Tho Care of New Seeding.

1t requires time as we'll as plenty of
grass seed to make perfect sod
that shall cover the entire surface.
Whoever after the ground has once
been frozen in the fall, shall examine
the grass seeding of the previous
9pring, will be surprised to find how
little the soil is really covered. Be
iore the freezing came the fresh leaves
OF grass seemed to make almost a
perfect mat over the surface. But
under tho touch Of frost the whole
plant appears TO shrink to not more
than quarter of its original size.
This allows much freezing of the sur
face soil, and many Of the grass roots
are undoubtedly destroyed, as the soil
is alternately lifted by freezing and
falls back again whenever the hold OF
the frost has RELAXED.
A mixture of clover and grass seed
helps to cover the surface much better
the first winter than grass can posi-
bly, do alone. The clover will in such
case make n spreading head that will
cover most of the surface. 1t, too,
will show the pinching of winters
freezing, but as the clover leaves are
Drowned and fall on the soil they
cover the grass roots with just the
kind of fertilizing mulch that is
needed to make rapid growth when
sprlnStime comes. The clover will
also start into growth quickly enough
to check the weeds that are pretty
sure to get the advantage when grass
seed is sown alone in wecdy soil.

Kettle Crane With Dumping Attachment.
This iron framework for suspend

ing kettle used for boiling food for
hogs and other stock upon the farm is
most convenient. The iron kettle rests
in IA iron ring, which is piveted to
the side arms so that the kettle can be
readily tipped and its contents poured
out into pals. These arms could be
omitted by bringing the end support
nearer the kettle, and having the IRON
ring pivoted to n oross-piece secured
to these ends. This would be n more
stable arrangement but would not give
so free space for building the fire,
although this would not cause material
trouble. The principle involved will
be found very convenient, however
the ring, which may be made from an
old wagon tire, is supported. Now

BuylnG Cheap Fcrtilikerr.

1t is the natural tendency of farmers
when confronted with low prices of
products to save themselves by the
purchase of cheaper fertilizers, or by
dispensing with any boughten fertiliz-
er. But this is nearly always n mis-
take. The cost of the fertilizer is
only small part of the cost of making
crop. Labor is much more ex-
pensive item, and if the soil be not
rich enough, much of this labor will
be ineffective. As for using poorer
grades of fertilizers, they cost as much
to apply them as the best. In fact,
the more expensive grades of fertilizers
are usually in finer condition, and
can be easily made to cover large
surface and do more good to the first
crop. American Cultivator.

Tue shops are making brave dis.
play OF silk stockings for balls and
cotillons, and dancing slippers to
match. Now that the season for all
the large balls has opened my lady
must ponder on the proper thing for
her foot gear. All the articles in n
woman's costume must be in perfect
unison. a few years ago, it sufficed
II woman wore handsome white or
black silk stocking and white or
black satin Louis XIV. slippers for
dancing. In fact, for long time Il
black slipper aud stocking we're the
only ones permissible All this is
changed to-day and woman's foot
dressing must correspond with her
gown.
As rule, the slippers are made to
order from pieces of the gown to be
worn. The first class shoemakers
make n speciality of matching the colors
of the gowns and making slippers to
order. As regards stockings, that is a
different matter, and as the stocking
cannot be woven of silk the exact
shade of the gown, the shopkeepers
are Obliged to carry a very large and
extensive stock of hosiery in all shades
aud styles.
Some of these sili,el hose are per

fashion this year is very delicate
pattern of lace work over the instep.
aud lace work clocking. One of the
newest novelties shows clock worJ,
of open work lace which is fully two
inches wide at the heel, spreading so
as to show on either side of the front
when it is on the foot, and tapering
up to point on the side. This is
sometimes in a contrasting shade. but
the effect is pretticst when it matches
the stocking.
Blue silk stockings, embroidered all
over with tiny rosebuds, are another
novelty, and pale blue silk stockings.
with beautiful design in black
Chantilly lace over the iustep, are an
other favorite style this winter. The
exquisite patterns in the lace work de

and house wear are those of plaid silk
