Keeping Old Hay.

We used to say that old hay well
kept in the barn was better than money
at interest, but the following para
graph from an exchange leads us to
think that it is possible to keep 1t too
long for profit. farmer of Laconia,
N. H. has been feeding out hay to his
stock this spring which was harvested
in the spring of 1S5T-forty- years
ago This hay is yet clean and bright
being in every way as handsome and
perfect as when put into the barp. We
do not remember the price of hay in
1857, but about 1867 we sold hay of
our own curing at about $50 per toll
But if that hay was worth but $50
been sold and the money placed at
interest it would have bought great
deal of hay this spring, while at COM
pound interest the price of n ton would
have been enough by this time to have
paid for pretty good New Hanip-
sl:re farm While it is not good
idea to sell out so closely on non
perishahle produce as to be obliged to
buy again before another crop can be
harvested. we think forty-five years is
too long TO hold a crop. We used to
like to sell when we could get fair
price and just retain what we thought
might be needel at home.-American

Costumes made of heavy wash fab
rics are called tub dresses and well
deserve their name, as they look just as
smart after many trips to the laundry
as they do when first made. Linens
are quite deliberately embroidered in
merceriZed cottons that have beauti-
full gloss, and this kind of decoration
is very attractive.
The skirt shown in the large illus
tration forms part of a tub dress. 1t is
made of pale pink linen embroidered
iii dark red The polka dots are very
large at the hem of each tlounce and
grow smaller toward the top.
The skirt is shaped with narrow
front and side cores and wide backs
that are fitted smoothly around the
waist and over the hips without darts.
The fulness of the centre back is ar
ranged in an underlying pleat at each
side of the closing. The pleats are fiat
ly pressed and present Il perfectly
plain appearance. The hounces are
of circular shaping and slightly full at
the top, where they are gathered and
arranged Oh the skirt. They are mar
row in front and graduate to n consd-
erable depth at the back, flaring smart
ly around the bottom. This abrupt
flare, produced by the tlounces, is seen
in almost all the new skirts OF the
season. A band of lace finishes the
upper fiounce.
The mode may be stylishly developed
in any lightweight cloth, taffeta. foul
ard, peau de crepe, organdie, lawn or
swiss with lace or ribbon ruchings for
decorations.
To make the skirt for miss four
teen years will require three and three.

Protecting Seed Corn From Crows.

After Smelling the corn we place it in
some dish and pour boiling water over
1t, meanwhile stirring it. The dish
must have perforated bottom so that
the hot water will drain off quickly
and not kill the corn, as it will do if
the corn is left standing in it. We use
an old dishpan with holes punched in
the bottom. This makes a very good
dish, as it is shallow, being preferable
to deeper one. After this process
take some coal tar. from two to four
tablespoonfuls to the bushel, and stir
it thoroughly into the warm corn. II
the corn is warm and is stirred long
enough, the tar will coat each kernel
perfectly. Be careful not to get on
too much. The corn may now be
spread in the sun to dry. Flour or
middlings OF in fact any fine substance
may be stirred into 1t to prevent stick

Don't Negleo. the Manure Heap.

During the warm days the manure
heap is liable to become overheated
and lose large share of its valuable
ammonia. Should this condition occur
the best plan to pursue is to open the
manure heap in several places with a
crowbar and pour in cold water in or
der to arrest fermentation. The manure
will lose over one-half its value if the
fermentation proceeds until the ma
serial becomes 'fire-fanged," and care
full farmers for that reason prefer to
handle the heap by shoveling it over,
throwing the coarse and bulky portions
to the centre. Absorbent materials,
such as cut straw or even earth, will
serve well to arrest the process of fer.
mentation, and as the admission of air
conduces to the production of heat the
heap should be firmly trampled and
packed after it has been forked over
and made into new heap. During
the busy season farmers are prone to
neglect the manure heap, but in so
doing they are liable to permit large
proportion of its most valuable con.
stituents to escape into the atmos-
phere.
