New Varieties OF Small Fruits.

New varieties of small fruits come to
the surface every spring, are loudly
extotied and go out of sight. The best
strawberry has been discovered often.
Farmers should always test new varie-
ties with a few plants only. Much
depends on soil and locality. A variety
that is the best in one section may be
worthless in another. Old and tried
varieties should never be discarded hur-
ciediy. Improvement IS Ssir.s :sade at
all times, and with all kinds of fruits,
but when the farmer is brought in con-
tact with so many varieties each being
claimed as the best, he will be unable
20 select from them. All varieties that
so not stand ties. are simply weeds in

they cannot be made fat get them in as

also convert their food into growth rather
than into fat; and this is desirable. The
males should be made fat and the pullets
kept in moderate condition. To do this

Over Twenty Years q Preacher.

Rev. Phoebe A. Hanaford is probably as
widely known as any oma minister. Be-
ing asked for "reminiscences of twenty
years in the pulpit she writes: 1T was in
the fall of 1866, while l was editing the
magazine called The Ladies' Repository,
then published in Boston, that a gentle
man rushed up to me one day in a railway
station and told me that Olympia Brown
begged me to go in her stead to preach
next day in South Canton, Mass. / had
spoken once or twice in a little house out
on Cape Cod, but had not thought of be-
coming a preacher. Still I went, and after
ward Miss Brown opened the way for me
80 that l received a call to take a parish in
bingham. WA ordained there as a Uni
versalist minister in February, 1868"
Mrs. Hanaford has held pastorates in
Waltham, Mass, in New Haven, in Jersey
City (where her salary for three years was
$500 a year) and again in New Haven.
She has many stories to tell of the man
who smoked at the minister's Monday
meeting to drive her out through her dis
taste for tobacco, and of kind words spoken
and help given as we'll. She has preached
foul sermons on one Sunday in four differ
ent towns, riding ~twenty-eight miles in a
carriage to do it. She has performed the
marriage ceremony nearly forty times, and
has acted as chaplain of the Connecticut
senate.-Chicago Tribune.

Points Of Interest,

Western range cattle are shipped to
the Chicago market from about mid
summer up to Nov. 1, when the trade
closes. A firm Of Chicago cattle COM
mission merchants advises farmers and
stock raisers in Illinois and that vicinity
to keep their grass and corn fed cattle
until after Nov. 1, when they will get
better prices for them, after the range
cattle have ceased to come in.
Feed out your farm products on the
farm, to be sure, but be sure also that
YOU feed them to animals that will re-
turn q profit to you.

Homemade Furniture.

Homemade furniture is rarely success
full and more rarely economical. Occasion
ally a husband or wife has a gift at carpen-
try, and can do wonders. If the young hus-
band can build furniture so we'll that he
would not hesitate to offer to sell it, with a
fair likelihood of getting a purchaser, let
him build all he can for his home. It will
be good, and of as much comfort to the
household as the dainty needlework his
wife may have the skill to fashion. But
let the ordinary wielder Of the hammer,
saw and plane beware. The materials used
will usually cost half enough or more to
buy the finished article at a reliable shop.
After the furniture is done, and money,
time and strength have been devoted to it,
what is the usual result? A "toggled-up"
article that is rarely comfortable, generally
cumbersome and will come to pieces within
n year. A chair made out of a barrel is
always a barrel, even though covered with
raw silk and adorned with velours squares.

Hornless Beef Cattle.

We present this week illustrations of
the two famous breeds of polled Scotch
beef cattle. They represent the two we'll
known families, Aberdeen-Angus and
Galloway. Allen says of both breeds:
"They are Of medium size, mostly black
in color, although occasionally red, dun
or black and red brindled, compact in
shape and hornless. They are hardy,
easy keepers, early matured, and of ex
cellent quality for flesh. They thrive
well on rough soils and in a severe eli
mate" These cattle are well adapted to
"rustling" on sparse pasture plains, and
are especially in demand on far western
ranches because they are h~ornless. They
cannot murder one another on the long
railway trips required to convey them
to market.

surah silk and stitch it on the kid very
firmly. There must be a narrow yellow
cord in the top of the bag so that it can be
drawn tightly together and fastened Sc
curely. Over this is painted on the white
kid in letters of gold the legend: For
rings and things" Under the bag there is
a yellow cushion. This is very fat, in fact,
it can scarcely be called a cushion at all,
but it will be found a most useful article,
as on it are put all the stickpins and fancy
pins so dear to the feminine heart.
And last there is a larger silk bag. This
can hold bangles and all large pieces of
jewelry. Sometimes a piece of chamois
skin, some jewelry soap and a small brush
are kept in this bag. Cut another piece of
kid the same size as the first. On this paint

The Evolution of the Dolnan.

