Fodder Corn.

Fodder corn should be put in at the
same time as the field corn, for it is bet
ter that the stalks should be well grown
and reach considerable degree Of ma
turity before cutting, whether intended
for the si1o or for curing as dry fodder.
Many believe that for the silo it should
be SO grown that it will develop ears al
most as abundantly as the field corn,
and that those ears should reach that
stage of growth where the kernels are in
or little past the milky condition, and
if we are not yet ready to accept that
opinion neither are we prepared to dis
pute it, says American Cultivator. The
points best settled are that it pays tc
grow fodder corn; that it is good to feed
green when the pastures grow poor from
drought or other causes; that it is good
when kept in the silo, and good when
properly dried and kept for winter for.
age, and that cutting it few days ear
Ier or later does not make a great differ
ence in its feeding value. No one can
state the exact stage of growth when ii
should be cut, as they do for clover OF
timothy, and therefore the grower is not
so dependent upon the weather.

Cave DwelIers In Brooklyn.

It is true enough that one half of TIE
world doesn't know how the other half
lives, and it Is likely that some residents
of the Brooklyn heights are unaware Of
the cave dwellers who eat and sleep with
in so feet Of their back windows. In cut
ting down the hill front to lay out Fur
man street a precipitous face of gravel
was left, and instead of making an easy
slope from the crest Of the heights to
the waters edge the gravel was kept in
place by heavy retaining wall. This
wall has been pierced in several places,
however, so that it has become the front
of row Of underground houses, veri-
table caves that extend back for about
80 feet into the hill, the lawns and gar
dens of the rich people overhead consti-
tuting their roofs. In these caves there
are saloons, shops, storerooms and tene-
ments. They are dark and rather damp,
as they have no light or air except on
the street side.-New York Sun.

THE LATEST STYLES.
OLD LACE GOODS CAN NOW BE EASILY
UTILIZED.

The Jacket Gives Way to the Cape-Lace
For shaw1s and skirts-Childrcn's Cos

ray of Stylish Colors.

toni
One of the prettiest Of the latest de-
velopments in summer wraps is the lace
Russian blouse with Spanish combina-
ton in the shape Of a figaro jacket more
or less pronounced. These blouses rare
ly have sleeves, but in their places full
caps or falls of lace reaching nearly or
quite to the elbow. Some of them are
of Spanish lace, others of chantilly, and
some are Of fishnet. Many Of the pat
tern laces have the design outlined in
small jet beads, which give richness
and beauty indispensable.
Ribbons and black silk OF velvet ac-
cessories make these blouse wraps un-
approachable for beauty and elegance.
Lace shawls and lace skirts that have
been laid aside can be utilized in making
blouses, and if the pattern has been
frayed or torn clever manipulation with
jet beads will cover all that The fish
net laces should be trimmed with several
rows of narrow MORE or satin ribbon
around the bottom and on the yoke and
sleeves. Some have full ruche collars,
others the pierrot style.
On many of the newest summer frocks
there will be laid fiat lace insertion, black
over light colors and white over such as
will show through to the best advantage
Lace as trimming will be lavishly. en-
ployed on all summer garments where it
Is possible 10 put it. One sees lace on
broadcloth sometimes, and one sees it
overlaid fiat on velvet or fulled ON as
closely as it can be gathered, so that it
falls like ruche.
Lace as trimming on little girls dresses
is now pronounced success and a favor
ite, particularly for berthas and bretelles
Double rows Of lace placed around the
shoulders and dropping over the arms
make a pretty finish to an otherwise
plain gown. Black china silk and pongee
are being made up for young girls, the
skirts gathered and otherwise quite plain,
the waists gathered to belt, with rib
bon belt and rosette in pale blue, apple
green or some other light and delicate
shade.
For children the sleeves are made
with an upper puff and coat shape on
the forearm, but the puff is not very
large. I notice that there are two dis
tinct styles for young girls. One is mod
fled empire and the other q combina-
ton of all kinds united in a common
sense and useful manner, suited to the
needs Of growing children with active
bodies.
The size of the sleeves in fashionable
gowns makes jackets almost impossible,
SO that the CANAL and other short capes
are necessities, and as even the light
military cape is too much for very warm
days lace ones are taking their places,
and also I notice in recent importation
shown only to chosen few some slong
shawls" made Of soft twilled silk, very
/ flexible and OF light cream or beige
ground, with cross bayadere stripes. The
shawl is 3yards long, selvage ON both
edges and ftinged at the ends.

Coddling Moth and Woolly Aphis - a
Spraying Outfit Described.
F. L. Washburn, entomologist Of the
Oregon experiment station, after three
years observation on the habits of the
coddling moth, expresses the belief that
orchardists begin to spray too early for
this pest and names as the time for
the first spraying just after the blossoms
have fallen. At the Oregon station,
where the several insecticides have been.
tested, the combination that gave best
satisfaction consisted Of pound Of IXL
"a comparatively new insecticide) to ev-
cry is gallons Of water, and to this paris
green added in the proportions of pound
to every 300 gallons of liquid. About 10
pounds of whale oil soap soft soap would
have been as efficacious) were added to
this 300 gallons. The Xxi was crushed
to pieces about the size of hens egg
and sufficient hot water poured on to
coverit. 1t was then added to the water,
aswell as the soap, which latter had first
been thoroughly dissolved. The paris
green was then added and the mixture
kept stirred when spraying. 1t has been
found expedient to mix the paris green
with small amount of water first and
then pour the creamy mass into the
spraying liquid. The spraying Of apple
trees began with the dropping of the
blossoms; then three weeks were allowed
between the second and third sprayiRgs
unless heavy rain followed immediate

