The inexperienced man is worth but little to a farmer the first year. There is much to learn to do and to be done at the right time. A "Kept Shut" <<ate. A great deal of loss occurs each year from accidents that come fron the leaving open of some gate. It may be one's own or a neighbor's stock that does the damage?it was the fault of the open gateway. Tbe cut shows a *"! Clr-^ass^gs^.^1- ->-**. irs=~ gate that will always stay shut, unless one holds it open. A stout spiral spring pulls the grate to. whichever way it is opened, the spring being attached to the extended upper rail of the gate as shown in the sketch.?Orange Jtfdd Farmer. The Moulting Period. When the fowls begin to moult they .will require about three months in order to produce new feathers, but the time for moulting' may be reduced by feeding oily food, such as sunflower seed, oil cake or linseed meal. First put the hen on a low diet, giving little or no food except lean meat, so as to reduce them in flesh, and then begin with the oily food, which will cause them to drop their featliers rapiuiy. j.o produce feathers (tlie new ones) they should be fed ground lioue, lean meat and also a little sulphur daily, allowing but a small quantity of oily food after the old feathers are thrown off. During the warm season little or no grain should be given. Feathers eon sist largely of the nitrogeneous elements and also contain considerable sulphur, hence the food need not be of a kind that is fattening. The Difference Between Stock. A Kansas farmer says it costs from $35 to $40 a year to feed a cow in Kansas, if well kept. One hundred and fifty pounds of butter at twenty cents will bring $30; calf at six months. $G. (Where is the profit in this kind of stock? A thoroughbred cow could make 300 pounds of butter a year, which will bring, at twenty cents, $G0; calf, $25 to $50. Note the difference. Experienced dairymen declare that it costs no more for the food consumed by a cow that produces 300 pounds of butter per year than for one producing 150 pounds. The two kinds of cows will eat about the same quantity of food, but one will convert more food into milk and butter than the other. This fact demonstrates the importance of the breed. The cost of butter from the better cow is consequently one-half less than that from the other, ahd gives a profit, while other cows in the her* may entail loss. A Field Toolbox. To be continually going back and forth from field to house and from house to field for tools and seeds, some of -which have been forgotten on the first trip, entails much needless labor apon the farmer. An excellent plan Is to have a loftg, commodious box that will hold all the general tools, the seed and the commercial fertilizer, and to take in all necessary articles to the field nnd to keep them there. The box should therefore shod water and should be provided with lock and key. $ If made in the form shown in the cut a horse can be hitched to it, when it v can be drawn to the field without loading it upon a drug or cart. The bottom boards run lengthwise and pro ject in front, turning up to enable the box to pass readily over any inequalities in the ground. Such a device will save many steps and much time that might lie lost in going for articles that by this plan are always right at hand. ?New York Tribune. Higher Prlccd Farm Lands. We are gratified with many evidences of the fulfilment of predictions we made many years ago about improved methods of cultivation* that would ultimately be forced upon farmers by the increased value of farming 'lands that the decreasing public domain and increasing population would, inevitably cause. The increased value has come, and with it are coming the better methods of farming. The effect of this new order will be both gratify ing and profitable. It means a reduction in the size of farms, dividing the large farms of the fathers among the children, because the latter cannot so easily get a farm away from the ancestral acres as before. This means that the old acres, with their several owners, will produce much more than they did under the former regime, because necessity compels it. It also means a denser population to a given area, another great advantage, for it insures more contributions to roadmaking, to school support and all other public enterprises, raising their standard and lessening their per capita cost Concentration of effort and of population "will result in advantages that but few are able to comprehend until realized. The country will probably grow in beauty as well as in utility, for the places that -vvere waste and unsightly when Innd was cheap and population scarce will be drained and grubbed into a condition of fertility that will make them bud and blossom f as the rose. There will be more homes, which will mean more groves, more gardens, more fruit, more of the comforts nnd luxuries of life, and these thiugs add immensely to the fceauty of a country as well ae to the ' ,.. ... ' V--' V i- ; . ' . if happiness of Its people. Higher priced lands are gratifying to their owners, but they mean much more than the dollars involved in the increased value, for they mean enlarging intelligence, better social conditions, better culture of the mind as well as the field, and broader and higher views of life, al) of which work for the building of a better citizenship, the most essential of all productions, especially under a popular form of government.?Farm. Stock and Home. Soillnc and Pasturing. Soiling will be found an excellent substitute for pastures where land is high priced, or too scarce to devote any of it to that purpose. Soiling saves feed and labor. An acre of oats, clover or orchard grass, for instance, will feed as many as twenty cows, two or three days, and an acre of halfgrown corn will feed that number for twice that length of time, and if full grown, much longer. The saving is apparent when we consider that this runiber of cows would use up an acre of pasture in a day. Furthermore, in soiling, all the ground can be made to produce two crops, and some of it three: and. although the pasture will beep on growing, it will not grow so fast