Knitted shawls Again PopuIa,

Not for many years have so many
crocheted and knitted shawls been
seen at seashore and mountain re-
sorts as are worn by the summer
girls of 1904. A popular pattern is a
long scarf crocheted from saxony yarn
in what is known as the rainbow pat
tern. This shows all the pale colors
of the rainbow-pink, blue, lavender,
green and corn color, WITH a large
proportion Of white stripes interven-
ing When thrown over the shoulders
1t has all the effect of fading, exquis-
itely delicate rainbow.

Linen Costumes Seen Everywhere.

No mistake can be made in buying
linen costumes now If ones summer
wardrobe is running low. Colored
linens in coats-Eton or long coats
in short skirts for walking or shop
ping; trailing white linen gowns with
insertions of real lace for elaborate
afternoon functions, and fine linen ma
terials made up in dressy bodices and
skirts and trimmed with fine lace are
distinctly smart.
Linens for all sorts Of frocks for
all sorts of wear, or lightly embroid,
cred instead of being lace trimmed,
are seen everywhere and anywhere.
1t will also be much worn next sum-

well as she who has no necessity or
no desire to consult her pocketbook
may cheerfully invest in the linen

Bacteria In Soil.

A bacterium is such small thing
tnat the human eye cannot detect 1t.
IL takes the microscope to bring out
this minute form of life. 1t takes
some thousands of bacteria to do the
work that is done in single tubercle
on the root of leguminous plant.
Nevertheless, small as they are, bac-
terra are of immense Importance to
the farmer and often the success or
failure of crop will depend on the
kind OF bacteria there Is in soil.
The kind of soil and its physical
structure also have a great deal to
do with the abundance of bacteria.
1t has been found that a soil that Is
rich In humus, that is, has much
vegetable matter in it, is better suit
ed for the development of bacteria
than soil that has in it very little
humus. 1t has previously been be-
lieved that the only advantages in
having the humus was that it was a
source of nitrogen and that it also
held moisture and kept the ground
from drying out. The third good
quality must now be added, that Of
making bacterial life more abundant.
Whether this connection between the
humus in the soil and the bacteria is
important because the humus fur
nishes food for the bacteria or
whether it is important because the
humus keeps the ground light and
moist and lets the air work through
1t easily, we do not yet know. Both
are reasonable suggestions. We are
sure to understand more about them
in the not distant future. 1t is now
certain that we can introduce new
kinds of bacteria into soils and that
we can by doing this greatly increase
the productive capacity of the farms
for certain crops. . - !

the best methods known, borers are
difficult insects to combat. The larvae
make their way into the wood so

they work, that they may do much
