COMING TO TIE SOUTH.--"Therc
are slgns that the Immigration of
Northern families to the South, which
has been notably large for the past five
or six years, will be larger this year.
Western States contribute rs much to
this iiow southwark as do the Eastern
states. In the past six years the Hi.
nols Central railroad has located fully
$1,000 persons from The West along
It's lines in the South, selling them good
lands at low prices and on easy terms;
while probably 5000 others from the
Northwest have settled in Georgia.
Largely through this influx of North
crn farmers, agriculture is broadening
in the South, a much greater variety of
crops beng raised. Inducements to
emigration arc the fertility of the land
and its cheapness, the mild climate in
contrast with the severe winters of the
North, and the opportunity of raising
early fruit and vegetables for tho hbcr-
al Northern market. Some social and
political changes may follow this emil
grafton, but none are visible as vet.
competent observers say. After short
stay in the South the newcomers are
no more favolably inclined towards the
negro than are the Southern whites. D

CARE OF MEATS.

Warm Weather.

How 60 Keep Them Fresh During the
Warm Weather.
Meats of all kinds as soon as brought
from the market, il not cooked imme-
diately, should be placed at once in the
icebox. II it is to be kept for day or
two, it is best to wrap it up in wax pa
per and lay 1t close to the ice. II wax
paper is not handy, wrap it first in
cheeseclofh, then in paper and place it
near the ice, says Mrs. Gesine Lemcke
In the country, where fresh meat is
obtainable only once or twice @ week
and where there is no ice to keep It, it
may be placed In jar or bowl and COW
cred with sour milk, tightly covered
with a lid or board and set on the cellar
floor. 1t will keep thus In good condi-
ton for four or five days, particularly
veal, lamb and mutton.
4 piece of beef from the rump, round
or crossrib may be covered with vine
gar and kept for whole week. Such
beef is generally used for sour roast
or beef a Ia mode. Another way to
keep fresh meats in the country Is to
brush the meat over with salad oil and
then wrap it in brown paper and bury
it two feet deep in the ground. 1t will
keep thus in good condition for week
or longer. Game Of all kinds may be
kept either in the icebox or in sour
milk. Ham and bacon should be wrap
ped in paper and hung in cool, dry
place.
If poultry is drawn, it is best not to
wash it, but simply to wipe it dry In
side and place it on the ice. If ice is
not handy, it may be rubbed in and out
side with a little salt. wrapped in paper
and placed on dish on the cellar floor.
Covered with deep pan, it win keep
cool for several days.

A SIMPLE MUSLIN.

plotted, but it appears that bias folds
of such stuff as etamine and grenadine
laid one above the other over half the
dress are new, at least this year. Skirts
are cut with a decided flare, and all the
lower part covered with the folds laid
double, none over an inch wide. 1t is not
easy to get these folds to stay just as
they are put, and only an expert can do
It, but the effect when done is beau
tiful. 1t takes great quantity of goods
to make these skirts, and for that rea-
son they will never become common.
In letter from q friend in Paris I
find that at the great races, where all
the new and elegant dresses are worn
and the fashions for the season are to
a certain extent set, lace gowns have
the first place. A few of them are
made over silk of a contrasting color,
but the finest have the same shade and
color of lining Where there is any at
tempt to obtain princess effect it is
done by means Of narrow tucks run
into the waist line.
The corselet skirts are not at all pop
ular there, but the blouse and fancy
lhirt waist are. The blouse is capable
Of so much ornamentation that it is no
wonder that it pleases the Parisiennes.
One odd feature of the summer is the
silk paletot. This is long, so as to COW
er the most of the dress, and may be of
changeable silk in any light shade or
color, or it may be black. Some are
fairly covered with chiffon rufIles, and
they are ornamental in every way.
Hats are mostly the wide brimmed va
rieties, with many roses or black
plumes, like the Gainsboroughs. This
is so becoming a style that it is no
wonder it continues in favor for so
many years.

IN A GARDEN.

Some Late Paintings and Their Out
cOme-CeIery, Radishes and Beans.
After TIE early peas were picked and
the potatoes dug the land on which
they were grown was cleared of vines,
plowed with one horse pillow and pull
verified by means of the narrow tooth
cultiyator and one horse planker. 1t
was then planted to late crops, as fol-
lows: One-half row celery, one and
one-half rows turnips, one-half row
winter radish, one-quarter row spinach
and one-quarter row lettuce. This was
on July %. On the same day string
beans were planted in the space pre-
viously occupied by the early planting
of the same crop. This half row was
not replowed. The old vines were SIM
ply hoed off and the ground hoed over.
A few cucumbers for pickles were also
planted in the vacant spaces among
the early cucumbers.
For the celery furrow was opened
with the one horse plow, and the plants,
which had been grown in seed bed,
were set in the bottom of the furrow.
A few days after the plants were set
a heavy rain washed the dirt into the
furrow and nearly buried them. The
earth had to be loosened around each
plant by means of a knife. Not many
days later another heavy rain necessi-
tated a repetition of the operation. AS
the celery grew the furrow was gradu-
ally filed up by means of the cultivator
and hoe. When the plants were about
a foot high, they were handled" and
earthed up for blanching. The stalks
of each plant were drawn close togeth-
err and held with one hand while earth
was packed about the base of the plant
with the other hand. Then earth was
drawn up to the plant with hoe until
only the tops Of the leaves were left
exposed. Two weeks later 1t was nee
essary to again bank up the plants,
since they had grown considerably in
that time. 1t was then past the mid
die of October, and no further banking
was necessary to blanch the stalks.
The spinach and lettuce planted July
% failed to grow. The turnips did well
until about the LIST of September, when
the hot weather caused the leaves to
turn yellow at the tips and finally die.
The crop was almost an entire failure.
A few peas planted Aug. is on the
land previously occupied by early cab
bage made very dwarf but healthy
growth and produced small crop ear
ly in October.
OF the late planted vegetables the
celery, winter radishes, beans and GU
cumbers produced satisfactory crops,
so that, although some of the crops
failed, the late planting as whole was
not Improbable.

