Rotation of crops and di--r f!Tei farming and stock raising are -e plans to be adopted for laying the 3wt foundation for the success of the ATBre farmer, and, as it costs no more raffe a well bred animal than it does raise a scrub, better sell off the in SrTier stock, and in the future raise mine but the very best to consume the erops raised.

Ground wheat and mixture of ground corn and barley are practically equal in feeding value, pound for pound In daily production. Pound f ir pound, also, prairie hayvanl timothy are eiiuil in efficiency. The profitable dairy cow should not only make a large yield per diy. but throughout which the production should be large. The record of the Minnesota experiment station dairy herd shows that a cow having proper dairy form and heredity may be a superior cow for the adiry and yet never make a yield of fourteen pounds in a single week of her life, while another cow not having sujh for and heredity may take over twelve pounds of butter when fresh and yet be an unprofitable cow In the dairy. Gentleness with cows at milking time, and indeed at all times, is essen tial to good dairy management. Milk is largely made during milking time. It is a mistake to suppose that the milk is there in the udder and that all one needs to do Is to draw it off. When cows "hold up their milk" it is not the fact that they refuse to "let down" an existing store. What happens Is that the process of transforming the ma terial Into milk is interrupted for some cause or another. Cows In full milk have been slaughtered and every drap in the body saved, and the largest amount ever found was a little less than four quarts. Some of the milk therefore appears to be made In ad vance of milking time, but to a large extent the materials are transformed nto milk during the milking process. Any treatment that will interrupt this process will decrease the flow. The dairyman who does not provide. months in advance, for succulent feed with which to maintain his cows is making a serious mistake, and will probably be obliged to stand helplessly by and see his cows dying off as the pastures wane. Fodder corn to be cut up for feed Is one of the readiest me.ms of carrying cows through the summer in the corn belt. It should not be broadcasted as is the slovenly babit of some who grow it, but drilled in and properly cultivated. The percentage recovered by the sep arator in the case put wil ldepend upon the amount of fat that was originally In the milk. The amount found in the skim milk is one-fifth of one-tenth of one per cent, which is equal to two-one-hundredths of one per cent, or. to put it in another form, one-fiftieth of a pound. But what relation this one fiftieth of a pound of butter fat left in the skim milk bears to the original quantity of the milk, and consequently what percentage of the fat of the whole milk were recovered, will depend on how much was In it in the first place. If it were i per cent milk, for example, then there would be four pounds of butter fat originally in the milk and a loss of one-fiftieth of a pound in skim ming. If it were 5 per cent milk there would still remain one-fiftieth of a pound. It wiil, of course, be seer, therefore, that the percentage of fat in the milk recovered wouid be different in the two cases. If the milk were 4 per cent milk, the percentage recovered would be 90.5 per cent; if it were 5 pet cent milk the 'ircenta5e lecovjred (when the test shows one-fifth of one tenth of one per cent still left In the skim milk) would be 99. per cent and if it were 3 per cent milk, the percent age recovered would be 09 1-3 per cent and the loss two-thirds of one per cent Drinking Water for Animals. In hot weather water becomes more than ever a necessity to comfort, and both man and beast consume greatei quantities than at other times of the year. Ofter the domestic animals suffer greatly because of an insufficient sup ply of this all-Important article. With abundance in wells and cisterns some times carelessness Is the only cause of Its being withheld. Calves, pigs, poul try, even the cats and dogs frequently know what It Is to suffer from want of water. In the case of the two former the milk given Is supposed to supply their need in this direction, but it does not always do so. Hogs shut up in pen or pasture consume quite a quantity of water dally if they are supplied with It, yet how often the "slop" which forms their food is sup posed to slake thirst sufficiently. This is an error. Fresh water should be giv. en them in abundance. Fowls are often obliged to go thirsty. Who, that has seen a number of fowl gather around a pail of water eagerly thrusting their beaks into It, time after time, can fail to realize how nec essary It is to their comfort. Yet there are farms where no regular supply in furnished them. They Blp a stray mor sel at the well platform Then some one has been pumping, or visit roadside yes, even barnyard pools. Provision should always be made for a bountiful and regular supply. Even cats and dogs suffer from thirst many times. I have seen these animals lapping at tht boards In the well platform, or leaning far over to get at the contents of a tut or barrel. It la a merciful provislot for these as well as for the birds ol the air to keep a dish of water stand Ing at some convenient place when they can always find a drink. 1 know families where the birds drinking vessel Is regularly cleaned and filled each day, from spring to fall and they make use of It, too. Shy bird: soon grow tame, and robins, cblpplni birds and others will come for a drink or a bath from the dish thiut provides for them.

