SUNLIGHT FOR HORSES.
Sick Animals Require as Much Nursing as
Sick Men.

b1ck animals Require AS MUCH Do
Sick Men.
The proper nursing for sick horses
requires only slightly less delicate
attention than the nursing of sick
men, says the London Live Stock
Journal. Not to speak of diet and
medicine, frequent change of bedding
and clothing are as Indispensable in
one case as in the other. Perfect at
tention, abundant light and pure at
mosphere should always be prime con-
e;derations in treating the stable pa
tient as we'll as the human subject.
The influence of light on the animal
frame, and even on the rudest form of
organism, is highly beneficial. The
horse is by nature one OF the children
of light, and not of darkness-of the
open air, not of the confined, stuffy
stall. In his wild state he seeks the
sunlight of the plains and avoids the
darkness of forest glens; and if we
would fortify him against the destruc-
tive effects of protracted illness, we
should insure him the free light OF day
and full enjoyment of the pure cir
cumambient air. He should, when all
ing. not be tied up to rack or man
ger. but have the compartment free
dom of roomy box. 1t is strange
that most stable architects think any
odd space in dark corner, that can
not be we'll utilized to form stalls. is
quite good enough a situation for a
loose box or for an infirmary for a
horse told off, as too i'll to work and
requiring veterinary treatment There
is much room for improvement in the
architecture and sanitation of the sta
BILE for both sick and healthy horses.

THE NEW SKIRTS.
gariety in Gowns and Much of Their Chic
VIII Lie in Them.


Will Lie in Them.
The variety in new gowns, and also
much of their chic, lie in the skirt. No
one style is preferred abOve all others.
There are seldom two skirts precisely
alike, yet all are very plain. All are
made full at the foot and scant at the
top, but they are of most. various
widths. Each famous Paris house has
its own models, differing from those of
its neigh bors in many ways, particu-
larly in the number of breadths and in
the way of supporting them, whether
by steels, hair-c1oth, canvas or crino-
line, or by emitting all interlining in
favor of very soft folds. New fabrics
require different treatment, and the
cut varies as the skirts are meant for
the house or the street, for driving or
walking, for general use or for dress
or evening wear. There are skirts APP
propriate for the short or the tall, the
stout or the slender figure, and thus
something satisfactory to all tastes is
found, and there is fair promise of
much individuality in dress when the
new gowns are worn.
The lining of taffeta or of .percaline
is first fitted on the wearer, and with
as much care as is waist lining. IT
darts are necessary to fit the hips they
are now often in the lining only. All
the breadths of the lining are sewed
together, and ecru canvas or gray hair
cloth is basted smoothly on the seamy
side, extending to the top of the four
back breadths, and about ten inches
deep across the front and sides. The
wooden outside breadths having been
sewed together, the skirt and its lin
inc are Joined by a seam around the
foot. then turned with all seams in
side. and tackled occasionally in the
seams with blind stitches. When a
has seam comes directly down the
middle of the back it is sometimes
thought best to sew the outside and
lining together down this seam, press
ing it open fatty and binding each
edge. This, however, is more seldom
done at present than formerly. A wide
wool braid is stitched twice around the
foot of the skirt next the lining, or else
an inch-wide bias band OF velveteen
covers the seam and protects the edge
by extending slightly below It, There
is a tendency to do away with the
bala reuse or dust rutfle on street
powns, as the silk of which it is made
soon wears shabby, and must be often
renewed. The fat belt should be of
silk betting an inch wide, stitched on a
silk lining. A single rubber strap, or
else strong ribbon, is placed quite
high across the godet folds to hold the
curves in shape, and it is said wire is
to cross near the plated top OF these
folds to make them project slightly

IMPROVED ANGoRA GOATS.

In Some Sections of the Country They
Could Be Raised Easily.
The earliest attempts to rear Angora
goats in the United States were only
partially successful because they were
introduced to localities where the
climatic conditions were not such as
they require. They can withstand
considerable dry cold, but the COM
paratively humid climate Of the mid
die and southern Atlantic states proved
unfavorable to them. But in Texas
and on the Pacific slope, where they
have more recently been bred, they
flourish abundantly. But nearly all of
the Angora goats In this country have
become more or less alleged by crosses
with the common goat, and American
mohair is held in the market at much
lower prices than the imported feeces
OF the strictly pure-bred Angora goats.
Importations of fresh breeding stock
would give a new impulse to the in
dustry. Something more than two
years ago an effort was made to en-

A small hole in the roof will do in
calculable damage to flock by keep
ing the house damp and cold. Evap-
Grafton of moisture is always at the
expense of loss of warmth, and the
failure to stop a crack may cause an
expense for more food, as the body of
the fowl is kept warm by the food.
and the more comfortable the quar-
tiers the less food required. Dry cold,
where the fowls are not exposed to
the winds, will no t cause as much
sickness as dampness. and especially
when the rain not only leaks down on
the floor, but also on the fowls as
we'll. Close the leaks before the
weather becomes cold. - Farm and

Spring Crops Favored.

Unless the season is unfavorable,
the markets are almost invariably
glutted with fruit and produce in the
fall and winter. Everybody then
wants to sell, to realize money for cur
rent expenses, and prices are too often
weak and unremunerative. The pro-
duction of early stuff = asparagus,
Strawberries and other vegetables and
fruits-is not so common as the staple
crops, and when good market is con.
venient this early truck is generally
the most profitable. The spring and
early summer market is usually bet
ter-paying one than the fall market.
This is great point and well worthy
the farmers best consideration.

Dry Yards for Poultry.

There are acres upon acres OF poor
and unproductive land that could De
utilized to advantage in poultry rails
ing. The soil that is best for poultry
is dry, sandy soil. and such soil is
calculated to subdue the many dis
eases that are peculiar to poultry. The
wards should be rolling and well
drained to prevent daepness- If our
farmers should utilize such piece of
land for their fowls, they would
realize a profit that could not other
wise be made. The ground will nat
urally be brought to certain degree
of fertility from the droppings, and in
q short while, if desired, the land may
be used for crops.-Farmers Voice.

He was rendering one of the
most pathetic passages in the play,
and tears, real tears, were trickling
down his cheeks. The orchestra
was ende lvOring to enhance the
pathos of the scene by playing slow
music, soft and low. But McCul-
lough's acting did not need any ar
tificial aid. 1t annoyed him eX-
ceedingly. During a pause in his
sOlilOquy, without so much as a
shadow of change taking place
in the expression of heartrendine
sorrow and misery stamped didn't
move his lips to say it:
"StOp that id fiddling"
His voice couldn't b. heard, eX-

A superstition very prevalent

amount of tempering as those
made for home use, although they
are to be used under greater
heat.
A heat greater than any which
reaches this earth from the sun

No metallic or other matter is

sand of which the soil Of the desert
of Scinde, in India is exposed. 1t
