ROOTS FOR FEED.
Hogs Like Them and They Should Ha
Them Every Day.

Hogs Like Them and They Should Have
Them Every Day.
The cheapest winter feed for swine
are roots. They may not have so much
nutriment in themselves, but they cause
the hog to get more out of his other
feed, just as good clover pasture causes
the hog to get more out of grain. Tur-
nips and rutabagas may be grown on
the land from which early potatoes or
sweet corn has been removed, or piece
of clover sod may be broken up after
the hay is harvested.
Don't lean over the fence to pour the
slop in the pigs troughs. The fighting
pigs will cause you to spill good part
of the slop, and resting your weight on
your abdomen supported by rail is
not healthful exercise. Pass a trough
through the pen into the other trough.
And if you nail board over the top OF
the first trough the pigs cannot stop it
with their noses and waste the slop
when it is poured in.
The old-fashioned way is to dip the
buckets in the slop barrel, lift them
out with hard, high lift, all dripping
and overlooking with the greasy stuff,
and so carry them. Of course, the man
that does that gets greasy, dirty
clothes. The new way is to set the bar
rel up on blocks and dish out place
for the bucket to set, and then put
big faucet in the barrel This way
there is no hard lifting, no buckets
greasy ON the outside, no drip or over
flow.

THE TRAIL OF THE SERPENT.
The Universal Dread in Which His Snake

Inc universal Dfeau In w men HIS snake

The other day transformed a savage
old male Rhasus macacus which was
tearing at his cage to get at me, with
crimson face and crashing CANNES,
into limp and pallid coward by the
exhibition of japanese toy snake
which had in my pocket. Practical
naturalists, who have to do with strong
and fierce monkeys, occasionally resort
to similar stratagem in order to in
timidate them. Mr.. Rudyard Kipling

tales, and makes the care aker of an

GUS kinds, and invariably with imme-
date results. The suddenly-arrested
movements and startled, timorous look
at once betrayed how much the mind
of the beast was agitated by that I'M
canny sound.
Is it not strange that through
out all nature from the DESC
late swamp to the opera house radi-
ant with electric light, a hiss is an
imitation of hostile intent? And
that it invariably sends futter of APP

English Quakers Dying Out.

A Rochdale correspondent writes:
1.-The Friends meeting house in Roch-
dale, known as the place of worship Of
John Bright, is not as well attended as
it was Many of the Quaker families
have died out or become dispersed.
The Brights are in many places, and
the same is to be said of many of the
Friends of former days. Among them
are the Kings. Mr.. John Bright was
on terms of close intimacy with the
late Mr.. James King, man well known
in Rochdale, but little heard of outside
the borders of his town They had
much in common-were of the same
persuasion, active supporters of popu-
lar education long before the education
act was passed, members of the Peace
society and liberals. AS young men
they went together on tour to the
holy land in 1885. The Kings have
now left Rochdale, and their mill is to
be sold. Mr.. Brights grave in the
trim little burial ground of the Friends
bears plain stone with the inscription:
John Bright, died March 81, 1889. aged
seventy-seven years His corner seat
in the meeting house is still uncush-
Toned as in the days when he worshiped
in Rochdale, and in all probability it
will remain so as long as the chapel

George Wylie, well-known sw;ra
breeder, uses portable swine pens. Ha
correctly says that When the efobnd
around the pen becomes foul by con-
tinued occupation, these pens are easily
moved to a fresh location, and the
ground previously occupied by them
plowed up and crop or two raised
from it, thereby purifying the soil.
After two or three years it can be again
seeded to grass and the pens returned
to their original location. A rotation
of hog pens once in two or three wears

Wylie says he has ever tried. With
this kind of pen, or as many pens Of
this kind as may be necessary for thu
number of hogs kept, the original out
lay for pens is reduced to mere moth
ing in comparison with the large hog
house. They will pay for themselves
every year they are used. With this
system less than half the labor will
keep the pens clean; they are warmer

healthier, and large numbers at any

his expensive SOx6O hog house. Said
he: "It's not much account for swine,

WOMEN IN EGYPT,
A Glimpse of the Domestic Life of the
People of Cairo.

Glimpse of the Domestic Life of the
People of Cairo.
Egypt exhibits the spectacle, of which
4 know no other example, of a people
utilized for centuries solely for the
profit, not of conquering foreign race,
but Of individual foreigners, born in
ruder climates The condition of r.
people which does not know how to
handle the sword and never resists
force in the presence of brutal barbara
ans, like the Turks or the Mamelukes,
cannot be far removed from a state of
servitude. Such has been, for CEN
turtles, the lot of the Egyptians. In a.
race sunk so low, to what degree of
slavery must we not expect to see the
women reduced? The condition of
women, among any people whatever, is
always difficult to determine with pre-
clslon, and especially difficult among a
mussulman people. In Egypt, in all
classes of society, they try t. keen
women hidden, and when the income
permits they lock them up Among the
rich the seclusion from the world is al
most absolute; their houses in Cairo
are generally square edifices one story
high and surmounted by terrace.

Collarettes and Sleeves.

