KEEP BROOD SoWS SEPARATE

From Their Ration.

Breeding sows should be separated
from the porkmakers and most Of the

work disaster to the breeding SOW, for
as she fattens she becomes lazy and
takes very little exercise. This tardy
task Is costly to the breeder Of swine,
for instead Of vigorous, active pigs, he
will have uneven. puny sQuealers. that
persist In crawling under the bedding
and around the place where the moth
er usually settles, and then he is done
for. Exercise above all else is con.
ductive to strong filters. while the
sow's ration should be made up large

such as oats. bran. skim milk. short

makes the heaviest hog. but rather the

freely and fight for his special platter

The Drought In india.

The Indian climate Is as stable as
our own has recently become. Only
on rare occasions does the weather
afford q topic Of conversation. But
one of those rare occasions 10 now
with US. The event dominating In
dian rural life Is the monsoon, which
is expected in June and blows till
September. Should the monsoon fail
the crops perish and famine is upon
the people. This summer the rains
have proved deplorably feeble. There
Is still time for the crops to be saved,
and as heavy clouds are generally re-
ported, the situation is by no means
hopeless. But there Is grave cause
for anxiety. A shortage Of rain is re-
ported from lat stations, and already
there Is serious trouble over prao-
ticaIly the whole Of northwestern In
dia.
One bright feature relieves the gen.
eral blackness Of the position. In the
T-ited Provinces and the Punjab irri-
CATION works have partially made up
for the failure Of rain. It happens
that the spring snowfall in the HI
malayas was exceptionally heavy, so
that there is plenty Of water. II is
certain that the anxiety which has
been felt in the Punjah these last few
days win develop into a demand for
new and more comprehensive irriga-
ton works.-London Globe.

The all-feather turbans and hats are
difficult to make, and exquisite; they
are therefore expensive. There are
many beautiful feathers and feather
ornaments, however, within the reach
of everyone. Good. fancy feathers do
not go out OF style. Those In natural
colorings are natures paintings. and
people with an eye for beauty will al
ways appreciate them.
In dealing with ostrich feathers,
men have become so expert In dye
ing and manipulating that they have
produced them In all lovely COL
ors and shades and in many In
tricate combinations Of color. A
great variety Of what is termed
fancy ostrich" is now permanent
feather among millinery trimmings.
Some feathers, like the graceful bird
Of paradise, are most beautiful in the
natural coioring and, after this, white
is the best choice for them. The nat
ural feather Of the peacock is incom-
parably splendid. This feather, bleach
ed to white, retains shadowy markings,
and looks like the delicate ghost Of
feather. One sees the white peacock
so rarely that 1t is for all time un-
forgetable.
The liking for feathers Is commend
Gble, an indication Of good taste.

Enr Six EmhroIdsrIss.

There are some things not Of com
mon knowledge by far that the en-
broiderer in silk win be very glad to
learn. One Of these is the use Of an
aluminium thimble in place Of the sill
YER or gold one Of which you might
be the proud possessor. The steel or
the silver Of gold thimbles are worked
into shape, and this causes the silk to
catch on them to the annoyance Of
the .crocheter. Now the everywhere
apparent and little used aluminium
thimble is pressed into shape and
therefore has no metal projections,
which though infinitesimal are still
large enough to haggle and harass the
silk. For the same reason use a larg.
or needle. The silk will pass through
the cloth easier.

When a real grown-up elderly James
decides that 1t is time for him to range

when she asked his friends she did
