TailOr-Made Grief.

According to one of the authorities
the period of mourning for father
in-law is twelve months, ten months
black, two months half mourning !;
Grape is seldom worn, though the
Grape period was formerly six months
For parent the period is the same as
above. The longest period for a
brother is six months, five months
black, one month half mourning; the
Grape period was formerly three
months; it is now almost discarded
The shorter period is four months
black, no half mourning. The period
of mourning for father in-law is
often shortened to six months when
relatives reside at considerable dis
tance from each other. All of which
prompts the remark that the world
would be made more cheerful and
sensible if mourning" garments
were discarded altogether. New York

RAISING CALVES.

A calf to each COW can be raised on
skim milk and little additional food.
A calf may be fed skim milk when one
week old, with the addition of one gill
of boiled faxseed, increasing this ra-
ton gradually to a pint per day when
four weeks old, and then adding fine
middlings or corn and oats ground to-
gether, or II pint to one quart of oats
unground.
Flaxseed Cruel, with plenty of skim
milk, will produce a very fine growth,
leaving the calf as mellow to the touch
as if sucking the COW. A calf two
months old will gain three pounds per
day on this ration. The oil taken off
in the cream can be replaced for one
fifth of the money value of the cream.
Butter dairymen may raise calf to
each COW upon the skim milk and n
little additional food as indicated, and
get one-fourth to one-third as much
profit ont of the butter. Selling but
ter robs the land of nothing valuable
only carbon, which has no manurnl
value. Mirror and Farmer.

THE EXCELLENT LIMA BEAN.

The Lima bean is the best favored
and largest variety of the bean family,
yet it is not raised for the market in
any large quantities on account of the
trouble and expense of getting poles
for them. The vllager has to buy
poles for what he plants, and the sum
expended for them often exceeds the
income from the vines. Those farmers
who have timber on their land are gen
orally too busy, or think they are, to
bother with pole beans, SO they plant
some of the bush varieties that are not
half so good in flavor and yield very
poorly. For the benefit of those who
like Lima beans and do not raise them
because of the trouble of providing
with poles, we give the following plan
of trellis, which answers every pur-
pose fully MS well as the old method: :
If they are to be raised on II large
scale two heavy posts may be set at in
tervals OF forty feet, the full length of
the row, being sure to brace the end
ones Then plain wire is stretched
from post to post. As the vines are
very heavy, it is best to strengthen it
by putting two or three pieces of ordi-
nary three-inch board. Then loop IA
strand of package twine from the top
wire TO the lower one. These twines
should be about sixteen inches apart
Very little trouble is experienced in
making the vines follow the wires, and
no tying is necessary. This trellis will
last many years, and We think il is a
great improvement over the poles. ---

MULES FOR FARM WORK.

The mule is used much more than
the horse in the South, probably in
part because Southern laborers are not
to he trusted with the more spirited
and valuable animal. A Southern
planter mentions as advantages OF
mules over horses: Their feet are
smaller, so they injure the crops less
when working i'll them, and can be
used in closer rows than horses; they
are less liable to disease, are better
feeders, being less fastidious as to
what they eat, endure hardship better,
are not 50 easily injured and are
steadier to work at the plow. The
experience of most Northern farmers
with mules is that, however serviceable
for work on the farm, it is less pleas
ant and less safe to work among them.
Good horses are none the worse for
the farm, because they require better
care than the mules will put up with.

DELICIOUS SUGAR COOKIES.

