Pretty New CoIors.

New colors are continually making
their appearance and many Of them
are very attractive. Onion is the name
given to one of the new colors. 1t is
a creamy white tinged with gray and
green. Gooseberry green is another
new shade, and pale blue and laven.
der combinations are quite as popu
lar as they were last season. The
new shades and colors are a source
of inspiration to milliners. For ex
ample, a hat of pale blue silk has the
crown covered with little enomines in
all shades of lavender and knots OF
deep purple ribbon are the only other
trimmings. Orchids decorate pale blue
hats, and pansies in purples and Law.
enders embellish both light and dark
blue straws.

Weed Out the Poor Sheep.

Ewes intended to be used in the
flock must be only Of the best, wisely
selected for the object in view, says
w. w. Cooper. The flock is now well
established, and should be kept well
weeded out, only the best representa-
tives of the breed being retained
This system wisely followed for a
number of years will tend to estab-
lish in higher degree the uniformity
OF the flock. The poorer ones may be
culled out and fed for the block. In
no case are they to be retained or sold
for breeding purposes. Scrubs will ap:
pear in the best of flocks at intervals,
through freaks in breeding; conse-
quently, one requires to be ever on the
watch. Much can be accomplished in
the successful management of sheep
along these lines. 1t is matter of
some Importance to have your flock
well at all times. Something can be
done in this regard to add to their al
ready good form, by dressing and
trimming the wool from time to time.
This remark applies more particu.
larly to the Down breeds. A fine,
smooth appearance is presented to the
eye on the surface of back and sides.
It is always to the advantage of a
breeder to have his stock look wei
at all times and seasons of the year
A flock well kept is always to be pre-.
ferred to one such as is too often seen.
showing the appearance of neglect.
Sheep are very unsightly when not
cared for properly, but when in a
healthy condition and well looked
after there are no other animals of
the farmyard more worthy of your pro.

Question of Speed.

The general farmer has little or no
interest in the trotting horse except
in so far as he may be used to cross
on slower horses to give their prog
eny enough speed to make them use
full as carriage horses. The farmer
cannot afford to waste his time trying
to develop trotters. The trotting
horse is not farm horse, as his great
speed can be of no use except as a
means of gambling. Who wants to
drive a carriage horse at the rate of
mile in two minutes? What we do
want in horses for the farm is the
speed that appears in the walking
gait If our fair managers wanted
to really improve the speed of farm
horses they could establish contests
in walking.

Actuated by Movement of Arm.
Cheap and Safe Liohts.

In Great Britain an invention
which, it is claimed, gives absolute
safety to oil lamps is being applied to
practical uses. The device consists
Of a circular metal box, the size vary
ing according to the candle power re-
quired. in the box is a deposit Of salt,
over which is a layer of cotton waste
specially prepared.
Running through the cotton pack
ing is an asbestos wick. woven by
hand, and which is practically irdes-
tructible, and requires only occasional
attention By immersing the box
in petroleum or parafiin the cotton
waste abSOrbs the requisite quantity
of oil in a few minutes through small
lateral interstices. That accomplish
cd and the metal being dried eXteT-
nally, the application of light to the
asbestos wick produces a bright,
steady white light, the candle power
being in proportion to the size of the
box, the, consumption of oil being
less and, accordingly. the cost being
correspondingly cheaper than if the
light were oil tanned from an ordinary
lamp.
Moreover, it is claimed absolute
safety is assured. The asbestine
lamp may be inverted. may exhaust
itself, may be thrown down or whirled
about. but there is no danger, it is
averred as there is no free oil Or oil
gas that can be ignited, and cOnse-
quently there can be 70 fire or eXplo-
sion. The patent is said to be appli-
cable to every species of lamp from
the modest night light necessary in
the nursery through the entire garut
of domestic illumination, to the draw
ing-rOom lamp. In the industrial world
it could be utilized in every direction.
especially VIXEN a bright. steady light
is essential, such as engine headlights
and lights on ships.
The Great Northern and several
Scottish and Irish railways are ergag-
ed in testing the capabilities OF the
new process with a view to its adop-
ton in railway work. Every descrip-
ton of lamp-the bicycle lamp. the
motor lamp. the carriage lamp, lamps
for domestic purposes. lamps IN
mines-can. it is declared, be fitted
with the asbestine patent. and oil of
any fash point can be used with per
feet safety and with the additional
advantage of considering economy.
The problem of the safety lamp would
appear to have been solved.

