quite the mode for the time being.
Yellow is beautiful color properly
used, but, like all fashionable fancies,
is liable to the greatest misuses, and
women who are simply hideous in
yellow cover themselves with it from
head to feet. In all shades it prevails,
from orange to cream. A special vie W

touch that one is supposed to bestow
upon such goods fails to warn the
buyer of the utter worthlessness of it

who desires to investigate crinkled

ASHES FOR HOGS.

A subscriber writes: If the ground
upon which hogs are fed is clay or
contains soft rock, which the hogs eat,
will it hinder them from growing or
fattening? / fed bunch of hogs
upon clay hillside, which contained
soft rock, and / noticed them roofing
into the ground and eating the rock
quite often. They did not grow or
fatten as they should, but seemed very
healthy. Was told hogs would not do
well on such soil.
If our correspondent had supplied
his hogs with ashes or something of
that nature he would have found that
they would lave fattened more than
they did, and would not nave eaten
so much of the soft rock he describes.
Hogs have craving for material of
this kind, and it should be catered to
by seeing that they always have access
to hardwood ashes. When they are
being fattened on corn this is espec-
tally advisable.
AT the Wisconsin Experiment station
they found that the effect of feeding
such material as hardwood ashes and
bone meal to hogs receiving n corn
ration, resulted in saving of twenty
eight per cent of the corn required to
produce 100 pounds gain. The ashes
seem to act as corrective in some
way and facilitates digestion. Hogs
will be noticed frequently munching
decayed brick, soft stone and other
like material, especially if they have
not been given ashes. In the three
experiments referred to, in feeding
ashes, 1t took 4S7 pounds of cornmeal
to produce 100 pounds of gain, when
bone meal was fed, and 929 pounds
when these were withheld from the ra-
ton and corn fed alone. The strength
of the bones of the hogs was more
than doubled by feeding bone meal
fact which has an important bearing
on the common trouble experienced by
fattening hogs losing the use of their
legs owing to weakness. Farm, Field

Christ cast on his garments when at wor-
