The gown on the right is more elaborate,
though that, too, is rather simple 1t is of
combination plain and lowered goods,
trimmed with plain, darker color in panels,
and on the revers at the waist, and on the
cuffs and collar The skirt at the back is
plain. Over it is long polonaise, draped
slightly at the back. 1t is open at the side
of the waist, the opening concealed beneath
the revers 1t is fastened by small buttons
placed out of sight. The front of the polo
naise is cut in one piece. At the side where
the opening is portion of it is tucked in
folds under the back, just below the waist.
This gives tn. graceful, wrinkled apron front
now so fashionable. The folds are gathered
closely, almost like knot, at the point where
the front is Tapped under the side.

FARM GARDEN


Professor A j. Cook, of the Michigan
Agricultural college, has conferred lasting
boon on American fruit growers in his bul-
letin on the codling moth or nasty, filthy
apple worm. Those who have tried the
method he recommends declare it is invalu-
able, that by it they are enabled to raise
apple crops with scarcely wormy one in
the lot 1t is simply to spray the trees just
at the close of blossoming time with London
purple or Paris green dissolved in water,
These are preparations containing arsenic.
The spraying is done by force pump and
barrel, which is hauled through the orchard
An Iowa farmer named John Dixon discov
cred the method many years ago. He used
the white arsenic. But this is more danger
GUS than the Other preparations because it
is so apt to he mistaken for something else.
Professor Cook gives illustrations aud de-
scriptions of the codling moth, as follows:

Drains in CLAW Soils,

Water soaks slowly through clay, espe-
cially when it has been cultivated thoroughly.
II underdrains are run in clay fields there IS
danger that at the upper end, if considerable
water flows in, it will carry with it sediment
and thus close up the tile. To prevent this
sink a well at the head of the ditch, two or
three feet lower than the bottom of the out
let This will hold the dirt, and by clearing
out once year the drain will keep in order
forever. Where the drains run through
clays the water will soak down to them
better after the frosts of few winters have
opened the soil

Preserving Eggs.

The very low price Of eggs has this year
come unusually early, and it is now so much
lower than it has averaged of late years that
the chances are rather for an advance before
fall. Certainly eggs at present rates are
cheap food, and whoever will preserve them
until winter will be pretty sure of profit
Dipping the eggs in strong limo water and
then packing in salt is a safe way to preserve
them. They should be in tight box, which
should be turned over every two or three
days to prevent the yolk from settling down
so as to touch the she'll

Lace skirts, con isting of wide founciugs
or narrow plaitings set upon foundations Of
surah, and worn under polonaises of various
elegant summer silks and other rich mate
rails, will be among the most charming
dresses for summer wear, for either day or
evening toilets. Shot silk will often be used
for the slips of princess dresses made wholly
of lace and the ribbon trimmings used upon
the dress will match exactly the two shades
of the changeable silk foundation-pale god
and mauve tea rose and turquoise blue, and
pink and silver being favorite combinations.

Basques for general wear are not at all

Annie Tree Bark or Scale Louise.

Professor Cook recommends a remedy
for this He writes Of it: The apple scale
or bark louise, is very common and destruc-
tive. This is often called the oyster shell

mytilaspis pomo. UNI bouche.
The illustration shows at the top how the
bark looks with the scales upon it. The
scales appear from August to June. Under
meath them are millions Of infnitesimal white

The following plain and simple method Of
making cheese is given by The American
Agriculturist in a late number: The pan

other pan holding water, to prevent scor''h

of milk in the tub, until all reaches ~ degs.
Add sufficient prepared rennet to coagulate
