In Lavender Linen.

A captivating model of lavender
Iine- worn within the week was of
the coarse weave. The skirt was laid
in shallow box plaits three inches
wide at the top and four at the point
at which they were released. The
plaits were stitched a quarter of an
inch from the edge to the point OF re-
lease and there was less than an
inch of space between the box plaits.
The plaits were pressed down. The
skirt was short. The bolero jacket
came two-thirds the way from the
collarless top to the waist line, and
had a yoke piece of heavy white lace
which extended in a deep point over
each shoulder. A narrow band of Law
ender linen was inserted around the
edge of the lace yoke within an inch
OF the edge of the lace that joined
the body of the jacket. The back OF
the jacket had two pressed-in plaits,
with lace between them, and with
mere white lace-all these insertions
being the same width as, the box
plaits-1et in at each side between
them and the armholes. The front
was finished the same way, a box
riait on each side, but dipping lower
than in the back over the lace under
blouse The sleeves were kimono
shape.-Philadelph Ledger.

Baby Beef Points.

There is no making of good baby
beef without good feeding from the
start The young calf starts out with
the habit of putting on fat. Usually
this is lost and the habit does not
again return till the steer has reached
maturity and stops growing in size.
That is what has brought us into the
habit of waiting for steers to mature
before attempting to fatten them. Baby
beef must be made by the process of
SO feeding that the animal will put
on fat as it goes along and so at half
the age of the ordinary steer is fit for
the market. 1t will thus be seen that
the feeding must be excellent and that
no untoward accident must be allowed
to come in to change the course OF
events. One such untoward ci-cum-
stance is cold quarters in winter, with
dampness and bad ventilation. No ar
tificial heat is necessary, but the quar-
ters in which baby beef is being grown
should be sunny and well ventilated.
The pure air only can supply the oxy-
gen the animal needs in performing
the functions necessary to growth. 1t
is usual to dispose of baby beef at
from II to 18 months of age, at which
time the weights will run from 800 to
1,200 pounds.A

DoeiIity of Pure-Bred Hoos.

1t is a great point In favor of pure
bred hogs that they arc more docile
than the others and less liable to run
about. The fencing of them is a COM
paratively easy matter where the
fencing of the others was a herculean
task. This point should be of itself
sufficient reason for the farmer to pay
a little more money and get pure
breds when he has the choice OF buy
ing them or OF Purchasing others of
the mongrel sort with rowing and rest
less procliyities. It is Eot a pleasant
thing to have hogs always breaking
out of the yards and pastures and hav-
ing to hunt them up in the highway or
the neighbors' vegetable garden. Then
the common sorts are hard to drive
and it is no easy matter to return
them to their pens and yards once
they have broken out The Quieter
animals are more valuable for food,

Housing of Sheep.

Management as regards feeding and
housing needs prompt and continued
attention Sheep require to be proper
ly provided for in fall and winter
months and at all times when the
weather is unsuitable for them re-
naming in the fields. Hence the ne
cessity of providing good places of
shelter. Good, comfortable, roomy
sheds or stabling must be provided.
These need not be expensive, but
should be neat and tidy. The place
where they stand should, if pos
sible, be somewhat elevated, and
be made dry by good drain
age. A commodious open yard should
be attached to their houses in every
case to allow exercise. Exercise as
opposed to over much confinement is
indispensable in the successful carry
ing on OF the sheep industry. 1t is
not necessary. nor is it wise, that
their houses should be overwarm.
Frame buildings made close so as to
exclude all draughts, is about all that
is necessary. Have plenty of windows
Tor sunlight and good ventilation over
head Feeding racks are to be placed
IN the inside department and may be
SO arrangd as to suit the pen.-W. w.

Cattle a Farm should CARRY.

There is such a thing as overstock-
ing farm and there is such a thing
as understanding it. The amount Of
cattle a farm should carry will de-
pend on the amount of rough feed that
can be or is produced. Enough cattle
should be kept to consume all the
roughage, and anything short OF this
is less than the farm should carry.
Cattle are the means by which we
take the grass, straw and cornstalks
and change them into meat and milk.
The number of cattle a farm should
carry will depend in addition on the
arrangements for taking care of them.
1t would hardly be wise to keep a
large number of cattle if there was
no provision for finishing them On
grain when the proper time of doing
so arrives. We believe it is true that
in the main more of our farms are
understocked than overstocked. The
pastures are frequently overstocked
and SO are the great western ranges,
but most of our farms could carry
much more stock than they do, If
proper arrangements were made

The Kerry Cow.
house.

