Tho woman who didn't rush Into corn-flower bluo can now congratulate herself on that fact. At Its first com ing this tint made a good bid for gen eral favor, but a strong new shade nev er holds Its vogue. Now, though all other blues are to bo extremoly papular, tlio cornflower Is condemned, and that means that Us wearers must have dis carded it or resortod to tho dye-pot and renovation, Brilliant green is to havo much favor, and tho clear-sklnnod brunette will count one far her sldo. Wood-celored satin is in a now shade of brown that has as yet appeared only In that material; Indeed, It would hardly ?ulapt itself to lesa lustrous weaves.

HK subject Is ono In which much cap ital Is Invested, nnd to mako tho busi ness pay ono has to glvo It tho closest study. 1. Wo havo tho cow. Sho must change tho feed In to milk. Tho cow may bo compared nnd tho feed to to an engine tho fuol.

Wo aro told that ' It takes two-thirds of what a cow eats I to miRtnin tho RVRtnm. one-third to nro- ' duco tbo milk. Tho less a cow has to travel to get her feed tbo greater amount of milk per pound of feed. I havo thought many times when I have seen cows liurrlod by men, boys nnd dogs whother tho owner ever con sidered the cost. 2. The feed and surroundings. Tho cow Is like a filter. If you over tnx It by giving poor fepd you soon wear It out; besides producing a poor artlclo of milk, butter and cheese. I bellove the seeds of poisoned cheeso nro sown In letting tho cow drink stag nant water, cat fermented food, or breathe foul air. This much wo do know, that tho best grades of milk pro ducts are mado whero tho feed, water , and air are of tho purest i 3. Tho care of milk. It Is essential that milk should bo well aired and cooled as Boon as milked to stop tho tainting or decomposing. See that tho uddor is well cleaned before commenc ing to milk, and do not wet your hands so thoy will drip In the pall. How much milk should a cow glvo? There aro records as high n3 18,000 lbs. of milk per cow In one year, but tho farmer can get a dairy which will average 6,000 lbs. per cow, and he will not see the difference ln cost of keeping between it nnd ono which gives only 4,000 or 3.G00 per cow. Old dairymen i in the cast mndo cheese for 3 and A cents per pound years ago, and tho best of them say, they would not keep a cow which would not mako COO lbs. i of cheese In ono season. Now tho aver ago at most factories does not exceed 350. At a factory in north-cast Ohio, at tbo yearly meeting, the best and tho poorest dairy were compared, with tbo ldoa of stimulating tho patrons to lm- , provo their dairies and caro of them. ' The best dairy of 14 cows had received from tho factory during tho year an average of $30 per cow, while the poor est one of 10 cows hnd received only 527 per cow. Tho dairy well solves tho question an to what to do with our farms. Grain ! rcailzod from them ln a year.

