Tailor Made Pique Dresses-Some New
Styles In Skirts.
Sleeves continue to extend over the
hand in bell shape, points, squares OF
scallops, in spite of the warm weather.
The wrists are finished with one or more
frills of lace or plaitings Of mousseline de
sole or tulle: As the sleeve is tight around
the lower part of the arm it Is usually
necessary to leave the inside seam open q
very little at the lower edge to insure the
easy passage of the hand. This opening is
fastened by hooks and eyes.
Tailor made jackets now have the sleeve
made in two pieces instead Of one, as a
rule, since smaller sleeves are fashionable,

Early PlowinR For Whest.

Wheat needs compact ground, but
not hard or rough ground. The soil
ought to be made fine, SO that the small
roots can get their plant food, and this
fine soil needs to be close about them.
In commenting on the foregoing ]. M.
Rice, Oklahoma, explains in Farm,
Field and Fireside that in heavy or
clay soils this compacting will come
naturally and quickly by gravitation
and the action of rainfall. In the far
ther west the soil is light and loose and
the rainfall limited. He says:
To get the natural compacting Of
soil, blowing, as rule, must be done
early. If it is practicable to do 80, the
plows should be started as soon as the
standing grain is cut. Where header
is used this may be the same day, and
even where binder is used portion
Of the ground can be plowed among the
shocks at once. OF course with the Or
binary force Of the farm this is not al
ways practicable, but it would be best
if it could be so arranged, for the
ground dries out rapidly after the stand
ing grain is removed and is likely to be
too dry for blowing. With the usual
light rainfall the oompacting is slow
process, 60 the longest possible time
should be bad between blowing and
seeding. There are artificial means Of
oompacting, in the use of the roller and
press drill. We used both Of these in
the wheat ground Of the present har.:
vest, but early blowing was better than
all else

the Upper Mississippi Reser-
VOirS Soon Increase
the Flow.

The Mississippi river has been
higher this season than for several
years, and up to the present time
there has been no need of water from
the reservoirs to sustain the desired
stage at and below st. Paul.
Last year and the year before. and
In fact, for q number Of years past,
the river has been very low during
August and September, and even
with the aid of the reservoirs a SUI
fjcient level to nuke navigation pos
sible has been secured with trouble.
This morning the stage OF water at
st. Paul was 500 feet, sufficient to
float the largest boats which come
up from st. Louis. At the Poke
CANA dams this morning the stage
OF water was 1862, without the as
sistance of the reservoirs. Lust
year after the dams had been opened,
the stage IF water was but 4 OF feet.
At Sandy lake last Sunday the stage
Of water was 4.51 feet.
The government engineers will
soon direct the opening OF the upper
reservoirs, and there is an abun-
dance Of water to keep navigable
stage during the season.
While there have been no official
reports Of open gates on the reser-
voir dams this summer, 1t is known
by rivermen that early In the sea-
son the men In charge of some Of
the dams became alarmed over the
vast amount Of water accumlnting,
and when the river was the highest,
the reservoirs were opened. and the
flood increased. There was such an
abundance of water this year, how
ever, that the reservoirs we're easily
kept up to safety limit, and now
have an unusual supply on hand.

theoretically the use Of the subsoil
should pay in most soils. The settling
Of the ground. the tramping Of teams in
the bottom of burrows and the absence
Of much organic matter tend to exclude
the air from the subsoil. A thorough
stirring of this soil, loosening the whole
mass to depth Of SIX or eight inches
below the surface soil, commends itself
to ones Judgment. Granting this, it Is
q somewhat remarkable fact that very
4ew subsoil plows are ever worn out. A

There are, exceptions to this rule, but

Of the idea.
The idleness Of the plows oil over the
country IL no slight evidence Of lack Of
faith In their use. The difficulty seems
TO be that a subsoil that easily packs
