The British government is the owner

Gold mines at Johannesburg are not

any destruction of property and in
nearly all cases the mines could be put

Perhaps one of the most conscientious
of royal diary keepers is the empress
of Germany, whose daily record no one

in an iron safe, which is kept locked
A forest fire at Colebrook, a noun
tain hamlet near New Haven, Conn,
has driven hundreds of rattlesnakes
down into the lowlands and they are
biting and poisoning cattle. The ex-
tent of the reptile exodus from the
woods can be pictured from the fact
that one man killed and picked up 126
rattlers in one day. Some of them
are very old.
ronto, Ont, began the erection of a

Many Of the Iaces this year are made
effective by having no groundwork, the
pattern of flowers or of conventional de-
signs being cut out all over the lace.
One of the prettiest forms in which
the gold is to be found is in the gold
gauze which forms patterns in white
laces. Ali laces are beautiful this year,
and colors abound in them.
White corduroy skirts are replacing
the white pique skirts now that cool
days have come and are more prac-

Red hats grow more and more auda-

trimmed in scarlet velvet geraniums or

The black cloths for gowns and
Jackets were never before so finely
woven or beautifully finished as tney
are this season, and they undoubtedly
take an important place among fabrics
for modish gowns suitable to wear at
any time of day or for any sort of
demi-dress function.
Plumes made of cocks feathers or
cleaning iridescent breast feathers are
greatly used on the low, broad hats
instead of ostrich plumes and form the
rim of many of the soft turbans. The
narrow buckle of exaggerated length is
a conspicuous feature Of autumn mill
merry.
Among the new cheap handkerchiefs
are many trimmed with lace. Tney
have lace insertions and lace edges,
some with point desprit and plain foot
ing ruffled on the edge. They would be
prettier if they kept to these two sim
pie materials as the imitation valen-
ciennes detracts from them.
Straps of all kinds appear in all
sorts of places this year, and are fre-
Quently finished at their pointed edges
with one or three small buttons. Sew
eral straps, beginning at the shoulder
of flannel shirtwaist, are carried, three
or more on each side, half way down
the waist and are finished with p1int.
Stylish-looking autumn redingotes
are made of Scotch tweed in almost

Most of them are double-breas and

Others have hoods lined with fancy
tafeta, with braided revers, collars and

FARM NEWS Mules.
MARKETING POULTRY.

! The season for marketing young popl-
/ try is well nigh over. There is quite
! demand for young stuff during the
period OF fries" for great many
| people have z liking for fried chicken.
| Pretty soon the markets will demand
older and well fsttened fowls. In look
ing through an establishment where
poultry is being bought one will be sur
prised at the small amount of really
hrst class poultry that comes into the
market. A lean chicken is very poor
eating, and consequently a poor seller
with good reasons The common fowl
cannot be converted into the highest
quality for which the better class of
buyers will pay good price.
Most of the poultry that comes from
the farm is not well fattened. When
selling time comes chickens are select
I'd and sold without ascertaining wheth-
er they are fit for sale. AS a rule the
opposite condition exists and such as
are considered no good on the farm
are those selected for sale. Very few
them for market. Fowls to be fitted
for market should be more closely con-
fined and fed with view Of fattening
them. They should have no exercise,
as exercise necessitates more food and
toughens the flesh Three weeks is a
long time for fattenirg fowls. When
they have been fattened as they should
be the buyer, if he knows his business,
viii pay more for fowls that have been
Wen fattened than he will for those
which have been selected haphazard.
Corn is the grain usually employed in
fatteniDg poultry for the market. This
is very good food for this purpose,
but corn meal will be found better. 1t
is more economical and the fattening
process is carried on better by the use
Of corn meal. They will fatten quickly
and nicely since it is easily digested.
The fattening process is not a natural
one, hence it should be shortened as
much as possible.

THE NEW CORN CROP.

