Summer Silks.

The handsomer qualities of silk, or.
to speak more correctly, the more ex-
pensive qualities, are being made up for
summer outfits. Poult de sole is a
fashionable material, and comes in ex-
quisite shades. A maize or corn color
is among the. novelties, and when
trimmed with white lace is exceedingly
becoming. 1t used TO be thought that
anything approaching yellow should be
exclusively worn by brunettes, but
never was there greater mistake, for
blondes look equally well in that color.
These heavy silks used to be considered
suitable only for evening wear, but we
have now no fixed laws for material or
coloring fer different occasions. Gray
is lovely in poult de sole, and n robins
egg blue is the softest and most delicate
thing imaginable. Lace, embroideries.
mousseline de sole, and chiffon all cont
bine satisfactorily with these heavy
silks, but black lace, unless for older
women, should never be chosen to trim
them, although there are many gowns
that have been lately made up that have
fine black lace on the solid colors.
White against the soft shading is usual
ly becoming, and gray made up with
white and touches of yellow gives =
beautifully picturesque effect.-Har.

VALUABLE POINTERS.
II They Are Followed Horse Breeding Ia
Bound to BE Profitable.

II They Are Followed Horse Breeding Is
Bound to BE Profitable.
To those of our readers who share our
faith that horse breeding will pay in the
future, says Wallace, we give several
pointers. Don't breed any mares under
any circumstances that have a disease
that may be transmitted by inheritance,
as for example, spawn, or any other de.
feet of bony structure. Don't breed any
small mares to draft horses; the result
will be misfit and will sell al about beef
prices. Don't breed except with def
mite purpose in view. If you wish to
breed heavy draft horses, use 1000
pound mares; if express horses weigh
ing 1,600 pounds, use active shape
ly, spirited mares weighing 1,1D0
pounds. Select the best sire in the
neighborhood or county for the purpose
you have in view and breed only for. a
definite purpose. If for drafts, use
draft material; if for coach horses, use
coach blood. There is not much of it in
the country, but there is some, and as
good show as any will be had by using
the large standard bred horses. Begin
practicing for the next years colt by
taking the proper care of this years
colt, no matter how it may be bred.
Don't let it tag along after the mare in
the corn field, but leave it at home in a
good, dark stable, or better still in Il
pasture lot with shed to run into and
something nice to eat in good clean
box in the corner, and in place where
the chickens don't roost over it. Give
1t small grain ration up until weaving
time and let the grain he oats. 1t is
oats that put bone and good form in n
horse, or for that matter in boy. II
these suggestions are followed, the
breeding of horses gives as much
promise in these dull times as any
thing else on the farm.

PASTURE FOR PIGS.
Results of Careful Experiments Exten A.
Ing DYER

Results of Careful Experiments Exten A.
ing Over Four Years.
Exercise, good air and sunshine play
much greater part in pig raising than
most people commonly suppose. 1t IN
for this reason that the western prac-
tice of relying quite largely on grazing
for the nourishment of swine is so sue
cessful.
This has never been so clearly demon
strated as by series of pig feeding
tests extending over four years, made
by Mr.. A. A. Mills, Of Utah. We give
the results below:
1. Pigs allowed to run at large over
IS acres of good pasture and fed full
ration of grain made the most rapid
growth and required the least grain for
one pound of gain.
2. Pigs confined in movable pens in
the pasture grew more slowly than
those running loose, and required an
increase of 20 per cent. of grain to make
one pound of growth.
3. Pigs at pasture, fed under three
different conditions, gained 92.5 cent.
more and ate but two per cent more
than the pigs getting grass and other
wise similarly fed, but confined in pens.
The grain required to produce one
pound of gain was increased 40 per cent.
with those in pens over those in pas
ture. .t..r
4. Pigs fed but part rations of grain
at pasture made satisfactory gains.
Those at pasture getting the three
fourths grain ration gained more than
those fed full grain ration and grass,
either in the yard or in the pens.
5. Pigs pastured without grain made
about the same growth for three sea
SONS in succession, this averaging SO
of pound day.
6. AS nearly as can be judged, exer-
else alone increased the gain % per
cent, and the amount eaten but Is per
cent, but decreased the amount re-
quircd for one pound gain % per cent.
Z. Grass when cut and fed green to
pigs, whether fed in pens or yards. or
with full or part grain rations, or with
out grain, proved to be of very little
value. ..t 49,. ..... ,r
s. Pigs confined in pens and fed on
grass alone, mostly lucerne, for 81 days,
lost over quarter of pound per day.
0. The average of the pigs fed on
grass gained little more than those
without the grass, but not enough to
pay for the extra feed in the grass.
TO- With the pigs confined in the hog
house pens, the grass proved beneficial,
while with those in the yard it proved
detrimental, the latter requiring more
grain to make a pound of pork with
the grass than without it. .s.. .-.
IL. Pasturing either with full or
with part grain rations appeared to be
by far the cheapest and best way OF
making pork. "f-

Desolate, dcspairing men and women
wandered among the ruins. Now and
then there was one who bewailed his

curse, but for the most part the victims
bore their sorrow in sullen silence, and

wALDENsIANs AT WORK.

