OLD WAYS MUST GO.
The Farmer Who Does Not Adopt the Advanced Methods of the Day
 Is Sure to Fail.

The man who is engaged in agricul- tural pursuits at the present day is ex- pected to keep up and advance with tue agricultural progress of the world. lie must dispense with the old metnooS and adopt the new and later inventions. We cannot raise and fed our stock as our forefathers did hundred years ago because we are advancing and land IS more closely taken up; consequently we must work more on the order or the ln- tensive system. We know it is hard TOT some farmers, who have been taught and raised to do thing certain way to change to the better methods. It seems to them that 1t is wrong, and ott- en they cannot be blamed for feeling so. But we must gradually free ourselves from these ideas. All the other depart ments of the business world are advance ing, and why should not agriculture ad- vance with it? The whole race of hu- manity is depending upon agriculture for living and the trade should not be thought any the less of by anyone. The man who is engaged in other pursuits
  must understand that whatever he eats comes from him. If the farming class does not advance with the rest of the world it will be to it's own loss. It IS not natural that we should be satisfied to work in the same road we did years ago, or even one year ago. We should strive to do better this year and make an advancement wherever possible. The best, easiest and most practical way to advance ourselves is given in one sen- tence, namely, Read plenty of agricul- tural literature and apply the facts | gained to actual experience. The farm ing world would be far behind where it is now if it were not for the help that has | been given us by farm literature. Every farmer should try to make some im- provement and advancement every day. Never let your business get the best of you, but get the best of it, and you can best do this by advancing with the rest of the world.-E J. Waterstripe, in Epit- omist.

 the Mexican border as fast as
 his horse could carry him. The horse in question was an excellent one, yet the possession of it made Dick extremely uncomfo. table, not to say nervous. For the horse had belonged to Scotty Farrell until the evening before, when Dick Rppropri- ated it without the formality of ask ing the owners permission. Such eccentricities are not looked upon as jocular in the southwest. Dick learned that lynching party was being quietly organized. Hence his haste to get out of United States territory. Now the foothills were only a short distance ahead. Dick was pretty certain that if he could get good start among the hills he

These stands are eight to ten feet high, and have two atomizers upon the top of each one, which will discharge 20 to 25 gallons of water in the form of a heavy mist each per hour, and give a total of 2,000 to 2,500 gallons each ten hours. The water is turned on only at night, or, if the weather is very warm at six p. m., and turned off at seven a. m. Thrown out'so fine, the water is buoyed up by the air, and drifts more as a heavy dew than as rain. The number of atomizers may be doubled if desired, or only used each other night. I have found 2,000 gallons a night ample for the finest plant growth.-S. S. Boyce, in Rural New Yorker

 Smart simplicity is the keynote of the very stylish yachting costume. The material is a blue and white striped flannel and the numerous sections Of the skirt are held together With fancy stitches in new and effective style, and these are discontinued some inches rom the bottom, so that the fan-shaped pleats may have full play over the feet. This novel shirt is cleverly constructed to get a maximum of smartness, and yet to nreserye the simple outlines which are obviously necessary to any gown that IS intended for yachting and seaside wear, when breezy sou'westers are more or 1 less the order of the day, and this point will no doubt be appreciated by any l keen sailor.

could throw off his pursuers, who, while no doubt strenuous in their chase, were not yet in sight.
 Scarcely had he ridden over the first slight ridge of the foothills than Dick saw sight which filled him with a good deal of wonder ment. Ahead, stretched out on the ground, was a pony. It had evident ly twisted it's leg and fallen on the treacherous ground. A short dis tance from the pony was a girl, a much frightened girl, who was run ming as fast as possible. At Dick S hail she looked around in terror and then gave a gasp of relief as she noticed that Dick was an American. She stopped running and waited for him to ride up. As Dick halted his horse the girl broke into torrent of entreaty.
 "Phe Indians! the Indians!" she gasped. "The Yaquis have made a raid over the border. They are on my trail now. Can't you save me? You know" she added, her voice bEGNhAuR, ACW AhSN N0AACh they capture. And my pony has broken it's leg"
 Dick drew in his breath with a little whistle. He did know how the Yaquis treated women. But they treated men the same way, their course of treatment beginning with burning splinters and ending with even more unpleasant things. But, while Dick Carter was far from be- ing a good man, it never occurred to him to ride on in safety and leave the frightened girl to the mercy of the Yaquis. A second later, the girl mounted behind him, he was making the best of speed towards the sec ond ridge of the foothills.
 But when the second ridge was reached one thing was certain. The horse could not long carry double over that rough ground. Dick halt ed at the top of the ridge and looked back. To the north could be seen a faint cloud of dust That was from the vigilantes, following fast on his own trail. To the west was a second and larger dust cloud. Dick knew

