The dnchesse dressing table is treas

known its comfort would find it hard to
compute. 1t is so low that its owner
may sit before its mirror and do her
hair with comfort, and it is easily made
at home by simply saving off the legs
of pine stand and covering it with
pink or blue silesia, with an outer GOV
ering Of ruffled dotted muslin or fine
cheesecloth embroidered i'll wild roses
or forgetmenots to match the underlying
hue. The mirror may be one of the old
fashioned mahogany or brass framed
glasses, or common wooden frame may
be covered and artistically draped with
the materials used ON the table. A lace

News and Notes.

1t is reported that the 1895 onion crol
is full yield, though not up to the
bonanza crop of 1891.
The northern limit of successful, rasp
berry culture has been greatly extended
by the practice of laying down the
canes in winter and covering with
earth.
1t is estimated .hat the cranberry crop
is about one-third that of the full yield
A correspondent of Country Gentle
man gives the assurance that winter
turf oats can be sown in the spring with
success.
Secretary Of Agriculture Morton has

stations and has had the property sold

The trade in frozen milk, which has
advanced to important proportions in
England, Is attracting attention here,

Irrigation Problems.

The problems involved in irrigation
of the present and for the future are
vital, not only to our western states, bu.
to the rest of the country. The Ameri
can Agriculturist has shown how direct
is the interest of the south in this mat
ter, for II comprehensive system of stor
age reservoirs in the west might hold
back the floods which now periodically
devastate the valleys of the Missouri,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Red and other
rivers, whose waters ultimately seek the
gulf, The relation of contiguous states
to interstate irrigation enterprises is an
other problem that is yearly becoming
more complicated.
The Somerset reporter., 1895-10-31
Winter Oats.

Letters from experiment stations in
the central west show that winter oats
have been tried but in few localities
north Of the Ohio; that practically no
systematic tests have been made of them
in all that region, and that they have
been most successful in the extreme
southern portions Much the same can
be said of winter oats in the middle and
New England states, although they are
used to some extent in southern Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland. At the Rhode
Island experiment station, where the
winters are usually less severe than in
almost any other part of New England
winter oats were sown with rye after
potatoes in 1891. They terminated well,
but failed to live through the winter
not even single stool showing green
leaf in spring, and no trials have since
been made there. In calling attention to
the foregoing American Agriculturist
says ave do not know of any New
England or York state farmer who has
grown these oats, but they thrive in
northern Virginia, where the mercury
goes IL degrees below zero, and several
miles north Of Indianapolis "

Bad Odors In the Dairy.

Cleanliness in raising good mutton
sheep is necessary in order to produce
healthful and vigorous animals; practice
cleanliness in every way to an extent that
will make it noticeable by customers
Conduct part of the business in such a

could not find fault with anything if he
should at all times have access to your
sheep, your barn, your astrres, and your

a view to finding something unclean about
them. A good first class mutton sheep
