Never was ribbon so much used for
trimming on wool or winter gowns as it
is his season. It is universally used in
loops and ends, knots, folds and r~osettes
to embeIish both skirt and waist. The
effect is further enhanced in many in
stances by using small buckles to hold
the ribbon in place.

Shoemakers are now frequently called
upon to fasten two little strips of rubber
across the sole of babies. shoes at the
ball of the foot. This is done to obviate
the constant tendency to slip back that
attends the babies initial efforts at learn
ing to walk. Every one who has noticed
a baby taking it's first cratic steps from
chair to chair, slipping back till the little
soles are wcrn almost as smooth as glass,
and has felt his own ankles ache with
sympathy at the strain. will count this
idea worthy general adoption.

Chocolate stains on fine napery are, it
should be remembered, as needful Of
prompt attention as are wine tains Cold
water should be first poured over them,
then with the cloth stretched across a

with boiling water fresh from the tea
kettle. The important point in treating
any stain upon linen is prornptness.

HIRED HELP.

Were a farmer and obliged to hire
help, I would try to get good man if
I had to pay the highest wages. One
Of the greatest difficulties a farmer has
to face is depending on laborers none
to intelligent. If one could be with
their hired men all the time, to direct
them in the details of their work, all
might be well. But we find that farm
laborers Of good judgment, and a will
ingness to do what they are paid for
doing, are extremely scarce. We do
not want mere machines, but men with
some degree of reasoning power. In
telligent people take an interest in their
work, and it is done with a pleasure
satisfaction rather than in a slack and
probably half hearted manner. When
such help could be found would secure
it at once, nor hesitate to pay the high
est wages when ordinary farm labor
ers could be hired quite cheaply.-Mrs.
F. E. Drury, Norland, Me, Grange.

THE COTTON CROP OF 1896.

The statements furnished the Depart
ment OF Agriculture by all the railway
and water transportation companies
show that from September 1, 1896, to
February 1, 1897, the total actual move
ment Of cotton from the States of pro
ductjon to ports, Northern and West
ern mills, Canada, Mexico, and all
other destinations, amounted to 6, ,517,-
126 commercial bales. Reports from
the officials OF all but five of the South
ern mills show actual pU3 chages taken
from the current crop Of $50, ia bales.
The five mills not heard from purchased
during the same period last year 2, Alb
bales. The Departments township
and precinct agents show that on Feb
ruary 1, 1897, there remained on plan,
tations 1852. 1858 bales; in warehouses,
598 727; at public gins, 16L 500; at COM
presses, 241, 344; ard at depots and
yards, 130, 421, making the total amount
held on plantations and in interior
towns, not including any cotton held
at ports, 1, 494, 329 bales.

HAVE SECOND CROPS.

Plan out second crops whenever pos
sible. Early potatoes and peas may be
followed by cucumbers, equashes or
pumpkins. Tomatoes planted between
rows of early corn will do we'll after
the corn has been cut. Cabbages will
do we'll after very early crops On rich
land. Such crops as cslery, spinach
or turnips may be grown second after
almost any crop. Fodder corn makes
a good second crop on land made rich,
but not otherwise. Hungarian or bar
ley are frequently planted second.
Crimson clover is a good second crop
soil enricher, but too tender to be relia-
BILE for fodder.

A NEW CELERY CULTURE.

Mr.. A. W. Marshall, of Metuchen,
N. J., describes, in Ohio Horticulture,
his present method of growing celery.
At the proper time, he sets three rows,
45 feet long of White Plume, Pink
Plume and Giant Pascal; the rows ten
inches apart and the plants six inches
apart in row. The ground is rich, and
at frequent intervals is literally watered
with liquid manure. The plants grow
wonderfully and are always in good
health. Foot wide boards are placed
close to the outside rows, and as cold
weather comes on, the celery is covered
with hay and leaves, increasing the
quantity as the cold strengthens. When
wanted, the celery is pulled with little
trouble. II never saw cleaner celery
white and crisp as one could desire.
No more old process celery culture for

SPRAYING CHERRY TREES.