There seems to be an Impression hero and thero, says a writer ln tbo Practi cal Farmer, that what Is known as granular butter can, only bo mado by tho few who possess tho "know how," and have purposely constructed ma chinery. Such is not tho case. There is no make of churn that granulates butter better than another. If wo dis card tho dash churn. Tho only secret In the matter Is to stop tbo churn at the right stage, and add tho water, so to harden these little granules of fat and give tho fluids free exit from tho churn. In hot weather the granulation of butter is all tho more important, ns thero Is the greater need of getting tbo buttermilk out of tho mass. Summer butter wants to be churned as cool as possible, and It f3 here that tho owners .rrr, : "rrV;; .r,rn. .. a. .. n n n tllV tlirv rirtlintlf (1ITA ilini I U1VJ ..... ..-w . w ...,. M..k down to 33 per cent of actual fat, and churn this cream exhaustively at 62 degrees, which Is tho actual crystallz lng stage of butter, and get separation with little or no washing. By the or dinary way of churning, at about CO de grees, the churn would bo stopped as soon as tno cream snows signs oi , hroaklng, and a half gallon or so of fair j brine added to the cream, whon tho butter will come, and moro water is ( again added uerore mere is any at tempt to remove the buttermilk. Then the butter granules float on tho surface of thp 54 degree cold water, and one has granular butter without an effort Where the cream from any cause Is very sour, It is a good practice to put a quantity of brine into the cream at the otart, and have this act as a sort of a solvent of tho casein, and will bo a great help ln preventing speckB ln tbo butter. One thing about granular but- Tho difference ln tho cost between ter Is Its vnrylng content of water, and t good mules and poor onos Is tho differ no maker can work It down to a unl- enco In tho cost of sorvice. It will formtty every tlnio; oven exports will j usually cost moro for the service of a vary aa much ns fivo pounds ln 100 real good Jack than It will cost for a pounds of butter. The larger the granules tho loss wator will bo held ln the butter when it is packed. Chickens or Ducks. I A New Jersey poultry raiser recently ', mado a test to decide the question of tbo j relative profitableness of ducks and ' chickens. He gives tbo following re sult: At a week old tho duckling ' weighed four ounces, wnilo the chick only reached two ounces. At two ' weeks old the duckling reached nlno ounces, nnd tho chick got up to four ounces. At thrco weoks, duckling ono .pound; chick, six and a quarter ounces. At four weeks, duckling ono pound and nine ounces; chick, ton ounces. At five weeks, duckling two pounds nnd two ounces; chick, fourteen ounco3. At six weeks old, duckling two pounds and cloven ounces; chick, ono pound nnd two nnd half ounces. At scvon wooks old, duckling three pounds and five ounces; chick, ono pound and sovon ounces. At eight weeks old, duckling, I four pounds; chick, ono pound and twelve ounces. At nlno weeks old, duckling, four pounds and eight ounces; chick, two pounds. So It can bo seen that In tho samo time tho weight of tho chick was doubled by that of tho duck. Tho prices for drossod car casses run very closo to each other, so that tho Increased price per pound makes tho profits on tho duck greater, nlthough It takes about twice the amount of food to grow them. Ex. Merits of Houdans. Wright, tho well known English authority, say3: "With respect to tho merits of Houdans, wo havo no hesitation in pronouncing thorn i ono of tbo most valuable breeds ever introduced into tins country, we navo ln, hls breed tbo clzo, form and quality f, a Dorking, with earlier maturity The hen is a most prolific layer of good slzetl &ss, which will almost Invariably bo found fertile a point tbo Dorking is very deficient in, as all prlzo breed ers know to their cost. The chickens feather very rapidly and early, but aro nevertheless exceedingly hardy per haps moro so than nny except Cochins and Brabmns and arc therefore easily reared with llttlo loss. Thoy aro em phatically tho fowl for a farmer and will yield nn ample profit on good feed tag, both in eggs nnd flesh. Almos. their only drawback is their refusal to IncuDatc." FccultnjT Inyorn. Wo have satisfied ourselves that hens may bo fed too much, to bo good layers, and that they may bo fed In such a manner that thoy will not want to sit. A hen that la poor novcr want3 to sit, and if sho is kept in laying condition sho will not get the sitting fever at all, or If at all, not until Into In the season. Wo havo tried feeding Brown Leghorns nil they would eat, while confined, and It Is not a hard matter to get them fat enough to get In tho notion of clucking, though they hardly ever sit moro than a lew days at a tlmo unless they arc 4 or 5 years old. Wo had a pen of Light BrnhraaB which we prevented from sit ting at all until some of them were two years old by feeding them carefully, and wo must say they were fine layers all the time. They were not ns profit able of course as our Leghorns, because they ate more and did not lay as well, but thoy were non-sitters while we fed them for tbo purpose of keeping them from sitting. They got but very little corn, but bad all tho milk they wanted, and were lightly fed on wheat screen ings, oat meal, bran and shorts, and other muscle making food. We havo been very much interested in a flock of Plymouth Roclca for the last year, the owner of which has taken great care to feed thorn properly, and has kept strict acoount of tho feed they con sumed, and the egg3 they produced. When tho year 13 finished, we shall give n full nnraunt of the amount of nroflt Bi,0wlng will bo such a ono, as will put to shame tho man who claims that poultry docs not pay. Tho care has been only such as any farmer or vil lager could give a fleck, and there has hcen no attempt at fancy or costly ex periments. The flock Is kept for tho money there Is In them, and tho results will bo valuable to all who want to know what can bo done with only good caro and common sense. Farm News. Mules. Tho Southern Farm ln speaking of the growing of mules and then' valuo for plantation work says that good teams of young mules can bo made to do considerable work for from 18 months to two years, Just nt a tlmo when thoy will, under ordinary cir cumstances, bring tho beat prices. With good care, mulos can bo broken nnd worked easier than horses, and farmers who cannot keep tcveral teams profit ably at work all tho tlmo, and yet find it neccssar: to keep several, will find it will pay to keep two or thrco mares, tbo number to bo proportioned to tho number of teams considered necessary to keep up with tho farm work, and then breed them to a good Jnck and ralso good mulos, keeping tho mares In a good thrifty condition so that a good growth can be secured. Then thoy can be used for Bomo tlmo on tlio farm while they aro growing fully suf ficient to pay tholr feed, and at tbo samo tlmo havo them gradually In creasing In valuo and selling at an ago whon they usually bring the highest figures. Of course, caro must be taken of them so that a good, thrifty growth can be secured. Some breeders mako tho claim that raising mules can be dono only on a scale sufficiently largo to pay tho farmers for making extra good fences ln order to keep them con- j fined. poor one, nnd all other things being equal, the difference in them is a small Item In comparison with tho value of tho mules when they aro ready to sell. If they nro fed so as to bo kept grow ing steadily, in a good, thrifty con dition, the cost is the same, or nearly tho same, whether tho animal is a good or poor one, nnd to secure tho most profit tho best must be raised, and if tho best is raised It Isvery essen tial to have tho mares bred to good Jacks.
