Harvesting the Hay Crop.

It is a very desirable thing to be
able to haul all the hay into the barn
the same day it is cut. The worri-
ment and anxiety consequent upon
the liability of a storm before morn
ing are thus avoided. and experience
has taught that hay having no more
than three or four hours sun will
come out in the spring perfectly
sweet and in fine condition for the
cattle. In adopting this plan it is
well to keep the hay constantly
stirred with a tedder. There has long
been a fear of putting hay into the
barn that contains noticeable
amount of water, but if it is proper
ly packed by being evenly distributed
over the NOW, each forkful trodden
upon and the barn kept closed as
much as possible the result will prob
ably be very gratifying.

well, I'll see." And he bought a
brickyard, chartered a few sloops,
and in a short time had the bricks piled
up where they would do the most good.
Then he went to the contractor, who
had another excuse.
Cant get any men, hey? said
Schwab. "WeI, I'll see about that,
too" So he posted off to the offices
of the unions, found out that they were
not upon strike, but were hindered
by the building material tie-up. He
told the desired number to be on hand
at work hour the next morning, and
went back to the contractor.
'Now," said Schwab, complacently,
'.thei brick are there and the men will
be there tomorrow morning; If you
aren't there too, you know the con-
sequences"
The contractor, no longer protected
by his "strike clause" did not dare re-
fuse. How he explained his going to
work to his fellow contractors, ] don't
know.

THE FARMER DAIRYMAN.
II He Raises His Own Feed He Can
Make His Cows Pay a Hand
Profit.

Perhaps nine-tenths of the dairy
products of this country are pro-
duced from farms where dairying is
but one of several branches of agri-
culture carried on, and it is best that
TINS should be so, for mixed farming
IS the most profitable system, and
dalrylng in connection with the
growing of field crops and other
stock IS best for the land as well as
for the man who owns it, says Dairy
and Creamery.
There are farms in this country
which have actually been impover-
lshed and very much reduced in value
because for long series of years
cows have been kept on them and
the milk from them sold to cities or
condensing factories or taken off the
farm for some other purpose.
There is a vast difference between
selling the butter fat to a creamery
and returning the skim-milk to the
farm and selling the whole milk.
But very little fertility is taken off
the farm when butter alone is sold.
air, the elements being taken up by
growing plants and transformed into
feed for the cows and then returned
in the way of butter fat
The mineral elements in the milk
and the nitrogen in it in the shape
OF protein are the things we want to
keep on the farm, and but a trifing
quantity of these is carried away
when butter fat alone is sold
The farmer who keeps a few COWS
and raises his own feed is the one
who gets the best price for his feed
and the most money from his COWS,
providing he sells only the butter fat.
This being true, it follows that
every such dairy farm should plan
to produce on his own farm as large
a quantity of the best feed he can,
and the capacity Of the farm will in
crease in the course of years in eX-
actly the same ratio that the farmer
takes advantage of the means at his
con- mand to make his farm more fer
tile and his crops greater.
We have not yet reached that
looked for period when we can keep
a cow on every acre Of land. but it
is entirely within the limits of posi-
bihty to do this.
The land should be drained The
farmer who has a well-drained farm
is, to a large extent, independent
of abnormal weather conditions.
whether it be too wet or to dry.
Well-drained land produces a better
crop in any kind of year than does
land not drained.

Milk Exposed to OdOrs.

Besides bad lamentations, there is
another cause of poorly favored but
ter, says Oscar Err. This comes from
cream or milk having been exposed to
foul odors, which are absorbed and
given to the butter. The theory that
milk does not absorb odors when
warm and cooling has long been
abandoned. Experiments show that
milk in that condition is even more
susceptible to odor than in any other
state. In the ripening process this
odor can be partly eliminated by
aeration or by pasteurization of the
cream, but in case of a bad fermenta-
ton some antagonistic germ must be
added in order to check the progress
of the undesirable one. This antag-
onistic fermentation is commonly
known as a starter, and if properly
prepared contains the right kind of
favor producing bacteria.

were IN MannaJ-
tan and the Bronx $4,000 owners of
real estate, small and large. Nova
days, in spite of a considerable increase
in the Bronx, the total for the two
boroughs is only 10000.
New York land is getting to be too
much of an investment for the aver
age man to hold by himself. In one
way ownership may soon be even more
widely extended. The stock Of the big
construction trusts is on the market.
Will a man who owns a few $la0 shares
in a ''skyscraper" be held to have 'a
stake in the city" to the same extent
as one who in the cid days would have
had who owned and lived in little
frame house? There is politics as well
as finance in the query.
The case is very different in Brook.
Ign. There the number of real estate
owners, already much greater than in
old New York, is rapidly increasing.
The 'two-family house, in which the
owner occupies the ground floor and
lets the upper tenement to help pay
the interest and taxes, is so common
that the new tenement law designedly
excerpts it from its rules. The man
in the two-family house is not techni-
cally a "tenemert-dweller." The man
who pays $4,000 year rent for mag
nificent apartment on the avenue is
one, according to the law.