The corn crop is now where some
reasonable estimates as to its guam
tity may be made. Careful authori-
ties, after looking over the big field
cannot report a bumper crop. Early in
the season the enormous area and the
promising condition justified eXpecta-
tions of a record breaking crop, and
that is what we have in certain \scc-
tions; but in a good sized area of the
corn belt drOuth has materially shoet-
ened the yield. Probably 1000, 900, 900
to 1900, 600, coo bushels is where the conn
mercial estimates will rest, or not very
far from the official figure Of last year,
2,97S, 900, 900 bushels.
The coming years requirements are
great. Old corn is practically out of
the way. and the consumption of the
new crop begins early. Feeding will
again be on a liberal scale. Everything
points to heavy feeding Of all kinds
Of live stock during the coming yea-.
Foreign trade does not seem to be af-
fected by prices. and a liberal move
ment abroad may be anticipated All
things considered prices for corn dur
ing the coming year promise to be fav-
orable to the producer who turns kii
crop into cash at the elevator.

WATER FOR MILK COWS.

The Geneva experiment station
flaims to have ascertained that cows
in full milk need four and thrae-ffth
pounds of water c5r each pound CT
milk they yield AS records have been
made bU Holsteln cows. or one at least,
af over 100 pounds per day, does this
,nei1h that she took about sixty gal
Ions of water a day? We can scarcely
credit it, although we know that green
grass or ensilage contains a large
amount of water. but we think rot
enough to bring her daily allowance
up to sixty gallons a day. even though
she was fed en- the most succulent food.
If our memory serves us rightly, when
we had q dairy herd the cows which
gave the most milk were not the ones
that drank most heartily at the trough.
When the water was very cold, or
when there was ice in the trough, the
ones that drank the most freely were
the ones that shrank in their milk end
the dry cows. but those which gave
milk continuously were not hearty
drinkers in fall or winter. Will they
not see if they cannot revise those
figures little or acknowledge excep-
tions to the rule?

RICHNESS IN MILK.

When there is a near prospect Of a
tablished, it is of some interest to
learn the conclusions reached bearing
on the question as to some of the fac
tors determining the richness Of milk
by c. D. Smith, after five years study,
and noted in the proceedings of the
Society for Promoting Agricultural
Science The conclusions in question
are:
First-A cow yields as rich milk as
4 heifer as she will as a mature cow.
Second-Thc milk is as rich in the
first month of the period of lactation
as it will be later, except perhaps DUR
ing the last few weeks of the milk flow,
when the cow is rapidly drying off.
Third-There is little difference in
seasons as TO the quality of the milk.
While the cows are al pasture the milk
is neither richer nor poorer, on the
average, than the milk yielded when
the cows were on winter feed.
Fourth-The milk Of a fair sized
dairy herd varies little in composition
from day to day, and radical varia-
tions in this respect should be viewed
with suspicion.
Practical men might do worse than
study these conclusions and express
their opinions thereupon. We would
draw attention on our part to the con-
clusion regarding sameness in quality
Of winter fed and pastured milk.

Hawthorne's Greatest Heroine.

| W.D, Howels, in Harper's Bazar.
If we reduce the question which is
Hawthorne's greatest heroine to a
choice between Hester Prynne and
Aenobia, must give my voice for
Zeuobia, Few heroines survive so far
beyond their story, and remain in a
sort so fully a part of experience as
she; l know of no other in Anglo Sax
on fiction, and only three or four out
side of it. She is not very great or
noble character. She has moments of
being rather hard and Jealous with
Priscilla and rather nasty to Cover
dale, who doubtless deserves it: but
she is largely planned and generous
ly built. She has, as l have owned a
touch of vulgarity, and we are allow
ed to suspect her of lawless and suf-
iiciently foolish fancy. She is a half
caste literary talent, and some of her
ideals are apparently tawdry; but she
is very woman soul; what she does
and suffers is 10y the law of her wom-
an hood, which in her death as in her
life asserts its self in defeat so cruel
as to leave the reader with a lasting
pang for her.
