OF some plain color combined with
fancy silk. For instance, one of these
waists is of blue-striped material, the
alternating stripe being Of white, GOV.
cred with hair lines OF black. To
match these lines there is the collar
with little bow, the cuffs, and q
graduated box plat of black. Other
delicate silks, showing considerable
white, have the collar, tie and box
plat of white. This is pretty, but not
as practical. while the black is both
serviceable and stylish. This way Of
making waists will be found most eco
nomical in utilizing old materials.

Advantage of Square Fields.


Wherever practicable or at oil con
venient to have them so, it will be
found that fields of a square shape,
o. nearly so, arc the most economical
in fencing, and tho best, for several
reasons. It takes less fence to enclose
q given area i'll the form of n square
than any other shape, and next TO the
square comos the oblong. BY all
means let the corners OF fields have
right angles, unless there are impor-
tant typographical reasons for having
them otherwise. When field is
square there need be no short rows
in cultivating it, and the exact area Of
tho field is easily calculated by the
number and distance Of the rows. Thus
the farmor may know to a certainty
the quantity Of seed aud fertilizer
he 10 using to the acre, and how to
count the cost of plowing and cultivat.
ing any crop.
Also tho yield per acre, if he will
weigh and measure. And il the whole
farm is laid of i'll squares, there need
be no more guess work as to how
many acres the cultivable land con-
tsins. A farm looks better having
square-shaped fields, and roads are
placed to better advantage. 1t was
wise provision Of some of the States
to lay off the counties in exact squares,
and then divide the land into square
sections of GAO acres each. Thus all
farms in those States may have the
square form, whether containing the
whole section, or only one-half, one
fourth, or one-eighth thereof.

A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune writes that having been in
formed by one whom he knew to be a
good farmer that he had planted wheat
sixteen inches between tho rows and
three inches apart in the rows, ono
grain in place, and had harvested
sighty-four bushels to the acre, he
planted a small plot TO wheat on Sep
tembeY %, 1898, on hard clay soil
that was manurcd in the spring and
planted to Strawberries. Tho plant
ing was six inches apart i'll the row
between the strawberry rows. Two
rows ho planted ono grain to the hill (;
one row two grains 10 tho hill. He
gavo the wheat one cultivation on
April "a. The average number OF
heads To the hill in the rows planted
ono grain to tho hill was eighteen
large heads. The largest number of
heads to single grain was thirty,
which gave yield Of 2097 grains.
The row with The two grains to tho
hill gave an average of nineteen heads
TO the hill. The greatest yield was
thirty-six heads 80 tho hill, which
gave q yiold OF 2035 grains--sixty-
two less than the one grain hill. The
yield WIS at the rate of 106 bushels to
the acre, providing the planting was
twelve by six inches. ! planted a
small plct to oats on the same kind Of
soil on April q, planting six inches
apart, one grain to the hill, aud culti-
waited four timos. The yield was at
the rato of ITO bushels to tho acre,
providing the planting was dcne
twelve by ST.: inches. He has raised
as many as forty-1ye large heads from
single grain, when planted ak by
six inches apart one grain in a hill,
and in 1897 he had two hills of rye,
one Of whica yielded 12G heads and
the other LOT heads, each grown from
- single grain. '."l.o plants have more

FARM AND GARDEN.


Every farm, no matter how small,
may carry few sheep--half dozen
or n dozen--at absolutely no cost TO
the owner. Sheep consume plants
and fodder that other stock refuse.
They need no expensive shelter, ex-
cept in very cold, snowy or stormy
weather. Their manure alone, il they
are penned at night, as they should
be always, winter or summer, to pro.
tcct them from dogs, more than pays
for all the little trouble and expense
TO keep them. A little money for
spring lambs and wool comes in handy
early in the year. There is economy
in HAVING few sheep on the farm.
They may be pastured with the cattle.
Dut in any case, keep them near
hosa, end always under your eye.

An Old Fashion Revived.

There is an ominous rumor that
women are to wear gathered skirts.
Box-plaited skirts are hero already,
and while they we're not received with
such open arms as was the habit back
still they are being worn. 1t remains
to be seen if women will go back to
the fashions Of thirty years ago. Tight
waists are worn already, and it needs
only the promised gathered skirt to
make the picture complete.

DEATH CAUSED By ARSENIC.
Result Of Autopsy Upon Body Of
George r. Ruark.

George T. Ruark, an elderly resident OF
Anacostia, died suddenly about O'Clock
last night under circumstances which indi-
Gated that he had taken poison. Because
of the nature of his death, taken in con-
sideration with his previous threats OF
suicide. the coroner decided to have an eS-
animation made of the body. For this pur-
pose the remains were removed to the
morgue, where an autopsy was performed
this morning.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook found that
arsenic had caused his death, and Coroner
hewitt gave certificate accordingly.
Inc deceased was about sixty-five years
old and 1t Is stated had not lived with his
wife for long time. He had had no en-
ployment during recent months but 1t was
not necessary for him to labor, as his sons
we're providing for his support.
The police officials were told that the
aged man, who lived at 551 Jefferson street,
had threatened to end his life. Last night
when John Ruark; his son, returned home
ne round him in pallet on the floor, and Ii
was evident that he ILL DIR. Mudd

only few minutes before the dying man
breatned his last. Before becoming uncon-
scious he wrapped two dimes In a piece OF
paper and left them to be given to a son

REFUSE ON HALF STREET.
by Acting Commits
siOner for Its Removal.

Capt. Gallard, the acting Engineer Com
missioner for the District, has recommended
to the board Of Commissioners that the
refuse deposited on Half street between I
and K streets southwest by Messrs. Dag
get and Dugan, former street cleaning con-
tractors, be removed at once, the cost to be
paid by the street cleaning department, and
the work performed by the engineer de-
partment. There has been some controversy
between the street cleaning department and
the street department of the District gov
eminent as to the responsibility for the
removal of the material, which was placed
on Half street, it is alleged. in violation of
the contract held by Daggett and Dugan.
Capt Gaillard also recommends that an
effort be made to recover the cost Of re-
moval from the bondsmen Of the late street
cleaning contractors.

Newaboys to Form Union.

Arrangements have been made for
meeting of newsboys Saturday evening in
the rear of No. 421 10th street to take steps
