THE FARM BUDGET.

The Liw u2 Adulterate Milk Whita Battfi:e Pfitxta Slcss cn Tcmtscs. Canning Fruits Cottlng Oats Feeding Meat Colt Calve Huarlig Flxdressing 21a chine Household Illats. The law and Adalderated Tlllk. Two decisions have recently been rendered by the court of appeals of New York la rases brought under toe act of 1885 ' to prevent deception in the sale of dtiry products and to preserve the pablii beiUh." Tfce first case, says the Utica Herald, was that of the people against II an ford West. Thi. defendant lives in Erie County, and was accused cf the crime cf watering milk and brirglDg it to a cheese factory for nm there. It would seem that his counsel did rot deny the offenee, but set up in defense a claim that the statute of the Legislature making such an act indictable and criminal was not constitutional. The court in its decision takes the ground that "a legislative act is presumably valid, and whoever questions its validity must be able to point to some limitation or restriction, or to some guarantee in the Constitution of the State or the United States Ti bich it violates, before its operation can be stayed or the Court be called upon to pronounce it void." An act that Hi&y be entirely innocent, except morally, before the passage of law, is rendered criminal by tte existence of the lav, '"an J ti.e statutes contain very many instances cf ec's prohibited, the criminality of which consists solely in the fact tbt they are prohibited, and not at all in their iarriifric ciua'i'y." Thus the court falfy i ttablirbes the poer of tbe Legislature to pass tnch laws as it deem? proper fr the protection of the puM?c. But it goes even further than this. It is not necessary that the person who delivers watered mitk at a factory should do so with fraudulent intent in order -to bring him within the action of the law. "It puts upon the person brir?irg or supplying milk to a butter or cheese manufactory the risk of ascertaining that the milk is pure." This is the principal ?pecially involved in the second decision that of The i'fiapie vs. Charles Kibier. The appellant was convicted for selling adulterated milk under the Mise law. Kibier alleged in defensa that be was rot allowed to show an absence of criminal intent. There was no question abent tLe fact. The court of appeals, in its decision, says: "As the 1a stands, kec w!r dge or i ntection forms no element of the cffcLse. The act alone, irrespective or its motive, constitutes the crime." Further on, the court explains this position. "It is notorious that the adulteration of food has grown to proportions S3 eaorrnoui as to menace tte health and safety of tae people, ingenuity keeps pace with greed, and the careless and heedless consumers are exposed to increasing perils. To redress tuen evils is a plain duty, but a difficult task. Experience ha3 tangnt the lesson that repressive measa.-es nhich depend for their efficiency upon proof of the dealer's knowledge, and of his intent to deceive and defraud, are of little n, acd rarely accomplish their purpose." For this reason It u niS33?ar that the responsibility of knowing abio lately that Lis milk is pure is thrown upon the shoulders of every farmer who delivers milk to a factory, and every ciilkdea'er who sells milk to customers in town or city. Even if an employe should water tte milk without the knowledge of the prrpnetor, the latter would be responsible all the same. These questions have cot run their course through all the courts, and tfce highest court in the stite has made the decisions we have pointed out above. It btbooves farmers to keep a sharp lookout over their workmen. Experiments In Maaurlng. Seme valuable information is to be de rived from the experiments on permanent and temporary pastures now being carried out for the second year by Mr. Martin John Sutton, with the assistance cf Dr. Voe Icker, at Dyson's Wood, near Reading. . Ec gland. The plota in five sets of experi ments, manured last year, have been left unmatured this season, in order to see the ittults. The mo?t striking result, obvious In every set of experiments, is the failure of ciircgf ncu3 manures to do any gojd In tfce second year after application. In fact. a u rale, the growirg crop of gras? is worse wheie it if ceived sulphate oi ammonia or n:t:atO)f scdaias. vear thanlwhere no min ims at all was applied In that season, the clovers having been apparently saiotherea by TLe bnlk of coarse grass forced by those nannies last summer, when they produced the heaviest crt pa. So far as can be judged txfere weighing tte crcp?, now about to be cut, tte test results from last year a appli cation of mennre in every one of the s''x sets of experiments will be given by a mix ture of superphosphate of lime and kainlt, ZiO weight ol the former to 200 weieht-of tre latter, although in one case a dressing aieu uiciuuiER ivju wciKntoi nitrate oi sona may stand first. Totash, either in the form of kaimt or muriate of potatb, has told greatly of tte irowta of clover. In ruin bets of xperimenta twfive extra plota have Deea manured this .vear lor the hrat