Paint on the houses goes with prosperity. Tumbledown and wea- ther-beaten buildings are a pretty sure indication that things are not going as they should. It is good policy even in coun- try markets fur those who have eggs of different shades of color to Veep each sort by itself. They may not bring any more in every ease, but they look better and are more acceptable to hath dealers and consumers and in the cud it will be found to pay. It is fortunate for many farmers that the house -well sometimes goes dry, because it Rices nn opportun- ity for cleaning it. If it has not been cleared for two or three years, pump it dry and go at it. Anyone v ill be surprised to see how much sediment a well accumulates even when its top is carefully guarded. Bad water is the cause of much sickness in the family. Superphosphate of lime contains a large proportion of sulphate of lirne or gypsum, in this way the phosphate of lune is mixed with sulphuric acid; the acid takes two- thirds of the lima from the phos- phate, leaving what is known as one lime phosphate, or superphos- phate, that is, there is three tines ftp; much phosphoric acid in pro- portion to the lane in the super- phosphate as in the phosphate. These two proportions of lime com- bine with the sulphuric acid, mak- ing sulphate of lime, or gypsum. But some of the sulphuric acid re- mains free in the mixture and this is hurtful to the young plants. LIVE STOCK NOTES. An important point in the poultry business is a good house. No mat- ter what kind of a house, whether it s tnodern or not, just so it is light, dry and wind -proof. Cows cal\ inu in the spring give more milk for three months after calving than those calving in the fall. This situation is reversed from the seventh to ninth months. Fall cows show manor variations in milk flow than cows calving in the spring.

CLEVER KWON Fr. Noticeable Feature at unique Ex•e hibition of t lulbing. A striking feature et the uniquq cxhibtio i of clothing held at the, \ladis•,n fiquare Garden (writetsTh,t, Leaden C'hronicle's New York cor- respondent), was the large number f women exhibitors representing factories which as the result of tl eir enterprise have sprung up all ower tete country within the last few years. These women have in 110 ease been engaged in the manufa. taro ••f women's clothing more than three or four years. The stoic .f, their success reads like a fairy elle. One of them --the daughter of Eng- is list) parents --was left some tett years ago with several small bro- thers and sisters to support. Sho entered the business house of Mtar- •iall Field in Chicago, and three years afterwards found herself es- tablished in Paris as their buyer for ladies' underclothing. Three years ago site decided to manufacture in her own behalf. She began with twenty w•orkworan Now she employs 600, in addition to nearly a hundred agents teasel- ing in every part of the world. bliss Leona Forster, who has built tip this enterprise, is still in tho early thirties. Sho is petite and as dainty as a rosebud. She weare Parisian gowns exquisitely cut and} of charming simplicity. She tells' me that by living rt tionally and; dressing comfortably she finds her- self able to spend the day in her factory from 7 u.nt. until 3 p.m. in summer and from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. in the winter. bliss Forster explained that her succei s was duo t p her entire devotion to her busio Hess. "English girls," she declared,, "of the better class make their bu- siness a subsidiary matter to their social success. So many of them, pouring out by the hundred from schools and colleges every year, are seeking some genteel occupa- (ion which will leave theni free to play tennis and attend unlimited numbers of afternoon teas. Few of them succeed in business in Eng- land because their habits ale not businesslike." \Pith Miss Forster are exhibit ing two Scotswomen who are laugh hers of professional men in ,Scot- land. They went to America to. teach, and have found a more pro-; fitablc livelihood in business. One of these ladies lamented that so little was done to further the emi- gration of women of the ' better, class. There is a demand for them an America, she declares, because `. they are better educated and more reliable than the young women of America. IS NO EXCUSE FOR 111'.11. The Untidy \Woman Who is a Blot vitt Iler Sex. There is no excuse for the untidy, disorderly woman—she who leaves, odds and ends wherever she goes. It is a sad fact that a great many. i►usbands aro far neater about their belongings than their wives, and many a man has decided that matrimony was a failure because the house resembled a rag hex ra- ttier than a Moine. Every neat roan with orderly ha- bits ought to be such a reproach t., the opposite kind of woman that she should retire from society un- til she changed her ways. If we are neat and methodical in our ways we are lacking in the chief attribute of woman. She is meant to keep the world in order and 50 make life beautiful, while man gives lois whole time to work. Not all the good qualities is the world can redeem the sloppy wo- man from Ling a failure as a wo- man. She can bo brilliant, witty and good, but she is a poor creature if she is sluvculy in appearance and if her home is one jumble of dust, and things out of place. We cannot all have ries and beau- tiful things around tis. Some of, us must go dad in cotton and cat from pine boards. But those boards should be scrubbed until they glisten like snow. and the cv•t- ton dress should be as fresh as the morning. And, maiden there is no need of your wearing cheap jewellery that needs repairing. cheap laces that need washing and cheap feathers that won't curl, and you don't have to nae in your house spotted Wile - cloths, dust covered brie a-bine• nrd broken furniture. iletter an empty room with four bare walls.
