would be much better off at the end
of the season.
One of the best dressed women in
the country makes it rule to put
away money to buy one good dress
year, and it is n good one. Little by
little she denies herself articles that
she thinks she can get along without,
because OF the satisfaction she finds in
the possession of something quite out
of the common. Among her present
seasons investments is skirt of good
black velvet, "all silk" she COM
placently murmured to herself, as she
put il on for the first time. A
shower of fine Jets over the front
of the skirt she made for herself
at very small cost, and with this she
wears waists Of various sorts. One is
o lemon. yellow silk striped with black
velvet ribbon, the edges OF the ribbon
finished with very narrow very fine jet
trimming. A collarette and belt OF
velvet, lined with yellow and edged
with Jet, completes q costume that is
simply regal in appearance. Another
waist is of pale blue chiffon striped
with darker blne velvet ribbon with o
silver embroidered edge. The collar
and belt, of course, match, and a
fringe of tiny silver-Gned beads with
jet falls over the front of the skirt.
The most stylish skirts are without
trimming, but there are many ladies
who do not seem to care for this, and
ornament their skirts in various ways.
In one model there are velvet flowers
appliqued on in lines down the edges
of the plaits, in others there are very
full rose ruchings at the foot of the
skirt. Others have embroidered
edges with fine beads and heavy cord
silk. Embroidery of oil sorts is some
times seen on skirts, but this is merely
for variety and is not considered the
extreme OF fashion.
All of the ornamentation is concen.
trated on the Waist, and certainly
there Is quite enough of 1t. Never
has there been such an evident effort
to overdo all reason and sense as APP
pears in the present styles. A concert
waist has enormous sleeves shaped
like beer kegs. Around the neck il a
collar made Of braided velvet. From
this there are clusters OF loops pro.
iecting on either side. Below this
collar is yoke edged with wide vel.
vet ribbon, with very large bows on
the shoulders, and below this is fall
of lace that extends to the waist-line
in front, and covers the tops OF the
voluminous sleeves. The distance
between the outer edges of these
sleeves, with this enormous frill over
them, is almost incredible. 1t is i'm
possible for the wearer to pass through
an ordinary y-sized door without touch
ing tho castings on either hand. This
waist is worn with skirt of satin with
velvet belt and long ends, and large
velvet bows set at intervals ON the
waist.

FERTILITY FOR APPLE ORCHARDS.

rENliLlI1 FDR AIPLE ORCHANDS.
Mineral fertilizers are what orchards
mostly need, especially on long-culti-
waited ground. But there are some
varieties of apple that are such feeble
growers that t'ey nre all the better for
the stimulation of some nitrogenous
fertilizer. The Spitzenberg Is one of
these varieties. 1t is quite possible
thnt stable manure fermenting in the
soil may generate too much nitrogen
in warm weather and not enough in
early spring. 1t is this wide variation
iu amount of fertility at different
times of yenr that has probably much
to do with the increase of diseases in
the foliage of fruit. When stable ma
nure is applied to orchards it should
be well composted. A very little will
then be better than larger amount of
coarse stable manure. The finely-de-
composed manure starts an early and
healthy growth. BY midsummer the
tree has used up this fertility. Then
comes the check to growth Mt the right
time to form fruit bud, for next sea-
sons bearing. Boston Cultivator.

ARTIFICIAL WATERING.

by the prolonged drought OF the past

Poets and the Nightingale.

Most of the poets who have sung
the praises of the nightingale are said
to make two mistakes about the bird.
In the first place they write as if it
were the hen bird that was the beauti-
full singer; and, in the second, nearly
all of them represent "her" as singing
either on the topmost bough or upon
the wing. OF course, as folks who are
not poets know, the facts are quite
otherwise. 1t is the male bird that
causes the woods to resound with
melody, and his favorite perch is a low
twig close to the ground, his song be-
ing addressed to his mate as she sits on
the eggs. After the young have been
hatched, the song ceases, the energy Of
the vocalist being all taken up in pro-
viding for the wants of the nestlings.

Sell your surplus now, especially
your cockerels and older stock, which
you do not intend to keep. Make
room for only such birds as you wish
to retain for laying purposes and
