A Correction

We heard the other
day Of a man who was
deferred from visiting
Our store for a suit Of
clothes, because he
had inferred that fine
clothing was neces'
sarily high priced.
Perhaps there are
others like him, and
for their benefit we
would like to correct
any such erroneous i'm
preston That cloth
ing OF Our manufacture
is fine, is an unques-
tionable fact, but
observe some of these
prices.
Medium and heavy
weight all wool suits
for 3 en-, as low as
$500 and $1,000.
Suits for boys from
8 to JS years, as low

ments made for the comfort and hap.
piness of the owner. Many things
considered as improvements in this
direction by some have no commercial
value whatever in the eyes of others.
The Improvement added to the farm by
the owner, who must make his living
from it, Will often differ very much
from that of the owner who has an in
come from other sources. When the
farmer earns the improvements as he
goes along. they are generally notice.
able for their utility, and are fully APP
preciRted. But If built for show, on
because money is plentiful, they toe
often become burden.
In the older sections Of the country
the first Improvement should be in the
land itself, the ether improvements
following in course of time, as the
products of the soil prove able TO sup
port them. 1t is the part Of wisdom
to improve the soil first, rather than
put on surface improvements in the
way Of buildings and fences. The
former when once started is cumula-
tive, and in the hands of a farmer able
to make the start the Improvement is
rapid and profitable. The surface
improv ements are not cumulative i'm
value, but rather in expense. We
-.
as the volume of crops is increased:
on buildings erected, as soon as they
can be placed on the tax duplicate. 1t
is not unusual that these become Il
cumulative source of expense.
Farming will rest on better basis
when every man farms for the love of
it, and aims truly to leave the soil
better than he found it; when the far
mer builds the home on the farm with
the sole intention of occupying it while
he lives. Most farmers strive to have
bank accounts to draw Oh when the
iutirmities of old age ovcrtakc them.
This is commend0ble; but too often in
this effort their farms are robbed cf
/ fertility. Soil Improvement Is entirely
forgotten in the effort to secure the
bank account. Thus the poverty OF
the farm or the soil Of the farm some
times makes strong Iuroads on these
expected accumulations, with a result
ing failure of the expected bank ac-
count We find the farmer with n

FARM and GARDEN.
Method. Of handling Seed.

The methods of collecting and keep
ing the seeds are important also in de-
Gliding the success of the crop. Corn,
for instance, left in the crib through
the winter until spring, subjected to
alternate freezing and thawiug, loses
much of its vitality. Treated in this
way it can never be expected TO give
the best results. The choicest ears
should he gathered and taken out of
the crib before spring arrives. Then
they should be placed where they will
thorou2 hly dry before planting time.
Sudden changes in the temperature
will not then injure them. \ good
deal OF seed corn Is ruined by being
allowed TO freeze and thaw in The crib,
., at least the vitality is so injured
that it will produce unsatisfactory
plants.
The value of care in selecting aud
keeping the seeds of other grains aud
vegetables should lie understood and
appreciated. rs rule one can raise
most OF the seeds needed on the farm
but if not willing to give the required
time and labor 20 make them perfect,
it is cheaper in the end to secure them
from other sources where their relia-
bility is known and tested.

Gasoline and naphtha are the best
agents for cleaning silks where there
is any fear that the colors may be al
tered by soap and water. Do the work
N a room where there is either a
light nor fire. Have the windows
open that the vapors may pass out.
Use two large bowls, and half fill each
one Of them with the naphtha or gaso-
line. Wash the article in one bowl.
rs if you were using water, and rinse
in the second. Pull into shape and
hang in the open air to dry. The
naphtha may be returned to the can, and
after a few days, when all the dirt has
settled, the liquid may be poured into
a clean can. Ladies Home Journal.
