Buy Good Goods.

Already cry arises from many quar-
tiers that some of the new dress mate
rails will slip in the seams, which tend
ency is hated by every woman making
or wearing gown. Hop sackings have
been spoken of, also serges and sleazy
cheviots.
In many cases the complaints are
just, but only where the shopper buys
inferior goods. If merchants would
keep and women buy goods of merit
only, they would never complain of
seams slipping This does not mean the
most expensive goods, but trustworthy
quality, of which there are many among
the domestic and foreign dress goods.
An open sleazy weave of wooden or
silk goods will, from its very nature, slip
or pull in the seams if it is of poor,
cheap quality. Buy reliable goods of
medium quality, and no matter how
sleazy the weave they will prove suffi-
GENTLY firm to hold the stitching of the
seams. 1t is not necessary to decry GER
tain weaves for this tendency, as the
remedy lies with the merchant and the
shopper, who should refuse them in
the cheapest grades. Unfortunately in
these days successful materials are often
brought out in cheaper and cheaper
qualities, until they are at last driven
from the market.-Dry Goods Econo-

Vacation time is coming, and the sea-
shore dweller is getting ready to 60 to
the mountains, the tired city man is pre-
pairing to go to the country, the dweller
of the interior is looking forward to a
visit to the city and the shore. Each de-
sires change, and so illustrates the law
that rest and recuperation come not SO
much from cessation of activity some
times as from variety of occupation and
new surroundings, new faces and new
scenery. It is well that this is SO. for
the visiting of new places and the max
ing of new acquaintance tend not only
to strengthen and refresh the tired toiler,
but to make him broader in his views
and filter to understand the large prob
lens that as citizen of this age of change
and progress he must grapple with.

OF soda was very small. The smallest
profits were where kainit was used alone
and the largest ON the plots where kainit
was combined with superphosphate, In
the case of the White Star and Beauty
Of Hebron the halves, quarters and sin
gle eyes produced decidedly more than
the whole potatoes. With Early Rose
the results were variable. With regard to
the number and vigor Of the stalks from
different sized seed the director Of the
station says;
We find that in all varieties the whole
potato produces a greater number and
more vigorous stalks than either the
halves, quarters or single eyes, and that
the general rule is gradual diminution
of the number and vigor Of the stalks as
the size Of the pieces planted diminishes
until we reach those cut to one eye in
each piece, when we find that the mum
Der of the stalks is materially increased
OF those cut to single eyes nearly all ger
minated. We further find that the in.
creased yield is not in proportion to the
increase of the number of stalks. From
these facts we infer that in the pr .ara.
ton and planting of the seed to secure
the best results the potato should be so
cut as to secure one strong, vigorous
stalk from each piece and planted so as
to secure from three to four stalks to
each hill.

At the battle Of Antietam, or Sharps-
burg, Mcclellan sent a strong force against
an unoccupied portion of Longstreets line
The latter was quick to notice this move
ment Calling TO General Sorrell and Cap
tain Latrobe to follow him, Longstreet gal
loped to the gap in his line, toward which
point the Federals were advancing rapidly,
Two cannon had been left there, almost
the entire crew Of both guns dead or lying
desperately wounded. Longstreet instantly
dismounted, and with the aid of Sorrell
and Latrobe wheeled the heavy pieces into
line, double shotted them and trained them
on the advancing Federal line. Longstreet
sighted both pieces and jerked the lanyards
with his own hands. The effect was terrific.
Both shots went true, moving great gaps
in the Federal line. The pieces were loaded
and trained rapidly, so that again and again
the advancing line Of Federals was broken
and momentarily halted, giving time to ac-
complish what Longstreet had in view-the
re-establishing of his own line, concentrat-
ing at the point Of attack.--St. Paul Pho

OfInterest to Whist Players.

The whist players of America are
greatly interested because of the pres
ence ON this side of the water of Henry
Jones. the Englishman who writes on
this noble game of cards over the sigma
ture of Cavendish. Mr. Jones is here for
the purpose Of taking part in the whist
congress that is to be held in Chicago,
and he is in great demand wherever he
goes. Whist players and newspaper
men beseech him for interviews, the
first class for the purpose of having
knotty points of play settled by his auto
cratic tips, and the second for copy that
may be sold for shekels. The players
are delighted because the great British
expert says the American lead" has been
adopted by progressive English players,
and the reporters occasionally secure
enough of his time to enable the making
of a salable story.
It should be understood by the public
that the whist congress is in no sense
part of or held under the auspices of the
officers of the Worlds fair. 1t is an an
nual gathering of whist players, who de-
cided to meet in Chicago this year pos
sibly because the fair is held there, but
its arrangements are entirely in their
hands and have been made independent

A little girl has lately gone crazy in
the effort to collect 100000 stamps. II
was more than her poor child brain could
compass. Somebody who ought to have
been sentenced to a term of imprison-
ment started foolish story long ago that
the United States government would
pay a reward of $500 to anybody who
would collect 100000 stamps. The
story was a huge lie, but the bigger a
lie is the more people believe it. Thou
sands of children began to collect ,000,-
900 stamps. One or two of them actual
ly succeeded, at an expenditure of time
and energy that would have laid the
foundation of 81 100000 fortune. Aft
er they had got the stamps it was only to
find that nobody ever had offered any
premium whatever for the collection.
and that the whole story was a cruel
hoax. So it is. Nobody anywhere ever
offered $500 OF any other sum for 1 ,000,-
900 stamps. Nobody ever will. The story
is fit to be classed along with the tale OF
the Ohio cow that gave black milk.

