For the Garden Party.

Garden party gowns require some
thing very picturesque in the way of
hats, and among the most fashionable
styles now worn are the Dolly Warden
and the ever beautiful Gainsborough
two very opposite styles, but both
having very great deal to commend
them. The Dolly Warden hat looks
best as an accompaniment to sim
pie white muslin or chiffon gown. For
instance. such a one as that Diane
that admired so much at a garden
party on Saturday afternoon. The
pretty white chiffon dress, with many
frills, was distinctly in 1880 style,
with it's long sash ends and soft belt
of pale blue ribbon, and the Dolly VAR
den hat was a veritable inspiration,
with it's full frilled brim of white
chiffon and crown of closely-massed
pale pink roses. Gainsborougi hats
look best always in black-gathered
tulle is altogether admirable-and a
long, sweeping ostrich plume gives an
air of dignity and picturesqueness to
an elaborate costume.-Exchange

Dehorninu Calves.

1t Is more humane to dehorn calves
by the use Of caustic potash when
the horns are just starting than it is
to use the saw on the horns after they
have developed. Also, the task is
easier at the earlier period. The OPP
Grafton with the caustic potash should
be made before the calf is nine days
old. The better time is when the
calf is from two to five days old.
The hair should be clipped away from
around the horns. A stick of caustic
potash should be rolled in paper, with
one end of the caustic bare. This
should be slightly moistened and the
tips of the horns rubbed for about
fifteen seconds, or until the potash
has made slight impression on the
center Of the horn. The treatment
should be given two, three or four
times, according to the age of the
animal and the size of the horns,
about five minutes being allowed to
elapse between applications. If a
little blood appears in the center of
the horn it will then be necessary only
to give a slight rubbing with the pot
ash. We advise all of our readers
that hive calves to adopt this method,
rather than to wait till the animals
grow and have to use the more painful
method. 1t is believed that the caus-
tic potash method Is nearly or quite
painless.

Edam Cheese.

Eiam cheese is made in Holland
and takes it's name from the town Of
Edam. Its manufacture may have
started at that place and so given it
the name, but for the most part it is
made in diaries and not in factories,
There are few Of the latter in Hol,
land. The COWS are MIXED in the
fields, and the milk hauled to the
houses. The cheese is made in large
wooden tubs, and is placed in cup,
shaped molds with other cup-shaped
molds on top. This gives the cheese
the shape Of a cannon ball. In the
process of curing, salt is rubbed Oh
it from day to day as the cheese Is
turned. Edam is the great market
where large quantities of this cheese
is sold. 1t is piled on the pavement
in the form of pyramids, where the
purchasers make their bargains with
the sellers.

Simple Skin Food.

A simple food for the skin is made
thus: One tablespoonful Of pure olive
oil, one-half teaspoonful of rose water,
the skin until entirely absorbed. This
food can be used at any time. If at
night before retiring wash the skin
with warm water and pure CASTLE
soap; then rub ointment on, always
rubbing upward; if applied during the
day, after rubbing food well into the
skin, apply drop chalk. This food re.
moves and prevents wrinkles, softens
the skin and keeps it from chatting.

Some Uses Of sklmmIIk.

That skimmilk is useful fee, for
all kinds of farm animals is an estab.
lished fact. 1t pays better, however.
to feed it to the young animals than
to old ones, though the latter use it
to fairly good advantage. The young
ones have stomachs SO well adapted
to using skimmilk that they can get
more out Of it with less expenditure
OF digestive energy than any others.
good many experiments have
been made with it from time to time,
by the way of using it as food for
mature farm animals. Here and there
are men that have fed it to their
mich cows, and in the absence of
other animals to consume it this is a
good use to make Of it. The value in
such a case depends on the market
price that can be obtained for it. In
the case of using it for cow feed it
will be found necessary to keep it
sweet till so used. 4
Colts and even mature horses have
been fed on skimmilk. One man
claims that his horses came to like
milk and that less grain was con-
sumed after the milk began to be fed.
We can easily believe this. The milk
contains a good amount of protein
and this of course goes to build up
the muscles and make protein from
grain less necessary.
On all of our farms the use of skim
milk for chicken feeding is now recog.
nized, and little urging is necessary

TO feed the fowls all the milk they
will consume. When they cannot
Use enough of it on account of it's

Live Stock Industry in Mexico

A New Milk Test.

is reported that a German scien
fist has invented new milk test, by
means of salts in solution, which have
the power to dissolve the casein OF
milk. The compound of salts is mere
ly mixed with the milk in tube and
the latter is placed in water, which
is nearly at the boiling point. The
tube used is marked with percent
ages, and the butter-fat fills the tube
in the same proportion as the fat per
centage in the milk. If this simple
system proves to be an accurate one
the dairy world will be greatly bene
fitted. The test itself will however
have to stand the test of further in
vestigation and experience.
