a dozen
or more small lights flashing like fire flies.

NEEDLEwoRK DECORATIONS

among the handsome pieces OF needlework
for use on the dinner table are the center mats
OF silk or satin, done in Portuguese laid work.
Conventional flowers are the best designs for
such work, and no shading is used, though two
or three distinct colors often used in one
flower. When this is done the surface Of the
flower is equally divided between the colors. up
and down. whole strand of flo floss is threaded
into the needle and drawn through onto the
right side on the outline of the pattern The
needle is then put through on the opposite side,
making a strand Of the silk reach from one side
of the design to the other Each time the
needle is put in and ont close to the last stitch
until the surface OF the design is closely COW
cred on the right side, with only small stitches
showing at the back. After this 10 done two
threads OF silk are taken in the needle and put
across at regular spaces in the opposite direc.
ton to the first laid threads, and these are
fastened down with almost invisible stitches.

ried out this season. Brown leaves and Christ
mas roses tied with russell brown ribbons made
one combination. One florist expended his
energies in connecting a really desolate- locking
ornament, as follows: A looking glass lake in
the center OF the table was surrounded by
stones half covered with moss. In the middle
of this waste of waters rose a rocky, mossy
island, from which grew leaaess plant, EN-

The Cherry for Profit.

In an essay read before a Nebraska
horticultural society, member who had
pursued cherry culture with profit for
some years made the following remarks;
In planting, we prefer to set strong
aAd growing varieties. like the Early and
L..e Richmond, twelve to fourteen feet
apart in the row, and the rows sixteen
feet apart. Trees of a more dwarf habit,
like the English Morello, Ostheim, and
many Of the Russian varieties, we think
need less room. Some Of the Russian
cherries need no more than ten feet in the
row, and the rows twelve to fourteen feet
apart We regard It as important that
the trees should be headed within eight
cen inches or two feet from the ground;
that the heads should always be kept
low, the trunks completely shaded;
and we believe it 10 be of advan-
tage 10 have the heavy laden branches
trailing to the ground, as may be seen in
many of our trees. The expense of pick
ing the fruit is much lessened in this
way, and we believe that the trees are
healthier and longer lived. There IS a
greater amount Of twigs, OF bearing sur
face, on the tree; and where the trees in
DE row are mulched, and the space be-
tween the rows kept pulyerized with a
disk pulyerizer, or other suitable tools,
we believe the result will be found very
satisfactory and cherry growing prohta-
bic. We plant about POI trees per acre.
Do not delay the setting Of trees until
late in the spring. Set before the buds
have opened, and shorten in at top, 50
as TO make the trees grow low and
gtOcky.

from Southern Fancier. The birds rep
resented are Buffalo Boy and Resale,
prize winners at the late international
fair at Buffalo, n. Y.
The Red Caps are an old English breed
Of many years. They have now been
before the American public about four
years; have never enjoyed a decided
BOOM" but are gradually winning
their way into the confidence of tho
American breeder. Ohio Poultry Jour
nal describes them as follows;
1.-THE distinguishing feature Of the
English Red Cap as suggested is the
rose comb, which should be Of good me-
dunn size, full Of fancy work or spikes,
standing perfectly straight on the head,
with long straight spike behind. OF
course the comb Of the cock should be
much larger than that Of the hen. The

RAISING CALVES.
Interesting Facts Presented by c. L. Flint
In His Work on Dairy Farming.

Interesting Facts Presented by G. T. Flint
IN His Work on Dairy Farming.
In Galloway and other pastoral dis
tricts where the calves are allowed to
suckle, the people are 50 much welded
10 their own customs as to argue that
sucking is much more nutritive to the
calves than any other mode Of feeding.
That sucking induces a greater secretion
of saliva, which, by promoting digestion,
accelerates the growth and fattening OF
the young animal, cannot be doubted;
but the secretion of that fluid may like
wise be promoted by placing an artificial
teat in the mouth Of the calf and giving
it the milk slowly, and at the natural
temperature. In the dairy districts Of
Scotland the dairy maid puts one Of her
fingers into the mouth of the calf when
it is fed, which serves the purpose Of a
teat, and will have nearly the same effect
as the natural teat in inducing the secre-
ton Of saliva. If that or an artificial
teat Of leather be used and the milk
given slowly before it is cold, the secre-
ton of saliva may be promoted to all the
extent that can be necessary.
According to the comparative expert
ments Of German agriculturist, cows
which as calves had been allowed to
suckle their dams from two to four weeks
brought calves which weighed only from
thirty-fye to forty-eight pounds, while
others, which as calves had been allowed
TO suckle from five to eight weeks,
brought calves weighing sixty to eighty
pounds. 1t is difficult TO see how there
can be so great a difference, if there is
any; but it may be worthy Of careful OBJ
servation and experiment, and as such it
is stated i'm this connection. The in
creased size of the calf would be due to
the larger size to which the COW would
attain; and if as a calf she were allowed
to run with her dam in the pasture four
or five months, taking all the milk she
wanted, she would be kept growing on
in a thriving condition. But taking a
calf from the COW at four or even eight
weeks must check its growth to some ex-
tent, and this may be avoided to some
extent by feeding literally and bringing
up by hand.
