A simple and inexpensive protection
for the manure, such as is illustrated
herewith, is not out of the reach of
anyone, however, and with its use the
manure can be kept safe from all
teaching. The. manure is usually
thrown out in heaps by the side of the
barn. A shed roof can be built over
these at small expense. The cut shows
the method of framing. the dotted
lines showing the boarding of the
ends. The only mistake likely to be
made is in getting the roof too narrow,
with the result that rains accompanied
by wind may beat in and wash the
outer part of the piles, which will
spread out upon the ground more or
less, even with careful management.
The outer edge of the roof need be
only high enough that cart can be
backed under it, and being thus low
will aid not little in keeping out the
rain; but even with low roof should
want width of at least twelve feet,
and good gutter upon the outer edge.
Let the ground be level under such a
shed roof, or, at most, but slightly
sloping, else the manure will be con-
tinually rolling out from under the
shelter of the roof when thrown out Of
the windows.
Where such an arrangement Is used,
care must be taken to have the cattle
stalls we'll lighted from the ends of the
barn.-Webb Donnell, in n. Y. Trib-
une.

Tho Wide skirt Must Go.

Our prayers have been answered!
The heavy, widely-distended skirts will
very soon be thing of the past. They
are an abomination, and ought never
to have been allowed to become fash
ionable. Why, it would take four hands
to manipulate the folds in such a way
a. to keep the skirt out of the dust,
and when woman tries to accomplish
the task with two her gown is soon
forgotten in her cramped fingers, and
she gives it up in despair. How any
thing SO totally unfit to be worn in the
street ever became. a fashion is a mys.
terry to everyone, except. perhaps, those
who manufacture hair-cloth. But ply
sicians have denounced the heavy lin.
ings as injurious to health, and this,
with the men who have patiently tried
to endure the burden for fashions sake,
has brought about decided reaction
against them, and the heavy skirt must

SCREWS FOR REPAIRS.

In Most Instances They Are Far More
serviceablo Than Nails.
A good supply of screws, Of various
lengths and sizes, should be kept, for
in very many places where nails are
much better. Screws will hold two
pieces of wood more rigidly than nails;
whereas it is difficult in most instances
to tighten loose work with nails in
places where there is an unusual strain
on the parts to be held together. BY
the gross they can be purchased very
cheap and, in the long run, found no
more expensive in many places than
nails. Screws may be made to hold in
soft wood or where the cut has become
too large, by the use of glue. Prepare
the glue thick, immerse q stick about
half the size of the screw, and put it
into the hole; then immerse the screw,
and drive it home as quickly as pos
sible. When there is some article of
furniture to be repaired and no glue is
to be had handily, insert the stick and
fill the rest of the cavity with pulver-
lied resin; then heat the screw suf1-
ciently to melt the resin as it ID
driven in.
In broken plastered wall the best
plan is to enlarge the hole to about
twice the diameter of the screw, fill it
with plaster of paris, such as is used
for fastening the tops of lamps, ETC.,
and bed the screw in the soft plaster.
When the plaster has set the screw will
be held very firmly. If screws arc
warmed and dipped in melted tallow
or raw linseed oil, it will prevent their
rusting and they can always be un.
screwed with ease. A large quantity
of screws can be CREASED in a few
minutes, and the operation is one
which will result in a great saving OF
time and labor.

THIN FABRICS.

Organdy and Swiss Vie with Each Other
for Preference.
Swiss comes in almost as MANY va.
rieties as organdy. The meshes are
rather too wide to admit of pretty pat
terms in colors, but this difficulty is
surmounted by making the patterns in
silk of the same shade as the ground
work. A dainty pattern has blue
ground with silk dots and bow-knots
in an all-over effect.
But organdies are finer and come in
such alluring patterns that it requires
firmpess of purpose to resist them. An
organdy gown over silk is correct for
the most elaborate occasion. Made
over white silk and trimmed with
Valenciennes lace it is dainty for even
ing wear. For afternoon it is often
made Over dark silk to match some
tint In the figure.
Modistes sometimes make up for the
lack of flowers in the dotted Swiss by
trimming them with wreaths and
bunches of artificial flowers.
One of the sweetest and freshest
gowns of this kind is q white-dotted
Swiss made with very wide skirt. It
has bunches of roses set all around the
bottom at intervals of about ten
inches. The bodice is a round blouse
fastened at the waist with belt of
ribbon that ties at the sides and hangs
in long ends. Another bunch of fow-
ers is set on at the head of the bow.
A null collarette finishes the neck. It
has q wreath of flowers around the
neck, and another around the lower
edge. The leghorn hat has a frill of
lace standing up around the crown,
and another which spreads out over
the brim. with velvet band to join
them. A bunch of flowers is the only
other trimming. Chicago News.

