Apple Pomace.
'Apple pomace, placed in a sil
corn ensilage, is said to be easil]
in good condition, and may b
to cattle in connwtion with other
to advantage. Ten pounds of the
pomace is considered sufficient
cow one day, as an addition t
usual ration, and they relish it
highly. The silo also affords a m
of saving apple pomace which
wise would be wasted.

this year on Woodland Farm, how
much corn, hay and silage, and what
gain they made.
j first We do not know. A few years ago
price we kept quite an accurate account of
tvhere what the lambs ate, for then it was
siness essential that we should, for we were
as a treading on uncertain ground. Of late ;
, well we have not kept so accurate an acidver
count of things. Here, roughly, is
aying what we have done. The lambs were
Iways bought in November on the Chicago
ccord- market. There were two lots; one
tering weighed forty-seven anil a half and
Imira- the other fiftj*-four pounds on the avknow
erage. We put them on feed as usual
i im- in the sheds, giving alfalfa hay alone
of a for some days, then alfalfa hay with
polled a little corn silage added. The corn
man silage was made from well ripened
ough, corn, so that it had on it a good deal
liable of grain and was not much acid. The
little corn silage and alfalfa hay formed the
lat is main ration until about Christmas,
when they were carefully introduced
to ear corn. We never shell corn for
lambs, but break the cars into short
plieel- iengths right at first.
?(1 as About January 1 the 1000 lambs were

eased Soiling is that system of feeding
your eattle in which the animals are deprived
of pasturage and kept in small
when jnclosures, food of every kind being
brought to them. It especially applies
pure tije system of cutting and bringing
jt let cattle roughage in a green state,
sh It. rpfjg process began in Europe, and had
occur a very catnral development. First the
Rn<* cattle were tethered and allowed to
^uar" pasture within a certain circle indicated
by the rope that held them. As
stock devoured tie green herbage grow-1
using }ng -within this circle, the herdsman cut
and brought to them grass and other
* . food plants from fields in which the
chmg cattie would not be allowed to go. The
l* Europeans early conceived the idea
^ that on the recently tilled soils produca
ing grass, and a heavy growth of it,
a the tramping of the cattle would comrel
ywnf lha CAII on/1 mnl-A

by causing the soil particles to pack
so closely together that no air could
bo admitted. The land had by that
? tlie time become so valuable and the holdeems
jngs farmers so smail that they
lifter- conI(j not aff0rd to lose the use of a sinu^on
gle foot of it. The European herdsman1
erflhl in tbe ^est Portions of Europe
e . learned from experience that he could
fairly rajse more grass on a piece of land
p. 'by keeping it in meadow than by al 1
. lowing it to be used as pasture. This
>se in was jn ^ue to fact jje
would not cut his grass until it was
soon at a ^vhere it would produce the
? " best weight per acre. The roots of
xceP* such grass struck deeply and drew
S- nourishment from a thicker layer of
?? i ! soil tlian tlje pasture grasses that were
,ar J kept fed close to the ground. It will
-for; thus be seen that the soiling system
has developed as a natural result of
? the increased value of land.
ngx.?- The practice is old in Eurone. but it
is new in the United States,/especially
^ f e ill the West. Only on our most in,.
tensively cultivated farms is it being
f ' used to-day. Generally it is introduced

New York City.?Nothing that fashion
has to offer Is more generally liked
than the blouse Eton or more generally
becoming. This season it is being
6bown in even unprecedented beanty
and design, but is essentially the same
altogether satisfactory little garment,
which is so pronounced r favorite.
This one is quite novel and includes a
vest and revers, which allow of various
jombinations. In the case of the mode]
Tucked Princes:
the material for the coat itself is
coral red broadcloth, the revers, helt
and <juffs are of velvet and the trimming
is a heavy lace applique, while
the little waistc6at and the buttons are
of carved gilt. There are, however, a
great many suitings which can be utilized,
anything that is sufficiently light
in weight to be tucked with success being
appropriate. Chiffon velvet and
chiffon velveteen are exceeding fashionable,
and the many cloths and novelties
are suitable.
The coat Is made with fronts and
back and is tucked after a most becoming
manner. The lining is smooth
and is faced at the front edges to form
the vest, while the revers are separate
and joined to the coat. At the neck is
5i nnito nnvpl collar which is nartod at
the back, and the sleeves allow a choice
of three-quarter or full fength.
The quantity of material required for
the medium size is four yards twentyone.
two yards forty-four or one and a
half yards fifty-two inches wide, with
five-eighth yards any width for the
vest, one yard of velvet for rovers, collar
and cuffs and three yards of silk for
lining.
Done In Brown.'
Very effective is a brown broadcloth
redingote suit, the coat of which
reaches to within four inches of the
edge of the walking skirt. The skirt is
lined throughout with white taffeta,
and it buttons up (single breasted) with
a dozen velvet buttons trimmed with
silver, in the dark antique effect. It is
open up the back of the skirts nearly
to the waist line, and is fitted with
three tabs and thre^ buttons by which
it may be fastened together. It has
hip pockets, this jaunty garment, and
stitched velvet facings finish the collar
and cuffs. An inlaying of white broadcloth
further adorns the collar. The
seams of this garment, which at the
front replace the darts, are carried
straight up to the shoulders, and the
corresponding seams in the back of
course join them exactly. This suit is
altogether smart and tailory in effect.
Marabon.
Fluffy, filmy, dainty, becoming, and
less expensive than ostrich is the marabou,
that softest and most exquisite
part of the adjutant's plumage, for tbc
marabou is the African variety of thf
adjutant. Almost invariably it is madf
up into strands, four or five of thpin
forming a boa or stole, and six or more
a muff. The ends* are left to sway ill

, tall effect. There are softly becoming
pelerines, too, and other smaller necl
pieces. Any and all are to be had ii
most colors, and some of the lates
are shaded, the tints growing llghte
towards the ends.
Gold Cuffs.
Both collar and cuffs are noted li

however, since a yet paler blue soi
