Woman's Eton Jacket.

The Elton jacket is a pronounced IA
vorite Of the season. The admirable
May Manton model illustrated In the
large cut is suited alike to the entire
costume and to the separate wrap, and
to all suiting and jacket cloths and
cheviots as well as to taffeta. but as
illustrated is made of black Kersey
in medium weight with trimming of
narrow, black silk braid over bands
of white peau de sole.
The back is smooth and seamless,
just short enough to reveal the belt
The fronts fit smoothly and are ex-
tended below the darts to form round
ed stoles, which add greatly to the
style, and roll back to meet the collar
and form revers. The two scanned
sleeves have fashionable fulness at
the wrists laid in tucks and stitched
and are finished with Follower cuffs
that match the revers. Round the en-
tire edge Of the jacket, and running
up into the back, is bias band of
white peau de sole overlaid with the
braid and stitched onto the cloth.
TO cut this jacket sfor woman of

six inches long and drive it into pins
one-half inch square. Drive a pin
where each post is to set.
Get mattock, the hoe blade of
which is three or three and a half
inches broad and nine inches long and
the opposite side with an ak blade four
inches broad and six inches long. Use
the AK and make mark even with
the pins to indicate where posts are to
be set. Use the AK again, sinking deep
on either side of pin. Then with two
or three vigorous digs with the hoe
blade, dig out pin and all, thus leaving
a hole ten or twelye inches deep for
setting post, leaving the sides solid
to hold posts from giving sideways. as
there is no danger of them going edge
wise. as the entire fence joins in sup
port. Raise post above a hole and
settle down hard. which will cause 1t
to sink still deeper. But eight or ten
inches will then be left for the post to
be driven. A few solid jolts from
twenty-pound post maui win settle 1t
securely.
To gauge the depth, use a straight
stick four or six inches longer than the
posts are to stand out of ground. Put
q gauge mark at bottom and plumb
bob on a string to reach near the
ground. Set this gauge three or four

II is warmer. but II no building is
suitable erect building of cheap hem
lock lumber. This building should
be made so that additions can be add
ed at either end without injuring the
other part. 1t should be built upon
dry ground, facing the south, and be
about nine feet high front, seven feet
high back. ten feet wide, and any de-
sired length; divided into rooms eight
feet wide; each room will comfortably
house thirty pairs or sixty old birds.
A window Is to be put in each pen on
the south side; also on the south side
must be the cages. These are made
twelve feet wide, seven feet high, and
as long as the building. To corre-
spond with the rooms inside, the
CuSt fuuSt De ulNlucu iutO cages eight
feet wide. Use regular poultry net
ting, one or two-inch mesh, and wire
over top as well to keep them enclosed.
The interior of the breeding house
must be fitted up with nests. similar
to chicken nests, but somewhat small
er. These nests should be two feet
long foot wide and foot high. A
partition six inches high must be put
in the centre of each nest, thereby
making two nests n foot wide. This is
done as each pair requires two nests.
When a nest Is built the eggs are
laid. and Immediately they commence
setting (the male bird taking part
also), and in eighteen days the eggs
hatch. The parents care for the young
until they are two weeks old, when
they commence building in the ad-
Jolning nest, and lay other eggs, there
by having eggs and squads all the year
round, excepting few months during
the moult. In the outside cage have a
receptacle for water. This must be
given fresh every day. and several
times day In summer on warm days.

Grass Seeding.

The difficulty Of securing n good
grass crop ON old lands makes the
work discouraging In many localities,
and. dairying has been entirely aban-
doned in some places simply through
this. Now when we confess to our in
ability to get fair crop of grass ON n
field, We practically admit that the
farm is ready fo- abandonment. The
grass crop is really an index to the
farm condition of the place. You may
be able to raise other crops for few
years where grass will not grow, but
this viii not continue indefinitely.
Each successive year the crops will
turn out poorer, and diseases will ap-
pear which are the result Of the i'm
poverished condition of the soil. Farms
degenerate In this way rapidly, and in
of a few years farming doesn't pay"
on that particular land.
When the grass crop begins to fail
on any field or farm 1t 10 time to stop
and inquire into the cause. There y
something radically wrong in the sys-
TEN of farming. Now one system will
not apply to all farms. We mus adapt
them TO different soils and md out for
ourselves what particular system is
best suited to ours. Take rich soil
filled with humus. and the farmer can
go forward almost any time in winter
and sow his grass with perfect conf
dence in obtaining a full crop. But
this method applied to a farm where
the soil : /, orn out and deficient in
humus would utterly fail OF all good
results. Moreover we need more seed
to an acre to-day than formerly, es-
pecially on poor land. not becauee the
seed Is poor. but because the soil is
not evenly rich. Some of the seed will
fall In barren spots and fail to manure
and grow. We must to-day prepare
our seed bed for grass with the utmost
care. This must he done systematical-
ly and continually. The poorer the
soil the more carefully must this seed
bed be prepared We must also ex-
pertinent with seeds and fertilizers.
Try different seed mixtures and find
out which produce the best results.
Then endeavor to improve upon this
by increasing the seeds In the mix
tnre that gives the highest results. The
name Is true Of fertilizers. We cannot
accept somebody else's statements IN
<1z1ls regard. We may make use OF
Qoofher's advice. but we must find out
III ourselves what fertilizers will
eeove best for our partieular soils.
