FOR BUSINESS WOMEN.

Business women are forsaking the
cloth skirt and thin shirt-waist for the
washable shift-waist suit; and it is
only the size of the laundry bill that
prohibits others from also doing so.
Crash and the heavier linen weaves
are not so easily crushed, or so like
1y to gather dust as some other mate
rails. Ecru, sage green and the soft
blues are the colors that do not quick
ly show soil, and are at the same time
cool to the eye.
If you should desire white get the
Russian crash that sells for tOweling.
Get it in its paleSt shaded soft
cream that is almost pure white, but
will stand hard wear.
For very hot weather a white Swiss,
with black dots, would be cool.
Ginghams in black or blue and white
checks of all descriptions are an econ
0mical investment.
If you must be very, very saving,
why not try cotton crepe, which needs
only washing to make it again pre-
sentable. We do not advise this for
steady business wear, but for one of
those pr0strating weeks CT hot weather
which we must expect now and then.

PETTICOATS.

For many women the question Of the
'dessous is as important and costly as
that of the dessus.
The underskirt, in fact, contributes
very largely to the perfection of a
toilette.
The cut of the underskirts must be
impeccable, and, like the skirts, they
must be quite fiat at the top, fitting
closely around the hips.
They are improved by being mounted
on a high waistband, which is placed
low down on the corset.
The lower part of the underskirt is
deliberately trimmed and made very
fiou, all kinds of trimmings and novel
ties being utilized to secure this re-
suit.
Pleated flounces of taffetas edged
with velvet arabesques are utilized in
some cases, while flounces of muslin
and lace edged with ruches are used
on more elaborate underskirts.
For evening dresses lingerie under
skirts with transparent founces of
taffetas are indispensable.
Some of the evening petticoats which
are worn under the long, flowing.
Unlined skirts really require as much
fitting as the dress itself. and, being
much trimmed, are almost as costly
Many of the prettiest are in white
and pale-colored taffetas trimmed with
lace, cut with long train, and a null
tiplicity of frills.

Sorghum and Corn Tor Silage.

r. II. d., Melbourne, Va, asks: Do
you think that sorghum silage is bet
ter than corn? once made on uplands
which usually produce ten barrels of
corn, twenty-five tons to the acre This
land was heavily MANFRED from the
cattle barns. A square rod of corn
was cut and weighed in the field so
think there could have been no mistake
in the amount made.
In my judgment, writes Prof A. NJ.
Soule in reply, sorghum silage is Just
as good for beef cattle as corn. and
If anything more satisfactory. 1t has
some great advantages over corn in
the South in that it resists drought
better, will make a larger yield than
corn, and is not so difficult to make
into good quality of silage. Corn be-
comes ready for the silo almost in a
day and if not put up Immediately it
dries out so rapidly that it frequently
has to be wet to preserve it or else it
will firefang. Sorghum on the other
hand retains its juices with wonderful
persistency and can be put in the silo
any time within a week or ten days,
or even longer without injury. If the
sorghum is allowed to practically ma
ture before being cut for silage, it
makes a sweet silage which is eaten
with the greatest relish by all classes
Of stock. One objection to it from
the dairyman's standpoint is that it
sometimes taints the milk, though if
fed after the COWS are MIXED, there
is practically no danger from this
source. We have also observed that
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1904-08-19

if the cattle received a small guam
tity of hay along with the silage that
the milk is not likely to be tainted.
Some have argued against sorghum
for silage purposes because 1t is so
hard on the land. 1t is not harder on
the land in proportion to yield than
corn. In our experience sorghum has
yielded about twice as much as corn
and therefore the total draft on the
soil is much greater than with corn,
but If the sorghum is brought into a
rotation of crops on land that is prop
erlY fertlliZed once in three to five
years 1t will not injure it in the least.
The yield of corn silage indicated in
your communication was certainly re-
markable. We have never approximate
ed such a yield here If you only cut
a rod square in large field there was
every possibility of an error being
made. We have had small areas of
corn that would doubtless yield at
the rate of fifteen to twenty tons of
green feed, but when you take from a
ten to fifty acre field of siiage from
either corn or sorghum, it is doubtful
if any CROP will be found that will APP
proximate more than twelve to fifteen
tons per acre. With an exceptional
season and soil the yield may be
much greater. We have raised twen-
ty tons of sorghum silage to the acre
on the station farm and we can safely
count on fifteen in an average season
when the crop is properly managed.
On the other hand, corn has not yield
ed more than eight to ten tons.-Knox-
vile Journal and Tribune.

