Habit and Hens.

Anyone that has had the feeding of
fowls for a number Of years will no.
tice what creatures of habit they are.
They become used to one kind of feed
and want to stick to that feed, in pref
erence to other feeds of the same gen.
eral character. That Is If the chicks
are fed oats they will always prefer
oats to other grain, and the same is
true If they are brought up on corn.
This does not hold good in the case
Of meat or green food being offered
after they have been on a single grain
diet for months. Their feeling of
lack in this respect overcomes their
inclination to stick to one thing This
can be illustrated by keeping chicks
for number of weeks after they are
born on some particular ration like
cracked corn. They will then take
that in preference to other things OF
the same general nature. The writer
has had illustration of this again and
again. Thus some men have declared
that hens will not eat oats. The
writer has always fed oats in large
quantities to his fowls from the time
they were old enough to eat grain.
He once kept his fowls from oats for
few days, giving them corn instead.
Then he took the corn away and gave
the fowls mixed ration Of corn and
oats. The birds made lupge for the
oats, pushing the corn aside with their
bills and picking only the oats tia
they were satisfied.

Preparing for the Strawberry Bed.
Geo. w. Williams in a communica-
ton to the Missouri State Board Of
Agriculture, says:
Strawberries require a higher, dryer
location than the blackberry. They
Will not live on wet land. While there
can be no iron clad rules to cultivate
strawberries by, there are a few gen.
eral rules that will hold good in near
~ all soils. The preparation Of the
Held should begin in the fall before
setting In the spring. Never set straw
berry plants in tae fall. II the land
Is not well drained, it can be aided
very much by a system of subsoiling,
breaking with an ordinary two horse
turning pillow, following each furrow
with another team hitched to a slim,
strong bull tongue" running the "bull
tongue" in the bottom of the furrow,
which breaks up the soil very deep
but does not throw it out on top. This
manner Of breaking has a two-fold OBJ
Ject, one is it forms an under drain
age that carries off the surplus water,
the other, it forms a reservoir that
holds moisture and furnishes the
plants with drinking water" during
drouth. When ground is plowed, cover
with barnyard manure, putting on
from ten to twenty tons per acre.
Next spring at the proper time to set
plants, which is when the earliest
blooms have opened, disc or cultivate
the ground over until it is thoroughly
pulverized. Mark off the rows north
and south four feet apart-a light
Wheelbarrow makes a good marker. In
setting, follow the track made by the
wheel, as a guide is all that is needed
Set plants from eighteen to twenty.
four inches apart, setting with mar
row spade. In selecting plants, they
should be taken from beds that have
never borne fruit, that is from beds
set the spring before. BY following
this plan year after year, and the prop.
er selection of plants, the strawberry
can be improved.

Neckwear Novelties,

Novelties in neckwear are to be met
with everywhere, and so long as the
throat is enveloped in some smart
style it scarcely matters what is worn.
Just few women-they are always
English and as a rule of the rag and
bone and hank of hair persuasion
still denude themselves of a collar
and wear a string of pearls to supply
its loss, but they are hopelessly out
Of style. For an afternoon or semi
evening blouse the transparent collar
of lace or embroidery is necessary,
but for morning wear fancy runs riot
in the way Of little linen jabots and
crayats. The narrow turnover collar
of linen or lawn is still chic, and so
neat and becoming that it will not cas-
lily be ousted from the fashionable re-
gard.

Velvet Hat Trimmint,

A new and simple method of using
wide ribbon velvet on a large hat was
exemplified by woman lunChing at
Sherry's. The hat was dull green. 1t
had wide brim and low round crown,
the latter very small in proportion to
the brim. The straw was a fine chip
A band of dark green velvet encircled
the crown, and from it, at irregular
intervals, extended plain fiat widths of
the velvet ribbon, the ends cut in two
points-that is, V-shaped section was
cut out Of the centre at each end.
These pointed sections were of differ
ent lengths, and one extended nearly
to the edge of the brim. Two or three
similar sections we're fastened to the
underbrim, which flared up little at
one side.-New York Tribune.

Currant JeIIv.

