Whether or not one Bhall wear mourning is a question that depends mMmwmmwmf W' Z ' ""- '"whatT fXsHION DECLARES TO BD CORRECT. .,t,A l wlii irnKSffl S JR i R VEi W ww 4 i 4 W wj i i i iiii 7 Mil i 19 onllroly upon personal Ideas and preju dices. A grant many families do not approve of It. and under no circum stances would ihy nppenr In somber garments heavily trlmmod with crape. It U said, In defense of this custom, that It saves comment and question; but this, as a rule, Qtnottnts to vory little as a reason. One's (rlenda aro llkoly to know of Illness and death, and it la thought eomowhat ostentatious to ndvertiso by deep mourning tno fact lhat ono has met with tho. Iocs of a near rolativc. In such occurrences strangers aro not supposed to have any Interest, thereforo the evident auper flulty of mourning bo far aa the public aro concerned. It certainly can make very llttlo difference In ono'a grief what the attire may he, and It is an unquestioned fact that too much time and money aro spent on tho prepara tion 'of mourning dresses for such oc casions. Tho only npology for thin can be that It furnishes tho beieaved ones with a much needed diversion. This, however, would bo much better If taken n another way. Hut tho fact remains that mourning dresses and crapo arc worn by many people, es- pcoliiUjltyihoI&sMAh,Jj--tian'W tent seem to set the pneo for tho world. Thcro is very llttlo chango in mourning materials. For years tho Priestley sllk-warp Henrietta cloth has boon tho btnndard fabric for first mourning dresses. It is, however, curious that while this was originally a material for mourning, Its uso has becoino bo general that any woman of any ago may wear it, oven though Bho habitually Indulges in tho bright est colors or wears colors with It. Thero Is nothing bo durable, handsome and economical in the long run. Tlio Tender Brntiniont. A. B. C. asks tho following questions: "Is it right for a young man to show affection for a young woman unless ho moans it? What should she do If he shows dccldod evidences of affetIon for her, then, upon leaving tno place whero sho lives, writes to her and other young ladles In precisely the same way?" Answer: In a caso of this kind there are several things to bo considered, In tho first place. It is rather hard to draw tho lino between genutuo good-will and what young women call affection or lovo. A young man may find great pleasuro In a young woman's society, may really enjoy her company, com radeship and conversation, and may plainly show that ho doe3 so, without giving any actual evidence of what peo ple call love. Thero is a great differ ence In persons about matters of this sort. Somo aro moro demonstrative than others, some may go through an entire coason of courtship and finally marry without half as much appcaranco of affoctlon as is exhibited by others who havo no serious intentions what ever, It is scarcely worth while to wasto ono's time on a young man who talks and writes to two or three young women in proclsely tho same way, If ho professes to love tbem. A man who will do this Is beneath contempt, and A. B. C will do very well to waste nt timo on him. But beforo she takes any decided stops, it might bo well for her to sit down aud carefully study tho caso and seo If sho has made any mis take in tho matter, Thcro aro a great many young girls who fancy that every man who looks at them ln'an Interested Sill jf t tvay, treats them wH or finds any plcasuru In their society Is in lovo with thorn. It Is just as well not to Imaglno that lovo exists until there Is some very positive cvldonco of it If young glrla would lako this view of the case thoy would savo themselves and everybody else a great deal of trouble. Haw Shoulder Capo- A pretty variation on tho round shoulder capo is ono that has ends crossing In front llko a Mario An toinette fichu. To tho woman who has a pretty waist aud handsomely curved figure, this fashion is less ungenerous than tho round cape, which, no matter how stylish in itself, hides tho figure entirely. A I.nto 1'reiich Creation. For tho matter of hats tho varieties aro legion; but one of tho oddest yet shown is an immonso brimmed, shirred hat, made of soft tan brilllantlno, to match tho frock; tho whole, tho travel ing rig for a prospective bride. It sounds horribly clumsy, brilllantlno Is so wlrynjjdjpplJcBriisclf so poorly to 'SorrToTuli; but when turned out In a beautiful state of finish by a clover French mllllnor, its beauty is unques tionable and Is an ndorablo adjunct to a natty traveling costume. Tho illus tration shows tho hat In question. It flares broadly at tho sides and has a soft llttlo puff all about tho edge. Tho crown Is finished-In tho same manner. Diroctly In front rests an Immonso chou, with two massive loops sticking out nt both sides, giving a wonderfully broad effect to tho affair. Tho hat pins aro two rhlnostono balls, tho only bit of ndornment about the chapcau. Tho bodlco of the frock also caught my eyo, from Its deeded oddity. It fitted the form snugly to tho waist, and was cut with tho broad back pieces bo in vogue; from tho waist it flared out In smart box plaits, showing a lining of vivid scarlet silk. A broad folded belt of tan satin encircled tho waist and fastened with two tiny gold clasps In front. Sllnt Rhcrbnt. Put ono pound of sugar and ono quart of water on to boll. Boll flvo minutes.

