NEW ORLEANS SOCIETY.
They who Are Once Received by II
Never Forget the Charm of Its
Perfect Social Life.

"The question that confronts the
Creole to-day" writes Harrydele Hall
mark of social life in New Orleans, in
the Ladies' Home Journal, sis, Will the
money of the Americans rule the city
socially in the beginning of the twen-
tieth century, While money rules less
in New Orleans than in any other city
of its size in the United States, still a
certain amount is absolutely necessary
for n person to keep up the exterior OF
a gentleman's position. Yet people Of
good family and very limited means do
hold the best social positions, because
they have learned to give up the chatt
and spend their money on the wheat.
Again, people of no influence, as New
Orleans counts it, but who have plenty
OF money, tact and social qualifications,
can obtain and have obtained good
standing. Blood and money together
are good; money and refinement are
not specially favored condition, as are
the two others, for storming New Or
leans society; but any OF the three
qualifications alone would have a hard
time of IL. Narrowing it down, it re
mains that money alone cannot entei
New Orleans society to-day; refinement
alone cannot, but blood-well, it has
held and does hold the lead. The at
mosphere Of New Orleans society, as
this century draws to close, is con
spicuously Partisan in manner, ardent
" American in loyalty to the old flag
warm-hearted to the visitor, reserved
in its inner life, pleasure-loving ant
childlike in its gayety. 1t offers to one
in its social as well as its physical life
the heart of ripe, red pomegranate
He who tastes never forgets the charm
He never forgets the redrroofed houses
the chimes of cathedral bells, the en-
tresol where lives la Belle Creole, tn,
folk songs on guitar, the melodiou
swing of French voices, nor the dark
Iuvurious beauty of the women"

dom for the bride-elect to be, not only
forewarned. but forearmed as well,
against this inevitable yearning on the
part of the lord Of the manor.
The forewarniDg may come in the
form of little wedding present - a
dainty, parchmentcovered recipe book,
with decorations suitable to the occa-
sion. A suggestion in this direction is
offered in the cut; the old shoes fly
ing after. the retreating wagon, with
"Things That His Mother Made" etched
across the page. The little book is
made ofvery heavy, unruled linen pa
per, with the cover Of parchment paper
or the very heavy, rough paper that is
used for water-color painting. The or
namentation may be done in whatever
medium one chooses - water color,
sepia or pen and ink.
Inside are to be written the recipes
for lot of the good things his
mother used to m2ke!" These can
quietly be procured from the mother
in question. Such little book will
add bit of merriment to the bridal
gift-making, and may be made to
prove, as well, source OF practical as
sistance later on, when household cares
are assumed.-Rural New Yorker.

than the Russian thistle. The plant
was introduced into this country from
Europe previous to 1878, as it was first
noticed in that year in Philadelphia.
1t is probable that it had been growing
in out-of-the-way places for some years
before being noticed. Since that time
it has spread over much of the coun-
try between the two oceans. 1t bears
numerous seeds, the seed pods contain
ing frequently 100 seeds each. As the
plants are very numerous on each plant,
the number of seeds single plant may
bear is almost beyond calculation.
Prof. James Fletcher, of Canada, by
careful calculation came to the conclu-
sion that one plant with which he came
in contact contained not less than l.
500, 900 seeds. The pods are round and
long and stand out almost at right an
giles to the stem on which they are
borne.
The means of eradication is to plow
under or cut down with sharp hoe
before the seeds have ripened enough
to grow. This must be early, for seeds
will sprout and grow while yet very
immature. The plant is easily killed
when cut off at the roots, while its
seeds are yet uniformed. A man can
eradicate large area of it in single
day. Being an annual, it will not grow
again from the root.-Farmers' Review

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Don't think of using grade rams
Pedigreed animals only can be depend
ed on for satisfactory results.
Keep a trough under cover in the
sheep yard pastures and nitput mix
ture of salt and sulphur. This will
keep off ticks.
Dogs do not like too much noise when
they are hunting sheep. Put one good
rafting bell on every twentieth sheep
or one on every ten is better.
The day of the big, heavy-feeding
sheep seems to have passed, not to re-
turn, and the demand for younger
muttons is steadily growing one.
Do not change feed suddenly, espe'
cially from dry feed to pasture. There
is always loss of condition for few
days following and sudden change
Keep up the regular feed until the floel
have become accustomed to the grass

Don't set the hens in the hen house.

They will be constantly disturbed by
the layers, eggs will be broken and the
setters will frequently be entirely crowd
ed off the nest. Give the sitter a nest
where she can attend to her duties in
peace. A barrel laid on its side insome

a nest as anything which can be de-
yised. Shovel out a small cavity for the
barrel to rest in and use the loose earth
for forming a small embankment
around it, for carrying off the surface

GOOD FARM CROPS.
They Are Those Which Save the Fer
tiIity of the Soil and Produce
Paying Results.

