A DUAL REMEDY.
How to Get Rid of Potato Blight and PO-
tato Bugs at the Same Time.

Prof. Washburn of the state ex-
pertinent station has written us as
follows, asking US to publish in our
next issue, if potatoes in this vi
cinity are troubled with potato
blight:
In travelling over the state the
latter part of last summer | was
struck by the prevalence Of blight
in potato vines in many sections.
Since then many complaints have
reached us regarding this trouble.
The following treatment with Dor
deaux mixture has, in New York
state given excellent results; and a
knowledge of the method, it would
seem, should be ia the hands of
every farmer in our state, who
raises potatoes.
Spray the vines with Bordeaux
mixture first when the plants are
| six or seven inches high Two
weeks later give them another
spraying. Follow this with two
later sprayings, making four in all,
allowing two weeks to intervene
between applications. The neces-
sary strength for Bordeaux mix
ture for this purose is made as
follows:
Place six pounds of copper sui
plate (blue stone) in a burlap sack
and hang it in sufficient water to
dissolve it in any vessel which is
not made of iron. Stake four pounds
of fresh lime gradually. When
slaked add % gallons of water, and
the water containing the dissolved
blue stone. Stir thoroughly and
add % gallons more water go gal
Ions in all. This mixture should
be strained through burlap before
being used. to remove particles
which might clog the sprayer. To
kill potato beetles or bugs at the
same time add one pound Paris
green to the amount of the mixture
necessary to cover one acre. Each
plant must be thoroughly covered.
To be successful the spray should
be used before the blight starts.
This process costs about "a per
acre, and each farmer must decide
for himself whether the expense is
] justified.

of these ideal gowns, worn with a
washable white silk, lace trimmed

The little kimona shown here is a
bit of pretsiness that the Idawn Of
the oriental era in dress has
brought us.
There has never been anything
more picturesque than the kimona,
with which the Japanese beauty
has coquettishly, with the true
grace of artistic temperament,
draped her form for more genera
tons than exist in Occidental rec
ords OF attire.
For many years we have been
appreciative of the beauties of ORR
entail fabrics, as adapted to coy
corners and Heterogeneous, but
today these exquisite creations are
receiving enthusiastic recognition
in their use in the construction of
dainty gowns, and happy is she
who has a bit of Oriental embroid-
cry or a scarf that she can fasten
into fascinating'stock or charming
bodice.
And the popularity of the Orien-
tai atmosphere has permeated the
perfume field, and where until re-
Gently milady's every movement
recalled to us the scent of some
familiar flower, we are now waited
back, in the quaint odor of Vantine's
Sandalwood. to our childhood recol-
lections of the dear old sandalwood
fan.
The dress skirt worn with the
charming negligee garment of the
Flowery Kingdom is one of the
most modish creations in cream
peau de crepe, which has taker
front rank among silk for shirt
waists and lingerie purposes, as
we'll as for gowns for formal occa
sions, and in white is one of the
leading silks for wedding gowns.

ELAINE RozE'S LETTER.
The Oriental Era in Dress and Perfumes
Dress for Out-Of-DOOr Life.

Out-of door life the woman of to-
day will have, and whether golfing,
riding, automobiling or walking, as
her taste or purse may indicate,
she must be suitably gowned. No
longer are her gowns for more for
NAL wear given precedence, but
she recognizes the Importance Of
making a iudicious selection of her
gown for general wear, for undoubt-
'e1ly she will be more often seen IN
it than in any other.
Let it be trig and neat iaunty as
she likes, but never "fussy." Let
it be OF material that is comfortable,
stylish, and of all things weather
defying, which is entirely possible
in these days of rain-proof cloths.
The vast majority of New York
womankind face the April yagaries
of Dame Nature fearlessly, in SER
vicable gowns of bright mohair or
nattily woven mixtures of Austral-
ian wool and silk. Priestley, cray-
enetted, these frocks give to the
wearer a smart appearance if the
sun is shining, and an equally up
to-date look if caught in a shower.

pies. who have 50 long fed upon its
vitals. and whose long misrule has
at last proven its own nemesis. For
the first time since 1855, when Alex
ander Ramsey was elected mayor
without opposition, the veteran
cohorts of the st. Paul democracy
have been defeated not defeated
merely, but utterly routed, over
thrown, cut to pieces and wiped
out. They are as much astonished
and aghast at the result as if mine
had been sprung beneath their feet
and buried their stunted and man
gled fragments beneath the ruins
of their last bastion. The Demo
Gratis had on their side the prestige
of an unbroken chain of Democratic
victories since the incorporation of
the city, except the single in
stance of Gov. Ramsey's election;
and they worked for their candidate
with an energy and determination
never exhibited before, with all the
appliances and means which money
could supply.

The news that the union ticket
was elected by large majority was
received by the union men of St.
Paul Tuesday evening with the
widest enthusiasm. An immense
crowd engaged the Great Western
band, organized an impromptu pro-
cesslon and marched up Third
street and out Exchange to the resi-
dence of DR.. Stewart. They were
frequently greeted on the way with
huzzas from groups of men. On ar
irving near the doctors residence,
which was brilliantly lighted up,
the downtown procession found
that another crowd was ahead Of
them. The Germans of upper town
had secured the band of a visiting
circus and made a call on the mayor
elect, and was massed in front of
the house. The two bands joined
forces and played different tunes
as loudly as they could, the whole
being intermingled with the deaf
ening huzzas of the multitude. DR..
