Gold trimmings of all kinds are fea-
lures of autumn gowns.
There promises to be great revival
of popularity for Chantilly lace.
The prevailing fancy for black and
white as a combination is now extend
ed to neckwear.
Rumor has it that white stockings
and the old-fashioned strap shoe is
the coming mode for foot gear.
Collarettes of lace and mousseline
de sole, pleated, with long scarf ends,
are very much in evidence, and they
are worn in place of the popular fancy
boas.
Blue in varying shades-ciel, tur-
quoise. tendre, hyacinthe and the rest
is perhaps the reigning color of the
season, possibly because it lends itself
so we'll to combination with the omni-
present black velvet.
A pretty sleeve for soft materials is
laid in a series of vertical tucks from
the shoulder to a little above the ell
bow, where it swells out into a soft
puff over the elbow, and is confined
in a little bandlike cuff.
Distinct bodices are to find favor in
the evening. A pretty red silk bodice
has the silk carried across the figure
in folds and is trimmed with a deep
black sash and soft, pailletted tulle
about the neck, the sleeves set in soft
puffs.
New cut steel buckles are most of
them lon, and come in variety of
shapes. Some of them are made to
stand upright and have only one end
intended to be visible. This is a
pretty ornamental point from which
the rest of the buckle broadens out.
Persian emOroideries come to the
front more and more and are partlc-
ularly lovely upon the soft white
woolens. 1t is said that this trim
ming will be great feature of winter
modes and appear conspicuously in
the tailor gowns which are to depart
more than ever from the severity of
the old-time tailor gown.

Raising Whey Calves,

In raising calves on whey avoid two
extremes; do not feed it too sweet or
too sour. 1t should be moderately
acid, nothing more. Insist on your
cheese maker keeping a perfectly clean
storage whey vat. and if he fails to
clean and said it every day, take a
clean barrel to the factory for your
portion of whey. l have known farm
ers to go to the factory to get sweet
whey every forenoon, for immediate
feeding to calves. but the young ami
mails did not particularly thrive on it,
The majority feed it to their calves
when the whey is twenty-four hours
old. 1t depend on the receptacle the
swill has been kept in, whether it is
then in proper state for best results.
If it has been stored in filthy whey
vat or barrel, it is unfit to feed to any
domestic animal. In hot weather even
after daily washing and scalding of the
storage tub, care should be taken that
the whey does not get too sour Keep
it in cool, airy place Above all. do
not depend on whey alone for the sue
cessful rearing of calves. If you do.

Irrigation Rules.

The Oceanside (Cal.y Weekly Blade
prints the following seven irrigation
rules:
l. The more cultivation the less
water is required.
.. Irrigation burrows should gener-
ally not be over three inches deep.
8. Do not let the water lie around
the stems of plants.
4. Do not oyer-irrigate; two thor
ough soakings a month re usually suf-
ficient.
5. Do not water trees or vines when
in blossom, nor until the fruit has
properly set.
6. Irrigate preferably on cloudy days
or at night.
Z. Do not apply water when the soil
is hot.

Hints For the Dairylnan.


Care is the great essential in dairy
ing.
Millet is good to increase the flow of
milk.
Do not use beef cows if you want to
succeed in dairying.
The feeding and milking should be
done at strictly regular Intervals.
Milk should be removed to the Dairy
room as soon as drawn from the cows.
Observe and enforce the utmost
cleanliness about the cows, stables and
dairy utensils.
The time to dehorn a calf with any
chemical dehorner is before the horns
grow through the skin.
Wheat is practically of the same
value as barley or corn, pound for
pound, for feed in the dairy.
ANY extremes of temperature in the
milk or cream, either freezing or heat
ing. are injurious to the butter made
from it.
One of the greatest triumphs in but
ter making is to produce an article on
a high grade, and have it so without
any variation from quality from day
to day.
If a ''baby" separator is used the
milk ought to run through it as soon
as convenient after leaving the udder.
and the cream be afterward properly
matured.
Pastures, yards and all places where
mich COWS are kept should be free
from decaying substances or anything
that will produce noXious smells.
These will reappear in the milk if they
are present.
First-class butter should not carry
any more curd than can possibly be
helped. Its presence renders deterior-
alton more rapid. Salt is a good pre-
sentative, but the poorer grades must
always be avoided. as they are detri-
mental to the keeping qualities of the
butter as well as the flavor and appear

Simplicity in gowns is the cry for
the future, while the most elaborate
ones are to be seen. The gowns one
sees are ruffled and tucked and are
masses of insertion and putting and
lace. Yet the gowns to come, it is
said. Will be simple, and already there
are low, round-cut necks with which
our grandmother's lace and embroid-
cred collars can be worn, and there are
to be large sleeves. There is no doubt
that the sleeves are TO be full as the
many designs in puffed sleeves now in

Treatment of sheep with scab.

Careful experiments have been made
for the purpose of ascertaining how
long a time should intervene between
the first and second dipping of sheep
for the cure of scab. Thus it was as
certained that it requires four days
for a newly egg to hatch, and
the entire time elapsing from egg to
egg would be fourteen or fifteen days.
AS there would be eggs il all stages of
incubation upon the sheep when it is
dipped for the cure of scab, second
dipping should follow not sooner than
five nor later than ten days after the
first dipping"

wolnanhood in japan.

In Japan the position of woman is
higher than in any other Asiatic
country. THE Great Learning for
celebrated novelist, Kalbara, gives the
ideas that have long prevailed in
Japan. 4 few extracts from Professor
Chamberlain translation will show
their general spirit. The only quail
ties that benefit woman are gentle
obedience, chastity, mercy and quiet
ness.
at is the chief duty of q girl living
in the parental house to practice tilial
piety toward her father and mother.
But after marriage her chief duty is
to honor her fatherin-law and mother
in-law, to honor them beyond her own
father and mother, to love and rever-
ence them with all ardor, and to tend
them with every practice of filial piety.
A woman has no particular lord. She
must look to her husband as her lord,
and must serve him with all worship

five worst maladies that affllct the fe-

The Apairy in Winter.

1t is not so much what we should do
in the apiary in midwinter, as it is
what we should not do. The bees may
have been badly neglected in autumn,
and need attention to save them. Yet
we are debarred from supplying their
wants owing to the condition of the
weather. Bees should be in the very
midst of their quiet slumber with good
and ample stores surrounding the clus-
ter in ready reach at this season of
the year. if we are to count on them
as profitable colonies the following
spring. Ii is better to let some colo
MES starve out and die rather than to
undertake to go through the apiary to
supply to any extent provisions, and
thus arouse the bees to activity dur
ing mid-winter Such untimely moles-
tation will usually be followed by in
jury rather than any good. Not only
does it endanger the welfare of bees
by feeding in mid-winter, but for the
same reason we should not in any way
do any work with them that will arouse
them to activity during this period.
Bees when in good condition are in the
most quiet dormant state during the
mid-winter months, and nothing should
occur with them to change this condi-
ton. Opening the hives, or handling
them in any way, should be avoided
even if the weather is fine and they are