M1MIMI1IIMI DAIRY AND POULTEY. INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR OUR RURAL READERS. How Successful runner Opcrnto ThU Department of tlio .Tartu A l'cvr Hints nit to tlio Oaro or X.Vtc Stock and roultry. Nbuiltllnir s!!o3 cfieapness of con struction does not interfere with use fulness if tho one essential, making 7JIiA tho walls nlr-tlght, is attended to. As evldenco of this wo quote tho following description of tho silos of tho well known .dairyman John Gould of Ohio as given by L. S. Hardin in Homo and Farm: Mr. Gould rather favors building the silo in tho barn, as lhat saves a roof and gives outside protection, tho silo being merely a big box. Tho room taken up supplies so much more feed than tho same space occupied by the hay that tho appnrent loss 1b a real gain. Here not stono foundation Is needed. All that Is required Is to dig a trench tho size of tho silo, largo enough to receive a 10-inch square sill and bed it in mortar underneath and on the sides to firm It. Set up tho 2x6 Inch studding 18 Inches apart from cen ter to center and lino up on tho inBldo with inch lumber 10 inches wide, cross lcckcd at tho corner and so securely that it will be impossible to pull It apart. Cover on the insldo of tho first lining, with cheap tarred paper, then run on another layer of'tho same kind of lumber; put it on with a half lap, bo as to break tho Joint in tho first layer and nail well with 10-penny wlro nails. To mako sure that tho corners aro tight have a 3x3-lnch scantling sawed through cornerwlso and nail theso Into the corners with a backing of paper well painted with gas tar. Tho sllago Is taken out with small doors unhing ed, set in from inside. Tho pressure of tho silage holds them securely In place, and theso are taken out one by ono as the feeding of the sllago progresses. When tho walls of the silo aro finished and painted with a paint mado of 3 quart3 of gas tar and 2 quarts of gaso- Hno well mixed tnklng care that no fire comes near It in mixing or apply ingthe floor may ho mado by drawing tho soil from the center of tho silo up to and pounding down ngalnst tho side walls until tho floor Is In tho form of a kettle. Wotted when pounded, and of clay, this makes ono of tho best floors. Mr, Gould has two siloes of this kind built eight years ago, holding 200 tons of sllago that did not cost ?100. He uses no coverings or weight to tho en silage, but when tho heat begins to ap pear he scatters evenly over tho top of sllago 10 or 15 palls of water, which causes an air-tight mold to form, which answers every purposo and ho says causes tho waste of less than a wagon bed full of silage. Surely any farmer could mako such a bllo as hero describ ed at less than $50 aptoce, of 100-ton capacity; this would bo 7 or 8 acres of corn fodder per silo. D.n;or from ailltc. Tho Massachusetts society for tho promotion of agrlculturo ha3 recently published In book form tho results of Us thorough investigation as to tho In fectiousness of milk from tuberculous cows. Tho object was to determine, especially, whether tho infectious ele ment of tuberculosis over existed In milk from tuberculous cowb whoso ud ders are apparently healthy. Somo of tho roaults, briefly, are as follows: Elgbty-olght guinea pigs wero Inocu lated with milk from 15 cows; tubercu losis was found In twclvo of these pigs, after using milk from six different cows. Ninety-five rabbits vero In oculated, and six of them found with tuberculosis. 3111k of tuborculous cows was fed. to 48 rabbits, and two showed tuberculosis. Twelve pigs were fed on the milk and flvo produced posltlvo results, with suspicion In two others. Twenty-ono calves produced eight with tuberculosis. Circular let ters wero sent out to physicians and voterlnary Burgeons, asking whether thoy had ever seen a caso of tuberculosis that could bo traced to tho milk supply. Answers wero received from 991, of which 58 had seen or suspected the ex istence of such cases. This Is less than G par cent, which tho trustees re gard as remarkably small. Tho con clusions of tho report aro as follows: 1. Whllo tho transmission of tuber culosis by milk Is probably not the most Important means by which the dlseaso Is propagated, It Is somothlng to bo guarded against most carefully. 2. Tho possibility of milk from tu berculous udders containing the Infec tious element is undeniable. 3. With tho evldenco hero presented, It is equally undenlablo that milk from diseased cows with no appreciable le Elon of the udder may, and not infre quently does, contain tho bacillus ol the disease. 4. Thereforo all such milk Ehould be condemned for food. llRB I'rodnctlon. A writer on poultry topics, A. M. Halstead, says: Some j'cars since a tabulated state ment wont tho rounds of tho press, showing that a hen could not possibly lay moro thnn COO eggs In nor natural llfo. Tho number was parceled out as follows: The first jear after birth. 