To make currant jelly that will keep
almost any length of time: Weigh
one pound of sugar to each pound Of
fruit; after weighing, put the currants
in patent wine press or in a fine
sieve that the seeds will not go
through; it is not necessary to strip
the currants from the stems; press
the juice all out; then strain it
through very fine sieve or through
cheese cloth; pour the juice after
straining into preserving kettle, and
stand it over slow fire. When the
juice is quite hot, stir in the sugar,
and keep stirring until it is dissolved.
Let the whole simmer gently till it
drops as thick as jelly from the
spoon; then pour the jelly into glasses
and stand it in the sun until it is
quite stiffened; then paste paper over
the tops of the glasses.

New Zealand and Dairy Exports.

The general public does not, per-
haps, realize how large a place New
Zealand Is filling in the production of
butter and cheese for consumption in
England. New Zealand is as yet but
a thinly populated country, and the
annual receipts of several million dol
lars for butter and cheese sold in the
English market Is a considerable item.
The srade has largely been built up
during the last ten years. 1t now
amounts to about seven million dol
lars for butter and a million for
cheese. For the year ending March,
1895, New Zealand exported butter to
the value of 263,244 pounds and cheese
to the value of 16O,383 pounds. A
pound is equal to $4S6 in our money.
BY 1900 the exports of butter from
New Zealand were worth 693. FOL
pounds and of cheese 20S,25 pounds.
The development has been very
steady, showing the healthy copdi.
ton of the trade and the gradual in
crease in the cow population of New
Zealand. For the year ending March,
1904, the exports of butter were worth
1,440,237 pounds and of cheese 217.1i9
pounds.

Showing the COMING Mode.

One new gown in advance Of the
season deserves mention, since it rep
resents the coming mode in dress
toilets. Intended for a blonde young
woman, it is of the lovelest shade of
rose pink silk of a weave closely re-
sembling Louisiene. The skirt is dane
ing length and is made on a founda-
ton of white taffeta. The ruffles,
which are deep, are shirred on in
fancy design, making scallOps and
small roset-2 effects. There are two
of these ruffles, which run into a
straight panel in front. The bodice
has yoke of cream, snowdrop-pattern
lace and deep fall of the same over
the shirred front of the bust and over
the shoulders; the sleeves are elbow
in length and consist of an upper
sleeve in three deep scallops of silk,
shirred on the edges and bordered
with lace, under which is full pulled
sleeve of rose pink chiffon with a lace
fall. The high girdle is of silk and
lace with jet nailheads set in the cen
ter of each of the six small rosettes
which form the front as we'll as the
back decoration. About the bottom of
the short bodice is a deep flounce of
lace, which falls over the hips and
forms a ruffie. The stock and the front
Of the yoke show a narrow trace of
gold and black, which, together with
the jet nailheads, gives the requisite
touch of black which is almost indis-
pensable if the costume is to have TIE
best style.

Soaps as Insecticides.

A report of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture says: ANY
good soap is effective in destroying
soft-bodied insects, such as plant-l:ce
and young or soft-bodied larvae. AS
winter washes in very strong solution,
they furnish one of the safest end
most effective means against scale in
sects. The soaps made of fish oil and
sold under the name of whale oil
soaps are often especially valuable,
but variable in composition and mer-
its. A soap made with caustic potash
rather than with caustic soda, as is
commonly the case, and not containing
more than 30 per cent Of water,
should be demanded, the potash soap
yielding liquid in dilution more read
lily sprayed and more effective against
insects. The soda soap washes are
apt to be gelatinous when cold, and
difficult or impossible to spray except
when kept at very high temperature.
For plant-lice and delicate larvae,
such as the pear slug, strength OBJ
tanned by dissolving half a pound Of
soap in a gallon of water Is sufficient.
Soft soap will answer as we'll as hard,
but at least double quantity should be
taken.

Man and Wife.

