Farm and Garden Notes.

Underfed or overfed hens are poor
layers.
Do not expect eggs from over
crowded focks.
It is not desirable to keep begonias
entirely in the sh9de. They should
havc, if possible, the morning sun.
To prevent worms from attacking
the roots of ten roses, scatter wood
ashes over the ground at short dis
tance from the stalks.
Subsoiling has the advantage of
loosening the harl pan below the sur
face. It may be Injurious on some
soils to turn the subsoil up, but it can
do no harm to pulverize it.
The interior walls of the silo should
be as smooth as possible aid then
therein be no cross rods or pro-
jecrions of any kind as these prevent
complete packing and consequent rot
ting.
Gentle heat and moisture cause
fresh seeds to germinate, during which
process they require darkness. When
sprouted introduce to the light by
degrees, and keep constantly watered
but not wet.
Oats contain more protein shan
corn and less starch, but oats contain
fully rs much oil Tor fat) as corn,
about 4 per cent, but the proper
tion of oil is too small to render either
grain unfit for horses. It is the starch
in the corn that produces fat on an
animal.

Feeding the Dairy Cow.

When properly fed dairy COW will
neither guin nor lose in live weight,
and under such conditions will pro-
duce the maximum quantity of milk
which her physical conformation per-
mits. and that milk will have its max
imum quality, i. e., there will be a
maximum epithelial growth.
The food which produces such re-
suits is an ideal milk ration, and the
nearest approach to it which man
possesses is a good pasture. The
moment artificial feeding begins the
conditions are altered. If al excess
of nutriment is given the tendency to
fatten will gradually outstrip the ten
dency for milk production. If a de-
fciency of nutrimcnt be given the
body suffers first, subsequently the
quality of the milk, and. lastly, the
quantity. These results will be
most marked when there is stimuli
taueously an abundant supply OF
water. If now the food be changed
there will be corresponding change
in the quantity and quality of the
milk, but it will not be immediate.
Experiments have been made for me
under the latter conditions. The re-
suit was that the animals frstutilized
the food to replenish their emaciated
bodies. The milk remained practi-
cally unaffected for from four to six
weeks. Then the food told. This
fact emphasizes one source of error in
feeding experiments-they are not
conducted on sufficiently long
period. .-Professo F. j. Lloyd before
the British Dairy Farmers Associa.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
; FOR WOMANS BENEFIT.
The Trimmed Skirt.

The trimmed skirt appears to ad-
vance more rapidly and more generally
in favor than the draped or over
skirted styles. There are moro over
skirt effects, simulated by various
modes of adjusting frills, pipings,
founces, ruches, and other fashion
able garnitures, than there are genu-
inc double skirts. Panels Of silk or
of another fabric introduced on either
side of the front of a skirtor princesse
dress make very effective and be-
coming trimming for short women, o
far better arrangement than any frill
or hounce going round and round tho
skirt, as the panels at each side add
not little to the appearance OF height.

Clover anei Timothy Together.

This system of work fitted OUR cir
cumstances, with clover-timothy hay
und with burn room to accommodate
it. We never tried to raise clover
alone, and do not reciprocate the
sentiment of those who belittle the ex-
cellent qualities of this grass. The
two suit edch other so we'll that it
seems like criticising Mother Nature
to divorce them. Sown together
these two plants fully occupy the
ground as they grow side by side, the
timothy filling spots left vacant by the
trifolium, or deserted by it later when
its biennial mission is ended. And
when it comes to harvesting the crop
timothy acts as q go-between or nurse
in helping to cure the clover which is
difficult to handle separately. Except
to those who can control plenty of
help, haying cannot be prosecuted
under ideal conditions, so far as pre-
serving oil the crop at thatstage when
the chemist informs us the green crop
cor yains tile most available nutritive
qualities. While haying may usually
begin when the crop is at or near its
best, the later cut hay may have
passed to the stage where it is less
digestible, and this is one of the un-
avoidable losses which must be met
philosophically. Stock and
Home.

Soldiers Schemes for Luxuries.

A quarter of an hour later he re-

Let the arms hang at the sides.
Now drop the head as low upon the

without moving any part of the body
below the neck.
Revolve the head slowly, keeping
it dropped as low as possible.
At the first symptoms of WEAKNESS

repeat the movement. turning the
head as slowly as possible.
This will do more to strengthen the
undeveloped muscles of the neck, re.
duce large, ugly cords, and give the
head a free, graceful poise than boxes
of skin food, although cocoa butter
slowly and patiently massaged into
the flesh before and after the exercise
will help it wonderfully in the good
results.
The back of the neck and upper
part of the shoulders will become es-
pecially beautifed, and the "salt cell
lars" will rapidly disappear.

A Cheap Silo.

A round silo which in many respects
is to be preferred to either the square
or the tub silo, may be used ut on ex-
pense of about s25 by using planks
sixteen feet long by six inches wide
and two inches thick. Set four planks
on end MS far apart as possible in o
circle sixteen feet in diameter, hold
ing them in place with braces. Have
made five iron bands or rims three
fourths of an inch thick and large
enough to go round the silo. Place
one of these at the top and one at the
bottom over the four planks and hold
in place by long nail driven into the
planks and bend upward over the rim.
Have blocks of castiron each contain
ing two holes two inches apart. The
ends of the rims should be cut WI
threads and run through the iron
blocks, gradu ally tightening the nuts
as the other plauks are put i'll. The
other rims should be put on three or
four feet apart and each frightened as
the planks are put in position until all
care secure. Cut two holes through
four plauks through which the silage
is taken when it is to be fed. These
pieces of plank should bejoined nicely
together and by cleats and hinges
should be made into doors to close
and faston with au iron button when.
the silo is being filled.

Tho c,t Of Wash Dresses.

The durability of wash dresses of
very thin goods depends greatly on
the fashion of cutting. It will be OBJ
served that very few of the organdics
and other thin cotton fabrics have
threads running straightway of the
breadth. 1T is almost always the case
that in the calendering the goods
is drawn. The amateur or care
less dressmaker cuts the rufiles and
founces straight across as the goods
comes. This gives wavy lines and
curves in the threads, aud when the
garment needs freshening up they
loose their shape and symmetry at
once. It is not easy to stretch oil or
candle or thin cotton fabric to straight
lines, but if anything further than its
first wear is expected of it this'is one
of the necessities.
