SHIRT WAIST LINENS.
Light and Serviceable Materials
That Are in Favor for the
Present Season.

Nothing in dress is much more dain-
ty than the shirt waist in sheer linens
and batistes and fine, thin silks so pref
tily embroidered and hemstitched.
Shirt waists of some sort have be-
come one of the necessities of dress,
and now they have grown into shirt
waist suits, making a distinctive cos
tune quite apart from any other style
of dress. These are blossoming out IN
some different material from time to
time and you see them in foulard.
chambrays, madras, dimities, tatfeta
silks, mercerized cheviots, and more
than all in linens, says a fashion au-
thority.
This is a most useful costume, an
swering many purposes-for traVet-
ing, outdoor sports and general morn
ing wear-and apparently it has some
significance beyond usefulness, mas
much as it shows the tendency TO-
ward entire gowns, instead OF the
separate waist. which is entirely dit
ferent in material from the skirt.
However, it is simply another way
of trying to Dust the separate waist.
Many plans have been tried before,
but with no results, except to cause
women to put a higher value upon its
advantages.
In place of the flannel waist worn
in cool mornings, there are some
pretty dotted velveteen blouses. The
material is very light weight and has
a sort of pressed finish which gives it
a gloss.
These waists must be made by
men if you would have them smart,
vet women are not 20 be ignored in
this class of work, as the men waist
makers are not imallible, by any
means.
Women with plenty of money to
spend on clothes have a fad for col
Letting odd waists, and buy any
thing and everything which strikes
their fancy just to crafty their de-
sire for pretty things. And this is
no small item of expense, since the
waists may cost anywhere from five
dollars to SIS for the dainty hand-em-
broidered cobwebby things brought
over from Paris. Much of the EN-
broidery is done here, however, but
that does not lessen the price much,
if any at all.
The fad of last season for en-
broidered monographs on the left side
of the bust is revived again, and a
very popular one it is among those
who care to have something indi-
vidual about their waists. Colored
floss is used on the white waists, and
young women sometimes have their
monograms embroidered in black.
For some unaccountable reason
they affect oblack and white very
much this season in the costumes and
hats as well. Perhaps it is the only
way they can achieve any youthful
distinction in dress, as the older
women have appropriated all the col
ors to their use. But whatever may
be the motive, it is a fact that black
and white is conspicuous in the
young girls summer outfits.

A WAY TO KILL MOTHS.
BY Which Blankets, Furs and WOOL
ems May BE Preserved for
the Summer

Moth protection is much more than
half accomplished when a garment
is brushed free from dust, stains,
spots and any soil removed, and every
fold and seam scanned closely for a
deposit of moth eggs. If it can be
made sure that none of the latter are
in the garment, it is easy and cheap
finishing the cleansing and inspect
ing treatment, slip the garment into
a bag made of calico or muslin, that
will hold it easily, and that has not
the smallest break or tear, says the
New York Post. Close the opening
sewing machine and lay away on a
shelf or in a trunk, as preferred. A
housekeeper who has kept blankets,
furs and clothing year in and year
out in this way, here in moth-infest-
ed New York, gives this as her ad.
vice, after her long and successful
experience. Sometimes" she says,
Il dip a cloth in turpentine and drop
it in the bag with my blankets, and
| always go over the closet shelves,
or the trunk, or the bureau drawer
in which l pack away this bagged
clothing, etc, with a brush dipped in
turpentine. Moths won't eat cotton
or linen, and if you RI very careful
to keep them put of the garment till
it is into the bag, they + out for
the summer. Don't use c~heesecloth
for the bags; it is too sleazy. Use
any clean firm cotton or linen mate
rial. Old pillow cases that are not
broken or worn through anywhere
are useful for the purpose. Many
things accumulate in the house that
may be used, light silesia dress lin
ings, faded chambray, percale, or
linen dress skirts, and the like. I
have such articles ripped and washed,
and made into straight bags of va
rious sizes. These accumulate in my
linen closet ready for the spring
packing away"

CLOVER IN ROTATION.
Now Coming to Be Veil
Understood.

The value of clover in rotation is
now we'll understood. 1t supplies fer
tilizer nitrogen almost free of cost.
In fact, but for this free nitrogen,
on many farms the usual wheat-clov-
er-timothy-corn rotation could not be
followed with profit. For example.
a 80-bushel corn crop uses 40 pounds
of nitrogen, which as fertilizer, costs
about SIG, or over 26 cents per BUSH
ell of corn. At this rate, it would take
dollar corn to make a profit. Clover,
of course, follows wheat, though it
is a very rare thing for fertilizers to
be applied to the wheat in sufficient
quantities for the wheat itself, and
the clover is expected to make the
most of what it can scrape together.
A crop of wheat, say an extra good
one, uses about 81 pounds of nitro
gen, 80 pounds of potash and 25
pounds of phosphoric acid; the fer
tilizer used was most probably 600
pounds per acre of a fertilizer test
ing Q per cent. ammonia, s per cent.
phosphoric acid and / per cent. pot
ash; that is, II pounds of ammonia,
As pounds Of phosphoric acid, and 6
pounds of potash. Hence the clover
starts off with a soil stripped bare
of nitrogen and potash, but contain
ing a little available phosphoric acid.
But the clover family is essentially
a potash fertilization group of plants,
and without this potash, can not

wheat crop has drawn upon the nat

good clover crop needs about 16s
pounds more. Where is it to come
from?
As a matter of fact, on most

sort of soil starvation is: Glover
Sickness" 1t is quite plainly shown
above why clover it apt to be short
of potash when it follows wheat, es-
pecially in soils manv years under
the pillow. There is nothing intricate
in any farmers working out this
problem on his own account. The
plain fact is hat commercial ferti-
lizers are designed for single crop
ping years, and quite properly So,
too. As for clover succeeding wheat,
there are no soil-tillage operations.
Most farmers neglect fertilization on
that account alone. If a soil is well
worn as soon as the wheat Is off, a
top dressing amounting to IT'S to 200
pounds of actual potash should be
b~roadcasted per acre, that is, $50 to
400 pounds of muriate of potash, and
even this leaves nothing for the tim
othy for the second hay year.-Geo.