Buxton, N. OAK, Sept. ~ Especially.
Mr.. B. L. Skrivseth of this place
has been added to the steadily grow.
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have in this part Of the country.
Mr.. Skrivseth gives two reasons
for his faith in the Great American
Kidney Cure. The first is that they
cured his wife and the second is that
they cured himself
II must say" says Mr.. skrivseth,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis
ease for years and she tried all kinds
of medicine from doctors but it did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her SO much
that she took eight boxes moro and
now she Is cured
II also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger In every way"

failed to cure, any kidney disease

betes or Bright's Disease.

No Overproduction of Fruit.

Some fear an over-production Of
fruit; do not. I have heard the
warning cry from timorous souls for
forty years that we were sure to have
an production Of fruit! What is
the actual condition? What are the
facts as to an oVer-supply Of fruit?
What about the increased population
OF the country as compared with the
increasing supply of fruit? In the
time that it has taken the population
of the United States to double, Der
fruit supply has increased five-fold.
In the face of this, we would naturally
expect fruit to decline in price. Has
it? No indeed; but on the other hand
it has gone up and up in price, till II
is now beyond The reach of the COM
mon people and only the rich may in
dulge in the use of ordinary fruit. At
the present time one bushel of good
apples is worth two bushels Of wheat
or corn! We know Of apple orchards
this past season that sold for two
hundred dollars per acre, peach or.
chards that sold for as much and in
some places more, and strawberry
beds that sold for from one to three
hundred dollars per acre! In the face
of all this, with our millions of acres
Of superior fruit lands that can be
bought at from five to fifty dollars Fer
acre, with a splendid home market
and an ever and rapidly increasing
foreign demand for all our fruit, shall
we continue to let the masses go hun

In FEEDING Cattle:

In the fall feeding of cattle the
stockman finds many problems differ
ent from those of the early part of
the season. His feed has changed
from a succulent one to one of grain,
mostly corn. In the feeding Of this
coSn, racks will prove to be economi.
cal, as they are savers of feed. There
Is no question that very large
amount Of corn Is lost by feeding on
the ground. Some will reply that the
hogs get what is not eaten by the
steers. but it is not the object of feed
ing steers to throw corn on the ground
Tor the swine. The latter are ex-
pected to get their corn only from
the droppings of the cattle. If good
deal goes from the storehouse to the
ground the swine will eat that instead
OF hunting for the other and with the
grass they obtain in the pasture will
be satisfied to exist without working
Moreover, when corn, even in the
ear and the husk, is thrown on the
ground, much of it is trampled in the
mud, and is never found at all.
One of the best ways to feed the
corn Is to give it in the form of corn
fodder, beginning while the leaves
are still green and feeding each day
only what the cattle will eat up. II
too much Is fed it will be "nosed
over" and thereafter refused by the
cattle. AS every feeder knows, cat
tie are particular on this point. A
careless feeder or stupid feeder will
lose great deal of money for the
owner of the cattle being fed. A
bright man is needed for this work
as well as for most other kinds of
farm work.
Feeding yards should be kept in
good condition so that the animals
will find it more enjoyable to lie
down than to stand up. They should
be encouraged to rest, for in doing
this they are saving feed for the
owner and making the best use Of
that they have taken. Protection
against the hardest winds should be
given. The open lot may prove to
be good in regions south Of line
drawn through central Illinois, but
north Of that the fall Is too cold to
give the best results. 1t is, however,
not advisable to shut up the animals
in close barns. For feeding cattle
the barns should be open to the free
air. The steer does not require the
same conditions that the dairy cow
does, for the reason that the steer
has fat under his hide and through bis
flesh, while the dairy cow has the fat
largely on her intestines, where it
can be of no use as protection
against the cold.

Care Of the Hair.

Eau de quinine has no effect upon
the color of the hair and is excellent,
to make it grow. Sprinkle it on the!
scalp three times a week before re-
firing and massage it in with the ii. s.
of the ten fingers, then divide the hair;
into small proportions and brush well.
Whenever possible, let the hair fall
loose. This will add to its growth.
Pure vaseline also massaged into the
scalp once a week is very good.
Never touch the hair with a curling
iron, but if it needs fluffiness, rough it
underneath with the comb as the hair
dressers do. This should be carefully
brushed at night.
