Passing Summer. Where tho rod rose waves good-by Whero tho south winds sadly sigh. We shall bid farewell to sumraor as a dream that had to die; For tho snows of winter loom Spectral white against tho gloom Of the shadowed sky that stretches over IIpUIb boreft of bloom. We shall miss her lanes of light In tho sweep of winter's blight "We shall mourn her passing bounty as we come to say good-night; All her golden yesterdaysAll her sunny, flowered ways All the sweetness of her twilight where tho moon drifts through the base.

Increase the grain ration Just before lambing. Feed lightly for several days after lambing. Don't put your money Into elaborate barns bofore you have found out your ability as a shepherd. Mating Poultry. The terms "cockorel-hreodlng pen" and "pullet-breeding pen"-are used exclusively when dealing with the mating of exhibition birds for color nnd mark - ing. For the rormer, birds are mated to produce males of the correct type.! and the females from this pen are sen- j orally not of much use for show purjwsea For pullets It is. of course. Just the opposite that Is. necessary to breed from birds of different color or with different head points. It is entlrely wrong to Imagine thnt the terms ' are used to Imply that tho birds In ' these pens are mated to produce more . cocKereis man puueis nun vice versa. However, for this purpose certain rules may bo followed. For Instance, It Is generally found that If a vigorous cockerel he mated with not more than three adult hens tho male sex almost always largely predominates in at least the early progeny. At a later period this liecomes uncertnin. On tho other hand, If an adult cock bo mated with not more thnn three pullets the result Is very uncertain, the one sex being ns likely to occur as the oth'-r. although usually tlioro Is a derided pr-dom

Gardeninane on one side rather than equality. Again, if nn adult cock bo mated with live or more pullets, females are generally In excess, and what cockcrols I thero aro will be most numerous in tno i earlier eggs. Young or adult birds j mated together are very uncertain. Hut ; the fewer the hens and the more vigi orous the stock the greater Is the proportion of cockerels, which are always . more numerous in tht- earlier than In , the later eggs of n season. W. IL Gilbert, in the American Cultivator. j Makes Dairying Pay. A man who has been In the dairy business a few years writes that ho began with some select good grade ; cows that averaited bim f 72 a year each In butter and 0.500 pounds or skim milk per cow for feeding calves and pigs sweet from the cream separator. Afterward. ,he says, he bought two reentered Jersey cows, which were excellent milker and made him money. Then he bought a lot of very promising Jersey heifers. Now he has a herd that Is yiflding him JHW per cow In butter an 1 h tine lot of skim milk for feeding. b-sides a lot of good, promising calves He tluds that, while the dairy business gives him persistent and "active v ork to mannte, yet it pays him more than any other industry, and is making his farm more fertile? and productive every year by tho use , of the manure. lie has come to be1 ;icve that pure-bred roistered Jersey cows ar- mot profitable, considering their calves, butter fat and all. and Is working Into that kind of a dairy herd. Economy of Silage. j The farmer must rely more upon his j 'own efforts to produce nnd preserve hi own ferm thoe foods that will supplv the needs of hN dairy her.'. Commercial foodstuffs have been rapIdly advancing in price, and tmny are now too expensive for the dairy feeder to eond b-r when compiling his ration Silage will help take their places, and it is th most economical feed on the t farm. Curing Seed Corn. The man who merely desires to cure s-uflifient :-eed for the plant ine of thirty or forty acres And no difficulty in securing -ome room In the house which is sutllcb ntly ventilated and which can be heated so as to cure th- corn. Th ' Rood seed ears can be tld together by means of binder twine and strung on wires. Do not use a laundry room or any room that is not perfectly dry. Heavy Horses Best. A few good heavy draft horses will do more work on the farm than double the number of light ones Practically every team requires a driver. The more that team can do in a dav the more economical will the work be The light horse Is all rieht on the roa 1. but he is at a discount when hitched to a sixteen-inch plow. Square Deal for Chicks. For confining little cbkks while feeding so older ones cannot rob them, take a narrow piece of chicken netting and fasten the ends together in a circle and you can move It to a clean place every day with ease. Beekeepers In the United States. There aro 300.000 beekeepers in the Fnlted States, and the annual nrodiici ton 0f honey has a value of J 15.0OO.O0ft POULTRY NOTES. Grease of any kind on eggs will spoil them for hatching. Only keep as many hons as you can care for. A pound of naphthalene crystals dissolved In a gallon of coal oil is snld to make an excellent llco paint for the roosts. Don't forget that water is quite as Important as food and should be given clean and fresh. The hen that lays the egg Is the one that is always busy scratching among the litter for grain and feed. Get rid of the Idlers. Use every possible means to rid the promises of rats bofore the early chicks and ducklings hatch. The ikjuItry keeper has no worse enemy. The effectiveness of whitewash In the poultry house Is much Increased by applying It hot nnd getting It into ' the cracks and corners. Always add 1 plcntv of salt nraln the milk through a clean flannel cloth or through two or three thicknesses of cheese cloth. Aerate and cool the milk as soon as it S strained. The cooler It is the m0re souring Is retarded. If covers are left off the cans cover with cloth or mosquito netting. Never mix fresh milk with that which has been cooled, nor close a enn containing wnrm milk, nor allow it to ; freeze. If a good dog contracts the habit of sucking oggs a dose can be made of red pepper nnd Ipecac, put In an empty shell, pasted over with white paper, and Mr. Dog will soon lose his nppetlte for fresh hon fruit. The pale-faced sitting hen is lousy. itemove nor rrom the nest, rub insect powder through her feathers, provide her with a dust bath of dry earth, and while she Is Inking It put a handful of insect powder In the nest, To save the annoyance of foul-smell-ing chicken loses In whhh jou have