HERE AND THERE.

When our farmers generally be-
come a reading people. they will get
to thinking and then they will join
the procession that is marching for
ward.
If our farmers were well organ
lied in every community they could
save hundred of thousands of dollars
annually in the single article of COM
mercial fertilizers.
Don't encourage ~laziness on the
part of chickens by giving them all
the food they can eat. Make it nee
essary for them to forage and the
exercise will do them good.
If farmer would take one good
breed of fowls and carefully study
their characteristics they would
make double the profit than if they
keep trying to originate some new
breed.
We must dismiss the old folly Of
supposing that our education is COM
plete when we leave the school-room.
1t is only fairly begun. True educa-
ton is the knowledge we obtain from
daily experience.
Where one has sufficient range
there is no feathered fowl more prof
liable than the Bronze turkey. They
are, however. great wanderers and
sometimes cause much annoyance by
straying off and not coming back.
A cement floor is best for poul-
try houses. Naked earth is nearly as
good, but more difficult to keep clean.
Earthern floors should be filled in UNI
til six inches higher than the general
surface to ecure drainage and keep
dry. This should be occasionally
sprinkled With some good disinfect-
ant.

A Phenomenal Dive.

Prof. Oscar Browning, of Cambridge,
tells this anecdote of the prince ON
sort at Elton school, in which he took
great interest: "The prince used to
battle frequently at the masters bath
ing-plaee, and he found there, on one
occasion, two of the staff whom he
knew to be accomplished divers. Hav-
ing a passion for statistics, which he
had derived from Prof. Quetelet at
Brussels, he asked how long they could
remain under water, and desired to
witness a specimen of their ability. In
the midle of the stream was a small
island, covered by a willow tree. One
of the bathers, afterward a most dis
tinguished bishop, jumped in and swan
under water to this island, coming up
under the branches of the tree. After
resting a few minutes, he entered the
water again, and arrived painting at
the steps. The prince was gazing at
his watch, and acknowledged that this
was a longer dive than he had ever
heard or read of.-Century.

RECLAIMING OUR DESERTS.
Barren and DesOlate Spots in the
Southwest Giving Indications
of Life,

The desert still maintains its fast
spots better entitled to the name than
others, but each year these Businesses
are shrinking before the advance of
human enterprise, as the water might
rise over the land, leaving the high and
difficult places to the last, says Cen
fury. So these islands are scattered
through several states and territories,
mostly in Arizona, New Mexico, Cali
fornia, Nevada, Utah and Oregon, in
the great valley lying between the
main ridge of the Rocky mountains, on
the east, and the Cascades, Sierra Ne
vada, and the Coast range, on the west.
Chief among them are the Mohave des-
ert, in southwestern California, a ter
ritory as large as Switzerland; the
Colorado and ella deserts of south
western Arizona and southern Cali
fornia; the marvellous Painted desert,
of northeastern Arizona, and the
Great Salt Lake desert, of Utah. Open
ing northward from the Mohave des-
ert lies Death valley, perhaps the most
ucSOIdtt anu IDiuuilS spob III uic
lea, though comparatively small in ex-
tent. Yet there are few places even
in these desert strongholds that are
wholly without life of one sort or an
other, and a large proportion of them
could be reclaimed, if water were avail
able. Even as it is, not one can bar
human activity; railroads have been
built directly across three of the
worst of them; mines are being
opened, and oil-wells driven; land is
being reclaimed by irrigation; and
even in the fastness of Death valley
there are many mining camps, and an
extensive borax industry. In all the
west, look as you will, you will find
no desert more p~itifully forlorn, more
deserted, more irreclaimable, and
more worthless than the man-made
deserts of northern Wisconsin and
Michigan, where fire has followed the
needless lumberman and spread a black
and Uttered waste thousands of square
miles in extent, where once grew a
splendid green forest of pine. One is
beautiful with the perfected grandeur
into which nature molds even the most
unpromising material; the other is
hideous, grotesque, pitiful, a reminder
of the reckless wastefulness of man.

Education for Farmers.

There are some men left who sneer
at the suggestion that a college edu-
cation helps a farmer; but how do
they account for the fact that agri-
culture has kept step with education
al advancement, not only in this
country, but throughout tn civilized
world? By college. education" for
farmers we NEAR more particularly
agricultural college education, though
any kind of college education helps
one to farm, just as it helps in any
other business. Before American agri-
cultural colleges got in their work,
there had been some slow progress
made in agriculture from "experi-
ence," but any degree of progress
worthy of notice required fifty to one
hundred years, instead of from three
to five years, as at present. Yet,
many years ago there were some not
ed farmers, and most of them were
~college-bred men. Broadening of the
faculties and the acquaintance with
the operation of natures laws ac-
quired at college could but be helpful
to any farmer. Why should not edu-
cation, especially in the sciences, help
the farmer? He has to deal with sci
entiic questions daily whether he has
any knowledge of the questions or
not. To work in harmony with ma
lures laws requires some knowledge
of such laws, and the why's and there
fores of the phenomena which he OBJ
serves. But special agricultural edu-
cation is what every farmer needs,
and if in addition to his classical and
| scientific erudition SO much the bet
ter. The agricultural colleges are do
ing a great work for the American
farmers, and together with the ex-
pertinent stations are working a Won
derfuI revolution in farm life.-Earm