time. In these the best results have been attained, on tfce whole, by ten tons per tcre oi larmvtrd manure, which not only enriched the soil but protected the grass during the long, cold spring. This dressitg, however, was by far tne most costly cf all the manures, the value being set at 3. Nearly f anal results hava been obtain d by the use of five hundred wetzht decorticated cotton cake, costing ll5i; croflcur hundred weight basic cinder. two hundred weight kainit, and one hunorta weignt nitrate oi soda, costing XI Is. 3d. ;orcfore hundred weight nitrate of ecda and three-fourths hundrei weight muriate of potash, costing 17s GL I u this list case the nitrate has helped the crop for the nrst season, and the merit rous rot be attributed to the basic cinder, which has been beaten by an equtl weight of ground coprolites (ostinz Cj more per acre) wherever the two have been tned against each other, with kainit only in addition. When this year's crops cave ceen cut and weighed, it will b po aibie to see which manures have paid best in two successive seasons. One important lesson, quite accidentally obtained in tb course of the experimentsf.should not go nn mentioned. In one held, where the ex perimental plots were Inclosed in iron hurdles, while sheep were depastured on the rest of the field last autumn, there is a good growth of clover in the inclosed parts of the field and scarcely any in the rest. Either the clover was destroyed by th sheep eatice out the hearts of the plants, or. here was some shedding of seed on the cJoHd plota. the aftermath from which vnbcxit till the middle of November. Pre portion of Lambi to Ewes, The proportion of lambs to ewes, sayi a writer in ine t arming World, var ies very considerably. On hill farms It ;i considered extremely good management ta rear one lamb for every ewe. It there are many barren ewes this can not be done, as It is seldom that twin lambs are me with cn the hills. In untoward seisins, or with bad management therefore. the la nbs often do not exceed 75 or 80 per cent, of the ewes. I nave known case3 in socas years, where this peroeataze was not exceeded on arable sheep farms, while on the aam jarms in other seasons 150 per cnt. or the Iambs have been reared; the deficiency in the former cae being caused m much by abortions as by barrenness In the ewei. Borne breeds are of course more prolific than others; but twins or couples in tha proportion of one-third to one-naif of the JtlM p9 jjaconuaoq where the

keep la good and the management judicious. I could produce examples where 175 lambs have been reared for every 100 ewes, and that, too, year after year in large nocks. Still, rush results are

comparatively rare, l nave beiore me. however, the statistics oi nve aimrem flocks, which may be accepted as aiTjrdin g evidence of fairly average remits. In a tmp.ll flock of Southdown ewes ihe percentage of lambs is 130; in a large flack of Oxford Down ewes it is 129; in another large flock of the same breed it is 123; in a lock of 500 cross bred Hampshire ewe3 it is 110. and in a Mock of C00 Sauthdown ewes it is 109. It is well to give the shep herd a small bonus of six penes or one shilling for every lamb above the number of ewes at weaning time. This encourages him to do bis best to bring tbe lambs safely through the most risky pariod of their lives. A FJax-Dresatog Machine. Mr. TV. S. Johnson, of Lelfast, hai per fected new flax-breaking and scutching machines, which are hiehly spoken of. The Irish Textile Journal writes and de scribes them: We will mention the breaking machine first. The dried flax straw is passed through a Eeriea of fluted rollers of special pattern, and graduated from coarse to fine, thoroughly breaking the woody part of the plant, and removing most of the shove, and would be a Vilaable machine for use In ordinary scutchmills. The scutching-maching is of very Biro pie construction, and doesit3 work ia . . . a very rapid ana perioct manner, tue fiber com irg from it peifectly free from straw or shove. Tbe Max straw, as taken from the sheaf, is divided into beats of suitable size, and fixed into an iron clamp of a peculiar kind, and theae are fed into the machine, traveling along parallel bars, and by an ingenious arrangement every portion of the straw is subjected to the action of the metal breaking and cleaning bars, the result of the operalion being an exceedingly well-scutchcd flax and only a small quantity of tow. It is stated to have given resulta varying from 15 to 23 per cent, of flax, or from 20 to 30 per cent over the ordinary average of mill-scutched fibre. Some of the 11 ix scutched by this machine has been hackled in several spinning mills, and the percentage of dressed lime was found to be greater than from flax cleansed by the ordinary process. If further experiments on a larger scale bear out the favoraole expectations formed of this invention it is destined, we should think, to play a very la-.portant part in the future of the trade, and one cf its special recornrnenditions its SRall price lor tbe work it is suited to te able to accomplish. ZZl