TIE NEW SKIRTS.

Fashion DEGREES That They Shall he Fuller
ard shorter.
The fuller and shorter skirts prom
ised for street dresses appear in the
latest Importation from Paris. There
are two ways of making these new
skirts. One. called the round skirt, has
greater fullness at the top than any
lately worn. and is just short enough
to escape the ground. 1t IS made of
four breadths of material three-fourths
of n ward wide. The front breadth is
gored to fit at the top without darts.
The side breadths are much less sloped,
and the back width is very nearly
straight The top and bottom are curved
slightly to make it hang gracefully.
The fullness is held in side plaits that
fold forward. beginning next the front
breadth. extending evenly along the
sides and back. and meeting in
a small box plat in the middle
of the back. over the pocket.
There is silk lining throughout, with
the seams turned next the cloth, as in
bell skirts. and silk ruche or ruffie is
laid in knife plaits or else in accordion
plating for a balayeuse- There may
be narrow trimming of fur, of kid. or
d cord OF velvet at the foot, or else II Is
left plain. the outside fabric being faced
up slightly on the silk lining with an
interlining of crinoline about eight
inches deep.
Another skirt is similar in outline TO
the bell skirt. but can be shortened
more gracefully because. instead of
having bias sagging seam in the back,
it has a bias field down the middle of
the back breadth, which is then
straight. or nearly SO, on the sides.
Two breadths of wide cloth are pre-
ferred for this skirt. and all the fulness
is massed at the top of the back. Still
other skirts have a panel of contrasting
ia brio down the left of the front and of
the back, and are otherwise like the
bell skirt. which many modistes say
will remain in favor another season.

On the western farm there is nothing

after the corn is husked. The corn left

Al acre OF good corn fodder from corn
which has Welded so to 60 bushels per
acre. if secured at the proper time, is
worth as much for feed as the hay
from an acre of tame grass. There is
no question but ensilage is good feed,
hut the cost of building the silo and
the machinery connected with it, the
number Of hands and teams necessary
in filling the silo, make it out uf the
reach of the common farmer. The cut
ting and shocking can be done with the
usual help on the farm; extra help may
be necessary in husking.
An acre Of good corn will contain
eighteen good sized shocks; the cost of
cutting. husking, binding fodder into
bundles and putting corn into the crib
will be 30 cents per shock; the hauling
and stacking. 3 cents per shock more.

reduces the cost of an acre of fodder

Trout As Nice-Exters.

During the past few days trout have
been caught in the upper Annaudale
streams which have been feeding on the
mice, or ield-voles, with which our
pastures are plagued A Motfat lady,
who had got a present of trout from a
friend living near Evan Water, was the
other day surprised to hear her doines-
tic scream, and. on inouiring the cause,
found it was due to the presence of a
vole in the stomach of a half-pound
trout A gentleman angling in Moffat
water caught a pound trout near BODIES
beck, and on cutting up the fish found
q whole vole in its stomach. The voIes
run to the streams in dry weather, and
many of them are drowned. 1t will be
strange if the trout has to be classed
with the hawk, the owl and the weasel
as natural enemy. Cour-

sheep manure contained in Ode expert

Hints That Hay Prove Useful to Many
Inexperienced Farmers.
Although this article may be some
what late to he of use to all who might
wish to follow the suggestions offered.
it may not be too late to assist some
farmers who have not yet cut their
corn. The first suggestion is that of
an improved corn cutter, for more
readily and easily gathering down or
leaning corn. 1t is made of an ordina-
~ heavy back cutter. such as are sold
at hardware stores. The cut will ex-
plain how 1t is made, the dotted liues
showing the cutter before treatment,
the solid lines after treatment. The
CORNER of the blade should be cut oct
with 4 cold chiscl, and care should be

taken when heating the horn not to
heat the blade so as to draw the tenn
per.
Another suggestion (although old to
many may be new to so,ne) to which l
wish to call attention is that of cutting
corn railroad" fashion, or by going
through the first two rows where the
shocks are to stand and tying the
standards. cutting only the two rows
IN which they are tied, then taking a
single row on one side and going the
whole length of the row, stopping at
each shock to set up the armful cut be-
tween the shocks; then going back on
the other side of the row of shocks the
same way, and so on till all the rows
are cut: the last row cut, the sho clls
are tied. In cutting this way the work
is all straight ahead and 1 think corn
can be cut faster By this method than
by cutting one shock at a time. Try it
and see.-F. VI. Lutts, in Ohio Farmer.
