Agricultural Authorizations.

As compared with other lines of gov
eminent appropriations agriculture has
always drawn quite slenderly on the
public purse. The appropriations of the
past eight years show up as follows
In 1890 the appropriation was 81 ,669,7 no.
In 1891 this was increased to 81 ,796, SOP.
In 1892 great increase was asked for
and secured, the figure being $3,o2s,153.
This was again increased in 1899 to 49,
233,O61. In the next year, 1894, the
high water mark of agricultural appro-
priations was reached, the figure being
S3,323, 500. In 1895 this was reduced tc
$3,226,915. In 1896 this was slightly in
creased, the total being S3,303,750. Thi,

New varIetie, Of Potatoes.

In choosing varieties Of potatoes for
spring planting ii is advisable to select
those that have been recently produced
from seed, provided. of course, that
their quality and productiveness have
been tested and are generally known.
The variety that Is newly produced
from seed is generally more vigorous
then than it is likely to be after few
years contest with potato bugs, and the
blight and rots which all help to de-
crease potato vigor and productiveness.
But it is not advisable to plant potatoes,
however good, which are very unlike
standard sorts, and whose good quail
ties are not generally known. There
is so much difference in potatoes that
the mere fact that potato is potato
is not enough with most consumers to
secure market for it until after they
have given it trial.-American Gull

ton as the air is more and more COM
pletely exhausted from the vacuum
Tribe in which the rays are produced.
At certain degree of exhaustion the
rays penetrate the flesh and show the
bones of human hand in shadow.
With greater exhaustion of air the
flesh becomes almost perfectly trans
parent, while the bones remain Opaque.
With a still higher degree of exhaustion
the rays begin to penetrate the bones;
and with the highest vacuum through
which the electric discharge will pass,
the bones themselves become almost as
transparent as the flesh. Similar varia-
tons in penetrativc power can be pro-
duced by increasing or decreasing the
power of the current, OF by varying the
electrical resistance of the tube

A costume Of tan-colored satin and
olive cloth is an imported novelty. The
skirt is of olive, the lower portion cut
into square tabs and faced around with
three-inch bands of olive velvet. The
waist is Of the olive, with the arm.holes,
open square neck and lower edge OF the
waist bound with velvet; the open
square at the neck is filed in with rich
lace. which also forms collar aud an
outstanding ruflle. The sleeves nre of
the tan satin, and have peaks at the
wrists which fall over the back of the
hands. Inside of these peaks are
ruchings of fine lace.
There is a decided tendency in mill
linery toward elaborateness in the way
of hat trimming, Many of the new
models have brim at least half larger
at the extreme edge than would suffice
TO make a plain circle around the hat.
This fullness is crimped up and plated,
pinched over and twisted over each con-
volution, forming space for trim
ming of various sorts.
Separate collars of rich fabric are
worn with dressy costumes. One OF
these is square at the back after the
fashion of child's sailor collar. The
square sides extend over the shoulders,
narrow in slightly over the bust, then
spread 10 wide tab which almost con-
ceals the front of the waist
A novelty suit has n ruflle of en-
broidery set around the pointed bodice
at the back. The ruflle extends over
the hips, and instead of following the
outline of the point in front 1t curves
back from the bodice on either side and
narrows to point about ten inches be-
| low the waist line on either side of the
front of the skirt.
A new hat is so arranged that II rests
almost on the back of the head. The
front of the brim is rolled back and the
space over the top of the head is fillec
with fine flowers. The trimming is o.
ribbon loops and blossoms.
A stylish hat has wide brim made
very full, so much so that il is folded
into large plaits at one side. Inside o
these plaits are clusters of blossoms
and fans of lace. The trimming is o
ostrich plumes and velvet flowers.
A dress of tan-colored cloth has {
bolero of white satin embroidered II
gold. There are shoulder caps of th'
same embroidery and high faring col
lar.
Gold embroidery is extremely fash
ionable, and passementerie, made up o
metal threads, is favorite garniture

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.
The Man Who Knows How to Save
Wins In the End.

Wins in the End.
Successful farming consists in maxi
ing the farm pay, and it includes all the
little odds and ends about the place.
Economy is the first lesson for anybody
to learn if he would succeed in his busi-
ness. But economy does not imply any
thing unreasonable. The picking up
of lost horseshoe, q strap, bolt or
nut, an ear of corn that fell from the
wagon, fork full of hay that dropped
from load, is small matter, but n
thousand such items, if put together.
would amount to good deal and would
go long way toward helping man
out OF trouble.
To save is better than to earn. To
utilize small things is better than to
strive for what is beyond our reach.
The small farmer, he who has small
tract of land, may be just as independ-
ent, just as comfortable, just as happy
and quite as successful as the bonanza
farmer who tills acres by the thousand
A few acres well titled, with the many
small items of convenience and use
that every farmer may have as well MS
not, will keep any reasonable family in
comfort.
A farmer who is out of debt and keeps
out, that cultivates his land well, has a
good garden for his wife, has we'll
kept orchard and vineyard-no matter
how small, that raises some cattle, some
sheep, some hogs, some poultry, always
has fruit, meat, grain and vegetables in
plenty and to spare. He does not want
the earth, but he does want good
happy home and good name for those
TO enjoy who come after him. This Is
successful farming.-Advocate and
