FOR THE UP-To-DATE SUMMER GIRL.

tured suits were of this sort. Many such
are made with two skirts, one short and
one long, the idea being that when the
wearer wants freedom and desires to
walk, run or go boating, she can be suit
ably clad in short skirt. At other times
she can be lat least decently in the fash
ion," as one dressmaker said when she
urged half yard train to white lawn
dress.
1t is little extravagant to include white
flannel among wash goods, especially
when it is made up with long skirt, but
who could resist one like this middle
gown? 1t was self-corded for finish. The
simplicity and the material constitute its
charm. 1t Is suitable for almost any occa-
sion of the dressy early summer order.
Before voting it hopelessly extravagant,
remember that a cloth dipped in salt and
rubbed over a spot will almost restore
white flannel or cloth. Besides, skirt
really trained is easily held up safely out
Of the dust, while q so-called skirt that
clears never really does clear the ground.
Such a dress is made on white silk, but
the silk petticoat is quite free from the
cloth. This same design would be pretty
in blue serge or in any wash material Of
weight.
Blue serge may not have the distinction
possessed by some other newer fabrics,
but its usefulness for the present and
throughout the summer Is unquestoned.
Nowadays, too, II is easily made up to in
sure the look of gown made for style
and not entirely for serviceability, and
that doesn't mean that it must be elab.

reproduced in any Of the mentioned stuffs.
The first model was in white linen. The
material was carefully shrunk first, and
then the gown was sponged after making
so that the last shrinking was part Of the
fit. This is trick long practiced by high
priced dressmakers and tailors for their
fine cloth gowns. The gown was finished
by stitching in white silk. The jacket
went over fitted waistcoat, under which
was worn a loose white silk shirt.
Cotton coverts are much used for the
wash tailormades, and small wonder, so
attractive are they in appearance and
prcie. The new name sounds little bet
ter than the old one Of denim, though the
two mean practically the same thing, the
new weave being, perhaps, a bit finer.
The second Of these gowns was in heavy
blue cotton covert. 1t was stitched with
white and was made with all the care and
exactness that would be bestowed on
cloth. Its jacket was especially clever as
q compromise with the sheath back. Such
a jacket may be made to go with every
propriety over white duck skirt and
bodice. In this case the jacket was bod
ice, which was proved by the close sleeves.
Away with economy! A front Of white
was set in.
The shirt waist costume appeared a sea-
son or so ago and scored an instant sue
cess. Such are to be much worn this sea-
son, and the newest ones are considerably
elaborated when compared with the orig
inals. OF course, the perfectly severe
shirt waist, with linen stock and scarf to
match the waist, is to be worn with q
severe skirt to match. but some of these

rule.
BY the latter combination dresses Of
summer silk are made to look Z bit as II
the tailor had his hand In them. The last
OF these three dresses was Of this sort,
the goods being an India silk Of ragged
robin blue ground figured with lilac, a
very recent combination OF color. II was
trimmed deliberately with bands OF lilac
cloth stitched with black. One may not

was a very elaborate management Of the
shield or straight front idea. 1t is much
more difficult to accomplish this fat front
In wash goods than in elastic cloth, but
makers are trying to compromise. A wash
silk dress is wise provision. 1t will not
soil as quickly as do cotton and linen
goods-indeed. one can wear dress of
SIX all season, having 1t renovated at the
cleanser's for the following summer. Then
they are cool, pretty and do not ''muss''
and wrinkle as cottons do.

as 1t was the first season 1t appeared. 1t

suited to such plan, but large women
should beware.
1t is noticeable that all wash gowns are
made with long skirts. Alas for our COM

Tho Farmer Boys Advantage.

A sturdy American of the self-made
stock is Tilly Haynes, known the coun-
try over. He said In Atlanta the other
day, Of the degeneracy Of the Boston
youth of Yankee stock: Just look at
that sign on Washington street. The
first name is the patropFm Of Massa-
chusetts family which has been promi-
nent since colonial days. The second
Is that Of young German whom he
has taken into partnership. When he
dies the Germans name will have first
place. Our young men have begun to
part their hair In the middle, and do
not know how to roll barrel. The
young German and the young Irish
man can lift up the barrel and carry II
off-later they carry off the business,
too"
There Is a point here for youth In
both city and country. The world
wants workers-young men who mean
business, who are reliable and who will
develop capacity with experience. The
farmer boy has great advantage over
the city lad In being raised" among
surroundings that bring out this spirit
Of industry, that develop ability. The
older we grow and the more we see Of
life the more do we realize that the
country-bred man has a tremendous
advantage In the battle of life. The boy

How Ringing Affect. Grapes.

Ringing grapes is practiced by many
growers to secure early maturity and
larger punches. 1t consists simply Of
removing ring of bark from the bear
ing arm between the main vine and
the buds which are to produce fruit the
first season. This does not interfere
with the ascent of the sap, but 1t does
prevent the return of the food that has
been formed in the leaves. The parts Of
the branch above the ring can draw
upon all the food formed In the leaves
Of that branch. AS a result the overfed
punches grow faster and become larger
than they otherwise would. - N " ~

Moisture and STRAWBERRIES.


Although strawberry plants will not
thrive where the soil is permanently
wet, they do require abundant mois-
ture both during the. growing and
fruiting seasons. The hon-observance
of this requirement is the occasion of
heavy losses. In the first place, the
ground for Strawberries is often left
until planting time before blowing, and
breaks up In clods, occasioning much
labor In preparation, with harrow and
roller Although It may be possible to
put such a soil into fairly good condi-
ton for planting, the water which has
been lost cannot be restored, and weeks
may elapse before sufficient rain falls
to keep the plants alive. .tsI
1t has been shown that more than
1900 barrels Of water per acre may
escape from unplowed ground In one
week In excess Of the quality which
will pass of from an equal area which
has been plowed early and narrowed
at frequent intervals. Moreover, the
ground which has been plowed late
will continue to dry out during the sea-
son at a rate In excess OF the early
plowed. This shows plainly that
blowing and frequent narrowing are
essential In order TO retain soil mois-
trre, even though planting may be de-
layed. -Ohio Agricultural Station.

Good drainage. natural or artificial,
Is essential to success. Trees are I'M
patient OF wet feet
Good tillage increases the available
food supply Of the soil and also con-
serves Its moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground Is dry enough In the
spring, and should be repeated as often
as once in ten days throughout the
growing season. which extends from
spring until July or August.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed In orchards early In the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Even hoed or cultivated crops may

II they are allowed to stand above the
tree roots.
Watch a sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fail before you know 1t.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple or
chards are In sod. and many Of them
are meadows. OF course. they are
failing. f
The remedy for these apple failures
Is to cut down many of the orchards.
For the remainder, the treatment Is
cultivation, fertilization, spraying-the
trinity Of orthodox apple growing.
Potash Is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Potash may be had In wood ashes
and muriate Of potash. 1t Is most COM
monty used in the latter form. An an.
nual APPLICATION of potash should be
made upon bearing orchards, 800
pounds to the acre.
Phosphoric acid Is the second i'm;
portant fertilizer to be applied arti.
fcially to orchards. OF the plain SUI
perphosphates from 300 to 500 pounds
may be applied to the acre.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest
by means of thorough tillage Ito pro-
mote nitrification) and heterogeneous
green manures.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to or
chards; yet they can be used with good
results, particularly when rejuvena-
ting the old orchards.
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season. and crop can then be
sown upon the land. This crop may
serve as cover or protection to the
soil, and as green manurN-Prof.
