SiIkworm Culture.

The Department of Agriculture at
Washington. D. c., is investigating
the possibilities of silkworm culture
in the United States. 1t is hoped that
it may in time be developed to such
an extent as to prove of benefit to
those members of families whose time
is not altogether occupied in other
ways, and also to other persons in a
small way as a side issue. To persons
wishing to experiment, and who can
furnish proper food for the worms, the
Department is distributing free of
charge a small quantity of silkworm
eggs and also a manual of inStruc-
tions. The proper food for silkworms
consists of leaves from the different
varieties of white mulberry tree and
the Usage orange. The paper null
berry with the fuzzy leaves) is not
suitable, nor is the common red null
berry. AS the season is now open, ap-
plications for the eggs should be made
at once, and must be accompanied by
a statement as to the number and kind
of mulberry trees or the amount of
Usage orange which the applicant pos
sesses; otherwise the eggs will not be
sent. If the variety of mulberry is not
known to the applicant, a sample of
large leaves should be sent to the De-
partment. The Department of Agri-
culture buys the cocoons which the
worms spin, paying for them (after
they have been dried (75 cents to 81
pound, according to their quality.
The work will prove an interesting
pastime for women and children who
can devote to it odd minutes during
the day.

cabhaaes for Sheen.

There may be objections to feeding
cabbages to milch cows on account of
tainting the milk, but there is no such
objections with feeding them to sheep.
CabbageS can be easily grown, espe-
cially where the soil is a heavy but
rich clay. In the discussion of this
subject we have heard sheep men say
that they could get more money out
of their cabbages feeding them to
sheep than in any other way. OF
course that was in localities where
markets were not easy to reach.
Where the farmer lives near rail-
road and can send his cabbages to
Chicago and other big markets at lit
tie cost, that way of disposing of them
will be more profitable than in feed
ing them to the sheep. But it must
be remembered that where the sheep
interests are largest there are few
railroads. A large tonnage of cab
bages can be grown per acre, and
many of our shepherds are finding this
a profitable use to make of the
ground. The cabbage has this
advantage over most of our
other green feeds that it can
be kept for months and even into the
dead of winter if it is properly stored.
This is quite an advantage over even
rape. The Canadian farmers are TAX
ing advantage of this to lay in an
nually good supplies of cabbages to
feed to their sheep during winter, thus
keeping their sheep in Perfect condi-
ton as to their digestive organs. Cab
bages can be grown in almost all
parts of the country, and they grow
best in the cooler sections, where they
are most needed for winter food.
Their value cannot be figured out
from the tables the chemists give us,
for their succulence is a valuable
thing in itself, but this has no value
in the analysis of the chemist.

Hat for Little Girl.

Popular for little girls is the lingerie
wide hat. OF course. the fashion is
extravagant, since the hat must be
perfectly fresh, and only professional
cleansers can wash them. For very
little children linen and pique hats
are pretty and serviceable. These
may be laundered at home with care.
A good shape is modified sailor with a
wide brim, corded and rolled at the
edge, with a bell-shaped crown. Black
velvet tied around the crown and hav-
ing long loops and ends trims these
hats. Sunbonnets for little girls are
dainty. They are made in poke bon
net shape, or like the so-called golf
sunbonnet. Some of these are hand
somely trimmed with eyelet embroid-
cry and lace, but in the main they
are simple Fine material is used
white, pale blue or pink, and strings
of ribbon or muslin are provided to
tie under tho chin.

Lace for Ankles.

A pair of lace medalions, left over
from the summer frock, can be put to
excellent use in trimming stockings
to match the gown.
For instance, with a pongee gown
piped with lace medalions, a plain pair
of tan Isle stockings were made very
smart by the use of lace medalions,
one just above each instep.
They were first appliqued on the
stockings with silk thread, in very
fine stitches, then the Isle beneath
was cut away, and then edges of the
stocking buttonhole stitched closely
and finely to the wrong side Of the
medallion. Worn with brown suede
shoes. they gave a dainty finishing
touch to the costume

Shirtwaist Ornament.