for, though it may be practiced else
where, have not in other places OBJ
served its use to anything like the ex-
tent that is to be seen in New Eng
land. This matters little, however.
The main point is to bring the value of
the plan to the attention of farmers
that now permit their manure piles to
be leached by every rain and by the
melting SHOWS of winter, such manure
heaps being usually situated alongside
the barn and directly under the caves
which may or may not have cutters to
carry off the rain that falls upon the
roofs. OF course, those who leave
their stable dressing exposed to such
conditions do not fully realize the loss
they are suffering, for it seems hardly
credible that anyone would be so ex-
travagantly wasteful if he realized
the truth about the matter. have in
mind now one farm where for sixty
years or more the dressing of from ten
to twenty head of stock has been thus
thrown out under the gutterless caves,
and after every heavy rain during all
that time q thick brown stream has
run down from the barnyard and
coursed along through q ravine till it
emptied into a river. Fully one-half
of the value of all the dressing made
on that farm for sixty years has thus
run down into the ocean. AS matter
of fact. l presume that much more
than half of the value has been lost,
for on this same farm the liquid por-
ton of the manure $50 per cent. at
least in value of the whole) has been
allowed to run down through the
''tie-up" floor, instead of being saved
by a tight manure gutter and the use
of absorbents. It is just such wretched
management as this which keeps so
many of our farms run out" and so
many of our farmers discouraged.
There is little enough stable dressing
leached of from so to rs per cent. of its
fertilizing qualities, it is small wonder
that the crops are meager and that
one crop seems to use up nearly all the
dressing put upon the land, leaving
little for subsequent crops of grain or
grass.
Some barns have manure cells where
all the dressing made, including the
liquid portion, can be saved; but such
barns are the exception and not the
rule. Barnyards entirely covered by
one or more roofs are excellent where
they can be afforded, but it is useless
to urge the great body of farmers to
roof over their entire yards for the
protection of both stock and manure.

A wIFE's OBEDIENCE,

Aboat the Wefd Obsy n the Marriage
Service.
Much Is said, both wise and other.
wise, in reference to the obedience
which wife vows to yield to her hus-
band. Brides boast that they have
evaded the word 'obey" and substi-
tuted ''go gay" ''say nay" or some
other of similar sound. After her wed.

Rev. F. D. Maurice, who had performed
the ceremony, snow, Mr.. Maurice. I
call you to witness that entertain no
intention Of obeying." Maurice an
swered with his sad, sweet smile: "Ah,
madam, you little know the blessed
ness of obedience."
OF course, no one worthy of atten-
ton believes that it is q wife's duty to
obey when her husband wishes her to
act contrary to tho dictates of con-
science. As little is she expected to
conform to a standard Of obedience and
service such as was laid down in a con-
versation overheard between two chill
dren who were playing on the sands
together: Small boy to little girl-Do

On a great many points, however.
concerning the pecuniary or other in.
terests of the family, the husband will
usually be tho wiser, and may most
ner in the firm. A woman may like to
have her own way, but she has little
respect for the husband who gives in
to her in everything. The ideal wife
claims the liberty of being herself and
managing the house, but she never re
fuses loyalty to an affection which.

and obedience are indeed terms that

The word "obey" had not as great

omit the word ''obey," and she an
swered: II wish to be married as .

as she was in this respect They do
desire to exercise sovereignty over
their husbands, and not prefer TO reign

third made me philosopher" None
of these wives could have caught the
full solemnity of the vows they took
when they wore being married.
The vexed question of conjugal ohe-
dience was settled by Spurgeon in q
characteristic way. In an address at

The Selection of rertiil.er..

Many farmers who use fertilizers
content themselves by procuring phos-
pilates. While the phosphates are ex-
cellent, yet they do not give the best
results when used alone. Fertilizers
should also contain nitrogen and pot
ash, the proportions varying according
to the demands of the soil. Land that
has produced a crop of clover, and the
sod turned under. will produce good
crops If phosphate and potash are used.
as the clover roots supply the needed
nitrogen. No formula for fertilizer
can be given for all soils. Farmers can
only learn what their soils require BY
experimenting to some extent
