Trv to Look Well Groorned.

The blue stocking is with US again
and the girl who prides herself in keep
ing pace with fashion does so in bright
blue stockings that are about as pretty
as colored hose can be. The slight
fash of color as she swishes her skirts
is very dainty, and the tan bulldog
low shoes give her foot that thorough
bred, we'll groomed look that is so
pleasant to the eye. 1t should always
be the aim Of woman to look well
groomed rather than fine and fussy.
A lot of streamy hair and multitude
of ruftles may be picturesque, but she
who affects them is not so wholesome
and goodly as the girl in the shirt
waist with spick and span collar,
bunchy tie and glossy, well brushed
locks that are sufficiently done up not
to blow all over her face.
The common sense heel Is ever to De
preferred to the French lift that makes
a woman walk on an angle Of 40 de-
grees.
There Is really no excuse for girl
not putting up that clean cut outline
that Is so graceful to the senses. Shirt
waists are cheap enough and all she
needs is the knack to look crisp and
just out of the bandbox.-New Orleans

The termination of Seeds.

The influence of certain chemical fer
tilizers upon the termination Of SEEDS
was studied by the late Gilbert h.
Hicks and the results have been re-
Gently published in bulletin by the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. The fertilizer was used in much
larger proportion tnan obtains In actu-
al practice and at the rate of 1000 to
5000 pounds per acre, but it showed
that muriate Of potash and nitrate OF
soda when used in such large quanti-
ties were detrimental to the germina-
ton Of seeds whether applied directly
or mixed with the soil.
The chief injury to termination Is In
f1icted after the young sprouts leave
the seed coat and before they appear
above the s3il. Fertilizers composed OF
phosphoric acid and lime are less In
furious and not harmful unless used In
excess. The results Of the trial show
that chemical fertilizers do not favor
termination and that they should never
be brought in direct contact with ger
minating seeds. However, when ap-
piled at the usual rate there Is little or
no injury to be feared unless the seed
is dropped from the same spout at the
same time and covered up with the
fertilizer

Winterlng Bees.

If we wish to have bees in the best
winter shape, we must begin opera
tions early as possible. We cannot put
bees in winter quarters, and wait to
complete the job until winter IS on, and
havn colonies in the best condition.
We must keep wintering in view al
most during the entire season, and es-
pecially sc from the close Of the honey
seaypn, until winter is on.
The first thing to look after is queens.
The al zen is the all important factor
of the hive. and. to have good thrifty
colonies, we must have good prolific
ou.ers. Many queens are not worth
retaining in the hive, and the products
from the colony from the honey seas
on Is evidence whether or not the queen
Is at fault. So then to start with, we
should have first-class queens in every
hive. 1t is an easy matter now to Sc
cure good breeding queens cheaply, as
many apiarists are engaged in rearing
them, and they can be bor ;ht cheap
during the fall months.
A large number Of colonies will be
found without the necessary supplies to
carry them through the winter, and
from this cause alone many die tn win
ter from starvation. 1t is criminal neg
ligence to rob colonies Of their stores
to such extent that they are short OF
food in winter, and thus let them
starve. but it is frequently done. Bees
frequently, owing to honey failures,
need feed in autumn, even if they did
not furnish any surplus the season pre-
vious. Owing to bad season, that the
bees could not find any honey to gath
er, some will say that they deserve star
vation for not working better. 1t Is
just as sensible to say that we should
starve for not raising a crop when the
drouth cut of the crops in spite Of all
our efforts.

Growing Irish Potatoes.

To insure a good crop Of Irish pota-
toes either in dry or wet weather after
blowing the first time, cover the ground
with straw or other litter. 1t will keep
the ground moist and you will increase
the crop of potatoes with less work. II
your are troubled with moles in your
garden or potato patch, go around the
edge, dig down and find their paths;
put poison on small pieces of sweet po-
tatoes, peanuts or corn and leave In it
their road. Cover the pieces over so as
not to obstruct their passage. They
will continue to travel the road and eat
the poison until there will be no mole
left.

Pretty Feature in a Garden.

A sunken garden is pretty feature
In outdoor decoration, where some
natural depression makes such an
adaptation practicable. 1t may be
either a wild or a form"l garden. In
the latter case the sunken space Is
made regular and the sides terraced
down to it, with broad flight OF stone
steps leading down to the garden prop
er, which is a perfectly fiat surface,
laid out in geometrical beds and, II
possible, a water space in the centre,
filed with aquatic lilies; not q foun-
tain, but clear sheet Of water IN a
large concrete receptacle, the top Of
which is flush with the surrounding
grass. This is finished with a stone
coping, and the water Is supplied, as
it would be in bathtub, from the
house supply. with drain pipe to keep
it fresh. The lilies are planted In tupS
with what earth Is necessary for their
growth and maintenance. A sunken
garden, deep in its green terraced set
ting, with its formal beds all ablaze
with color, is lovely sight.

