THURSDAY. DECEMBER 5TH.1895.‘ Velvet Jackets Trimmed With Jetâ€"Fur and Dotted Meta. The tendency toward trimmed skirts is becoming more and more pronounced. Sometimes the trimming is only a double told at the sides; sometimes it is panels; sometimes lengthwise applications of pas- sementerie or embroidery. Double rows of buttons are often placed down the side. or soarfs of sllk or ribbon are fastened in at w... v- uâ€"._ __ _, , zhe belt with loope; rosettes and large bows set on at intervals. Occasionally the ontire front is wrought in embroidery or is made of crimped material or some sort of contrasting fabric, either figured or plain and comes in various colors. Cloth of all kinds, fur and heavy trim- mings are fashionable. Fur appears eVery- where and to great advantage. Gowns, capes, coats and hats are trimmed with it and no doubt the manufacturers of the cheap imitation varieties will reap a large harvest, since many women think they are keeping éloser to the fashion by wearing sham fur, if they cannot afl'ord the real, than by avoiding it altogether. 1 , 3 Tight fitting velvet jackets. powdered with a jet design over the shoulders and on the tops of the sleeves, are among the new things recently seen at a. fashionable establishment, while pretty melt-on clot-h capes reaching to below the Waist and hav- ing a very high flaring collar are strapped one .- 'vâ€"J "'0" i, in narrow and grgdually approaching lines. running up‘ from the edge of the cape to theicollar and again widening out ~ D .;-_._.....1 wyv Irv v-- v--- upon the latter.

The collar is a. full ruching of silk, plaited double, or with the outside of the cape goods and the lining of silk. An illustration is given of a. 'jaoket of iron gray cloth. It has 25 ripple basque and opens diagonally. A pelerine covers the shoulders and forms revers, which, like the jacket itself, are adorned with black silk galloon straps terminating in jet beads.

No early pullet will pay for herself until she is at least 18 months old, as she must return the cost from the time 4 she was hatched until the time she be- gins laying, a tribute which the hen has already paid. To insure a profit, even though a small one, keep no nonluyers. ‘ Better feed one hen which produces eggs ‘ than keep a dozen and get nothing. Sheep Bloating on Rape Pasture. In feeding lambs on rape, before a1. lowing them to have access to it, we feed a ration of grain, and also permit the lambs to graze on good fresh pastur- age for two or three hours. Then they are watched very carefully, and any tendency to overeating or gorging is checked by the prompt removal of the lambs. In a couple. of days, by careful- lness, all danger is removed. To pre- vent the possibility of bloating we vv-v _-' use hurdles. The lambs are limit- ed to a definite amount, being sure that there is too little rather than too much, and for a few days the hurdles are shifted as required. We have found this plan gives very satisfactory results in pasturing clover. The lambs eat the forage cleaner, and there is less danger. The hurdles are very useful for tem- porary fencing as well as for lamb feed- mg. -. ‘ ,,A 1- 3A “1“. ’_G' In reference to older sheep, I do not think it advisable to :Atempt to pasture them on rape. The r1 .:ults from cutting the rape are so much better that it is worth the while to take the trouble. Sheep will bloat easier, as a. rule, than lambs, and in a flock there are invari- ably a few chronic bloaters that will be so troubled no matter how slight the cause. For breeding ewes and rams I should advise cutting the rape and feed- ing it. A :1. ‘_J. Aka“!- In cutting the rape have it out about four inches from the ground. When this is done, it will soon send out a new growth in ordinary seasons and may be cut a second and a third time if it has been sown early. Last year our rape was sown June 18. The first cutting, as described, was made Aug. 29, the second cutting Sept. 29, and on Nov. 8 the third cutting was made close to the ground. The piece treated in this way yielded at the rate of 36 tons per acre. , This year the first sowing of rape was made on May 31 ; but, owing to the un- usual drought, the seed lay dormant in the ground for about five weeks, and the crop could not be cut the first time un- til Aug. 8, and now it is about ready to i be cut again. As soon as the first cut- ting was made the rape was cultivated, and it began to grow at once. There is advantage in having the rape sown in drillsâ€"Exchange.
