Notes for Farmers.

Superphosphate is the best fertil-
izer to use in the fall for wheat.
Fall wheat should be going in now.
Plow the ground and make it fine.
The weeds are rigening their seeds
now. Now them down before the
seeds are perfected.
Pears do not become mellow on
the trees. They should be gathered
and stored in a dark place.
Winter oats grow in Virginia, and
are seeded down in the fall. 1t might
pay to try small plot in this Sec
ton, as the climates of Virginia diff
fers but little from Eastern Pennsyl-
vania and New Jersey.
Lime broadcasted over the soils is
never wasted. If not appropriated
by one crop it will be taken up by
another. 1t acts on the soil, and
thereby increases the supply of plant
food.
Ashes assist to stiffen the straw of
wheat by decomposing the silica,
which is the principal ingredient of
the bony substance of plants. Silica
is insoluble, but the potash of the
ashes slowly assist in breaking its
combinations and rendering it more
available for use by plants.
The plant known as dusty miller
is one of the best for boarders, as it
becomes very thick and compact.
One of it's faults is to extend itself
and run over large space, but it
may easily be kept in bounds with
but little labor. 1t may be trans
planted in the tall, as it is hardy and
endures the severest winter.
The grape rot is now believed to
be under control, the remedies sug
gested by the Government reports
having been tried with success at
general points. The spraying of the
vines as soon as the blossoms appear,
and repeating the operation after
each rain with solution of sulphate
of copper and lime water, is the plan
adopted.

Fashion Notes.

There is less and less of hustle in
tie world of fashion.
Dark, rich fables in wallfower
shades are imported.
Corded silk will be in high favor
this autumn.
Directoire gowns and bonnets are
very becoming to tall, stately wo-
neI.
The designs of the belted blouse
waists are really as varied as the ma
te-iais employed
Pointed peasant belts are much IA
vored, and so are loose blouses, par
ticular,y for young girls and little
children.
Odd effects app esr in the newest
yatered silks, many of which have
wavy blotches or ovals just thought
darker than their ground tone.
The daintiest parasols of the sea-
son are made Of Brussels net or dot
ted point d'esprit, made in very
full puff over a transparent founda-
ton.
Nuns yelling IS even more popu-
lar than. ever this season. Many
dresses made OF this material are
hand embroidered in pale oriental
coioTs.
The bow at the Top OF your para
sol cannot be too flamboyant for
fashion, and The s.cher and costlier
the ribbon composing it the better
tie style.
A ribbon belt, with a profusing OF
loops and ends ct the left side, reach
ing nearly TO the foot of the skirt is
now the usual accompaniment of cor
sages of lace or net.
Embroidered insertings are con-
siderably used in the skirts of mus
lin dresses, either lengthwise or run.

Words of Wisdom.

Words of Wisdom.
Improve the present.
Meat is much, but manners more.
Hunger makes raw beans relish
we'll.
Beauty is natural, but art can be
beautiful.
Humble usefulness is better than
learned idleness.
No man ever yet failed till he lost
confidence in himself.
Do not squander time, for that is
the stuff life made of.
He that waits on another man q
trencher makes a late dinner.
Our circle has no diameter, because
truth has no boundaries.
Preserve self-possesion and do not
be talked out Of conviction.
Ignorant culture is like an empty
barrel labelled, without contents with
in.
A whole heaven is contained in o
drop of dew; q whole soul within q
tear.
Progress depends upon the virtues
OF the present, not the vices Of the
past.
Ambition breaks the ties of blood,
and forgets the obligations of graft
tude.
1t is the poorest way to get up in
the world to be continually down in
the mouth.
Not to feel misfortunes is not the
part of a mortal, but not TO bear them
is unbecoming man.
The greatest event in O hens life is
made up of an egg and cackle But
eagles never cackle.

This was expected 10 be the first step to
ward the restoration of rates, IS II was
generally believed that upon the Central
Traffic Association advancing east bound
rates the New York Central would at
once advance west bound rates. The
meeting was harmonious and at 2:30 our
Chicago correspondent wires that the
meeting would probably move for sharp
advance on dressed beef, grain, and other
products between Chicago and New York.
Holders showed no disposition TO sell.
The bears did nothing, except, perhaps,
TO cover as opportunity offered. London
