Various Notes.


A dress as well as a coat should be fas-
tened from the bottom up, not from the
top down. The constant Juggling from the
shoulder soon gives any waist dragged
down look that may be avoided If 1t be
constantly pushed upward, as it is when
the lower fastenings are hooked or but
toned first. OF course this cannot be
done If dress is too small, another name
for what some people call good fit. Z"
But If "a waist be properly fitted, no mat
ter how closely, 1t can be as we'll fastened
from the bottom up as vice versa.

Mexicans Like CircumlOcutiOn.

While the American landlord writes,
"Don't blow out the gas" the Mexican
noticeiruns rs follows:
There is matter to which the man
agement respectfully desires to call the dis
tinguished attention of the guests who
exceedingly honor the hotel with their de-
sired presence. Inasmuch as many lives
have been lost aforetime through the in
advertency or reprehensible carelessness
of persons who have, instead of turning
the small brass cock attached to the gas
burner which hangs from the ceiling or
is attached to some portion Of the wall
it is confidently hoped by the manage
ment, etc.
After this we are not surprised to learn
that the Mexicans are deficient in humor.

the other course has the consola ton of

things-bring a friend with her to a

duces her to no one. At a large affair
the thing is permissible, though a trifie
snobbish; at a small one where people
are supposed to entirely mix both the

perfect right to feel insulted, and not

Among the Poultry.

Poultry seldom tires of milk.
Save your millet-seed for feeding
young chickens.
Keep all hens that moult early. They
will be the first to lay.

a hen from laying than an exclusive diet
OF cornmeal.
The early Matched pullets may be kept
for laying. but for breeding a sufficient
number of old hens should be kept.
Il is usual for some breeds to moult
lighter each year, and what may be sup
posed defects are only natural to the
breed.
Whenever fowls lay soft eggs give
them plenty of lime and green food. A
variety Of food is essential to health and
thrift.
If ducks are Matched out late, good
care should be taken to secure a vigor-
Gus, thrifty growth before cold weather
sets in.
Wheat and buckwheat are considered
the best grains for eggs. Barley and
oats are the best to induce a good
growth and development of bone and
muscle.
At this time see that the turkeys come
home regularly at night. The best way
TO bring them is by feeding a liberal ra-
ton of whole corn every night, all they
can eat up clean.
One of the greatest troubles in feed
ing poor grains is not in the loss as
compared with good grains, but in the
fact that overheated or musty grain
causes many diseases.
When fattening a turkey do not keep
it confined more than a week or ten
days or it will lose flesh. Turkeys are
too restless when deprived of their lib
erty and often refuse to eat.
The only way to dry-pick chickens or
turkeys is TO pick them as soon as they
are killed, while the body is still warm.
If the picking begins as soon as the
fowl is killed the feathers come out
easily and rapidly
On the farm where a variety of fowls
is kept it is not good economy to win
ter over too many. Poultry requires
good feed and care. small number