Mol no! No roses for that grave,
Not dollhouse blossoms gay!
No other flowers he cared for, save
The gentle wild ones did my brave
My boy who marched away.
A slender boy with quiet eyes
And bushes like girl,
A lip that darkened downywise,
And taper hands maid might prize,
And soft brown hair a-curl.
He loved to haunt the forest dells
Where shady ferns are best.
And foxgloves with their dainty bells,
And where the timid violet tells
A fairy's lips have prest.
But of them all he seemed to hold
The simple daisy queen.
And happiest, from baby, rolled
Amid its foam Of white and gold
On summers waves Of green.

pinned above my boys heart
The flower he loved the best,
And kissed him once and wrenched apart
And looked again and saw him start
A soldier with the rest.
My country asked my all, and L
gave as mothers may.
The daisies withered with July,
And when the August fields-were dry
They brought me bacak-some clay.
A stiff, soaked letter on his breast
With crumbling petals in,
A brow that bore the kiss of rest,
And lightly to its treasure prest
The fingers pale and thin.
At home tend shabby flower
That pinned the winter through.
1t seemed to shrink from hour to hour
Perhaps, in place of Natures shower,
1t drank too bitter dew.
One little starving bloom it bore,
But timely did its part,
And while today the roses pour
My boy shall have his own once more
A daisy on his heart!

An appropriation was made in New
York state for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether it is practicable to run canal
boats by electricity. The experiment
will be made on the canals during the
month of August. Nothing but mule
power has ever yet been found satisfac-
tory as a motor for the canalboat.
Steam stirs the water up too much and
destroys the banks. If electricity can.
supply the want, then canals may have a
new lease Of life. Freight transporta-
ton is cheap by this method. If we can
have electrical canalboats, then thou
sands of romantic people who want new
sensation will take their summer outings

The Poultry House Floor.

Poultry keepers are not generally
agreed on the subject of best floors for
poultry houses. Some contend than an
earthen floor is the best, others advocate
board floors, while others again are sure
there is no floor so good as the one made
Of cement or concrete. The truth is,
there is much to be said for and against
all three of these styles.
The dirt floor to permanent house is
very difficult to keep clean, and in many
soils it is impossible to keep it dry. Gen.
orally speaking, then, the dirt floor be-
comes foul and much of the time is damp.
The concrete floor has much to COM
mend it. 1t is easily kept clean, is dura-
BILE and can be made rat proof. The
objection raised to this floor is that it is
cold and uncomfortable for the fowls
Its advocates claim that this objection
may be overcome by keeping it thickly
covered with dry earth, a litter Of fine
straw or similar substance.
Probably the greatest number of well
built poultry houses have floors of good
matched lumber, which is cheaper than
concrete in most sections. A board floor
kept well Uttered with layer of dry
earth and cut straw, to be changed as
often as required for cleanliness sake,
serves well, though it is not ratproof.
The writer's own henhouse has a
matched lumber floor, elevated about
one and half feet from the ground
This insures free circulation of air be.
tween the floor and the ground and also
affords the birds shelter from sun in
summer and cold in winter. Whatever
material may compose the floor it is i'm.
perative that the floor be st,ewn with
loan, dry earth, sand or cut straw when
fowls are confined to the house, and that
this covering is often renewed

SEED GRAIN.

Test 1t, Clean 1t and Select 1t With Care.
Tho Best Seed Corn.
There is no doubt but that many yalu-
able crops are lost every year through a
failure to test the terminating powers of
corn and other cereals previous to plant
ing The Farmers Review not only
makes plea for the testing of all cereals,
but reminds readers that grass seeds are
often the poorest in termination and
should therefore be carefully tested by
sprouting them between flannel cloths
kept moist and in a moderately warm,
dark place. The old fashioned plan of
sprouting corn in shallow box of earth
is probably the safest, as the conditions
SO provided are more natural and less
favorable, thus giving true test. The
box should Recovered by pane of glass.
as mice have great liking for the sweet
sprouting kernels and may unexpectedly
render the record of the grain most I'M
satisfactory one.
1t is advised to clean such grain. The
first time grain is run through the fam
ming mill, while the chaf is removed,
loose weed seed falls through the sleeves
along with the heavy grain. Mustard,
for instance, cannot be properly removed
by one cleaning, for there is in the grain
both shelled seed and seed in the pods.
The latter is blown out the first time,
while the shelled seed remain with the
sound grain and can only be removed by
patient afterwork, of which very fast
driving of the mill is useful, as the heavy
grain will blow farther than the mus
tard and allow of fairly perfect separa-
ton. Mustard is not the only weed pest
thus removed, but is perhaps tue most
difficult to get rid of, while cookie, dock
and wild buclswheat usually succumb to
the first operation. The following adj
vice regarding selection of seed comes
from the s..,Ile source as the foregoing:
By all means select the plumpest, heav-
lest. brightest oat seed to be found, pro-
vided it is free from weed seed and was
grown in latitude not farther south
than your own farm, and if possible
farther north and higher up.
Experience teaches that it is a very
risky matter to experiment with corn
seed from outside of your own immedi-
ate neighborhood, unless of course the
ears are not the main crop worked for.
We find that corn purchased north of
our location and noted for-its pedigree
and all that sort of thing does not sur
pass and rarely equals common native
district corn in earliness or productive
ness.
From what we have learned on the
subject we are strongly inclined to ad-
