FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
VALUE OF FEED.

Every farmer should make it point
TO save every bit of feed possible. 1t
will all be needed this year. The
drought in the West has cut short hay,
oats and corn over vast extent of
country, and lack of pasture has COM
PEELED feeding what should be laid by
for winter. The lack of feed will
cause an early rush of poor, alf-fatted
and inferior stock to market. Those
who have the feed will do well to keep
their stock till this rush is over. Good,
well-fed stock ought to bring remunera-
tive prices later on. New York World.

NEW STYLE SHOES.

No woman is going to buy an old
style shoe, if she wants to feel that she
is as well dressed as other women.
The fashionable boot aud shoe is now
made on pointed last, with a straight
tip. Common sense and round toe
lasts are out OF date, aud so are ths
diamond tips. 1t doesn't cost much
more to be in than to be out of fashion.
The new style shoes are not uncom-

of the toes; all shoes are worn at least
one size larger than usual.

CLIMBING ASPARAGUS.

There is probably no decorative
plant grown that has so rapidly gained
in public favor as this lovely tropical
vine. Being "A native of warm climates
it makes little growth in cold weather
but will endure slight frost without
injury. In warm temper ature, how
ever, it grows rapidly, climbing up
the strings stretched for its support
to a a'height of 20 feet in few months
and will bear cutting two or three
times year.
Its use is chiefly for decorations at
parties and weddings, and for this
purpose it has the great advantage
that it will keep fresh when cut for
several days if the stems are kept in
water.
For pot plant for window ecora-
ton the asparagus is one of the most
attractive of all ornamental climbers,
its graceful and delicate foliage being
remarkably beautiful, and its growth
is always healthy and free from the
many insect pests which often infest
window plants. There are two varie-
ties grown, the asparagus Plumoses
and A. Tenaissimus the former is al
together preferable. Boston Cultiva-

While Great Britain is constantly
