Rich Evening Effects.

Brilliancy is the keynote. Should the
same color pace that has recently pre-
vailed continue, we shall outshine the
tropical birds in short time. At the
balls that have been given since the
holidays, dresses of fairly barbarlc gor-
geousness have dazzled the eyes of the
old-fashioned contingent who best like
soft pale grays, when they depart from
white. Though often more becoming,
all this more or less neutral dressing
does not lend beauty to n ball room
scene. There must be contrasts If the
scene Is to be brilliant. And not merely
contrasts! Black and white contrast
Yet n black-and-whit ball would be
mourning ball. There must be con-
trasts of brilliant colors.- Washington

Noles From Many Sources.


Poultry cannot be kept healthy II
they are filthy.
Mud and dirt breed vermin and
produce skin diseases in the hog.
In many cases it will pay to buy hay
and stuff to feed to the pigs.
When you commence to fatten poul-
try do so rapidly and as systemati-
cally as possible.
When there are too many animals on
the farm they cannot be kept in
merchantable condition.
One meal day of soft food is suffi-
cient for the poultry, and it should be
given early in the morning warm.
The escaping ammonia from the ma
nure, unless all stables are kept clean,
often causes sore eyes and lung
troubles.
Those cracks in the stable floor and
under the doors cause your cows great
suffering during the cold weather.
Note the shrlnkage in the milk pail, as
we'll as the creamery check.
The cold penetrating winds are in
furious to young calves. Provide a
clean, dry, warm place for them. Feed
them milk at n temperature of ninety
TO 100 degrees in proper quantities, and
avoid the calf scours that are usually
prevalent during the colder months.

Care of Brood Mares.

An experienced man in handling
horses and breeding, in the Farmers
Advocate of Canada, says that mares
in foal require more food and more
careful feeding than other horses, as
the coming foal as well as the mare is
to be sustained; that the food should
be the very best quality. Any food in
which there Is any danger of must
or decay, such as poorly saved hay,
straw or hay that has been exposed TO
dampness, cornstalks, etc, should not
be given on any account. Grain that
is musty or in which there may be
ergot, as rye or barley, should be avoid
ed. In fact, the grain ration should
consist of oats, rolled oats being pref
erable to whole; the quantity should be
regulated by the size of the mare and
the amount of work she is doing. A
few roots, as a carrot or two, or a tur-
nip, daily, and also feed of bran,
either damp or dry, should be given
two or three times weekly. TO sum
up in a few words, give food and water
of first class quality, the former in

This is one of the strangest OF ami

Being located in the windplpe, the

A writer in Journal of Agriculture
gives ten special items necessary to
successful farming in this present day
Of sharp competition. All are import
ant and should be carefully studied
and kept in mind
In no other calling on earth is there
so much skill and forethought and
prudence required TO insure success
as in farming. Every resource and
avenue of gain must be made to con-
tribute its little here, or the whole will
fall short of the total required. The
farmer must play his cards well, III
order to come off a winner in the game
which he has undertaken, and not one
of them can he afford to carelessly
throw aside. Here are ten trump plays
worth considering:
l. Keep accounts of everything that
goes on on the farm. Know where
you are making and losing. Call your
years labor to account, and make 1t
give full report of itself.
?. Let economy be the watchword
in everything. Treat your farm as
though it was your debtor, owing you
so much each year, which it is bound
to pay. Do not let it sponge" on you.
3. Increase the extent of your cult
waited land each year. Your profits de-
pend not so much on the amount of
land You own or control, as on the
amount which yields you a profitable
return.
A. Provide n clean water supply for
the stock. This means clean return
in profits, from their better condition
and productiveness in consequence.
o. See.t to 1t that the manure Is shell
tered from the weather. The best
product from many a farm flows down
the highway in constant stream, all
the spring. Some can afford to throw
away their substance, but not the
farmer.
o. Keep well posted MS to the latest
and most improved methods through
the agricultural press of tue day, and
discussion with your fellow associates
In the cultivation of the soil. Any
thing that is worth knowing about
these methods Is as valuable to you
as TO anyone else.
Z. Offer your products for sale in
neat, presentable shape. Appearances
count for great deal. The best must
look Its quality to be recognized.
:. Follow the lead of your own sue
cess, and branch out each year in the
directions which you find are yielding
you the largest and most satisfactory
returns.
0. Do not be afraid to attempt new
ventures. All that has been accom-
plished by the race thus far has come
about largely in this way. The old rut
must be abandoned when 1t becomes
worn to rock bottom.
10. Keep brave heart and an in
vinclble determination. Large results
do not come but with large endeavor.
To balk at the first Encouragement is
cowardly. Only those succeed who are
determined to win.

