Bhe women of my.co untry are the worst dressed women in the world. The same thing has been said often, but I never quite believed it until T began traveling amopng the well dressed women in other lands.” - When 1 pressed her for more of an explanation she continued: “It is not that English women have not as good and expensive gowns as the women of other countries, but they do not know how to wear them becomingly. English women are not given to the same charming perscnality that is so characteristic of-both American and French women. They insist on wearing the —_— stylish modes of the season, mno : matter what they may look like in Lg oy them, while here in America the \gq '\% ‘} " ™ woman of fashion pays much less at- =.* RN RIS : W tention to the modes but. pays &QJ%Q i : 1"i W much more attention to what is be- [% \\’é\ S nhh WY coming to her.

Now in England the women are not only careless in this, but one will see in many cases stones of several colors worn with the same costume at the same time. This may seem to be a small item, but it'is an important one in results. ) “Then, too, English women pay too much attention to who makes their cgowns, and not enough to the appropriateness of them. So long as they have the name of a fashiopable house stamped in them they imagine they must be fashionable and that the wearers must be well dressed. There is, for

Her taste seems to run to large flowered designs for these morning gowns, which is the last thing in the worid which she should wear, and then, too, her combinations are simply horrible. I saw her one morning at a country house party when she was wearing a salt and pepper gray cloth in which were large flowered designs, and then over that she would wear a silk coat appliqued with black guipure and ornament. Certainly a striking, but wholly inartistie, combination.” But all this isn’t New York fashions in the least, even though it is complimentary to American women, and is a long o . ways from what I started to tell you ’Mf'q'v,‘,";” of, which was lingerie, e j‘ = W n Dur negligee = garments must be a careful study, . and every woman must be thought- Y ful at the present moment of her . \3 XN corset cover and petticoat because : /= ‘ 9’\’; of her bodice or skirt showing the ‘ \\ |\{ slightest wrinkles of either of these . \ \\\" 3 garments, White negligee : : \ garments are always stylish and ? - : up-to-date.

The chemise, corset cover, drawers and short under petticoat are made in suits to match. The very swell suits have the initials of the owner embroidered in a color of the sprig or dot that is on the trimming. This is an attractive little idea, but there are some that will wear only the white that is handsomely embroidered in French embroidery. This work when for fashionable and wealthy women is mostly done in the convents, and there are sometimes many hours spent on one garment. : To finish these negligee garments there aré many a chic little bow of del--icate blue, pink or lavender ribbon on the shoulder, the cuff and at the low pom‘padour ‘square neck, or the rounded neck, and with the ribbon running through the beading of embroidery. = — There is a new feature in the short yoke robes, where the yoke is entirely covered with long pointed shoulder capes or a square collar' with.a V-cut front or high neck.

THE RATTLEBOX WEED.

Its Poisonous Constituent Is- Unknown, But Resides Both in Its Leaves and Seed.

The Latin name of this weed is Crotalaria sagittalis. It is popularly known as rattleweed and wild pea. A government bulletin has this to say of it: It is a hairy annual three to eighteén inches high, with simple undivided leaves one to two inches long and small yellow pea-like flowers appearing in July. The seed pods are about an inch long when mature and are nearly black. They are much inflated, and, as the walls are stiff and thin and very resonant, they make excellent miniature rattles when the seeds have become detached from their fastenings inside the pod. The rattle-

A, Whole Plant; B, Section of Seed Pod— Both One-Third Natural Size. box is native in low sandy soils from the Atlantic westward to Minnesota and eastern Kansas. It is also found in New Mexico. It is ecommon in Connecticut, New Jersey -and North Carolina, and in some years is very abundant in bottom lands along the valley of the Missouri, in South Dakota and Towa. =o, ‘ The poisonous constituent is wunknown, but it resides both in' the leaves and in the seeds. Horses, and sometimes cattle, are killed by eating grass mixed with the plant. They are not poisoned so often by eating the plant in the fields. Public attention was first called to the poisonous nature of the rattlebox by Dr. Stalker, of lowa, who, in 1884, while investigating the cause among horses in lowa, was led to believe that it was mostly, if not altogether, attributable to this plant. Exporiments were made that proved the supposition to be correct. The percentage of rattlebox in meadow hay will be much reduced if the fields are burned over when the seeds mature the preceding summer. The growth of perennial grasses will not be materially affected thereby. -

THE BEST PAYS BEST.

Farmer Who Grows Something Better Than Can Be Found in the Market Makes Money.

The great difficulty in making farms pay is that most farm c¢rops cannot be assorted into good, better and best. They must be sold at so nearly a uniform price that there is no money in it. In stock growing and in fruit growing such wide differences in value can be made that it is possible to charge the very rich, who always want the best, whatever the best is worth more, and if it be not too easily produced, than this. So long as a man grows only for the universal market, he must sell at prices which even the poorest can pay. But lethim grow something better than can be found in the market, and he can get enough higher prices to pay him double for all his extra trouble. This is the secret of getting rich in all kinds of business. Money is to be got from those who have it, and not from those who have it not. Does this forget the poor? Not at all. The struggle to improve quality is always changing its ground. The best of one year is thus placed within the reach of all a few years later, and another best has taken its place. Barring accidents from untimely frosts, it is the best fruit that pays the most profit and that can be grown most cheaply if the average of years is considered. The labor of spraying with insecticides and with fungicides to make. the fruit fair, and the further labor of thinning it, produces so much more fruit every year that it can be sold with profit at rates within the reach of all. The very rich will still get the best and pay for it, but the poorest will get more and better fruit than they ever beforeenjoyed.—Massachusetts Ploughman. :

DAIRY AND STOCK.

A successful trainer (not breaker) of horses must be a well-balanced man in self-control.

