Farm, Notes.

The acreage Of oats this year is said to be
a little less than last year and rust is re-
ported to be doing much damage to the
crop. Meanwhile the price of oats has
Iisen within few weeks because of the
scarcity Of old oats.
Experiments made in Germany and in
Minnesota have fully confirmed the belief
that rain greatly Injuries hay. The expe-
rience Of farmers in this State from July
LIST to July 18th demonstrated the same
thing, but the experiments demonstrated
additional facts. They showed that the loss
varies from five to % per cent in ratio to
the continuance Of storm. The former
trials show that very rapid or over
drying not only decreases the amount
but the dgestibili.y of the hay and
may reach as high as 10 per cent; this 10
per cent. is really equivalent to more than
20 per cent. The reason lies on the sur
face but little over half of hay is digest-
BILE at the best, and as that lost is presum-
ably from the digestible portions, it is
nearly double the apparent loss, and the
greater misfortune lies deeper, as this loss
is almost certain to fall on the palatsble
portions, such as sugar and the flavoring
oils. These probably determine very much
the palatableness Of hay, and therefore de-
termine the amount that will be
eaten. As this amount increases, the ratio
of food eaten that goes to growth increases
SO that it will be seen that the more perfect
the process of curing hay the more valuable
the food becomes, and in a rapidly increas-
ing ratio. This was made manifest in Utah,
where an almost perfect harvesting climate
gives stalk and food almost perfect in its
color, accompanied by a well retained flavor
and palatableness. On this food moderate
ly fattened cattle are sent to market. Per
fected methods may enable us at last not to
control the weather but fud good weather
enough for the abbreviated time for the
new processes.

SUMNER HANGINGS.
New Notions About Cotton Fabrics-The
Best Cottage Draperies.

Best Cottage Draperies.
Tho one peculiar characteristic Of sum-
mcr hangings is lightness of weight.
Whether one has hundreds of dollars to
expend or tens makes only the difference
between choosing silk or cotton stuffs.
The colors, the variety, the beauty of pat
tern are the same in all Material at 20
cents yard, If well selected, will give as
good color effect as that at SO. so, accord.
ing to The Decorator and Furnisher, in
which occur the following notes: Cotton
and jute arc most in use for low priced
goods; silk and silk and cotton for those
of greater value. Wool is not found at all,
even as filling or wool. The old notion
that cotton could not be permanently dyed
has been proved false again and again.
Manufacturers now claim that it makes a
better filling for fine class goods than
either wool or linen, and that quite alone
it is capable of doing excellent service.
Certainly it Is cooler by far than any
fabric which contains even minimum Of
wool and is eminently desirable for sum
mer use.
Chester cotton and cretonne take and
deserve the highest place among cottage
and bedroom draperies and can be found
In all colors and all designs. The former
deserves much more general recognition
than it has obtained. 1t costs only Is or
90 cents yard, yet is thoroughly good in
color and artistic in design and will laun-
der without vestige of change. For pill
lows and cushions it is perfect and for bed
room curtains can be made as charming
Us can be by lining either with itself or
with fine silesia of u fiat tone.
Thin silks or Japanese and Chinese
silks can be found in all grades and all
prices. They are delightful, as all such
soft, clinging things must always be, and
they make ideal pillow covers but are
hardly suitable for hangings unless they
serve as lining for some more stable stuff.
Many firms in filling orders, where econ.
omy is no object, use cretonne or other cot
ton stuffs for the curtain proper and ono
of these silks for the lining. The effect is,
of course, charming, and the hanging
takes folds such as nothing less pliablc
would yield.

ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING.

A French statistician says that the
number of men and women in France is
more nearly equal than in any other
country in the world, there being only
1907 women to 1000 men. In Switzerland
there are 1864 men to 1000 women, and in
Greece only 933. The conditions in Hong
Kong, according to this authority. are
appalling" there being only 366 women
to 1000 men.
If overalls are in demand laboring men
must need them, and il laboring men
need overalls then laboring men must be
working. and if there are enough labor
ing men in need of overalls to create de-
mand for overalls business must be inn
proving, and that's what gives interest to
the fact that the overall factories at New.
port, Va. and one or two other places.
are going to start up because they have
orders to fill.
Should the pending bill for the reor-
ganization OF the navy become a law.
naval officers will be deprived of a labor
and solace. Whenever a new navy
register comes out some hundreds of
officers are at once busted in figuring out
what will be their probable standing
when the next one is issued. The proba-
bilities of promotion are we'll known, and
no insurance company has looked more
carefully into the probabilities of human
life than have the men that eagerly await
advancement. The new bill fixes mini
Al
certainty to calculations as to promotion,
so that less frequent recourse to the navy
register and less anxious bordering of its
pages will be necessary to the officers of
the future.
