Taking Care of Dresses.

RThere is an old proyerb that says a
lady is always to be known by her boots
and gloves. Quite as crucial a test is
the faculty of taking good care of her
costumes, and one that quite as distinctly
marks the well-bread lady. Any one can
buy an elegant wardrobe if she have
money enough, but to take the requisite
care to keep it fresh and dainty requires
something more than check book. Ot
keeping nice dresses, a lady writes:
aEach dress should have its own wrap
or cover to keep it from chatting or
fading. Take fine, firm cotton cloth,
something over yard wide, cut it into
squares, then hem and wash the
SQUARES. They should be fine, take no
room. and weigh little; firm to
keep away from dust; hemmed,
that YOU may keep the same side next
the silk, and washed, to do away with
the bleaching chemicals, which are liable
to change the color of silk. Fold the
bottom of the train back and fourth in
about eighteen or twenty-three inch
folds, so as to fit the box you have for
it. The bottom being altogether, you
will cover it with small cloth or towel
to keep the dusty train from rubbing
against the cleaner parts of the robe;
roll the whole dress loosely to the size
and shape of the box, lay it upon white
cloth and fold the corners OF the same
over the top of the package and place in
n box. Now loosen the roll and adjust
it to its space so as to favor any delicate
or easily crushed portion of the dress
-as Medici collars, flower garnitureI
embroidery, etc.,-relieying crowded
places and distributing the thick
to the thin spots. When you come to
use the robe, shake it out, and you viii
find it in good condition. The fold of 8
dress or shawl will often work up be
tween the trays of boxes and by motion
of cars, wagons, ETC., get chafed into
holes. To avoid this pin the cloth oyel
so it cannot iut over the box. To pack
Iaces fold them in blue tissue paper OF
soft linen, because white paper contain:
bleaching acids and discolors and decays
the ribbons or lace. The same is true Of
white shoes and gloves and especially
of silver ornaments. The latter, though
worn every evening, retain their purity
and brillianey for months if kept closely
in blue tissue paper. Shoes and slipper:
should never be folded together without
a cloth or paper between them, as the
sole of one soils the upper of the other
Put .une in cloth, turn it over and then
add the other.

Variety in Crop Rotation.

A single system Of rotation Is not, nor
can it be appliable in all localities. Inc
only true test Of any system IS It's con
timed success. In planting judieious
rotation It il advisable 10 alternate
with the narrow leaved cereals haFlhS

and oil plants should only be grown a!
Intervals unless the soil Is In excelleh'
condition. Plants which prove to be
the least exhaustive should invariably
he alternated with those OF an opposite
character, ,- II
A the most important elements OF
,lant-food are nitrogen, phOsphoric acid
and notash. il is necessary that such
crons be grown in succession as do moi
reorire the same substance in equal
snonnt. For example while the cotton
crop appropriates much more nitrogen
than the corn crop, it takes quite as
much more potash and phosphoric acid.
Or as stated by Prof Pendleton, there
ia taken I'D by one crop of cotton, 3I.OO
nitrogen, 8. IS potash; four crops OF corn,
1900 nitrogen, 1908 phosphoric acid, s.
"a spotash. Thus it seems that cotton
and corn feed alike on these substances,
tha main difference being as to the guam
tity of each. A double crop OF corn
would consume about as much OF THESE
substances as half crop OF cotton. VI the
other principle crops in the south the
oat crop destroys more potash than the
Others, and the field pea less phosphoric
acid. while each Of these crops consumes
more nitrogen than corn or wheat.
Among the many special advantages
of rotation, very decided one. is that

and noxious insects. The latter, if de-
Driyed of their special food for two sea.

growth of folliage.favors.the development
and storage of heterogeneous matter near
4be surface. Another advantage gained
nv rotation is that it affords the land an
n1portunity to rest The length of this
rest should be determined by the supply
of vegetable matter in the soil. The
less the quantity, the more frequent
should be the periods of rest and recu-
peration. As a general rule, a system
involving rest every fourth year IS the
hest. However, the leading object in
any system of rotation should be to real,
ize the highest profit from our land, and
at the same time to preserve or increase
itslfertiIity. While it cannot be con-
sistently claimed that rotation is indis-
pensable, it is undoubtedly the best econ
6my of manure time and labor. A rO-
tation of manures may be substituted,
part. at least, for one of crops, but the
most skillful farmers are those who COM
bine a rotation of crops with one OF
special manures for special crOps.-W.

Ben. Butleris not at all sure that Cleveland can
carry New York Ben. may be prejudced In this
matter as It Is understood that he wishes to carry
New York himself, but he nevertheless makes out
plausible case against the governor. He notices
the fact, for instance that Cleveland, though elect
ed by the enormous majority OF 1872 0oo votes over
Folger. received only $50 more votes than Hancock
got In 1880, when Garfield defeated him by 20 1000
majority. Again, though Cleveland was elected so
triumphantly In 1882 his friend and representative
was defeated the next year for secretary state by
5000 majority. AS to Clevelsnd's record as gov
srnor, Butler thinks he has shown disposition to
favor corporations, which viii hurt him with the
Masses
In making calculations on the vote In the close
state OF New York it would not be safe to ignore
Butler himself as disturbing element II he is re-
1ected at Chicago by the democrats he will owe
them no special service and VIII feel at liberty to
run on the greenback and anti-monopoly plat
forms In that capacity 1t Is quite possible that he
can pick up enough votes to turn the wavering