Twenty-five of the large brgeds of mution sheep are enough for a flock. More than this number together do not usually do well. Merinos can be kept in larger flocks.

The oxen and steers.ars often neglected at this season of the year. But it is an unwise policy to let them get poor in some bushy lot unthought of, just because they are not in use.

’ When the pastures begin to fail it “will be necessary to give the cows some extra feed. It will always be cheapest to supply with an extra ration of green feed. Sweet corn, peas, oats, ete., are ~all very good, but sweet corn will, as a rule, give best satisfaction. - Never buy an animal of any kind until you know how to take care of it. It is altogether too common for people to purchase animals of whose care they know nothing; the animal suffers from ill treatment and dies, and the new mas“ter blames the person from whom it was purchased, and then begins to inquire as to the care it should have received.— ¥arm Journal, T o

BEAVY CORN FEEDING.

Turnips, Pumpkins and Damp Mill - Feed Should Be Given in Connection with It.,

There is no economy in stinting the ration given to growing and fattening pigs. The aim should always be to induce as heavy feeding as possible. Always much care should be given to secure perfect digestion, as heavy feeding sometimes causes trouble with the digestive organs. After green corn commences there is always a desire to hurry the pigs to market, and corn is fed to the utmost limit. =

It must be remembered that the modern, quiekly-developed pig is a soft creature as compared with his ancestors of 60 years ago, that the four to six months’ old pig will not corn and digest it like the yearling or 18-months-old hogs of the past. Something must be done to keep up the appetite of this young thing. A range over a grass sward will give exercise, if it is clover sod that they run over they will get much to keep their systems in tone. ¢

. Heavy feeding by some may be thought to consist in having corn always by them. 7This is not ‘correct, as they will consume more if fed at stated intervals and only fed enough to keep their appetites sharp. When once started to fattén the feeding should be heavy to the finish, as a limited feeding is always attended with loss.

1t will be found an advantage to give variety in feeding. While corn is the main ration, a good grass ration is a help—or an . occasional feed of pumpkins. Turnips they learn to eat in time as other succulent foods fail them. Mangels they take to at once, and while they may not add much weight they help the appetite. A ration of mill feed is always acceptable if fed damp and in proper quantity.

We do not regard these things as a cut-off on the amount of corn fed, but rather as an aid to heavy corn feeding, and also an aid in prolonging the time corn may be fed without the hogs stalling on it and getting entirely off feed. —John M. Jamison, in American Cultivator. . .

HORSES IN GERMANY.

Hamburg Paper Deplores the Faet That American Animals Are in Growing Demand.

Exports of horses to Germany continue to attract attention both at home and abroad. Regarding American horses in German, the Hamburger Nachrichten, in a recent article, says: “Importations from American have caused the horse-raisers of Holstein to suffer much of late. A stock company has just been formed in Berlin for the express purpose of importing horses from the United States. The Americans have succeeded in breeding a horse which compares very favorably in every way with the Holstein animal, especially in those points so highly prized in a work horse, namely, broad hips and large build generally. 'The best markets for Holstein horses have always been the provinces of Saxony, Thuringia and Brunswick. The demand is created by the large sugar factories. * This market has been decreasing of late, owing to American horses being purchased in Berlin. A few days ago this Berlin company shipped a drove of 80 through Hamburg en route for Milan, Italy, where they are to be used on the tramways. Almost every week a long freight train filled with American horses leave the Berliner Bahnhof for various parts of Germany. In spite of expensive freight and a tariff of seven .dollars per head, the Americans have built up a very respectable competition in the German marlket.”

EXCELLENT PIG TROUGH.

Fred O. Sibley Describes One That Is Very Convenient, Durable and Easy to Make.

The illustration shows a kind of trough for feeding pigs which is very convenient, durable and easy to make. The end boards are long enough so that the pigs cannot turn the affair over, and owing to the upright board running

e s — ~ TROUGH FOR FEEDING PIGS. lengthwise of the trough and dividing it into two parts, they are also prevented from getting into it and fouling their food. Strips four inches wide are nailed to the edges of the trough at requisite distances, separating the trough into proper space for each pig, and thus prevents crowding. In order to avoid fighting among the animals, there should always be more spaces provided than there are pigs to feed.—Fred O. Sibley, in Ohio Farmer. 2

Cheap Shelters for Sheep.

One of the advantages in keeping sheep is that they do not need an expensive building as a shelter. A shed open on one side suits them as well as a tight Z‘frn, and even better, as they require ¢onsiderable ventilation. But it should be so arranged that both rain and snow can be kept out of it, for the sheep should not get their fleece wet in cold weather. It takes too long to get it dry again, and the whole body gets chilled, reducing vitality, even if they do not take colds to set them coughing and running at the nose. Nor should water be allowed to run into the shed from outside. A sheep will not lie down in the mud or on wet straw. Keep the inside of the shed dry and well littered with clean straw and the sheep will be healthy and thrive well, even on. moderate feed.—American Cultivator.

From Potatoes to Rye.

The land that was devoted to potatoes this year should be seeded to rye, limed in the spring and corn grown on the same land next year. Such a plan gives the land two weedings and cleans it thoroughly. It is alsoan advantage not to grow potatoes on the same land oftener than one year in four as a precaution against disease. Rye should cover all land that is plowed in the fall, as it prevents loss of fertility, and when turned under in spring it will add fertilizing material to the soil, the'lime being used to meutralize any acidity that may exists, Sl

A man who called on her the other day was admiring the dog and asked her mistress how she, with all her humane theories, could have allowed the cruel dog fancier to cut off Snap’s tail and ears to the fashionable degree of brevity. The dame drew herself up and replied, with some hauteur:
