cows. We should choose the breed we
like the best and then stay with 1t.
Fowls are naturally hardy, and con-
tagion In a flock is due to careless

This is proved by the fact that ex-

sick chickens.

FABRICS OF SILK AND WOOL.
Latest Decree Of Fashion Has Over
Swallowed Everything Previously
In Vogue.

There are more silk and wool ma
terials put ON the counters each week
New ones that were kept until late in
the season have been shown to the
public. These are made up into coat
suits or one-piece frocks, and are
often striped.
Some of the colors come with a
plain surface for the skirt and a
striped surface for the coat Silk-and-
wool bengaline is possibly the favor
lite of them all. The corded fabrics
are in the height of fashion. The idea
even runs into shantung and pongee.
There seems no end to the latter
weave. 1t overspreads everything
else. Just why is hard to say, for it
is rather raglike when made up and
cannot be depended on for graceful
lines.
Some of the weaves are delightful
for house frocks, and as the material
has practically no weight, it makes a
most comfortable frock for this hot
climate.
One of the latest weaves in 1t has Q
diagonal cord through 1t. 1t is very
wide and heavy, much like the stylish
serge we have worn all winter.

The earliest method of securing the
wool was to drive the sheep quickly
through narrow passage, and the
squeezing and rubbing of one against
another loosened and detached the
wool. Later, an improved" plan was
adopted, which, in our ears, sounds
somewhat inhumane, although, as a
matter of fact, u done at the right
time, there would probably be moth
ing painful or severe about II. The
sheep were caught, and the wool was
pulled from their backs by hand.
This practice continued for many hun
dreds of years, for although Laban
and the other great pastoralists of his
time clipped their sheep. Pliny tells
us that, in his day, when Rome was
in the zenith of her glory, the sheep
are not everywhere shorn, but the
custom of pulling off the wool con

WHITEWASH WITH
THE SPRAY PUMP
BY w. H. Underwood.

1t is generally understood that many

caused by germs of one kind or an
other that may remain dormant for
years in litter about the stables. Such
are hog and calf cholera, lump jaw.
navel i'll, infectious abortion, tubercu-
losis, etc. There are also parasites
that infest the barns which cause barn
itch. scab, mango and kindred dis
eases. II Is. therefore. OF the utmost
Importance that the barns be made
clean and kept as clean as possible.

were so festooned with cobwebs that

half gallon OF salt will make the white