The Best Cosmetic.

"There Is no cosmetic equal to hot
water and a good woolen rag" says q
bright and rosy matron Of 80, who Tor
many years had used no other.
Every night and morning 1 give my
face thorough washing with piece
Of white flannel in hot water. Once In
o great while use soap, but not often,
as have found the hot water, persist
entity used, very satisfactory. If the
skin has not been exposed to a great
amount of dust the water may be mere
ly sopped upon the face at night, as
once q day is often enough for the
scrub. After the hot bath dash on a
liberal quantity Of cold water with the
hands, until the skin fairly gloWs.
This Is the cheapest and most wonder
full cosmetic known. A month Of such
treatment will transform any complex
ion. My skin is much fairer and roster
now than when was 20. l had natur-
ally a poor complexion, coarse and
muddy. l tried many remedies, but
they were very unsatisfactory, until
one day an old lady whose skin l al
ways had admired for its youthful ap-
pearance gave me her recipe. l tried
it faithfully, and before long saw with
delight that my complexion was clear

Arru,y Accomplished woman.

The truly accomplished woman Is not
the one who fits from this thing to
that, doing many things fairly web
but nothing perfectly. The truly ac-
complished woman was wise enough
long ago to write this down so it would
be impressed for all time upon her
mind: Better do one thing than dream
all things" And one thing she has
done.
1t is bit hard, when one is young
and all the possibilities of life seem
more than mere possibilities, and ap-
pear as things already more than half
attained, to pied on and on, with q
single object IL; view, and single aim,
and that to do we'll but one thing, says
a writer in the st. Louis Republic.
And 1t isn't only at work in art and
the higher professions that you may
find the truly accomplished woman.
She IL an accomplished woman who
sits at desk and knows how to do
we'll the work she has entered that
busy Office to do. She is an accom-
pllshed woman who stands behind
counter and knows the stock that she
handles and understands the art OF
pleasing customers. To be thus ac-
complished, you know, Is not matter
Of chance. She has given thought and
time to her work. You will recognize
the Indifferent worker after q mere
glance.
There are the records Of the lives OF
hundreds of successful men and wom-
en-, If you care to read them. Should
you, you will find that success came
only after a purpose was fixed. Sue
cess is never accidental. An opportu-
nifty may seem to come sometimes as
though presented by magic hand,
but of what good is an opportunity,
pray, if one is not ready to grasp and
follow it up?
If you are a woman and ambitious to
be thought accomplished-accom-
pllshed in way that is most creditable
remember that it all takes patience
and painstaking care.
Better do one thing. my dear,
than dream all things"

Drought and Culture.

The comparative success Of most
farm crops this year in spite Of the
worst drought that the country has
had for many years shows value OF
improved culture over the old system
of neglect. In nearly all instances
where the soil has been enriched with
manures and fertilizers, and the crop
continuously cultivated, the loys has
not been sufficient to discourage farm
ers. Indeed, normal crop IS report
ed in most parts Of tho country and
a larger crop than usual in others.
This looks very much as If we had
at least broken the grip and the terror
of the old-time dry summer, which IN
the west at least meant the loss OF mli-
lions of dollars and the ruin Of thou
sands of farmers. a good deal Of this
success in the face Of diSquietiDg
weather conditions, of course, is due to
the superiorirrigationm methods adopted
in many states, which makes the farm
ers almost independent of the Weath-
er. But irrigation alone could not 40
count for the change. 1t is the SUI
perior methods of culture that have
gradually been adopted in all parts OF
this country 1t is really the fruit OF
that campaign of scientific and intenr
sive farming which has been carried
on by the department Of agriculture,
the state experiment stations, and In
dividual progressive farmers for the
past two decades.
To sum this up briefly, It Is the ap-
plication of plenty of the right kind OF
food to the soil and then the cultiva-
ton of the soil sufficiently to keep the
crops In excellent condition. Soils
must be rich to produce good crops, but
waste of fertilizers is not what is need
ed. We can apply too much of these
to the land so that the soil gets clogged
and suffers. as it were, from indiges-
ton. Il is unable to assimilate the
fertilizer and turn it into fit condition
for the plants to use. The wise farm
er gives his soil only so much manure
as it can readily absorb and then keeps
the soil well-stirred to enable the rain
and sunlight to touch every part OF the
land and make them ready for pant
use. The cultivation Of the soil is Of
even more value than the fertilizing,
for in too many cases the mechanical
conditions of the sod are such that
neither moisture nor food can pene-
trate it nor in any way become an In
tegral part Of it. Frequent cultivation
of the soil alters all this, and helps
the soil to retain the moisture and in
times of drought enables the plants to
draw up moisture from the under
ground reservoirs. Thorough and con-
slant cultivation Of crops this past
summer has undoubtedly saved mil
lions of dollars to the farmers Of the
country.-W. E. Edwards, in the In.
diana Farmer.

