The immense number of jackets and
walking-coats that have been sold at
sacrifice this season would seem to be
sufficient for every woman in the
country. But when we see them we
shall not know them. They will have
been made over into something now
and strange. There were millions of
high-shouldered spring cloaks last
year, where are they now? However,
the jacket for street-wear, and in
modified shape for the house, is the
popular garment at present, and adj

the spring styles.

the most profitable acre on it. He

tivator can be made to do most of the
work, and then hire man just to take
care of the garden. Those of its prod
ucts that are used in the family will
more than pay his wages; any surplus
can be sold and be turned to a clear
profit, while fully two-thirds of the
mans time can be devoted to general
farm work, thus giving extra labor
without cost.

Poultry Culture in Frsnce.

In France, where poultry culture is
carried ON scientifically, they have
way of fattening their fowls which
seems strange to Americans. Instead
of feeding their fattening poultry as
we do. and letting them eat in a
natural way,'a system of examining is
resorted to. Each fowl is fed separate
ly by hand. A composition of one-half
barley meal, one-quarter corn meal and
one-quarter buckwheat meal is mixed
with milk into a thick paste, and then
made into pellets as large as the fowl
can be made to swallow. They are
then forced to eat them in just such
quantities as are thought to be a
proper allowance. At the time of feed
ing, each pellet is dipped in milk. BY
this practice the French secure wonder
full results in the weights of fowls.

would be just right for celery, either

simple affair, consisting of posts set
firmly into the ground in rows eight or
nine feet apart each way, and at least
six feet above ground, with poles or
scantlings across on top, and laths or
brush fastened over these to give a
healthy mixture Of light and shade.
Evergreen brush, as shown in accom-

good advantage for the covering, but
must be put on rather thinly to avoid

a Few Horticultural Hints.

At the Minnesota meeting Of the
State Horticultural society the follow
ing suggestions, among others, were
made: Native shrubs were worthy Of
cultivation. Asparagus should be more
freely cultivated. The bush bean had
not been found profitable. For blight
on potato vines twas recommended to
spray with Bordeaux mixture when the
plants were eight inches high and once
or twice afterwards. Saturate little
balls Of cotton with bisulphide of car
bon and place them in the runs Of the
pocket gopher to stop that pest. Thor

Always unconsciously selfish, in q
grief as new to her as it was to the
first mother of earth, Mrs. DENLY felt
it impossible that ever anyone had
suffered as she did. And though a
church member from early girlhood,
and believing herself a truly Christian
woman, the thought of submitting to
Gods will, much less of accepting it,
was far from her mind. So the autumn
and winter passed, and still she kept
Rays hat on the rack where he had
hung it, his velocipede in the hall
where he had last left it, and his pic
tured face looking down on her from
out funeral wreath. With the rains
of autumn she wept thinking of her
darling, so loved and sheltered, lying
chill and alone under the beating skies.
Through the storms Of winter she sat
by her freside and shuddered, her
heart going out to the little grave
under the folded drifts. Shutting her
self up from outside interest and occu-
patton, daily she tore open her grief
afresh, day by day she sat and looked
not beyond the grave, but into it,
shrinking from every child face as if it
were a blow, and to all remonstrances
of husband and friends made answer:
You can't enter into my sorrow; you
don't know what feel.
But at last the winter was past. The
crocus were budding on the lawn, and
the Easter lilies in the sunny bay.win-
dow were unclosing their white flow
ers. Spring had come and Easter was
ut hand. And looking at the lilies
Helen DENLY could but remember how
only year before Ray had watched

When the peanuts arrive at the fac

and of all sizes and qualities, jumbled
together. The bags are first taken up
by iron arms projecting from an end
less chain to the fifth story Of the fac
tory. Here they are weighed and emp
tied into large bins From these bins
they fall to the next story into large
cylinders, fourteen feet long, which re-
volve rapidly, and by friction the nuts
are cleansed from the earth which
clings to them, and polished SO that
they come out white and glistening.
From this story the nuts fall through
shoots to the third and most interest
ing floor. Imaginary rows of long.
narrow tables, each divided length

high strips of wood. These strips also
surround the edge of the table Each
of these sections is foored with strip

ten pickers, one may be quite certain
that is a first-class article fit for the
final plunge down two stories, into a

the highest market price.
The peanuts from the central aprons
fall only to the second story. where
they undergo yet another picking on
similar tables, the best of these form

of peanuts, or what remains after the
