The pleasant method and beneficial

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers

to overcome habitual constipation per-

every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.

Pretty low slippers and low shoes
that have been worn the past summer
aud fall, and will be worn in the house
and in the south this winter, are
unique, being made of yellow Russia
leather, with n dull finish, giving
them the appearance OF calf. Being
made of leather soft in itself, but
having an appearance of heavy ma
terial, they ,lare particularly attract
i've in fancy shoes. Some of these
slippers have n tongue going up on
the instep, with one broad strap clasp
ing over il and fastening with a bow,
a little or very large buckle. Large
and elaborate buckles are to be seen
on many slippers. Many varieties OF
pretty strapped slippers have one,
two, three aud four straps. The big
buckles necessitate big bows under
them or they are across the straps of n
three or four strap slipper. Rhine
stone and cut steel buckles are the
prettiest of all, though tiny gold
buckle on the toe of a slipper with
several straps has a business like ap-
pearance that is attractive. Most of
the cut steel, as well as the rhinestone
buckles are imported and consequent
ly expensive. A pretty buckle is of
gun metal and rhinestones.
Popular slippers are of patent
leather, which always look well. Many
slippers have different colored heels,
and many people like them. The high
heel the woman with the pretty foot
affects, and some prominent women Of
the stage always wear extra high
heels. One well known actress never
wears heel less than two and three
fourths inches high. The ordinary
heel will measure two inches; half an
inch in heel is considerable. The
other week several pairs of shoes and
slippers with heels four iuches high
we're made in New York for Buffalo
woman. No one knows how she will
be able to walk on them.
Slippers made to match gowns are
pretty, but they are not economical,
for the material, unless it happens to
be one of the standard satins, blue,
pink, red and yellow, or black oil
white, cannot be relied upon TO wear.

A dainty necktie that can be made
at home is of a three-inch wide length

about the collar is tucked or corded

The long-continued reports that ear
rings are coming into fashion again
have become more convincing as they

evidences of truth. Anyway, earrings

There is no question at all but the
most successful way for a dairyman
to secure n good herd Of cows is to
raise them himself, aud then he is
pretty sure to know just what kind of
cows he possesses.
Probably the first thing to do in
order to secure such herd as this
would be to take the present herd and
do large amount OF wedding ont,
getting rid of the poor ones and keep
ing only the good ones, and then Sc
curing bull that has a record and
belongs to one of the many recog-
nized breeds, and of breed that is
particularly suited to your needs.
Then again, it will be part of your
duty to develop heifers as you secure
them. Have them come when about
two years of age, and do not bring
them in second time until they reach
about three and a half years, or allow
about year and half between the
first and second calf
Do not dry the heifers of because
they do not happen to pay their own
way. This seeming unprofitableness
will only last short time. and you
are all the time paving the way for a
superior milch COW.

RnIns Spreading Pntnto Rot.

Whenever much rain falls before the
potato crop is dug there is always
more or less rotting of the tubers.
Most OF the ne " varieties set near the
surface. When digging those where
the rains have wet down to them will
usually be found badly rotted, while
those that have set lower down will
be found entirely sound. Most all of
our new potatoes are punched in the
hill aud when rot attacks one it spreads
very rapidly If the weather is warm
and moist. For this reason potatoes
should be got out early before heavy
rains come, which will carry the
spores of disease down to the bottom
of the hill, If the land is well drained,
and none others should be used to
grow potatoes on. Deep planting Is
much better than shallow, as it will
cause fewer potatoes to set near the
surface.

winter Ration for Poultry.

Here is Prof. Gilberts winter ra-
tion: Bran, three pounds; fine feed,
three pounds; corn meal, two pounds,
fed with clover hay steamed and cut,
adding also very small quantity of
salt and two or three handfuls of
coarse sand aud fine oyster shells
mixed. Sometimes boiled vegetables
are used in place of the hay. At noon
he gives light feed of oats and q
good feed of wheat in the evening.
The grain ration is var led as much as
possible. He keeps raw vegetables,
including cabbages, carrots and tur-
nips, where the hens can peck at them
any time. Professor Gilbert has
charge of the poultry department at
the Ottawa experiment station, and
has done some good work in bringing
out the egg possibilities Of hens.
As to giving the salt. this should be
a matter of personal judgment. Some
successful poultry raisers condemn it
very strongly, while others use it
continually. Those who contemplate
using it should do little experiment
ing.