George Eliot has told us in some of her common sense talks, that It Is well for a woman to know how to do a Jozen things well and the longer I live the more I believe in her theory. for if a person can only do one thins? well she is not very useful about a busy home. When I heard a young girl say, "I'm glad I can clean my kid g'oves and wash my own ribbons and laces, handkerchiefs, and make my own pret ty Jabots, darn my own hose, make my own muslin gowns and shirt waists, and trim my hats and make papa's and brother's sbirts,' 'I exclaimed: "A wo man with thirteen accomplishments. you are a girl after a great author's heart can do a dozen or more things well" and so she could. Let me tell you her methods, for some of the use ful things she gets through with, and I can say truly, that she appears as well gowned as many girls with a large money. "Be clever, sweet maid, and allowance; yet she has very little bin good," when you have to live within a stated allowance. It 1 one thing to possess pretty things and another to keep them In order, yet with a little energy and care It can be done. To clean your gloves keep on hand a bot tle of gasoline (5 cents' worth) and pour a little in a bowl and take sev eral pairs of light gloves for one pair) and wash them out In the gasoline out doors and dry them In the open air some wash them by putting them on and letting them dry on the hands. White gloves can be washed beautiful ly this way: Fill a fruit Jar half full of gasoline and put all your soiled rib bons in It of ail lengths and colors, and shake them up good and leave over night. Seal the Jar or screw the top on tight. Next morning the dirt will all be at the bottom f the Jar, and dry the ribbons out In the sun and air; pull them straight while damp, but io not press them. If you have soiled laces, put some magnesia on a piece of paper, lay the lace upon it and sprinkle more mag nesia on It, then cover with another plee of paper and put a book over It to press It and leave several days; then remove and blow all the powder off. It will be perfectly clean. When. It Is necessary to wash lace, tew It upon a strip or white muslin md roll It tight around a smooth glass bottle and fasten; then make a good cleansing suds of warm rain water and Pearllne and drop the bottle into It and 'eace fur several hours take out and rinse, then dry on the bottle. It will look like new. Try a few such econom ical methods; It saves a great deal. Miscellaneous Items. In cooking dried fruits, a finer flavor (s often obtained by combining the wet and the sour varieties. As sour 'ruit, however, usually cooks In less 'lme than sweet, the two kinds should be put on in separate saucepans, and mixed afterwards. Nuts are of especial food value In winter, when the "system requires heat oroduclng, oily substances. It has been asserted, on scientific authority, that nuts contsln more of the nutritious ele ments than meat and butter combined. If eaten with salt, as they always ihould be, they constitute a cleanly, unsdulterated food, from which no ill results will accrue. The best way to boll eggs Is to use s chafing dish or oil stove, putting the eggs Into freshly boiling water, then Immediately extinguishing the flame ind leaving the eggs In the hot watei for seven or eight minutes. The whltei will be creamy, Instesdy of leather-Ilka, and the yolks will be rich and crumbly, ad thoroughly dose. PRILLS OF FASHION. Miles of narrow black ribbon velvet ate umJ on thin muslin gowns. Linen and pique gowns are trimmed with stitched ribbon bands. White corselet belts of plail ribbon are worn with either hlai k or white gowns and are finished with ftaoh ends v in4, mm juu use. Suede kid slippers, in a variety of colors to match the gowns, are worn this season. Borne of the more fancy kinds show a trimming of gold biaid. A pretty sK'rt for cycling Is made with a rather de-p yoke pointing down m front and at the back, the lower part being box-plaited on to this. Black and white lace gowr.s ate com ing rapidly to the front for the mat--m's full dress, leaving the spangled lets quite out of the race. Jeweled neckband broot.es. pins for .he hair which confine the short locks tt the batk, neck chains and Jeweled