Tests with Oats.

The Farm Crops Department of the
Iowa Agricultural College is making
a test on the College farm of 29 of
the leading varieties of oats. In addi-
ton to the test, Prof. w. H. Olin of
this Department, has arranged with
Mr.. A. E. Cook of the Brookmont
Farm, Odebolt,, Iowa, for co-opera'
tive test on large scale of three OF
the varieties of oats best adapted to
Iowa conditions. Six hundred acres
have been seeded to oats on the
Brookmont Farm for this experiment.
One variety has been selected as the
best oats for feeding horses and as
a heavy yielder. A second variety
has been selected to meet the de-
mands for a choice milling oats and
samples of the crop will be submitted
to the great oat meal combination to
be tested for milling. A third variety
was selected for good feeding quail
ties and high yields, it having shown
a yield of 102 bushels per acre on
large fields Prof. Olin will make a
careful study of the habits of growth
of these varieties, their yield and
adaptalion to Iowa soils; and will re-
port through press bulletins.

Fatteninq Cattle In the South.

Any man that travels through the
South. especially if he is acquainted
with the great stock raising districts
Of the West and Northwest, will be
struck by the fewness Of the beef
cattle he sees on southern meadows.
Here and there family cow is to be
seen, but, for the most part, the beef
animal is wanting. Yet the South
needs live stock, and, on account of
the mildness of the climate, live stock
should be easily and cheaply raised.
This is the view taken Of the matter
by some of the leading agriculturists
of the South. AS demonstrationtS
the ability of the southern statesNa
fatten and market cattle of high Qu
ity the Louisiana station undertook
the growing Of 16 Angus calves which
they purchased in November, 1901, in
Illinois and immunized against the
Texas fever. The calves were thep
taken to Louisiana and fed largely on
by-products from the three great sta
pies of that state, cotton seed oil, rice
bran and molasses. This last winter
the 16 steers were sold in the Chi
cago market at the top price for the
week. The journey to Chicago re-
quired six days from Baton Rouge,
and some severe weather was encoun-
tered during the trip. AS the animals
took the highest price for the week,
the natural inference is that as good
beeves can be made on the by-prod-
ucts of Louisiana crops as on the
corn of the corn belt; and the by
products of Louisiana are cheap in
price, and labor is also cheap there.
At Baton Rouge the beeves were
grazed on the pastures during the
spring and fall, but received all the
time an extra feed of the materials
we have mentioned. This test was
of calves born above the quarantine
line. The station is now about to
enter on another test of feeding calves
born below the quarantine line, to
demonstrate that it pays to raise
beeves in Louisiana as well as to feed
them there.
A few tests of this kind will doubt
less start the southern farmers to the
growing and feeding of cattle. The
great bugbear has been Texas fever,
and it was supposed that no live stock
industry could thrive below certain
badly defined line. If the South goes
into stock raising, a new day will
have dawned there, and agriculture
in the South will receive a new i'm
petus. There are northern stockmen
who have been for ten years predict
ing that the farms of the Gulf States
would yet carry great herds of we'll
bred cattle.

Pure.Bred Cattle in Argentina.

