WOMAN'S WORLD.
AeiTATlNe REFORMS IN HONEYMOON
CUSTOMS IN ENGLAND.

The Franchise for Englishwomen--A New
Occupation for Women-On the wheel
est for the Fair.
The question of reform in the wedding
journey is now being agitated by lead
ers of English society. They maintain
that much time and money are thrown
away needlessly on this ideal trip, and
that not only is there no adequate COM
pensation for this loss, but that frequent
ly the honeymoon is thereby robbed of
its blissful serenity.
A dozen letters have appeared this
week in a London daily suggesting that
the honeymoon should be curtailed and
simpliied. One humorous writer, who
dates his letter from Grosvenor square,
the most fashionable part of London,
declares emphatically that the newly
married husband tires of the honeymoon.
He may get very tired of it, or only just
a little, but he tires of it. He may idol
ize, adore, love or merely like his young
wife, but by whichever graduation of
tires of the honeymoon. Sometimes,
indeed, it is added, the more he loves his
spouse the more the wedding journey
annoys him.
The period of betrothal is an irritating
and annoying one for the man. The
wedding preparations, so highly appre-
ciated by the bride, are a source of con-
fi,I,ol xro,v.xz FOR +ba I,r; n a<xroo,x, Ero,,,
the discussion over the brides dress to
the gifts. from the social to the civil cere-
monies, everything represents minute
and assiduous labor; so much SO, that
unless he is aided by immense love, great
longing or strong interest he could not
persevere in his task. Therefore the
bridegroom, when the wedding day ar
rives, is in a state of acute irritability
(no man can possibly be tranquil on this
day unless he is an imbecile), and the
departure for the honeymoon, always
harrassed by complications, delays and
confusion, only augments his ANNOYANCE.
According to another correspondent it
is next to impossible for things to 90
smoothly and pleasantly during the
honeymoon. The young wife observes
her partner. If he is too free and easy
she thinks him cold toward her; if he is
humble in demeanor she gets too proud;
If he is disposed to give her a little
liberty, she is uneasy; if he is jealous,
she is unhappy. And the opportunities
for such observation and reflection occur
continually in the course of the honey
moon.
1t is true that there is love to overrule
all these little disagreements. But alasl
alast it is impossible to love deeply on
the wedding tour. And so both bride
and bridegroom are dissatisfied with the
journey, and both are glad to return
home.-London Cor. Chicago Herald.

Cows, Calves and Sore Teats.

Agricultural Editor:- Il saw in your
department an article on carefulness in
milking cows with sore teats, and the
advice therein given was excellent; but
it stopped too soon-did not tell the
whole story. Now carefulness is very
good for various disorders, and its use
fulness is by no means confined to the
constable. But for sore teats / like a
compound of one part carefulness to
two of oil or grease. Any kind of
grease will answer, but cotton-seed oil
is very good and requires no melting.
1t is firstrate for chapped hands and
makes good machine oil. Clean the
teats, ready for milking. A piece of
bransack foot or more across is an ex-
cellent aid in this operation. Then ap-
ply the oil or grease, and use the care
fulness then and subsequently, as di-
rected in the article referred to. When
mixer complains of the actions of a
COW, | tell him to pare his finger nails
and use grease. Some use milking
stool on the cows ribs, but grease is
more satisfactory to the cow and more
dollars in the dairyman's pocket. The
skin is sometimes thin on a young
heifer's bag and teats and is liable to
get full of fine cracks, especially in cold
weather. Don't blame them for kick
ing when they are not to blame; watch
out, and use grease. 1t is good to oil
all the cows teats once week or so, in
cold weather, to keep them soft. In
summer the teats are sometimes
scratched with briers, etc., and when
the cows are turned out in spring their
teats and bags get sunburned sometimes
TO avoid this, use grease freely, just
before turning them out, and put some
between the udder and legs, if the nd.
der is large, to prevent chatting
Neglect this and your attention may be
called to it by a kicking cow and bad
smell. In such case, wash with soar
and water, wipe dry, and oil. In wilc
state, with calves sucking, the teats are
smeared with milk and a saliva, which
dries on, forming coating to proven
chapping; but in dairying we should
not let the calf suck even once. TIL,
COW cares but little for the calf till sht
has sucked it, and if removed at ono,
will make but little fuss. Letting tn,
calf suck few times will cause uneasi
ness, kicking and holding up of milk, OIL

who feeds the calves we'll knows tina
it has tendency to produce in his de
partment high headedness, bunting

sible. d. A. KNEELAND.