Thus far, the colonists have been too
busy at clearing the lands and building
houses to make much of showing. 1t
will be several years before the results
of their work and industry are fully
seen. Already they have set out quite
a number of fruit trees and vines.
Many of them are familiar with grape
growing in italy, and they will soon
learn the methods of successful viticul-
ture in this country.
They are giving up using their old
and clumsy implements, and to-day
they handle the pillow as sk:llfully as the
native farmers. AS our illustration
shows, the women and children lend a
hand and work in the fields. The ma
jority of the people are young and in
the prime of life; that is, they are under
the age of 40. The women are strong,
thrifty and make good wives. The
men are active, vigorous, Industrious
and used to hard work. They should
make good citizens.-American Agri-

GOOD BUTTER COW.
What She Should Look Like and How She
e.. Should Act.

a Should Act.
The good mich COW should have a
large muzzln, slim neck and yellow skin.
She should have d long face, wide be-
tween the eyes, alert and expressive,
and placed long way between the
horns. Her breathing should be regu-
lar and strong, indicative of strong lung
power. The back and abdomen should
be strong, the udded wide where it
joins the body, and the teats be squarely
placed; the tail slim. She should be
wedge-shaped, slim in front and wide
behind, with large body, which is nee
essary TO the consumption, assimila-
ton and manufacturing into milk of n
large quantity of food.
The perfect udder, in size and form
with the teats to match, and large alb
dominal proportions, are almost GER
tain indications of good dairy qualities.
A slim neck is also supposed to be al
most an infallible sign of good dairy
COW.
A beefy-loolling cow rarely proves a
good dairy animal. There is too strong
tendency to convert the food into
meat rather than into milk.
OF course it will occasionally happen
that looks are deceptive, so that the
best test is the milk pail and the churn.

Just as 1 reached the crest of the

and wife sitting on log at the door.
The woman had her jaws tied up and
there was wild look in her eyes, and
after passing the time of day naturally
inquired what was wrong with her.
''Toothache, sab" replied the hus-
band. "She's had 1t nigh upon week,
but she's been desperit to-day. Wewas

"Can't it be cured?"
Reckon not, sab. Best way is to pull

"Pll help, of course, but 1 never pulled
q tooth for anyone in my life"
''That's all right. She'll lay down
yere on her back and I'll hold her down
while yo' pull. I've tried it twice over,
but she gifts away from me-"
"Are you willing, ma'am?' I asked
OF the woman.
"Pm willin', of co'se," she replied, as
she removed the bandage from her Jaw.
''This is the tooth right yere."

"Waal, now, don't make no mistake.

as hesitated. "She's got to that pass
whar she'll shoot if yo' don't. Clap on

1t was a solid double tooth, standing
alone, and got firm hold, braced
my feet, and, with twist and a pull,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
WALpENsIAN FARMERS.

Quite . Colony OF Them Is Located In
Burke County, N. c.
In the summer of 1893 some 20 fam
lilies came over from sunny Italy and
settled in the western part of North
Carolina. They were the advance guard
of the colony which to-day numbers
about 200 peesons,
There would be little to attract at
tention to this settlement if it were
not the only one of the kind in America.
The colonists are Waldenses; that is to
say, they are descendants of re-
igious sect that was driven by perse-
cution into the Piedmont mountains of
northern Italy. Here they were safe
and secluded, and here they were free
10 follow their peculiar forms of wor-
ship. In their mountain retreat at home
the Waldensians have followed the or
binary pursuits of agriculture. Living
by themselves and shut off from the
outside world, these people were con
tent to farm after the fashion of their
forefathers. The result was, their
methods of farming were rather rude
and primitive. la.0s
When the Waldensians came to this
country they brought with them their
old-fashioned ideas and methods. Many
of the colonists had never seen a pillow
or a mower and reaper until they ar
rived in North Carolina. Of course,
our modern methods of intensive farm
ing and rotation of crops were beyond
their knowledge. The colony is located
in Burke county, N. c., about eight
miles from Morgantown, the county
seat. The village is called Valdese,
and is laid out into streets and building
lots. The first thing the colonists did
was to build church and schoolhouse.
Recently they have showed consider
able enterprise in starting a hosiery
mill, in which most of the young people
are employed. The property of the col
onists consists of several thousand
acres. This has been divided into small
farms, each family receiving from so to
60 acres. At the same time each house
holder is obliged to assume his shar,
of the debt which the colony still owes.
