There are three new styles Of walk
ing skirt, says the Chicago Journal.
One is short. about an inch above the
floor, and has a hip yoke.
Another is two inches from the floor,
severely plain and with slotted seams
and just enough fare at the bottom to
give it modlsh effect.
The third almost touches the floor,
and in the back has a little train Of
about three inches. Third style sn't

the border on account Of its banded

Salt in tho Manure Hean.

Salt in the manure heap will prove
beneficial. As kainit contains large
proportion of salt, and also a percent
age of crude sulphate of potash, it may
be mixed with the manure by turning
the heap over, care being taken that all
portions of the manure be sprinlllcd
with the kainit. 1t prevents loss Of am
monia to 4 certain extent and adds
potash to the manure, while salt at
tracts moisture and serves as an aid
to prevent "lire-fanning' OF the man
ure. Whenever manure is turned over
the coarse materials should be placed
in the centre in order that they may
more quickly be decomposed.

rranpinc Seed Into The Earth.

Peter Henderson some years ago
called attention to the use Of the feet
in planting vegetable seed in dry
weather. II small seeds are sown and
loosely covered with dry earth they Of
ten fail TO germnate, or, just after
termination, they lie and perish IF.
however, the earth is compressed about
the seed at the time of planting. such
drying does not occur. and the seeds
germinate well, even when the ground
is very dry. 10 be sure, if the ground
is full Of moisture, this method would
not be followed.

Good Roads Campaign.

There have been many practical in
fluences ut work as aids to the good
roads movement but the farmers have
been unusually conservative in lending
their cooperation 10 the effort to bring
about a change in the laws governing
the payment of highway taxes. and
they have not taken an active part in
the movement which seeks a reform in
the way these taxes are expended Al
though farming communities are the
ones principally Interested in good
highways, and the pockets of the
farmers are directly benefited by
cheapening the cost of hauling their
products to market. they are prone TO
adhere to old methods, and are appga-
hensive that the expense Of change

Forest leaves make an excellent bed

good policy, however, to gather the
leaves from piece Of woodland, as
such action will in time exhaust the
soil and cause injury to the trees.
When the leaves blow into ravines
