The work of station is sometimes
best performed in making examina-
tons Of the methods and results of prac-
teal farmers who have nothing to do
with the experimental part of agricul-
ture, and then in publishing these re-
ports. Often the experiments are con-
Quoted under such peculiar conditions
at the stations that 1t would hardly be q
fair thing to conclude that the same re-
suits would happen on the average
farm. The Illinois station seems to
realize this, and the opinions and meth
DDS Of feeding sheep, hogs, and cattle Of
over one hundred practical farmers and
breeders are published in Bulletin thir-
ty-six, making most interesting sum-
mary Of the state of feeding and breed
ing I'm Illinois. From this we learn that
the majority of farmers or breeders
whose opinions are given make corn
and pasture the chief reliance for feed
ing, generally fed unground, and even
unshelled by the majority, and stall
feeding is only occasionally practiced.
Very few foods outside of corn and pas
ture are given, and ensilage, strange to
say, Is mentioned by only few Of these
breeders of beef. On few other points
there is considerable disagreement, and
the question Of breed preferred varies,
although among sheep Shropshires lead
by small majority, and among pigs
the Poland-Chinas are the favorites,
and among cattle the short-horns.-Ger-

Tree Planting I'm Autumn.

A correspondent Of the Country Gen
tleman objects to the practice of remov-
ing young trees from the nursery rows
I'm autumn before they have completed
their growth. 1t is a common practice
TO strip the leaves off from these trees
which does not hurt IL the wood is ma
tured. They will then come off easily,
but IL this is done while the tree is
still growing, 1t often shrivels, and suf-
fers In consequence. For orchard
planting the writer prefers small we'll
rooted trees. These are cut back low
TO the ground the next spring, and they
will then grow rapidly, need no stalk
ing, and the ample root-system will in
sure q good crop.

another returning from the reservoir
to the buildings In the upper part
of each building is n smaller reser.
voir. These are supplied from the
larger one on the hill. Where it is
impossible to place the larger reser-
voir high enough to make use of grav-
ity as n means of returning the water
to the smaller ones the water can be
pumped direct from the spring TO the
reservoirs in the buildings. In this
case it is best that the reservoirs be
larger than where they are supplied
from one of mammoth size.

its proper value upon ease in doing
ones work. The illustrations given
herewith may afford suggestions for
those desiring to build general purpose
barns. The barn is Of the ordinary
shape, with wing on either end, as
seen in Fig. 1, the main or feeding
floor being across the middle of the
barn proper. The floor plan Gig. p
leaves little to add by way of explana-
ton, except that provision may be
made for feeding the young stock from
the second floor through chutes al
the end of the barn proper. 1t is in
tended for the young stock to run loose
in the pen provided-which should have
a cement 1oor-and that the manure
from the cattle and horse stalls should
be wheeled daily into this pen, spread

Yield Per Acre.

The farmers Of the United States pro-
duce less per acre than farmers in Eu-
rope, and this means at a greater pro-
portionate expense, as double crops can
sometimes be grown for the same out
lay of labor. 1t costs no more to pillow
an acre of land that produces twenty
five bushels of wheat than for twelve.
and nearly the same proportion of la
Dor must be bestowed upon harvest
ing the smaller field as the larger. 1t
is by compelling the land to produce
more per acre that the farmer must in
the future increase his profits.

ferent, because its tone Is so much more
gentle and entire costumes of 1t are in
excellent taste. A handsome satin dress
of this shade is portrayed in the fourth
illustration. 1t is simply made and
trimmed, guipure insertion being used
as garniture. The bodice fastens on the
side and is alike in back and front, be-
ing ornamented with three bands of
the lace. The folded belt and collar to
match are of black velvet, and the full
sleeves are topped by fancy epaulettes
banded with insertion. Haircloth stiff
fens the gored skirt throughout, and
the front shows three lengthwise bands
of lace matching that on the bodice.

woven like silky wool, with a furry
surface. the general effect being that of
cotton flannel. But they're not cotton

that these new rough materials are

A Constant Water Supply.

