CARR OF STOCK.

No animal can remain at stand
still without loss to it's owner. If the
animal is not gaining, then the labor
and food are wasted. If the animal
loses only a pound in weight, then
the farmer suffers loss of that which
he once had, and he must incur addi-
tional expense to recover that addi-
tional pound, but the time lost can
not be recovered. These facts show
the Importance of keeping the stock in
good condition and having an animal
make an increase daily. When there
is falling off in the weight, or the
yield of milk is reduced, the cause
should be sought, and if an error has
occurred; or there is fault in the man.
agement, a change for the better
should be made without delay.

BLACK FOREST GIRLS.

The one special glory of the Black
Forest girl is her "schappel," which
she wears only on occasions of mar
riage, christening or some high feast
day. In effect it is towering bush
covered with gold and silver orna-
ments, scraps of pearl, coral beads,
bits of glass, mixed here and there
with artificial flowers. Many of these
are two and three hundred years old,
and their value varies according to
the wealth of the possessor.
The glass ornaments which seem
to form the basis of these remarkable
creations were brought from Venice
and Florence by early trav slers. Girls
of succeeding generations, on their
bridal days or other festival occa-
sions. have added the bits of coral
and precious stones. The unwieldy
decoration is tied on the head by
broad ribbons, and together with
wide Elizabethan ruff, a black dress,
string of ornaments around the neck
and a silver girdle complete the we'd
ding costume.
There are usually not more than
one of these headdresses in family,
yet at the weddings of the wealthiest
peasants in the neighborhood of st.
Georges, 20 or 40 such ornaments may
be seen at the ceremony and at the
dance that invariably follows.
The bridal dress of the Black Forest
maiden is henceforth her festival gar
ment. The outfit that her mother
gives her remains unchanged through
all the vicissitudes of her married
life. In fact, the older the garment
the greater the value it possesses In
the eyes of the owner, and the girls
who went to the grand dukes celebra-
ton in dresses that came from the
home loom 200 years ago, and which
had seen wear in 10 different genera
lions, had, in peasant eyes, the most
attractive garments that were seen
there.

keep in mind when matching up the

much trouble. A correspondent says,
give the colt some light farm work
at first, such as blowing or narrowing.
That is risky. We would never hitch
"a colt to a harrow. One never knows
what they are going to do, and har-
arow is mean thing to get horse
mixed up in. Would rather give the
colts the light driving, and as they
become seasoned give them some
heavier work. Match up the colts as
soon as possible, and when the teams
are matched up, don't change them
around unless for good reason. Horses
have to learn how to pull and work
ogether.-Tndiana Farmer.

THR DOLLAR"

y Ha ..l
There is no sentiment about q dollar.
It rests as peacefully in the filthy
pockets of beggar
AS it does in the silken purse of the
millionaire.
It's blanket that covers multitude
of sins.
It brings Joy today-It's the cause OF
sorrow tomorrow.
1t never speaRs-yet it talks.
It circulates freely-yet it keeps in
hiding.
It's the ruination of millions;
1t lifts millions out of the depths or
despair.
1t comes with promise of gladness.
It leaves many disappointments.
We tremble at it's strength
Yet we can crush it with one hand.
It's always the same-yet it's ever
changing.
The lack of it promotes industry.
The excess of it causes idleness.
It creates trouble-it brings peace.
It makes one restful-it makes one
restless.
It lubrieates the axle the world re-
wolves upon.
Withal it's a silent friend.
Without it we perish,
For the world lets him
Severely alone
who has not dollar
He can call his own.

Love imputes no motive, sees the

Draped bodices continue in high
favor among slender girls.
Plaids naturally need very little
trimming, and that generally is sub
dued colors.
The scarf must not be COMPOUNDED
with the veil (now worn very long
and bordered round the edge.)
Tans, very light modes and grays
are the best shades to buy in gloves
il you want to be right up to date in
your dress.
The 1.-the lines and small waist de-
manded by the fashionable figure
make careful corseting imperative.
The truly fashionable woman now
adays is careful that her couture is
in keeping with the elegance and
trimness of her costume.

DON'T THINK YOU ARE OLD.

A certain amount of social life is
absolutely essential to the old as well
as to the young. A woman never
grows SO old that she ceases to enjoy
the company of others, and generally
the older she grows the more she en-.
joys it. 1t is always pity to see
man fall into state which he ex-
plains by saying: ooh, we're getting
old, and don't care for so much va
riety in our lives,' says Woman's Life.
In the pure selfishness of his soul he
always speaks of Jus" and "we," as
if it naturally follows that because
he is getting antiquated his wife must
keep pace with him in his decline.
Let him keep in touch with the world,
and both he and his. wife will be the
better and the younger for it.

rHE PEACH rREE BoRER.