Methods of Feediog Meat. It is universally conceded among poultry raucrsinour country that a supply of meat ia an absolute necessity to laying bens, says a writer in tbe New Pngland Farmer, but as to methods of meeting this need diversities of opinion are numerous. Cat rot to expatiate upon the different modes in which treat id fed to hens, I will brif fly state my opinion on the subject, givirg the method which, in my experience, has proved iteelf most satisfactory aiid profitable. In summer, wuon hens are given their freedom in roamtrg about they will obtain a sufficient quantity of insects, worn23,etc. to rupply their want cf animal food. Bat in tbe winter, as they have no su:a opportunities, the continuation of their animal diet is dependent upon the owner. Tne test rxethed of eupplving bens with a meat diet is to obtain a beef creature's brad, which can be purchased for 10 or 13 cents from any butcher, and twiC9 or three times a weekwith an old ax, a part of it snould be chopped up lor them. As bone is also a necessity to hens, when this head Is cropped up, bone and flesh together. hens receive two very essential elemen s of their necessary diet. After the requisite sappiy oi meat is chopped ou the head shouid be allowed to remain in a convenient corner in the hen house, that th6 fowls may bave an opportunity to pick it over and devour the particles of bone and meat wh ch remain,, thus eflording them considerable exercise. . e ri rMJ Care of Colts -v T At about the end of the sixth month iu colt should be weaned. Daring the sum id er and autumn months he should be allowed to be at grass, which, if succulent rd abundant, will be all that Ij required as fotd. When taken up in the antnma a fcmoent quantity of the besthagina hay, with two or three quarts of bruis'doaK should be given daily. Twice during the wmk the colt stoald receive a fw carrots cut ud and tiven raw or steamed, which would render tbem more easily a&similateo. and to these a litue bran should be mixed. PUnty of frfsb. clean water sbonH be accessible to the animal. Projection from tne weather at all times should ba orovid ed, and during the cold season warm, wil ventilated, sunny quarters are extremelv in-portant. Tte first year of the colt's life, especially tne nrst winter, is the most critical period of bis existence. If through neglect he is allowed to get out of condition be will never quite recover from the elTects. Con quently proper food and an abundance of it, with care to cleanliness of his person and quarters, are most essential. Grain never produces a large belly, either upon the colt or tbe adult; certainly not ur if ss led out m the most extraordinary tcacner, which would prove destruction to the animal. Care of CaJvlog Cows. A great deal cf trouble is experienced Kith cows when calving because of sheer carelefstffs. This is a process of nature. and there fthnuld be no t-ouble; but if we antagonize nature in other directions we cripple her all round. Many a cow has no special attention paid to her either while sue is C8rrjirg her calf or at calving time. bhe is permitted to get alorg tbe best she can ; and not infrequently tbe system is in such a eaiened condition that to expect br to calve with safety is foolish. Bat she should rot be killed with kindness. She thculd tot be fattened, for instance. She should simply be kept in good condition. and every ore's judgment will suggest what trat is. Milk secretion should cot be KTtatly erccuregrd before calving. The animal's food should consist principally of tfce tone and muscle forming varieties. And after calving great care should be tkentfcat ste dor s cot get celd, and her frod for a few days should be of a noustimnlatirg character. The system for a time reeds opportunity to recuperate, and tntil it has bad a chance to do that no additional strain should be put upon it; for a time the machinery should be run at a low rpeed. Destioy the White DnUerllle. Cabbtge growers soon learn the true character of tbe white butterfly, wMca Isjs the eges that breed the cabbage worm. These butterflies are easiest caught early in the morning, when chilly with the nieht's cold. At mid-day they fly rapidly from plant to plant and if pursued speedily baccme so sby that it Is impossible tn gst near them with a net. There are some parasites which prey on the worm, and If the butterflies are thined out early, when tbe cabbages are set, the parasites will take care that what few are left do no 1 .image. If the parasite has not appeared in any neighborhood send to soma other locality for samples and breed it. Catting Oats. Tbe old rule ia to cut oats rather green and let them lie in the swath one day before binding. This gave them time to dry cut, and.the weight of grain was greater. Since the use of twine binders has became general it is getting to be the fashion to leave oats until pretty ripe, because as they are bound when cut the center oi a green bundle of cats dries out very slowly. IX

wet weather comes it is extremely diShnlt to; bave freshly-bound green oata dry encash to put into the barn wlU safety.