r enameled bits are all very popular. .Canvas sailor hats sre trimmed with i folded band of soft silk deftly twisted ind looped Into a stylish bow in front, i fold of black velvet finishes the rlm. The Psyche knot has appeared aga!n imon gthe fashionable modes of hair IresRing, but it is only the woman with Madonna fare who can welcome this special variety. Handsomely embroidered ecru batiste nade up over pink silk constitutes one if the prettiest bridesmaid's gowns een this reason. Insettings of lace nay be added f jr greater elegance. A pretty, graceful and comfortable -nodlluation of the mutton-leg sleeve ivals the long IMrec -tulre aud the Marie Antoinette styl;s with puffed or gath ered un Jersleeves. On outumn gowns or general wear this eleeve will take precedence of the other models just mentioned. Strappings of white eatln are to be seen on some f,ihe rit-w foulard gowns, jtnamentlng both the rkirt and waift. In one pretty blue one there Is a vest to natch the white satin, a -vere little vest, finished with blue buttons to match the foulard, while Inside la a soft tittle vest of plaited moussellne. Some very swell bathing suits are made of black satin, with a colored lin in collar and vest. A square of bright jilk is draped around the head over the rubber cap and the woman with a full figure who prefers not to wear tor sets has a deep girdle belt carefully boned and wears a bust supporter with straps over the shoulder. Very pretty fancy belts are made of narrow bands of colored suede leather (lined at Intervals with gold slides over i satin lining. Velvet ribbon is also used In this way, and then there are narrow belts of perforated leather over utin, fastened with a handsome gold tlanp. A gold serpent set with tur qulosr forms an ornament at the back of some of the ribbon belts -and belt !ns are as much worn as ever. Those pretty little dimity gowns, with the dainty little rosebud patterns, are charming, ' with the inch-wide black ribbon velvet around the waist and a small bow in the back and long ends hanging wel blown to the lower edge of the skiit. The velvet Is worn with all sorts of thin gowns and there Is noth ing prettier in the way of finishing a waist, particularly for a young girl. A popular morning cotstume worn tt tho various summer resorts consists of a tailor-made ekirt of the best quality A white pique, a pink linen shirt waist, with white stitching, a "Ladysmlth" hat of stitched white pique tilmmed with a soft, silk Bcarf, white shoes and gioves of white wash kid or suede fin ished lisle. Linen lace insertions are added to many of the pink shirt waists made with stitched pleats. The summery-garden-party-looking hat fashionable women are wealing now Is a soft, crumpled affair of crin oline, which, especially In white, is de lightfully cool, and, what Is more, looks it; also that of Tuscan straw and trim med with chiffon and laces and eveiy one has a black velvet bow or two to give It character and to emphasise the pjretty lightness of the rest of the hat. Some small hats are made of pretty light shades of taffeta stitched. The hats set well back off the face and have more or less of a tendency to rise at the left side. Some useful reforms have been effect ed In the newest dress sltirts, but the folly of the Inconvenient length of the walking skirt still remains unchanged. Constant attentiun to the street-sweeping gown greatly interferes with the pleasure of walking, and very few wo men can raise their skirts gracefully from the pavement. They usually clutch the massed folds anywhere and t'nit lilting If one would preserve her gown must be persisted in from the time the weater steps upon the pavemenl until she leaves it. TALK ABOUT WOMEN, Miss Grace Kennedy of Santa Fe, N. M., has been appointed commisslonei for New Mexico to take testimony In Indian depredation claims. Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, -who Is now in Paris, has been appointed a member of the Jury of awards at tht Paris exposition and also serves on s committee on exhibits in social eco nomics. Mlus Josle Wsnous of Manneapolls has been chosen third vice president of the American Pharmaceutical asso ciation, being the first woman officer In that body.

