OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

Probably owing to the fact that the
duchess Of York's wedding jewels were
largely composed Of turquoises-her ia
vorite stone-the turquoise has been
coming more and more into fashion.
One of the latest developments is to
carve heads and initials on them.
1t has become quite the fashion now
for bridesmaids to carry baskets of
flowers instead of bouquets. Special
baskets are made, generally of white
chip, with tall, slight handles. A bow
Of ribbon can be added at the top and
the flowers are securely fastened in
position by means of needle and
thread.
American ladies, says an English
writer, have new fad. They carry
about with them a living mascot" or
charm, in the shape of black kitten,
the idea being that it will avert catas-
trophe to friends or relatives taking
part in the war. The kitten is some
times carried in bag. 1t is absolute
ly necessary that the animal should be
black. How the idea originated We
are not at present informed.
The duchess of Portland is very
keenly interested in temperance and
has done some good work to the cause,
though, no doubt, her natural reserve
would make her shrink from the pub
licity it involves. In spite of being
the wife of one of the richest men in
England and mistress of one Of it's
finest mansions, Lady Portland does
little entertaining. She is, however,
well calculated to shine as a society
hostess, for she has a great charm of
manner and a stately sort of beauty.
She is tall and graceful, with dark hair
and a lily and rose complexion. Her
maiden name was Miss Dallas York,
and she is the daughter of a Yorkshire
squire. 1t is said that the duke of
Portland first saw her at railway sta
ton and was then and there captivated
with her dignified beauty and her
charming manner. Afterward, meeting
her by chance in London drawing
room, he began that acquaintance with
her which led to marriage.

Building and Filling a siIo.

For those who want to build a silo
that will hold ten tons of ensilage the
following suggestions are given:
AS the average weight of cubic foot
ofensilage is estimated at forty pounds,
cube ten feet square and five feet
high would be about the size of ten
ton block of ensilage, but to get this
would require some additional height
when filling, and as the pressure from
above is necessary to preserve ensilage
in the best condition it tisrecommended
that the depth of a silo that is not to
be weighted should be at least sixteen
feet
We would not think of building one
less than ten feet deep, and think that
much better satisfaction would be
given by silo from twelve to sixteen
feet deep. Taking twelve feet as the
shaiiowest we would build building
eight feet square, it would give 1858
cubic feet, which is as small as we
would wish to build, to be sure of ten
tons OF preserved silage.
The building may be made of good,
sound, seasoned lumber, balloon frame.
In the frame 2x6 OF 2xS scantling may
be used; the ends should be cut square
and the functions securely toe-nailed
with good, round steel spikes. The
boards for the walls should be sound.
well seasoned and free from sap.
Green lumber should not be used.
The walls may be given coating of
coal tar or roofing pitch applied hot.

Crops as Manure.

Using crops for manure does not
bring in quick returns, but it pays.
Such crops as turnips, rye, buckwheat
and crimson clover assist in reducing
the plant food in the soil and making
it possible for the crops the succeed
ing year to utilize the plant food
plowed under in the manure crop.
All soils contain unavailable matter
that the farmer needs. There are
crops that do not have the power to
break down the chemical compounds
existing in the soils, but there are
other crops which have q partiality
for some substances which are beyond
the ability of plants of o different
kind. One crop may be preparatory
for another, hence the plowing un-
der Of crop is not loss, but a gain.
In England the turnips are regarded
as renovator of the soil, and the seed
is broadeasted over the surface, sheep
being allowed access to the turnips
after they have matured. The tur-
n1ps can feed on almost anything in
the soil, and when eaten by sheep the
gain of mutton and manure give the
farmer a profit, but the English
farmer attaches as much value to the
increased fertility of his soil as he
does to the product which he markets
therefrom. 1t may be urged, as some
have done, that green crops can add
no mineral matter to the soil other
than it takes therefrom, which is true;
but such crops render the mineral
matter available for the next season. -

Sunshine and Light For Poultry.

