There is an art in making good

The greater prevalence of droughts
as the country grows older is partly
owing to the fact that soils long Guilt
waited do not hold water as they do
when full of vegetable matter. This
is especially true where the soil is
heavy and has at some time been
worked while wet. It often requires
years of cultivation with winter freez-
ing and thawing to fully break up the
clods made by blowing when the
ground is saturated with water. The
pillow presses PARTICLES of clay soil to-
gether instead of pulverizing them. If
they are narrowed while wet the clay
sticks to the harrow and but little
good is done. If the soil is undrained
these clods will remain for years, as
the saturated soil freezes solid at the
surface and thus prevents the deep
freezing needed for pulverization. Fall
blowing is beneficial for land in this
condition.-Rural World.

A WORD OF CAUTION.

Friend IL You Are Wise.
Unless you are willing to run to
the risk of breaking the cordial rela-
tions that exist between you and an
other woman, don't recommend a dress
maker to her notice, for it isn't woman
nature to forget the origin of a botched
gown, despite protestations to the con-
trary. 1t will be readily admitted that
a dressmaker who suits one woman to
T, and who has always proved salts
factory to one patron may do nothing
to please another. 1t is always more
or less of an experiment, as
any woman knows, to try a new
hand at ones gowns. The best
of dressmakers often fail, just
as very often one-dollar-a-day seam
stresses turn out very creditable pieces
of work. and when one entrusts dress
pattern to hands unknown its ultimate
fate is a lottery. Enter that lottery
unadvised-if you would have no gnaw-
ing regrets-let your friends try their
luck with no encouragement from you.
if you wish to preserve peace of mind
and continued friendship.
The whole question of gown-making
is a vexatious one to the one who can
not afford to place it in the hands OF
an unquestioned authority and pay the
bills that follow. The woman who
knows that it is a necessity for her to
employ cheap dressmakers, to be her
own designer, to wear bodices with un-
bound seams and to put on the
skirt facings herself in order to
save the time of hired hands, a
new dress presents direful possible
ties that bring wrinkles and nerves
in their train. There are women who
have. settled the matter by patronizing
the really excellent ready-made gar
ments now to be had at any of the
larger stores, but when one is under
1--WE feet in height, and every skirt is
designed for a woman Ave feet five
inches, or when one is blessed with alb
normally long arms attached to mar
row chest, and even the sleeves OF to-
day, big as they are, do no cover the
bony wrist, the dressmaker is the only
avenue to approach when new gown
is in contemplation. And those of the
short stature or the long arms know to
. certainty that when they try new
pastures there are sleepless nights and
hours of worry and bother in store foz
them.-N Y. Telegram.

AN economical housekeeper who has
some fine damask tablecloths that are

them into tray cloths by cutting out

who are to adorn it. The former is

and then inquired, point blank: Why

"Was I under any obligations to tell

Doubtless to persons of a certain