Collarettes or shoulder ruffies are cut
in circular form, with the lower edge
haring for the shoulders only, or to
reach around the full width. This
trimming, to make the shoulders wider.
may be of silk, the dress goods or lace,
the latter being thiclly gathered.
Wide ribbons are also gathered over
the shoulders to broadly flare, and such
effects are also known as butterfly"
capes or ruf1es. The pointed DERBY
collar is il side and box plaits that are
clustered thicker over the shoulders.
Shoulder ruffies may start from under
the top of revers, cross over the Shout
ders and narrow down to the belt or
cross the back like deep cape collar.
When sufficiently full none of these
ruffies require lining with crinoline;
they are heater, however, if lined with
silk or the dress goods. When a vest
is worn a shoulder trimming should
not cross it or break in line from belt
to collar. Some French dresses having
surplice fronts show the V between
filled in with folds of silk or crepe
crossed also, with wide turned-back
ruttle that forms butterfly" cape fin
ishing the edges. Bretelle ruffles are
yet in fashion, and all widen over the
shoulders. French dresses of very ex-
IRENE styles show slightly full coat
sleeve covered with narrow ruf1es from
the elbows to the shoulders, which are
very ugly in effect, but some may wear
them. Pulled sleeves show one or two
puffs, the latter extending to the ell
bows, while the other ends three inches
above. The puffs are full but not high,
and the lower part of the sleeve is close
fitting,-Ladies' Home Journal

4 TYPICAL ITALIAN GARDEN,
1t Is the Beautiful and Picturesque

1t Is the Beautiful and Picturesque
villa Lante at Bagnia.
The most complete example of the
italian villa, that is, the one best pre-
serving its original form, is the Villa
Lante, at Bagnia, not far from Viterbo.
The flower garden is southwest from
the house, or rather houses, there being
two, one for domestic purposes and the
other for entertainments. These are
at either end of the terrace which over
looks the garden. The principal street
of the town leads directly up to the
gate, upon entering which one finds
oneself in the midst of profusion of
flowers, and facing a fountain which
makes the central feature of the gar
den. The fountain consists of a group
of bronze figures on a circular base sur
rounded by four large basins, which re-
ceive the falling water. Looking be-
yond the fountain, the eye is led, by
means of series of terraces and fount-
aims between the two houses, to the
highest part of the land; this is thickly
covered with trees, which form a back
ground for the architectural features.
The garden proper covers about an
acre of ground, but so large a space is
taken up by the fountain and its sur
rounding embellishments that the &C
tual space for planting is much less
than one would imagine. A magnifi-
cent box hedge, very dense and high,
protects the garden on the north and
west, the south being open and
overlooking the extensive cam
pagna. Making part of the eastern
wall is the orangerie-a building which
forms very necessary part of every
garden in Italy-wherein the orange
trees and the tender plants grown in
pots are stored in winter. The impor-
tant paths of the ''parterre" are marked
by small box hedges, accented at the
corners by large orange trees in pots
Two stone staircases lead to the ter
race which connects the houses. An
other fountain marks the center of this
terrace, and the whole is shaded by
large sycamore trees; and here, be-
tween the garden and the wood, the
family live. If they wish sunshine, they
turn one way; and if cool and shade
and the sound of running water, the
other; though, for that matter, there is
no place in the villa where the trick
ling of fountain may not be heard.
Another series of staircases combined
with fountains leads up from this ter
race to a walk on either side of the
water course conducting the water
from the upper fountains to those we
have just passed. At the top is the
'bosquet' or grove, and in it's center,
fanked by two most beautiful pavil-
ions, is the reservoir. This is, in its
turn, inclosed in kind of court of
Doric columns, supported on pedestals
and connected by balustrades.-C
A. Platt, in Harper's Magazine.

PICKING OUT LAYERS.
Easily Done by Observing the Habits OF
the Hens.

Easily Done by Observing the Habits OF
the Hens.
How many poultry men can pick out
a good laying hen from strange fockP
Not many can dol it; yet it can easily be
done after short study of make up
and characteristics, says writer in
Northwest Farmer. There goes hen
with a thick neck, large head, ILL
shaped. walks listlessly about, SEEM
ingly with no intention or purpose IN
view. She does not care to scratch, but
hangs around the hen house, evidently
waiting for her next feed. She gets up
late in the morning and goes to bed
early in the evening. That hen may be
put down as very poor layer. The
eggs of some of the other hers go to
help pay her keep. Here comes anoth-
er. She walks briskly, and there is an
elasticity in her movements which
shows she has something in view. She
is neat and natty in appearance, small
head, with a slim neck, nicely arched
or curved. She forages or scratches all
day long, and may be too busy to come
for her evening meal. She is at the
door in the morning waiting to be let
out. She snatches few moutEfuls OF
feed and is off to the meadow, looking
for insects. Before she gets out in the
morning she generally deposits her
daily egg in the nest, or returns after
short forage. She is neat, clean and
tidy, with brightness and freshness
pleasant to the eye. That is the hen
that pays for her feed and gives good
profit all the year round. The writer
has noticed these traits since bcyhood,
and knows that they are infallible. by
studying these traits, any man may IN
few years have fine flock of hens.

Care of Old Pastures,

We must plan to help out our old
pastures. There is no other part of II. e
farm, unless it is the average garden,
that is so much neglected and abused.
We sell off stock and perhaps milk,
year after year and in many cases drive
the cows up nights, so that most OF
their droppings are left in the yards or
along the highways, and if we cut o
few bushes once a year, we think wa
are taking good care of the pastures
and as soon as green shade can be
seen above the moss in spring we turn
in the stock and expect them to grow
and give milk. Pastures should be al.
vided so that at least one year out of
three each part can be occupied by
sheep or youngstock or pigs that are not
driven up nights and can have extra
food to enable them to enrich the land.
For this purpose it is also well to put
in some crop for summer feeding
