Using Mineral Ferti1izers.

When liberal applications of potash

is better to put them on as early in
the spring as possible, and work it we'll

before the seed is put in. Upon
heavy clay soil it would probably be
even better to put it on in the fall.
BY the early application it becomes

no danger of its injuring the germina-

Is used for nitrogen this may be put on
at the same time as the other fertiliz-
ers. as in the cold ground it will take
some time fer it to decay enough to
make its nitrogen available. There
would be very little if any loss of nitro
gen. But in using nitrate of soda wait
until the seed is put in, or even until
the plants are up. and then scatter it
around them, not getting it on them
when they are wet lest it should burn
For a crop that needs the whole sea-

two light applications of nitrate of

about half grown, than one heavy one.

Eggs by the Pound.

There has been much talk about sell
ing eggs by the pound. In and around
some of orr larger cities there are
many sold in that way. but they are not
sold in the shell. Cracked eggs and the
larger ones among the dirty eggs. il
fresh. are broken out, and the white
and yolk well beaten together. Some
packers use churn 10 thoroughly mix
them, which is important. MS If they are
put up just as they come from the shell
the yolk becomes dry and mealy. They
are then frozen solid and kept in cold
storage until wanted. They are packed
In tins of from ten to forty pounds each.
AMI of course the demand for them
comes principally from the bakers. for
cakes and similar uses. 1t is said that
4 pound of the frozen egg is equal to
ten eggs of the average size. They will
not keep sweet long after they are
thawed out, SO that it is important that
the user knows how many pounds he
needs at one time, and opens no more
than that. Packers who are careful to
avoid putting in any tainted or spotted
eggs get about y to IL cents pound
while other grades not as carefully Sc
lected have to be sold at 1C cents. We
are wondering whether this plan could
be used successfully in putting up
smaller cans for family use If it can

with many cloth suits and promises to
be quite popular
Egyptian embroidery is worn extensive
~ in Paris not only on street dresses but
some of the new evening wraps employ
it to quite an extent.
Some of the most fashionable mid-win-

and ivy. They are usually made of tule
with the berries tackled on.
Suits of corduroy, which is an inexpen-

liked, and very much worn, by young
matrons and girls. These suits answer
for all but extremely formal occasions.
A handsome bolero shown in one of
the shops is of broad tail fur, very tight
fitting. The collar and front are lined
with ermine and the jacket is trimmed
and decorated with velvet ribbon and gold
buttons
So many blouses and shirt waists are
worn that the belt is an important adj

Feedinc sheen Prniitnb1v.

After several years of experience in
the use of corn fodder for sheep it has
beel found profitable when made a
small part of the ration and fed after
shredding. Fed without cutting or
shreddng it is simply wasted. In
some sections sheep men have
used shredded corn slower entirely as
roughage. but this plan has not al
ways worked well. BY using good hay,
clover or timothy, every alternate day,
with the shredded corn slower the re-
suits have been satisfactory, especial
ly when the sheep had roots once
day and were on varied ration of
grain, oats. bran ana cornneal 1t is
not intended that the corn slower, even
if shredded, shall supply more than
the roughage, for the grain. and root
feed must be liberal to carry the sheep
through the winter in good shape. The
cost in money or labor is7 .shredding
the corn slower for any stock is con-
sidered offset by the added value in
manure.

noticeable. As first put forward the
rule was for dark furs in the street, with
white and light coiored ones indoors. In
general this still holds, but a deal of err
mine is seen in street get-ups, often in
snowy revers and collars. Indoors more
of ermine is seen, and deal of miniver

as early in the winter, and long and three
quarter coats. jackets and etons now are
equally stylish unless it is that the three
quarter garment is most approved for
carriage wear
Neck pieces are as varied as ever, and
as stylish, but this last applies only to
the better grades. There is offered a ire
mendous quantity of inferior neck pieces,
and many others of a fair quality but too
small for present standards. Long, thick
boas, preferably of black bear or whole
animals, like the blue fox the artist has
pictured here, are the really stylish
forms. Muffs are large and plain or
trimmed showily with lace or tails. Muff

Gninen Fowls.

Guinea fowls have many good quail
ties We should find them among every
flock of poultry. The guinea fowl can
not, of course. supplant or even rival
the chicken. but there is no more deli
cious or palatable dish than a young
guinea fowl, and the eggs, though
small, are very rich and delicate. The
greatest objection to them is their wild
nature, which prompts them to seek the
woods in search of nests. The young
birds will leave the nest almost as soon
as dry, and unless the mother and
young are confined in a tight coop the
tiny things will stray of and die They
are tender until two weeks old. after
which time. if protected at night, they
grow rapidly, and require practically
no attention. They must have free
range. and when given it will gather all
they require to eat, and during winter
weather they need no specialcare since
they do not begin to lay until spring,
anyway. They are not subject to any
of the many diseases which ahlict
chickens, and really merit the attention
of farmers and poultrymen
