OUTING DRESSES,

Neat and Stylish Costumes for Expedition
Wear.
Newly imported outing dresses of
navy blue serge have the skirt attached
to short corselet or bodice, which is
furnished with suspenders that pass
over the shoulders above a shirt waist
of washable silk. These suspcnders
are straps of the serge, two inches
wide, piped or corded with lighter blue
wool, and cut in one with the front and
back of the little bodice, which is mere
ly girdle or Swiss belt neatly fitted
and whale boned. The skirt is in bell
shape, without lining, and has hem
simulated at the foot with cord of
pale blue. A petticoat to be worn be-
meath is of blue silk or mohair. The
silk skirt has shallow yoke, box
pleat dowY the front, and turned-over
collar, to be worn with necktie; the
sleeves are full and straight, with
turned back cuffs. A jacket of blue
serge, fastened by strap buttoned
across the bust, is made with belt in
the back, with Tapped ends.
Other outing dresses have the faced
belt or bodice that became so popular
last year. A pretty model of bluet blue
Isle of Wight serge has sheath skirt,
with pointed pockets on the sides edged
with red and gold braid, and three
clusters of these braids are in rows
around the skirt near the foot. The
pointed belt is laced in front. back. and
on each side above shirt waist of blue
silk striped with red. Revers of the
silk set up the front give novel effect
to the shirt, which has the popular
turned-over collar, and very long sleeves
with cuffs that fit the wrist, and turn
back from the top toward the hand A
sleeveless jacket of blue serge, COM
pleting this dress, is fitted in the back
and rolls open in front, with revers
braided to match the skirt. The hat

he was Looked at by the Countryman's
Pig.
In the sixteenth century, of the many
proud mobiles in England the Duke of
Somerset was one of the proudest. He
never condescended to speak to his
servants; they obeyed him by signs. His
footmen wore the same livery as the
kings footmen, and when he travelled,
outrlders were sent to clear the roads
OF all passers, that no vulgar eyes might
see him ride by.
Once countryman who was hasten
Ing home, driving before him hog,
happened to be on the highway where
the duke was to pass.
Get out of the road as fast as you
cant" cried the dukes servant, brand
ishing a sword.
"Nhy must turn out?" asked the as
tonished countryman. 81 am in great
haste to get home, and my pig is
troublesome"
What does that matter? Get outn'

"Indeed!'' exclaimed the indignant
man. ''Then l will look at him and my

servants protests, he held the squeak
ing animal up by the ears before the
astonished eyes of the duke, and kept
him 50 while the coach drove by

can be dropped into those or lifted out

benefit of some sunshine through the
front openings without exposing the
hogs or pigs to chilling drafts.
Troughs IA feet long extend along two
sides of the feeding floor. they are
made of 2-inch plank and are square
bottomed; use 10-inch wide plank for
bottom and S-inch for sides. When
the pen is used for brood sows these
troughs may be used, if partitions are
placed in them at the dividing parti-
ton. The dividing partitions should be
as low as possible as with our plan
some of them will need be stepped
over in feeding, but our aim is to
secure light, sunshine, ventilation
and convenience in handling ma
nure. These cannot all be secured
where an alley way is made
through the pen, without cutting
openings in the sides of the build
ing which will make it uncomfort-
able for the hogs in severe winter
weather. Bear in mind that we do
mostly winter feeding. The sleeping
apartments are on north side of the
building and that side OF the building
is made with no openings. The manure
is removed by backing the manure
spreader up to the front opening where
it is loaded and applied directly to the
land. The feed room has gravel floor
and to insure drainage and convenience
in feeding is elevated considerably.

LIVE STOCK GOSSIP.

ANIMALS sometimes are affected with
insanity. We have seen horses that we
had no doubt were as "crazy as bed
bugs"
"a GOOD many farm horses are in
jured and some are ruined by improper
feeding" says an exchange. We should
say so.
HORSES ought not to be allowed to
eat too much hay. 1t is too bulky
Many horse is injured by eating too
much hay.
If we persist in feeding musty hay to
horses we ought to be under no neces-
sity of asking what causes the heaves
when they appear.
IF we would all resist the temptation
of overstocking when the price of this
or that class of animals is high. what a
great blessing it would be to all of us.

THE hog has made the farmer a great

FARM AND GARDEN.
INTRODUCING QUEENS.
One Method Which Has Never Failed I

One Method Which Has Never Failed to
BE Successful.
There is one method of introducing
queens that never fails; it is that of
combining the queen in hive with sew
eral combs of bees just Matching. Go
over several hives, and select enough
combs from which the bees are Just
emerging to fill hive. Choose those
combs that have the least unsealed
brood, as the most of this will perish.
Shake off every bee and hang the
combs in hive, closing it up bee-tight.
Allow the queen to run in at a small
opening, closing it behind her. This
work should be done in the fore part of
a warm day. In a few hours enough
bees will have Matched to make quite a
little cluster, with which the queen is
absolutely safe. 1t might be well to
carry the hive into the house at night
for two or three nights In week the
bees may be given a stand in the
apiary, and the entrance opened enough
to allow the passage of a single bee.
So much trouble is not advisable un-
less it is with very valuable queen.
If bees are shaken from their combs
into box, and kept confined without a
queen several hours, Mr.. Doolittle says
they will invariably accept a queen if
given one in the box. In other words,
they are hopelessfy queenless and
away from their home, and will accept
anything in the shape of a queen.
In recapitulation, will say, if you
wish to be sure of success in introduce
ing queens received from a distance,
observe the following directions. If
the bees are not gathering honey, feed
them. Have the bees hopelessly queen
less. Before releasing the queen see
that the bees are favorably inclined
toward her Allow the bees to release
her by eating candy out of the entrance
of the cage. Don't disturb the bees for
several days after the queen is released.
I am aware that success is often
achieved when some of these points
are neglected, but each has its weight.