The Kerry COW is being written
about quite extensively in our foreign
exchanges, and it is not improbable
that she is among the breeds that will
some time be known in this country
Whether she possesses any points that
would adapt her to some particular re-
g1onS of this country is a matter of
conjecture. Perhaps in some of our
more mountainous districts in the
south and in the far west she might
supply a demand for a dairy COW that
is poorly supplied at the present time
The cow has already assumed consid-
erable importance in England on ac-
count of being small in size and being
also able to thrive on poor short pas
ture. Evidently she has been devel-
oped under hard conditions Some of
her English friends claim for her that
she will give more milk and butter ac-
cording to her weight and on poor pas
turage than any other breed of cattle
on the same kind of pasturage. On
the other hand, the use of good pas
turage seems to be against the Kerry
COW, as she at once begins to take
on flesh and shrink in her milk. One
man says that the Kerry will live and
do well where a Jersey COW would
starve. She is said to possess one
quality that certainly is not common
with cows and that is the ability to
regain her milk flow when it has been
shrunk for months from poor feed.
This is point in her favor, if it can
be established. The Kerry is said
to be very hardy and to be able to
pass the Irish winter without shelter.

Adjunct to Poultry Raising.

Many of the men that are engaged
In poultry raising are coming more
and more to combine it with other
things, such as gardening and fruit
raising. The general farmer has the
advantage over all competitors. He
does not have to develop some kind
of an adjunct occupation, but has it
on his farm. The fact is that fowls
require considerable room TO do their
best, but this room does not need to
be kept for that purpose only. The
poultry run can just as well be among
trees as not. The grass will be kept
down by the fowls and this will save
cultivating. This will prove particu-
larly advantageous in old orchards,
where the roots lie so near to the top
of the ground that the plow and cul-
tivator cannot be put in without doing
great damage, or where the limbs of
the trees come so close to the ground
that the horses could not go under the
trees. The fowls will keep the grass
down and that is the principal thing
to be looked out for. There are many
of our farms where the orchard might
be improved in this way and at the
same time the size of the poultry run
could be enlarged to the great advan-
tage of the poultry. There was
time when it was believed that large
number of poultry could be kept in a
very small space. That idea may
have come to us from Europe, where
on account of the density of the popu-
1ation every foot of ground has to be
made the most of. 1t may succeed
there, but we have read of great cpl
denies breaking out in European poul-
try yards and carrying off hundreds of
birds in a single season. So we be-
lieye that the concentration idea is
workable only where it has to be
worked. In the United States we are
not short of land and should give
the poultry all the room they can
use.

Adult Bronze Turke-x fn,ale,
Floors of Poultry Houses.

The floor of the poultry house is a
matter of considerable importance for
a good many reasons. The health and
safety of the fowls are directly af-
fected- Some poultrymen prefer earth
floors, some board floors, and some
floors of cement. The latter are very
uncommon, but are being put in by
some poultrymen that are raising poul-
try on large scale. The main con-
troversy is between the advocates of
wooden and of earth floors.
Some years ago the Farmers Re
view sent out inquiries to a large
number of poultry raisers asking what
kind of floor they preferred. The
answers were overwhelmingly in favor
or board floors, and it is evident that
board floors are far more common
than the other kind. In the main
they are the safest kind of floors to
construct and have hitherto cost less
than would a cement floor. There are
numerous things to be said in favor
OF board floors. They are suitable for
any kind of location, be it dry or
damp. They can be built of any
thickness, single or double or hollow
with tarred paper between to keep out
the cold. They may be placed near
the ground or put far away from it.
They may be even raised so high that
there will be room for scratching
sheds under them or for big boxes into
which the manure can be scraped at
cleaning time They dry out readily
If wet, and in fact have few objec-
tional features. They may, however,
if hollow, become the breeding places
of rats and mice, and this is one of
the great objections to them. Lice

cracks between the boards. II kept
too wet the boards swell and some
times bulge up. In case of fire they
make good food for the conf1agration
They rot in the course of time and
from the beginning of that process it
is impossible to keep them clean. If
allowed to absorb droppings they be
comes thoroughly scented, and this
odor can never be taken from them.
These objections are, however, quite
theoretical, as the careful poultry
raiser can readily prevent most of
them. First, if the floor is kept COW
cred with sand, dust or other absorb
ent material, the lice will not be like
ly to get into the cracks, as lice do not
like dust If often cleaned out the
house should not become so filthy as
to lead to the rotting of the boards.
The dirt floor has proved very OBJ
5ectionable in some cases. especially
where natural soil was used as a
floor. In the case of chicks such a
floor has not infrequently proved a
source of supply of cape worms, and
such chicks have been killed by gapes,
when other chicks kept ON board
floors, but in the same poultry house,
have not been affected. Where the
dirt floor is used the natural dirt
should not be allowed to come to the
top. but it should be overlaid with
something else. perhaps coal ashes or

Dairy Associations. A

Most of our agricultural associa-
tions are conducted on a high moral
plane and the more this is the case
the easier will it be to make them ef-
fective in the performance of the
work they are organized to do. The
dairy association, the association of
creamery managers, the association
of creamery buttermakers, and what
ever the name Of the association may
be, will do well to see to it that a war
is made on every form of dishonest
dealing. Dishonest practices can be
prevented almost entirely when asso-
Citations of the kind named take a
firm stand in regard to them, SO far
as those practices are found among
their own members. There is moth
ing SO potent as public opinion, and
frequently this is enough when mani
tested to stop abuses.
