hats were rather small white leghorn at

naauvre gowns.
A hat seen on one of the guests at this
wedding had the draped veil back. The
hat was rather fiat and oval in shape, with
an almost straight brim. Ii was medium

Novelty in Trimming.

A new and somewhat peculiar trimming
notion consists in the posing on the foot of
cloth or velvet dresses of a broad band of
white cloth. 1t is from eight to ten inches
wide and is placed about an inch above the
edge of the skirt. On it is placed second
band either of gold embroidery or gold
spangled heavy lace about one-third of it's
width. not In the center, but arranged so
as to leave space OF couple of inches of

months that the loss OF ones purse, the
untimely demise of the domestic canary.

AngOra Goats.

The Angora goat is destined to be-
come one of the most valuable of the
domestic animals, and their recent
popularity Is something that they
have long deserved. Formerly the
public was prejudiced against Ar
CORA venison, but the growers and
butchers have demonstrated its ex-
cellence, and now there are but few
mutton eaters who do not like goat
meat. The result is a steady reInu-
nerative market demand for Angora
goats, but the raising of them is con-
fined almost exclusively to the Rocky
Mountain and Pacific coast States.
In Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
iona there are many herds ranging
from 800 to 1000 in each flock. The
average price obtained for mohair
for six months clip is 23B cents
per pound. This is a good average
price and decidedly remunerative.
Nearly all the goat raisers in those
localities are paying special attention
to the breeding of fine stock, and the
result during the past six years has
developed some very fine stock and
for which good prices have been OBJ
tanned
In the opinion of many expert
enced and successful stock raisers
there Is great future for the An
CORA goat because of its many fine
points and valuable uses that can be
made OF them Oh the farm. The
hair from the Angora goat makes a

The Care of Hogs.

1t is neither profitable nor always
safe to keep great numbers of hogs
together Besides the liability of
disease getting among them there is
always the certainty that the strong
err will crowd the weaker from their
feeding places, so that the Unequal
ity in sizes will increase instead of
decrease. In every litter there are
always one or two weaklings that
were born runts, and unless given a
better chance than their fellows they
will always remain small and weakly.
The best way to manage this Is
when the pigs are seven or eight
weeks old to take out the strongest
ones and wean them. giving them
plenty OF the best food that can be
got to make growth. Then the runts
left to suckle the SOW alone, will in
two or three weeks more take start
that will make them as good AS the
others. so that in later life all can
be fed together. No other feed +.
without the sow's milk, will do this,
though other foods should be given.
and the pigs be encouraged to eat
all that they can he made to eat.

fabric which rivals that of silk. A
good goat will produce from 4 to 9
pounds of this class of mohair, which
ranges in price from rs to 40 cents
per pound, according to the length,
quality and luster of the hair.
The most valuable service Which
the Angora performs on the farm is
in clearing brush land. There IL
nothing that kills brush and trees
quicker than the constant nibbling
away of the tender leaves and bark,
which constitutes the best food for
goat, although they will eat any
class of food that is fed to domestic
animals. There is no reason why the
Angora goat venison should not be
considered as dainty meat as that
of the deer. If the health of the
animal is a criterion for the purity
and healthfulness of the meat, there
is no flesh food comparable with that
of the Angora goat.

Farm Notes.

Don't plan to keep too many hogs
through the winter; they scatter too
many corn cobs about the place.
Draft horses are in good demand,
and will continue to be. The same
may be said of light harness teams.
Charcoal, or screenings or slack
from coal mines is good for hogs.
The auto may have frightened the
horse, but it has not driven him out
of business.
The effectiveness of whitewash in
the poultry house is much increased
by applying it hot and getting it in
to the cracks and corners. Always
add plenty of salt.
The best effect is produced upon
scalded poultry by dipping them in
to hot water after they are picked,
and then putting them into cold wa
ter until thoroughly cooled.
Times have so changed that no
careful poultryman thinks of feed
ing much soft poultry food nor of
placing it upon the ground. He
feeds dry food mostly. and puts 1t
into troughs or upon boards.

articles which should be made daily

At one time the Turbit was the

to have been forsaken by the expert
breeders, though some few have
stuck to it and have continued to

greatest quality.
