Economy In feedlnir is one source of a farmer's nrofit. To fal hav. rorn and oats to eoita, calves and work horses is extravagant and wasteful. The way to economize and save several dollars per head each year until they are marketable is to cut all provender into inch lengths (straw and fodder), nut in seDarate bins under shelter where most convenient for use. Cutting softens anv orovender and rids it of sand and dust. Now take seventy-five bushels of corn, oats, rye and buckwheat to mill and set it eround fine as for bread, writes a correspondent of the National Stockman. Grinding costs centa per nuBiiei. Add to tins one- fourth of its weight in wheat bran. If vnn nave not an oi tnese grains, use such as von naVA. I hll wav tn m r fnv n.a la. Make a box 12 feet long, 2 feet deep, 2 feet wide, water-tight. Put in the box three layers of straw ; add to each layer lour pounds ot meal and two ami one-half gallons of water : take a four. tined fork and mix thoroughly from one end to the other and back. Now serve out to ten or twelve head three times a day and they will be well fed, and we have used only one-half bushel of mm and straw and fodder of still less market value, wetting softens and causes the meal to adhere. We can keep twice as much stock on this economical olan as can be done the extravagant way at one half less expense. There is no food fit for use until it is ground or cut, mois tened and mixed. An animal fed the waste way is not as healthy ; it is con stipated, hide-bound, with indigestion. On the economical plan the stomach is neaiiny, tne bowels laxative with per fect health. JilTBB. JM-A-gom Tuv.iimm urn out the fowls some cool or damn day, and then close all the cracks in the house except the door. Then take a ket tle of live coals and place on the ground in the center; but, if there is a wood floor, lay a flat stone In, on which set the kettle. Throw a half pound or pound of sulphur upon the coals and shut the door and leave the house closed for a few hours, and we will venture to say that no more lice or mites will be found in it for a few weeks thereafter. If the house is not tight enough to admit of thorough fumigation in the manner de scribed, then clean as well as you can, and whitewash with fresh lime, mixing in a liberal quantity of sulphur, after which throw sulphur into all the cracks and apply kerosene oil to the roosts. The house should be well aired before the fowls are admitted and well venti lated at night. We have never known the "sulDhur cure" to fail if Dronnrlv . appnea. Be sure to feed green corn to the cows. In no other way can it be nsed to pay so well. Sweet corn is preferable until cold weather; then field corn ia better. Have all the fowls roost in the house if there is plenty of room, but let some stay outside until cool weather if the house is crowded with all of them. In the good time coming it is quite probable that shrewd dairymen will fur nish darkened stables for cows in fly time and tarn out to pasture at night. If it nays to cat corn for fodder, it payi to shock it well. A shock lvinir in tha mud, with the rains beating upon it, ' does not improve the nutritive value of tue loader in it. Pasture in summer, clover and mnta in winter, will improve the health and vigor of the stock. At 10 months of age, or butchering time, stock cared for as about outlined will average 300 pounds. Fresh milcb cows in the fall of the year are about as profitable as any stock that one can go into winter quarters with. Don't get it into your head that the only dairy worth having ia the sum mer dairy. Bar Brother's TTouMra Cloth. "I don't see why I shouldn't have that piece of cloth for my new tailor made gown," said a young girl when her brother t new trousers came home from the tailor's. "Bnt it's for trousers," said her brother. "That's no reason why a girl shouldn't have a gown of it, if she wants one," she answered. It was a soft gray, with tiny stripes of a darker gray and a hair line of black running through it "It would make a pretty gown," said her mother, doubtfully, "but it is too heavy." "It isn't any heavier than your Bed ford cord. 1 shouldn't think of having it lined," said the young woman posi tively, "except in the bodice, and that with thin silk." "It cost (8.60 a yard " her brother re marked. "So does Bedford cord," she responded. The result waa plain from that mo ment; and the fact is that a great many yonng women have stolen masculine cloths for their street gowns.

We have found charcoal a very excel lent thing to furnish our poultry with. It may be given in a powdered state, mixed with the soft meal feed, and a little pulverized sulphur at the same time may be added to advantage. But the very best way to supply this is to burn an ear or two of corn (unon the cob), charring it to blackness and throw ing it before them. Thev will devour every kernel and so supply themselves with a grateful and healthy substance that sweetens the crop and serves as an admirable tonic to the stomach. At this season of the year the above recommen dation will be found a valuable hint to poultrvmen. Hens about readv to lav win devour this prepared charcoal eager ly, and the increased freshness and red' ness of their combs afterward evince the efficacy of this allowance. For a month or six weeks in the early breeding season nothing is better than this for laying hens, given them daily. SALT FOB CATTLE. If you give it in the right wav. von need not be afraid of your cattle taking too much salt. They will never do this if they have free access to it at all times. It is when thev have been keDt from it. and so have become salt-hungry, that they will overeat. Salt is an essential element of the blood, and is as neces sary to stock as to human beings. Many of their common foods are lacking in it, and consequently it must be artificially supplied. We cannot tell exactly how much they need, and so the olan of feed ing them stated amounts at stated times is wrong. Put it where they can get it themselves, and they will take just as much as they need and no more. agricultural notes. It probably costs about as much to feed a cow which produces 160 pounds of butter aa one which makes 300 pounds. A cement floor is not at all necessarv in a chicken-house if the location be a dry one. Keep the floor littered, and there will never be a foul floor.

The last nail which ia to be driven into the World's fair Woman's building is to be composed of gold, silver and copper from Montana, and is the gift of a wom an. The hammer is to be an equally beautiful and representative offering from another state, designed, made, and presented by women. Bnt the real test of the equality of the sexes will be the driving of the nail by the president, Mrs. Palmer. . If that precious nail be driven straight and nn. deviatingly to its place, if the sacred hammer does not strike the fingers of the woman who wields it, then the men might aa well give np the contest and let women have the ballot, and the trou sers, and the privilege of standing np in the cars, and all the rest of it She will have them anyway if she decides to, and how much more gtaoef ul to proffer the favors than to yield them from necessity. Contributions of a representative char acter are being sent from the different states and women's associations to the famous building, and the New York Women's Press club ia agitating the question of presenting the door of the main entrance. New York Son. Tha Vint Stovaa, A heating apparatus called a "atuba" (stove) was widely used among the higher claw of Romans before the beginning of the Christian era. This class of beaters was fixed and immovable, besides being ia several omer respects wholly duiannt from the modern stove. In Germany and Scandinavia they were used In bathrooms and hothouses during the middle ages. They were usually constructed of brick, atone or tils and were of immense size. They sometime covered the whole sld of a 80 or 80 foot room and often extended out Into the room aa much as 10 feet, in which case the smooth, flat top was used for a bad stead, the heated surface imparting an agreeable feeling of warmth during those cold nights of long ago, when such things as covers were quite rare. Cardinal Polignae of France waa per haps the first to attempt the construction of a stove wholly of Iron this at about the beginning of the eighteenth century. The Unit real improvement over the old Roman "stuba" was brought about by Franklin in tha year 1745. One of his efforts produced a typical bass burner, almost perfect and a model of workmanship. Stoves were not used in private houses to any gnat extent prior to the year 1830. Philadelphia Prsss. Taking Toa la a Stabla. The Baroness von Zuyllan, of Paria, has the finest stables in the world for her mag nificent horses. Even those of the great czar himself do not equal them In magnifi cence. On Sunday afternoons she takes her tea in the stables, where down the cen ter of the great building a thick pile car pet ia placed leading up to the tea room. The horses come np to the table for sugar from their mistress like pet dogs. The buildings cover three acre of ground. New York Sun. Looking Forward.