Barn Cured Hay.

1t is a matter of experience to deter
mine when hay is sufficiently cured 10
put away in the barn. Some cure the
hay until it is as dry as chips before
storing it away, and others put 1t away
in q state of greenness that seems to
threaten it with destruction by fermen-
tation. A fact l have noticed that is
against all experience Of q careful ma
ture is that some will cure their hay
thoroughly before putting in the barn,
and only half cure that put In STACKS
outside. Just the reverse really SHOULD
be the case. Hay stacked outside
needs to be more thoroughly dried than
that intended for the barn. 1t may not
be easy to explain this fact, but 1t IS
one that has been established by long
experience.
Good hay is spoiled by curing it TOO
much before storing in the barn. Inis
is a mistake made more often than any
other in hay making. We have heard
and read so much about barn sweating
and fermentation that many dread 1t as
though it were a scourge. But barn
sweating of hay under proper condl-
tions, and if not too active and exten-
sive, is good for the hay and improves
it's quality. The hay comes forth Det-
ter in the winter, and it is not ut all
dried up and brittle, with all the nutri-
ment taken out from it. The sweating
or fermentation comes from the pres
ence of the sap in the hay, and the
heating pro .ess which follows drives
this sap out of the mass. In
passing through this fermentation IN
the barn stalks Of hay are gradual
" relieved of their surplus moisture
without losing any Of their nourishing
qualities. This fermentation should be
allowed to proceed in dry barn, with
the doors and windows closed. Ihis
old practice OF leaving open the doors
and windows of the barn where new
hay has been stored Is a mistake. Ihe
cool outside air then comes in anu
causes the vapor arising from the hay
70 condense, and wherever this con-
denses and collects on the hay, decom-
position VIII follow. Let the yapor es-
cape upward toward the roof, and'if
will disappear through the holes ana
cracks which are found in every roof.
The only real danger to the hay comes
from the presence Of water or dew on
the hay either at the time of storing or
by leaking throughthe roof. This mois-
ture will produce blackened, mildewed
and musty hay. Nothing can prevent
1t. Where there is any possible dangS
of leaks through the roof cover the
surface of hay with layer of straw
and the danger will be averted. But
so far as danger from sweating OF
properly cured hay comes one may
rest his mind in peace so long as the
barn is tight and dry.-W. 4. Farmer

White and Black in Millinery.

White-and- black arrangements are
particularly suited to dressy millinery.
Here is a picture hat covered with
white. set on in rather loose bouillonnes
over the brim, and in single putf1ng
on the low crown; the brim Is yelled
with fine black chenille, woven into a
simple lace pattern. The hat rests on
the left side. on a semi-coronet of white
velvet roses, and the outside trimming
consists Of a long black Amazon,
sweeping round from front to back on
the left side, and white paradise aig-
rette between it and the crown. A
somewhat similar hat, also covered
with white tulle and lined with the
same, closely drawn, is entirely yelled
on it's outer side with a plateau OF
black tulle, worked round the edge
with clusters of large spots Of chenille;
independent of this design are several
clusters OF silver spangles, with lines
of spangles stretching out round like
rays. In this case the trimming con-
sists Of a white and black Amazon,
the hat resting on black velvet bow,
with a small buckle.
Black chenille and floss-silk cord, in
terwoven together, form the upturned
brim of a round toque with a cerise
velvet crown. This crown Is low and
wide, and the velvet on the top is finely
tucked in circles and then draped down
diagonally to its base. On one side Is
a plume composed of very small black
cocks feathers.-Millinery Trade Re-

Quail Tanned and Bantam Gone Wild

Early in the summer 1 found q
Quairs nest at Tryon, Oklahoma, con-
tanning 1G eggs, which put under a
bantam hen, and every egg Matched.
The quail are now full grown and as
tame as chickens, and do not wander
far from the barnyard. But what
seems very strange to me is that they
roost with some chickens in the top Of
n black tree about 25 feet above the
ground. Another strange feature Is
that while these quail remain tame. the
bantam hen that raised them has taken
up with a covey of wild quail and re-
mains with them out in the fields and
wood lot and is as wild as they.-W. s..