The Rest Yenl CaIvaa.

The best veal calves always will be
those grown in the natural way, or,
at best. with additional food given only
in cases of extremely large calves or
with dams giving insufficient milk or
milk Of poor quality. In such cases it
often is best to take the calf away
from its dam and feed by hand. In
this way the nutriment given may be
made standard in rlchness.and in guam
tity sufficient for the calf's needs.
But IL often happens that the milk of
the COW is needed in the house or dairy
and the fine calf would also be deslr-
able addition TO the herd and 1t be-
comes necessary to feed the calf by
hand and largely upon some substitute
for its dams milk. This is readily
done If sSlmmilk can be had. A little
whole milk for week or ten days is
desirable. although it may be dispensed
with. The skinned milk, warmed TO
the temperature of new drawn milk
and enriched with a good calf meal in
liquid form, can be given three or four
times daily. l have fed calves twice
daily. but find 1t pays to feed oftener
and less at time. II pays to make the
feed as sweet as good whole milk, and
when eggs are not too valuable l give
each calf about two eggs day beaten
up and stirred in the food.
| have found that the most trouble
in teaching calf to feed from bucket
is caused by letting calves be with
their dams too long. Usually n calf
only two or three days old will learn
TO eat quickly. But calves will learn at
any age If they are permitted to get
pretty hungry and If one uses little
patience with them. Never beat or knock
about the calves even if they do persist
in trying to starve themselves TO death.
They will soon learn to eat and then
the trouble will be over.
If the calves eat out of ordinary buck
cts. drinking down their food quickly,
it is usually good plan to let them
lick the bucket as long as they will;
this not only cleans up the food we'll
and prevents souring. but serves n far
better end in having the proper amount
of saliva enter their stomachs TO aid
digestion. 1t is needless to say that
nothing like sour or poor food should
ever enter young calf's stomach.
Much care should be taken that the
food mixture should be uniform in
quality, Of even temperature, and in
gradually increased amount, for the
best results.
Even the despised little Jerseys have
been made into fair veals at five or six
weeks when properly fed, and some Of
them have weighed 500 or GOO as
yearlings, while the beef breeds have
been pushed much above these weights.

where the chicks are fed, or adhere
to grass blades or other vegetation, or
are consumed by earthworms or other
insects, which are afterwards eaten
by the chicks--now matter how the
eggs find lodgment in another chick,
another case of gapes is sure.
The treatment is to try to clear the
premises OF the infection. All chicks
that die of gapes should be burned, or
taken entirely out of reach of the
poultry. and the run thoroughly treat
ed with lime. 1t is well to keep lime
scattered about the run throughout the
season, especially very early before the
gapes appear.

The method. so customary among a
great many farmers, Of dumping the
manure on the field in heaps, and leav-
ing it there until they are about TO
plow the field, is certainly very bad
practice and one from which hardly
any good can possibly como. The solu-
bic matter in the manure so handled
is washed into the ground under the
heaps, and when this happens it cannot
be evenly distributed by rain about the
field and it results in fertilzed spots.
On a great many farms all this is the
cause Of those uneven crops that we
sometimes hear certain farmers COM
plain so much about.