Many farmers who have seli-bindera use their old reapers for cutting oats. It takes nearly twice as much twine to bind an acre of oats as it does an acre of wheat. The oata are more easily bound by hand than any other grain, as their straw is soft and pliable, 11 the oats are down Daaiy, as they are more apt to do man any otner grain, it ia difficult to get a self-binder tiown low enoogh to pick up the grain, as a good workman will with a reaper. Bat where the hinder win worz at au u win make better bundles than a majority of men who hire out at high prices to wotfc in the narvett field at binding grain. Low Price tor Machine Work, Nothings shows tbe great competition in agricultural machinery bettar than the reduction in prices of cutting grass or grsin. When the mowing machine first came around a farmer furnished the team while some one owning the mower drove it and cut his grasa tor $1 per acre. Now this turn will cut and bind an acre of wheat or other grain, the owner of the harvester paying for the twine, which averages fifteen to twenty cents per acre. In come parts of the West where there are large fields still lower rates are made, but without much profit to tbe man running the machine. If a farmer be at all deficient in mechanical ability he neei not regret the fact much it he can get machine work done at this price. There are probably enough machines now to do the harvesting, but breakages and bad management make room for new ones every year. Canning Fruits and Vegetables. Canning fruits is unquestionably a great improvement on the ol 1 method of doing everything up In its weight of sugar for preservation. By using a smaller amount of sugar the flavor of the fruit i3 better preserved and there is greater variety. But some should also be put up according to the old method, especially of the very acid fruits, which iu cans are often too sour to suit most tastes. Many in cities do not take the trouble to put up fruit in its season. They argue that it is nearly or quita as cheap to buy, and where fruits can be brought from the tropics at all times in the year every season has its own supply. Few farmers, however, feel like paying out money for foreign fruits while taey have more delicious varieties from their own grounds. Potato Slugs od Tomatoes. "Where there are not plenty of potatoes for the bfetlt-a to lay tbeir eres upon they will fiock to tbe tomato plants and becoaue quite tioublesorae. Em if the two plan's are side Ly sids the potato beetle w.ll attack the potato by preterence. This is presumably because tne parent bug was hatched and fed on the potato. After one generation bred on tomatoes this preference will be reversed. Sometimes the beetle, not finding either plant, Jajs her ffs on grass, thistles or wetds, but the young do not mature unless they can get their natural and proper food. Ilonsebold Hints. A small piece of batter placed In starch is said to give a hue polish. Warm salt water inhaled through the nostiils will cure cold and catarah. A pood cement to close the cracks in stoves is male by mixing wood ashes and ealt. Bathing the eyss when tired or weak In warm salt water will sooth and strengthen them. Silver should be washed with a chamoie skin saturated will silver soap ea?h time after use, thus avoiding a general cleaning. It is said by some housekeepers that the addition of a little vinegir t3 the water in which toagh meat is borled will have the efWct of tendering it tender. "Windows and mirrors can be made to shine without long polishiag, if after being washed in hot soapsuds they are rubbed dry with a newspaper. The wllte cf an ecg beaten to a stiff froth whipped up with the juice of one lfnjon and taken half hourly, will relieve hoenenets and soreness of the chest, f A cement to be used to mend rubber boots and shoes is made by dissolving rubber cut fine in benzine. This cement, it is claimed, will firmly fasten on a rubber patch. Hancld bntter boiled in water with a a portion of charcoal, say a tenth part, will be entirely divested of ita rancidity and may be used for cooking purposes, althou :h its fine flavor will not be restore 1 for the table. A great convenience in the bath-room or above the washstand is a sp'asher made of enamel cloth, with two or three pock ets. The edges should be bound with scar let braid. The pockets are useful f jr holding brushes, sponge?, etc. A Eimple plan of stopping Weeding of the nose bas lately been advised. Grasp fiimly the nose with tbe finger and thumb for ten or rlftf en minutes; by thus completely stopping the movement of air through tbe noee (which displaces freshly formed clots) you will favor the clotting of the bl cod and will frequently stop hemorr hage. Keep cream apart from any strong smelling vegetables, as nothirg so readily ab sorbs odor s as milk or cream. Never put it into a jar that has bad vinegar, pickles or any acid in it until the jar is thoroughly cleanred and aired. The best plan is to have a jar especially for it, and be very particular that it ia often and thoroughly washed and aired. To purify a room set a pitcher cf water in tbe. apartment, and in a few hours It will have absorbed all the respired gases in the room, the air of which will have become purer, but the water utterly filthy. The colder the water is the greater the capacity to contain these casts. At the or dinary temperature a pail cf water will absom a pint of -caibonic acid gas and several pints c f atnonia. The capacity is marly doubled by reducing the water to tte temperature of ice. Hence water kept in a room for a while is unfit for use. I Some lecent 'medical writer has well said, in tbe main, as follows: The purity of diinkiDg-water can not be too carefally watched. The ordinary filter only makes matters worse. Tbe materials