A Beautiful Curtain.

The curtain at the new English
opera house is one of it's sights, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. AS it hangs
closed it looks like magnificent, pair
OF golden gates. 1t was made by
Messrs. Helbronner, of Oxford street
1t measures thirty-three feet high and
is forty-eight feet wide; special ware
room had to be hired for it to be made
in. The base is gold-colored silk,
on which has been worked an applique
OF a darker tone of the same color.
The applique-a forated adoption OF
fruit and foliage, pineapple and pome-
granates, conventionally treated-is
of the Renaissance period, and is
from a design by the architect, ingen-
iously carried out by Messrs. Hell
bronner. The applique is outlined by
a fine cord OF silk; fringe with tassels
decorates the foot of the curtain
The silk is about a yard wide; and
between 500 and 600 yards OF it, and
more than thirty gross OF cord have
been used in the curtain. The silk
was made in Lyons, and the cord and
fringe in London. The lining is OF yell
low sateen, and the substance of the
curtain is obtained by layers of wad-
ding. The valance is also applique
work in bright reds, yellows and
browns, and has been carried out by
the same embroiderers

1t is mistake to eat quickly. Mas
tication performed in haste must be
imperfect even with the best of teeth,
and due admixture OF the salivary
secretion with the food cannot take
place. When a. crude mass of made
quately crushed muscular fiber, or I'm.
divided solid material of any descrip.
ton, is thrown into the stomach, it
acts as a mechanical irritant, and sets
up a condition in the mucous organ,
which greatly impedes, if it does not
altogether prevent the process OF indi-
gestion.
When the practice OF eating quickly
and filling the stomach with unpre,
pared food is habitual the digestive
organ is rendered incapable of perform,
ing it's proper functions. Either a
much larger quantity of food than
would be necessary under natural con.
dltions is required, or the system suf,
fers from lack of nouris', nent. The
matter may seem asmall one, but it is
not so. just as a man may 60 on fo1

Hard and Soft Food.

Experience shows that hard food Is
better than soft food for poultry, not
that it contains more nutrition, but
Tor the reason that when soft food is
given the hens are tempted to eat a
larger proportion than should be
the case. Thegiving of soft food leads
to overlooking and i1npairs the diges-
ton: 1t also supplies the wants of
the fowl more readily than hard food.
and.so completely satisfies it that the
lnducement to work and scratch-so
essential to health and the thrift of
the FOWLS lessened. There is the
fact that when giving soft food the
poultryman, by mixing several kinds,
IS llke y to give more OF one kind than
may be needed, while with hard grains
the fowls have a greater privilege OF
selection of that which they prefer;
but with mixed soft food, they must
eat everything of which it is composed
ALL or none-and thereby surfeit
themselves. It is proper to give soft
food, so as to feed some needed sub
stances, but we believe three times a
week sufficient. Give whole grain and
scatter it far and wide, or mix it with
a litter, thus compelling each hen to
hunt and scratch for all she receives,
which will keep her in health and pro-
mote egg production.-Farm and Fire

Farm Notes.

clean them.
In selecting vegetables for the use OF
the family the garden should contain
those OF the best quality in preference
to size or quantity.
Some clay lands are so stiff that the
water cannot 60 down. Such lands
are benefited by deep ploughing, sub
soiling and tile drainage.
Economy in feeding means provid-
ing the COWS with a generous allow
ance of the food that will produce the
most returns.
Don't leave tools ofany kind lying
out in the weather. Have place for
everything and have everything in it's
place.
Give your floral plants sufficient
water, but not too much. If hewater
be about the same temperature as the
air, it will be better than having it
either too warm or too cold. =

Farmyard Manure.

1t is evident that farm or animal
manure must be the principal depend
encefor keeping up fertility of the soil.
The use OF commercial fertilizers and
green crops, as aids, is often advan-
tageous, but they should not be relied
upon exclusively. 1t is an item of
considerable Importance to make,
save, and apply all the manure posi-
bic; but at the same time it is also an
item to do the work as economically
aspossible.
The solubleparts Of the manure are
much the more valuable, and for this
reason it is important to use plenty
OF material as absorbents, so as to
retain all of the liquid and readily
soluble portions. For the same rea-
son it is also important to see that
the manure is properly protected from
rain, as this causes q loss by teaching
and evaporation, and if manure is
thrown into hills to rot, it should be
protected from teaching rains.
Another item in rotting before haul
ing out is that during fermentation
manure throws off organic manner in
in gaseous form and unless consider
able care is taken in handling there
will be loss Of nitrogen. Some use
gypsum, spreading in layers as the
manure is thrown on, in order to as
sist in retaining the nitrogen.
The most etfectual plan OF prevent
ing loss is to haul the manure and
scatter directly on the fields where it
is needed. If the ground is plowed
there will be q very small loss ofplant
food in any form. On steep hillsides
where there is a strong liability to
wash, there may be some loss; on
land that is reasonably level there
will be little if any loss, the valuable
parts being taken up and re-
tanned by the soil. OF course
we'll rotted manure contains a
larger per cent OF soluble matter, and
will be of less benefit to the succeeding
crops than when applied fresh. 1t re-
qulres time to thoroughly rot manure
whether in piles in the yard or in the
field. There is more work and more
risk OF loss by piling and rotting be-
fore hauling out, and especially so if
left without protection; but if proper
ly handled it will decay in less time.
The more thoroughly the manure is
rotted and fined the more readily it
can be incorporated with the soil, and
the better the immediate results Sc
cured. Whichever plan is followed
care must be taken to avoid waste,
and at the same time lessen the cost
OF handling