No crop in this section of the country
takes the precedence of corn, writes
Nebraska contributor to Wallace's
Farmer. 1t is so abundant and so use
full. do not know of any other crop
that can be used for so many purposes.
II makes good human food and admits
of being prepared in so many ways. l
don't know of any other crop that will
supply the wants of our domestic ami
mails so completely as the corn crop.
The entire plant fed to cattle or sheep
makes an admirable fattening ration,
supplying both grain and rough feed
of the highest quality. Do not fail to
have a good corn crop. Then concen-
trate it as much as possible into the
most marketable products, butter or
meat, before it leaves the farm. Next
to corn, if not equal to it, is sorghum,
drilled in with the ordinary grain drill
at the rate of three pecks to one bushel
of seed to the acre. No one will believe
the amount of good feed for any kind
of stock this will produce until they
try it for themselves. Then comes
peas and oats sown together. | differ
from many in the amount of seed to be
sown in this combination. think
mostly too many oats are sown for the
peas. prefer one and one-half to two
bushels of peas to not more than three
pecks of oats per acre. Do not let the
ueas become too ripe before cutting
My crop of peas and oats seeded in the
above proportions yielded last season
over four tons per acre.

Helen Watterson Moody believes that
the husband who can be managed is not
worth managing, "and there isno better
principle" she adds, in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "for both husband and
wife to adopt in adjusting themselves
to the new relation than that of trying
to do each by the other what men are
accustomed to call the square thing
Many awoman understands managing
a husband better than she does doing
the square thing by him, and many a
man understands and practices doing
the square thing by other men who
would be affronted If he were to be told
that, judged by his own business stand
ards, he habitually dealt unfairly with
his own wife"

The Importnnce of variety.

When the flock has received no grain
but corn the hens soon begin to refuse
it. This may be particularly noticed II
a small quantity of oats or wheat be
thrown before them. They will at once
eagerly seize the grains of oats and
wheat, leaving the corn untouched.
This indicates that the hens require
something else than that which they
derive from the corn, such as the phos-
pilates or nitrogen. After feeding oats
or wheat awhile the hens will leave
those grains and eat largely of corn.
The proper method, then, is to keep a
variety, using corn as portion OF the
ration in winter, but emitting it in
the summer. Among the grains we
may mention wheat, corn, oats. barley
and buckwheat, the best results being
obtained when they are changed from
one to the other occasionally.-Farm
and Fireside.

THEIRS BY RIGHT.
An Allowance In Cash Il Not n Mere
Privilege Hut n Duty Par
ents Owe to Girls.

II it be essential and necessary that
girls should be well acquainted with all
matters connected with the manage
ment of money, then there can be no
better method adopted for enabling
them to become thus acquainted with
those matters than by granting them
weekly or monthly allowance of such
amount as their parents or guardians
may be able to afford. But If such an al
lowance is granted it should be given to
cover certain specified expenses, such
as dress and other personal necessities.
An allowance is not mere privilege,
but in a certain sense, girls right. 10
withhold it is an injustice not only to
the girl, but to the man whom she may
marry and whose money will be intrust-
ed to her care to spend wisely. Indeed,
it might be said without hesitation that
it is a fathers duty to see that his
daughters not only understand the
value of money, but the difficulty OF
earning the same.
1t was the poet Young, a somewhat
dismal and lugubrious author, who told
us in his might Thoughts" that 1--WE

know the value of money who have not
got any. A girl who caters for herself
will have an opportunity of showing her
individual taste, and it gives her feel
ing of self-reliance.-Chicago Daily

IMPROVING THE BEES.
II Can BE Done systematically where
only the Right Kind Of Queens
IL Raised.

One would naturally suppose thai
there is but little If any difference in
bees, and that one hive Of bees was just |
as good as another. More particularly
would this supposition exist when the
oees are of the same variety or race.
While it is true that certain races OF
bees, as whole, are much superior
to other races, yet 1t is also
fact that some colonies of any race are
far superior to other colonies. AS II
is now conceded that the Italian bees
are superior to all other races as a
whole, it is also fact that we not only
find some colonies of this variety in any
apiary, but we can find whole apiaries
considerably in advance OF others IN
usefulness. The expert apiarist under
stands this fully, and knows II IS
brought about by careful breeding.
The breeder of fine stock of any kind
selects his best specimens to breed
from, and therefore improves his herd.
Now the apiarist is not behind in the
least in this respect, but selects his best
stock in breeding and makes as rapid
strides in this direction as anybody.
The principal point in breeding bees
centers upon the queen. The apiarlsf
has under his control the breeding OF
queens and can rear them from any
other queen he has in his apiary. but
he cannot control her matings with the
male bee, as this is beyond his reason.
As it is well known that the queen Is
the only female bee in the hive, and
lays all the eggs that produce each and
every bee therein, hence, to change the
entire stock of the hive it is only nee
essary to introduce new queen to the
colony. Two colonies of bees having
the same traits of character, markings,
etc., cannot be found, but when all are
Matched from eggs Of the same queen
they will have peculiarities Of their
own, as a colony, not found in another.
For example, some colonies are more
industrious and win store more honey
than others, even with less number
of bees. Some are cross, and some gen
| tie. Some are robbers and some are
good citizens. Some incline to swarm
. others do not under the same condi
, tions. Some breed more rapidly and be
) come very strong in numbers, while
: others do not attain great strength

stock Is Fond OF straw.

Straw is relished by stock at times,
as may be noticed when cattle have ac-
cess to a straw rack, even when they
nre well fed. Straw alone is not ofyalne
as q food to great extent, but II be-
comes serviceable when made portion
of the ration. No kind of food is suit
able when it is given every day with
nothing else. Many foods consist large
ly of water, containing but little solid
matter, but such foods become more
valuable when given as a variety be-
cause they promote digestion and pre-
vent waste.
