Fashion Tips.

Silky broadcloth is used for separ-
ate waists.
Wood fiber lace in two tones trims
the rough fabrics.
Soft shades of gray and white have
won my lady's favor.
The plainest serge gown is wonder
fully touched up by collars and cuffs
of oriental embroidery.
Fashion never presented so many
contradictions.
Have a waist of Louisine or chif-
fon exactly matching your coat suit.
What woman wouldn't lose her
heart to those lovely shade plumes? :?
With her street costume the smart
girl will wear fancy waistcoat, cut
just like her brothers.
Was there ever a bargain" like
those renaissance stocks for a quar-
ter-with tabs, too?
a new mOdishness is to cut the
cloth gown out into a design showing
lace beneath.
The new angora cloth used for
coats looks much like angOra fur.
For the little maid a frock of plaid
material is always fashionable.
One of the picture hats has real

mon looking garment-and how much
more satisfaction there is in feeling
that you have a pretty, neat sack of
the latest design.
The design SHOWS a tucked yoke in
front, thus enabling one to make
dainty. pretty design without the
large collar. The sack may be worn
with or without the belt. For neat
little dressing sack that is nice
enough for afternoon wear as well as
for a morning sack this is a good
model to follow. Made up in figured
Japanese silk or challis, and using
white or plain colored material for
collar and cuffs, one fashions a most
charming design.
Cashmere, albatrOss, f1eece-lined
material and silk are suitable to the
mode.

Fashions of the Hour.

All reception frocks will be cut
very full, lying on the ground all
round and showing any amount of
stitchery. The intricacies of dress
making are greater than ever and,
despite the attempt at apparent sim
plicity, the enormous amount of de-
tail IN every frock worthy of note is
such that only experts can undertake
it with any hope of success. The
woman who can afford two or three
superior frocks has a good invest
ment, because there is so much work
in them and the materials are so
sumptuous that they really ought to
last a longer time than usual. Fash
ions of the hour are costly, and it is
useless to pretend they are not.

The Whitney Crab.

This variety is of Illinois origin.
Tree a moderate grower; upright,
trunk and limbs rather slender. Trunk
1615 inches in circumference at base
and 151z inches at head. This variety
has in recent years suffered greatly
from attacks of blight and black rot;
canker on trunk has also been noted.
First bloom and fruit in 1892. Full
crop of fruit in 1895, heavy crops in
1899 and 1901. Fruit large, beautiful
red color, flesh tender, crisp, flavor
rich and pleasant. Excellent for des-
sert and for culinary purposes. Rip
ems latter part of August AS an anna
teur fruit we know of nothing superior
to this variety, and it is also highly
commended for general planting. Its
susceptibility to blight is, however,

Points on Piq MANAGEMENT.

1t is true that the boar is very
nearly half the herd, said J. C. Cana
day. If you have poor male, you
will have poor herd. You can do no
good with a good SOW unless you
have a good boar. l think we should
have good strong sows. l do not
think it is best to breed sows too
young; they should be from fourteen
to eighteen months of age before they
bring forth pigs. The fall pig is the
one that makes a good one for far
rowing at eighteen months of age.
By taking good care of them in the
fall they make good brood sows.
At farrowing time 1 like to have
them in good condition. 1t is diff
cult to get them in good condition if
they are not SO at farrowing time. If
in good condition at farroD1ng time
they will have better pigs than if they
are in poor condition. Let the SOW
increase her feed from that time Com
mence feeding her lightly at first and
increase the feed as the pigs get
older.
l fed bran, oats and corn ground
together. I make it into a thick .slop
and sometimes cook it. 1 prefer
cooked feed, as 1 believe that is the
best. For the young pigs 1 use bran.
ship stuff and corn. The cora is half
of the slop, and 1 make it pretty
thick. 1 like to have my pigs come
early in the fall, as the early fall
and spring pigs pay best. The late
winter pig is very hard to make much
out of. You have to be particular to
keep him warm and dry. Some one
has said that the spring pig makes
q hot fC
a general rule for the reason that the
fall pig is not taken care of as she
should be. But if the fall pig grows
right and has the right kind of food
and care it will make the best brood

The Worlds Grain Crop.