through which the water flows eoon become a b'feding place for the lower orders of vegetable lie, while they strain out the courier particlts of dirt acd give it a delusive appearance of purity. The nnglezed p?rcelain filter is mostly free from auch objections. This takes out all organized bodies, and when the ice is not brought into contact with water thus filtered it gives all the security that can be required against taking into the system the germs of disease. .There is no security against the products of putrefaction passing through such a Alter. In fact, the only way to guard against these is to watch tfce source of water supply with unceasing vigilance. Farm Notes. Give the young chicks a chance at the insects in the orchard and garden. Do not be afraid to thin out fruit or plants. The same rule will apply to root crops. Carrots often receive great injury from a few days' neglect in weeding at thb season. Fowls will rat a great deal of granulated charcoal, As a preventive of disease it is invaluable. Boiled potatoes, meat scraps, table crumbs, etc., serve a better purpose in the hen house than in the swill barreL At least one poultry ration a day in the morning should be soft food ground grain mixed with water or milk. A farmer in Kentucky keeps tbe worms cfT cabbage by sprinkling with two gallons

of water mired with one gallon of buttermilk. The market grower is liable to make a great mistake who overlooks the neighboring borne market, trusting to the large towns only. Salphur and tobacco leaves burned in the poultry bouse, the house being closed perfectly tight, will clean out the red lice, says a contemporary. Planta may be grown In comparatively small pots if watered occasionally with i'

weak solution of guano, hen's droppings, or sulphate of ammonia. Fruit to bring good prices nowadays must be fair and large, while small, inferior fruit of any kind is not worth the trouble of sending to market. Grass should be cut, it possible, when it Is dry. When help is plenty it is better to do this work in the afternoon, after the heat of the day has partially subsided. There are over fifty poultry associations in the United States that annually give exhibitions. They have been instrumental in greatly advancing the poultry interests. Coal ashes are not fit for the dust-box until the cinders have been sifted out. A hen cannot throw coal cinder on her back. They are too heavy; beside, they hurt her feet. Farm horses protected by thin blankets fiom tlies in hot weather'will keep in good condition much more easily than if exposed to the torment of innumerable bites during all the hours of the long, hot days, There is considerable ground in the gar den that for eeveral months of goo I corn weather produces nothing but weads, whereas it couJd be made to afiord f sed for many a pound cf 35 cent butter in supplementing the pastures. Young lawr;s afier the first winter, have more or Jes3 low places, where unequal set tlement has occurred, and thpse want to ba filled np until good, even surfaces ara prodnced, then re-seed all raps with fresh seed. ai;U roll with an l.blü pound eectioaal roller. Tbe object of plowing corn in a drv sei sm is not so much to kill the weedi as to form a mulch of dry dirt that will con dense the moisture in the shape of ds, and that will conserve or sive the moisture that comes up from the hidden reservoirs below. The erand hall staircase in the new Equitable Luildicg in New York City includes specimens of the finest and rarest marbles of the entire world. Drafts have baen made upon the historic Kam an quarries and tfce marble mines of India and other countries where me qualities of stone ha7e been discovered. The grouping of these specimens has been no small labor. Danbury is rather fond of its ten-year-old girl ball player; but her parents are not. She is said to catch with perfect ea, grace and accuracy, even the highest fly being captured with rsre judgment. Sae does cot throw overbanded like girls in general, but puts it in from the shoulder in tte true stjle. Iler parents bave punnisfced fcer in various ways for playing ball on the street. It dees no good, as he passion for it amounts to a maDia. Anight or two since, while Mrs Emmi Geptart, cf Tuscola, III , was preparing to retire sbe chanced to lift up one of the pillows cf the bed, in doing which she disturbed a large blue racer that had coiled itself underneath to snooz. Her screams aroused the household, and the intruding reptile was soon dispatched. As a large meple grew near the bouse the snake is supposed to have climed up that and out on its branches to reach her room, which was on the eccond floor. Col. Batcheldor, tbe official historian of Gettysburg and an cflicer in the Gettysburg Memorial Association, has received au order from tbe War Department for turn Irg over to hiai 140 field pieces complete, which, es fast as received, are to be placed in tbe positions where they were used in the battle. This is the number of guns in the batteries of tbe regular army which took part in the fight. The guns now to be furnished are not in all cases the identical cnes which were used in the battle, but they will be of the same patterns. The order is under an act of Congress making a donation of these guns for the purpose indicated. Winter rye appears to be decreasing rather than increasing in popularity in Ontario, a good many farmers who sowed it in past vears confessing that they find it too tin prclii able. The crop swoii t De in pretty good condition, tb frrä's fTs3"irg but süghtly the light soils on which it is dually grown. Tbe cultivation of this cial, lowever, can hardly be said to be veceral in euy section of the province, but tbtre ara patchi s of it to be foind in raoat rcunties, ard occdsionallv even