Stylish Blouse Waist.


Fine lawn all-over tucking is the
material for this stylish blouse waist,
embroidered insertion, with edging to
match, providing appropriate trim
ming. The heart-shaped plastron
and sleeves are cut with the tucks
running crosswise OF the goods, and
the fancy collar may be cut on
double fold, with the tucks cross
wise in back or on the bias, with
tucks forming V-shape at the centre
seam, as shown. The waist is simply
adjusted with under-arm and shoulder
seams, the neck being cut low in "
shape to disclose the plastron between
the revers of the broad fancy collar.
The closing is accomplished by but
tons and buttonholes through wide
hens in centre front, which is ren.
dered invisible by strip of insertion
edged by narrow frills of embroidery
that is applied over the right front
edge. The stock collar is joined to
the edge of the plastron, and closes in
centre back. The plastron is sewed
to the right front, and closes under
the collar ON left, with buttons and
buttonholes.

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is
now hunted with slow-tracking dog,
and whole fiocks are often killed in
this way. Till the trained dog was
employed to follow up the wary bird
this game fowl could battle the most
skillful hunter. Now when a flock of
turkeys is found the sportsman has
little difficulty. A good dog will fol-
low turkey track that is three or four
hours old, and set the birds when
overtaken, just as the pointer does the
quail. After the turkey has been
chased awhile it hides in tree or
under log, and stays there, until the
hunter guided by his dog, comes with
in his range.
1t is astonishing what fine instinct
a good turkey dog will develop after a
few months of training in the woods.
He will follow a flock of turkeys for
hours just ahead of the hunter, and in
dicate 10y unmistakable signs when the
game is near. After turkey has re-
ceived fatal shot it may fly half n
mile or more. trained dGg will go
straight to wounded or dead turkey
with the same precision with which
he tracks the game. Chicago Record.

In the Tap Root of an Oak.

remember curions incident con
nected with the tap-root. of an oak,
says Rider Haggard in Longman's
Magazine. This oak, good tree Of
perhaps 200 years growth, was being
felled at Brakeman Wood, when the
woodman called attention to something
peculiar on the tap-root. On clearing
this OF soil We found that the object
was horse shoe Of ancient make.
Obviously in the beginning an acorn
must have fallen into the hollow of
this cast shoe, and as it grew through
the slow generations, the root filed
up the circle, carrying it down into
the earth in the process of it's increase,
till at length we found wood and iron
thus strangely welded. That tap-root
is now or used to be paper-weight in
the yestibule at Bradenham Hall.

Keen Horses Managers Clean.

Much dust and soiled food is apt to
accumulate in the horses manger,
and as he is all the time breathing
overit. the manger quickly becomes so
offensive that much food is wasted.
Much of this feed will, however, be
eaten by cattle, as they will eat freely
after horses. Even the horse excre-
ment is not so offensive to them rs to
prevent them from picking out bits of
hay mixed with it. But the horse has
more delicate taste than any other
farm animal except sheep. When
cows pick over the piles of horse man
ure for the hay, they are probably in
need of salt, and are attracted by the
saline taste Of horse urine.

As the time for lambing approaches
the coarse, dirty wool about the ewes
buttocks and udder should be cut
away and saved. This should always
be done before any succuent feed is
given to the ewes to make them give
milk. Usually this tegging in the
olden time was done just before the
ewes were turned out to grass. But
il the ewes have silage or roots it is
important that the tegging be done
early. In many ewes the wool grows
over the udder, so that the lamb finds
it almost impossible to reach the teat.
We have seen many lamb get hold
of a piece of wool, often only teg,
and suck away until completely dis
gusted because it did not find the nu-
tritious milk it was looking for.

FOR FARM And GARDEN.


The feed of sliced bone for hens is
much more than so much grit in the
gizzard to enable them to digest their
food. 1t is itself food of the very best
sort to make eggs, furnishing the gela-
tine for the eggs aud lime for the
shell. Dried, cooked or burned bones
are not nearly so good, as the gelatine
has been expelled from the bone, and
its lime is also in less soluble condi-
tion than while it is in the green state.
But hens gizzard is equal to the
task of grinding up almost anything
A diet of green bone and whole wheat
is probably the best of all for egg pro-
duction.

Cow Home.

