SUBSTITUTE FOR OATS.

The past season has been poor one
for the production of a crop Of good
oats, says A. A. Berry, of Iowa. Rust
caused great loss, especially ON rich
corn lands Where the ground is kept
very fertile by clover rotation, there
is often a failure in oats. Iowa farm
ers have found that it pays to keep it
in this condition, although they know
full well the great value of oats as a
feed for horses and all young stock.
If possible, select a variety that can be
grown on rich land and is but slightly
affected by rust,
Barley is good substitute. Its
feeding qualities are much superior to
oats for horses and young stock. On
an average, it will yield a greater num-

land without danger of lodging and is
better than oats as a nurse crop in

it also makes an excellent nurse crop

THE NEWEST COIFFURE.

Nothing short of revolution ID
promised in the coiffures of the COM
ing season. The most fashionable
methods of arranging the hair are as
far removed from the familiar and once
idolized type Of the Gibson girl as from
the more elaborate cciffures of the
days Of pomades and mountains of
false hair. Simplicity is the keynote
of the new fashions, but it is to be a
loose and fluffy rather than plastered
simplicity A careful study of the lead
ing style of coiffures has resulted in
the illustration on this page.
One CT the chief beauties of this new
fashion is that it does not require an
unreasonable amount of hair. No
young woman need sigh because her
hair does not reach to her knees or
fall about her face in clustering curls.
Neither is necessary. Assuming that
she has a moderate amount of we'll
caredfor hair she should comb it back
loosely from her forehead SO as to give
the effect of unstudied simplicity,
bring it up in the same manner from
the neck behind, and gather it all in
loose group of puffs at the very crown
of the head.
These putfs should stand out from the
head as far as possible, and should be
kept in place by some sort of orna-
mental comb. For most faces this is
an exceedingly pretty and becoming
style of arranging the hair.
1t may interest those who are gifted
in the art of changing the color of their
hair according to the prevailing mode,
to know that peroxide hues are en-
tirely out of date, and that the chest
nut hair which was but a little time
ago so popular has been entirely super
seeded. Black hair is the color of the
present season. New York World.

RAISING CALVES.

Mrs Jennie Snyder, butter maker for
Mrs. Tremain at Hill View Farm. Lake
George, writes in the Jersey Bulletin:
Mrs. Tremain wishes me to inform you
Of her method of rearing calves up to
twelve months. At birth the calf is
taken from the COW; she seldom sees
it. The calf is at once rubbed perfectly
dry, and in winter it is wrapped in
clean blankets with warm bricks or
water bags put around it. We find
that care of the calf from the first mo-
ment is of the greatest importance.
After four or six hours we feed the
calf the dams milk-from two to four
quarts, depending upon the condition
of the calf and how well it drinks. We
never have any trouble in teaching the
youngsters to drink, because our motto
is patience and kindness. The calf is
fed six times daily during the first
week from eight to twelve quarts
day. according to its capacity.
About the eighth day they are fed
four times, and this is continued. still

Meat Fed Horses.

"Of all fads that fashionable people
indulge in over their pets, think the
strangest idea is that of giving their
horses meat as a variation to their
ordinary diet" said a veterinary sur
geon in London Answers.
Beef only is used. 1t is baked until
quite dry and hard, then minced very
fine, and given mixed with oats or
meal The animals, 50 far from refus-
ing, seem to relish the mixture, and it
is thought to improve their condition
and courage. but if continued too long
they become vicious and their coats
deteriorate.

Americans. The Finnish woman en-
joys the elective franchise in local ano

women are now employed in post Of

More than 900 women are engaged

DRAINING swAMPs AND sWALEs.

A. S. c., of Belknap County, ~ H.,

A. Tomkins, In draining my farm l

at draining. I followed this plan few
