To Discuss a Police Court.

BERKELEY, Nov 13-The Board of Trustees is to meet tomorrow night in the Town Hall, and among. other things will discuss the matter of a Berkeley Police Court Town Attorney Hayne at tributes the failure of the last charter amendment, providing for such a court, the fact that the amendment pro- vided for the judge to hold office by ap- pointment from the Board of Trustees. He thinks that a similar measure, chang ing the method of appointment to that of election by the people, would meet with the hearty approval of all the voters. and so will recommend another special cleo ton upon an amendment to the city's 8 charter embodying that special alteration.

An Example Worth Following.

More than year ago farmers club
in Illinois subscribed to pledge to
put nothing on their tables which was
of adherence to this policy was that at
the end of a year the members, almost
without exception, had increased their
bank accounts. One large wheat
grower reported that the obligation
required him to abandon his previous
method of farming, and that his cash
receipts were $500 less than during the
previous year, but his net profits were
sa69 greater. The farm ought to be,
first of all, self-sustaining. The ideal
farm home is one which is abso-
lutely independent, as far as sub.
sistence is concerned, of all the outside
world. 1t is the great beauty OF farm
life-where farming is followed as it
ought to be-that the farmer is the
arbiter of his own fortune; that his
farm is nation in miniatures; one in
dependent entirely, in which each
member of the family has properly up
pointed functions To perform, and
wherein every dollars worth OF pro-
duce sold is that much "balance OF
trade" in favor of the farm. The
proper function of the farm is to pro-
duce its own revenue of subsistence,
and afterward to supply, for valua-
BILE consideration the needs of non
producers; and all purchases should be
such as add to the material and mem
tai resources Of the farm home.-Farm

LORRAINE RIBBON WORK.


Fancy for This Sort OF Thing 10 on
the Increase.
Though the ribbon work known ms
Lorraine work" has been in fashion
for some time the craze for it seems to
be on the increase. 1t is now used for
gowns as well as for small fancy arti-
cles, as sachets, note books, cushions or
screens. One of Chicago's leading
drcssmakers has prepared white satin
skirt embroidered up each seam with
suitable design, which is to be worn at
ball near at hand. The effect OF the
embroidery is much improved by the
addition of spangles and sequins. The
bodice is embroidered to correspond.
Such work must be done most care
fully, or the beauty of the whole dress
would be spoiled. The method of work
ing is really very simple, as each petal
and leaf is formed by the ribbon, which
is threaded into the needle and passed
through the material and only occa-
sionally a stitch or two needs to be
added in fine sewing silk. Small French
knots are introduced as centers to
small flowers, and raised flowers are
worked by just gathering small por-
ton of the ribbon into shape before
placing it where required.
Dinner table centers and doyl:es
worked to match are the smartest an6
newest idea. and just at this season
decorative needlework comes in most
OPPORTUNITY. En- PEASANT, 1t may be
suggested that on n large table broad
ribbons can be most effectively intro
duced, and these must be arranged ac-
cording to Individual taste. and also
with regard to the silver or other orna-
ments in hand for decoration. Much
depends upon the arrangements for
lighting, whether candles, lamps, or
electric light be used. Two broad rib
bons twisting in and out of the base of
lamps, fiowerpots or dessert dishes are
most effective in two colors. Starting
from the center and ending in bows
at each corner, this is much admired,
and if candles are used or shaded lamps
their shades should match the ribbon.

-Parched corn Is an excellent food
for la ying hens, and good plan is to
feed it to them twice or three times a
week.
How about the farmer who goes to
town to buy eggs to make New Years
cake? Is he not joke on himself?
Farming for profit does not amount
to much when all the profit must go to
pay for articles which other farmers
produce.
Feeders who have a lot of coarse
and bad-havored hay should mix it
with that OF better quality. using one
third of the poorer hay with two-thiris
of timothy and clover.
1t is useless to try TO sconomize by
undertaking. The way - save feed
is to provide good shelter for all kinds
of stock. The warm side of u straw

FARMER AND PLANTER.
The HOG PASTURE.


A Good Clover Pasture Indispensable In
Raising Cheap aud Healthy swine.
The number of hogs that can be kept
OF an acre of clover depends good
deal upon the size and age of the hog,
as well as the size of the clover plant
when pasturing is begun. My practice
is to allow clover to begin to head be-
fore turning hogs upon it. and then
pasture just enough to keep down the
clover SO that it can be turned under
for wheat. If you want to begin pas
turing early in the spring and keep
your clover grazed down close and do
not give any grain feed, five or six
good sized hogs or twice as many shoats
will do very well on an acre. If you
wait until clover begins to bloom it
will feed two or three times as many
pigs.
think good clover pasture is in
dispe lsable in raising cheap ana
healthy swine, but l always give some
grain to my hogs all the time they are
in pasture, as the clover will go twice
as far or twice as many hogs can be
kept per acre. The hog. in his normal
condition, is grass-eating animal, and
to keep him through the summer sea-
SON wholly upon the more concentrat-
ed and heating foods is as unnatural
as it would be to keep the cows in the
same manner. While upon pasture
hogs will tramp down and root up
more clover than they will eat, and for
this reason would never begin pas
turing in spring till the clover has
made a good start.
Various estimates have been pre-
pared by scientific men to show the
amount of nutritive material an acre
of land will produce in cereals and
grass. and a fair average is given in
| the following table:

