Horsemen are loud in their praises
of oats as feed for working or driving
horses, and oats deserve all the praise
By reason of the fact that they area
preferred food for horses and Scotch
men, oats are usually about the dear

farm. Horsemen attribute this supe-
rior value of oats to the mythical sub
stance "avenin." which no chemist has
ever yet been able to discover. They
claim that 1t is this that puts the gin
ger in man and beast which feed on
oats. The Utah Experiment station,
however, has found out by experiment
that when mixture Of bran and
shorts, half and half, can be bought
at the same price per hundred pounds
as oats, 1t serves the same purpose
equally well, and when fed with al
falfa gives even better results, thus
materially reducing the cost of feed
ing the horse as compared with oats.

Hard Times for the Lacemakers.

From the B ston Herald.
With all Frances prosperity, lamentations
are being raised over the decay of the
homemade lace industry, which, says cor
respondent, if matters go on as they are
going now, will be lost art in France.
It is pointed out that half a century ago
there were still over $4,000 dentellieres in
the department of Calvados alone, who
earned their forty Gently day. In Au-
vergne there were more than 100000. while
Lorraine reckoned half that number. Now
there are not 1000 of such lacemakers In
the whole of Normandy, and Auvergne and
Lorraine can only show 10000 Depopu-
lation has been in the lacemaking districts

cry, that the mischief is to be attributed

once gave employment to the women of a

urious as this. that the passion for real
lace, of all things, should be numbered

aid of the minister of commerce. are APP
pealing to fashion to help them out. But
they have powerful rivals in the manufac-

LAUNDRY WORK IN WINTER.
Methods Of Keeping Clothes White and
in Good Condition.

From the New York Tribune.
Laundry work in winter and laundry work
in summer are two Numerically different
things. In summer clothes can be bleached
on the grass and dried in the warm sun
shine, and while they are whittier for being
frozen and thawed, there is seldom warmth
enough in the depth of winter to thaw them
on the line. and if they are handled in the
frozen state they are apt to crack. For this
reason good housekeepers will not allow fine
table linen to be dried out of doors in the
winter, even though it may be slightly yell
lowed by indoor drying. Fine handkerchiefs
are very easily torn, and delicate underwear
can be ruined more quickly by being taken
from the lines and folded when frozen than
in any other way
If white cotton garments are much STAIN
ed, freezing will restore them to their proper
color, and If there is time they can be left
out on the lines until they freeze hard and
thaW out, provided they are not handled In
"a frozen state or left to flap about in the
wind. Loosely woven materials, like stocki-
nette, may also be left outdoors on the lines
until they are dry enough to bring into the
house.
A large laundry is very useful place in
winter as the clothes can be dried out there
and the dangers of freezing avoided. Such
a room is also very useful for ironing in hot
weather. 1t should be provided with a
laundry stove and the fire kept up until the
clothes dried.
Flannels and wooden stocSinette ought to
be dried on wooden frames, which any
penter will make, and which will prevent
shrinking. This is because the ultimate
fiber of wool is spiral, the drawing up and
interlockng of the fibers being what con-
stituteS shrinkage. In underwear factories
the garments are always washed and dried
frames SO that they may be offered soft
and unshrunken for SALE
1t is much better and easier to scrub
soiled fiannels with a small brush than 1t Is
to rub them clean on a board. A rather
stiff brush about four or five inches long is
the best article for this purpose. Scrub the
bands and seams of heavy wooden shirts, as
well as those of cotton, in this way. This
small brush is excellent in washing corsets
or any heavy pieces that are difficult to rub
on a board. If, the brush has small
handle the garments may be more easily
cleaned with it..

A Collar Case
The turnover collars we all wear lose
their chic and freshness If tumbled around

the neck pieces in when travelling is made

as this color launders best. Cut piece of

serve to hold the collars in place. Turn up

Puffs Are Used.
Another pretty idea of the new arrange

of odds and ends of hair too short for other

are adjusted for day and evening wear, and

fancy pins thrust through them. Even if
the hair is heavy, they are handy to pin

beautiful when dressed In puffs, with jet

Hair ornaments were never so much used
or so attractive as they are at the present
time. Large combs. such as our grand
mothers used, are worn with both the high

elaborate design are shown in the shops.
