The MilIiner's Blue Rose.

One of the astonishing millinery
fancies of the year is the blue rose.
Such a flower never sprouted on the
earths surface but built in shaded
velvet, crimpy silk or even cleverly
tinted muslin, it is bewitching on the
summer hat of lace or maline.
The girl who likes to wear blue and
10 a-weary of ragged robins and for
get-me-nots greets the blue rose with
enthusiasm and uses it in profusion.
Another blue blossom which has
made it's appearance is the hyacinth,
but it must be used with discretion.
An imported hat in a peculiar shade,
bordering on navy blue, is trimmed
with these hyacinths and ribbon
which matches the bloom.
In certain light, the entire confec-
ton shades to blue; turn it toward The
sun and it shows violet tints.

Calling Gowns and Negliaees.

An unusually chic calling gown OF
dark green taffeta showed the 1880
mode in its quaintest form: with puff
ings and insertions, long shoulder eff
feet and full sleeves, to say nothing
of the full skirt and small waist, the
ensemble was all one could desire. A
toque of the green showed tiny wing
and knots of ribbon velvet of a paler
shade for contrast; the green para
sol was a most fitting accompaniment
to this particular costume.
Any number of dainty matinees and
negligees must be considered in the
rousseau from the lounging robe for
boudoir use to the peignoir of regal
lines becoming the hostess of the
drawing room, SO beautiful and arts
tic are they in design. Richly hand
embroidered crepes in delicate shades
make up handsomely, while accordion
silks with profuse lace insertions pos
sess particular attraction fer the
majority of women, their clinging full
ness, with flowing sleeves, being real
ly very fascinating and decidedly be-
coming.

Improving Swine

The improvement Of swine must
come as 1t comes in all other breeds
of animals, both by selecting and
feeding. Feeding is probably first. as
no matter how well an animal may be
selected If he is not fed properly the
things that have been gained by Sc
lecting will be lost. What is the use
OF man trying to breed UP a strong
boned animal if. after having selected
one that shows the proper conforma-
ton, he goes on feeding him nothing
but corn from pighood to maturity?
1t is evident that this kind of feeding
would be permanent check on furth-
er development along the line desired.
And If this selection should be con-
tinued for generations and the feed
remain bad, little or nothing could
he gained. In the past much OF the
work of Improvement has been along
these lines and has therefore been
uphill work. Some of our farmers
have tried to select their breeding
swine year after year with the hopes
of getting an improvement in stamina.
but have continued to feed materials
that went to destroy stamina, and they
have found it to be difficult to i'm.
prove their animals in the least.
The first requisite therefore is to
begin a right system of feeding, one
that will develop strong bone and
firm and abundant muscles. This can
be aene by limiting the amount of
corn that is fed and increasing the
amount of foods rich in protein. BY
such a course not only will the mus
cular systems of the animals be i'm
proved but the breeding qualities will
also be improved, and the number of
pigs in each litter will be increased.
The opposite course of feeding leads

Quaker Beauty Crab.

The Virginia Station has been ex-
perimenting with this variety of crab
apple, and in a report says of it:
This variety does not appear to bo
widely disseminated; it is recon-
mended by Thomas for planting in the
West. One of the trees has made
weak growth, but the other is niS1Ssf-
ately vigorous; forms roundish
head; limbs are stocly and of scraggy
growth. The largest tree measures
II inches in circumference at base.
and ID inches at head. Apparently
free from disease. First bloom in
1892; bore rs bushel handsome fruit
the same season. Bore a heavy crop
of fruit in 1895, but since that time
the crops have been very light. Fruit
large, color straw yellow ground
washed with delicate rose on ex-
posed cheek, not snowy. Flesh creamy
white, firm, crisp, but not as rich as
that OF Transcendant. This variety
has not been productive enough to
warrant us in recommending It for
general planting.

The Quick
growing Steer

In modern times it is an accepted
tenet of live stock husbandry that the
most money is made in the young and
growing animal. The farmer that has
a good pasture and some young calves
of good conformation to put upon it
is the one that is the most likely to
make money out OF his live stock feed
ing operations. The old steer turns
grass, hay and grain into manure, but
beyond certain stage Of growth he
turns very little of it into flesh. The
growing animal is the one that turns
his feed most readily into flesh. The
writer has known men that went into
the feeding of live stock with a sort
Of haZy idea that it was very easy to
get rich in this business, IRRESPECTIVE
of the kind of stock involved, IN the
feeding. The result was bankruptcy.
This will be the result every time.
More and more it is coming to be
felt that the general farmer is to be
the one that is to do most of tho
raising of beeves. The day is appar-
emily passing when great quantities
of beef can be made from free range.
The day is just as certain to pass
when animals can be bred in one part
Of the country and fed to maturity In
another part. We are likely to tread
in the footprints Of the older countries
Of the world, where this work has
simmered down to the farmer that fol-
lows mixed farming. This is largely
because he can set the benefit of the
growth of the young steer. The quick
growing steer is the one that we
must work to obtain. With the great
ranges the scrub must go. With every
curtailment of the size of the ranges
there has come widely felt neQcAsity
to improve the stock on the ranges.
When ranges occupied nearly all Of
the land west of the Mississippi river
it did not make much difference how
long steer took to attain his growth
and maturity. His feed and care cost
almost nothing anyway. But with the
curtailment OF the ranging privilege
more work had to be done in a short
time and on less area. This led to
the rangers bringing in improved an.
imals to sire their herds, with the
single aim of getting an animal that
would mature in the least time posi-
bic and make the most out OF tho
grass he got. What we call extern
sive farming is favorable to the non
descript, but intensive farming, which
is always on the gain, demands ami
mails of the intensive character. The
quick growing steer is therefore the
chief factor in the problem of the
production Of cheap meat.
The common farmer shouldSAhave
nothing to do with any other kind Of
an animal. He cannot afford to breed
his cows to scrub bulls when he in
tends to put these calves on pastur-
age and later finishthem for the beef
market. The quisN growing steer is
the steer of improved breed, as has
been demonstrated over and over
again. In the light of the experience
OF the past twenty-five years 1t Is sur
prising that any man should still
ignore the question of breed, which is
the question of the quick growing
steer.

to degeneracy and impairment o1
breeding qualities.
Then comes the selection each year
or each breeding season. With the
proper method of feeding selection
becomes q very effective method OF
improving the animals. Within few
weeks after narrowing the pigs will
begin to show characteristics that
should be propagated. A few VIII be
thriftier than the others. A few VIII
grow more rapidly than their fellows
and they will show better formation
of body viewed from the pork matters
standpoint. These are the ones Dot
should be chosen for the future Breed
crs. and should early be put in lot
by themselves and fed with the idea
of making breeders Of them. AT the
time the others begin to- receive corn
in quantities sufficient to make them
lay on fat, these should be receiving
only little corn, just enough to bal
ance the protein feeds they are re-
ceiving. 1t is obvious that no pig
