suppose you select a velvet frock for car
rage wear, let me advise you to have a
second bodice to wear with the one skirt
an evening blouse cut very decolete,
with a transparent chenille sleeve with
some real lace hanging therefrom and a
tucker of the same. The skirt will be the
correct length for carriage and evening
wear; it need not be abnormally long.
The aim and object of every modern
couturiere seems to be to get excessive
fullness round the feet.
For day wear with this velvet skirt
you can have a simple blouse-bodice I'm
lined if you like, held in place by a
boned corselet band, with a fancy buckle
and some rosettes of taffeta. This band
will do duty for evening as we'll as day
wear, and will be an important part of
the latter costume. A further addition
might be pelerine or cross-over fichu
of velvet edged with fur, or ruches of
taffeta. This can be worn or not, as
you please, in the house, and will be a
charming addition for outdoor wear.
Surely this is in keeping with the 1880
bonnets, waving plumes, and granny"
muffs.
There are all kinds of delightful speci-
mems in outdoor wraps, entirely apart
from the ordinary boleros and coats,
such as those fichu pelerines In fur
plush, velvet and cloth which are
dragged round the shoulders and tie at
the back, with smart little tail as
finish. They are very quaint and charm
Ing, and at the same time extremely
useful, while they present great posi-
bilities to the amateur
Wonderful embroideries are also used
and the leading tailors and couturieres
are achieving great results with those
of an oriental type. The warm touches
of color are always welcome on dull gray
winter days and give the relief necessary
to serges and tweeds. Smart indoor re-
ception frocks are being made once again
In beautiful, rich colored cloths. Vieux
rose and cherry, as well as a bright shade
of wine, are much worn for the cloth
frock. These are mixed with embroid-
cries and heavy guipure laces.
Cherry, Burgundy and orange hues
are taking the place of the red so long
beloved by the Partisan. There is a
new shade of pink red which VIII be seen
great deal in the evening. When
treated with skill this is extremely be-
coming. There is no doubt about 1t
these strong colorings require toning
down with handsome guipure lace,
Cluny applique, or something of the
kind, and for day wear, at any rate,
they are extremely trying, though in
company with the big, black hat and
dark fur stole they have cachet all
their own. which is added to by band

Chickens on swine Farms.

On large swine farms there is some
times considerable trouble with the
hogs running down and eating the
chickens. In some cases this may be
a hereditary trait; but generally it is
an acquired characteristic that is en-
tirely the fault of the owners careless
ness. Almost any hog can be taught
to eat chickens by having dead chickens
thrown away where he can get at them
This is often the easiest way of dispos-
ing of them, much easier than burying
or burning them; but such proceeding
may have an effect on the health and
habits of the hogs which the careless
owner has quite overlooked.-Pr

BREEDS AND PURPOSES.
Some Facts to BE Considered by
Farmers Who Purpose to En-
gage in Poultry Raising.

Each breed possesses merits peculiar
to itself, and the inherent character
istics of breeds indicate to the farmer
how best to accomplish that which he.
seeks in the keeping of poultry. There
is as much difference in the keeping of
the several breeds of fowls as in the
keeping of other stock. If one makes
speciality of raising poultry for market,
the weights should be as heavy as pos
sible, as the sales are made by the
pound: but If eggs are to be depended
ON as contributing portion of the
profits, then weight must not be con-
sidered. 1t is no disadvantage to have
large, heavy laying hen if weight and
egg production can be combined, but
as rule the very heavy hens are not the
best layers. With cattle there are spe-
cial beef-breeds while others are in
tended for milk These characteristics
are of course impossible with birds, but
nevertheless there are breeds that ex-
eel in egg production, while others read
lily convert food into flesh. The poultry
man who contemplates the management
of a poultry establishment should have
a definite purpose in view and should
in the beginning select breeds which
best conform to his requirements, as
any mistake then made occasions the
loss Of at least one years time. Hence.
do not aim for heavy fowls unless you
intend to make speciality of weight.
The different breeds all have their pc
culiar aracteristics.-Farm and Fire

SWEET POTATO CROP.
If Proper Care Js EveDoi.eI II Can Ne
Stored and Kept Successfully
for Long Time.

Sweet potatoes can be stored and
kept perfectly if certain rules are very
carefully observed. First, they must
be dug when the soil is as dry as pos
sible; next they must be very carefully
handled all the time, and third, they
must be very carefully stored. No cut
or bruised potatoes should ever be
stored. They should not be thrown
into heaps when they are dug, but left
to lie along the rows and dry in the
sunshine. They should not be thrown
into wagon body, but packed care
fully into baskets or boxes. If they
are to be stored for market, special
ly prepared house is necessary. A
width of Is feet is best with a length
according to the needed capacity The
walls should be doubled and we'll
packed with sawdust. The house
should have ceiling, loft and a
span roof and the loft should be
packed with straw. Above the roof
there should be protected ventilator
which can be opened or closed. There
should be passage through the cen
ter, with Slated shelves arranged on
both sides. A good heating appara-
tus must be provided. In the south
three or four oil stoves will do for
this; but in the north the best ar
rangement is good brick furnace at
the end with large sheetiron hue
passing overhead through the house.
After the potatoes are stored, the tenn
perature should be raised to about go
degrees for several days, till the po-
tatoes are through heating and have
dried off. After that the temperature
should be kept not lower than 40 de-
grees nor higher than SO degrees. The
ventilator should be opened whenever
it rises above this point.-Prairie

The average scores of the cheeses
were: At 40 degrees, 95.7; at so, 94.?::
and at 60, 91.7; and the increased mar

additional quantity to sell; hence 100

was worth s1.0S more than that cured
at 60 degrees. Larger cheeses lost less
in proportion to their weight than small
ones; and coating the cheese with par
ATTN decreased very decidedly the loss
of weight. One hundred pounds of
cheese, paraffined aud cured at 40 Ge-
grees, would sell, at prices prevailing
during this test, for $1.76 more than the
same initial weight of cheese unpar-
afined and cured at 60 degrees.-Coun-
