How to Close the Jaws.

Watch the way your children close
their teeth, says dentist. The lower
jaw should close inside or at least even
with the upper. Many do this natur-
ally, many more must be taught, an l
the sooner the easier. There is no fact
in artistic dentistry more important
than this. To retain the true facial
lines is one of the chief efforts of the
profession in its present advancement,
and this shutting under is great art
preventative. A forerunner of advanc-
ing age is the heavy lower law, which
settles more and more as the muscles
of the face weaken and relax with
years. tendency which is long de
ferred if the jaw is trained to be held
back beneath the upper. Such will be
the case if the teeth close together
properly. Watch your children and
yourselves, and if you have been shut

forty years, begin to-day to reform

HOME-TANNED SKINS.
How Farmers May Provide Themselves
with Robes and Rugs.

How Farmers May Provide Themselves
with Robes and Rugs
Many farmers would like to use the
hides of different animals if they knew
how to tan them. The following di-
rections have been used for several
years, and have always given satisfac-
ton: Take one-half pound of alum,
one pound of saltpetre, five pounds
common salt, two ounces corrosive
sublimate and two gallons of water.
Put it in vessel that can be covered,
so that no animal can drink it, for the
corrosive sublimate is poison.
If there is any flesh on the hides, lay
them on board. flesh side up. and rub
with brick, or a dull knife, until it is
removed. After all the ingredients are
dissolved. put the pelts into the liquid,
and allow them to remain two or three
weeks. Large skins will require more
material, rs they must be covered with
it all the time. When they are taken
out, rub and work them, until they are
dry, when they will be very soft and
pliable.
Sheepslxins make handsome rugs,
tanned in this way, and dyed with dia-
mond dyes for wool. Prepare the dye
and put it in large dishpan. When
it is desired, shade, rinse and dry. The
center may be cut out of one pelt and
the border of another; where it is
necessary to piece it, sew the seams
from the back. over and over, loosely
so it will lie fiat. The center may be
of olive green, with border of garnet
OF crimson; or pink may be used for
the center, with golden brown border.
In fact, they may be made of any
color to harmonic with the room in
which they are used. Line them with
some heavy material. These are the

WHEAT AND COTTON.
How the Wheat Ra;sers Manage to Keep
Ahead of the Cotton Producers.

How the Wheat Ra'sers Manage to Keep
Ahead of the Cotton Producers.
The cotton interests have had much
to complain of during the past few
years in the way of shripkage in the
price of the f1eecy sta pie; but the de-
cliue.in price for the southern product
by no means compares with the great
shrinkage which has taken place in
wheat Wheat has declined fully so
per cent. in value, while cotton has not
lost more than a third of it's value in
the same time. if that much. And vet
there is no encouragement in the west,
norris there any report that the wheat
growers have been driven to bank
ruptcy.
The secret of the success with which
the wheat growers of the west are able
to resist the i'll effects of such heavy
shrinkage, in value as their serial has
experienced lis to be found in the sys-
tenn of diversified, orrather intensified,
farming which, prevails there. The
western farmer. does not depend en-
tirely on a single crop, but diversifes
his products and makes himself self
sustaining AS much.as possible. Wheat
thus becomes merely his cash crop.
and shrinlage in its value only
means the curtailment, more or less,
of his luxuries and comforts, without
threatening bankruptcy and ruin, as a
drop in cotton prices so often does for
the southern farmer
This system of crop diversifcation
and intensified farming is what is
needed the south, and If more energy
were devoted to this rather than to
continual extension of cotton acreage,
the south would be more Independent
of fluctuations in cotton prices.-N. o.

COATS AND SKIRTS.
Differences In the Cut From Those Worn

Differences In the Cut From Those Worn
Last Year.
Blue and black serges are being made
by some of the tailors, but the light
cloths are evidently the favorites, and
every shade of tan, gray and lawn in
the gamut of color will be worn for
street wear.
The skirts are invariably cut plain,
fit smooth over the hips, but flare
widely toward the hem of the dress.
The coats are cut differently froI1
those worn last autumn, having thu
skirts added instead of in one piece,
and are much shorter. For most fig
ures this cut is more becoming AMI
gives longer-waisted look.
The dou ble-breasted coats, tight-fit,
ting, with round and square revers
the revers faced with silk, are much
more "dressy" than the loose-fronted,
and individual taste can run riot in the
fancy Innings, which add greatly TO the
beauty of any costume.
These tailor suits are sometimes
made with double skirt, but never
draped, the plain, severe look being
the only allowable one.

ened up by a very smart waistcoat OF
scarlet with pin dots of white. The
coat when fastened only showed a line
of the scarlet above the revers.-Vogue.

NITRATE OF SODA.
Its Value rs n Fertilizer for Vegetables
and Fruits.

Its Value ms Fertilizer for Vegetables
and Fruits. s
Nitrate of soda is not designed as a
fertilizer for the large field crops alone.
1t acts benefcially on the small gar
den, and for nearly all of the small
vegetables and small fruits. There
are many garden soils where potash
and phosphoric acid need to be acted
upon by nitrate of soda to combine
them in the growing crops. 1t is diff
cult to tell how much such elements
are in any soil. and how mslch nitrate
of soda is required; but with a little
experiment one can readily determine
this. Ordinarily from 100 to 200 pounds
applied to one acre of garden soil will
answer all purposes, and most remark
able results are obtained. This amount
will not injure small fruits or vegeta-
bles, but will often make them flourish
better than any other application.
Strawberries often thrive on good
soil after the application of the nitrate,
although previously they seem to have
had a hard struggle. The same is true
of vegetables that appear to starve on
very rich soil. The trouble with the
soils of such gardens is that they have
all the necessary manurial elements
present, but they are not in a condi-
ton for the plants to make use of at
once.
In applying nitrate of soda to the
garden it is always better to weigh
out the amount desired. and then mix
it with fine soil or sand about five
times its quantity. Mix this thorough
ly, so that in spreading it in the gar
den an even distribution will be OBJ
tanned. The nitrate of soda deposited
upon the leaves of tender plants
might injure them, or it it came
in direct contact in large guam
titles with the stalks or roots Conse-
quently in applying it to any growing
plants it is better to scatter the mix
ture between the rows, so that no part
of it gets on the leaves. The next rain
that comes will wash the nitrate into
the soil, and the chemical process will
begin Immediately. 1t is a good idea
to hoe or rake the garden right after
applying the mixture, as the nitrate
begins action more quickly then, as ii
gets Incorporated in the soil immedi-
ately.
There are many advantages obtained
from the use of nitrate of soda on soils
that are rich with vegetable material.
but it should never be used on a per-
feet manure. 1t is the only supple
ment to the others. 1t performs its
best functions when applied as top
dressing when the plants are up and