Two lovely felt gowns are pictured. That on the left is made of hand-painted | chiffon with graduated rows or emerald green ribbon velvet on the flounces and bodice, and the broad-brimmed picture hat is trimmed with pale pink roses and foliage. The pretty frock on the right is made of embroidered chiffon mounted on pale blue silk with handsome real lace trimmings round the cape and at the bottom of the fiounce, and the waist band is of folded panne velvet. The picture hat is of creamy lace with frill hanging down over the edge of the brim, and it is trimmed with rosettes of soft blue satin ribbon
 How enthusiastic Dame Fashion has become about the pelerine and every thing of the pelerine shape Certainly I think the fluffy feather pelerines are much prettier than the flat stoles of the past season. These are now giving place to the pelerine collar of mousseline de soie and chiffon and to the lace scarf draped in this fashion.
 We are still remaining faithful to the blouse in lace, guipure, net, or what we Will, worn with a pelerine collar or fichu to correspond in fabric with the skirt This is pretty way of connect ing the two
 l have lately seen a charming spotted muslin-a white ground with gradu- ated, red spots-made with bodice of hne guipure and gauged peler1ne of spotted muslin to match the skirt, trim med with Oriental red embroidery This was worn with an alfred, flat sailor hat. It would look charming at Ranelagh or Birmingham and was very fresh and dainty. The same model is being copied for a friend of mine in green, foished with lovely mauve glace waist-band Fly the way blue is a color which is very much in favor and is produced in lovely shades, though I still wish fair haired beauties would leave it severely alone and take to pale yellow shades is it's stead. But this does not alter the fact that pale blue is lovely in itself. par ticularly when accompanied by tinted lace. It takes beautiful sheen in linen and the new coarse canyases.
 Practical frocks in biscuit, yellow and ivory shades are mostly trimmed with black taffeta, But these bizarre con- trasts are not effective unless carried out with consummate skill.
 It is in full evening dress that real artists can exercise to the full their fancy in the mixing of beautiful colors. The craze for lace is by no means abating, in fact, it seems to be increasing, and really wonderful limitations are pro- duced

WHEN HOGS ARE SICK.
Reliable Medical Treatment R@x a Number of Ailments That Are
 Quite Common.

It is better to give medicine to swine in food. But if one wants to drench. fasten piece of rubber hose securely in a bottle containing the medicine. Throw the pig, put stick in the mouth, and allow the fluid to slowly run down the throat.
 Inflammation of nostrils, or cold in the head, is caused by exposure of some kind; a cold. wet pasture, want of dry shelter at night, sudden change from a warm nest to outside cold, etc. A good warm mash, with ginger in it, will help in such cases, with good care. If fever ish, give a dose of epson salts, followed with 10 to 15 grain doses of nitrate potassium
 If your pigs feet get sore, give dose of epsom salts, and follow with ten grains of nitrate of potassium two or three times daily, in feed, which will cool the system and afford relief to the feet. Proud flesh between the toes should be touched once with ter chloride of antimony, using a feather. If necessary, repeat the third day. To heal the sore use chloride of zinc. one dram to one pint Of water. Keep the pig warm and dry.
 If pigs are seriously constipated give castor oil direct and not to the sows. But continue to give the sows oil-meal in their food. Feed to prevnet consti- patton, which is easily done.-Midland Farmer.

WARTS ON SHOW CATTLE.
Two Different Ways of Removing Them from Different Parts of
 the Animals Body.

Many breeders of show cattle are often troubled with warts growing in very conspicuous places on their prize animals" says Prof l.. A. Cottrell for merly of the Agricultural experiment station in Kansas. We had much trouble with the pure blood stock, and several successful methods were en- ployed in their extermination. In order to experiment on taking off warts a Red Poll heifer was selected on which the warts were so thick that it was i'm possible to place one's hand on her with out coming in contact with several large growths. We tried two different ways On her head and shoulders we applied castor oil-well rubbed in-twice daily for a week. Shortly after each appIica- ton a portion of the wart would scuff off, and in two weeks the warts were en- tirely cured without any pain to the and hips of the same heifer we used concentrated acetic acid, applying it with a fountain pen filler, and soaking the wart up thoroughly after applying grease around the root to keep the acid from eating the flesh About twelve hours after the operation the warts could be pulled out easily. This was the quicker way, but it caused considerable pain and irritation, and it is accom- panied by some danger of the acid being dropped upon the skin and thus causing trouble"

to attractive, round babyish faces, but absolutely at variance with hard and strongly marked features. There is very little variety in this class of best headgear, unless we turn to the Grams borough and Romney shapes at colossal prices.
 There is always a certain amount of danger when pale colors are worn on the head, such as green, mauve, etc. They may be beautiful in themselves, but they are trying even to pretty faces and good complexions. So, taking it all round, darker brims should be universal ly de rigueur.

IntentinnI Morms in Horr.

Recently while at the Iowa Agricul- tural college the writer noticed the ground in the hog yard filtered with excreted intestinal worms. The keeper explained that he had just given the swine their semi-annual dose of worm medicine He said that it was his obser- vation that hogs were frequently sick as a result of intestinal worms and that many times diseases arising from worms were named cholera. This would the more likely be the case, as large num- Der of hogs might be sick at the same time from the same cause. This cause of disease is too frequently overlooked, es- pecially by the farmer that has only few hogs and gives them but little att tention. When a hog eats well and yet remains stunted it may be guessed that worms are at least partial capse.- Farmers Review.

 trying, and on the whole l shouiu say that the best models are not universally becoming. To begin wlth' they are extraordinarily fiat and wide, (though in the early part of the season they were high and narrow) and think they are rather apt to dwarf the head and shoulders when worn in company with the sloping pelerine.
 Most of the toques and the ordinary practical models are of the wide, flat, improved sailor shape, simply trimmed with wreath of flowers. They have, of course, all the chic of elegant simplicity and suit a piquant French face, but the real artist will find, when viewing them from the side and back, that the lines are not quite right.