The depopulation of this country goes steadily on and In view of the fearful and continuous drain of emigration one almost can say with a recent writer that It Is possible to contemplate a day when Ireland will be one vast prairie and when the last ship load of the Irish race will have disappeared beneath the verge of the western horizon. Such a thought Is as pathetic as it Is pessimistic and, taking the decline of the last half century as a basis. It la not impossible by mathematics to de termine a date when Ireland's last man will have disappeared. Of course, by the nature of things such an apprehen sion may be set down as groundless yet some instant remedy Is needed to prevent the heglra of the people. Oth. erwise the dwindling process will con tinue in this ill-fated land, where bul locks are more sacred in the eyes of the government than human souls. The statistics of the last month show that nearly 10,000 persons left this coun try for foreign lands, being an Increase of about 2,000 over the returns for May, 1SSS. Of course, the great majority of these probably fully nine-tenths sail ed for the United States, although It Is becoming known through experience detailed in letters that the land of Washington Is no longer the land of promise that it was. Here are some startling figures which show that In th& last fifty years the population of Ire land has decreased by one-half: Population of Ireland In 1S41... ,8. 175.12:. Estimated population in 1SI5 9.000.0 Population of Ireland In 1S91 4,701. "CO Estimated population in 1M0 4.500,000 EFFECT OF ALIEN KULE. No such pitiable stoiy can be told of any other land on earth and the simple ti lling of it Is !he blasting condemna. , Ikm of the heart lessness and merciless ness of alien rule. When a people so passionately fond of their native land as the Irieh are fly from It as from a plague spot the government that rules them stands self-condemned. In ths light of the pitiable fact every boast of the "predominant partner" about Chris, tian progress and civillation is the lie of a hypocrite. This never-ceasing efflux of the peo ple Is spreading alarm through all ranks and classes and the press and public speakers are giving the matte earnest attention and calling upon the people to stay at home and not desert the old land when most she needs their efforts. And what makes the matter moBt distressful from an . economic as well as a nationalist point of view is that those who leave are the young and strong, the hope and life and pride of the race, while the aged and tb feeble remain here. "It Is," as a prominent public man lately said, "our own people who are SOME WOMEN Of the 30,000 or more laobrers that daily go in and out the wonderful mazes of the "Packlngtown," or the Chicago Union Slock Yards, only about 1,000 are women. It is obvious that comparatively tittle of the work there could from any standpoint be considered adaptable to the "weaker sex,-" but as the west no where offers to working women the same opportunities for earning their dally bread as does the east, with Its cotton and woolen mills, its shoe fac tories, manufactories of silk, etc., the very most must be made of the chances that exist. The number of women actively en gaged In the stock yards, however. Is but a small representation of the wo men vitally interested In Its life, since this gigantic expression of modern commercialism supports from 125,000 to 175,000 people, the largest industrial community of the world. An Interesting occupation connected I with the stock yards. In which women are engaged, but which is under the control of the government. Is the micro scopic inspection of such meats as are to be exported. The establishment of this branch of the work was brought about by Europe, which Kngland ex cepted in 1HX1 united In refusing to re ceive American pork Into their harbors, on the ground that it was peculiarly subject to trichinae. This act, of course, completely paralyzed foreign trade In this commodity, and for fully ten yeais both the government and the packers were powerless against the edict. In however, the United States bureau of animal Industry proposed to subject all meat Intended for foreign ports to a rigid microscopic examination, and to forward with each shipment a certifi cate of health. This act had the de sired effect; the ban was removed, and gradually foreign trade swung back to Its old status. The bureau of animal Industry has Its office Just at the entrance of the stock yards. The department of microscopic examination Is under the general man agement of Dr. W. 8. De Voe, head of the bureau in Chicago, with Dr. Morris Wooden, chief mlcroscoplst. In Immedi ate charge. Associated with Dr. Woo den is one man, assistant mlcroscoplst, and 10 assistant mlcroscoplst s, all of whom are women. Briefly speaking, their work is to examine the meat un der the microscope, and make reports as to the presence or not of trichinae. These assistants are for the most part a more than ardinarily well educated class of women, a few physicians, some ex-teachers and many college gradu ate