Mrs. Seigfried is young yet, but she

songs Of the day and is now engaged on
an operetta. Her orchestral compost

that they crossed in front and reached to

There are several choice new fancies
in fabrics brought forward now, some Of
them exceedingly beautiful, particularly
glace silk in light ground, such as
putty color, beige or gray, and over this
are thick ribs of different color, though
always artistically matched or contrast

in such way as to form striped ma

Then there is a glace diagonal with
the ribs slantwise in silk over woolen

Island on a floating hospital, for an aft
ernoon paper. The young writer waited
for the editor to send her check and
engagement. As they did not come. she
went for them and got both, though
after considerable encouragement.
In person Miss Benson is medium
sized, beautifully proportioned, young
and exceedingly pretty, with a sensitive
mouth and decided round and very pret-
ty chin. In fact, she is pretty all over
Another remarkable woman who has
been pioneer in her choice of profes-
sion is Miss Emma R. Steiner. She is
tall and slender, Of most striking appear
ance, and with hair nearly white, but
with a beautiful, youthful face, rosy
and without line. 1t is not age that
has bleached her hair, but the miserable
wear and tear Of trying to evolve har-
mony out Of half hundred men and in
struments.
Miss Steiner is the leader of the or
chestra in one of our best theaters, and
she is also a composer Of much merit.
She composed an opera, and it was
played here for some weeks, but did not
prove the success it should have been
had the ibretto been half as good as the
music. Not daunted by the failure of
this opera which cost her SO much, she
has continued her work and has brought
out many very popular songs, among
them "The Hussar," "The First Kiss"
Love and ]" "A Flower Divinely Fair"
and comic song called ''Clara John
sons Pug"
Mrs. Josephine Gro was formerly an
artist, but SO nearly lost her sight a9 to
be obliged to give up her art, and then
she took to designing neckties while
waiting for her music to bring her in
money. She composes songs mostly Of a
light and popular nature, many Of them
having become great favorites, which is
good for her, as she gets cents royalty
on each copy of the song sold.
Mrs. Gro has preferred music Of d
light and popular kind, but she is quite
capable of doing those ponderous and
wearisome high class compositions, and
she is a thorough musician, writing all
her music after the rigid rules, but never
tries to write at all unless she-h the in
spiration. She is not very tall, but is
dainty and pretty, with sweet blue eyes,
an exquisite complexion and most engag-
ing manner. Every one cordially wishes
her even fuller success.
Mrs. Lille Mahon Seigfried is another
composer who inherited her talent from
her grandfather, The O'Gorman Ma
hon, who was the descendant of the old
Irish kings, whose blood flowed in his
veins in direct line, and whose name
was the synonym of all that was grand,
tender and chivalrous. Mrs. Seigfried
has the features of her family in a
marked degree, together with the warm
heart and affectionate disposition that are
the inheritance Of every one whose fami-
ly owes its origin to the Green Isle. She
is known as the 'peacemaker."

narrowed swARnr1Ne LADDERS.

A common ladder may readily be
changed to answer the purpose by hav-
ing a middle piece fastened to the upper
rungs, as shown in the cut, Fig. 2. This
middle piece projects above the two sides
Of the ladder as much as may be desira-
BILE. It may be necessary to use strap
iron in fastening this middle piece to the
upper and lower rounds to which it is
attached
It often happens that swarm alights
on place where it is not easy to set
ladder conveniently against the tree,
whether the ladder terminates in one on
two points. Especially is this likely to
be the case with bushy fruit trees. The
swarm is away out at the end of an
overhanging limD, and it is hard to get
the ladder anywhere near it. In this
case a fruit ladder such as the one shown
at Fig. 8 serves the purpose well. The
principle is very old. This ladder il
made Of common inch boards about 0
inches wide. a rest piece coming between
the two side pieces at the top and bolt
passing through the three boards, hold
ing them close together. This third
piece is Of the same width as the two
sides for little way at the upper end,
and for the rest of the way about an
inch narrower, so that the piece can be
folded up, allowing the ladder to be set
up against a tree the same as an ordinary
ladder

AIanuring Tor Tomatoes.

w. B. Atwood, writing from the vir-
ginia station, advocates manuring in the
hill for tomatoes. He fertilizes, as a
rule, with compost around the plants as
soon as transplanted, and by this secures
heavy crops Of fine fruit. When he has
no compost, small quantity Of chemical
fertilizer is used in the hills, but it is
thoroughly hoed in before setting the
plants; otherwise it would burn them
up, tomatoes being very tender in this
regard Applying compost around the
plant gives the most satisfactory crop b.
has ever grown. 1t is the custom in his
section to fertilize in the hill, and no one
complains of small tomatoes thus pro-
duced.

An Improvement In Glass Globes

1t is well known that Opaque globes
absorb very large amount Of the light
Of arc lamps, and whatever present style
of globe if used dark shadow is cast
directly below the lamp. To avoid these
difficulties new style of globe has been
brought out In France made of transpar-
ent glass with circular depressions, hav-
ing such faces as to form lenses (similar to
the well known lighthouse lenses, the
curvatures (which are SO calculated that
they refract and reflect so as to diffuse
the light. Such globes may be made Of
pressed glass and although more ex-
pensive they diffuse light much more
economically than absorbing opal or