Poultry abhor darkness. Sunlight
is more agreeable to them than dark
poultry houses. and they would rather
endure cold with sunlight than warmth
with darkness. Dark poultry houses
are nearly always damp, and are fruit
full sources of disease in winter time.
There should always be good-sized
window in each; about fourth of the
front should be glass. Too much
glass is to be avoided and the reasons
are obvious.

Take Good Care of Farm Tools.

have always considered money in.
vested in tools as much of mans
actual capital as that in live stock OIL
real estate and the care of one as
essential as the care of the other,
Upon many farms plows, harrowa
reapers, atc., are left standing in the
field where used or in the yard uncov-
cred, save perhaps by the rather leaky
roof of tree, uncared for, only as
nature covered each with rust OF
mold. And still the cry goes up from
these same farmers of hard times, and
so they will be next year harder than
ever, when these tools are called into
use and found broken, or worse,
rotted and rusted out, entailing de-
lays for repairs when work is press
ing, OF the expense Of new ones.
The owner of one farm / visited is
considered scientific farmer And
so he is as far as preparing the soil,
growing his crops, and caring for live
stock is concerned, but there it ends.
1 never saw COWS slicker or better fed
and housed; horses whose glossy coats
and tossing heads told palmer than
words of plenty of oats and care.
Just out in the yard, not a stones
throw from the warm stables, / saw
three plows, two cultivators, spring
tooth harrow, hay rake, and as the
auctioneer's say, "other articles too
numerous to mention" without cover
save the snow which was fast drifting
over them. No lack of storage room
here, for there are unused sheds and
barns on the farm, enough to store
five times the amount 1t seemed to
me there was no excuse for such negli-
gence, when an hours work would
have housed them all.
During the time of use many tools
have to be left in the field exposed to
the sun and rain for days ut time,
but when not in use they should be
sheltered. And later in the season or
during the winter each tool should be
examined, and put in order for the
coming spring. My plan is as soon
as the hurry of work is over in the
fall, to inspect each tool, and if plow
or eultivator, to scour the points, etc.,
tighten the nuts, put 10 new bolts if
necessary, and then with warm lin
seed oil brush over the entire imple-
ment, castings and woodwork.
When springtime comes there is no
guesswork about the tools. They are
ready every time. A farmer can do
much repairing himself if he tries,
and with but few tools. A small stock
of bolts and screws should be kept on
hand, and few sticks of choice tim
Der for emergencies. The butt of
that young hickory or oak cut last
winter, had it been put in some dry
place, would have been the thing for
some OF our repairs and better timber
than is often found at the shops. You
wanted short whiiHetree last winter
when you cultivated corn. Make one
now and get it ironed while work is
not pressing. Take it to the black
smith whea you take the teeth from
the spike toothed harrow to be sharp
ened, aud do not put it off until
spri agtime. II. Bowerman, in

It Is difficult to understand how the
occurrence OF a. thing can be known
before 1t has taken place, until one
stops to think of the celebrity of tele-
graphy and the motion OF the earth
around its axis.
The battle OF Manila occurred on Sum
day forenoon. and Madrid got an init.
nation Of It several hours earlier.
II the Transmission Of the news Ind
been instantaneous. Madrid would
have heard Of It several hours before
sunrise, according to our time, on Sun
day morning, while the United tsates
would have heard of It on Saturday
afternoon.
The explanation OF the apparent dis
crepancy Is in the earth's rotation east
ward. Every point on It's surface has
the sun on It's meridian at IL noon, ap-
proximately, each day, and the day at
each particular point begins twelve
hours earlier, or at midnight. Thus, in
appearance. the sun makes n complete
circuit of the earth, 800 degrees, every
twenty-tour hours, or at the rate of IL
degrees every hour. Points Is degrees
OF longitude west OF New York have
noon an hour later than New York.
This will furnish the key to the Ma
Mia battle puzzle. Persons sailing
west across the meridian line IN the Pa
ciic practically lose twenty-four hours.
