FEATHERS AID THE RAGE.

1t seems that feathers are to be all
the rage as soon rs the summer season
Is over. | obtained this information
from NJ. A. Dsshayes, President of the
Chambre Syndicate des Fabricants de
Plumes, who obligingly furnished me
with the following additional particu-
lars:
The feather trade is n thoroughly
Partisan industry. 1t includes $50
manufacturers, some of whom transact
business to the extent of 5000, 900
year. The feather market is held in
London every two months. Most of
the ostrich feathers come from the
Cape and from Barbary, while Japan,
Senegal, Brazil and Russia supply
birds feathers of other descriptions
Ostrich feathers, of course, head the
list.
But nearly all the feathers are pre-
pared and dyed in Paris, for although
France annually exports feathers to
the amount of SO, 400, 600, her imports
do not amount to $4,000.
Tho large wholesale dealers in Lon
don, who have enormous capital Mt
their disposal, have warehouses for
purchases at the Cape, and their trans
actions amount to hundreds of millions
of dollhrs.-New York Herald.

GIRLS HIDE THEIR EARS.

There seems to be n tendency on the
part of many girls nowadays to hide
their ears. This they do by shipping
their hair Mt the sides and then, after
iiufling and crimping it to the last de-
gree, they brush the mass forward I'M
til there is no vestige of ear to be seen.
The effect is somewhat Donatello. like,
MS though the modern maiden, like the
modern faun, had something TO con
ceal. The observer can't help but
wonder to himself if, under those
fluffy masses, there are not furry, lit
tie, leaf-like points instea OF the
regulation human ears.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The harrow is one of the greatest OF
weed destroyers.
Young chicks should be fed Mt least
four times day.
MIllet can be- sown rs late rs the
end of the first week in July.
Use the odd pieces for turnips,
rape, millet, .buckwhoat and other
later crops.
If your chicks are shut up don't
forget TO clip them some inc grass or
clover every day. They need it.
As good butter can be made at home
as in creamery, but it must be done
with equal care rs to cleanliness, etc.
There is still plenty of time to hatch
Leghorns, for they will begin laying

When hens lay soft sheled eggs it
is usually because they have not

Whether it will pay to warm water

many things, the first, probably, be-
ing the milk value of the COW, and the
next the cost and trouble of warming.
II your big hens are troubled with
soro feet, it is doubtless caused by
jumping from the perches. The best
remedy is TO remove the porches, and
let the fowls roost on straw for n
while.
There are lots of eggs in green food.