being amongst the number. The examinations for the position are how aver, not at autagaat as to exclude going away," meaning thereby that It is the truly Irish element that is dis appearing. With this In view it is not to be wondered at that Mr. Ualfout staled In the house of commons sev eral nights ago that he did not regard emigration as an unmixed evil. Others also are known to rejoice over thia swelling stream of emigration, for they hope that after another generation or so the nationalist element. If not prac tically extinct, wiil be tuo small and weak to be dangerous. And the somewhat remarkable fact Is becoming apparent that coincident with the outgoing stream of Irish emigra tion there is an Incoming one of Brit ish immigration. Quoting the words of the brilliant Speranza (Lady Wilde); A million a decade. What does it meant A nation dying of Inner decay! WARNS THE IRISH PEOPLE. One of the nationalist papers of this city asks: "Do Irish people r-callse what Is go ing on? If they wish the Ireland of the future to be the Ireland of the past, inhabited by genuine Irish people, nurtured In the old traditions, Inspired with the old Ideals, they must taks determined steps to stop the exodus." And while saying that emigration la mainly to be attributed to misgovern ment, it cannot help thinking that soma wh. go might make a living at home, If they put their shoulders to t he wheel in earnest. This paper says: "The restless spirit of the age Is stirring the minds of young Irish men and women. Ths-y feel that they must be off somewhere, but very often they do not Improve their lot by going. Two Irish-Americans, Father Dullard and Mr. O'Sullivan, have recently wrllti to the Irish Press raising u note ot warning. They, with the experience ot years In the states. Implore their coun try pi ople to stay at home. "Let Irish people not give up theil country to British adventurers withou a struggle. Prospects are brighter in some respects than they have been for long. The board of agriculture and In dustrie promises to do some substan tial good to the country. "The establishment of Industries, of course, only touches the fringe of the question as long as the land question la unsettled, but the proBpect of univer sal peasant proprietorship becoming an accomplished fact is becoming every day more likely of realisation. When the people own the land which they de clare they love so dearly, surely they will live on It and develop Its resource to the fullest extent. As Lord Castle, town once asked; " 'What Is the good of a county coun cil with no one In the county?'" It cost 11,500,000 per mile to build tht underground railways of London. MICROSCOPISTS. those of a good high school education, and fully one-half of the credits are given for practical work In microscopy. The age limit is 20 years and over. The work Is Interesting and by no means arduous. It Is, however, exacting, and very hard on the eyes; so much so that frequent rests have to be taken during the period covering the labor of the day. Every assistant Is required to be at her table ready to begin work at g o'clock In the morning; at 9:45 a rest of fifteen minutes is taken, when work is again resumed and carried on until 12; a half hour Is then allowed for luncheon. From 12:30 to 1:45 the young women are close at It again, and then comes another fifteen minutes' rest. At 3 o'clock the work Is over for the day the six hours of actual labor being all that even a strong pair of eyes can en dure without injury. To Insure the ab solute accuracy of the work there are seven expert women whose sole duty it Is to re-examine the specimens already passed upon by the assistants. New recruits are obliged to spend four or five months studying how to de tect trichinae In the different stages of growth before being considered suffi ciently expert to undertake the real work of pronouncing uixin the sound ness of the meat. The specimens for examinations are cut, by the regular stock yards Inspectors, from the various parts of the animal where disease will be liktiy to exist if anywhere. Thesa specimens are put In little tin boxes specially made for the purpose, and marked with a number, the duplicate: of which Is put upon the carcass. Kv ery particle of the meat selected is passed under the lens, and If It is fuun 1 to coiitnln the germs of any disease the animal is condemned and sent to the rendering vat. Besides the regular as sistants, two women are constantly re quired to empty and wash the boxes. The good meat Is given to charity In stitutions or to any poor people who may care to call for It. At sll events, the Institution affords a very desirable occupation for women. The average rate of pay Is ff0 per month, and, the hours sre sgreeable, the work Interesting, and, except fof the strain upon the eyes, not difficult. Some Luther autogrsph msnuscrtpta have been discovered In the Vatican li brary by Prof. Flker of Btrasburg. There sre two -commentaries on the Epistle of the Romans, one on the text and the other on the sense, and two commentaries en the Epistle to the He brews.
