THE FASHION WORLD.
A NOvet Walking Costumc-The Uni
YcFSaI Use of Fur

SeFSnI Use of Fur.
A handsome gown that is at one and
the same time suit for ordinary v,lk-
ing and for the coolest days has been
invented, and as a conscientious sort
Of fashion writer | make haste to ex-
plain just how such thing may be-
This suit is made in the form Of an or
binary walking style with satin bands
4 f1ounce and straps up the skirt quite
to the waist. These are about two
inches wide on the lower part Of the
skirt and one on the rest. The waist
is made as an EtOn, with straps from
the neck down. From the undcrarm
portion, across the back and down TO
the bust line In front the straps are not
sewed to the waist. Thus "A regular
yoke of black brOadtail is slipped i'm
and protects the chest and back against
the rigorous weather. This is adiusta-
ble and is a rich and handsome addi-
ton. 1t is mostly intended for a skat-
ing suit, though there has as yet been
framed no law against its being worn
for anything else.
The suit in question is Of rather
heavy chevjot, and the lower part Of
the waist is lined with chamoiS, and
sleeves of the same can be worn The
belt is of black satin like the straps
and fastens in front with very large
buckle There is much to be said in
favor of such design, as it leaves the
body free for exercise and is yet quite
warm enough for any weather we are
likely to have.
In the way Of luxury there was
shown today a complete dress made OF
that rather frail but beautiful broad
tail fur. The skirt was cut so that it did
not show a single fold around the waist
or hips. The bodice was in the form
of a short jacket, and this was bound
with a narrow band of black fur Of
some kind. The jacket closed across
from left to right and had three enOr-
nous buttons. \ fancy tab was placed

If woman wants to be right in the
swim, she must have fur everywhere
and on everything where it can be put,
Sometimes one thinks the use of fur is
carried little too far-for instance,
when we find row of it around q
petticoat No animal is now sure that
he will not be skinned to furnish beau
tiful woman with something intended
to make her more comfortable or at

FORESTRY PRACTICE.
Pure and Mixed WoOds-Somc Trees
Demand LiGit--Othcrs Bear Shade.

Demand LiGht--Othcrs Bear Shade.
A forest may consist of Il single spe-
cics. when it is known as a pure wood,
or of different species, when it is
known as a mixed wood. Pure woods
are seldom found. While they are
more easily managed than mixed
woods the dangers are greater, and
the practice is seldom advisable. How
ever, mixed woods of few species are
generally more desirable than those of
many species.
When different species are grown to-
gether, the light conditions demanded
10y each become Of paramount impor-
tauce. Certain trees demand full cX-
posurc to the sunlight and will not
grow in the shade Of other trees. They
are known as light demanding trees al
together Generally trees with light
and scanty foliage belong to this class,
although there are some exceptions.
The birches, pines, honey locust, black
locust. black cherry, ash and chestnut
belong here. Other species thrive in
partial shade and are known as shade
bearing trees. Among these are the
beech. maple, hemlock and oaks. If,
then. light demanding and shade bear
ing trees are planted together, care
must be taken that the former are more
rapid growers or else that they are Civ
en- sufficient start TO enable them TO
keep in the lead.
Thinning becomes one of the most
important operations in forestry. Here,
again. the light conditions are all i'm
portant and must be studied carefully.
1t is we'll known that tree which
grows in the open field becomes broad,
sturdy and vigorous, beautiful to look
upon, but useless to the lumberman.
In forest management just the reverse
of this type is demanded. The bOleS
must be tail and straight and taper as
little as possible. TO secure this the
forest should be thinned but lightly in
It's earlier years until the trees have at
tanned their principal height. Thinning
may then be increased, and these tall,
slim boleS will increase in size, making
the type Of tree most desired. BY this
method the annual layers of growth
will be more uniform and the quality
of timber better because the tree grows
less rapidly in its earlier years than it
would do under normal conditions.
Nature must be made to do her own
pruning in forest management, and,
like all other pruners, her work will be
more effective if done when the branch
es are small. When trees stand thick
in their earlier years the branches are
killed out from want of light while yet
small: hence no large knots remain to
injure the quality Of the timber.
Statistics taken from the Black forest
as to the number of trees per acre
growing in forests Of different Hg"S
show the averages to be about n fol
lows: At 20 years, 1000 trees per acre;
at 40 years. 1000; at 60 years, 100; nj
so years. 800; at 100 years, 80. The
number of trees per acre will need to
vary with conditions of soil, climate
and altitude. but these figures may give
a general idea of the great difference in
number between young forests and old
forests properly managed.

PERMANENT PASTURES.
flow to Make Them More Productive
at a Small Expense.


There are many sections where such
n thing as a permanent pasture is not
known. The land all being alike suita-
BILE for tillage, a rotation of crops is
the usual practice perhaps Of three or
five years, of which one year or two it
may be used for pasturage.
But here in New England, says
American Cultivator we have much
land that is unsuited for any other
purpose than pasturing and often
scarcely fit for that. 1t may be that
the soil has washed from hillsides to
the lowlands until there is scarce
enough to furnish root hold to a scanty
growth of grass and bushes, or 1t may
be so filled with stone below the sur
face as to resemble only a poorly
cleaned street with an inch or two Of
soil on the surface and sort of bro
ken pavement under it.
The problem that often confrontS the
farmer is how to make such land fur
nish summer feed for his stock with
out a greater expenditure for labor and
fertilizer than the food will be worth.
Many of these old pastures have for
years had their crops graZed off and
nothing returned but such grass and
roots as have decayed on the surface
or below it or the droppings Of the an
imals as they rOamed over the field in
summer. They are not lacking so
much in vegetable matter as in the
mineral elements Of fertility. They
may have n greater amount Of root
growth than the crop upon them
would lead one to suspect-that is, they
are what is often called rootbound, and
this must be remedied in the first place
by breaking up these roots.
A good harrow run over these fields
will do this, the cutaway or disk har
row being the best. but a sharp tooth
ed and heavy spike harrow will do
very good work if it is run over 1t sew
eral times Barely scratching the sur
face is not enough, but it needs to be
scarified as deep as it will allow, and
if 1t is gone over five or six times the
last narrowing will be of more benefit
than all that have been given before.
For the New England climate and
soil we think the best time to do this
work is in the spring, while the ground
IS yet soft from the spring thaw. Far
ther south or on the clay soils of the
west it may be done in the fall, but
in either case we would SOW upon it
clover seed in the spring, using ten to
fifteen pounds OF the small red clover
and about one-half that amount of the
white clover The coming in of other
grass we should trust to the seed al
ready in the soil of the grasses that
are already there, though certainly it
would do no harm to add blue grass
and red top seed If one feels warrant
ed to pay the expense.
We started to tell how a permanent
pasture may be made more productive
at small expense, yet we think that the
Improvement would warrant an ex-
penditure for fertilizer to the extent
of 200 pounds of acid phosphate or Of
fine ground bOnemeal and 100 pounds
of muriate of potash to the acre when
the seed was sown, and if the soil Is
very light this amount might be con-
siderably increased, or doubled at least,
to the advantage of the owner.
