Put in Some Early Corn.

A few acres OF early corn will come
in mighty nice after the pastures
have been eaten down so that they
offer a scant living. An acre or two
of evergreen sweet corn is first rate
to start off the feeding season with,
and then, unless you have a very
early dent corn. plant a few acres
in some flint corn. This makes ideal
stuff for August feeding and 1t will
tide over until the regular field crops
can be used. This is a matter OF
much importance this season, because
many have sold their last years crop
down close and the pastures and the
early crops must be depended upon
to carry the stock up to fall. Mil
let is another crop which will MI in
nicely after the pastures are gone.
After the fine feed the pastures are
now giving, stock will need plenty of
green food to keep them going up to
fall, c. Brown. in the Tribune

Latitude in Fashions.

A fashion note from New YORK
tells us that a considerable amount
of latitude is to be allowed to women
in the matter of new costumes. They
may wear any kind of sleeves that
they like. They may be long or short,
depending upon whether the arms
are of the kind that one wishes to
show or to conceal. But this apparent
generosity is intended only as a lubri-
cant to an infexible rigor elsewhere.
The edict against waists and against
hips is to be enforced to the utter
most. Here there will be no latitude
and no concession. The devotee who
would fulfill the law to the uttermost
must present the appearance of hav-
ing been liquified and then poured
into the dress. And the dress is en-
tirely without those undulations that
prove the presence of things unseen,
the waist and the hips.
The edict against waist and hips
has been received with mingled emo
tions. In some instances it meets
with easy and instant acquiescence,
but elsewhere there are protests and
maledictions. 1t is easy to under
stand a compliance that means no
more than the discarding of those
useful appliances that are prodigally
displayed at the bargain counter ard
pictorially advertised in the daily
newspapers. But how about the
ladies whose hips are fixtures and
who have received from mother ma
ture without money and without
price what less favored ones must
purchase from art and mechanical
skill? Their lot is truly a hard one,
for to the mere male mind it seems
bewildering impossibility thus to

Crusade Against plumes.

whether the particular means he
has adopted will achieve their object
or not, there will be cordial approval
OF Lord Ayebury's crusade against
the wearing OF the plumes of certain
wild or rare birds. It is indeed
strange that women, who so often
lead the world in humanitarian SEN
timent. seem to have absolutely no
feeling in this matter; what fashion
DEGREES they obey blindly even
though their adornment involves the
destruction of the parent bird during
the nesting season and the slaughter

auctions held in London during the
last six months of 1907 there were
catalogued 1912 skins of birds OF
paradise, some $4,000 nesting

whole year 10000 egrets were sold
So much for the humanity of fashion;
and there Is a regrettable tendency
to push the matter further, and to
wear hatpins of hare's feet, and such
like horrible ornaments" The pre-
seryation of a beautiful animal is
more important than the decoration
OF a hat in o manner which q little
reflection would show to be repulslye:
but We are not sure that legislation
will prove stronger than fashion. Wo-
men generally contrive to make a law
look ridiculous when 1t suits their
purpose; and acts such as that OF
Queen Alexandra, who refuses to
wear ospreys, and has made it known
that she objects TO ladies wearing
them who are in her entourage. will
probably be OF as much effect as a
dozen bills. Laws are useless against
the uneducated. and until those who
design and those who weekly follow
the dictates OF fashion are educated
to sense Of the cruelty their con-
duct involves there is little hope for
the birds, which are the unfortunate
victims of both.-London Globe.

The Wyandottes.

Taking the country over. the two
breeds most largely represented at
the shows are the Plymouth Rocks
and the Wyandottes. There are no
shows in which they are not repre-
sented and the classes are usually
large and good. This prominence OF
the two breeds is not without reason.
They combine the utility and fancy
points to as great an extent as any
breed, they have prestige and have
been bred long enough to a definite
standard to give the greatest play
to the talent OF the fancier.
Like the Plymouth Rocks the wy
andottes are made breed. but the
making Is now an accomplished fact
and while there is always room for
improvement the breeder knows what
to expect and will not find more than
the due proportion OF culls from his
matches.

The ermine may not be a very use-

when one sees so many of his pelts in

suggests a problem. Considering the

ness and value of the kind of women

this decoration they affect quite worth
what it entails in the way of cruelty?
OF course. the egrets and other birds
one sees are more beautiful on wom-

singing among the trees. but the main
problem is whether the results Sc

women are in proportion to what they
