So far, the "heads" for the winter

surely encourage the cult of the large
lace veil, strung on silken ribbon,
and coyly drawn to one side when oc'

tion of side ringlets from 'Madonna

time comes on, and the frivolity and
youth of daffodils and a new year burn
in the veins? Will the "bands" ter

crude ugliness, failed to disfgure the

the Empress Eugene and the Princess
of Wales? Who can say? Enough

mien may lessen their trouble by hid

RAISING TURKEYS,

Select the earliest hatched, largest
and best formed turkeys for breeding
purposes-securing a male not related
to the females in a near degree. Keep
the hens until seven or eight years old,
or so long as they continue to lay we'll
and keep their young strong and vigor-
GUS. Keep the males until three or
FIVE years old.
It is the in-breeding business which
has played the mischief with the con.
stitutions of the young turkeys and
rendered the raising of them such a
difficult and uncertain task. The
breeder who is enterprising enough to
get his males from distance will find
his birds much less liable to disease
than those of the farmer who has ex-
changed cocks with his neighbor.-

PRIZE ESSEX swINE.'

broad, deep and straight, with heavy
hams, bones fine, but sufficiently
strong to support the body; hair fine
and soft, but thin; no bristles; legs
short and fine, but straight and set
wide apart; hoofs erect.
When matured, the improved Essex
will weigh from three to four hundred
pounds. They mature early, are pro-
life and possess great vigor of consti-
tuition. They fatten easily, range we'll
and, not being troubled with mango
CT sun-scala, are peculiarly valuable
breed for the South. The Essex are
excellent as cross, being sure to give
quality and early maturity to any
breed. When crossed upon common
or coarser swine they will improve
them almost beyond recognition. The
objection urged against them is their
tendency to fatten -apidly, which
causes the carcasses to lack the desired
proportion of lean meat. This objec-
tion can be largely overcome by limit
ing the amount of food and compel
ling exercise. Being good grazers,
they should be allowed unrestricted
run of pasturage and no corn or other
fattening food until it is desired to
finish them off. On the other hand,
their tendency to fatten is great
recommendation where roasting pigs
are desired. The meat can be made
fit for pork at any age, from
month upward. In England these
hogs are marketed in great numbers
when from five to eight months old,
for light family pork, and for that pur.
pose there are none better.--New

An Accomplished Spider.

A writer in the Madagascar News
speaking OF the spiders of that island
refers to - large one that "stretohes
it's web from bank to bank OF fair
sized streams. It forms the founda-
tion lines of its huge web of beauti-
full golden-yellow silk, which is very
strong. He has taken some of it and
s'twisting six or eight strands togeth-
er found it 80 strong I could not break
it." The same kind of spider may be
met with in the open forest glades; its
web when perfect being most won
derful sight. The writer does not at
tempt to describe the spider, but it is
probably species of Nephila, agenus
of large, beautifully marked spiders,
which spin web in forests, composed
both of golden color and silver
threads. One American species oc-
ours throughout the Southern States.

point both back and front. The cape
is lined with black satin, fits closely
at the neck and on the shoulders and
measures about five yards round the
edge. No one could underrate the
style OF this gown, and it could be
copied in any material and color. In
green satin cloth, for instance, and
black satin it would be admirable,
and green is to be one of the foremost
colors in dress this winter; brown
taking first rank and black being worn
with everything.
A few years ago leather trimmings
were much used on dresses and
jackets, and they are now revived for
our benefit. The prettiest I have yet
seen was blue serge with band Of
leather about an inch and half wide
laid on the edge of the skirt. 1t was
cut out in a trefoil design and the
edges were pinked out round the
curve of the trefoil in tiny little pink
inge. The coat to match was trimmed
with similar leather round all the out
lines, and the enovelty of little square
leather collar, stamped out round the
edge to match the rest, appeared at
the back. The sleeves were finished
with leather at the wrists, the points
turned upward like those Of the
leather on the skirt. A plain.. ..almond-
colored cloth was trimmed in rather
similar fashion with q russet leather
punched out in design of stars. The
tailor who showed me this dress
begged me, should we select it, to ac-
cept bit of the leather in order to
take it with me to the bootmaker and
the glover, so as to secure both in
perfect accord with the tint of the
leather on the gown. He also re.
marked that the best headgear to ac-
company it would be biscuit.brown
felt of rather light tone, with almond
colored wings and ribbons as trim
ming. It is one of the numerous diff
fculties of the toilet to have every.

