Shirt Waist Party.

From an exchange we take the fol-
lowing idea: Shirt waist parties are
said to be the latest form of entertain
ment in the east. They certainly must
be very practical and equally enjoya-
Bile affairs. Each guest brings III: mo-
terial for a Shirt waist, and they all
sew together, helping each other and
being helped The hostess furnishes
the machine, but each girl brings her
own work bag.
Different girls do different things
the best and fastest, and consequently
at these new-style sewing4bees the
spirit of cooperation prevails and is
most satisfactory. Fancy having some
poor deluded girl who enjoys putting
the little tabs and cuffs ON sleeves, do
ing yours for you. Would you not be
only too glad to finish her seams or
put the pleat down the front for her
in exchange for such services?
The young hostess will, of course,
serve berries and cream, or some 9th
er delicacy, for her guests and what
with the laughter and talk that al
ways accompanies the work when a
crowd of cOngenfal girls get together,
the afternoon is sure to be "a delight
full one.

feat ure of farming that we have given
very little study. We are in the habit
of thinking that any piece of waste or
woodland fenced and left to the free
use of cattle is pasture. The prac-
tce is to select those fields no longer
prof table for cultiva ton for this pur-
pose.
We have not studied how to make
Il good pasture. Our pastures are,
generally, what they make themselves
in spite OF the neglect and too much
stock for the amount of food.
We should select some of our best
fields; use diligence in destroying all
useless and hurtful growth; loosen up
the soil, plant the best grazing grass
es, with an eye to having something
growing all the year. Heavy manur-
ing pays as we'll here as anywhere on
the farm.
Bermuda grass will improve greatly
in every way if cultiva ted and ma
nured occasionally. BY sowing well
studied mixtures we can greatly in
crease the pasturing capacity of any
piece off land.
Now is the time to remove all briers
and weeds so as to prevent seed get
ting scattered for another crop.
Pasture Grasses.-Bermuda mixed
With red top and vetch makes acontin-
uous supply of food. But neither of
these will give very large yields upon
poor land. But if the soil be loosened
up and bone meal or land plaster used
freely, with a light dressing of cotton
seed meal once year, the yield Of nu-
tri tious food will be enormous. Each
acre will produce enough to feed
cow or horse and often more.
Nothing on the farm will pay a lar
ger profit or prompter returns than a
we'll kept pasture. At the same time
no thing adds so much to the appear
ance of farm and the general beauty
and attractiveness of a community .-

Summer Work.


hanging heavy ON some hands.
If properly used this period is very
valuable All the fencing needs look
ing after. This is the proper time for
such work Soon the maturing crops
will be very inviting 10 the cattle and
hogs and if the fences are out OF re-
pair, the more enterprising among
them will be apt to find the weak
places. Once they have succeeded,
they will repeatedly try again. This
is one place where ION ounce OF pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
The farm houses need a careful look
ing over. AS the days are long and
work slack they can be repaired at
much less cost now than next winter.
Every house should be made ready for
the crop it is intended to house.
The farm roads needs looking after.
Soon YOU will be hauling heavy loads
over them. Hence they should be
thoroughly prepared as to the wagon
way and particularly as to the water
ways. If this work is we'll done now
neither the heavy rains of summer nor
the long rains of winter will damage
them. 1t is very COSTLY custom
which repairs Or builds roadways in
the spring of the year. Now is the
time for such work.
Caring for the Tools.-As many of
the farm tools will not be used for
some time, they should be cleaned, and
all exposed parts we'll painted, and all
should be carefully housed.
The economy off this method will
never be fully realized until you have
tried it. Tools thus cared for will not
only last much longer, but they will
do much better work all the while.
There are millions lost throughout the
South every season by careless eX-
posture of farm implements.
Cleaning out bitches. is almost
universal among farmers to do this
work in the spring. A little thought
will show the folly of this practice.
Where bitches are suffered to collect
all kinds of trash and fill up more or
less, and remain so through the win
ter the soil adjacent lis soaked and
soured. Hence when the spring clean
ing comes, even though water is taken
off and blowing is possible, the soil is
not in condition to start off the crop
as it should. Much of it is too wet. 1t
is all cold and sour. 1t breeds all
kinds of hurtful worms. The crop
starts off slow and sicl1ly. Now, if this
work be done in August, and we'll
done, all growth and trash removed,
the surplus water from winter rain is
promptly carried away, and the soil is
kept dry When spring comes the soil
warpis up and the crop grows off
promptly and heaTthily. Again, the
vast accumulation of sand is avoided
The work is very much lighter, the
days longer, and the water warmer.
From every consideration this is the
time to clean out bitches.
Destroying Weed Seeds.-Every seed
of a noxious weed that natures ON the
farm may give trouble next year. 1t
is an enemy to the farmer. 1t is wise
to prevent rather than destroy weeds

THURSDAY. Jan. 8.
Although the stock market continues irreRu-
lar. the r%eactlonary tendency was not as pro-
nounced as IL was yesterday. As n matter oil
fact. the persistent advance in n few stocks In
huenced tho entire speculation by raising
doubts In the minds Of those who have felt
that the market was nearly ripe for a reaction,
and by encouraging fresh buying chiefly
through commission houses. Tho opening
market was adversely affected by the unset
tied condition OF affairs abroad; but untoward
developments there we're soon lost sight oil as
the list began 10 respond to a further advance
In Brooklyn Rapid Transit. to u fresh upward
movement in PEOPLES Gas and to the develop
ment OF unusual activity in Manhattan Railway
at rapidly advancing prices. The three stocks
named supplied more than n third OF an enor-
nous days business. The greatest activity
was in Peoples Gas. which, Mt a decline OF
nearly a point from the highest price. closed pa
p cent. higher than yesterday. There were no
new considerations affecting the security.
hence the movement must be explained by n
sudden appreciation on tho part OF the public
OF facts that have been known for a long m
past to those familiar with the property.
The same rumors that were current yester-
day regarding a comprehensive consolidation
OF all OF the Brooklyn traction systems accom-
panied the further advance OF 4 points to-day
in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Within the last
three days that stock has enjoyed a net ad-
vance OF 13.. Y cent. Yet the final price to-
day was nearly n point under the highest
record,d. The movement in Manhattan
Railway revived the usual reports OF a
trapsfer OF control Of the company and
NJ preparation to equip the elevated sys-
tenn with electricity. All OF these reports
still lack confirmation. The strength and
activity In Missouri. Kansas and Texas pre-
ferred was obviously due to the interest that
