Sweaters Are in Favor.

Sweaters will be worn this winter
for all occasions, except when milady
wishes to be very dressy. There is no
more desirable article of dress for all
manner OF outdoor sports In cold
weather. They are also useful to wear
under jackets and listers during the
zero weather that swoops down upon
US from Medicine Hat once In a while
during the winter. The name, hith
erto, has been against them. The very
word sweater called up visions of o
clumsy. ill-fitting garment, ungraceful
and unbecoming. which made the
finest figure hook like the worst and
the worst look worse than ever. OF
late. however. these blouse sweaters
and vests lave been SO improved In
appearance that they now are really
pretty and as useful as they are be
coming.

affair as ones individual inclination
may dictate. Materials and trimmings
which would be most unpleasantly con
spicuous il worn outside the home cir.
Gle may be employed in fashioning the
house gown. One of the shops Is
showing richly embroidered silk gar
ment, sort of Iunic. with collarless
neck and half-long sleeves. The color
is dull red, time-faded and little
stained. The embroidery which trims
this garment Is a gorgeous mingling of
colors, with little bits of mirrors in

POISONING oophers.

Pocket-gophers are easily poisoned
They are very fond OF common pota
toes. sweet potatoes. apples, raisins
and prunes, says ID. E. Lantz OF the
Kansas station. The presence Of
strychnine. arsenic or other poisons
does not seem to deter them from
eating the food; but IL the poison Is
sweetened they seem to eat II more
readily. In summer IT may be desir
able to take the trouble TO sweeten
the poison. but in the fall and early
spring II does not seem worth while
TO do this. The poisoned food being
to the burrows below the
surface. there Is no danger OF poison
ing the stock. II might be well, how.
ever. not to let swine run in the alfalfa
fields for time after the poison has
been put out. The following method
OF introducing the poison is recon.
mended: Cut the potatoes or other
food. into pieces not more than three.

No digging with a spade or other
hard labor is necessary. An expe

to many acres Of alfalfa In day; and

BOSTON HOLDS WIDOW RECORD.
State Official Collects Statistics for
French seientist-Their Lot Hard.

State Official Collects Statistics for
French seientist--Their Lot Hard.
A Boston state Official who has been
investigating the subject for Prof.
Friedrich Printing OF Paris, has dis
covered that Boston has more widows
In proportion to its population, than
any other city in America, even Chi
cago. Philadelphia. New York and
other large centers. The young
widow, he says. Is one of the most
unfortunate of beings. and not at all
the gay butterfly which popular fancy
has pictured.
Prof. Prinzing has collected a re-
markable group of statistics which
show that poverty sorely Expresses
the widow. and that she is more sub
ject to insanity, consumption, copiiict
with the law and death than her mar
ried sister. All these woes fall more
heavily on the young widow. DR.. Prin-
zing's opinion Is that the state should
make provision Tor the support Of the
widowed and their children, directly.
instead OF indirectly through hospitals
and insane asylums.
There are $500 600 widows In every
$4,000. 900 Of population. Of whom 400,-
600 have absolutely no income.

Horses in Winter.

Stephen w. Benson says: Horses
are very much like men; give them
useful employment the year round
andrthey are all the better for it. |
ind on close observation that the
horses We work through the winter
are the horses that can stand the
rough usage of summer the best
Hence, we give our horses all the EN-.
ployment We can, taking care not TO
lower their condition In flesh, but
rather to increase their flesh ready
Tor the summers work. This leaves
their muscles, shoulders and constitu'
ton generally in much better state
than II they we're idle. Naturally they
are looked after better as they are
inder the eve of the man more and
much less liable to accidents than
horses running idle. Employment We
ind for them In different ways, such
as drawing wood, taking manure to
the field. moving feed stun or any
thing that We can find to do that will
give us profit enough for mans
wages and board, and as for the little
extra feed they take feel satisfied
we can charge that to profit in the
extra work they can do through the
summer.
The Principal feed we use for our
work horses Is timothy hay. oat
sheaves and oat straw. In the morn.
Ing we generally give them a good
forkful Of oat straw with little hay
on top. by way Of relish At noon
we give feed OF hay and in the even
Ing another forkful OF straw with q
little hay. and at their last feed for
the night we clean out of their man
gers any refuse straw which goes for
bedding. and give them an oat sheaf.
As for the wild hay I do not like IL.
and would rather trust to the o2t
straw for the wintering Of horses.

wild hay. and the horses will stand

Is as healthy as the oat straw. Our

for horse not working hard, as one
food helps to digest the other. AT
night about four times week we
give them feed OF boiled barley
Scalded chop think quite as good,
but we generally boil it. We give
very much the same feed to the
horses we cannot work as TO those
we do, with the exception that at
noon they do not get hay and oats

ten o'clock. letting them feed at IL
