New and fashionable colors being
displayed on the silk and velvet coun-
tiers reflect hues of precious and semi
precious stones. Among the attractive
mineral colors are malachite (deep
blue), azurite. (blue and green). rho
donite (pink or flesh red) and zoisite
(deep rose); this last hue is some
times described as thule. and is an ex-
quisite shade of rose that looks par
ticularly well In face cloth and soft
velvets such as are being used for
toilettes. Going over the list of un-

One cover may be procured at a

is mistake There should never be
any loops or bows on top of the shout

be as fat as possible. The object of the

be adjusted to fit both long and short

put these garments on and have these

Utillring Corn Fodder.

1t Is desirable to utilize all the food
value there is in the corn fodder,
though the usual way of feeding it to
the stock is a very wasteful method
Where the daily supply Of fodder Is
thrown in the barnyard at feeding
time, what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed, so far
as the feeding value is concerned. The
leaves and the tops are all stock will
eat From one e-third to one-half the
length of the fodder is readily eaten in
racks without cutting. When the stalks
are heavy, coarse and hard, the upper
half may be cut for feed with sharp
broadax and heavy block If but few
cattle are fed. For larger herd we
have adopted large shearing knife,
, homemade, which soon shears enough
for days feeding.
| The cutting knife or shears Is best
made from an old blade of crosscut
saw. After the handles have been re-
moved, get stout piece of iron (a)
about eight inches long and one and
tone-quarter inches thick. Have about
five inches of this slit up to receive the
back Of the saw.
Punch holes through both and rivet
together. Near the end Of this iron
have hole drilled or turn an eye on
it to receive strong bolt. Rivet a
strong handle on the other end, as
shown at C, long enough to give good
beverage, say two and one-half to three
feet. Grind the blade down to a good
sharp cutting edge, attach the cutter
at d to a strong post or upright so il
will have plenty of swing. Put heavy

narlex a. a Feed for Hnr..

The advisability of feeding barley
to pigs, and the methods to pursue in SO
doing, is well worthy of agitation. That
pigs are desirable on the farm is an
established fact. Food must be pro-
vided for them, and so far the one most
generally used has been corn, either
alone or with shorts and milk. But in
much of the northwest corn cannot BE-
matured, or is crop too uncertain and
expensive to be practicable. In such
regions, barley is a reliable crop; and
If 1t can be utilized generally for pigs
a great advantage to the industry Will
have been secured.

Feeding AnimaIs.

The common mode Of feeding ami
mails is to give them grain In separate
trough from hay or fodder, and at diff
ferent times. Such method is preferred
because 1t saves labor. but the best re-
suits are obtained by mixing the ground
grain with coarse food that has been
passed through the feed cutter. Less
food will then be required to obtain re-
suits, because the mixed food will be
better digested and assimilated than
when the substances are given sepa-
rately,

Curing Mango In Hogs

Mango in hogs is not difficult to cure
and seldom causes death. 1t Is caused
by a parasite under the surface Of the
skin, which produces irritation and
later a scab. This is contagious. The
best treatment is to wash the pigs In
soft water and soap, then rub In dry
sulphur. Repeat In a week. A third
treatment is seldom necessary.

Experiments In the feeding Of car

seed meal may be allowed with the
hay, which should be cut fine and the
linseed meal sprinkled over it.