A subscriber asks for "a reliable re-
ceipt for spraying cherry trees" with
out stating for what purpose be wishes
to spray.
II the wish is to spray for leaf spot,
use the Bordeaux mixture of copper
sulphate, four pounds; quicklime (not
air Stacked, four pounds, and water to
make fifty gallons. Spray when the
leaves are unfolding; again two weeks
later, and, if necessary, two or three
weeks after the second spraying.
If for the aphis, use the kerosene
emulsion on the first appearance of the
aphis; and great care must be used, or
you will not be able to reach the aphis.
If for the slug, add either Paris green
or London purple to the Bordeaux mix.
ture at the rate of one pound to 175 or
200 gallons. Spray as soon as the slug
appears, and repeat if the slug remains.
If spraying for the curculio, use the
Bordeaux mixture, with the Paris green
and London purple, before blossoming,
if possible, and again after the bios
SONS dry up; but in the second case
use the Bordeaux only half as strong,
that is, 5wo pounds each of copper sui
phate and quicklime to fifty gallons Of
water.
If for the San Jose scale, use the
whale oil soap solution in the fell, after
the leaves drop.-Western Rural.

MARKETING SMALL FRUITS.

That fruit may reach the customer
as fresh and attractive as possible,
is the desire of all progressive growers.
It is impossible to cart it any distance
in the sun and have it presentable
when delivered. A covering of some
kind is necessary, but great care must
be taken in selecting material for this
purpose. Blankets or black rubber
cloth are Objectionable. l used to use
a marble oilcloth, raised little above
the fruits, so as to permit circulation
of air, but found that this was not
just the right thing, for even when
making my rounds the last of the fruit
would be in bad condition. decided
therefore to build top for my wagon
which would exclude the sun and dust
and yet allow the air to circulate
freely.
I examined several fruit wagon COW
ers but found none that suited me, 80 I
constructed one myself. Shelves are
made of white wood stats inch thick
and 24 inches wide. They rest upon
rods which have thumb burrs at each
end and permit of a change in position.
when the top is used for purposes other
than carrying fruit. For covering
selected the best duck could find,
cut to fit the frame and stitched it to.
gether upon sewing machine. TWAS
then ready for fastening with finishing
tacks. The front end is open so that
air may circulate freely. On the out
side the word strawberry is printed on
a separate strip of cloth, which is NOV
able, 80 that the proper word may be-
substituted when other fruits are being
sold. 1 now deliver fruit as fresh in
appearance as when picked, and when
I drive ten miles to one of my markets
the fruit does not look much the "Worge
for wear. "-B. A. Wood, Michigan, In

AGRICULTURE.

When walking about the farm keep
your eyes wide open. An occasional
tour OF observation is by no means
time wasted.
The country is swarming with wi1c-
lers trying to get farmers to sign varl-
Gus papers which later on turn out to
be prOmissory notes.
Keep your money busy. Grow quick
crops and second crops. Sell them
promptly and get the cash at work pro
viding for new crops.
Farmers do not make direct use of
the experiment stations SO much as
they might. Soil. cattle food, fertilizers
and manures are analyzad free OF
charge.
Ill success follows poor work, and
both are discouraging. Beginning IN
season and not attempting too much,
insures best results under the circum,
stances.
Farming is becoming a business OF
very close margins. The profit comes
more and more from shrewd buying
and less from selling lucky crops or
specialties.
All seeds should be lightly covered
when planted early in the season, as
they are liable to rot before germinat
ing. Later, when the ground gets
warm, plant everything deep,
Seeds are so cheap of late years that
1t hardly pays to grow any of them for
the farm garden OF ordinary size, Seed
growing is a business by itself, and
even the market gardeners who use
very large quantities, buy a great dea
OF It from the seedsmen.
The average yield of milk per COW
Ior all the COWS in the country in 1885,
was 700 quarts a year. In 1890 the
average was 100 quarts per COW for {
year. This increase has been accomp
ilshed by the greater use of improved
breeds, and is equivalent to nearly
doubling the number Of COWS by esti
mating from the amount of milk de
rived in 1890.