The very latest skirt is cut in godets
all around and there is no difference Of
fullness front and back. Like olives, it
Is an acquired taste, but it Is calculated
to display to advantage the magnifi-
cence Of material, while 1t does not fol-
low or suggest the lines of the figure.
1t has the additional distinction of be-
ing product Of this century. Almost
all fashions are mere revivals; not so
this skirt, which never was before. 1t
should fit closely about the waist, the
godets forming at the hip line. These
start small and swell and widen into
veritable pillows at the foot from
eight to ten godets serving to fill the en-
tire round. There are two methods of
managing the godet skirt. One lines II
throughout with stiff crinoline or even
haircloth, which keeps the godets in
shape, no matter what changes the
wearer makes in position, The effect
is artificial and stiff, but whatever
beauty there may be in the folds Is not
interfered with. The other method
leaves the skirt without any lining but
soft silk, and the godets turn and twist
with every movement. The effect is
odd enough, and more graceful than is
the other, but only very slim person
can risk either. for both rob the figure

Water Vegetables.

In China many OF the shallow pools
have their bottoms planted with edible
lilies, lotus, water chestnuts, water
spinach and other vegetables which
thrive in marshy lands. These grow
rapidly, and in the warmer sections
produce more than one crop each year.
1t might be wise to try some of these
water vegetables In this country, as
they will furnish greater variety of
food than already exists here.

Improving Meadows and Pastures.
In most meadows and pasture fields
are patches of greater or less extent
that are not nearly rs productive as the
remainder of the field. though the en-
tire surface is uniformly seeded. These
unproductive places are usually knobs
or hillsides, from which the fertility Of
the soil has been exhausted by washing
or cropping. During autumn they can
easily be located and brought back to
a state of fertility First apply good
seeding of timothy or other grass seed,
and then cover the entire surface half
an inch or more deep with well-rotted
barn yard manure, or heavy sowing
Of commercial fertilizer, passing over
the spots several times with a spring
tooth or other harrow. The early fall
rains will cause the seed to terminate,
and the whole surface should present a
healthy, green appearance before win
ter sets in. Frequently field that has
been into grass for many years is well
set with moss, in which case scatter
seed over the surface, apply some rich
manure, and harrow until the surface
looks ragged. thus laying the founda-
ton for an increased growth of herb
age, and all at small expense, without
replowing the field. These bare spots
are not at all pleasant to look at, and
do not speak well for the farmer-Or.

and covered with litter. 1t will thus
be firmly packed and kept in the best
of condition. If such barn could be
built where it could have a dry cellar,
the manure could be dropped into the
cellar, where also could be stored roots,
while the silo could extend down
through the cellar, the root room being,
of course, partitioned off from the
space devoted to the manure.-Ameri-

STANTON, May l7.-Staunton won
to-dsy's game easily by score of is to
8. The visitors had no show to win
at any stage of the game. Both pit:h
ers were hit hard, but Cooks support
was good while Roanoke's fielding was
very loose.
The work Of Maginnis, McHooveter,
Hartwick and Fultz was excellent, all
making sensational catches of what
seemed to be long hits. Little covered
first superbly, making two one. handed
catches OF seemingly wild throws.
Kirby's finger nail was knocked off in
the third but he finished the innings
and then gave way to Smith, Mccoy
going on third base. Smith was taken
sick in the seventh and, Captain Zeigler
consenting, KirbY.oame into the game
again, catching to the close.
Sfaunton went first to the bat and
Fultz hit the first ball pitched to left
for single. He went to second on
Lyons sacrifice, third on Arthur's sim
gle to right, both scoring on Zelgler's
double over the post Of the right field
fence short OF home run distance.
Scherer flied out to Johnson, retiring
the side, Little having previously
struck out. Staunton added four M ore
runs in the second on Smiths wild
throw Of Hartwick's liner, wild pitch
on Clark's third strike. muf OF Cooks
