A Different Point.

At the commencement exercises or
n OF large colleges a prominent
lawyer had been asked to address the
graduates. Being very busy about that
time. he neglected to give any thought
to the subject of his discourse. On ar
rivirg at the hall where the exercises
were held he was still ct a loss for a
topic. In passing through a large
swinging door which led into he hall
itself the word Push" painted on the
door happened TO catch his eye Like a
flash 1t occurred TO him that here was
a text that hi could use very appro-
.priately. When his turn came 70 speak
he arose and addressed the audience IN
somewhat the following manner:
Young gentlemen. the subject or my
little talk with o this morning can De
expressed IN n short word: II Is a
thing without which no man Is sure or
attaining success. Gentlemen. on yon-
der door Is the word + refer to-
Every eye In the room Immediately
glanced toward the door indicated. bur
ON the inside the word Pull" WIS
plainly painted. The laughter and ap-
plause which followed were nearly
deafening. and 1t was some time before
he could explain HIS statement.

FOR PROPER YOUNG WIDOWS.


A young widow, who, If not herself sit
ting up and taking notice, yet fears that
she may be the cynosure of critical eyes.
sends the following appeal TO Vogue:
please give advice for mourning for a
young widow. What is the correct hat
and veil? Are elbow sleeves Sood taste?
What collar and cuffs are worn? What
materials and trimmings? Give model for
q travelling coat
1t is pleasant to know that in the dark
ness of her affection Young Widow is not
to be left without a CLEAN of informing
light. She pines TO bo correct. Vogue
gives her information Of so careful o
character that II she is not a model OF
proper mourning, the onus must be upon
her own soul.
Here are the latest rules for the guild
ance of young widows desiring to mourn
properly:
If YOU observe the strictest standards
YOU should wear a crepe bonnet and veil
in town and a crepe hat with crepe or
chiffon face veil in the country. There Is
only one correct way of draping a widows
veil. We do not care for any of the fancy
draoings which are sometimes seen. These
arc not good taste.
elbow sleeves are not good taste in deep
mourning. as they make too much of an
attempt In dressiness. Collars and cuffs
or sheer white organdie are worn by wild
ows. These have a deep hem and meas
ure three inches or so In width. For ma
terials use nuns yelling. henrietta cloth,
crepe de chine, chiffon, dull veilings OF
t~affctas.
Lace or embroidery are not correct trim.
mings, but You can use dull finished rib
bon. net, footings and hemstitched ruffles.
All white can be worn for summer, as il
is az deep mourning as all black for coun-
try wear. All your gowns should be simp-
ly made. For your coat use dull finished
pongee. with trimming OF stitched taffeta.

APPLE CROP LIKELY TO BE
n

If there is ever an occasion TO test the
value Of the Observation-Disclosures
idea ii is when a crop Is short: from all
available reports this is likely to be the
case with apples this fall and winter. A
short crop will make high prices, hence
the grower is justified in getting all he
can for his crop. There will be many
thousands Of barrels put on the market,
and these will supply the want of those
who can afford only the lowest market
price. On the other hand there are very
many families who can afford to pay the
highest price, but they want the best and
they want 1t attractively presented. Try
the plan Of asserting into three grades.
No. /, the choicest possible specimens,
wrap in tissue paper and pack in ten
pound grape baskets; for these a high
price can be readily obtained. Grade 2,
those not good enough for grade !, pack
in barrels in the usual way. Grade 8, too
small for grade 2, keep at home, using
the best for apple sauce and apple pies,
and those not fit for the table feed to the
pigs and other stock. 1t will pay to look
into this matter now while the crop Is
maturing and see where the best market
are for the high grade fruit. Large cities,
Of course, will take the largest supplies.

THE SEVERAL VARIETIES OF
ROCKS.

1t depends largely upon what is wanted
for market eggs or carcass what breed
should be chosen. The smaller breeds,
Leghorns, Minorcas and others will lay
more eggs than the larger sorts, but for
the carcass market are not nearly so re-
liable. Gong over a record for five years
and in a section where the demand was
very insistent for white eggs we have
foun that the Plymouth Rocks, barred
and buff, have paid us a larger profit than
the Leghorns although we were obliged TO
sell many eggs at less than we obtained
for Leghorns eggs. On the other hand, the
money received for the carcass was so
much in excess of that received for the
Leghorn carcasses that we made a greater
profit, as stated. During two years past
we have gradually weaned many of our
customers from the white egg to hat laih
by the rocks, and have placed a much
higher price on the Leghorn eggs so that
It pays us TO keep q small flock and not
count the carcass Of any value. All things
considered we consider the larger breeds
preferable to the smaller ones in the long

CARE OF COWS AT NIGHT.

~
While there is a difference of opinion as
to whether the COWS are better off in the
barn or on the pasture at night during the
summer, there should be no question as
10 the care they should have in either
case. Under certain conditions and espc-
cially if the pasture Is near the barns cows
are often benefited by a night pasture, but
there ought to be some place in the form
of a shed where the COW could go for pro-
lection in the event of . storm. Then too.
the pasture should be provided with wa
ter so that the cows could have what they
want at night. If they have been on the
pasture during the day they will hardy
be inclined TO Craze much at night so they
should have a feed of grain before dark
ness comes on, If they are to spend the
night in the. barn they should be pro-
tected from flies and other insects, be well
watered before being put in the stall and
have some hay 10 munich over IL so in
clined. We like the shed attachment 10
the barn better than any other plan ar
ranging il so they may have perfect free
dom OF movement yet be entirely safe.
GRAIN FOR THE COWS.
Those who are raising the cows during
the summer on what grass they get from
the pasture and without the feeding Of
grain are making a serious mistake. No
matter how valuable and thick the pas
ture Is 1t Is impossible to keep the COW to
the milking point which means good profit
on the grass alone. One need only try
both plans to ascertain the truth of this
for himself. Further, 1t Is a well known
fact that cows kept on grass alone during
the summer do not quickly respond to the
grain when brought into winter quarters;
that is. 1t requires some time to make good
the animal loss from lack of grain before
there is any appreciate increase in the
milk product. This being the case what
have we gained by withholding the grain
during the summer. Again, it has been
demonstrated that a lot OF cows grain fed
one summer and not the next will produce
more milk the second summer than cows
kept for two successive seasons on grass
alone. Then too. Ii is only fair that some
value should be counted in the better ma
nure which will come from the animals fed
On grain as a part of their ration. The
idea Is worth consideration and expert
menting.
PACKAGES TO FIT fHE PRODUCT.
If the grower has something better than
the average to offer the consumer his main
concern regarding a package should be
not to find some regular size but to make
a size holding the quantity of the product
which can be the most readily sold at a
profit. 1t is folly TO pack things IN half
bushel packages when the demand Is for
PACKAGES containing a peck. Just now, In
some sections the regulation crate used for
years to pack onions in is popular for 9TH
err vegetables and for some fruits Tbs
