THE CHEAPEST FEEDING MATERIALS.


Linseed cake is the staple food with
many farmers. 1t is not improbable that
this article will advance beyond rea-
sonable price, and the farmer should cast
about to see if there is not some food
which can be bought so as to pay hlm
better. A good linseed cake is the best
food for general purposes, because 1t
contains fair proportion Of the differ
ent forms of feeding matter that anl-
mails require; and ore of its great TEA
lures is the oil, substance not strongly
represented in grain and pulse. ltls only
because the feeding constituents are we'll
balanced that it is preferred to other
foods, and if other foods are mixed so as
to possess the same properties equally
good results are obtained. The oil Is
the chief difficulty, but that may be
easily arranged by buying tne llnseed IN
stead of linseed cake, for then the whole
of the oil is obtained. Linseed contains
about four times as much OIL as linseed
cake, so if in making mixture we bear
this point in mind, the most difficult
portion of the problem will be solved.
OF course, the linseed oil must be
crushed or soaked. To supply the al
buminoid matter which is found in the
cake we have to turn to the pulse crops,
beans, peas, lentils, maize and barley

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.


The New York Agricultural Exper-
iment Station has for the past three
years successfully combated gooseberry
mildew, by commencing to spray as soon
as the young leaves begin to unfold, and
continuing at intervals of from eighteen
to twenty days, except in case of heavy
rains, when it is necessary to spray more
often. The fungicide used is potassium
sulphide Oliver of sulphur), one half
ounce to one gallon of water. By using
hot water the sulphide will dissolve more
readily Commercial liver OF sulphur
costs but from fifteen to twenty cents
per pound, and one gallon of the solu-
tion is sufficient to spray ten or twelve
large bushes if applied with force
pump. The ammonlacal solution and
the bordeaux were also effective. --NtW

WANTED: A SKIRT sTRETCHER.

And now is the day for some clever
woman to invent skirt stretcher which
can be expanded and hung inside the
skirt when it is not doing duty upon its
owner. Skirts are made SO very con-
tractei that the fair wearers frequently
have the modification of finding that the
front of their skirts are "nneeded' out
even as mems trousers become kneed

APPEARANCE OF A WOMAN FOOT.


On the principle that "Alls we'll that
ends we'll, the appearance OF woman
foot is of supreme Importance. Treat
your Shoes tenderly. Have one pair sa-
cred to rainy weather, Ior ruoterS rum
fine leather. AVOID varnish aud black
inc of all kinds, and substitute vasellne.
FIRST, rub your shoes with apiece OF Old,
black silk, then apply the vaseline with
a soft, black kid glove. If you insist on
vour dressnaker facing your gowns With
velvet or velveteen instead OF braid; you
will lessen you shoemaker bills ard be
saved from the purple blemlsn on the
instep caused by the movements OF the
skirts in walking. When buttons come
off don't hunt up old shoes and use the
shabby buttons, out invest tive cents IN
card Of shining black beauties, and have
them ready for emergencies. One
old button spoils the style OF shoe.
CATERS are charitable things and cover
a multitude of defects. Halfworn boots
will last a long time under their kindly
protection. Now is good time to buy
them, aud in most shops you can get a
pa,r for 81 IS. To save your evening
shoes and slippers invest IN a pair OF
white heece-!lned Arctic boots, which
will cost 50, out save ten times that
amount in carriage hire and medicines,
not to mention the shoes themselves.
After removing your shoes put them In
correct position by pulling up the uppers
snd tapping the flap over and fastening
one OF two buttons. Then pinch the In
step down to the toe, bringing the full
ness up instead of allowing 1t to sag
down into the slovenly breadth of half
worn foot gear. A boot tnat is kicked
off and left to lie where it falls, or Is
thrown into the closet, will soon lost
shape and gloss.-Laaies' Home Journo|