Dairy Advantages.

l. farmer with dairy does not
have to wait from sced-time to har-
vest, as a. grain raiser does, before he
can realize any cash from his labor.
A dairy rightly managed is asource of
profit the year around. The income
IS steady one becausethe production
is steady and evenly distributed over
the whole season. remember one fall
when potatoes brought IS cents per
bushel and the next summer l threw
my whole energy into potato produce
ton. The result was that / sold nv
whole crop Of tubers for 121b5 cents per
bushel. less than they cost me for
raising. In all my later experience in
dalrylng [ have never seen it's pro-
ducts go to such extremes in price.
Yes, sir, if you want an income you
can depend on q rightly managed dali
ry every time.
2: There is really less labor to be
performed on asemi-dairy farm than if
grain production alone were the rule.
The charm of agriculture life lies in di-
versltied farming, and the diversified
ton must, or should, include dairy
ing.
3. Dairying in measurereturns to
the soil some of the fertility it has ex-
tracted, while exclusive grain raising
impoverishes without giving a recon-
pense.
4. Dairying gives you a chance to
manufacture your own product before
you market it, which you can not do
with wheat, corn, ect. By becoming
your own manufacturer you save to
yourself the manufacturers profits,
which is a round in the ladder toward
bettering your financial condition.
S. Dairying is a reliable bus
mess, and one which gives a large
proportion Of gain for the capital
invested, Even the poorest dairy
cows yield far more than their beef
worth in milk every season, while
those that are of better blood and
are more wisely fed yield double and
treble that amount.
6. A family supply dairy of but one
COW possesses tenfold advantages over
the milkman's cup. 1t is said that in
France when one is vaccinated against
SMALLPOX, the heller from whose body
the vaccine IS to be extracted is led
into thepresence OF the patient, and
the virus transplanted from the body
OF the animal to the arm of the lat
ter. l suppose that this is to assure
the patient Of the genuineness and
healthfulness of the virus used, as
gross fraud is perpetrated in such
matters as we'll as in others. In the
matter of using the milk and butter
produced from your own COW, stabbed
on your own premises, and grazing in
your own pasture lot, you have the
assurance OF healthfulness, cleanliness,
and general good quality. The writer
does not laud the advantages Of dairy
ing simple to hear herself talk, but from
an honest conviction that mich
husbandry is one Of the most valua-
BILE requisites OF farming. We have no
desire to present it's claims in a false
light, but rather to spread it's legiti-
mate points before the eyes OF all men.
Don't ever be driven into dairying
against your better convictions but if
you conclude to embark in the bust
ness at all, give it's management

succeed. -,

Stock and Their Drink.

One of the worst things to contend
with in the care OF stock is their drink.
No creature will thrive if compelled to
go thirty or forty rods to drink and
then get it by standing in the mud up
to their knees, or in a cold northwest
wind that will chill them so that thew
won't get warm for the next twenty
four hours. Farmers had better hire
money at twelve per cent. to bring
water to their barns than compel their
stock to travel Off in the fields to
drink.

is impossible ever to feed farm stock
by any lnvariable rule. Some excep-
lions will never come in. General
rules, however may be followed with
1alr success. The farmer who neglects

or a steam engine or an electric motor
without a fair knowledge of the work
ings OF the apparatus composing these
lhtflcate agents of great power, he
would be styled silly. Yet it is not
unusual for a boy or any ignorant
man to have almost exclusive charge
or the feeding of several thousand dol
lars worth OF live stock. In fact
such a person often owns and directs
the feeding and care of great many
valuable animals. Lack of a. little

Deep Flowing.
Deep blowing has always been con-
sldered as a bugbear by the average
farmer, and much opprobruim has
been cast upon it by the mistake
made by it's advocates who have been
ignorant OF the principles upon which
the practice of blowing land depends.
10 merely turn the land to depth of
eight, nine, or ten inches is to court
disaster by burying fertile surface soil
under several inches OF raw unfertil-
lied subsoil. TO eat and digest food
are means Of life, but to gorge an AM
mai is to destroy life, and in like man.
ner the feeding OF plants is to be made
the object IN preparing the soil by the
pillow. The soil should be plowed at
least eight inches deep, as a. rule, and
to tit it for such blowing it is to be
made fertile to that depth or deeper.
Only fertile soil is to be deeply plow-
cd, and every farmer should know of
what his soil consists, and it's condi-
ton, before he puts a pillow in it. If it
is shallow and i'll fertilized, the first
business is to deepen it and fertilize it
gradually until at least eight inches of
soil filled with plant food are avail
able: Nothing else more tends to
deeply fertilize a soil than blowing
under clover, and it would nav anv
