FANCIES OF FASHION.
Rig Hats Still Fash Tur-
bans-Dainty Muffs.

Marabout boas fastened at the back
of bonnets and hats and then about the
throat are little worn in Paris now, al
though they were at the heigat OF favor
two months ago. The long boas are.
however, worn about the throat, and
are especially popular for decolletts
gowns. They are made OF soft lace,
eider-down, ostrich feathers, and even
of loops of narrow ribbon caught up on
foundation of velvet or silk. All OF
these are from two to three yards long,
Fur boas in sable, mink, lynx and
beaver are also worn, both for the
street and opera, and are found ex-
tremely comfortable in the lobbies
while awaiting the carriage.
Large hats, ornamented with one
or dozen small birds, are the most
favored for carriage wear and after
noon promenading. When worn for
the street they are generally held in
place by the large dotted wells edged
with fine lace, and fastened by an invis-
ible elastic about the throat.
A handsome midwinter hat just sent
from London is of deep snuff brown
velvet made with soft full crown and
broad fiat brim. The crown is en-
broidered in gold wheat sheaves and a
big cluster OF brown tips, shading al
most to gold, adorns one side. held in
place by two little brown Java spar
rows. . ..... .t
A more elaborate hat is OF moss
green silk, with a brim shocked in
white silk, a soft Tam OShanter gown,
surrounded by ten tiny white wings,
placed edge to edge, two small white
birds holding them on the left side.
Many fantastic midwinter conceits
are seen in the small round turbans. A
theater turban, which is almost bon
net, is made of pale-yellow silk, laid in
the finest of plaits about the brim' with
a crown OF white cloth embroidered IN

Take up the plants carefully from the

possible of this water and soil adhere
to the roots. Care should be taken NOT
to get the leaves into the mixture; then

in this way very rapidly, the boy car
rying the vessel containing the plants
and taking one out at a time, and the
man setting them out The plants
should be set reasonably deep and the
soil pressed close up around the roots.
More plants fail to grow from neglect
of this than from almost any other one
cause. 1t is necessary, if good yield
is to be obtained, to be sure OF good
stand; hence it is good plan to go
over the rows and replant where the
plants have failed to grow. Thorough
work in the preparation will aid MAJ
terially in preventing injury from the
cutworm.
Some cultivators depend altogether
upon watching to keep down the cut
worm; others apply q small quantity
of ashes and salt around each hill.
When only a comparatively small
number of plants are set out a
very good plan is to set stiff paper
around each plant, as the worms
can not climb over it; but to do this
with any considerable number OF plants
would be quite task. In any case,
whatever plan is attempted, thorough
work must be done, and that from the
start. As with all other cultivated
crops, it is essential that clean, thor
ough cultivation be given from the
start, and, as rule, the more thor
oughly this is done the better will be
the growth. This should be com
menced early, as it is the early culti'
walton that is the most important. l.
the plants make vigorous start tt

will keep 1t up, but if they get stuntet

HERE AND THERE.

In setting out trees, whether in
the spring or fail, it is very important
to pack the soil we'll around the roots.
Many new weeds can be prevented
from getting start If new or strange
plants are destroyed whenever they
are seen.
AS general rule new land is the
best adapted to the growth of berries.
Care should. however, be taken to pre-
pare in good tilth and give clean culti-
walton.
To get large yields of potatoes
pillow the soil deep and thoroughly pre-
pare in good tilth before planting the
seed. Then keep the surface level
and thoroughly fined.
Ground bone is one of the best
fertilizers that can be used with pota-
toes. Apply in the hill after the fur
rows are marked out, putting table,
spoonful in each hill and then thor
oughly incorporating with the soil be-
fore planting the seed.
Broken bones and old pieces OF
leather applied around the grape vines
will supply phosphoric acid for long
time, as they dissolve slowly. The bet
ter plan is to dig the dirt carefully
away near the roots and apply, and
then cover up carefully.
1t is hard to make the soil for
asparagus, rhubarb, onions or cabbage
too rich They will stand more strong
fresh manure than almost any other
crops, either in the garden or truck
patch, and the yield will generally ba
