aud little. fat, fchu-like collars ar
ranged around the shoulders prevail
among the new blouses as well as the
gowns, while raised embroidered knots
of silk form a charming trimming.
For instance, on an exquisite blouse
the white chiffon bolero, appliqued
with delicately embroidered wild
roses, is finished with bands of black
velvet embroidered with knots of pink
silk, and the under bodice of tucked
white chiffon is stitched with pink and
striped with the knotted velvet. An
other soft, fancy shirt is of white chif-
fon, wholly unadorned except for the
sprays of red roses with which it is
painted. Every ambitious woman as
pires to lace shirt waist nowadays,
and particularly splendid example
is of Brussels lace with wee bolero
of cream guipure applique, with
motifs of deep yellow lace spangled
with silver and coque pearls. The
neck and sleeves are transparent.
Tucked pongee trimmed Ewith lace
makes cool and useful blouses, and
very odd and stylish are skirts of
white silk with black panne applique,
embroidered with cream thread and
insertions of guipure lace.

Growing Parsnips on One Land.

II is moi practicable to grow parsnips
in succession on the same land, as
they are apt to be attacked by large
worm, which always comes in the sec
ond year and which makes such de-
structive work on the leaves as to de-
stroy the crop. Even when the pars-
nip is set to grow seed it should al
ways be dug up and replanted as far
as possible from where it grew. Where
a parsnip root is allowed to stand over
winter and reseed where it grew, it
shows the effect of winter freezing and
thawing, and also of lack of cultiva-
ton, az the ground is always hard
around it. Seed thus produced will
be worse than worthless for planting,
as the parsnip like the carrot very
quickly degenerates into a weed when
it is deprived of good culture. In
some places wild parnips and wild car
rots have become among the worst
weeds that the farmer has to contend
with. They are, of course, biennials, and
pulling them up when they are going
to seed ends them, provided the
plant has not too far advanced so that
the seed will be perfected after it is
uprooted. But that in grass land
makes long job, as the plants grow
very small and seed when they are
less than foot high.

experiment acre on his farm. This
should be of soil that most nearly rep

have neat fence that will turn all
stray cattle, pigs or chickens that
might chance TO get beyond their own
forage fields. The ground should bo
carefully layed off in plots, with walks
and paths between the sections. It
should be mapped and planned each
season before planting time, and then

Remsdy For Cut Niorm..

Those who are much troubled by
any of the several species of cat worm
should remember that they can easily
be destroyed by the use Of mixture
of bran aud Paris green, mOistened
with sweetened water, just enough to
make into little balls that are to be
placed by the side OF each hill, or
scattered Mt intervals OF three or
four feet apart along the drills. The
worms will eat this in preference to
the plant, and they will never eat
plants again after once trying this.
Each ball should be about teaspoon
full. One pound of Paris green to
fifty pounds of bran is sufficient. 1t
should not be put where the poultry
can get it, but poultry have no bust
ness in the cultivated fields.

AEaw Point. ON Cherries.

Standard cherry trees should be set
from twelve to twenty feet apart, the
distance depending upon the variety
planted. Fifteen feet is safe dis
lance for the common varieties to be
planted upon ordinary soil. Manellas
when planted on strong soil should
have at least twenty feet.
Cherries will do we'll when grown
on a sod and do comparatively better
under such circumstances than the
apple, still it pays we'll to cultivate
the cherries in about the same way as
the better class of fruit growers Guilt
*ate the apple orchard. In brief this
cultivation consists of shallow plow-
ing in spring followed by occasional
surface civilizations until about the
middle summer, when some corn crop
is sown. When this is high enough
first cutting might he used as hay, and
when high enough for the second turn