as crops on plowed ground. Besides the croppings and tramping of the stock will greatly retard growth. On the other hand when the crop is fed to the stock all the manure can be gathered up and put on the fields as it may be wanted, which of itself Is an important item. There is great economy in soiling in dairy farming on high-priced land, and where there is market for all kinds of produce. Under such circumstances to use land for pasture1 would not only be a direct loss of money, but of opportunity of making it. The market crops, beginning with green peas, for instance, and followed with green beans, sweet corn, rat-Ions, cabbage, etc.. furnishes sufficient waste per acre to feed at least two cows, and a few acres of clover. orchard grass, rye, oats, beets and other roots will feed a great many more. Thus the profits from this source tfould be considerable, and would necessitate but little additional expenditure of time or money. The crops for summer soiling usu ally begin with -winter rye, wnicn comes first, and can be cut in May. It is an excellent change from dry to green food. Clover and other grasses follow in close succession; then early rown corn, oats, peas and other crops. Corn, however, may be sown every two or three weeks until August. In summer sheds with stalls to feed in are preferable, but in winter the stock should be sheltered and fed in stables or barns, provided with Btalls, and here cleanliness and good ventilation should be secured and the stock supplied with pure water. In changing from green food to dry care should be taken that the change be not too sudden, especially with milch cows. As the green feed becomes insufficient cut up some early cured hay or clover and mix with a little Dran or mm ieea. This will serve to keep up not only the quantity but the quality of the milk and butter. ? Agricultural Epitomist. The Coet of Quality. Quality is always an important factor in disposing of farm products, but iu many cases its cost to the farmer is practically nothing. In the matter of butter making it costs absolutely no hiore to make a high grade quality than inferior butter. Even the cost of extra 'labor in keeping things clean and sweet about the dairy cannot be counted, for it really does not take more work to keop things clean than to let them go dirty. It is merely a question of method and system. If one adopts a system in handling everything about the dairy he will find that time and labor are actually saved, while the results are more than douTlie slovenlv man or woman only adds to his or her labors. It is carelessness that produces accidents and misfortunes. Quality is worth a good deal in the market. Whether It is butter, fruits or vegetables or animals that one is selling, the determining factor is the quality of the poods. The extra payment received for pood quality most generally represents the difference between profit and loss. The farmers who find that no branch of farming pays are usually those who pay little regard io the quality of their goods. In some lines of work on the farm quality does cost. It may in some eases cost more to raise fine fruits than poor ones. To begin with, fine seeds or trees usually sell for a trifle more than ordinary ones. This initial cost is further added to by the extra labor of cultivation, spraying, packing and marketing. It is hardly true to say that it costs as much to raise inferior fruits, which will take care of themselves, as it does to produce fancy grades, mere is always extra cultivation. which must be paid for in labor or money, ami ex Ira care in protecting the fruits from insects ant} blights. Eut the difference is not so great us it may seem to some. This is due to organization and system. If onj or-< ders his work after some good plan which will save time and worry, the difference will hardly be noticed.' Sometimes the difference is summed up in the working capacity of the individuals. One prefers to idle most of the time and let things on the farm drift. Another seems born for work, and finds h's greatest enjoyment in cultivating and improving his crops. ii we are iiui w ikiii^ w K?ve uur luue and labor to the cultivation of the crops in the host possible manner we have no business calling ourselves; farmers. We are on Hie farm to plant; cultivate and harvest. All this takes labor, brains and constant strivings. The man who is not willing to pay the price must fail. The secret ox' good farming is quality, and that can be obtained only by careful planning and intelligent work.?W. E. Edwards, in American Cultivator.

The waist that 1 closes at the back remains In favor, and is promised extended vogue. The : very charming May Manton model < FANCY "WAIST. shown has the merit of being simple of construction, at the same time that ] It is sufficiently elaborate in effect to je appropriate for afternoon and infor- ] mnl eveninsr wear. The original is of ; louisine silk, "with cream guipure lace, and is made over the fitted lining, but all waist and gown materials are suitable, silk, wool and cotton, anc! the 1 lining can be omitted whenever desir able. Silks and wools are better and < more serviceable made over the foun- 1 iation, but washable fabrics are pref- < arable unlined. 1 The fitted foundation is snug and smooth and closes at the back together with the waist The fronts proper are tucked to yoke depth and gathered at the waist line, but the backs are plain ' across thor- shoulders and show only > slight fulness at the belt. The lace is 1 applied over the material on Indicated 1 lines, the scalloped edge making an 1 admirable effect over the plain waist. oi.a in hlchnn cfvlp with J. lie DlCC*CO ULi. m .. pointed cuffs, and the neck Is finished with a plain stock, to which are attached turn-over portions of laee. > I tJ' MISSES' SAIL VTo cut this waist for a uoman of medium size three and a half yards of material twenty-one iuchcs wide, three yards twenty-seven inches wide, two and a half yards thirty-two inches wide or two and an eighth yards fortyfour inches wide will be required, with one and a half yards of lace seven and a half inches wide, and three-eighth yards of narrow edging to trim as illustrated. Blisses' bailor Shirt "Waist. The shirt waist with sailor collar, and shield of contrasting color Is, and will be, a favorite for young girls both for school and afternoon wear. For the school the materials chosen are cheviot, linen, madras, flannel, cashmere and the like, for the more fancy waists silk of simple sorts, embroidered and plain cashmere in light colors. The May Manton model shown In the large drawing is suited to both i:ses and all the fabrics mentioned, but in the original is of moire louisine silk, showing lines and dots of blue on white, with trimming of blue vel-1 " - - - -? i.!