FASHION NOTES.

Fancy taffeta silks will be in high
vogue the coming season.
Incipient paniers are appearing
upon models for spring gowns.
The large shops are already display
ing on their counters new cotton waists
for the summer of 1896.
The newest plaids are Iovely-wbite,
green and black together, or violet,
rose and green, with many other at.
tractive combinations.
The dealers are putting their faith
aud money largely into alapacas of
light colors and exquisite gloss, and
also the heavier woven mohairs.
Grenadines are being imported
again, and in all their great variety,
from gauzelike surfaces as thin as
mousseline de sole to those with large
canvas woven squares.
Madras, silk glngham, zephyr, grass
linen, batiste and percale are the
fabrics of shirt waists, and they are in
solid grounds of quaint colors, or
dotted, or else In checks aud stripes.
Garments that may be worn now and
all through the spring are handker-
chief waists of Persian silks, usually
red in the ground, with border OF
palm leaves, made mp very effectively.
Muslins, chlffons, lawns of every
tint and device, and many other
dainty varieties of dog day attire.
now fill the shop windows OF fancy
dry goods and importing houses of the
city.
Grass linen and its kindred fabrics,
ecru batiste and holland, have by no
means had their day of favor. They
are imported in great quantities, in
stripes of color, with all over designs
of embroidery.
A very pretty gown is of brown
boucle capucine, with a bodice of
brown velvet; over this is q frontlet Of
brown satin, consisting of n box plat
IN the center edged with ruffie of
brown gauze and two plaits on either
side.
Fur edgings around the hens of
skirts are going out OF favor. They
are untidy and unsanitary. They

WHY GREEN BONE MArEs HENS LAY.


This important question is the sub.
ject OF much discussion. Enthusiasts
claim so much for fresh-cut bone that
the earnest desire of practical poultry
men to know the truth of the matter
has led to careful investigation.
The results have been very satisfac.
tory and the reason so simple as III
excite surprise that it was never
thought OF before. No intelligent
farmer would expect to reap rich
harvest who sowed the seed in poot
and WORKOUT soil. 1t is fact that il
we'll known that NIL plant life needs
food, and tho highest development il
attained when its own particular kin
OF food is furnished. a hen has t.
find the material to form an egg frorj
the food she gets. If that food is ric'i
in the egg constituents, she lays well,
but if lacking in them she lays poorly.
A chemical analysis of green bone
shows that it contains every element
found IN the white, the yolk and the
shell of the egg.
This accounts for the avidity with
which green bone is devoured by thu
hen. Instinct implants in all animals
taste and desire for foods that ara
suitable for them. a hen will leave
any other food at any time for mess
OF green bone. In summer, when al.
lowed free range, bugs and worms sup
ply this craving for animal food, and
that is one reason why hens lay better
IN summer than in winter. During
winter, or when confined, bugs and
worms cannot be had, and the hen has
to wait days and sometimes even
weeks to accumulate from the INSULT
cient food supplied her insufficient
not in quantity, but in egg-making
elem ents) enough material to make an
egg. But when given n daily allow
ance of green bone rich In every con-
stituent of the egg, the hen no longer
has to wait, each organ receives its
necessary nourishment, the egg is
formed quickly and the hen has got to
lay. 1t is precisely the same princi-
pie as feeding the soil with fertilizer;
it does not hurt the soil to enrich it,
neither does it hurt the hen to supply
her natural cravings; she is healthier,
stronger and better in every way for
it. So, instead of trusting to blind
chance of luck, we invoke the aid of
science, and produce a living egg ma
chine, just rs truly as science has
made living milk machine Of the
cow.-Farm and Home.

The Lionesa Killed Him

An English major has just been killed
In n desperate fight with lioness In
Somaliland. The ANIMAL was driven out
OF thicket by heaters, and the major
wounded her severely; the attendant

with one blow of her paw on the head.
The major then fired another shot al
her, and she turned upon him. Not hav.

DEEP SOIL FOR ROOTS.

There is scarcely any limit to the
depth which parsnips, carrots and
some kinds of beets will 60 down if
the soil is rich and deep enough. we
have grown parsnips and carrots twelve
to fifteen inches long, and beets even
longer than these, but large part of
them were grown above ground. It
Is more work to dig these deep-rooted
varieties of beets, but by blowing be-
side the row and turning the soil away
from the roots, using the upper part
ms lever, the root may be pried out
very readily. In some cases where
carrots and parsnips were grown in
places where tree stump had been
pulled ont, and its place filed with
rich soil, these roots have been grown
nearly or quite two feet long. But
these extra long roots are apt to be
coarse and less desirable as feed for
stock even than those that are grown
of smaller size. To our liking carrots
and parsnips, when very young and
sold early in the summer by the bunch,
have much better flavor than do the
same roots that have grown all the
season. American CUltivator.

TEST YOUR COWS.

Don't trust any COW that comes
along. Keep dairy record and find
out what each animal is doing for YOU.
1t is necessary to know exactly how
much milk each COW produces in n
year, and If You are making butter
you must learn how much butter fat
each cows milk contains. These points
can only be learned by using the milk
scale and Babcock tester. Three TO
four per cent. is fair average of the
fat IN milk. Cows vary good deal in
this respect. As rule the larger the
quantity of milk a COW yields the
smaller the percentage of butter fat in
the milk. The Jerseys lead in the
percentage of fat in their milk. Test
the abilities OF your cows thoroughly
and weed out of the herd those that
do not come up to the standard. There
is no money in n COW that fails to pro
duce geo pounds of butter wear.
This is in the beginning. Afterwards
the standard should be raised to 225
pounds, and then gradually increased
until 1T reaches 300 pounds. To attain
this requires care and skill in the feed
ing and management of the herd.
Great attention must be paid to the
kind of sire. A good cow bred to n
thoroughbred and butter producing
stock will generally bring n good calf.
Whether the better calf will make a
good COW for butter or milk can only
be determined by actual test, but the
chances are in its favor. If the heifer
produces $50 pounds of butter the first
year she may be considered very prom
lsing. She shonld then steadily i'm
prove until she passes her prime. If
she fails to do this, she should be
weeded out New York World.

FADs OF NOTABLE WOMEN

Madame Modieska is excessively
fond of music, and devoted to its
study. Mrs. Langtry has a penchant
for hand painted fans. Mary Ander-
-Naverro's chief diversion is chess
playing. Ellen Terry declares her
pet passion to be that for perfumes
and rich fabrics. Louise Imogene
Quincy Is devoted to out-of-door pur-
suits. She delights in rowing and
such tremendously long walks as few
Americans indulge in. She is often
met many miles away from home, ac-
companied by one of her fine dogs.
Miss Alice French, better known as
Octave Thanet, is au enthusiastic
amateur photographer. Her intense
interest in the working classes has be-
come more than an outside issue, for
it has come to permeate her literary
work. Both Mrs. Frances Hodoson
Burnett and Ella Wheeler Wilcox have
tastes which are particularly domestic.

FEATHERS ARE TIE RAGE.

Feathers are seen everywhere, aud
combined with imitation Jewels and
jet they make most elaborate trim
mings. Vandyke points made OF black
ostrich plumes are strikingly effective
on light colored evening gowns; small,
curly tips are used for outlining de-
collete bodies; in the stores narrow
feather trimming is sold by the yard
for expensive cloth costumes, which is
appllqued to the bodice to simulate n
vest, or to outline seams; spangles are
frequently combined with feather
fringe, and trimmings formed of feathe Ell
pendants are likewise used.
