Novel Design in Bedsteads.

Twin beds are the latest thing for the
sleeping-room. The frames are made:
exactly alike, and when pushed to-
gether look like an ordinary double bed.
Whenever desired, however, they can
be separated. The handsomest bed
steads in The world. it is said, are made
in America, and the work of carving,
painting and inlaying keeps many men
constantly employed. One of the most
magnificent bedsteads to be seen is of
Louis Nv. design, made of enameled
cherry. The panel at the head of the
bed has design of cupids, in which
pink is the predominating color, and
the panel at the foot has a scene show
ing Venus and Vulcan. The headboard,
below the panel, is upholstered with
Pink damask brocade. Such bedstead
is valued at $4,000. The bedsteads are

danger from frost is past.
1t is made of one-and-one-eighth-
inch boards, pine being preferable as
this is not so liable to warp out of shape,
mitered at the corners, and about six
inches narrower than the bay window
is wide. This gives three inches play On
each side, which is necessary to keep
it from binding when being moved.
The posts, or legs, are of one-and-one-
half-inch plank, and can be carved to
suit the builders fancy; they are
simply nailed to the top and braced in
some way to give sufficient support.
The braces OF the stand illustrated arc
made of the same material as the top,
cut similar to shelf-bracket, and
nailed in the corners. To give the cor
ner-joints of the top additional
strength, the posts are nailed right
under and in the same direction of the
joints, and the braces run at right
angles to the same, reaching nearly
clear across the top on each side Cast

Coal oil applied to the roosts will kill
all kinds of parasites.
Hens often fail to lay in winter be-
cause they are too fat.
Hens that are laying regularly should
lave little extra food.
Provide the laying hens with plenty
of shell-producing material.
Tobacco stems put in with the straw
in the nests will prevent lice.
Early Matched chickens should not
get chilled this month, or brood dis

The principal object to be secured in
raising early lambs for market is to
mature fine animal of good size and
condition as early as possible. Earli-
ness and good weight are the two prin-
cipal items to be secured, and care
should be taken to secure these as rapid
~ and as economically as possible.
One important item is to give the
lambs an early start. The first few days
is the most important time, and if by
neglect it is stunted at this time, no
after trea tment will entirely overcome
the effects. 1t should be kept warm and
dry, and the dam should be fed and
cared for in a way that will best enable
Eer to supply plenty of good milk.
When the ewes are fed literally with
ground feed and the troughs are Of SUI
ticient length to admit of the lambs eat
ing by the side Of their dams, the lambs
will learn to eat when very young.
Whenever they have learned to eat
fairly well, q separate place should be
provided for them, where they can be

in and out at will. They should be fed
in this pen at least twice day. Wheat

with corn meal. makes a good co:nbina-
ton
While it is an item to feed literally
it can hardly be said to be good plan
to keep feed before them all the time.
The quicker they can be taught to
eat and the better they are fed the bet
ter growth it will be possible to secure,
and the less drain it will be upon the
ewes.
BY feeding the ewes literally so that
they can supply plenty of milk, and
feeding the lambs literally. a quick
growth can be readily maintained, and
usually the earlier they are ready fol-
market and the better their condition
the higher price it is possible to obtain

Intensive soil culture has become the
rule in some sections of the west. One
man cannot irrigate and cultivate more
than 25-acre tract. This area must be
carefully handled to make a good in
come. yet many farmers are learning
that there is more on 20 acres than for

acre farm is destined to be the future
home of independence. Men who at

4 20-acre farm might be divided into
seven very convenient lots. The house
and lawn should occupy one acre, and
be inclosed by a neat picket or wire
fence. One acre should be fenced sepa-
rate and kept for garden. The barn
yard and corral need occupy but one
acre. An orchard Of five acres, with a
small corner cut out for a poultry
house, would be sufficient. Three acres
sown to grass to be cut each season for

They Should He Well Mated as Re-
CARDS Strength and Gait.
An important item IN getting the most
work out OF the teams is to have them
mated properly. While it is very nice
to have a team Of the same color, size
and marking, it is common sense and
as regards strength, gait and powers of
endurance. \ weak horse should not be
expected to pull as large load as
strong one. neither should small horse
be compelled TO work by the side Of a
large strong one, or be expected to do
as much. \ young, growing horse
should not be expected to work as hard
or as long, OR to do as much heavy work,
as one that is we'll lnatured and deveI-
oped.
A high spirited, quick-motioned horse
should not be compelled to work by the
side of slow, lazy animal. To make
the most out of them mate the horses,
or rather the teams, with a view to
equality of gait, strength and endur-
2nce. See that they are in good thrifty
condition. Feed with a muscle produc-
ing rather than fat forming ration.
Horses that have been idle during the
winter, or for any length of time,
should be put to work gradually. Be-
gin by moderate exercise and increase
as they become accustomed to it. This
is especially the case with a young
horse. Many young horse is seriously.

