neck is made Of very full, loose plait-
ings of black chiffon. 1t stands way
out beyond the ears, and is finished in
front, where it ends in long, full
strings, with punches of violets. An
other variation of these dainty novel
ties is the Elizsbethan ruff in chiffon,
which is very high in the back and
very low in the front. 1t is finished
with bow in the back. The Marie
Antoinette fichu is still much worn.
It is made of embroidered muslin or
chiffon, and crosses very near the
throat. Black mousseline de sole,
edged with yellow Valenciennes lace,
makes pretty shoulder cape. Deep
sailor collars of fine lace and embroid-
cred are worn over lowered silks.
They are finished with the white satin
stock collar. Short, small capes, bare
ly reaching to the waist, are much in
vogue. One of the pale shot silk,
covered with arabesques of the period,
the front composed of a full vest OF
louisine, has a collar of soft white
mousseline de sole. It is lined with
white satin. A chic model is OF black
Brussels net, accordion plated, over
a lining of delicate pink. The full
ruf1e about the neck is studded with
apple blossoms. A fringe of the same
flower hangs about the shoulders.

CULTURE OF CHICoRY.

There is nothing immoral in grow
ing chicorY and selling it, although it
may be used for adulterating ground
coffee. The effect of roasted chicory
root is thought by many persons to
improve ahe coffee, and many buy the
ground roasted root and mix it in this
way themselves. But it is question
sble affair as to the profit of growing
it, unless permanent contract can be
made to sell it. The roots ore white,
like parsnip, and are perennial, but,
of course, if they are dug up for use,
the seed or cuttings of the roots must
be planted every year. The flower is
light blue, like that of the dsnde-
lion in shape, but having fewer petals.
The root may be grown wherever the
carrot may. and the culture should be
the same as that of the carrot. The
seeds are not in the lists of the seeds.

TREA1BLES IN SHEEP,

The disease trembles in sheep is due
to Inflammation of the spinal cord and
its covering. The scientific name of
the disease is myelitis it is commonly
known also by the name of rachitis,
or louping i'll when in lambs. This
last name is due to the efforts of the
lamb to move without the help of the
psralyzed hind legs. 1t is thought to
be caused by the pasture or the water
on strong limestone lands. The rem
edy is to give one ounce doses of Ep.
som salts, and rub turpentine along
the spine quite freely. This treat
Eent is continued until Improvement
occurs. Frequent drinks of oatmeal

TIMOTHY FOR LAWNS.

Timothy grass is reckoned rather
coarse for lawns, but it makes sod
so much quicker than do the finer
grasses that it should always be sown
to hold the soil while the other grasses
are coming in. By cutting frequent
ly with the lawn mower the timothy
will be kept from growing too rank.
In a year or Two under such treat
ment the timothy will have run out,
and the lawn will be much better than
as if it had not been sown at first. It
is very hard to get lawn seed that is
free from seeds of weeds, while it is
not difficult to secure pure timothy
seed.

GOATS.

Having had eight years e1perc,.s
with this kind of stock, propose to
make your readers better acquainted
with them. Their milk, all medical
and scientific men agree, is the most
healthful and nutritious of that Of any
of our domestic animals, and especial
ly for delicate women and children.
Ny opinion is that the lives Of many
feeble ones would be saved by diet
of goats milk. Experience has Great.
ed this opinion.
Goats will give from two to three
quartz daily. 1t makes as much diff
ference in feeding milking goats gen.
eroasly as in feeding COWS. There are
thousand families in every city that
could make no better investment than
buying goat. The flesh of fat
young goat is most delicious eating,
far preferable to any wild game, and
when properly cooked makes dish fit
for king. It will be remembered
that Rebecca, who knew the nearest
way to mans heart was by his
stomach, did not make that recorded
meal of boned turkey and oysters and
fancy pastry, but ola "savory kid"
And since I have had goats to kill and
eat I have had q greater respect for
Rebecca's good Judgment.
The skins, when tanned, make beau
tiful rugs, coverings for chairs or
lounges, lap robes or coats, and, as
buffalo have disappeared, the best
substitute I know of for their robes
are goat skins.
My experience is that can raise
meat for the family cheaper from goats
than any other animals kept on the
farm. They are very prolific, usually
raising two kids year. I have one
nanny that IN five years has brought
forth and raised ten kids. They are
less liable to- disease than other AMI.
mails. Tuberculosis is never known
among them. They will thrive in large
herds and live to as great an age as
COW. They appear to crave coarse
feed, weeds of all kinds, and do we'll

pear to me to be natures scavengers
in the vegetable kingdom. There is no
green plant or weed that 7 know that
they refuse; pieplant, tobacco, horse.
radish, milk weed, burdock, thistles,
especially the Russian, seem to be
choice delicacies. I believe few goats
among horses and cattle is conductive
to the health of such animals. They
are very intelligent and appreciate
kind treatment.
OF the different breeds I have tried
only the native and Angoras. The na-
tives are more hardy and prolific, and
far better mixers, and I have no
doubt with care given to breeding for
milk that has been given to dairy
COVE four or five quarts of milk daily
could be assured. There are plenty of
goats in Germany, Denmark and
Switzerland that do better than that.
The Angoras are more delicate, not 30
good mothers, and require more care,
but their feeces will shear three or
four pounds, the price of which, in
Boston, ranges from twenty-five to
sixty cents a pound.-Farm, Stock

1t is q good plan to drive stakes deep
in the ground on the two ends of the

the sides. Fasten strip across these
stakes, so it will touch the peak of the
roof OF the coop. This will hold the
coop securely in place in case severe

Farm chickens which have the run

too much which is artificial about the
average poultry yard, and only they
are successful who recognize and rem.
edy this as much as possible.

TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
UTILIZING sKI.I MILK.

A Swedish process for utilizing skim
milk for cattle feed is described in a
report to the State Department by
United States Consul Boyesen at Goth
enberg. He says the inventor claims
that the process is worth millions OF
dollars, but as he failed to secure q
patent for it, he has given the pro-
cess to the public. In brief, it con-
sists in causing chopped straw to ab-
sorb large quantities of skim milk,
previously sterilized and curdled with
renet, and then feeding the mixture
to cattle.

quickly. Removable wire mesh bot
toms may be used and thus a choice
made in the size of mesh to use any
particular grain or beans, peas, etc.
It will pay to use a mesh coarse enough
to permit all small and inferior ker-
nels of grain to fall through with the
weed seed. Then only the best and
most vigorous kernels will be sowed.
Such selection of the seed year after
year Will bring up the quality of the

THE VALUE OF SHADE.

A practical gardner, writing in the
London Garden, calls attention to the
value OF shade in growing certain
hardy kinds of flowers, like phloxes,
marigolds, primroses, etc. Years

phloxes had been grown IN sunny beds
and did poorly, to another place where
was fernery By lakeside shaded by
trees, he found phloxes growing ram.

saxifrages delight in shady places all