Prepare the land fer rutabagas and
turnips. Break the land deeply and
make it fine by repeated narrowing
and rolling. The land should be made
rich if a heavy crop is to be grown.
Farm yard manure and acid phosphate
and potash are suitable manures for
these crops and should be applied lib
erally-50O or 600 pounds of acid phos-
phate to the acre is none too much to
apply. They make the best yield sown
in drills two feet six inches apart and
the plants should be thinned out with
the hoe to stand ten inches apart in
the rows. Sown in drills two pounds
of seed per acre is sufficient Sown
broadcast will require four pounds.
Rutabagas should be sown in July,
turnips may be sown in August. All
who keep cattle, sheep and hogs should
grow these root crops. They provide
succulent feed to be fed to the stock
in winter and will carry young cattle
through winter in a constantly i'm
proving condition on fodder or straw.
For sheep keepers they are almost in
dispensable if the best :esults are to
be ttained.-Richmond Planter.

Cowpeas in Corn.

CoWpeas will grow better when
planted in the corn in the South than
they would in the North because the
corn plant natures in the South COM
paratively early in the season which
permits the suns rays to readily reach
the ground and thus insure the rapid
growth of the cowpea which loves a
warm and sunny climate. BY grow
ing cowpeas between the corn rows
the land can be considerably improved
and a nice crop for grazing off with
hogs obtained Soy beans, of course,
may be grown in the same way. Where
the crop is intended for silage purposes
the cowpeas may be planted in drills
with the corn or sorghum. This is ac-
complished by taking two horse
planter and fitting a plate on one side
so as to SOW the cowpeas and adjust
the ether to SOW corn or sorghum.
For silage purposes we prefer to sow
about ten to fifteen pounds of corn
and eight to ten pounds of sorghum
with one peck tC half bushel of peas.
BY sowing two rows of them and then
reversing and going back over the
same ground the peas and corn or
peas and sorghum can be put down to-
gether. In warm favorable sea-
son the peas will grow fairly we'll
sometimes. 1 have frequently seen
them climb up the stalks of corn ten
or twelve feet From observation one
would suppose that a large per cent.
of the crop would consist of peas, but
investigations conducted several years
at this station fail to show high per
cent. of peas in the silage crop. Never
more than fifteen per cent. has been
obtained and the average is only about
five per cent. 1t would thus be better
so far as our results are concerned, to
grow the peas and sorghum by them
selves and make them into hay and
feed along with corn and sorghum,
as not enough peas have been obtained
to influence the feeding value of the
silage to any appreciate extent. 1t
has been suggested to grow the peas
and soy beans by themselves and run
into the silo load about with the corn
but you will appreciate the fact that
it causes delay and annoyance in fill
ing the silo and that when you run
load of corn or sorghum and load of
peas you would have to do more work
to mix the product thoroughly and
make it uniform than is justifable.-

Bread Laws.

There is a curious provision in the
British Bread Acts of 1922 and 1886,
which are still in force, to the effect
shat every person who shall make
for sale, or sell or expose for sale any
bread made wholly or partially Of
peas or beans or potatoes. or of any
sort of corn or grain other than wheat,
shall cause all such bread to be
marked with large Roman letter

A WOMAN OF USE.

The biography of Miss Eleanor ON
erod, just published, is exceedingly
interesting. An English lady of
means and good family, she devoted
her whole life to the interests of sci
ence and agriculture, and her long
and arduous work in studying and
classifying insect pests has conferred
immense benefits on the farmers of
Great Britain. 1t is not often that a
lady gives up all her time, or has the
knowledge and love of natural history
requisite to carry out such labors but
Miss Ormerod not only possessed the
requisite talents, but had also the i'm
mense perseverance and patience nee
essary for so great a task Her care
full observations were of the greatest
value to the students of insect pala-
sites, and her modesty and the retired
country life she led caused her fame
to be less spread abroad, except
among entOmologists, than that of any
less distinguished women; but her
friends were numerous and distin-
-guished, and her happy, quiet exis-
tence was cheered by the enthusiasm
and interest she inspired. The Edin-
burg University conferred on her the
honorary degree of LII D., and every
woman should be proud of her mag
nificent record of unGelfish work.
