April and May aro the best months for

Cooked rico, fed cold, is good for diar
rhoea in chickens.
Don't feed sulphur to young chickens
it produces leg weakness.
The newer the butter tho quicker the
sale and the higher the price.
The pigs should bo fed to secure as
nearly all their droppings as iossible to
tho manure heap or fields, and not to tho
wash of the streams.
Every woman should start a formid
able rebellion against open setting of
milk in pans; either in water or air, and
against working butter threo times.
Clover hay, cut up about an eighth of
an inch, mixed with bran, and scalded,
makes a capital breakfast for the fowls,
and one that will tell wonderfully on the
egg oasket.
Manure the quince tree more frequently
and heavier than any other; keep the
soil loose with an annual dressing of
coal ashes and salt, and give thorough,
but shallow cultivation.
A horse that is naturally courageous
may be made cowardly by abuse. If he
ofton receives blows the fear of them is
uppermost, nnd any unknown noise is
imagined to bo a coming hurt, to escape
which is an uncontrollable impulse.
The high winds shake young trees
severely, and if tho ground is very wet
the trees are liable to be blown over. A
stako should be used tor holding voting
trees until the summer season opens, or
until the trees become firmly rooted.
Old pasture fields are usually full of
weeds which have crowded the grass out.
To utilize such pastures turn sheep on
them. The sheep will cat the young
weeds as well as the grass, and greatly
assist in destroying the pests. In the
fall the sod can be turned under and
rcsecded with less danger of tho weeds
again appearing.
Ilandsomo picture frames may be
made at homo, by gluing ears of ryo or
oats, tiny shells, beans or acorns, upon a
simple wooden foundation. Then coat
the frame and ornament with white
paint. AVhen this is thoroughly dry,
(over with metal paint, either gold or
bronze, and if well arranged tho effect
will be most satisfactory.
Young bulls of tho improved breeds
aro sold at a very low figure compared
with their real value, anil farmers who
have dairy herds can grade up their
btock at a "very low cost by securing the
males when tliey are young. Heifers are
high, as they are in greater demand by
those who do not object to paying good
prices for superior stocK.
It is common practice with many
farmers to delay seeding till tho gronnil
is settled and frosts are over, when, un
less the season bo finite wot, the seed
will not germinate; or, if it start, it is
very liable to bo killed by drought in
Juno, before tho germ has sufficient
strength to resist it, hence a failure,
which curly seeding would have avoided.
Guineas do not usually commence
laying until late, but after thoy once
begin will lav very steadily." Like
turkeys, they prefer to hide out their
nests, and will need to be looked after if
the eggs are secured fresh. As witl
turkeys, ducks and geoso, the first eggs
should be sot under hens. More eggs
and moro poultry will bo secured if this
plan is lollowed.
The Delaware grape succeeds in nearlv
all sections, but is not us hardy as tho
Concord. The latter is the favorite
market variety, but its sale is greatlv
injured by the Ives' seedling, which is
sent to market before it is ripo, thus
creating a distrust against the Concord,
which is roallv an excellent grape, but
strongly resembling the Ives. The
Clinton is an excellent late grape, and
produces well in this section.

A correspondent makes inquiries re
garding mulct and Hungarian grass.
Thoy are very similar in appearance, but
the millet grows higher and atlords hut
ono cutting, while the Hunuarian grass
can bo cut overy live weeks if the soil is
rich, l hoy aro summer crops, nnd arc
not usually sown until Mnv. Tho hav
from millet and Hungarian grass is
highly relished bv all classes of stock.
and the yield is usually heavy. The
ground should bo well manured, linrrowed
tine and ten quarts of seed pornere sown,
or oven more if a thick growth is lesirod.
Food for brooding sows should be care
fully prepared. There is no hotter food
tor breeding sows than sKim milk with
wheat bran. There is very little fat in
either, yet such is tho appetite of u
brooding sow that she will fatten rapidly
if given all she can eat of oitiior of these'.
But the pigs thus nourished loforu birth
will bo strong ami vigorous, and what
fat the sow has will not bo in any dan
ger of making her nervous or feverish.
If a supply of boots and mangel wurtiols
have been provided they will be worth
more than grain to food to breeding sows
as to cooling diet for those disiKwd to

UGLY FASHION LEADERS.
Three I'uinoin Women .Aforo Noted for In
tellect TIiiiii llentity.
Isn't it a bit odd that tho women
who moro than any others havo con
trolod tho fashions within tho past
twenty-five years havo not been beau
tiful women? Thoro aro threo of
whom it may bo said that thoy gavo
tho cuo to La Mode, and theso aro tho
Princesso do Mottornich, Sara Bern
hardt and tho Princess of Wules I
raugo them as they have control. Mmo.
do Mottcrnioh had an ugliness that,
like a Japanese teapot of any value,
was so ugly it was uniquo tho ugli
ness that has moro of a cachot than
mero bounty, for merely beautiful
women can bo found overy day, whilo
absolutely ugly ones, blessed with
wonderful wit and n peculiar charm of
manner, aro noted whon found. Sara
Bernhardt was never a beautiful wom
an, at tho samo time, oven about her
personal appearance, thero was some
thing fascinating, and whon sho is
acting tho firo of genius makes hor
dull skin look warm and pink, hor al
most colorless eyes burn brightly nnd
hor rumpled hair seem an artistic ar
rangement. Tho Princess of Walos,
with her swcot, lady-liko. refined faco,
is charming, but that is all. Tho Lon
don papers can ravo as thoy will about
hoc beauty an hour's walk in any
largo city in tho United States will dis
co vor a hundred girls hotter looking
and with equal refinement of faco. Tho
first ono of theso threo womou mado
black vory chic; boforohnr timo ithad
been dedicated to the bourgcoiso; the
second mado frills of lace, looso-fitting
gloves, picturesquo hats and all styles
specially suited to slender womon tho
voguo, whilo tho last gave to tho high
military collar, tho dainty llttlo bon
net, and simplo nrrangomont of tho
hair tho soal of hoc approval. Each
ono of theso womon was clover enough
to niako fashinablo oxactly tho bo
longlngs that hid hor dofeots, and to
know how to hide n doect or bring out
u perfection Js tho art of tiio modlsto
to-day. Philadelphia Times.