notice disposition in the dairy
districts toward change in barn
building and an avoidance of the huge
half basement structure, with its mas
sive underpinning and great hay
mows. 1t is proposed to build so as
to get sanitation as well as room. The
advent of the silo has made it possible
to eliminate the oldtime meadow hay;
hence great storage capacity in the
barns is not now imperative. Today
the few acres in corn, rapidly put into
the silo, is an economy recognized
everywhere, and is generally being
adopted. All that is needed now are
hay barrack for the clover hay and a
silo. The COW stable can now take
the place of the barn--a structure for
cows alone. No overhead storage for
hay and straw; wide so as to have
two rows of cows with ample passage
ways, possibly thirty five feet in
width, the double roof overhead being
the ceiling as well. There should be
cement floors; no cobbledup plank and
timber floors; plenty of windows on
the sides to admit sunlight, the stable
being built north and south, 80 as to
get the most sunshine possible. There
is no need for wide alleys in which II
horse sled may be driven; for a single
overhead track, and n manure-box
suspended, so that when filed it can
be run ont and overturned upon the
sled or manure vehicle to be taken at
once to the fields, are far better than
highway through the stables.
These stables should be fully 100
more feet in the clear inside, so rs to
give each COW 500 feet or more of air
space. Ventilation is made ample by
running two ten-inch shafts of galvan-
lied iron from within foot of the
floor, up above the roof, aud with a
simple little wind wheel on the top OF
each, with pitcher pump valves in
them aud connected with the wheel.
The floor air of the stable is then
pumped out, and the nice warm air in
the top of the stable left. The pump
ing will bring in mir from the outside
without the necessity of cutting cat
holes in the sides. At one end of the
stable two large round silos can be
built, connecting with the feed alley,
and at the other end of the stable a
hay barrack can be put up, an old
barn utilized or the like, and the stable
will be complete at n total cost of a
few hundred dollars, while the great
barn-admitted to be most imposing
costs its thousands. This long stable
can be built of 2x6-inch stuff, and so
covered as to make dead air-spaced
walls and will be frost proof.
In the summer the glass windows
can be taken ont and fine netting of
some sort substituted to make them
fly proof. The sanitation of such
barns can be made complete, because
they are light and airy. and the sun
light covers the entire interior. The
floors are always dry, with no chance
to have pools of filth under them, and
SO can be kept clean. There is no
chance for the odors, vitiated air, ETC..
to go up, and, being absorbed by the
hay and fodder, be in turn consumed
when this material is used as COW
feed. This is too practical an age to
build barns just for show when less
money will give us far better struc-
ture and one more in accordance with
the 1899 wants of the COW and the
economical production of milk. New

Hard and Soft Bristles.

There are few bristles on the hogs
which all good American farmers
keep, though sometimes an old boar
will have some that will answer if none
better can be had. The wild hogs of
Russia and Germany furnish most of
the bristles that the world uses. II is
doubtless the cold climate of Russia
that makes the bristles hard and stiff,
for the wild hogs of Spain, in southern
Europe, have bristles that are not
much better than those of American
hogs. We can we'll afford to let Russia
keep the monopoly it has in growing
bristles, for the hog, which has stout,
hard bristles is very little good for
making pork economically. Some of
the southern wild hogs have quite
good bristles, and when two or three
years old they will not weigh more
than wellfed pig should do at seven
or nine months old.

Just n dozen members were present
at Monday evenings session of the
senate. a resolution was adopted pro-
viding that after April all bills on
the postponed calendar shall. be
dropped, and that after that date no
bills shall be read in place. After call
ing up and passing several unimport-
ant bills on second reading the cham
ber adjourned.
In the senate Tuesday the bill pro-
viding for the publication in the news
papers of all the laws enacted by the
legislature was defeated on final pas
sage. Another proposition that met
its death provided that a committee of
five, should take charge and purchase
at cost price all the text books for the
public schools.
The Joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the Constitution OF the
commonwealth passed finally. The
amendment strikes out section T. ar
ticle s. and inserts in place thereof
this section:
"AIl elections of the citizens shall be

that secrecy in voting be preserved"
The object is to permit of the use OF

Small Fruits and Ornamental shrubbery,


No town lot should be so small and
no farm should be so large that there
is not room for some small fruit and
at least shrub or two in the way Of
ornamentation.
In the pioneer days of Illinois it
was a rare thing to see new farm
opened up without lilac bush and at
least half dozen currant bushes
planted near the house. Now there
are hosts of home buildings in both
the older states and in newly settled
regions that think it too much bother
to fuss with berry plants or berry
bushes, and as for bit of shrubbery
just for looks, that is out of the ques-
ton. 1t should not be so. No mat
ter how small the homestead let there
be berries of some sort, and at least
few currants. The farm of forty acres
or more should have at leasta quarter
of an acre devoted to small fruit, in
cuding grapes, blackbelries, rasp-
berries, currants, gooseberries and
Strawberries. These should all be
planted in rows running the long way
of the land devoted to the purpose, so
as to do the cultivating as much as
may be with horse and cultivator and
save the labor of hoeing.
A southern exposure with rows run
ming north and south is good loca-
ton. Let the grapes be on one side;
if the rows are longer than the space
you wish to devote to them fill out the
row to blackberries. Continue the
rows one after another far enough
apart to allow of horse cultivation, as
suggested, till the space on the side
opposite the grapes is only as large as
You wish to devote to Strawberries,
long that You have only one row of
Strawberries, at least every third plant
must be a staminate, or your crop will
be failure.
If one feels he cannot put out a full
assortment OF fruit this year, begin
ming at least should be made, and we
recommend the setting out of currants,
gooseberries and strawberries, aud it
will be we'll to select the stock now,
using the catalogue of some reliable
nurseryman or dealer in small fruit
plants as guide, nearby dealer hav-
ing the preference, other things being
equal.
As to shrubbery-if you have no
preference as to what aud how much
: yos want, consult your wife or daugh-
ters, or ii at the old home where
mother is, consult her wishes. If, in
addition to bit of shrubbery, a plant
or two is desired, get it. The pleasure
and satisfaction given will more than
repay the money outlay, and the look
OF added thrift and comfort about the
place will enhance the money value Of
tho farm or town home much more
than the expenditure.
