Cooking In Public Schools.

have taken sides against plain sewing,
practical homework and an understand

public schools has gained great popular

making bread and cake the girl pupils
have the excitement of a contest. Judges

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Sheep and lambS-There was q very
evident decline in the stock this week,
not SO much in price as in the amount on
the market As a general thing the
prices remained the same as last week
and the change, if any, was very slight.
The supply of sheep and lambs fell far
short of the usual consignment, the fall
being in the Western arrivals, which
were nearly 1000 head below that of last
week. What were on hand met the de-
mand fairly we'll and they were sold at
the prices obtained last week, 312 @51ac.
Northern and Eastern beef cattle-But
few head came under these arrivals the
amount hardly being worth the quota
ton. They were sold as they arrived at
the same prices as were Obtai- ed last
week. The sales were few and small in
amount.
Western cattIe-The entire consign-
ment, which was an unusually large one
was sent to the export trade and the
home market was not included in any OF
the stock. None were consigned TIC
home slaughterers.
Calves-The supply fell off considerable
this week, the arrivals being several
head lower than last week. The same
prices prevailed and the stock was
quickly disposed of. Prices ranged from
3@515c.

A gentleman who has recently
travelled over the Dakotas and Min
nesota and in all the western states,
says that not for ten years has there
been sold as many acres of farming
land as during the last three months.
All seem to see that the better times
are coming. Good crops means good
times for the farmer who sells his
produce,i for the railroads which
transport them and for labor in every
department: E With big harvest and
the wheels OF threshing machines,
railroad trains and mills busily turn
ing, the skies will be bright with
prosperity.

There have been numerous expert

There have been numerous expert
ments that go to show the great ad-
vantage of feeding meal with the
milk to growing or fattening pigs,
over feeding the milk alone. With
the facts thus obtained it is plain to
be seen that it is for the farmers in
terest to feed the meal and especially
at present prices. Another thing
that renders this method of feeding
necessary and profitable is the pres
ent demand for fattened pigs of six to
eight months old. To secure these at
this age requires extra feeding and
care, but rightly managed it should
pay.

The Massachusetts legislature has

hall wear the feathers of birds for

Dllars, and half the fine shall so to

apprehension and conviction is great.
HE Boston Advertiser makes the fol-
living comment:
''The time was when the average
toman who wore in public a hat
timmed with glorious plumage,
blight count upon the envy of her less
|rilliantly bedecked sisters, but now
Ihch a hat is its own accuser and
edge, and any woman who feels en-

hereof summoned to court"
It is fitting that the old Bay state
hould lead off in reinforcing the

be power of the law, and we hope
hat every state in the Union will

Measuring q Room For Wall Paper.

The following rules obtained from
wall paper manufacturer and published
in The Ladies' Home Journal are sea-
sonabIe: Measure every side of the room
and add the number of feet together.
Multiply the sum obtained by the height
of the room in feet. To allow for doors
and windows multiply the height of
each by the width. Add all together and
deduct from amount. Then divide by
Sc. The result is the number of single
pieces required for side walls. Some al
lowance should be made for matching
and waste. To measure ceiling, null
tiply the length of your room i'll feet by
the width in feet, then divide the result
by Sc. The number Of yards Of border
required is the number of feet around
the room divided by 3. Again, all wall
papers come in double rolls or pieces,
and all prices quoted are for single rolls
Or pieces. A single piece Of paper con-
tains yards Is inches wide. A double
roll or piece contains Is yards 8 inches
wide. Wall papers are put up in double
rolls for convenience in shipping and
saving waste when hanging. Order Dor
ders by the yard. The wider the border
selected, the prettier the effect.

It is not alone because of injury to
scythes, mowers and other nipple
ments that the haymaker wants as
smooth surface as he can get. It is
necessary to have stones and other
inequalities removed if he would be
able to cut as closely as he should.
The new growth, especially of clover,
starts quicker and grows more vigor-
ously if cut close. Besides, much of
the weight Of both clover and grass is
lost if either are cut high. So there is
loss by high cutting in the first crop,
well as in aftermath.

OUR FARMERS.
CURING HAY.

w. F. Massey writes to the >Prdcti-
think that any one who has much
clover Or pea hay to make can afford
| to do without the tedder.i In very hot
| weather, and with a quick drying
grass like red top, [ have stacked hay
the same day it was cut. With clover
or pea vines [ can always house the
second afternoon, but the pea vines
are all the better to remain in the
cock another twenty four hours.
When compelled to leave clover in
the field after the second day, I al
ways placed the hay caps over it.
And I do not want any tight water
proof hay caps, but simply stout cot
ton goods that will dry quickly, and
let the steam from the cocks pass off.
The pressed waterproof paper hay
caps are simply nuisance, doing
more harm than good. Get the hay
into the barn as soon as a hard wiring
of a bunch will draw no sap to the
twist. Pack it in closely, and keep
the barn tightly closed. Air carries
with it the germs sof mould, and the
heating drives out the air in the mass
below by the superior weight of the
carbonic acid evolved. Keep the air
from the heating hay, and it will be
all right. Let the air in, and you in
troduce the mold germs.
The growing of berry calls into
action some of the most wonderful
laws of nature. In the growth of
plants we find these laws in perfec-
ton. We also find in various forms a
complete supply of every element re-
quired for the full development of
both plant and fruit Nature gives
us all these products without stint.

That the plants be of good quality

plants be protected from winter frosts
and summer drought. That no insect