house Jackets have been devised. and
many of them are really success. They
are so comfortable and becoming that
one becomes attached to them.
Perhaps the most comfortable. and
vet the dressiest of all of them, was
made upon a French pattern. 1t was cut
exactly like the box coats that are so
popular in the street. and its material
was a cotton ottoman cloth of dull
green without particle of gloss on its
surface. Ottoman cloth is, like otto
man, heavily ribbed. The sleeves were
very full and extremely long, so that
they could be dropped down over the
hands or slipped up to the elbows.
The front of the jacket and the sleeves
were trimmed with guipure. The only
other trimming was row OF frogs in
red and gold cotton. A dull gold
clasp fastened the throat. and at the
back Of the neck was gold and red
striped ribbon. This jacket could be
slipped on in minute; ard it was
pretty enough to do honor to almost
any house occasion

yivc. Of Tarrntinc Indians Organize
the Wa-ha- nn-ki.
Wa-ba-na-ki is the name of wom-
ans club in Maine. All the members
CT this organization are squaws ana
belong to the Tarratine tribe. the REM
nant of which lives on Indian island,
in the Penobscot river, opposite Ban
ror. The members are nearly oil pure
Indians, but not the kind of greasy
cid women, with red shawls over their
stout shoulders. and odors more numer-
Gus than pleasant emanating from their
bodies. a picture of the Tarratine type
hangs in the reception room OF the Tar
ratine club in Bangor, and is dedicated
TO the red and unwrinkled dame who
posed for it-Molly Molasses-who died
at the modest age of $50 years. accord
ing 10 the tradition on Indian island.
There are other squaws as dark OF
skin, eyes and hair, but graceful, SELF
possessed, agile in movement, fluent IN
speech. and who speak pure English.
Prominent among this class is Mrs.
Martha Nicolar, of Old Town or, more
properly speaking. Of Indian island.
She is the wife of one of the leading
lnen Of his tribe, Horace Nicolar. and is
the first president of the Wa-ba-na-ki
club, Of which a dozen of her Tarratine
sisters form the membership.
Mrs. Nicolar, the clubs first presi-
dent. is descendant of high Indian
blood. while her husband comes from
equally pure Tarratine stock. The Soc
cabasins came straight down from old
Peter SOCIALISM,, who, at the age OF
JOG, wandered away from the island and
persisted in the great north woods be-
fore lie could be found. 10 Nicolar, an
other father of club women, was the
historian of his tribe. and constant
opponent of marriages between girls
of the tribe and white men. In spite
Of him the young folks have welded
where they would, and some of the
white blood is in the Wa-ba-na-ki club
for its tribe. Its first purpose is the
establishment of an Industrial school
on Indian island. and they will hold a
sale soon in which their own handi-
work will go to swell the fund which is
to be put into the new institution. The
club members have deep appreciation
Of their mission. They are fully awake
to the need of reforms in the social
conditions of their people. Besides set.
ting the club work a-going in the tribe
these women will apply themselves to
the collection of the history of the Tar
ratines.

The Pig In winter.

Pigs require warm housing. Little
pigs should not be allowed to run out
in cold yards, or they will contract colds,
lung disease. both of which are fatal.
though the latter most often causes
death. Their food should
consist largely of wash" into which
barley meal is stirred. A few cooked
potatoes may be mixed with it, and .
little grain may be placed on . board
for them to pick up. A warm bedding
of dry straw should be provided. and
all damp portions should be cleared
out OF the sty, for if the bottom layer
is damp much Of the warmth which
would be derived from the straw will
be lost. The pigs will keep in q much
more healthy state If they are pro-
vided with \ small quantity of green
stuff, such as cabbage. In-pig sows will
generally find considerable quantity
of ''pickings' in the yard where stock is
kept and if allowed o few roots will
thrive with the addition of wash, if it
contains fair quantity Of milk. Ii
they are observed to be getting low in
condition. little corn or meal should
be added, as seems desirable. Sows
with young at foot require more gen.
erous treatment, rs has been previously
explained. At this season fattening
pigs should be closely housed, and ac-
cording to their condition should be
forced 0nstoward the butcher by in
creasing the quantity of food. Wash

food, forms the staple food. In all
cases, as the pigs can not get out to
forage for themselves, small guam
tity of cinder or coal should be at Inland
for them to partake of 4; otherwise, they
will be troubled with digestive diff
ficulties. This is q good killing sea-
son, as the fresh meat keeps sound for
long period, and there are few diff
ficulties in connection with curing
