This is invariably conceded to he possilile. "The best dairynif n are beginning to take more care of their heifer calves to me that they are not fattened during 'development. It believed that a calf should be kept in a good thrifty growing condition, but anything of a fattening order rhould he avoided as the tendency of fattening a growing call" Is to increase its tendencies to lay on liesli instead of produce butter.

Hint* on feinting. This is the season for repairing old fences or building new ones. In this connection it Is well to remember that \ an unnecessary fence is an unmixed evil. f.et any one try the simple ex periment of plowing a square acre and then an acre IfiO rorls long l>v one rod wide and note f'ne difference In time required. Our experiments show that more thnn onelhird of the time of the plowman is taken up in turning the corners on the seuare acre while there Is scarcely any appreciable loss when the shape of the field Is long and narrow.

Sometimes necessity is the mother l id Invention and sometimes it is back ! ache or "lameness of the knees." as In the instance I)?fore us where a transplanting implement was devised, it is W. H. J., in Viclc's Magazine, who tells of his invention as follows: To show more clearly what the Implement does I will describe my former way of setting cel ry plants. To get the plants all out in good time we were obliged to work when the , ground was dry, and nil day. often in the hot sunshine. Our method was to draw a line over the row where the plants were to be set, draw a marker by the side of the line to mar.; the ground for the plants, then water the ! row with a watering pot. and then 1 make the holes for the planus with : dibbers. The implement which 1 now ' have does all this, and two rows at the same time, as fast as a man can walk. My first effort to devise something that would help in doing this work was to make what was very much like a wheelbarrow with pegs around the out ;?to (?? ??>' ...? make the hole3 as the wheel turned. This, with inaraer to gauge iin> rows, would, when run over the ground. mark the rows for the plants and make for Jhnm My noxt improvement wan to pine" a ' bucket of water on the harrow behind the wheel and attach a hose to it that, would lead a email stream of watei to the ground and over the line of holes which the wheel had made. This did the work very well, but not i bo rapidly as the machine which i now use. This is much iike a two wheeled eart. but p gs two inches long and sharpened close to the end are placed, for celery plants, six Inches apart around the outside of the wheels. The wheels are mad" of wood, they are two feet in diameter and have a rim three I inches wide, so as not to depress the | soil too mueli. The axle is two and , one-half f< t long, and a wooden ! water tank holding about 20 gallons j is placed on the axle. Handles are at- ; inched both in front and hack, for j drawing and pu diing. for unless the ! ground is level two persons are to ede.l ) to handle it easily. Two small roll'is' are made to run out in front of the ' wheels to belt r balance the cart, but i tae lank is so placed that there is but J little weight on them. \ piece of hose | is ntta< hod to each side of rear of tank [ to lead the water info email cups with j si' ve-llko bottoms, s o placed to as run directly ever the line of 1ml s which the wheels make and water them, so they are ready for the plants. A line is drawn for the lirst row and Ihe other rows are marked by a marker, similar to those attached to garden seed drills which gauges the rows. in Kutnint; Onion*. The ideal soil for an onion bed is a ' deep, rich loam, with swilicient sand in its composition to lie. felt by the hand rather than detected by the eye. Such land und. i* proper treatment ripens ?u>v?u a nam siyio or onions, if the seed was raised from good stock, and one having that bright, straw color which makes thorn so attrac tive to the eye. As is the case with all crops which require much hoc and hand work, the freer the land is from stones the better: all that show themselves on the surface the size of u hen's egg should ho removed if possible before planting. Hand weeding is the great Item of , cost in onion raising, for which reason very weedy laud should be avoided ?ih ; far as possible, and slide hooa urcd 1 which cut the closest to the growing . crop. The first hand weeding is generally put off too late, until the weeds can be scon in some plenitude, whereas it should begin just as soon as the onions have fairly broken ground, when the slightest rubbing of the surface will destroy the young weeds. I The better the quality of the seed and the higher the manuring the more : uniformly the. bulbs ripen down. When | they are hard around the stein the crop [ is dry enough to be housed. If left out longer the outer skiu is apt to , crack, beginning at the ~oot, and expose a tender surface. Afier pull ing. it. is well to turn carefully with | wooden tooth rakes every other day for the first week. The crop should br stored in an airy plao, not over 2 1-2 ; to feet deep it is cheaper to top ( them on the bed. but not always convenient to do so. The tliroe dreads of the onion grow I it uro vne margri, the whit" blight and t'i* smut. Tho (wo !atte/ arc fungous diseases. The smut, us tln> black. I smut-like discoloring of tho leaves in tailed, usually appears, if at all, in spots here and there about the bed All such onions should be promt tly and carefully removed and destroyed by burning or deep burying. The white ) blight is a much dreaded visitant, oftentimes within a few days of its first appearance sweeping over the entire bed. The onions stop growing and remain with stiff necks, a large proportion of them ultimately worthless. I Any cure for this 1 consider to he but I theoretical nonsense, hut prevention is another matter. My experience has led me to believe that all plant diseases are. as a rule, caused by i'l health, and. just as with human beings, tie lest protection co'nes through .1 Vigorous, healthy life. It l? ?> <? ble. sickly plants that the blight makes food of. i have noticed that when onion blight is prevalent, those beds that have been most liberally fed with potash nrc most likely to Ih? exempt from its ravages. Where the white blight prevails, it Is wise to have an interval of at least three years intervene before replanting to onions. Meanwhile be very careful not to use the Implements on land that is free from blight, as all varieties of fnngi are very easily transplanted.?J. J. H. Gregory, in American Agriculturist Last year the market department In Doston condemned as unfit for food a much smallor quantity than in previoos years. \ * ' \iv* * . -^benefit^ 'i In* N'tiiil > <> ?.

Lady Beatrice Butler was of this opinion, and she preferred Ivorv-white satin, trimmed with chiffon. Brussels laee, and a garniture of whit.' violets. Her veil was also of lace, but she carried no bouquet. The French "niarlee" is invariably simply dressed, however, high her rank in society may be. Mme. Dosoh.anel, the beautiful young; wife of the president cf the French chamber, was married recently in a plain dress of white satin, with an tminci.se train, it had no trimming but oranpe blossoms.