live poultry, slip two or three sheets of thick paper in the bottom. When empty throw these away. The roosts In the ioultry house should be low. so that the fowls need not Jump from any great height, which often causes humblefoot a swoJllng of the bottom and side of the foot. Nest eggs are useful to guide pullets or strange hens to loeato the nest boxes, but that is about the extent of It. The old theory that the presence of nest eggs induces egg production has long since been exploded. One of the worst thln the neat poultry keeper can do with the eggs Is to wash them. The warm water opens the poros of the protecting shell, and tho ogg decays in a very short time. Hotter dirty eggs than spoiled ones.

BIG MONEY FOR IDEAS. Riches Await Man Who Will Invent Time-Savers. It is agreed on all hands that invention offers oue of the surest roads to fame and fortune, and one of the shortest, too. Now thero Is no lack of inventive genius; there never were so many clever people in the world as there are to-day, but somehow their energies are not always applied in the right direction, and so they fall. It Is Just the old story of eyes and no eyes; you cannot see w hat is wanted. There is a plumber laboriously pouring melted lead over a pipe Joint and smoothing It down with a leather pad. Can you not think of a way to join those pipes cold, and to do it quickly nnd thoroughly? if you can there is a fortune waiting for you. And here is a nice easy little invention, guaranteed to, bring in thousands. Just a simple and effective means of fastening panes in window frames. Surely It Is a slur on the Inventive genius of the age that wo should still have to resort to putty in this enlightened twentieth century. Then there is the parlor carpet. Have you ever thought what an unsanitary institution that carpet is? However diligent a housewife may be. she ennnot keep it clean. The dut goes through the hber. and whole worlds of microbes are safely intrenched in its soft pile. Now just think out a cheap and sanitary covering for floors, soft and warm to the feet, and you will have no need for an old-age pension. Have you evr s-een a tram driver leaning over with a long crowbar to shift the points at a junction or a man at the corner with a lever for the same purpose? Devise a plan whereby the driver, by implv pressing a foot plate on the car platform, might move the point whichever way he desire and every' tramway company in the country will take up your Invention.

The Troubles of One cf Them Over a Great Discovery. "Caleb, we've got it'" The early morning light was throwing Its feeble rays through the observatory. The two astronomers their shaggy heads together over the table, whereon were spread large groups of figures gazed at each other in solemn awe over the wonderful discovery they had Just made. "Yea." whispered the one who had spoken. "Here It is: there is no error. We have checked off everything. In three months, eight hours, thlrtynlnu minutes nnd twenty seconds nineteen eighteen seventeen sconds from now this comet, the largest one known in the history of the universe, will come into conjunction with our orbit, nnd this little earth, with all Its Inhabitants everything will vanish utterly, In the twinkling of an '- T:. . ... The other astronomer took up uis pencil, his hands trembling with excitement. "That's right" he muttered. "We ! have allowed for everything. There can be no mistake. We have aimed independently at the same conclusion." He smiled triumphantly. "It's a great discovery. Gideon!" he ' exclaimed. "Think of it the greatest discovery known!" j Then he turned and looked at his companion flxedly. "There s only one thing that troubles me." he observed. "And that" "Who's going to give us credit when it all comes true?" New York Life. Plasters and Cuts. Although court plaster is useful In protecting small scratches or abrasions of the skin from harm, it should not be used over any considerable cut or wound in process of healing. These will heal much faster If simply covered with a hit of soft linen held In place at the ends with strljjs of surgeon's plaster. Straw Hats. Head-wear made of utraw was already In ue among the ancient Greeks, but straw hats like those we wear did not come into uso in Europe until half a century ago. Easy Anyhow.