MERITS AND DEFECTS OF ESSEX swNT

MERITS AND DEFECTS OF ESSEX SWINE.
This is one of the oldeEt English
breeds of swine. Its merits have OBJ
tanned for it we'll deserved popular
ity in this country, as well as in its
native land. The modern Essex breed
is the result of cross of the original
stock on the Neapolitan. 1t belongs
to one of the so-called small breeds.
Essex swine are black, or, rather,
ash-tlack in color; they have short
dished face, broad between the eyes,
erect, thin ears, full jowls, short,
thick neck, body of medium length,

SALT FOR BEES.

It is well known that salt is required
by bees, particularly in spring, before
any honey-fow setsin, and it probably
acts as mild purgative on their con-
stitution. 1t is very desirable that o
few small wooden troughs filled with
brine or, where the atmosphere is not
too dry, few pieces of rock salt be
kept at every apiary, to enable the
bees to get the necessary supply
ready and in a clean manner when
they feel inclined for it.-New York

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The bottom Of your hen house
should be filed up until it is higher
than the surrounding ground, to avoid
dsmpnesa
The natural food of the horse is
grass there is nothing else upon which
he will grow 30 large, so healthy, or
live 30 long.
If your hens catch cold, give them q
little turpentine. Kerosene oil is also
used, and small pill of camphor gum
will help them.
The boy who has been an attentive
student at good agricultural college
will show in after years on the farm
the value of his training.
Mulching is valuable in winter to
prevent crops from injury from alter.
nate freezing and thawing and in sum
mer for retaining moisture.
Too many COWS for the pasture, fol
the grain bin in winter and for the
help to properly milk, prompt the re.
mark that there is no money in dairy

ing to produce the best and most NUT.
ton, it is more necessary than ever
that the breeders of all kinds of meat
producing animals should breed the
best.
It costs more to feed pounds onto a
scrub animal than it does onto grade
or thoroughbred. The breeder of
scrub stock loses at both ends of the
business-at the grain bin and at the
market.
In France every fowl is fattened
separately by hand. The process is a
cramming one, and consists in feeding
certain number of pellets composed
of barley, corn and buckwheat meal
dipped in milk.
The cow whose owner provides no
roots or ensilage, would dread the ad-
vent of winter if she could look into
the future. Her owner should think
of his pocket book, and dread the
outlook for her.
Sell off the straw and buy better
and more concentrated food. Better
results in feeding and better manure
will be realized. The rule must not
be adopted as an invariable one, but
its adoption is often valuable.
Kick out the stunted fowls. They
will always be Improbable, and you
would better eat them now than that
they should eat themselves several
times before spring. May as well put
your feed into hens that will return
eggs for the favor.
When grit is needed, pound up some
glass for the hens, and it will assist
them to grind their food. Do not use
colored glass, however, as it may con-
tain poisonous matter. You cannot
put your broken glassware, china or
earthenware to better use than to
pound such material for the hens and
they will relish it.
One bushel of potatoes is much like
another bushel, and SO it is with most
of the products rs well; but there is a
vast difference between a pound OF
sweet, fresh butter and the mass we
run across in the market. No danger
of confounding one With the other.
The field is wide for one who wishes
to make a reputation.
You seldom see sicA eeowls where
fresh ground green bone is feed three
or four times week. It is not so
much extra food, but takes the place
of more than its weight in wheat or
other food, besides aiding digestion,
toning up the system, helping along
the bone and egg making process, and
building up the flock IN every way.

The farmer who has had long and
profitable service from his horses
ought to be willing to give them COM
Portable shelter and food after they
are past usefulness till death. If not
able to do that his conscience will snffer
less if he shoots and buries them,
than, for the sake of few dollars,
sells them to strangers to be starved
and brutally treated during their few
remaining years.
