Fabric Gloves in tints caught
from une's roses and others of
une's delicate-hued flowers.
Pure Silk Gloves, the patri-
clans Of the fabric family, are
unusually handsome, especially
those bearing the name Of
Kayser.
Colors never SO beautiful and
varied as at present. Delicate
straws shaded down to deep,
warm, luscious orange-they
shaded the other way to the
light, bright, ruddy gold Of the
sunset. Wonderful skill and
care in dyeingl
Soft shades of modest modes,
nutrias, mastic, reddish tans,
golden tans, old ivory white,
lucent pearls and pale azure
are simply exquisite while the
French Quaker grays are very
neat. Price, uniformly soc a
pair.
The colors of our Taffeta
Gloves, at 25c and soc per pair,
are quite as attractive as in the
pure silks. Black at 25c and
soc also. The word Taffeta
really means pure silk, accord
ing to Webster, but the manu-
facturers don't mind the die
tionary. Hence the Tafeta
Gloves are silk and-linen silk
plated on the outside. Silk
and linen, however, has a pc
culiar virtue it is very service
able as we'll as slightly, wearing
even better than pure silk.
Silk Gauntlet Gloves should
have cuffs of medium width,
and that excellent little hook
or clasp, at the wrist, such as
is a great convenience on the
Gauntlet Gloves that we sell at
75c a pair, both in black, taffeta
and colored silk.
These Silk Gauntlets make a
hand look very trim in outline,
wholly free from a loose, care
less effect. The colors are
captivating.
Have you a coat Of mail ?
You most likely need one at
the ends of your fingers. The
Kayser Silk Gloves have three
coats of mail at the hnger-tips /;
protection against the assaults
of hard wear. Three-ply thick.
Proof against wearing out at
the hnger-ends first. A guar
antee to this effect goes with
every pair, emitting the pur-
chaser to another pair without
cost, should the tips not &C
tually outwear the gloves.

climbs the nineties, these gloves
are delightfully."- cool. Both the
white and natural color will
wash acceptably. A dollar a

Suede Gloves are also agree
able to wear in summer. Being
soft and thin, they leave a de-
lightful sense of feeling when
drawn off, and make the hands
softer.

BRAINS IN FARMING.

During the year 1885 the Hon.
Moses Fowler, a wealthy banker
and landowner of LAFAYETTE, Ind,
applied to Prof. F. M Webster, an
agent of the United States depart
nent of agriculture, then located at
that place, for relief from serious de-
predations by an unknown enemy to
his corn, which was damaging some
OF his fields from to IS per cent, he
having this year 10000 acres of land
devoted to this crop. Upon examin-
alton the depredator proved to be
the Well-knOwn cOrn-roOt worm, the
larva of diabrotica longicornis Mr.
Fowler estimated the loss in his
fields by reason of this insect at S1O,-
600, with a probability of still great
er injury the following year. On the
advice of Mr.. Webster, the next sea-
son he sOwed 5000 acres of the worst
infested lands to oats, and the fol-
lowing year the other 5000 were
treated in the same manner, the first
5000 acres being this year again de-
voted to corn. AS a result of a con-
tinuation OF this rotation the pest
has been practically exterminated,
thereby, according to Mr.. Fowler's
estimate, saving him $4,000 per
annum.- Science.

OPPOSED TO THE DOGS.

Jonathan Lawrence, a veteran
farmer of this locality, writes US that
the farmers propose to ask the next
legislature for new dog law that
will more nearly accomplish what
any such law is designed to do, and
more completely protect the sheep
from the ravages of CANNES which
are allowed to run at large. He re-
CARDS the dog as treacherous ami
NAL, liable at any moment to dis
play the vicious disposition inherited
directly from the wolf, and he noti-
fies all dog owners that the farmers
OF Vermont will make strong effort
at the next session of the legislature
to secure protection from the uncol-
lored, unmatched, sheepkilling can

GROUND SHELL FOR CHICKENS.

1t is well known that chickens
must have carbonate of lime to form
the egg-shell, and, visiting few days
ago the works of pulverizing COM

the immense sale they have for
ground ovster-shells. They are sent
not only to all parts of our country,
but to England, Belgium and France,
and used as chicken-feed-sO called

go to 80 tons week of the so-called
feed, and the same Of shell. dust-the
latter used extensively as a fertilizer
and as a neutralizing agent for the

phosphoric acid The dust not only
converts the phosphoric acid into
neutral salt tri-basic phosphate, but
also neutralizes any free sulphurIc
acid in the superphosphate. For the
same purpose | have used for years
air-slaked caustic lime.
That these works have been run
ming for years preparing the feed and
dust, with a ready sale for all they
can produce, speaks for itself of the
value of their products. l have used
the dust with entire satisfaction on

heard many say the ground shell is