Americans are interested in the
cattle conditions in Argentina for two
reasons. One is that Argentina is a
competitor of the American stockman
in the English market, and the other
is that the Argentine farmer is becom-
ing a large buyer of blooded bulls.
Whether these bulls are to come from
England or the United States, the
American stcckman is interested. In
either case it raises the price Of Amer
lean bulls, by drawing on the Ameri-
can supply or diverting the export
able English supply from the United
States to Argentina. Just now the
Argentine stockmen are making eX-
traordinary efforts to improve the
quality Of their cattle, as is evidenced
by the high prices they are paying
for good bulls. Frank w. Bicknell, a
special agent of the Department of
Agriculture Of the United States. says
that the demand for Shorthorn bulls
is increasing at a great rate. There
is a better demand for young bulls of
this breed than ever before. Every
ranchman is endeavoring to raise up
the standard of his herd. The aim is
to produce steers for export of such
fine finish that they will be able to
compete successfully with the cattle
being shipped from the United States.
This demand for bulls has been stin-
ulated by the planting of alfalfa on
the great stock farms, for this has
| enormously increased the animal-car-
rying power of the ranches. In some
cases three times as many animals
can be kept as when the ranges were
left to the native grasses. The Eng
lish quarantine against Argentine cat
tie has rather helped than hindered
| the business, as it has determined the
Argentine farmers to send out chilled
meat, which costs only one-fourth as
much to transport as did the live
cattle, and sells for as much in the
English market. Last November the
highest price ever paid for bull in
Argentina was paid for an imported
Shorthorn, the price being S7,260. At
! the same time two other bulls were
sold, one for $3.50 and the other for
S3,0S0. 1t is evident that our stock
breeders have strong competitors to
face in the stockmen of Argentina.

of to-day have recognized in the prim
old-fashioned sunshade a means OF
enhancing their beauty, and behold
the little carriage parasol blossoms

hung over a foundation of white silk
under lace. The appearance was more
like an overgrown bouquet than like

Sewing Machine to Cure Insomnia.

The electric sewing machine is de-
scribed as good remedy for insomnia.
A Philadelphia physician has been
prescribing it successfully for several
months.
Electrical sewing machines are Or
dinary ones, with q small motor at
tachment. An electric light current
runs them-they are attached to the
tight as electric fans are-and in OPP
Grafton they give forth singularly
smooth sound.
This sound is what makes them
good for insomnia. The victim of in
somnia has nerves that are. as it were,
inf1amed. He needs something that
will lull and soothe him. Certain
sounds will do this-the sound Of rain
on a roof, for instance, or the sound
of a running brook. But brooks and
rain are not always at hand, and
hence in their stead the electrical sew
ing machine is prescribed

Floor Paint.

The mixing of paints is somewhat
troublesome process. and as the ready
mixed paints can now be purchased SO
cheap, they are used almost exclusive
ly, especially by amateurs. If. how
ever, you want to mix your own paint.
you might try the following recipe.
which is highly recommended: Soak
two ounces of coed glue for twelve
hours in cold water, and then melt it
in thick milk of lime( prepared from
one pound Of caustic lime) heated to
boiling point. To the boiling glue
stir in linseed oil until it ceases to
mix. About S&I fluid ounces Of oil is
sufficient for the above proportions.
Too much oil is corrected by the adj
ditiOn of lime paste. Mix this with
any color not affected by lime, and
dilute with water ii needed. For vel
low-br0wn or brown-red cOlors. boil in
the ground color a quarter o. its vol
ume of shellac and bOraX. making an
excellent paint for wooden floors.
This mixture is easily applied. covers
well, and is a great deal cheaper than
the ordinary paint.

Emergency street-car Brake.

On nearly every railway the passen-
ger cars are provided with an emer-
gency brake which can be operated
by any of the passengers or trainmen
the instant an accident occurs, often
serving to bring the train to a stand
still before the engineer is aware
that there has been an accident. Thus,
in case an axle breaks on a rear car.
the train can be brought to a stop by
any one III the car long before the
engineer could be notified and have
time to reverse the engine and apply
the brakes. 1t is now proposed to ap-
ply practically the same idea to the
street car, though in this case the
motorman, being the one most likely
to discover an emergency requiring
prompt action, is given control of the
brake. This mechanism may consist
of pneumatic pressure system or an
electromagnetic arrangement. as de-
sired, but to actuate it the inventor
utiliZes an electro circuit. The
switch by which the circuit is closed
and the mechanism put in operation
is located directly beneath the motor
mans arm, being attached to his body
by shoulder and waist straps. The
instant he sees the necessity of stop
ping the car to avoid a collision or
running over some one he has only
to drop his arm and close the circuit,
when the automatic brake is applied,
bringing the car to standstill before
he could have made the first move