Delicious sugar cookies that are so
rich that they will keep some time are
made by beating n cupful of butter
and two of sugar to a cream. Beat
the yolks'of four eggs until, light, and
add them to the butter and sugar,
then add the beaten whites. Mix
thoroughly and quickly, and add just
enough flour to make stiff paste.
Roll out as thin aspossible without
breaking, cut and bake in n moderate
oven. Cookies are more tempting
when baked II delicate brown than
when white. Jumbkes made with sour
cream are also excellent. Cream cup
full of butter with two of sugar, and
add cupful of sour cream to which a
teaspoonful of soda, dissolved in lit
tie hot water, has been added. Sep
arate the yolks,a and whites of two eggs,
beat both untilllight, then mix them,
and add to the iother ingredients. Add
enough -four to make as soft a paste as
can he rolled, not a particle more.
Roll as thin rs you can without break
ing and bake in q hot oven. The
grated rind of lemon added to either
will improve the flavor. New York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

A good mulch keeps down weeds.
Milk as quickly and quietly us pos.
sible.
The curl in the pigs tail is a sign of
health.
Small caters are almost always poor
mixers.
Large crops are not always the most
profitable ones.
Liquid manure will force crops to
rapid maturity.
The best quality of meat comes from
the pig, not the hog.
Bulky food should always be fed
with concentrated food.
Pigs in the orchard will consume
wormy fruit and insects
Change the quarters and pasture OF
your sheep occasionally.
Too much wood is prolific cause OF
the non-fruitage of trees.
A creamery should not be started on
less than three hundred cows.
Oil meal is concentrated food and
| should be given in moderation.
The more flowers are picked, the
more flowers the plant will bear.
Raspberries, with the exception of
Blackcaps, can be planted i'll the fall.
Mulched tomatoes produce larger
crops than those that are not mulched.
A little extra work in mellowing the
soil will give II larger profit when the
crop is harvested.
Market gardeners are preparing the
land and sowing turnips and lettuce
for the late market.
Those kinds of cabbage which have
! firm, close heads are the least injured
by the cabbage worm.
Turnips will produce larger crops
when weeded, but they will do well on
the average ground if not cultivated.
The loss by shrinkage of vegetables

urge deep planting and il is II lesson
one must learn sooner or later. We
may think il an absurd thing to plant

Nearly all planters recommend at

POOR PASTURES.

Good pasturage is essential to sue.
cessful dairy farming in most sections
of New England. On IA large proper
tion of the farms these pastures are
not and very many of them cannot be
cultivated, and, as consequence, these
that are stocked with cows are slowly
being depleted of their original fertil-
ity, and brush and weeds take the
place of nutritious grasses.
A short time since the writer passed
through hilly town where sheep rails
ing was formerly the leading farming
industry, but after the collapse of the
Merino boom the farmers changed from
sheep raising to dairying, and for the
past ten or twelve years cheese making
has been their speciality. For few
years this line of farming was profit
able. The pastures furnished an abun-
dance of feed, and the cows gave a
gsod flow of milk with small cost. But
things have changed. Many of the
pastures now are overgrown with weeds
and bushes, and produce but little
good feed. Farmers are obliged to
buy large quantities of grain to keep
up tne HOW OF mix through tne su
mer months. The grain bills absorb
the profits and keep the farmers in
financial straits all of the time. The
only practicable way out is to try sheep
raising again for few years.
Last spring turned flock of sheep
into pasture that was so overrun with
weeds and daisies as to furnish but
little feed for cattle. To-day not a
weed or daisy is to be seen, and the
sheep and lambs which are long wooled,
Costwold and Leicester, have done
finely. In two or three years / expect
the pasture will be entirely free from
weeds and daisies and ready for cattle
again. A good flock of sheep well
cared for should net the owner at least
81. so per head in wool and lambs, and
with special care much more may be
realized; allowing fifty cents per head
for grain would give you return of
$4 per head of cash i'll hand. In the
town referred to the annual average
receipts for the milk of the COWS at the
cheese factory is about $50 per COW
and from this must be subtracted the
grain feed. - New England Farmer.

MEASUREMENT OF HAY IN A STACK.

Hay settles in the stack quite slowly
on account of the elasticity of the
grass stems. 1t is u matter of guess
work wholly how much it may settle,
but in u month it may settle one-tenth
in the height of the stack and more
slowly after until it stops. New hay
stacked twenty-four hours only will
weigh more than ton for 1000 cubic
feet; after a month the weight of ton
will be about 900 cubic feet. New