ia the district cf Mmkoka. In Central and Ea&tem Ontario it is found in greater afcntdance tbsn in the West, but even here tbe reports ssem to show a falling orT in tbe acreage. In the western group of y unties, Norfolk appesrs to be the only ronrty in which any considerable area is grown, and this is also the only countv in which tbe acreage seems to have made any increase. The canning'of green peas, which is now a busy industry in Delaware is an Interesting process. The peas are shelled by hand and then fed into the hopper of a separator, which divides them into three grades. Then tbey are put into copper kettles, where they are steamed jast enough to wrinkle tbe outer skin and and intensify if possible tbe vivid green of the pea. They are then filled into cans, which are place! in an iron tray and dippel into a trough or tray of boiling water, hich runs into tbe cans filling them to the brim. This water contaics whatever of a preservative nature is put into the cans to preserve the vrgefable. The cans are then wiped, sealed and packed in Iron cages, each cage holding 243 cans. These cages are put into air-tight steam kettles, where the cans are enbjfcted to hot steam under intense presore for about fifteen or twenty minutes. The peas are then ready for market. M Whistling." I From tbe Chicago Journal. A comparative new class of music is likely to te heard a good deal of in Chicago before any cf us are many months older. This is nothing more cor less than whistlir g. At the first reading, with one's mind full of recollections of the whistling fiend of the street car, sidewalk and office, the statement may appear a little far-'etched. But until one has herrd a really accomplished whistler, like several young people I know, whistle pretty and intricate music to an artistic piano acenmpainment, and with a taultW ss regard for time, shading and eo forth, he can have no idea of the beauty cf the accomplishment. The ordinary human whistle, like the ordinary human voice, is rough and discordant, and crates harshly enough on tbe cultured ear; but some performances I have recent ly bad the pleasure of listening to convince tne that the really talented whistler bas an object and a future. A notice that I saw recently in a New York society paper of a young woman whose husband collapsed suddenly from wealth to penury, and who is now helping him by earning $25 a night by whistling at private entertainments, lends color to my views. The really good whistler, once heard, becomes eo popular that I fancy a school for instructien in scientific whls'ling would find a ready road to prosperity. The proprietor of a hotel at North Branch, Mich., owns a useful dog. In the morning he tskas a bell in his mouth and rings at every door along the hall, and should some sleepy euest fail to reply. he bangs the bell against tbe door until he gets a response. At noon he takes tbe bell through the village to notify tbe boarders that it is time to eat, aad whenever he com es across s boarder he will not! cease ringing until be bears the "All, right, Tuik,'rfor which he i waiting. t

A PLAIN TALK TO GIRLS,

Kos Terry Cook Gives Some Advice Worth needing. fFrom the New York Mail and Excress. Tbey go to bed at night and fall Into a stupor, why not? Is then one breath of fresh air in their sleeping box? Do they ever, except in the beat of summer, have so much as a crack of the window open? If there is a fireplace in their room or a ttove-pipe hole, don't they close them up as tightly as they can? No wonder it is so hara to wake up in tne morning, l can hear them groan and moan and yearn and scold now at tbe imperative summons to get up. And what do they find on the breakfast table: bweet med cakes, something in the shape of meat, generally fried, potato either fried or stew ed, hot couee, and probably "griddle cakes," fried, of course. Now, I am not gofrg on a crusade azoinst the fryin-paa, for it bes its uses, but when L see a girl sit down at tbe break rast table with dull f yes, a sallow face, a listless manner, and proceed to make that early meal of strong coffee, sweetened cases, fried pork and potatoes, with a sequence of griddle cakes liberally buttered and drowned in molasses, I feel like shutting her up for a week a starvation on bread and water. Then there is dinner: tough meat, baked vegetables, pie, any kind of a pie with a crust either tough or sandy, tasting strong ly of Jard ana nuea with tne thing most convenient. A f tvorite pie in our country homes is constructed of sliced lemon. Hour and molasses, baked into a mass as unfit for the human stomach as a stewed rubber overshoe. Tea time brings cakes of various sorts, probsbiy more pie, cheese, fruit pre served and eo ill done it Is fermented, or canned fruit, which is comparatively harmless, strcrg tea and hot biscuit. Hapsst8fit for A cassowary. On the plains of Tlmbuctoo. Then to besin the day again. After breakfast they run up-stairs, spread up their bed with all the exhalations of their bodies during the night still imprisoned in it, they perhaps sweep the floor and dust the furniture; then they go down stairs and sew a little, or practica half aa hour, if they are so fortunate as to own a cheap piano or parlor organ. It is passible that they may make same cake if it is needed; they d waddle a graat deal, real a little and then it is dinner time; and they s:t down to dinner as they did to break fast, in an easy old gown, perhaps a wraprer; their front hair wrun? into tipht knots about crimping p'-ns, their bJiCktair inaduslv knot. Dinner over, tbey go up to their rooms again to dress for the afternoon. They lace up their cor?tts tighter, put on boots wi h heels two inches high, twiat tbeir hair into an unnatural llufi which covers their foreheads and gives