ALL WEAR SHlRTWAIST RINGS.

"Shirtwaist Rings" they are labeled
They are the simple massive rings
that some women prefer to wear with
morning attire in place of their jew

noon and evening.
All the various forms OF seal rings
now popular are included In the shirt

more especially for rings Of severely
plain design set with semi-precious
stones OF tho kinds that will stand
hard wear and even soap and water.
Many of the shirtwaist rings are
plain bands Of twisted or braided gold
or silver. Some are fashioned like
snakes. Most, however, are stone set

liked stones, as 1t Is becoming to any

DO COWS NEED PHOSPHATE?
An Experience That Has Raised
New Query.

During the past summer we have
treated the growing heap of manure
in our barn yard every two weeks to
a sprinkling of ground phosphate rock,
or floats. Some Of the ground rock
was scattered on the ground next to
the barnyard fence away from the
manure. We noticed the COWS were
eagerly gnawing away at the ground,
and thought first some salt had been
scattered there. Examination proved,
however, that they were licking up
the phosphate rock, doing so very
greedily.
Now here is new question: The
cows are fairly wild for the phosphate
rock. Why? Is it that they feel the
need of this form of phosphorus? We
wonder if any of our brother dairymen
have ever discovered the same thing
in their COWS? We had before dis
covered that pigs will eat the ground
rock greedily II they can get it. Phos-
phorus is very essential, to a certain
extent, in the animal economy
We would like very much to hear
from some OF our experiment stations
Or from individual dairymen if they
have had experience in this line, says
Hoards Dairyman. The expert
ment made with pigs by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station. in feeding one
lot with certain allowance Of phos-
plate and denying 1t entirely to an
other lot, convinced us that there Is
something valuable for all feeders to
learn in this direction.

SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES.
Dozen Inhabitants In One; In Another
Only Two Houses.

Probably few people know that this
country contains number OF par
ishes so small that their population
can be housed under one or two roofs.
For instance, Upper Eldon. near
Stockbridge, consists of two houses,
which with an eleventh century church
and tiny Gods Acre" in the middle
of a farmyard adjoining one OF tho
dwellings, comprise the whole parish.
Not much larger is the population OF
Lullington, FIVE miles from Eastbourne.
Small as its church is-the interior
dimensions are only 16 feet square
1t is quite large enough for the inhab-
itants.
In Grove near Lighton Buzzard,
there are only about a dozen inhabi-
tants. the parish containing a modern
farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny
church. At Rhyd. in Flintshire, while
there are only three adult inhabitants,
the village contains five cottages and
one ship. Until recently there were
two licensed houses, one Of which still
remains.-Tit-Bits

DAIRY DOTS AND DASHEs.

On most American farms it is not
necessary to keep the cows in crowd
ed quarters, yet we often see small
dairy barns on big farms, and the
cows crowded close together.
The prejudice in favor of beefy
cows is still a great obstacle in the
way of the progress of dairying.

clean than it is small one.
