saving the I.ittlc ones.

According to the Post Express Of
Rochester, that city is felicitating itself
over a remarkable decrease in NOR
tality during the last few years, especi-
ally among children, and is pluming it
self over being the healthiest city In
the State. The official figures show a
decrease for the month Of July in the
mortality of children under five years
from IT'S in 1887 out of population Of
120 600, to so in 1898 outsof popula-
ton of 10000. The Post-Express att
tributes this gratifying exhibit to the
liberal appropriations made by the city
to maintain the standard quality OF
milk, and the efforts of the physicians
to arrest the havocs of tuberculosis.
With such health and beauty and COM
parative youth, the city immortalizsd
by the exploit of Samuel Patch ought
to let out another foot or so of her cor
sen strings.

1895; in other words, from 6.22 per
cent. to 8.56 per cent. of the entire num-
ber. This increase of female partners
in private firms, although only S3s in
number, constitutes an increase since
1885 of 4761 per cent, while the num-
ber OF male partners has increased only
AT per cent, But in corporations wn-
men are much more largely interested.

Color in Ho,.ses.

Everybody has his favorite color for

disposition make the price. We have

while farmers have had the color craze.

bred to color and gave no consideration
to quality. They now have their favor
lite colored horses on hand, waiting for

color are scarce and fast getting higher
in price. These farmers in future Will
breed for size and quality regardless of
color. In regard to color In horses,

any color is fashionable, if the animal

TIE Manurial Elements Contained In
Stable Manure.
There is no question but what good
stable manure contains all the valuable
manurial elements, but so much stable
manure used is of snch a poor grado
that other sources must De worked 20
supply needed chemicals to the soil.
The nitrogen question has been easily
settled since it has been found that
legumes will gather it for us from the
air so that we are left to deal only
with potash and phospnoric acid. 1t is
well known that there are large stores
of these in the soil. which remains,
oftentimes, undisturbed for years
simply because farmers do not go about
getting them out in the proper way
Gradually II is being learned that the
best way to make these elements avail
able, either when they exis- IN the soil
or are placed there in the shape of dis
solved bone or rock or muriate or sui
phate of potash is by frequent culti-
vation so as TO admit air and moisture
to act ON these elements ana set tnem
free for the use Of plant roots.
Potash and phosphoric acid are not
destroyed by the ordinary methods of
farming and can be put on the land at
any time to be taken up by crops In
the. course Of time Both require some
time to dissolve and If put on this
Fall or Winter they will be used by
the coming seasons crop. Sow broad
cast ON crimson clover If you have that
crop in, of sow on top of the soil il the
ground is to bare all Winter, and
harrow in. Unlike nitrogen, nothing
will be lost by evaporation, but every
bit Of it will go Down into the soil

This season the majority of these
waists are slashed, Vandyked, cut low
in the neck with guimpes above OF,
satin matelasse, brocade, Pompadous,
veloute, sole repousse, etc.-the waist
itself either matching the handsome
fabric composing the skirt, or made OF
broadcloth, armurs, bengaline, or plain
or fancy taffeta, silk, or figured satin.
In the realm of evening dress there are
some beautiful waists in this form, the
low cut portion of the most exquisitely
tinted silks and satin brocades, the
guimpes of lace. net, mousseline de
sole, tulle, etc. Some of these waists
are exceedingly low cut this season and
the guimpes; therefore, that are to
cover or veil the neck are made con-
siderably deeper than usual. A few of
these bodices, it is said will be worn
in full dress, without guimpes. All this

English paper the sentence, The day

are certainly very much ahead of our
English cousins in the matter of trim.
taut, dainty styles and really they
know this as well as we do. In the
same article, Expert the writer
gives some familiar advice about the
mistake of thinking any old thing good
enough to put on to travel about in.
We taught them this ages ago, both
by example and countless printed es-
says on the subject. No woman in
these latter days ever thinks OF doli-
ming anything but a crisp, neat. simple
tailor gown when she has a journey be-
fore her. That is matter that haS
gone without saying these many sea-
sons, even years. Expert" likewise
suggests serge for general utility uses,
and black skirt to wear with various
waists expert" should have further
added that macintosh and an um-
brella should be in every woman's COM

Destroying Corn Smut.

Dairyman and others who feed large
" OF corn have noticed that most ami
mails do not object to the portions OF
the ears and stalks that are covered
with the black parasitic growth as corn
smut, but on the contrary seem rather
to enjoy it. For this reason less care
is taken to stamp out the disease than
would be the case if feeding it was
found injurious The fact is overlook
ed, however, that the consumption of
these smut affected ears and leaves by
no means destroy the disease germs.
but that in the deposits of the animal
they are distributed over the ground,
possibly to appear the second year in a
much more marked degree.
1t is hardly possible that farmers
realize the immense amount of dam
age done by this disease or the prac-
lice Of feeding smut covered corn would
stop. 1t is claimed that in 1895, in
Ohio alone, the loss by corn smut was
more than one hundred thousand dol
lars, and more in some other States.
The disease should be taken in hand
early in the growing season in order
to stamp it out as quickly as possible.
Go over the corn field every ten days or
so and cut out and burn all parts affect
ed by smut At this season go over
the field before the corn is cut and do
the same thing so that there will be
no possible chance of its being fed to
COWS to do more harm another year.

Large bodies of forest land in almost
every wooded portion pf this country
have come into the hands OF private
owners, and are held BY them chiefly
for their value as sources of timber.
Much of this land, probably the greater
part of it. is in hilly Or mountainous
regions where he preservation Of tire
forest is of importance for both wood
and water, while the destruction Of the
lowland forests, except when they give
way to agriculture, would bring with it
the loss OF a plentiful spring Of natural
wealth.
The harvest of the timber crop on
these private timber lands is commonly
accompanied under the usual methods
Of numbering, by the destruction Of the
forest when merchantable trees pre-
dominate, and in any case by.severe
and needless injury. Fire follows the
umberman, in spite of Inc precautions
he very often takes, until in many
places it is thought to be inevitable.
These are misfortunes from which the
owners OF the forest lands are the first
but not the only losers, for in the ag-
gregate the loss is Of immense public
concern.