them the aspect of a ßkje terrier, put cn a dress which is so "well fitt;ne" tnat tcev cannot raise their arrr s to their heads in it and go out to walk and see what they can see. After tea another girl comes in and they g'ggle and whisper together for a whue, aad then go cut together, perhaps with a youn man, to some third class show, or to a ball or a drive. They get ready, slip into their unaired beds after hanging the dre?s3S ttey bave worn eight or ten hoars in that tiRht shut closet, and repeat the expert ence cf the night bsfore. Now thev bave sown the seed. "What will the harvest be? ' First If it is winter, a heavy col J; th misused lungs forced to breathe over and over rgain air that bas no vitality in it, air that is absolutely noxious, become con Rested more or less, and they begin to cough and sneeze. If they have scrofula hidden m their constitutions and how few people have not the harvest of this planting will be bronchitis or consump t on. The next crop ia dyepepsia; they put into that delicate organ, tne human stom aub. already disgusted by the hard labor of its next neighbor, the lungs, and weak ened by the slow circu'ation of vitiated blood, vitiated by the bad air, a miss ol indigestible stuff tbey call fcoi; at first ttey do not notice any special effect; they are young and strong and can bear a good deal of physical misfortune without much trouble, but after a time food begins to distress them, life gets very tiresome, they have acid tastes in tbeir mouth?, heart burn, flatulence. Yes, 1 know they are unpleasant thirgs to talk of. but they area grt at deal more unpleasant to have. Then they lose their rest, their appetite. strength, courage, cheerfulness. This is a bad crop; it realizes the prime val enso. "Thorns and briers shall it bring forth unto thee." So tbey began to diet; but there is a har vest from that corset that abrogates the good of diet. They "don t even lac tieht.' I never knew a woman who did ! I mean who said she did. I have had a Btout woman of fity to tell me the same thing, adding tn umi heutJy "and I wear the same sized coreet I did at sixteen." I have every reason to suppose she thoogbt I was a lool. I must be, to be lieve that thirty-six years had not altered the size and shape ot a woman! I must be not to see in tae abr upt angle her hips made with her waist, tne immense size oi those hips and whole shape of her figure, Liuch like a wasp and a bumblebee cut ia two and the wasp's fore half spliced to the other half of tbe bee, tbe open secret that the cradually forced her ribs together above her lungs and stomach, till the natu ral spread of ber hgure had been ruthlessly l&mmed downward. However, for tbe sake of argument we will eay they don't lace; but they do press on all those ecu muscles about tbe organs of life an unyielding of bone and steel that takes all their strength away by supplying artificial strength. Tie your arm up in aslingfor six months and see bow useless it will become, and do vou think their stomachs and livers caa bear tbe still pressure of a corset without hcrm? ' Oh!'' says a host of voices, one after another. "I can t live without my corset! The minute I leave it off I am just as weak as a kitten; all gone; I can hardly sit up!" They bav? told the Btory now! They have disabled themselves; they have ruined ike wocdeifal work of God in their bodies, and the result, the harvest, is fearful; their Interior organs are all forced out of place, crowded, weakened, congested. Then to all this they add high-heeled shoes. rorsibly they do not know that the most delicate organs in their frames are only kept in place by muscular at tachments, bung, as it were, on the edee of those wonderful muscles that do the work of life; when they wear high heels tbey throw these muscles forward. where they do not belong; they produce displacement. Do you know that means one kind of torture? That grows into ul ceration: another anguish: and their lives. their usefulness, their comforts, are all ruined. Now when these are gone what can money do for them? What help is mar rirpe? a sickly wife, a helpless mother. Will clothes, however gorgeous, alleviate a backache or a&sasge dyspepsia? Will education do their ailiments one particle of good? No, not one atom. Let them learn to live in fresh air. open their win dows, wear flannel nightgowns and take a jug cf hot water to their beds u they are cold; but at night open the windows, aad air all their clothes and then room daily. Eat simple, wholesome food; wear bone less waists and button their skirts onto thsm; be rosy, happy and healthy, a comfort to everybody else as well as them selves. Kokk Terry Cooke. An Editor as a Refugee, The editor of a paper at Storm Lake, Ia., was slightly mixed in reporting a cattle show and a concert. Consequently he is making himself scarce lor the time being, Ills item ran as follow; "The concert

most beautiful and interesting young ladies was highly appreciated. They were elegantly dressed and sung in a most charming manner, winning plaudits of tbe entire audience, who pronounced them toe nnest breed of short-horns in the country. A few of them are of a rich brown color, but the majority are spotted brown and white. Several of the heifers were finebodied, high-limbed animals, and promise to prove good property." A GLANCE AT THE FASUIOXS. A new shade of red is called "Ruddygore." "Peach-colored cold" is a new notion in jewelry. White and gold is the favorite combina tion for summer dresses. All yellow flowers are In fashion, and the dandelion holds first rank. Carmelite in gray or fawn color is a fa vorite material for traveling wear. A new idea in Jersevs ia a low-necked and short-sleeved one embroidered with beads. Spite of the efforts of fashion writers, dressmakers