brio is quainter and more Old World

Princess model, exquisltely fitting
which effect, by the way, is point
in regard to which many dressmakers
makes a prodlgious blunder. The
Partisan artist understands that a
loosely fitting girdle or belt, showing
no strain, and apparently quite capa-
BILE of being drawn tighter without
inconvenience to the wearer, is, if
worn over properly fitting corset,
preferably the C-B la Spirite, far
more likely to give an air Of slimness
to the figure, than tightly strained
cincture.
In trimming nothing startlingly
new is announced so far, although it
is confidently asserted that cut-out APP
pliques, embroideries of all sorts and
lace will be much used.
Pure white, it is said will be less
popular, but this is to be taken with
grain of salt, as with smoky London,

Truck Farming
In The South.


sued by the passenger oePa't-
ment of the Illinois Central Kali
road-one entitled "Southern
Farm Lands" the other "Miss-
lssippi Valley Cotton Land
have created such widespread
interest in Southern farming
that we are prompted to issue a
series OF brief circulars in which
the different phases of Southern
agriculture and horticulture will
be discussed.
In this circular-which will be
known d No. 3-we desire to call
the attention of Northern garden
ers and others to the possibilities
of truck gardening in the South.
Adjacent to large cities through
out the Northwest are found veg
etable growers who devote their
entire time, during the summer
months, to growing truck for'the
CITY markets. Many of them do
fairly we'll, but on account OF the
high price of lands adjacent to
cities and exorb ltant taxes that
always obtain in such localities,
they cannot afford to own more
than n to five acres of land;
and in a climate ~where.)nlv l c o.
is successfully grown in a season
it is impossible for such farmers
to make more than a comfortable
living. In the South truck farm
ers do not spend all the money
they make during the summer
for fuel to keep them warm dur
ing the winter. Indeed, the an
nual cxpcnsefor fuel in the South
is comparatively nothing, and
there is scarce a month in tie
year when the truck farmers of
the South do not have something
that find a ready sale IN the
Northern markets at remunera-
tive prices.
The writer will aim to answer,
briefly, questions that naturally
arise in the minds of Northern
vegetable growers as to truck
farming in the South:
Question No. What terri
tory IN the South is best adapted
to Truck Farming?
Nearly all the countay in West
Tennessee, Central Mississippi
and Northern Louisiana, adjac-
ent to the Illinois Central Rail
road, is adapted to the. growing
of vegetables, but the section of
country where truck farming
has been especially successful
lies between Jackson Mississippi
and New Orleans.
Question No 2.-What is the
chaaacter of the soil in that To-
cality?
Formerly the country above
referred to was covered with vir-
gin pine forests, but the mer.
charitable timber was long since
sawed into lumber, some of which
may have been used in the North.
ern home Of the reader of this
circular. After the timber was
removed from the soil it was re-
garded so poor that the lands
we're for years considered as
worthless!-indeed 81 per acre

lands in this locality, after the
merchandise timber had been re-
moved. About twenty yeaas ago

to 4 shipping station. Within
the city limits of most of the
towns between Jackson and New
Orleans, lands suitable for gar
denlng can be bought for $500
per acre. The same quality of
lands within three to five miles
can be had at $40 per acre, and
IN some localities at even less.
AT greater distances from town
IS is generally about the average
price,
Question No 4.-Do the lands
require fertilizer?
Indeed they 90, and the kind
OF fertilizer that gives best per-
manent results is barnyard ma
nure. Commercial fertilizer is
used quite extensively and al
ways gives satisfactory tempo
rary results, but the vegetable
growers. whose lands are COZ =
stantly becoming better ard
richer, are those who keep a few
cows and other stock and care
for every pound of manure as
they would so much gold dust.
Question Nc. s--What varities
of vegetables grown in the South
r most valuable for shipment?
Nearly every variety of garden
truck can be grown successfully
and probably in the territory
under discussion. 1t is in the
South, however-as elsewhere
that some varieties are more
profitable than others. Lettuce,
beans, radisheS, onions. tom; =
toes and cabbage are grown with
profit. Some years the markets
r no; as good as others, but
taking n year with another the
net results are very satisfactory
Question No. 6--About what
is the average profit per acre on
vegetables.
1t is hard to answer this ques-
ton. Vegetable growers aver
age about the same as other far
mers. Some are careful in the
preparation of the soil, in the
cultivation of same, in the selec-
ton of seed adapted to the soil
and climate, and as a result they
always get a much larger yield
than the man who carelessly puts
in his crop and trusts the Lord
for results. At Hammond, Pom.
chatoula, Roseland and other
points in Louisiana, may be found
growers who haze made from
$500 to $1,000 per acre in cultiva.
ting lettuce; radishes, from 500
to $500 per acre; beans, iS125 to
Sis; cabbage grown on drained
swamp lands a few miles north
of New Orleans, are so profitable
that only a few years since one
of these cabbage growers made
enough money on a few ceres of
land, in one season, to take his
entire family abroad.
Question No 7.-How about
shipping facilities?
New Orleans, a city OF $50, 900
inhabitants, and destined in the
near future to become one of the
largestcommerciala and industrial
cities in the United States, is
within easy reach of all the above
described territory and affords
a daily market for every variety
of garden truck. Twenty years
ago it would have been impossi-
BILE to handle, with profit, garden

matches the silk in color, but the ma

Fasten two bands of ribbon to a point
in the center of the back, bringing
them around low on the shoulders,
lacking them there to give the neces-
sary long effect, and either cross In
front or in bow at the waist. This
scheme carried out in black velvet,
with a girdle to match, looks well on

No Comparison.

An exchange wants to know what
would be thought of man that would
have his pants made from l6 to ~
inches longer than his legs and then go
round holding them up to keep them
from trailing in the mud and filth. He