"Those mysterious influences which J decree at certain times that we must do this or that." writes the "Woman of the U or d to i a so cl et PIU , navem 1 lovely woman must be pink, not merely so as regards her complexion, which. of course, can easily be shaded to suit the requ remenus of the moment, but -I n.. .ar. inn. u iu nil wie luuc . -. ..v.. ., . , . , ( .... smile must be of this hue.

The secret is not only to wear pink but to have one's whole environment of the same tone, to use perfume compounded of flowers which have some tone of it in their coloring.

Th newest In regular coat, as they a-e understood, will be without being tight fitting, quite closer to the lluure than those worn during the summer. The form will be more clearly deflned. The plainer coats, buttoned straight down the front or cut away to display a trim, neat vest of a contrasting color will als be favorites. As a rule the new coots will be per fectly straight all around the lower edge. They will be cut away In the front, sometimes displaying the skirt panel. The shoulder line will be a reasonable length, not a bit exaggerated, and the coat sleeves will lie full length. Broadcloth will continue as a favored fabric for dress suits, as the soft, supple weaves will be preferred. A few roush tweeds will be seen, but smoother iweeds and roush-faced unfinished worsteds will lie most popular made Into suits for business and street wear. Braid, both plain and in fancy weaves, will be much used for trimming. Touches of black satin, too. will be in favor. The Etiquette of Jewelry. It takes instinctive good taste to . , , sail LS is1 know- when jew-elry is allowable and In good form. ery often, however women. Knowing penrcuy wen inai ley are vioiaunK uie iuw wi goou taste, persist In the promiscuous wearIng of Jewels at all times of the day. Jewels, excepting rings, should never be worn except when the costume is at least semi-dressy. Necklaces and bracelets are most distinctly out of place with a strictly tailored gown, although rings are allowable. It Is conservative to sny that ornaments should never be worn before 12 o'clock midday, and It is better to avoid them until after Z o'clock in the afternoon. Just as men always wait until after C before wearing evening dress, just a? no one would ever wear a watch with a ball gown, these little laws of fastidious fashion are quite universally obeyed. j As to Length of Skirts. Skirts are longer. For all hut the typical walking suits they nre very long and sweeping, while the street suits have taken on another Inch and just escape the ground. This rule will apply to the wash materials, and wash materials are going to prevail to an extent not known for many seasons. Frocks of this order will be made up In the same semi-tailored style as rules other fabrics at present. If anything, the skirts will be more elaborately trimmed, but always in such u wav as to lose none of that semi-tailored appearance. For this reason frills are tabooed, or when used are flntoned by cross strip and bandlncs. For linen suits, which will hold first place among washable materials, colored trimmings will bo popular. Autumn and Winter Hats. The cxtrome models among the newwinter millinery are so hidden In plumcä, bo ponderously trimmed with

Enormously so; and yet tho hats themselves are a trifle lower In crown than wore the late summer modols. The fact of tho matter Is that the really elegant woman will not take to the extreme In anything, and the large, the very large, high-crownod hat which appeals to tho majority has already been discarded by tiie more discriminating vornan of fashion.

This classic style of hnlr-drcüs-inir has come back into first favor. i The hair Is not smoothly brushed back from the lwrtlnp. We doubt If even in classic days the lines were so severe. It took the trying days of tho civil war to invent such severity. Tho hair Is fluffed out at tho sides, and if one feels that it Is bnrbarlm to roughen tho hair from beneath, which does break Its onds and takes all the luster out of It. then one may rosort to either of theae two methods: Uso small, thin puffs on a string under tho hair over the ears, or a soft roll of malines In the same shade as the hair.
