FOR THE FARMER,



and every few days thereafter
throughout the season.
In large dairy in New York,
one man does nothing but keep the
stable clean. The droppings are
not allowed to remain five minutes
When hogs die from cholera the
safest plan is to burn rather than
bury the carcass and all that has
been in contact with it. Fire is a
certain purifier.
All young animals quickly learn
to eat ground oats, and there is no
ground grain better for them, They
grow and thrive upon oats, even
when drawing milk from the dams
If you have neglected to make ar
engagements for hotbed, better
haul out a good load Of manure
where it is to be built, and sprinkle
ever the ground that the hotbed is
to occupy.
Animals Of vicious habits should
never be used for breeding purposes,
as vices are transmitted. BY care.
full breeding in this respect the dis
position of the animals can be par
TALLY controlled.
Calls are rarely seen on the
horses shoulders bathed night and
morning with strong salt water,
beginning month before the Spring
blowing. In warm weather use
sweat pads under the collars.
Take little more pains with the
garden this year than ever before
and learn to know what real lux
ury good garden planted with a
large variety of vegetables is. Too
many farmers do not know this.
Chickens, like sheep, can not be
crowded together in large flocks
without breeding disease. Keep
them awake and the blood stirring
by making them hunt for their food,
even if it must be scattered among
the litter
Fifty bushels of sunflower seeds
to the acre is fair yield, and this
will produce fifty gallons of oil,
worth 81 gallon. When mixed
with other grains they are relished
by all farm animals, and are espec-
tally good for fowls.
A Southern farmer says that good
results are obtained by feeding Rus
sian sunflower seeds 10 horses, hogs
and osh,r stock. The feeding Of
this requires an exercise of judg-
ment, ~ the seeds are very rich,
and should be mixed or combined
with bran.
More than half the yield of any
thing you cultivate depends upon
the effort you put forth to make it
productive. Fertility of soil is the
basis of all real profit, and the farm
er who does not increase the pro-
ductive capacity of his soil is surely
going down hill.
Is there some crop to which the
farmer or farm is we'll adapted, a
crop which you can grow cheaper
or better, or which you can sell to
better advantage than your neigh
bors can? If there is such a crop
it is your best hold. Stick to it
through thick and thin.
Keep the droppings under the
roosts well cleaned up. There is
no better way of caring for them
than to mix them, either on the
floor or in the barrels after taking
up, with an equal quantity of dry
sand or road dust. They thus be-
come most valuable fertilizer.
The actual worth of potatoes az a
stock food is greater than any an
alysis will show, because of the value

FEMININE FASHIONS.

tunes.
Trimmed skirts increase in favor as
the season advances.
Mousseline brilliante is a new gauzy
textile much used by Raudnitz, Beers
and Paquin for draPing evening toilets.
1t has very silky surface, and is re-
markably dainty and beautiful.
Most of the new tucked evening
gowns of gauzy material have rows of
handsome Venetian lace insertion on
bodice and skirt. Other toilets are made
with Gainsborough fichus of tulle or
mousseline de sole crossed over the cor
sage, passed under the arms, and tied at
the back.
Accordion-plaited skirts of black silk
grenadine, canvas tulle, black Swiss
muslin dotted in silk, fancy French and
Russian nets, and similar diaphanous
textiles,ar made up over gored founda-
tions of brilliant Turkish red or golden
yellow satin. Portions of the bodice
and sleeves are likewise plated and
finished with elegant decorations in cut
jet.
Gros de Tours is one of the popular
silks this summer and has soft fin
in quality than taffeta, but less glossy.
1t is used in the pale tints for evening
toilets, and in browns, grays and
greens for church, visiting, etc. Some
of the grounds are striped with satin
in bronze or black, then figured with
small leaves or flowers or quaint old
fashioned figures. These patterns make
charming fancy waists.
For cool and pretty gowns qualities
that in the eyes of the majority nova
days lose nothing by the additional
fact that they are expensive-noth-
ing is better than the sheer delicate all
wool delaines trimmed with ribbon in
any of the thousand and one ways ap-
proved by fashion. No more dainty
gowns could be desired at the seashore
or in the mountains, for while COM
Portable and dressy at the same time,
they resist danpness and wear as no
sort of white or light cotton gown can.
Elderly women can suitably wear
delaines in dark colors for morning
dress. The material is not suitable for
afternoon dress. In lighter combina-
tions of color, however, delaine hand
somely trimmed with lace or ribbon
leaves little to be desired on the score of
smartness.-N. Y. Post. -

German miners superstitious.


Probably the most superstitious class
of men in the world, barring the sailors,
are miners-those who delve in the
bowels of the earth for coal or min
erals. In Germany the mines are be-
lieved to be the abiding places of queer
little old men not over two feet high,
who ape in dress the ordinary miners.
They vary in character; some are good,
some are bad. In Wales the miners are
haunted by goblin miners, known as
knockers. They make strange noises,
and the tapping of their picks can be
heard in ore bodies not yet reached by
the human workmen. The dreaded
Ladder Dwarf is malignant hunch-
back of frightful appearance, who
kicks out the rungs of ladders in mines
ljust before an accident occurs. Super
stition extends even to the vegetables
sometimes found growing in mines,
such growths, having talismanic vir-
tues. In Sardinia an ancient lead mine
has been completely abandoned on ac-
count of a prevailing dread among the
miners ora small and venomous spider
inhabiting it.--Chicago Chronicle.

age area of the Mississippi river Is l.,
R5O,ooO square miles, including nearly
oil of the country from the Alleghenies
TO the Rockies and from Canada to the
Gulf of Mexico. In his communication
to the Engineers club, Mr.. Birkenbine
estimates that one inch of rain falling
evenly over this area would equal 21,-

looked foolish.
Did y sell, Lucky?" Queried THE
Company in a low tone, but which
was heard by every one.
Yep! You bet;" replied Lucky, as he
turned his face skyward for THE Com
pany' to kiss again; 'an'a how did you
make out. Little Womern?"
For reply The Company took from
somewhere a buckskin bag that was
we'll filled, and that emitted a musical
chink as she held it before his eyes.
An now, Little Womern, were
agoin' back, haint we?" said Lucky,
as he placed a hand on either side of
her face and looked into her eyes.
A vigorous nod was her only reply,
and as Lucky made a sweeping gesture
toward the crowd of uncovered men
she noticed them for the first time.
In an instant the color flew into her
face and her eyes blazed like Goals.
Regardless of her sharp features and
rusty hair she stood a queen among
them. With one arm thrown around
her husbands neck she waved them
hack with the other, and without more
ado said:
Jest look at me, men of Paygravel
Gulch! for it'll be Yer last chance. But
I've got somethin' to say t you afore
l leave. You all thought as how
wuzn't true to my Lucky n went off
n and shook him FIR that drunken
good-f'r-nothin' gambler, didn't you?
Well, 1 did go 18th him, and Wen we
got to Sacramento he wuz dead drunk

wat! I'll give 'em t tn bes' husban'
in tn whole world-the huSban' as loves
me- and as l loves, am as Is allus been
true to, as God sees me. Amen!"
A moment later the stage passed
around a turn in the road and more
than one man heaved sigh as he
caught a. last glimpse of Lucky Smith,
around whose form was thrown the
protecting arm of The Company of
Paygravel Gulch.