15 to 20; Etcond year, 100 to 120; third year. 120 to 135; fourth year, 100 to 115; fifth year, CO to 80; sixth year, 50 to CO; peventh year, 35 to 40; eighth year. 15 to 20. This table was assumed nnd based upon a microscopic investigation of the ovarium of a hen. by some KfM tfl wsma European savant. For once, science Was wrong. Recently a number or per Fona have kept careful count and havo found an ogg production of nearly 1,000, during tho eight or nine years of a hen's llfo. I, myself, have had a yield of over 360 eggs per hen in two years, averaging 175 yearly from a flock of Crevecoeurs, and my Brown Leghorns yearly oxceed that record. Two years since, from a flock of Gl hens at first, of which two died in February and March, and 34 wero killed for tho tablo prior to July, I gathered between Jan uary 1 and September 1, C.257 eggs. Taking 43 as the avcrago number of hens through tho season, this gives an avcrago of 145 eggs per hen per sea son of eight months. Of these CI hens 25 were Brown Leghorns, G Light Brnh mas, 4 Plymouth Rocks, and tho rest wero crosses and mongrels. Had tho flock been all Leghorns I have no doubt but that tho average would have been fully 175 eggs per hen. This production of eggs may bo forced by sultablo feeding, and, In breeding for profit, It should bo done. Assuming tho tablo given abovo to bo correct, in proportion of tho eggs laid at certain ages of tho fowl, it follows that to get tho full value of tho egg production we must keep henB until tho fourth year. If, by proper feeding nnd attention, wo can cauBo her to lay three-fourths or more of that posslblo number during tho first two years, wo can then fatten her for market, and fill her place In tho yard by younger fowls, to go through tho sarao forcing process. It Is folly to feed and keep a hen for four years, when tho bulk of her product may bo obtained from her In half that time. I should, thereforo, advlso fitting her for market, as soon as she has finished tho best of her sec ond season's laying, which is usually about June. The cocks may ho kept till three years old, if desired, but usually two years will bo found tho most profitable age to market them. In tho "old time" it was a good flock of hens that averaged 50 eggs per annum. Now, an avcrago of 100 Is es teemed a low figure, 150 per head be ing considered the nccssary number to entitle a flock to bo called good layers. Wo frequently hear of instances whore an avcrago of 200 and upwards havo been produced by small-sized flocks, but these aro exceptions to tho rule. Hooping Off I.lco. M. W. Nolhart, of Nebraska City, gives tho following in tho Nebraska Farmer as his method of keeping his poultry house free from lice: "My chicken houses all contain earth floors. I drivo stakes In tho ground for roosts to rest on, boro holes through roost polo (which is a 2x4 ripped in two, making a pole 2x2), and into top of stakes allowing a wlro splko to go through roost and into the stake. This will hold the roost in place. "Don't allow tho roosts to touch your building anywhere. I leave theso stakes about two feet high. Now you know full well that theso mites always leave tho chicken towards tho dawn of morning and remain on tho roost and in tho building until evening, when they again attack tho fowls as they set tle down to rest. Results you know and I need not repeat them, but will say that theso blood suckers aro the direct causo of bringing into the flocks of our land what Is commonly called cholera. Out of hundreds of cases of supposed cholera examined by myself I havo yet to find my first of this dreaded disease. "But to turn to our subject. Now all you havo to do Is pick up your roost, take it outsido (for convenience), havo a common machine oil can filled with gasoline and caturato polo completely, also go Inside and run some on top and down the stakes. Repeat this a few times and you will completely destroy those mlschlet makers. Your house Is no doubt overrun with theso mltes, but only doctor your roosta and you will havo them exterminated." Shorthorns vs. Scrubs. A shorthorn steer properly cared for can ho mado to weigh 1,500 pounds in three j-ears, whllo a scrub will requiro five j'oars to Bccuro 1,200 pounds, and as a result tho shorthorn gains 500 pounds annu ally nnd the scrub 240 pounds annual ly. Estimating shorthorns at 514 cents a pound, the gain is annually $20.25, and estimating tho scrub at 44 cents a pound, tho gain is annually $10.G0, or 515.C5 gain in favor of tho shorthorn. But let us note how tho case stands with both at the end of the year. I have stated that tho Bhort horn gains 500 pounds a j'ear, hence In tho three years it weighs 1,500 pounds and is worth $78.75; tho scrub gains 240 pounds a year, and in three years weighs 720 pounds and Is worth $30.G0, hence the difference in tho vnluo of tho steers at tho expiration of three years Is $48.15 in favor of tho shorthorn. In other words, the shorthorn at tho expi ration of three years Is worth twice as much as the Ecrub and $17.55 over. Robert Mitchell. Life of tho Horse. Speaking on tho subject of the longevity of the horso a writer In ono of our Boston exchanges says: "Tho natural life of a horse must depend partly on its breeding, but quite as much on tho kind of work It is set to do. An animal never driven fast and thus strained or Injured by ... , :Z " hard roads will last to 25 years and do good service. But If driven hard on stone or asphalt roadbeds Its feet will give out and the animal will soon be come worthless. Ell Wakeleo of An sonla. Conn., has a team of horses 34 and 35 years old which aro yet In good condition and do good work. He had their photograph taken recently, and will hang it in his parlor. Mr. Wako leo has worked this team In double harness all spring and summer, plow ing, dragging and mowing with them, and thoy are yet in prime condition, sleek and glossy as most horses that are young. Ho has worked them moro than twenty-five years, and It la evi dent that tho team haa never dccu misused." A Silent Appeal for Help.
