THE WEATHER ETC.

pretty days, clear and just cool
enough to be bracing. Wednes-
day morning it set IN to raining
and kept it up without inter

CARRIAGE THE SECRET OF
STYLE

a girl sees a pretty fashion plate.
She has it copied by a good dress
maker. The dress is put on, it is
good and expensive, but where is the
style? The wearer is young; she has
pretty face. What is it that makes
her look ordinary, commonplace? She
stoops. Another girl has an inexpen
sive dress. She has such look OF
thoroughbred that if she speaks peo
pie listen. At each turn of her head
one sees new beauty in her face.
Wherever she moves our eyes follow
her What is it which makes all she
wears look well? 1t is the true digni-
ty and ease of her carriage.
Without a good carriage a pretty
face is thrown away, the most perfect
dress cutting and fitting are thrown,
away. even refinements of manner is
hidden under bushel. To carry her.

distinction left to a woman. 1t posi-

COOKERY OF RICH WOMEN.

Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth, wife of
the millionaire agriculturist of Gen
eseo, N. Y, had plan for the cult
walton of the culinary art among all
classes of the people. Mrs. Wads-
worth. who has charming winter
home in Washington, D. c., is an
earnest worker for the uplifting of
musical taste, and her society, the
Polyhymma, devoted to the restora-
ton of the classic odes of Greece,
tives on despite the jeers of the I'M
cultured. In the cookery propaganda,
Mrs. Wadsworth has the aid of Mrs.
John W. Mackey, Mrs. Potter Pal
mer, Mrs Bellamy Storer and Mrs.
Emmons Blaine. She asserts the ia,

VALUE OF EARLY MoULTERs.

VALUE OF EARLY MOULTERS.
Of really more value than the earll-
est Matched pullets. are the early
moulters--the hens which are now
shedding their feathers and getting
into their fall and winter coats. They
are the hens that stand us in for prof.
it in our poultry during the late fall
and early winter months. The early
snoulters should be watched after
closely and given the very best OF at
tention. Care. should be taken now to
keep them free from mites and lice
This can be best effected by keeping
their roosting perches well oiled with
coal OIL care also being taken to
chase blaze of burning. paper along
the under-side of the perches about
once week, to keep any vermin from
lodging and Matching there. Then we
should see to it that they have good
place in which to dust. This is very
important. as it tends to keep them
free from the pests mentioned--it is
natures way--and also to hasten the
dislodgement of ripe feathers. or rath-
er. the dead feathers they are en-
gagged in moulting and in fastening
the process generally. 1t is a good
plan to keep the early moulters in
a separate enclosure from the gener-
al flock and give them the choice bits
of food from the wastage of the kitch-
en- and the table, for variety in this
line means health and thrift for the
fowls AS the season advances and
the cooler nights come on, tempered,
or intensified by early frosts, it's a
good idea then to roost the early
moulters warmly, so that they may
keep up continuous progress and
have no back-sets of any kind. This
system of feed and management, Will
bring the hens into early fall laying
and hold them to it all through the
winter, when their eggs may either
be sold at good profit, or set in incu-
bators and converted into valuable
chickens. The early pullets should
have similar care and attention, for
they are also of much value in the
early winter season.-H. B. Geer. in

MRS. CLARENCE MACKAY'S SERN
ANTC


With the exception of the rooms
of tine valet and maid, all the house
servants rooms are located in wing
sufficiently removed from the other
portion of the house to cut off en-
tfrely the sound of any hilarity they
might care to indulge in. The bed
rooms of the butler, chef, maids. and
footmen are similarly furnished in
white-enamelled furniture and dainty
muslin curtains. The meals are serv-
ed promptly at stated hours; break
fast at seven, luncheon at twelve, and
dinner at six No servant Is expected
to be at table longer than half
hour. 1t is specified here that the
joint shall be set before the head
footman. who shall do the carving,
and that the parlor maid shall pour
the tea and coffee. Another IN
stance showing the thoughtfulness OF
the mistress of Harbor Hill for her
servants is in allowing tea to be serv-
ed for those who desire it, in the
lower servants dining-hall, between
the hours of three and four in the
afternoon Certainly afternoon tea
for the servants is not an establish
ed custom in all American homes.
1t is the chef who plans the meals
and buys the food for the Harbor
HILL household, family guests and
workmen. Menus for each day are
Submitted to the mistress OF tha
house each morning, who adds to
them or crosses out what she does
not wish, and approves them. For
ordinary occasions the chef writes
the menus, using for the purpose
plain white cards, engraved with a
lavender orchid, containing Mrs.
Mackay's monogram in gold. The
chef is assisted in the kitchen by a
second chef, four cooks, and several
kitchen maids. Every foot of the
immense Dutch kitchen is covered
with spotless white thing. and the
hood over the broad range is also OF
white. The utensils, which SHINE
like gold in the sunlight, are of heavy
copper. Tops of tables for pastry
and other uses are of white marble,
and all zines are white-enamelled.
There is a separate pastry-room ad-
joining the kitchen, with many mar
yellous contrivances for rolling and
cutting. Such order prevails here
that even the handles of the uten-
sils on the shelves are placed at uni
form angles. The chef is the head OF
the kitchen department, and servants
employed here are under his direct
Observation-Disclosures Bazaar.

KEEP A FEW SHEEP.

''The price Of sheep has reached a
point where it is profitable to produce
them for wool alone, which fact is
made more evident by visit to the
show yards of any of our leading
fairs says an old sheep breeder. IF
we can accept as reasonable authority
a large number of entries in fine wool
sheep. there is where we get a fore
runner of the future" He believes
that the most profitable sheep to
grow with the price of wool is a
medium-size sheep with a good car
cass of mutton, and good. dense
fleece of medium wool. When we
undertake to produce wooded sheep
with no reference to the mutton quail
ity and gain but a few cents worth
of wool, and when we seek only NUT
ton without regard to the wool quail,
ty We meet the same objection on
the other side" He thinks there is
room on every farm for few good
sheep. and certainly in this day,
when there are so many good breed
ers striving to excel. offering their
stock at moderate prices, there is no
excuse for any farmer to still be
growing scrubs A few sheep can be
kept on every farm with a small out
lay and with profitable results 1t is
only when one attempts to make a
specially of the sheep business that
expense becomes apparent and train

IRRIGATION ON THE FARM.

All natural streams over land are
more or less crooked, as they bend
first one way and then another to
avoid distractions. In making arti-
fetal open bitches there is at first an
almost irresistible tendency to follow
the natural course and simply deep
en- it. But after the ditch is cut, if
it is cultivated field, the crooked
places in it make serious difficulties
for the plow, the harrow, cultiyator
and the moving machine Only for
a pasture lot is the winding rivulet
running through field allowable, pro-
viding it can easily be remedied. BY
Strengthening an open drain, and put
ting sewer pipes in it, the ditch may
be filled and plowed over, making a
rich, cultiyable field of what was or
iginally only fit for growing coarse
and inferior grasses.

cULTIvAr1NG FOR A Pillow.

Farmers use the cultiyator for a
plow; that is, they cultivate deep.
with the object of loosening the soil
between the rows. If the ground is to
be broken up the pillow is the thing to
do it with, but two inches is sufici-
ent depth for cultivation. Grass and
weeds should never be allowed to
grow to height to demand "p1ow-
ing" with a cultivator. Keep the top
soil loose, and never allow grass or
weeds ito more than sprout above
ground. Deep cultivation frequently
does harm in disturbing the roots of
plants grown as a crop
