HORSES LIKE SUGAR.

How to Improve the Condition OF Kun
Down Animals.
The fondness for sweets on the part
of the horse has been taken advantage
of in different parts of the world, and
his appetite for saccharine matter ca
tered to with the best results in i'm
proving his condition, says the Newark
IN. J.) Call. Horses thrive remarkably
well on sugar and molasses, and these
ts-interchangeable terms in
this commemorative been regula ~
used since 1878 in Australia and South
America and other parts OF the world
for getting horses into condition for
sale and also for colts while wintering
in the yard. In raj ing colts there is
risk of their suffering from stoppage OF
the bowels if fed entirely on dry food,
and to avoid this they are allowed car
rots or roots of some kind in addition to
their dry food. Sugar not only improves
the condition of the colts, but prevents
any risk of the stoppage above referred
to. The way it is used is to dissolve
the sugar in water and pour it on the
chaff or cut hay, taking care that the
food is well mixed, and in day or two
the colt will be found licking the sides
of the managers long after the last
morsel of chaff has been eaten. The
saccharine matter left after the extrac.
ton of table sugar from the cane, and
! leaving about ten per cent. of soliG
matter, is used by horsemen in South
America. In the case of horses which
are 'off their feed" or to induce them
| to eat their food which they would
otherwise reject, sugar may be used.
The average quantity of sugar per day
! for horse in poor condition is about a
| pound and half. This should be
mixed with cut hay or chaf and turned
over few times, leaving it for a few
hours to allow the sugar to be alb
sorbed. Seven pounds of su~ar to fifty
sin pounds of hay is good proportion.
From some interesting experiments
,Jnducted lately by an emin mt scien-
list it appears tina. sugar should not be
used in any quantity with such food as
the cereal grains, maize or meadow
I hav. All these substances are some
what low i'm nitrogen, and to dilute
nitrogen by way of sugar would tend
to waste it.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Interesting Brevities for Devotees of Dress.
Crepe de Chine is made in the most
delicious of delicate self colors, and
many fashionable milliners, both here
and abroad, use it almost to the exclu-
sion of ribbon.
New silks delightfully."- cool for genu-
inc hot weather wear are imported from
Tussah India. They have gray orpale-
cream grounds decorated with large
dots, cubes, blocks, or palms, in various
colors. They have also stripes of del
lcate color on ecru foundations.
Exceedingly strong yet light twilled
silks are made in the natural unbleached
shades from India cocoons of natural
growth that are found in forests, and
these are considered much more dur
able than the silks manufactured from
the cultivated cocoons. These come in
neat and attractive checks and narrow
stripes, and are used for tennis dresses
travelling costumes, wraps and skirts.
Chiffon can not possibly be in greater
favor. 1t is now produced in shot
effects, one pattern for instance being
of pink shot with pale yellow, with
rather wide selvage of yellow silk, thus
accentuating that color. Another piece
has reseda ~reen shot with pink

The new tennis ilannels are remarSa-
bly, pretty, and those with silk stripe
or polka dot in rose, mauve, yellow or
red, make up charmingly. The rich
surfaced surah silks sold this season at
very low rates, considering their quail
ty. are much used as sashes with smart
tennis costumes. They are four yards
! long, and loosely knotted round the
waist, hanging at the side in soft loops.
The ends are drawn and terminate in a
silk tassel, or they are simply gathered
and fringed at the extreme end.
| Low-throated dresses are everywhere
worn, and large share are collarless,
with sometimes a bit of passementerie
in points, or band of ribbon as sub
stitute. Sometimes the void is lace
filed but many corsages are left empty
and unrelieved. Extra pretty women,

GLOVER FOR SEED.
Points to - Considered In Ea'sins This
"a Valuable Crop. a. ta4 u


Under ordinary conditions the grow
Ing OF clover for seed can readily be
made profitable. The first crop can be
cut for hay and fully as good a crop OF
seed be obtained. 1t should be allowed
to get fully ripened before cutting, as
harvesting too early Injuries the quality
of the seed.
1t is quite an item in harvesting to
lessen the handling as much as posi-
BILE, as every time it is handled it wastes
more or less. For this reason one OF
the best implements to use is self
rake reaper. That will cut and lay of
in even gavels that can be readily
handled with the fork when gathering
up If the threshing can be done rea'
sonably soon, the more economicai
plan is to let it lie, and when ready to
thresh load it ON the wagons and haul
direct to the machine.
But too much risk should not be run.
and rather than do this the hay can be
gathered up and stacked, or be stored
away, where it can be got at conve-
niently to thresh. 1t is best to thresh
with a regular clover huller, as this
will clean, all ready to market, while
with q common threshing machine it
will nearly always require recleaning,
and this not only adds to the cost but
increases the waste, and it is too valn-
able product to waste.
| The usual price for hulling and clean
ing is 81 per bushel, and counting in
the expenses for hands, teams and
board, it makes the product too costly
to waste. From four to six bushels per
acre is considered good yield, depend
ing considerably upon the season. The
straw should always be carefully
stacked; it makes fully as good win
ter feed as the average wheat or oat
straw, and if not needed for feeding
makes better bedding and more val
liable manure, and it should not be
wasted.
If stacked before threshing the safest
plan is 30 top out the stacks with tlmo'
thy hay or wheat straw. as it is some
what difficult to make the clover turn
water thoroughly. 1t will thresh easier
if the straw is thoroughly dry and the
seed will be gotten out of the straw
more thoroughly. And considering the
yield and the value of the product, it il
important not only to save it all, but to
save it in good condition, and the
less handling both before and rftel
threshing, the less the waste. st

KEEPING SOIL LEVEL.
1t viii Preserve 1t in Good Condition for
Succeeding Crops.

~ ~ Ill frcsffVe III III uoOu tOhultiou is'T
Succeeding Crops.
One advantage in keeping the soil
reasonably level in finishing up the Gull
tivation of the crops is that it leaves
the soil in a much better condition for
the succeeding crops.
This is especially the case when the
next crop is to be small grain or grass.
Many prefer to have wheat follow
corn, and when the cultivation has
been thorough during the growth of
the eultivlted crop in many eases it
will not be necessary to pillow. The
spring tooth or disc harrow will work
the soil into good filth, better in
fact than to plow, and having the
soil reasonably level will lessen the
work necessary to get in a good con-
dition.
When the land is to be seeded to
grass either in the fall or spring the
same will apply. With both small
grain and grass or clover it is quite an
item to have the surface reasonably
level, and when in cultivating the land
is plowed or cultivated into ridges it
requires considerable more work to
secure this condition than when left
level. With both grass and small grain
it is better to have the surface worked
into a good filth before sowing the
seed, but at the same time it is an
item to lessen the cost as much as pos
sihle. BY leaving the soil reasonably
level and in good filth when the last
cultivation is given, ordinarily bat lit
tie work will be necessary to prepare
in suitable condition for rye, wheat
or grass. While if killed up or full of
weeds or grass it is often quite task
to clean up and get into tirst-class
condition. Farmer.