The Hungarian minister of agricul-
ture publishes his estimate of the
worlds grain crops for the year 1903.
1t is as follows: Wheat, 1922, $50, 900
bushels, against 2,S68, $40, 900 last
year; rye, 1913. $50, 900 bushels,
against 1,576, $50, 900 last year; barley,
,H3 3 SIC, 900, against LIZA, AGO. 900 last
year; oats, 3,515, $4,000, against g.
222, $40 900 last year; corn, 2.s35.740,-
900, against 3.042, $780, 900 last year.
Total, 12,1O1, $50 900 bushels, against
II, ,SS5, ,050,000 last year, a gain of
about 216, 100000 bushels.
According to this estimate, the four
leading nations in the production of
wheat this year are: United States,
639, ,000, 900 bushels; Russia, 523, ,600.-
600 bushels; France, 33s ,04O, 900 BUSH
els; India, 2s5, 100000 bushels. The
yield in Argentina is put at 81, 900 900
bushels, a gain over last year of 49,
600 900 bushels. AS a corn producer,
no other nation compares with the
United States, of which the yield this
year is placed at 2,076, $50, 900 bushels,
and last year at 48.9O0, 900 bushels.
Russia is the worlds greatest produc-
er of rye and barley, and stands very
close to the United States in the pro-
duction of oats

Grain in Western Canada.

Grain IN western Sdha0d.
The annual report of the depart
nent of agriculture of the Northwest
Territories is at hand with detailed
reports of the grain crops for the last
nve years. The region embraced In
the report covers Saskatchewan. As
siniboia and Alberta. 1t is interesting
to note the steady increase in the
size of the grain crops from year to
year. This is largely due to the in
f1ux of settlers from the grain raising
states of the American Union.
The statistics of the yield of wheat
are 1S9S) 5,542,57s bushels. acreage

1902) 13,956,S5O bushels, acreage
625,75S, yield per acre 22.30. The
average yield for the five-year period
was 1888 bushels per acre, which is
remarkably large for the western con-
tinent. 1t will be noted that the acre
age showed a steady increase from
year to year and more than doubled
in the five years.

yield for the five-year period was
$3.50.
A comparison shows that the acre
age and total yield increased three
fold during the time stated.
The acreage and total yield of bar
ley doubled in that time, being in
1902 36,445 acres, on which was
grown 870,417 bushels of barley. The
average yield per acre during the
fve-year period was $3.50.

TEN LAYERS OF HISTORY.
On One Sacred Site in Egypt Temples
Had Deen PILED on Ruins of
other Temples.

For the first time the whole history OF
one OF the great national sites Of Egypt
has been opened before US: dating from
the beginning of the kingdom, and end
ing with almost the last Of the native
kings-from Mena, about 400 p. c.. to
Nekht-horheb, $40 B. c., says Harper's
Magazine. History is here laid out for
us in strata, from which the past can be
read as we lift them away ore from an
other.
In order to read. however, one nut
know the alphabet Of the subject; and
that has lately been learned, from the
pottery, the 1ints. the beads, which
show, each, the age to which they belong.
Excavation on a site with a long his
tory is mere destruction if eGca
stratum is not read ard interpreted in
telligibly as it is opened; unfortunately
this hcs never beea done before on any
such site. On the earliest sacred site OF
Abydos. the first capital Of Egypt, tom
pies had been piled one on the ruiIs Of
another until ten ages of buildings stood
stacked together in about 90 feet depth
Of ruins. Each temple had become part
" ruined after q few centuries. ard
then at last was pulled down, leaving 2
foot or two of the walls ard fcunGa-
tons; and a new temple CT a differert
plan wcs then erected on the ground
America is not old enough for this to be
done even once. but London stands on ?
mound CT over 90 feet Of rui-s. from
which its past will be read IS we row
read that of Egypt.
