Blue PREVAILING COLOR IN
WOMEN'S DRESSES.


"The prevailing color in women's
dresses this year will be blue" said
James w. Partridge representing a
large dressmaking establishment in
Chicago. "Parsifal" blue will be the
prevailing shade, but other shades will
NOT be discarded just because the new
shade is the badge of fashion. Nearly
every woman now wears n bit Of blue
somewhere about her costume, and
generally in sight. So far as | have
been able to discover, blue Is the pop
ular color witt the women this year.
Several interested persons In Chicago
have made an Investigation to see
whether or not the contention that
blue is the most popular color with
women was true, and this was what
they found by watching those walking
in State street; between Randolph and
Washington streets: Out Of 10S women
who passed 20 were dressed in blue;
between Madison and Washington
streets. 14O out of 20G were decorated
with the color, and between Madison
and Monroe streets, IS out Of 1903 dis
played the pretty color. If this isn't
conclusive proof, l don't know what
is."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

DRAIN THE LAND.

Wet land should be drained, as It
may be the most fertile on the farm.
BY the use Of drain tile there will be
no unslghtly open bitches, and the
field can be cultivated as easily rs any
other. If the land Is not very wet the
cost Of drainage will be but little, and
such land will be just 20 valuable for
pasture as before, with the added adj
vantage Of being adapted to a greater
variety Of grasses than formerly. Id
can then also come under the regular
crop rotation. If plot has been too
wet to use for ordinary crops 1t will
also be too wet for grass some years,
and when drained it will produce green
food earlier in the spring and later In

time to DO the work. The same rule
applies to cultivation. The longer the
rows the less time required, as there

POTATOES NEED SPRAYING.

No one can now afford TO raise pota-
toes without the use Of the bordeaux
mixture and spray pump; we always
spray twice and sometimes four times,
according TO the season. We use a
common force pump set in q kerosene
barrel mounted on the front wheels
Of a lumber wagon, which requires
two men to handle, one to drive the
horse and the pump" and the other
to handle the hose. This outfit will
spray from three to four acres the
first time when the tops are small
and from two to three acres after the
tops are full grown. But in order to
be effective the spraying must be done
early as the mixture is preventative
and not a cure for the blight We in
variably mix paris green with the bor-
deauX mixture for the first application
to destroy the bugs.
This method of cultiyating the po-
tato crop | have adopted after years
Of experiments in all kinds of soil and
under great variety of climatic condi-
tlons. But in order to be successful It
must be thoroughly done in every par
ticular, the ridges must be straight
and even and of uniform depth, and
the narrowing both before and after
planting must be done at the proper
times in order to destroy the weeds
and encourage the growth OF the
plants.
This will make all difference between,
success and failure, but If all the con-
dltlons are observed it is astonishing
at how small a cost per bushel a large
crop Of potatoes can be raised besides
putting the soil in first-class condition
for succeeding crops.-George Aitken,