WOMAN AND HOME.
REMEDY FOR GROUP.

T.rst OF All, Place the Sufferer in an
Upright Position.
This is a disease of childhood. al
though we sometimes meet attacks il
grown-up people.
There are two forms of this trouble
the menbraneous Group and the spas
modic Group.
The membraneous Group is a very
fatal disease, causing many deaths. In
some ways it resembles diphtheria, and,
like this disease, it requires the best
medical skill.
The spasmodic or common form of
Group may be treated intelligently at
home, unless the attack lasts too long
or occurs too frequently. when a physi-
clan should be consulted.
In this form of Group there is swell
ing and Inflammation of the CLOTHS.
which is that part of the throat where
the voice is produced by the air passi,: q
through the vocal cords, or another
form may be the result of a nervous
contraction of the muscles of the throat.
1t usually occurs at night. The child
swakens out of a sound sleep gasping
and choking, and the difficulty of
breathing is often distressing to wit
ness. The mother or nurse must retain
her presence of mind, and while acting
promptly will try and quiet the child S
fears.
Keep the child in an upright or sit
ting posture, and loosen all bands
around the throat or body; put a cold
compress around the throat-the colder
the better, as it will the more readily
break the spasm of the CLOTHS muscles:
| never mind if the child screams; pin it
snugly on. and over it put dry towc!
after short time you will see the
breathing gradually become easier, the
struggles cease. the face become more
natural color, and the child, being some
| what exhausted from its fight for
breath, Will gradually drop into gentle
| sleep. Giving the child anything &c
swallow during the spasm will only
! make matters worse. as it will Interfere
with the breathing and brighten the
| child more. Children that are predls.
! posed to this trouble should be laugh:
to breathe through the nose, if they are
ole enough. They should be warmly
clothed during cold weather. wearing
flannel understanding. Their genera
health should be built up by giving
them nourishing food, plenty of mill
and by daily baths of tepid water, il
which sea salt has been dissolved
enough to make the water taste strong
~ of it. A spoonful of cod liver
oil may be given three times a day
The child should also have all the sun
shine and fresh air it can get withou;
taking cold.
The cough syrups usually put up are
Of little use and will often nauseate.

good nursing the child outgrows the

PLAT OF 2O-ACRE FARM.

~ should be a meadow for pasture. The
remaining six acres will make enough
&C field for the cultivation of corn.
wheat, potatoes and root crops.
The products of six acres under cult
vatlon in the west where irriga ton is
practiced may safely be estimated as
follows: Two acres Of wheat, 100 BUSH
els; one acre of corn, so bushels; one
acre of oats, 20 bushels: one-half acre
Of potatoes. $50 bushels; one-quarter
acre of beans, Is bushels: one-quarter
acre of onions. 100 bushels; one-quarter
acre of barley. 90 bushels; one acre car
rots, turni ps and ruta bagas, 1000 BUSH
els. These figures are not an average in
Utah, where small farming is practiced.
The yields are reported almost double
the figures given. in some instances.
OF this siS-acre yield there would be q
surplus of each product to sell.
Three acres in alfalfa will yield two
crops of hay and one of seed. The hay
will average two tons an acre each cut
ting, making - tons of hay. \ three
acre alfalfa pasture will keep two cows,
two horses, 20 sheep, 20 hogs, with sew
eral calves. The pasture and hay field
should be rotated each year. After d
few years a part of the cultivated area
should be planted TO alfalfa, and one of
the grass plots plowed. Fences could be
made of woven wire, and be easily re-
moved from one tract to another.
The fve-acre orchard should have one
acre devoted to strawberries. raspbcr-
ries. blackbcrries, gooseberries and cur
rants. \ half acre should be planted to
about four varieties of grapes. The ball
ance of the orchard area should contain
choice trees OF various fruits. with the
outer rows composed of nut-bearing
trees. These serve as protection
against wind and storm. and are as val
liable as the fruit trees. The yield upon
these several tracts cannot be esti-
mated, as so much depends upon proper
culture and the market.
Experienced farmers in Utah who
practice intensive cultivation give the
following figures on yields to the acre:
awberries, 5000 to $1,000; small
fruits, $500 to $500; apples, 400 to 500
bushels. The stone fruits produce in
proportion to other varieties. One mar
with three acres of grapes reports an
average yield of $3.50 an acre every year.
The grapes are sold green, made into
wine and raisins. Peaches are sold as
green fruit and evaporated.
The 2O-acre farmer can pay all his
expenses, ride in nice carriages, wear
good clothes, support and educate his
family, and save from $500 to $1,000 q
year for the time of need. This cannot
be accomplished by wild speculation.
1t requires a careful attention to the
details of the little firm. No hard,
shaving physical labor is required. Why
should men toll and worry over their
thousands of acres and come out be-
hind at the end of the year when the
new agriculture shows them how to live
happy and contented on 2O-acre farm?
