and back, and finished with small ruf;jp
The lace insertions OF the yoke and sleeves
are made i'll the same manner as those of
the skirt. There is Il lace ruche at the neck
aud wrists.
There are strong indications that the
great designers will continue TO draw
inspiration from the picturesque costume of
the Russians. 1t Will be remembered what
Il success some of the Russian gowns had
last winter. They are very original

ter especially their long fur-trimmed cos.
tunes are sure TO find many admirers. In
The picture You will find presented +,

of heavy black silk gu'pure, set off with
gold ard silver threads. At the back the
vest Is III the form of round yoke. The

Corsages will no doubt continue TO be
trimmed with lace and ribbon, but the
scheme of garniture will be quite different
from summer styles The velvet collar and

Mr.. Breckenridge furnished On exhibit

upon the basis of copy from the books
of Mr.. Knox and upon the rate of taxes
actually paid upon competing articles at
the ports as provided by law. The bill,

PROFIT IN noo FEEDING.

Experiments made by the Iowa Agri-
cultural Experiment Station indicate that
when corn is twenty five cents busheI
and hogs four cents pound, winter feed
ing will pay better than selling the corn.
That young hogs would yield a greater
profit than old ones. The old hog will
gain more pounds per day, but will con-
sumo relatively more food, which is
probably due to possessing stronger
digestive and assimilating powers than
the young animal. In accepting the re-
suits of these experiments the laws of
growth must be considered. The gain
per day is close to the standard, and
nearly one-third of the food consumed
in maintaining animal heat, and illus
tratos that while winter feeding may be
profitable it is rot SO profitable rs sum

That after having reached ccrtain stage
OF the fatteai1g process the profit in
feeding begins to decrease, and finally
changes to IL loss. In concluding their
repor. they suggest that ms soon as hogs
are fat enough to command the top

CARE OF WINTER ROSES.

Early planted roses for winter flower
ing will now he benefited by covering
Of thin mulching of manure, but it is
safer to err on the side of thinncss than
to apply to heavy coating, rs the latter
generally results in injury to the plants.
The use OF moderate quantity of bone
dust is Mt all times beneficial to the soil
Tor roses, provided the bone be of good
quality, and the most satisfactory grade
of this fertilizer is obtained from a
button factory, because the bone so used
Is in its natural state, and is much
superior as n plant food to that which
has been boiled or dissolved with acids.
Good bone dust feels somewhat greasy
when rubbed between the fingers, while
that prepared from bones that have been
boiled in order to extract the oil is quite
dry and feels gritty to the touch.
AS the young roses make their growth,
disbuddinS must be attended to frc-
quently, for the strength of the plant is
oil needed to make wood at this season
SO as to secure strong growth ready for
winter Towering; and even in winter it
is necessary to disbud regularly if
flowers of extra size are desired. This
is practised by the large commercial
growers who make specially of roses
and they disbud as regularly as they do
In the case of chrysanthemums in order
to produce the eight and ten inch
flowers frequently at the autumn shows.
Among the varieties specially benefited
by this budding are the Bride, Catherine
Mermet and Wooton, all of which send
out their lateral buds before the terminal
flower opens, and thereby its size is re-
diuced. La France is also improved by
the same method, for this variety, when
growing strongly, often forms lateral
buds.-New York World
