Jackson, Sept. 6.-Prof. S. M. Ira
cy, formerly director of the Missis-
sippi agricultural experiment sta
ton, has been commissioned by the
government department of agricul-
ture to make an investigation and
extensive report on the food proper
ties of the cassavia plant, which is
now attracting considerable atten-
ton among the farmers and stock
raisers of the south.
The cassavia is a starch and food
plant indigenous to Cuba and the
West Indies, and it is believed that
It's cultivation will mean much for
the future of the south in an agricul-
tural way gradually supplanting corn
as food for live stock. Prof. Tracy will
spend about three months with the
investigation, at the conclusion of
which he will prepare a book to be
published by the department of ag-
riculture. The plant has been Guilt

The Dolly Warden hats IN All their pic
turesque styles and shapes will be worn
a great deal especially for dressy occa-

variations OF this pattern IS the Dolly Var

the crown rather low and fat. The under
brim has facing Of pale pink chiffon laid

words. do not try to reconcile soft laces

soft waist for all kinds of wear may be
made from pongee. This fabric washes like
linen and is cool and pretty. The natural
shade is a light tan, but pongee may be
obtained in other colors.
For the waists of silk, which are en-
broidered in designs of various colors, are
porcelain buttons. hand-painted to match.
These buttons may be purchased at an art
store and painted to suit the individual
tastes. Some are painted to represent
flowers. and are really the prettiest. al
though some people prefer to have them
bear the painted monogram only.
Tub suits will be all the rage this sum-
mer. AS the name implies. they are suits
made of washable materials. Any variety
of color in wash materials may be used in
their construction. and they may be
trimmed to suit the individual taste. The
all-white ones are especially good. and the
addition of hand embroidery in self-colored
cotton adds a great deal 10 the general
effect. The colored suits in tan and blue
linens, in cheviots. in the silk knappe cloth
and basket cloths are equally pretty and
desirable. Before the suits are made up
the materials for them are shrunken and
stretched so that the shape will not change
after the first wash. Most of them have
the seams stitched several times or
strapped firmly with straps of the material
for this same reason. As TO the making of
these garments. they are mostly made after

THE STORK

she grows familiar with woodland and
meadow paths, observation will teach her
a thousand things she never guessed about
the growing and Towering things. She ism t
going in for botany.
She doesn't care about Latin names and
flower dissection. but she learns where TO
search for leaf and blossom. she learns the
homely names of her new acquaintances,
and their tastes and habits.
Each week all the season through, from
the time OF the first arbutus and wind
flower until the last aster has died she
may make new friends. All that will stand
transplanting she may take home TO her
wild garden, and there give them as nearly
as possible the conditions in which she
found them.
Many will die of homesickness, but a
second or third trial may meet with sue
cess. and ii is a queer woman who does not
develop a keen interest in the work If she
perseveres a few seasons will be enough to
give her a garden where she may see the
season go by in a trail of color.
Each note will hint 10 her Of the music
bursting forth in the country world. Each
blossom will call her out to the woods and
fields. and II she cannot follow the call at
least she will know what is going on under
the touch Of spring and summer and au-
tumn-hOw the anemones are blooming and
the triium is opening and the buttercups
are gliding. and the wild azalea is massing
itself in banks of color and the wild honey
suckle is running riot over stone fences,
ana the marsh iris is making the swamps
royal. and the gOldenrod and wild aster are
ablaze.
No woman within hearing distance of
woods and fields should try TO live without
making and keeping up a wild garden.
THE HERB GARDEN.
Wild gardening leads naturally enough To
another form Of gardening which just now
is the latest fad. All through rural Eng
land and France and in many corners of
New England and the South the herb gar
den fiourishes as il has hourished for hun
dreds OF years. ana boundless faith is placed
in the medicinal properties OF herbs; but
these gardens are usually adjuncts OF cot