During the winter of 1915 appeared
the dolman mantelet of black velvet, with
half fitting back and loose sleeves, which
only covered the upper arm. The fronts
were ornamented (D with patch pockets,
upon which were bows of blue ribbon, and
the sailor collar was of blue silk, with a
full ruff1e of guipure lace. Frills of lace
also edged the entire garment and trimmed
the pockets. AS we near the beginning of
this last decade we come to the Oxford cir
cular, a ~three-quarter length cloak, which
fitted smoothly about the shoulders and
was without superfuous ~fullness below
the waist. 1t had 10 sleeves, and it's only
trimming was a fiat, velvet lined hood,
with cord and tassel In the
New Year of 1880 came into being the half
length dolman, reaching to the knee, and
made with very wide sleeves, rolled collar
and a fringe trimming. Also the long,

lar, wide cuffs and deep pocket flaps set

Suggestions from u Veterinarian Abou,
Its Cause and Cure.

Suggestions from u Veterinarian About
It's Cause and Cure.
This is another Of the diseases of the
respiratory organs frequently met with
in the horse. The pleura is the structure
that covers the lung and lines the inner
walls of the thorax, the first being called
the pulmonary pleura and the other the
costal pleura.
Pleurisy is due to exposure and to sud-
den changes of temperature, especially
if out Of condition, and after clipping or
change Of hair in the spring. Professor
Gamgee mentions where out of a fold of
800 sheep thirty died from pleurisy after
being sheared. It is often associated with
pneumonia and with heart troubles, as
well as with rheumatism. At times it
occurs as a primary disease, at others as
a complication with inflammation of the
lungs, and again as a feature of %epizootics.
The symptoms are a chill of longer or
shorter duration, sometimes followed by
slight pain and occasional paving, with
frequent pulse and elevation of the tenn
perature; there is sometimes a slight
cough and pain on pressure between the
ribs.
AS the disease advances there is a
fluid efused which collects in the chest,
making breathing difficult and accom-
plished only by labored movement of the
muscles of the flank. It is a kind of
dropsy and is called hydrothorax. This
can sometimes be relieved by puncturing
the chest and drawing off the fluid be-
fore it becomes organized.
The treatment of pleurisy is something
like that for pneumonia. In cold weather
hot cloths or a mustard paste may be ap-
piled to the sides; drinks with the chill
taken off and with a little nitrate of
potash added; half dram doses Of qui-
nine in faxseed tea; a%conite, ten drop
doses four or five times a day at inter
walls of three hours. When the pulse in
dicates heart complications, give digi-
tails, and if the bowels are constipated
give from a half pint to a pint of raw
linseed oil, according to size and age.
l have frequently seen much benefit,
when there was much flank movement
in breathing, from a few rather copious
watery discharges from the bowels

ABERDEEN-ANGUS PRIZE WINNER.
Of the two families indicated, Fig. 1
represents a champion prize winning
bull Of the Aberdeen-Angus breed. It is
claimed by the advocates Of the Aber-
deen-Angus cattle that they make better
beeves for stall fattening than the other
black Scotch cattle, the Galloways, but
that the Galloways are better adapted to
roughing it and picking up food for
themselves than the Aberdeens. At any
rate both are we'll adapted to cold eli
mates.
The Galloways differ from the Aber-
deems in having a curly or rough coat.
In the west the cowboys have frequently
tanned and prepared the skin of the Gal
loway in the same that the In
dian prepares the buffalo skin, and it is
said that the Galloway robe is scarcely
inferior to the real buffalo robe. The
hair is thick, long and very glossy.

The Galloway comes from the south
west of Scotland. The males have great
p%repotency and transmit their qualities
with such certainty that the marks are
easily discernible. Both in British Amer
lea and that part Of the United States
adjoining in the northwest the Gallo
ways are a favorite, because Of their
hardness and easy keeping qualities. 1t
is safe to say that hornless animals are
always more easily kept and fattened
than others on account of their peace
able disposition. The Galloways are
long and round in the body, with short
legs. The black hair has sometimes a
brownish shade.