The peach borer is a wasp-like in
sect, with transparent wings and a
richly-ornamented body, banded and
striped with gold, and deposits its
eggs about the base of the trunk of
the tree. The eggs hatch out, the
larvae bore into the sap-wood, and
cause an emulation of gummy matter,
which appears in masses about the
base of the tree. The larvae seem
partly to live in this gummy substance
and partly in the sap-wood OF the
tree. < Sometimes three or four are
found on the same tree, occasionally
girdling and destroying it, but always
inducing more or less of a diseased
condition and impairing its vigor. AL
together it is a very Objectionable
and destructive insect.

PRUNING FRUIT TREES.


Past experience has caused me to
be confident that we should prune our
bearing trees annually and properly,
cutting out all dead limbs and about
one-fourth to one-half of all fruit spurs
and keeping all struggling ends of
long branches cut back. Also keep
the top open SO that it may have the
benefit of the air and light. Allow
none of these trimmings or fallen
fruit to rot in the orchard. Burn the
brush and let the pigs and sheep eat
the fallen fruit. If every one would
practice this, there would be more
and better fruit When 1 have gath
cred my fruit crop 1 turn the cows
into, the orchard, for they are fond
of the fruit.
I believe the greatest loss to the
fruit grower is caused by the neglect
of proper pruning Of trees and vines;
and especially is this true of the
peach. Proper pruning will prevent
the forming of too many fruit buds,
and the dropping of immature fruit
will save thinning in some seasons,
which is big help to the busy farm
er. Personally, I value pruning and
early cultivation of trees and vines
more than any other operation in
fruit culture.-L. r. Durkee, Hamp.

ONE WAY TO. MAKE HENS LAY.
The question is often asked, how
can make my hens lay? The fol-
lowing, from the Poultry Yard, tells
how it may be done:
When hens, especially old ones have
been on full feed for months, the egg
production often drops to very low
point, and may remain there indefi-
nitely even on a good laying ration.
In such cases the best plan is to re-
duce the feed sharply or even to
starve the hens if on range for ten
days or two weeks, and then resume
heavy feeding. In most cases they
will soon be making satisfactory
record
A well-known poultry editor used to
get great deal of credit by his abil-
ity to tell folks why their hens didn't
lay. His invariable answer to the
question was, Hens too fat. Starve
them" The merit Of this answer was
that it didn't in the least matter what
the condition of the hens might be, a
short period on scant rations, followed
well on poor hens, generally as on fat
ones, unless the poor hens had been
by full feeding, was almost certain to
start them laying. 1t worked just as
starved already

WOMAN IN OvERALLS; RAISING
TURKEYS.

Mrs. Ida M. Cook, a Lynn woman,
wear overalls, tills the soil, guides
the pillow, does carpentry work and
shoots small game with the pro-
ficiency of an old marksman.
A few years ago, says the Boston
Herald, Mrs. Cook was obliged to
give up life indoors on account of
poor health. The physician told her
that plenty of air and outdoor work
would restore her to her former vigor,
so she started to cultivate gar
den.
One day when she was pulling
weeds out of the cabbage patch she
tripped and stumbled on her skirt,
tearing a hole in it. While going into
the house to take off the torn dress
she Noticed pair of her fathers
overalls hanging in the entry, and
the thought struck her that they were
just the thing for woman to wear
while working in the garden.
She lost no time in putting them
on, found them great improvement
on the clumsy skirt, and has worn
overalls ever since when pursuing out
door tasks around her estate.
A farmers wife near Parsons has
found that raising turkeys is better
than digging gold or holding Standard
Oil stock. She marketed her turkeys
last week and went home with her
pocket full of gold.
This woman was Mrs. ]. F. Leon
ard, living seven miles southeast OF
Parsons. Last spring she started to
raise this years crop of turkeys with
a big flock of young birds. She work
ed hard during the spring and sum
mer months to keep the rats and
rain from getting away with them.
Last fall she looked upon the flock
Of fine large birds. When she round
ed them up and brought them to Par
sons to market there were 1873 of
them, and, as the average weight was
ten or twelve pounds each, at the
market price she received more than
$3.50 for the two loads they made.