_ I vet riooon. ana suieiu, ue uuu i-uus wnite silk banded with blue. The foundation is a fitted lining, on which the waist proper is arranged that is eminently desirable when silk and wool fabrics are used, but which can be omitted when washable materials are selected. The lining closes at the centre front, and fits 6nugly to the figure, but the waist proper is drawn down in gathers at the waist line and blouses slightly at the front. The shield is attached to the lining, when It is used, to the waist, beneath the collar, wheu the waist is unlined, and Is attached permanently at the right side, hooked into place at the left. The sailor collar is seamed to the neck of the blouse and the tie ends are attached beneath its points. The sleeves are in bishop style with narrow point ed cuffs. To cut this waist for a girl of fourteen years of age three and a half yards of material twenty-one Inches wide, two and a half yards twenty5 seven Inches wide, two and a quarter yards thirty-two Inches wide or one and three-eighth yards forty-four inchcs wide will be required, with three-quarter yard for shield, stock collar, tie and cliffs, and one piece of velvet ribbon to trim as Illustrated. A Bolero With Wide Flowing Sleeves. The up-to-date bolero is furnished with sleeves, and these are quite wide and generally flowing. Lace is the proper medium In which to carry out \ , this stylish model. Any thick material would be inappropriate. There is a hard and fast line for the termination of lace bolero sleeves. They finish exactly half way between elbow and wrist. The same model can be executed l#fine batiste. The all-over em broidered batiste is as costly as piece lace for a blouse or bolero, btill it Is used, as is the plain batiste, because it is so beautiful and so well adapted to the purpose. i Trimming With Cretonne Applique. A novel style of trimmings very much in vogue is applique cretonne. The design is simply outlined by a chain stitch, and many are the artistic variations to be attained thereby. On a -white silk ground a rose pattern in soft shaded tints may be outlined in self-colored silks. Or a very pleasing effect is created by a fine gold v.rd defining the pattern. The Pearl Necklace. The collarless gown brings the pearl necklace into vogue to such an extent that the supply of real pearls cannot meet the demand. But it is xne price and not the small supply which is the usual obstacle to obtaining such a oecklace. So the imitation pearls have come into the breach in greater perfection and beauty than ever before. " \ Return to Black Lingerie.

The tendency of the latest skirts Is to extreme snugness at the upper and pronounced flare at the lower portion. ,0R WAIST. No style contributes to that end eo perfectly as the habit back and the circular flounce, and the two combined make a marked feature of advance models. The May Manton model shown is admirable in every way. Being cut in five gor^s it 6uits the great majority of figures and allows for remodeling the skirts of last season when so doing is desirable. The original is made of novelty material, in shades of brown and tan, with trimmi-jg of narrow brown braid over li?,".t tan, and includes the graceful and becoming flounce; but this last can be omitted and the skirt used plain; or, again, the material can be cut away beneath and the flounces seamed to tne lower eage. The five gores are carefully shaped and fitted -without fulness at the belt and provide just the snugness required by fashion. The flounce falls in soft undulating folds and widens as It approaches the back, forming admirable lines. The placket can be at the centre back or left front seam as desired, but in either case should be provided with an ample underlap and an abundant supply of hooks and loops, that there may be no danger of gaping. To cut this skirt for a woman of medium size thirteen yards of material twenty-one inches wide, ten and one-half yards twenty-seven inches wide, eight and seven-eighth yards thirty-two inches wide, seveD and a quarter yards forty-four inches wide or six and three-quarter yards fifty inches wide will be required when flounce is used: nine yards twenty one Inches wide, seven yards twentyFIVE-GOHED SKIRT. seven Inches wide, six nnd a halt yards thirty-two iuches wide, Ave and a half yards forty-four inches wide or i five yards fifty Inches wide when j flounce Is omitted. 1 ArtiOctal Indigo. So much progress has been made in the production of indigo by chemical processes that the producers of the natural article are threatened with serious competition. The East Indian cultivators are urged to call in the aid of science to improve their methods before the artificial 'can have a chance to drive them out of the market. The natural indigo, however, has one advantage over the artificial -it contains certain, substances that facilitate the operation of dyeing and that are not found in fhe artificial.

Now that the coronatidh is a current topic of conversation, it may be noted that the court officers who will be intrusted with the conduct of the pageant will doubtless have no need to resort to an expedient to preserve order which was deemed necessary when the king's great uncle, George IV., was crowned in 1821. It was then feared that the numerous sympathizers with Queen Caroline would create a disturbance at the door of Westminster Abbey. So a noted pugilist of the day, "Gentleman Jackson,"who taught Lord .Byron ooxing, was instructed to hire some twenty well-known bruisers.