Here is a suggestion for ornament
ing a white cambric shirtwaist which
looks quite elaborate, but is not diff
ficult to manage. Draw or trace a
life-size butterfly on white paper. Cut
it out, pin it on a shirt front that has
been tucked a short distance from the
neck, and with pencil draw its
outline on the muslin. Then cut out
the material and lay under it piece
of point d'esprit, and with a narrow
wash braid turn in and cover the
edges of the muslin. The body of the
butterfly can be embroidered with
linen floss and the markings of the
wings put in with a darning stitch.
AS many butterflies can be inserted
as desired. and they can be of differ
ent sizes, thereby adding to the ef-
feet.

Broad, straight belts of white kid
have delicate traceries of gold fol

Street Costume of MistraI Wolfe.

Wolfe in it's fashionable varieties
really leads the fashionable procession
in the spring and early summer
gowns. The mistral voile has
coarse canvas weave with a rough,
creepy surface, and lends itself well
to decorative purposes. The little
Elton opens with a roll shawl collar
over the lingerie blouse, a narrow
black and gold braid being effectively
used for trimming. The skirt IS cut
with double effect, the upper portion
pointing In front, tablier fashion, and
rounding up shapely to the back. A
deeply Killed f1ounce applied beneath a
double band of braid gives the correct
flare at the foot, this being maintained
by a narrow band of princess hair
cloth on the drop skirt or petticoat-

Summer-Made Manure.

1t used to be the custom to allow
the manure pile to increase in size
for half a year before using it on the
helds. 1t was supposed that what 1t
lost in volume it made up in quality
and that the little well-rotted manure
was worth more than the greater vol
ume would have been if applied
fresh. Not only was the winter
manure kept till spring, but the ma
nure that was made nightly in the
barnyard was carefully piled each
morning and a new pile allowed to
grow till fall, and sometimes this
pile was incorporated with the new
pile that began to be made when the
COWS were taken out of the pastures
and stabbed for winter. But we have
sun and air are constantly warning
against the accumulated fertility and
that the sooner it is brought under
cover of the soil the better. The loss
is especially large with the manure
that accumulates in the barnyard in
the summer, for the reason that the
temperature is so high that all chemi-
cal changes are hastened and the
moisture escaping helps to carry off
the fertility, especially such as can
made manure should be carted to the
fields as soon as possible, at least
once a week, unless there is a covered
place that will protect it from both
rain and very much air. In the barn
yard if manure is to be kept in sum-
mer for any length of time it would
pay to have a receptacle built up with
planks on each side and which may
be increased in height as the manure
increases. In this way the air can get
at it only on the top, and the fertility
in the lower portion will be preserved.
Certainly this is a better arrange
ment than having an open pile with
all sides exposed to the currents OF
air. The fertility locked up in this
manure is worth money, and it should
be husbanded as carefully as money
would be.

Use only hot water with a little
ammonia added for cleaning paint
Ordinary kitchen soaps wear off the
paint and do not clean it so quickly
and thoroughly as ammonia. Use 8
good sand soap on obstinate places.
For the sake of general hea1thful
ness set one or two boxes of unslakec
lime in the cellar in some out-of-the
way corner. 1t is an invaluable aic
in drying out the cellar in the spring
just after the regular cleaning.

Account With the Fields.

