YELLOW PREVAILS.

In Vogue.
Yellow is favorite color this season.
Notwithstanding that it is the hue of
jealousy, of decadent literature, of bill

the American woman has decided that

1t is not only IN dresses and Innings
of mantles that the Chinese hue will be

many shapes and shades. Ribbons are
as easily made of yellow as of any other
color, and feathers and laces can &C yell

White Varieties Make Larger Yields Than
the Yellow Kinds.
During the past two or three years
here has been more or less discussion
with respect to the influence of colo.
upon the yield of corn. At the various
experiment stations in the corn-grow-
ing states there have been something
like 1900 tests with nearly EGO varietie.;
in which the relation of color to yield
has been observed. The general av-
erage of all these tests shows that The
white varieties make larger yield by
about 2h bushels than the yellow VI;
rieties. At six out of seven stations
the highest yielder was the white va.
riety, and of the 35 varieties named as
giving the best yields at the different
stations "a were white and only seven
were yellow. the others being red. This
does not mean that every white variety
is better than every yellow one. but it
does afford ground for the belief that on
the average white corn is more pro.
life With respect to feeding value,
there is from the standpoint of scientific
ANALYSIS no difference between white
and yellow corn, but On this point chem
istry is at variance with the opinions OF
a good many practical feeders.-Farur

Wonderland, go.

Every year we have brought to our at
Gention by the enterprising management
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co. that
this system is the one that takes the trav-
eler to the Yellowstone park.
1t is well we are reminded of this, fo- in
our eager pursuit of wealth and pleasure
we lose sight of this wonderful region, and
of which we have such G. limited knowledge.
Great wisdom was shown by the govern
ment in securing this park for all time to
come for future generations, and the time
will come when not to have visited this
famed region before going abroad will be a
reproach.
Only think of lake at 5000 feet eleva-
ton, and miles across, skirted with noun
tains, with a steamer to take the sight
seeker around.
The Yellowstone park is rightly named
ssThe Wonderland and it must be seen to
form any adequate idea Of its beauty and
grandeur.
In seeking for pleasure trip, here at our
door is one that should be Investigated, and
every American citizen should have enough
national pride to know all about the Vel
lowstone park.

agent of the Northern Pacific railroad,

Directions for the Use of Tobacco Dust
for Destructive Insects


for Destructive Insects.
A reader asks me whether tobacco
dust should be applied tc vines when
they are wet with dew or when they
are dry. This moves me to say that the
tobacco dust, or the bone meal, or the
mixture of both, is not intended as
coating for the leaves, which would
make them poisonous or unpalatable,<
but as covering for the soil, that will
make the atmosphere very uncomfort-
able for all insects and worms. l like
to have the material remain dry and
dusty as'long as possible. In that case
it has more thorough effect on bugs
and beetles that have hard shells. The
wet tobacco, or tobacco tea, or even
the fumes of wet tobacco, are very
unwholesome to the bodied insects,
worms, etc. I find that cucumber
beetles do not like to work in dust,
ana least of all in tobacco dust. When
I put this latter inch deep Ground melon
or cucumber plants, the yellow-striped
beetle promptly takes its departure and
will stay away as long as the tobacco
remains dusty or as long as it gives off
a strong tobacco smell.
waste material is one of our best and
cheapest general insecticides. We can
use it both under glass and in open air.
BY all means keep good supply of it
on hand. Possibly you can get sweep
angs from a near cigar factory, or you
may buy the material by the barrel
at about $3.50 or three dollars. It will
last you for years and help you to keep
Inc premises clear Of the various pests
that prey upon your crops and animals.
L. you scatter tobaoco dust by hand o.
with bellows, over your lows of peas,
just at nightfa'l. you can kill the slugs
that are SO often eating all the lower
foliage off and greatly damage the crop.
Or il you dust it in the same way over
your currant and gooseberry bushes,
when infested with worms, you will
quickly see the worms disappear. In
the same way you can quickly kill all
the ieaf-eating worms and slugs on
your trees and bushes everywhere. The
tent caterpillar and the fall web-worm,
and all other caterpillars on trees and
plants, give up the ghost within few
minutes after coming in contact with
tobacco dust. And besides all this, to-
bacco dust is worth about what it costs
as a fertilizer. We can also control,
in a measure. at least. the most I'M
manageable pests of our gardens, name
", the flea beetle and the cabbage mag
got. But in order to make thorough
work. in Kidding the plants of these
pests, we have to be very liberal in the
use of the tobacco dust. For instance,
if we throw a good, big handful into
the heart of the cabbage plant or cauli-
flower plant, or on choice Seeding po-
4ato. we may be quite sure that the flea
beetles will leave, for time at least,
and if we apply the same quantity to
the stem of a cabbage Or caulif1ower
plant. we may be sure the maggots will
not flourish there for awhile.-Practi
