HairpIns and Other Pins.

Hairpins have been elaborated as a
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy of their work

at Salamis in Cyprus. and are now in
the British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins of later
date. with their shank of brass. head
of gold, and establishment of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the
larger sort of pins SO conspicuously
and frequently mentioned in the Bible.
The instrument driven by Jael through
the temple of Sisera was probably a
tent-pin, while Delilah fastened the
web of Samson's hair with pin or
batten. In the middle ages pins were
great fashion-indeed, great ne
cessity-in France, and we have it on
record that in 1347 $1,000 pins were
removed from the royal wardrobe for
one of the French princesses. The
convenience was probably little
later in reaching England, but in 1540
we hear of Queen Catherine (Howard)
importing pins from France. In 1850
the trade underwent considerable
change, brass superseding iron. while
at the same time the price was low

Woman Who Can Do Things.

Gen. Sir Robert Baden-Powell be-
lieves in the woman who can do
things, and the other day he held up
Lady Baden-Powell as an exponent of
this much-desired art. The chief and
founder of the Boy Scout movement
was describing a tour that his wife
and he recently made in Algeria. Il

pan, and that was a saucepan. 1t had
to do for frying our fish in the morn

After the lady had done the fried fish
she had to get some grass roots and
sand and scrub the pot out SO that we
could make our coffee in it. The lady
was quite able to do it, and she did 1t
well. She also did the washing. But"

Need for Oxygen Supply.

That there is less oxygen in the
rarefled air of celebrated mountain
health resorts than in any room with
closed windows, no matter how
crowded with persons. was an unchal
lneged statement made in the Times
by the English expert on ventilation,
DR.. Leonard Hill. The British Royal
society has Just published a paper
supplementary to the report on the
Anglo-American Pixies Peak expedi-
ton by Miss NJ. P. Fitzgerald, which
concludes with the statement that
"arterial blood contains considerably
more oxygen at high attitudes than
at sea level" The lungs are better
ventilated. for one thing. but 1t is Ger
tain, also. that the old theory that the
lungs should be plentifully supplied
with chemically pure air must be dis
carded. The little cell-like alveoH at
the ends of the lung branches have a
special power of extracting oxygen.
even while the supply Of extracting
oxygen in the air is deficient. This Sc
cretory power is increased at high al
titudes, and the increase does not dis
appear until a considerable time after
descent to sea level

Care of Horses,

1t 10 2 very good practice to clip
horses, partly or in whole, at this
time Of the year. We believe that the
European custom of clipping the legs
and belly as high as the traces come,
is rather better than our own usual
method OF either clipping all over or
stopping just above the knees and
hooks. Any clipping which frees the
lower part of the horses body from
long hair is decided advantage while
the muddy period lasts. and this is
particularly true during the raw cold
spring weather and late winter.
than to save the horse.
Half clipping allows what mud ad-
heres to the belly and legs to be cas-
lily removed. and the skin then dries
rapidly. Nature is surprised by the
first warm weather in the spring, the
horse still has his heavy coat Of win
ter hair. and he perspires profusely at
his ordinary work. Most of the sweat
soaks down on the legs and belly,
keeping the whole horse wet from its
vapor. II this can be overcome, the
rest of the horses body can be dried
OF with comparative ease. The only
year is to clip the lower half OF all of
the body
Clipping the lower part of the legs
only simply aids in keeping these
parts free from mud. and this sort OF
clipping is done more to save work
There are not many who advocate
or practice clipping the entire body
early in the spring. This is valu-
able and perfectly feasible practice
where the driver knows his business
and protects the horse from sudden
changes and bad weather. but 1t is
safer to follow the half clipping plan
for most horse owners, until warm
weather has come to stay. and with
Its advent most of the reason for clip
ping horses departs.
Pneumonia and kindred diseases are
more prevalent at this time of year
than at any other. and this prevalence
is due more TO changing seasons and
work than to any other one cause. AS
far as possible, avoid getting your
horses too warm. and protect them

BEST FOOD FOR BROOD soWs
Skinned MIX Mixed With Wheat
Bran or Ground Oats Is Excellent
Ration for Shoats.

The best food for brood sows is
skinned milk mixed with wheat bran
or ground oats. Boiled roots mixed
with wheat bran and wheat middlings
is healthy and economical food.
The brood SOW should be kept in good
condition, but 1t fat. Corn is not a
suitable food: few ears of corn
may be fed after the slop is eaten. il
the SOW is thin. A small grass pas
ture should adjoin the pens; let ITEM
have tic use Of this pasture every
suitable day; she needs exercise.
Wellcured clover hay, cut fine and
mixed in the millfeed slop, will reduce
t grain ration. See that the pens
are clean and dry; give warm
bed of straw or leaves-leaves make
tn best bed for pigs. The hogs
should not be kept in dirty yards or
allowed to run in the yard with stock.
Never let the hogs burrow in the
fermenting manure, as it is certain
to give them lung disease and skin
disease. If the hogs cannot have a
grass pasture they should have raw
roots and freshly dug grass sods
every day. Give plenty of fresh.
clean water and a liberal supply of
burnt wood, wood ashes and coal.
The best food for shoats is equal
quantities of ground oats and peas
boiled and mixed with wheat bran.
Give the slop luke warm in cold
weather. Have feed trough clean.
No rancid slop should be fed. A
well-bred SOW that will rear a litter
Of pigs and is a good mother is worth
$50 Have separate pen for each
SOW. Make fender rail around the
pen to prevent the sow from crushing
the young pigs. Sows will farrow Is
