 Shetland shawls in picturesque colorings are much used for driving and travelling cloaks The fringe forms a suitable trim ming for the front and hem.
 Red is long way ahead of any other color in millinery. Military red is the shade that one sees on most of the new models that have just come over from Paris.

good tight roor Is indispensable; cold rains and snow will cause roup and other diseases If the sides of the house are thin and open they may be made almost impervious to the cold by placing tall cornstalks against the outer walls. This is both inexpensive and easily done, and the stalk fodder can be quickly removed next spring. There is no real necessity for building costly, elaborate houses for poultry; simple, inexpensive structures will answer every purpose, provided they are comfortable and convenient. Before winter sets in clean the house thoroughly and give it a good coat of whitewash, sprinkling kerosene upon walls, perches and floors; then make a number of new nests of soft grass, leaves or straw, and last of all dust the floor literally with dry earth or fine coal ashes. If your hens have not been accustomed to laying Tn the henhouse, contine them there for several consecutive days until 9 or 8 o'clock in the afternoon, and they will soon become attached to the house, es- pecially if food and water are supplied them. It is also good plan to place their dust baths indoors. rs.-American Poultry Yard.

Cu->-NS IN COLD WEATHER.
How to Prepare Your Flock for tho
 Coming of Winter.

NohiAhs or "h'er.
 The first thing to do is to reduce the size of the flock. Do not try to winter more than your henhouse will shelter comfortably; crowding together invites disease. Experienced poultry keepers find that from fifty to one hundred hens are as many as can be profitably kept in one yard; when the number is increased the proportion of eggs is lessened. So cull your flock judiciously, leaving those only that you feel sure will do good work. Be hard hearted for once, and gather up those long cherished favorites that are too old and too fat for future usefulness. Then select a number of your incest hens to keep Chose in their second and third year will be most profitable), and in addition to these choose about the same number of your prettiest bullets, which, if carly matched, will begin to layin thefall and continue at intervals throughout the winter. The eggs of the older hens, however, are best for matching, and the hens themselves will make more reliable mothers.
 Next, get rid of all your roosters ex- cept half a dozen of the finess--or, better still, market every one of them and buy lot of thoroughbreds. An infusion of new blood will work wonders. If your object IS to raise early broilers, procure some Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte cockerels, You will find that the chicks of mixed blood will be healthy, hardy and attain a desirable size. But should you wish to improve the laying qualities of your flock, buy a thoroughbred Leg horn cock, The bullets resulting from this cross will be much larger than the pure Leghorns, will prove excellent lay CTS and be less inclined to sit than their mothers. By succession of malicious crosses you can in few year, grade up a flock of common hens until they assume uniform color and markings. Such flock about the house and lawn Is really ornamental, and will give pleas ure to all who see it; and besides, one is less apt to consider troublesome the work of caring for that which is both handsome and profitable. After the flock Is reduced in number we can afford to feed it better, and We will probably find the number of eggs increasing, for it is the surplus food that makes eggs. Barely sufficient nutriment to sustain life leaves nothing over for egg production.
 The next thing to do is to take a look at the henhouse; the walls are probably not at all tight, numerous cracks all about, or a board of here and there. These openings were very useful last summer, admitting plenty of fresh air on sultry nights, but in winter there is TO need for so much ventilation Cold puri- ties the air everywhere, and an almost imperceptible aperture will cause quite a draft; therefore nail on the boards and make the house as tight as possible, for even the hardest breeds of fowls will produce few eggs in winter unleHs they have a comfortable roosting place A

Bass, pike and pickerel are the most

fruits.

fish reaches length of eight feet,
and individuals weighing fifty
pounds are not infrequent. The
average length of the species caught
in Michigan, however, is about four
feet, weighing thirty pounds. It seems
to shun eompanionship of numbers
of its own kind, and runs mostly in
pairs. Like other members of the pike
family, it preys upon smaller fishes,
and Its surprising strength and size
combine to make it one Of the most re-

( MODEL ICE PLANT.

The latter are fast giving place to am
monia machines, being opera ted on the
same general principle OF expansion.
A description OF the construction and
modus operandi OF an ammonia machine
will convey an intelligent idea Of how
ice is made by steam.
Every such apparatus consists OF three
parts: ~ An engine and ammonia
pumps, by means of which the gas is
aced under liquefying pressure; (2)
condenser, In which the impressed
gas, heated by the process OF compress
sion, is cooled and so changed into a
liquid form; (3) system OF evaporatng
coils, in which the liquid ammonia is ex-
panded into gaseous state and then
cools the surrounding space, when used
as refrigerator, or brine when employ
ed in making Ice.
Liquid ammonia is prepared by manu-
featuring chemists. and is furnished in
heavy iron drums TO guard against the
danger of explosion. 1t l. allowed to enter
the evaporating coils, and, having been
fully expanded, enters the compression
pumps and is fairly started on its cir
cult. :
What the heart is to the human body
the compression pumps are to the am
monia machines, and tits here that the
greatest strength must be combined with
the finest possible finish. The COM
pressor must be able to withstand
pressure Of more than three hundred
pounds to the square inch, while the
piston must fit so tightly and perfectly
tharnot even the subtle gas can find a
eak, and at the same time occasion no
great amount of friction. 1t is in the
construction OF the apparatus that the
greatest amount of ingenuity has been
exercised.
Another very important matter is the
cooling apparatus by which the COM
pressed gas is reduced in temperature
until 1t assumes a liquid form. Where
water can be cheaply attained, IL is
generally employed alone, the gas being
allowed to circulate through it in metal
oils. Where water is scarce, however,

piles OF coils are erected in the open

raj product 1t Is claimed TO have been
demonstrated from actual experiments
that manufactured ice requires, under
the same conditions, 10 per cent more
time to melt than does that naturally

Just now the demand for ice ma
chinery largely excels the producing
capacity Of all the factories In the coun-
try. This Is no doubt largely due TO the
mildness OF the past winter and the con-
sequent shortness of the ice crop; but
ice-making is largely on the increase,

in the extreme northern portion OF the
country. In Chicago refrgerating ma

convenient, but much cheaper than ice,
and Is employed by the greater part OF
the breweries, packing-houses and cold
storage establishments. 1t is claimed
that ice can be made In Chicago for 90
cents ton, which is doubtless much less
than tho cost OF the natural article in

The Germans have gone deeper into
the science Of making artificial ice than
any other nation. They have technic-
ally exhausted the subject, but are a
long way behind the United States in
the character and practical operation OF
the machines actually in use.