There are numerous account books
especially arranged for keeping ac-
count of the cost and production of
the various parts of the farm. They
cost but little and will be found of
value to the farmer provided he can
make up his mind to use them and
keep his mind made up to that effect.
The greatest trouble with trying to
keep account with each field is that
the farmer neglects the items of ex-
pense and receipts, after a short time.
In great and small business establish
ments particular persons are selected
to have the matter of bookkeeping in
hand 1t found quite impossible
for the man that does the buying and
selling or even for the general mana
ger to keep the books. 1t is there
made the work of one particular per-
son or set of persons This will be
found to be also the best way on the
farm Ii there is bright boy or girl
that is interested in mathematics the
Otherwise they are about sure to be
neglected 1t is easy enough to ad-
wise the farmer to keep account of
everything he buys and sells. 1t is
quite another thing to point out to
him any practical method of doing SO,
where he himself has to keep ali the
items of receipts and disbursements
Yet the farmer needs to know these
things as certainly as the city mer-
chant needs to know them. II the
farmer himself has to keep his own
accounts the only practical way for
him is to carry always in his pocket
a small blank book and put down all
the items Of sale and purchase as
soon as they occur. This book can be
later written up" into a larger one.
1t pays to keep an account with the
fields.

studded with small gems; or it can be
made from small pearls, rhlnestones
or other gems. Beads, pearls CT other
gems should be exceedingly small, SO
that the general effect of the mesh is
gauzy and light.
The cap is worn directly on the
crown of the head, and droops grace
fully toward the back When a curl
is worn over the shoulder, it is some
times followed by loops and ends of
the pearls.

HOpTICUlJPE
Mark Grating Wood.

why VIII farmers keep worthless
apple trees on their farms when it is
perfectly easy to have all good. In
an orchard of a hundred trees of
mixed varieties, some will be very
good and some will be very poor. Yet
we have seen such orchards stand and
for twenty years bear the same old
kinds of fruit with which they started.
The trees that bore only cider apples
at first continued to bear cioer apples
Why do not farmers oftener graft their
best varieties of fruit onto the trees
bearing the poorer varieties? Is it
because they do not think about it or
because they never get around to do
ing what they know should be done?
BY grating we can in a few years
have all the trees in an orchard bear
Ing good fruit. During the summer
months is the time to mark grating
wood, for it is altogether probable
that the quality of the fruit on differ
ent branches of trees varies and that
the fruitful bough, if made up into
gratis, will give better returns in
fruit than the unfruitful bough. This
is the claim of some that have made
study of the subject, though it must
be acknowledged that no one has as
yet proDeu very oeeply lnCO tne mat
ter. Some of the varieties, like the
Gano, have been, propagated by mere
ly selecting certain boughs that bore
apples of a certain color and form. 1t
would therefore be well to mark all
wood that is to be used for grating
next year SO tnat the orchardist may
be sure to have his scions from wood
that has the habit of fruit bearing. In
this way some of the worthless fruit
trees that are now taking up room
without returning any rent for it will
become valuable.

charmingly dainty and effective. The
very pretty gown illustrated shows
the material trimmed with applique
of cream Venetian lace and finished
with frills of the softer Lierre in the
same shade. The combination OF
tones is a satisfactory as well as
fashionable one, and the material
lends itself to tucks with singular sue
cess. The blouse is made over fitted
foundation and closed invisibly at the
center front, but, when made of mus
lin or other washable fabric, can be
left unlined and also allows a choice of
long or elbow sleeves. The skirt is
cut in seven cores, the front one be-
ing extended to form a yoke at sides
ard back. 1t is tucked in groups that
are stitched to fiounce depth mad give
graceful fullness and flare beneath
that point. To make the gown for a
woman of medium size will be re-
quired: for the blouse AIS yards of
material 21. 7s yards 27, or PA yards
A inches wide; for skirt, 10 yards 21,
yards 81, or 5A yards A inches

Light in the Horse Stables.

The most modern stables are ar
ranged with the idea of giving the
horse an abundance of light. In many
of these the heads of the horses are
toward the outer walls and there is
window in the side of the stable op-
posite each stall. Light is a factor
that makes for good health, and there
is little danger of having too much
of it. In the summer time these win
dows are covered with screens and the
flies kept out while the summer
breezes come in. There are numerous
old stables now dark that might be
made light by some inexpensive alter
ations. These should be made as
early in the season as possible.
