FASHION NOTES.

The new flannelettes show a great
variety Of checks and stripes. These
are nice for childrens dresses.
1t is now an absolutely settled fact
that for hostess to wear at her own
afternoon receptions full ball dress is
very bad form.
In white goods, dotted crepe will
have a large share of attention this
spring. The dainty dots give charm
that is irresistible.
A great many of the dress skirts
show an under and contrasting skirt
at the hem. Without doubt we are
going to wear upper and under skirts
The leading dressmakers agree that
the greatest change in woman's dress
during the coming spring will be in
the direction of double skirts, looped
or plain.
An English writer states that the
reign of the bud" is ended, and tha t
in year or two nothing less than the
age of thirty may expect TO win ad-
miration.
Colored stones are in the ascendency
with vengeance. Among them
amethysts are predominant, especially
for wire bangles with hearts and other
devices.
Among the fine wool goods for spring
and summer wear are those Of can
vas or basket weaving, with tiny dots
of mohair of the same color In the
basket squares. These are for travel
ing dresses and for general wear.
"Avoid black; dress effectively, not
subjecively," says a modern clothes
philosopher. This advice comes at Il
poor time just when the dressmakers
are asserting that it will be "a black
spring." and the shop windows are
filling up with black and white silk
waists.

Sores on Cattle,

There are many sores on cattle,
which if kept constantly washed
clean with cold water and
kept free from dirt, would heal OF
themselves. A very careful herdsman
says his practice of curing hoof-rot is
to thoroughly cleanse the affected parts
with warm water and soap; and then
apply warm tar between the hoofs. In
very bad cases there will be n large
core to come out; remove it carefully
with the thumb and finger, cleanse the
cavity as above with soap and water,
and then fill 1t with warm tar Keep
the parts thoroughly covered with tar,
even If 1t Is necessary to use band
age. Keep the animal In clean, dry
pasture. 1t is no more liable to affect
the whole system than any other ulcer.
When once cured there is no danger
of its appearing again unless from the
same cause.

Married His Doctor.

1t seemed that family in Cincinnati
Is considerably annoyed that young
member of 1t has very suddenly mar
Iicd a female physician in Savannah,
Ga.
The gentleman In question had gone
to that city for his health. and, find
ing the services of physician neces-
sary, called in lady. In few days
they were married.
His family proposes to introduce di-
vorce proceedings at once on the
ground that she exercised undue in
fuence over him.
The case suggests some very un-
pleasant possibilities. IF female ply
sician. under pretense of curing dis
ease, can visit a male patient and
compel him to marry her, what safety
remains for the timid and shrinking
bachelor?
The average nonprofessional woman
is dangerous enough to the masculine
heart, but when she comes clothed
with the occult powers here alleged,
what is poor fellow to do?
There Is nothing for it but to marry
out of hand.-Philadelphia Press.

SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURE.
Success Is Due wholly to Knowledge of the
Law of Nature.

LAW OF NHturts
Prof. /. T.. Roberts, director of the
College of Agriculture and the expert
ment station at Cornell University,
writes as follows regarding progress In
agriculture:
The energy expended In the opera
tions of the farm to be at all effective
must be carried on agrceably with the
laws which govern tillage and the
growth of plants and animals. Many
of these laws are now known; some
are concisely and Systematically ar
ranged, forming true science; ana
some of them are capable OF such
definite application that they may be
classed among the exact sciences The
production of butter from milk has
been reduced to a science almost as
exact as has the determination of
solids in milk by chemical analysis.
Within the last quarter of a century
the wall which divided science from
practice has been broken down, though
not entirely oblltcrated. So long as
agriculture was considered and prac-
ticed as an art little permanent prog
ress was made, but wherever and
whenever 1t has been studied as botn
a science and an art advancement has
been rapid and permanent Nearly ali
the Improvements in agriculture which
have been made in the last century
have been due to the discovery and ap-
plication of laws before unknown or
unapplied, rather than to improve
ments in the mere art of farming.
Blackwell, in 1885, discovered and APP
piled the primary laws which govern
the art of improving domestic animals.
Anciently the breeding of animals was
practiced as an art alone; hence little
Improvement was made"
Regarding rotation Prof. Roberts
says: Rotation of crops may be dc
fined to be the arrangement of a GER
tain regular succession of plants of n
different species with view to econo-
mlZe the fertility Of the land, prevent
the growth of certain species of weeds,
economize labor, and to distribute 1t.
SO far as possible through the entire
year. 1t Is well-known fact that
some crops require that their food shall
be abundant ard readily soluble, while
others are able to thrive well on nour-
ishment drawn from less tractable sub
stances. This Is supposed to be due
to the greater power of the roots in
some species to eXCretc some solvents
which assist in setting plant food free.
Inc difference IN amounts OF 1nOr-
ganic matter abstractcd from the soil
by different species of cultivated plants
is so small that no account is taken of
them in fixing upon any given rota-
ton. There are four conditions-cli-
mate, soil, local position and economy
of labor-which should be observed in
fixing upon any given rotation. a
common rotation is two years of grass
or clover, one of corn, one of oats or
barley, and one of wheat. When wheat
and potatoes both thrive, u three-years'
rotation-clover, potatoes and wheat
is often adopted. The exudations of
the roots of plants do not, as was for
merly supposed, poison the soil. =.
Save in exceptional cases, a rotation
should be planned so as to secure the
largest net returns, which maintain
ing, or even increasing, the productive
power of the land"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1894-05-11
Early mbs.

In many localities an early
lamb will sell for more mosey
than will the eve and her fleece; there
fore, where there is a market for early
lambs the breeding of these is a very
profitable business, if the persin who
attempts it is provided with ample
shelter and understands the manage
ment of both ewes and lambs,
Lambs for early market are bred so
as to be dropped in February and
March. February is a hard month to
bring them through, and without ju-
diciouS treatment and warm shelter
many lambs will be lost. The chef
aim is to get the lambs ready for market
as soon as possible, as it is the earliest
arrivals that gain the highest prices.
1t is necessary TO keep the dams in
good condition with sufficient food to
make plenty of nOurishng milk. EX-
perlence and judgment are required in
feeding the lambs; they must have
food enough to promote rapid, healthy
growth, and yet of character that will
not produce securing. While the lambs
are still with the ewes, it is well to
supply them additional food. The
can soon be taught to drink milk
which is fresh and warm from the
cow. Later on, oats, rye and wheat
bran, finely ground together make an
excellent feed. AS gentle laxative IL
few ounces of linseed oil cake will be
found beneficial and at the same time
nourishing.
AS the lambs approach the period for
weaving extra food should be in
creased; indeed, the weaving must be
very gradually accomplished. The sud-
den removal of the lambs from their
dam is injurious to both. A plan gen
orally followed to avoid the evil effects
of sudden change, is that of remov-
ing the lambs to good pasture of
short, tender grass, and at night re-
turning them to the fold with the ewes.
The ewes must not be neglected. Their
feed should be gradually diminished so
as to diminish the yield of milk.