You need not lie awake nights for
fear your increased crops will overload
the markets.
SILAGE is an excellent food to pre-
vent the animals from becoming cos.
tive-an all-too-frequent trouble with
sheep on dry feed.
The wheat-farmers of to-day are trad
ing off the fertility of the land for cash;
the farmers of the future will have to
use cash to get it back.
LAME at forty cents a pound, or
twenty-five, has more attractions than
the same at ten. Intelligent care and
good feed are what do it.
SUPPOSE there is but half as much
butter-milk in one churning as in an
other. Then if each is equally rich in
fat, there is but half the waste. That
is plain.
THE centrifugal machines are winning
friends everywhere, and are bound to
supersede gravity-setting in our larger
manufacturing factories, and hosts of
the private diaries.
SToCKMEN will be attracted to the
silo, not so much because it saves feed
brought to finish of carcass attained
in no other way except through the
feeding of roots.
A PARTY of men representing the
| French government are now on their
way to Chicago and other points for
the purpose of investigating our pork
inspection regulations and the efficiency
of their practical application.
EVERY farmer should first determine
whether he had better keep sheep at
all: then let him become familiar with
all the leading breeds and form his own
conclusion as to which breed will be
best adapted to his wants and circum-
stances,
IT will interest the many friends of
the late +. f. 8owditch to know that
his Wildwood farm at birmingham, with
its herd of Guernsey cattle and flock OF
Hampshire Down sheep, is to be carried
on by Mrs. E. f. Bowditch and her son
N. l. Bowditch.

LET our readers take careful note of
Mr.. Barnard's reply to enquiries in
reference to feeding peas to cows. Mr..
Barnard lisa practical dairyman of many
years. experience, and gets very large
returns from his cows by his method of
feeding. Though government official,
because of his ability in his specially,
he is of the number among farmers who
can and do make farming pay; and his
advice is therefore of high practical
value. He is a most painstaking ex-
perimenter, and nothing in his reports
is colored beyond what it will bear.
We wish there were many more such
men in the service of good farming on
this continent-and that our farmers
knew better how to value their work.
We understand that seed pease of the
kind used in Canada for feeding are to
be had in Montreal at about ninety cents
bushel of sixty pounds.

ONE thing very queer to us in the
orchard experience of the Aroostook
country, Maine, is that there are objec-
tions made to Scott's Winter apple on
the score of lack of hardness, while
Wolf River is called an iron-clad there.
Our experience has been to have Wolf
River killed to the ground, while Scott's
Winter, within two rods, was entirely
unframed. OF the hardy Wisconsin
apples(of which Wolf River is one that
is apparently sufficiently hardy for
Washington county, Vt.), the only one
quite hardy with us is McMahon's
White-a fine culinary apple, large,
handsome, and heavy bearer. 1t is a
late fall and early winter sort, and a
choice pie-apple, about with Alexander
in quality, but much more productive.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural
Ne,o- Yorker speaks of the practice of
sailing oats away in the NOW in layers,
when harvested, and says that when
salt was used "not sign of mice-work
was to be seen, and his horses ate the
oats, straw and all, much more greedily
than ever before. This bit of informa-
ton may be of use to many farmers,
who we'll know how destructive mice
and rats are to oats, either in stack or
now" But it would have been of
more use if we had been told about how
much salt was used to the ton. A good
deal of the information printed in agri-
cultural papers would benefit more if
it were more definite. The time must
come soon when farmers will demand
this, and the good papers will demand
it from their contributors.

ACCORDING to an Agricultural De-
partment report, the last corn crop is
about an even two thousand millions of
bushels, or thirty. one bushels per head
of population. 1t is said that this ex-
ceeds the entire wheat crop of the
world; but we know but little of the
yield of the Eastern Asiatic countries.
The most curious thing about it is that
ninety-six per cent of this enormous
mass of grain is consumed in the United
States, foreign countries taking but
four per cent of it. Corn-growing in
the New England states has been about
at a standstill for the last fifty years,
Vermont being the only state showing
a considerable gain--from 1,119,67S
bushels, in 1889, to 2,044 900 bushels by
the last census.

ONE thing by no means generally
known to fruit-growers of the cold
North is that Professor Budd of the
Iowa Agricultural College made large

some of them had begun fruitng be-

On this subject Mr.. Glib, in the Eighth