garments. Many a valuable dollar
might be saved from the dressmak-
er's bills if the home seamstress was
but given an idea, and this is my ex-
cuse for offering these:
Figure |. shows a long cloak of net,
which can be used either as an even
ing or carriage wrap, and at last, but
not least, as a peignoir in the au-
tumn, or the overdress of a tea
gown. This would only take 3A
yards of 45-inch net; the frills are of
a light guipure lace, which is very
effective, and can be obtained in this
width at Is per yard; IA yards would
be required.
You could substitute frills of the
net for the lace if you prefer the
former, or you might have frills of
the net with a length of lace down
the front. There are various ways
of trimming this coat. I am only Of
fering you suggestions" A large
fancy clasp, hutton or any antique
ornament you may have in your pos
session is chic finish to the drapery.
How pretty is the river or garden
hat shown in Figure IL! Quite an in
expensive net would do to make this
hat, but it should be fairly soft. Two
yards of net will be sufficient. There
is bandeau with bow of vieux rose
velvet az yards of velvet), which
can be replaced by bow of satin
ribbon, wreath of foliage, or almost
any other simple decoration you
please. The possibilities of this hat
for summer wear are many. Lace,
of course, would be even more effec-
tive. but my aim is economy.

Lime as an Insecticide.

Lime is in general use as fertilizer.
and to a limited extent, also, as an in
secticide. Testimony as to it's value is
conflicting, and this is due to its con-
dition when applied. Lime a s an in
secticide ought to be in the form Of a
dry hydrate. To shell lime Or lime
stone just enough water is TO be added
to Stake; then sift through mod
erately fine sieve and dust on the in
sects when they are wet. Only soft
bodied insects can be reached by this
substance, and the application must
be made so that the caustic properties
of the lime may have a chance. The
larvae of the potato beetle and as
paragus beetle are good subjects, and
the testimony of It's effectiveness on
the cabbage worm is not wanting.

Figure LII. you see pretty little
cravat and bow of white or cream net
inserted and trimmed with fine black
ish to any simple blouse or can be
worn inside a coat. 1t would take
about IL yards of net, five yards of
narrow lace, and 11a yards of lace in
sertion.
In Figure ". we have a quaint
design for blouse with the new
pelerine or shawl-like ends. For
this l would suggest ring spotted
net, in white Or ecru, at IS lid
per yard. In piece lace this
blouse would look equally well. It
would require 31a yards Of net
or lace, As inches wide, and you may
put as many lace insertions as you

satin would make the wide belt
Figure V. shows what is termed a
tea or coffee coat in inexpensive net,
trimmed with frills of soft lace. Two

Profit depends upon circumstances.
The hen that lays the largest number
of eggs does not always give the great
est profit. One dozen eggs in winter,
at 80 cents a dozen, permits of
greater profit than two dozen when
eggs are Is cents dozen. The sum
derived is the same, but it costs less
to produce one dozen eggs than it does
to produce two dozen, and although
the same amount of money is received
in both cases, yet the profit is not
what is derived in the gross sum, but
that which is produced above the cost;
hence, a hen is profitable according to
the season during which she lays the
greatest number, and the prices OBJ
tanned therefor. In summer, how
ever, the eggs may cost nothing if the
hens are OF a range.-Farm and Fire

GOOD ROADS IN JERSEY.
State and Counties Building Them at
the Rate of One Hundred and
Fifty Miles Year.

Good-road building is probably
making greater progress in New Jer-
sey than in any other state in the
union. Ten years ago the legislature
passed state aid bill permitting
each county to spend on road i'm
provement an amount equal to one
fourth of one per cent. of it's rata
BILE property.
In the following year four counties
out of the 20 in the state built to-
gether nearly Is miles of road. Last
year II counties built their quota Of
roads, completing during the year
nearly 1856 miles of sound, level high
ways.
Since the passage of the act more
than $1,25O,000 of the states money
has been spent on good-road build
ing and more than 700 miles of road
ways have been constructed under
the most approved modern methods.
The work is SO popular that there is
a demand to double the amount per-
mitted to be expended on the roads
under the law. The last legislature
increased the states contribution
from $4,000 to $25O,00O and the
counties met this with their own ap-
preparations.
AT present petitions to build $50
more miles of roads, at an estimated
cost of So, 404 ,851, are on file and, pro-
vided the state appropriation is lib
eral enough to meet the amount ex-
pended by the counties, in few
years all the leading roads can be
covered with gravel and stone.

grace that the finest sun-ray plating
lnsures. AS for the wonderful fairy
work of its adjoining, how can brush
or pen paint the effect of tiny folds
of crepe latticed through each other,
and held in place by elaborate stitch
ing and wee French dots of white
silk, clear set over ivory silk Burano
lace, or of lace inserted and applique,
and again as motifs and entredeuX,
and still less of the semitransparent
grace of that cleverly draped piece
of crepe, which just suggests the
waist line with such entire success!
Foulard, the dear, oldfashioned,
practical foulard which we all love,
has given place to voiles and a still
softer make of fabrics. Then for dull
days cloths, trimmed with taffeta, as
well as a frmer make of canvas, and
spotted wolfe, are greatly to the
fore.
Altogether, fashion is at it's bright
est and best just now. The only
trouble is to get sufficiently large
dress allowance. The temptations to
buy are manifold, and we all feel
inclined to overstep any moderate
banking account.
