have designed so beautiful a skating
costume for herself 1t was not so
very elaborate, yet it was the prettiest
thing that the snowbirds have seen.
The gown itself was a blue serge,
rather coarse. and made upon the most
simple lines. with the waist coming
to long point in the front. It was
trimmed with bands of Persian lamb,
put on in irecian design around the
skirt. The waist had broad lapels of
the lamb and the collar was a square
one of the fur. The muff was of Per-
sian laml, lined with the most brill
liant scarlet satin. A piece of the same
scarlet satin formed the vest, which
was absolutely startling in its bril-
liancy. The standing collar was of the
same satin, made in perfectly plain

velvet, with baggy crown. At each

II needs little argument to prove that
/ the enemies Of cultivated plants are
steadily increasing. and think it can
be easily shown that they will continue
to increase so long as the conditions,
for which we are in large part respon-
slbie, remain as they are at present.
DO not by any means regard this as a
calamity. On the contrary, look upon
the fact that our insect and rungous
foes are increasing as direct proof that
we are progressing, for. as Professor
Bailey has said, Our enemies increase
because cultivation induces change Of
habits in wild organisms; because it
presents an ever-increasing variety OF
food, or host plants; because the food
supply is large and in more or less
continuous areas: and finally, because
the natural equilibrium, or tension. IS
destroyed 1t follows, therefore, that
the more we put forth our energies TO
improve our native plants or to change
their habits; the more we endeayor TO
increase the variety and number of our
cultivated vines, trees, and shrubs; the
more we extend our orchards, our vine
yards, and our fields, just so much
more do we disturb the equilibrium in
nature, and just so much more must
we expect TO burden ourselves with
the work of maintaining this unstable
condition by more or less artificial
means. Where an insect or fungus had
one chance hundred years ago TO wax
strong and spread, it has now thou
sand chances, for unbroken orchards
and vineyards and millions of nursery
trees cover the country where then
only wild plants grew. 1t is but nat
ural, then, that man, seeing the On
ward march of his enemies, should look
about him and wonder how it will all
end, and how he, as an individual is
TO obtain relief In many cases he has I
found way Of doing this by adopting
certain more or less empirical meth
DDS. Again, with fuller appreciation
Of the fundamental principles underly-
ing plant growth, he has learned, part
ly by intuition, to keep his plants ia
health, and when he has reached this
stage he stands far in advance of has
neighbor who waits until his plants are
diseased and then begins to look about
Tor a spraying apparatus.-B. T. Gal

MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
ACRICULTURALIST.
Some Up-to-Date Hints About CuItiva-
ton of the Soil and Yields Thereof
Horticulture. yitieuIture and FIori-
culture.



Indiana Experiment Stat.on:-The
increased interest in the sugar beet
question has brought TO the expert
ment station an unusually large num-
Der of samples of sugar beets from all
sections of the state. Some OF the
beets were raised from seed furnished
{ by the station and some from seed OBJ
tanned from other sources. In the case
/ OF the seed sent out from the station
full working directions were furnished.
In most cases these directions were not
| followed, although those who requested
free seed agreed to fully follow WORK
ing directions. The most essential
preliminary to raising good sugar Deets
is the proper preparation Of the SEED
bed. The ground should be stirred 10
depth of at least 16 inches. The best
way to accomplish this is to turn a fur
row about eight inches deep with
common plow and follow with sub
soil plow in the bottom of the furroW.
Very few farmers who tried raising
beets, report that they used a suDsoll
ploW or any other implement for STIR
ring the soil to a greater depth tnan
eight inches. The result of this is seen
in many of the samples received. IN
stead Of single tap root there are
number Of small roots, and instead OF
the beet growing well under ground,
il extends so far above ground that
nearly one-half of its weight is useless
for sugar making purposes. Both these
defects can be corrected by deep plow-
ing and subsoiling. 1t is much better
to do this blowing and subscribing III
the fall. We therefore advise all those
who intend to experiment with sugar
beets the next year or who intend 10
raise them for any purpose, to ploW
the land now, and be ready to plant as
early as the season will permit IN the
spring. This early planting is a great
advantage on the moderately ngnt
lands that are best adapted for sugar
beets since it advances the crop to
stage where it can better Withstand the
usual dry summer season.
In the distribution Of seed in the
spring. the station will give preference
to those who have land properly pre-
pared. If farmers intend to try the |
raising of sugar beets it is of the ut
most Importance that the work be
properly done in every respect. For
every test not properly conducted and
giving beets of poor quality is not
simply useless; it is directly injurious
since it seems to indicate that the To-
eality is not adapted for beet culture.
Badly conducted tests may be the
means of keeping beet factories away
rom localities that are really well suit
ID for the business. They will GER
ainly never be the means of inducing
capitalists to invest money in factories
n any locality.
The first step in the right direction
S proper blowing and this can and
ought to be done at once.

Frozen MIX Industrr.

In Sweden and Denmark" so says
Laiterie France), has been created q
new industry that deserves notice. Ii
consists in collecting at a central sta
ton the milk from farms within q
given radius, pasteurizing it at rs de-
grees c Q67 degrees F., and ther
freezing il at the temperature Of 10 de-
grees IA degrees FL. The blocks OF
frozen milk are placed in stout wooden
casks holding about double the volume
Of the blocks, and the extra space is
filed with sterilized milk, after which
the casks are Theoretically sealed. AS
they are perfectly full and kept cool
by the block of frozen milk, which
melts very slowly, the shocks OF trans
portation are powerless TO churn the
milk into butter, and thus il may be
at least twenty days, so that
the Danes and Swedes are now sending
successfully to their neighbors, and
even TO England, whole cargoes of milk.
We shall soon see, doubtless. Norway

ports. Here is indicated q means OF
utilizing profitably our French milk,

Matchmaking in France.

The theory of the philosophy of love
and marriage is radically different in
France and America. In this coun-
try the fundamental idea is an unac-
countable and irrational attraction
which presumably can arise but
once in a lifetime and can be felt only
for a single person among the thou
sands met in the course of early life.
This theory is a sort of survival of the
love science of chivalry, tempered by
a Renaissance of Plato's doctrine that
souls were sent into this world in pairs
and circulated in this mundane sphere
disconsolate until the "coequal and
harmonious" mates happened to
meet" When they did meet each rec
ognized in the other a homogeneous
fire" AS a matter of CT urse we do
not carry the doctrine rigidly into
practice, but that is our underlying
theory of what love between the sexes
is.
The French theory is that any two
people of similar station in life. of
similar tastes. habits and general ideas
can love one another and be happy IN
married life and grow more used to one
another and happier as years pass.

II it should prove to be genuine it
would certainly be embarrassing for
Senior Dupuy de LONE, and would have
tendency TO make relations between
this government and Spain more
strained than they are; it certainly
would if the recall of the minister were
asked by the state department. Mr.
cleveland handed Sir Lionel Sackville
West his passport when the authentic
ity of the Murchison letter was estab-
lished, and that was a private and con-
fidential letter so far IS Sir Lionel was
concerned, though he was played upon
to write it. That letter was not so Sc

bound TO cause u good deal of COM

gress, and this alone may force the ad-
ministration to take official notice
Of it.
RepI sentative Su,zer's resolution was
entirely uncalled for as the letter is a
matter for the executive department to
deal with and it was a good thing it
was cut of by a demand for the regu-
lar order. He was so anxious to hand

could not wait to find out whether the