BANK BARN BENT.

barn to be set against a bank, the
building to be 81 feet high and 26 feet
wide. objected that the building Is too
narrow for true economy and should
be widened unless the dimensions are
unavoidable. The frame will be the
wing joist frame. with curb roof,
made self supporting. The rafters
should be . by G, and at the joint \
there will be piece Of by II solidly
nailed on each side of the rafter. The
collar beam at the upper end will also
be a help to hold all solid. The car
penters may object to this roof. Tell
them that 1t is old and tried and prov
ed and amply strong to hold any loads
that will be put on it by use of horse
fork or by any ordinary snowfall.
Never set barn against bank the
full height of the lower story. Rather
set it away far enough to make two
low walls, connecting the driveway to
the building by short bridge.

Clover Bloat.

Clover bloat can always be prevented
by keeping the cattle off the clover
while 1t is wet with rain or dew, says
Prairie Farmer. The usual cause of
death when an animal is bloated Is
congestion of the lungs from pressure
Of the stomach against them. The flesh
of such animal should be darker in
color from the stoppage of blood in the
small vessels than the flesh of an ami
NAL butchered, but l do not believe it
would poison any one to eat the flesh
of such animals. The best remedy for
clover bloat is to make an opening in
the upper part of the left flank with a
pocketknife and thrust the fingers into
the opening. Then the gas will escape
at the sides of the finger. Or use some
hollow tube to put into the opening.

A SWARM CATCHER.

graph wire is about right Next take
piece of burlap and sew into bag
shape. then sew the wire ring into the
mouth of the bag and fasten It into the
crotched stick so 1t will swivel. and the
device is ready for use. 1t Is well to
have on hand one or two poles of differ
ent lengths and two short straps with
which to unite them.
This device will reach a swarm 30
feet from the ground. The great fea-
ture of it is its lightness, and no matter
at what angle the pole Is held the bag
is always perpendicular. TO hive a
swarm whose queen is at large with
the bees. bring the swarm catcher
right up under the cluster and give 1t
a sharp jerk upward and the cluster
will drop from the limb right into the
mouth of the catcher Carry to the
hive and turn the bag inside out. and
the bees viii drop in front Of the hive
and run into it.

Gowns

One of the most attractive costumes
shown me this season was dress made
of cafe au lait yelling over crimson
silk. The underdress was not expected
to show only when the wearer wished
to lift the outer skirt to save it from
contact with the vulgar earth. Around
the bottom there was fiounce about
ten inches wide, and this was headed
by row of luxeuil lace in string col
or This over the cafe au lait made
very effective contrast. The waist was
drawn to a point in front and rounded
in the back, and there were several
narrow folds at the bottom in place of
Il belt of any description. The lace was
arranged to resemble a pointed yoke
both front and back, pleasant change
from the eternal bolero and figaro.
This dress was one of the latest impor-
tations from Paris, and therefore the
skirt was long in the back and shorter
in front than has been considered neces-
sary for fine dresses. 1t was not dress
to wear in the street, but for carriage
and porch and garden party require
ments. Yelling and the whole long list
Of transparent wooden and silk and
wool as well as thin silks are more
fashionable than ever before. The
woman may call herself happy who has
one of each kind.
Partisan dressmakers say that skirts
are to be longer than ever and quite as
narrow around the hips, but wider if
possible around the bottom--that is to
say, the founce at the bottom will be
made fuller and more fluffy. The light
tans and all the leather tints are in
high favor just now, and indeed moth
ing is better, for any color of under
dress can be used, and when there are
two or three slips of different colors
the variety of effects can be greater.
Many of the soft yelling gowns have
the Innings made so that they are in
Interchangeable.
White for pretty summer toilets is
still the fayorite and black stands next.
Black grenadines and lace dresses are
among the most elegant of all the sea-
sons output A black lace or fine veil
ing or grenadine gown can be worn
anywhere for any occasion.
I notice quite movement to bring
about draped skirt, and several new
ones show the shirred place over the
hips, which throws the fullness out in
very new way and a pleasing one.
Many ladies do not care to have the
skirt fit SO closely over the hips, and
anything which tends to obyiate this
difficulty will be welcome. The idea is
to have the upper part of the skirt
made considerably wider at the top,
and the superfuous fullness is then
gathered to the figure in shirs. This
is much prettier than the old style.
A novelty is rare in these days, for it
seems as if everything had been ex-

Professor Slingerland of the Cornell

practicable. although laborious, meth
cd is to hand pick or collect the bee
ties from their hiding places during the

meath the surface of the soil near the
base Of the plants. The removal of the
mulch would facilitate this in many
cases."