and milliners, heliotrope is not a popular color. It is "trying" to almost every variety of complexion. Another fabric very popular at the seaside is a heavy quality of wrinkled cbeeseclothin delicate evening shades. They are trimmed with numerou i rows of nar row watered ribbon, and produce good effects in draping. Toint d'espirit is much used for summer evening gowns, not only in white but the new colored aorta that come in 6hade3 of green, hel-otrope, porcelain blue and old pink. The narrow watered ribbon is a favorite trimming on thesa frocks also. For weaiirg to the bath gowns easily put off and on are selected. A pretty one was or sort, iip;ht weight, cream-colored flannel, S'mply draped and trimmed with wide Hercules braid. The bodice was a loose belted waist of llannel, wish fine blue lines through it, made !with sailor collar, open ing over a snirt or white uannei. A novel design for cloaks for traveling or coaching is copied from the cloaks of the Irish peasant women and envelop the wearer from head to foot. They are made of six or seven breadths of twilled silk gathered to a velvet standing collar. They are without sleeves, but the front breadths are doubled from the foot up and the arms pass out between the doubled fronts; n ribbon belt attached to tbe two back seims lorms them Into the waist. These cloaks are ihotn ia brown, gray or navy-bine silk, stripad with hair lines of ecru or red, and are shirred into the velvet collar. Thin eilks made waterproof are made up in this design for rain or dust cloaks. Other traveling cloaks of gray camel's hair cr serge are made up with a much closer sbape and are trimmed with three rows of dull silver ealloon. Dark. cross-barred homespuns In shades of ecru and brown are made up S3 ulster and trav eling cap for use in ocean voyaging. The tailors are making coats for usa In yachting end coaching of poft, loo3ly woven woolens with herring bone stripes like chudah. Tfcesa have loose fronts held by a band or girdle fastened with a silver clasp, white the back is adjusted m long pleata, beginning at the collar. A cape or hood is worn with these garments: tbey are made np in fawn color with helio trope silk facing, or m gray blue with dark navy blue silk. Thev re&ch to the heel and wholly protect the garments under nealh. Travelling dmss for summer journeys by rail or s-teamer are mad of lastrorjs mohairs, either in Bhadesof French eray or gray and white stripes, stripes of fawn and white, blue und white, or solid dark blue. Some of these dresses are br&i ied with picot braid In flower patterns, while o'hers have only Etitching. Some of thf se mohair travelhr g gowns, made for June brides', have been trimmed with the many rows of nsrrow mcire ribbon so popular just now. With them are worn little, close bonnets of gray straw, trimmed with Russian tulle and clusters of red carnations, forget-me-nots or bluettes, The English girls are wearirg frocks of white organdy and sheer mull, made with voluminous draperies and all the edges hem-stitched. These frocks have big bit-fa-ops sleeves which come down full nearly to the waist and held there by a band of ribbon, a full frill falling abijut the wait. The neck is cut half low, with a wide frill of lace gathered on tbe edge and fallin? downward, after the fathion of our mothers' ' bfrthaa " Around the throat English girls wear with these dresses a tight necklace of amber or gold beads or imitation pearls immediately bent ata the chin. Thi?, however, is only becoming to those who have very round, full throats that are not tco long. Tbst cobwebby Indian fiilk fabris tha used to be known years ago as "pineapple (ranze," is re-introduced under the name o "sunshiny," and comes with the edge lined with five or six rows on the edge more closely woven than the rest. Thia is torn off in lengthwise stripes and serves, unhemmed, for the flounces. A pretty black dress of this gauze had a full, plain skirt, with stripes running lengthwise about it, Another full skirt over it was draped a little, and in tbe back was a sash of the palest pink moire, the ribbon sixteen inches in width. The waist was laced up the back, and pointed both back and front, was half low in the neck and lined with folds of pale pink crepe lisse; tbe sleeves were unJined and were filled at the arm-hold, held in at tbe elbow with fife rows of narrow pink mcire ribbon. A Squtdge. "Among circus and theatrical people an admission ticket is called a 'sqnidge.' " said a man at Forepiugh'a circus. "The origin cf tbe expression goes back many years. Along in the 'X)s a negro boy applied for admission at a circus in one of the Southern towns. He had neither money nor tickets. The door-tender stopped the lad at the entrance and told him be could not get into the tent unless he had money, or its equivalent The poor boy ran cryirg to his parents, who asked him why he was not at the circus. With a sob and a face wet with tears, tbe lad blurted out that he couldn't get in until he sot some money or a 'squidgelum.' The man at the tent dcor was very much amused when tbe boy's tale was told him, and ever after that a ticket has been known among the; boys as a tquidge, or "Equldgelum. Mrs. Uonclcault'a 825 Nightgowns. Xew York Letter in BuSalo News.l Two nightgowns which I saw at my dressmaker's were of good white surah, shirred all over the shoulders. Each one contained fifteen yards of surah, which with $10 for the making brought them up to $25 apiece in cost, to say nothing of the little matter of laundering week in and week out They were beautiful enough for a neglige, but that was not to be their mission. They were to have a purely nocturnal career. For nightgowns were they intended from the beginning. Mrs. Boucicault, wife of the eminent Dion, was their owner.
