Very different are our modes of to-

with plated muslin edged on either side

These insertions become fuller and
wider as they near the feet, finishing at
last in a mass Of billowy frills; as the
wearer lifts her frock one catches
glimpses of much-beflounced blue glace

Ing published statements have caused
some to cease trying to learn better
methods from the experiences Of 9TH
ers. but a study of the conditions will
show good reasons for the conflicting
results reported.
The methods of cultivation in gener-
al use in one section OF the country
differ greatly from those In another
section. The implements and methods
employed in Iowa are as different from
those of Connecticut as these in turn
are different from those of Georgia;
and while these differences are to some
extent due to the nature of the farm
land or to the class of labor employed,
they are to a still greater extent due
to the conservatism of the farmers
themselves.
In the south Atlantic states the OBJ
servant corn grower would notice the
use of terraces for preventing the
washing away of the top soil. He
would also see the advantage of spac-
ing rows and stalks in the rows at dis
tances suited to the fertility of the
sol, and, where poor soil necessitates
the planting of the rows six feet apart.

with ruchings and plaitings. This is to
be worn with an enormous picture hat
of leghorn, the only trimming on which
will be band of black velvet and two
huge cabbage roses with their own
foliage.
A touch Of black will also be intro
duced in the parasol, which is of gagged
black chiffon lined with palest pink.
Such frock as this would be charming
at London's big garden party.
A lovely example Of the painted mus
lin gown is in pale pink, with a POM
padour design of rings of deep red roses
and foliage painted thereon. The frock
appears TO be cut all in one, and is
gagged from several inches above the
waist to about three inches below it.
The hip pieces are cut open and inserted
with tiny tucks or box plaits, which give
the necessary amount of fulness to the
long skirt, which is finished with two
enormously thick ruches of taffeta
changeante taking in various shades OF
pink and green. Some smaller ruches
of the same fabric are arranged over the
yoke and shoulder to give pelerine eff
feet, and the elbow sleeves are finished
with soft gaugings and frills, worn with
long mousquetaire gloves. This is sur
mounted by a hat of white chip, with an
inner brim of black straw, giving be-

he would perceive the economy of
growing a soil-enriching, leguminous
plant between the corn rows. On the
broad prairies of the western states
he would learn methods of curtailing
expenses by the use of plows, planters,
cultivators and corn harvesters, de-
signed so that one man can work a
large number of horses and thereby &C

such implements one man can, without
help, plant and care for 40 or 60 acres
of corn in addition to his other crops.
The same methods and implements are
suitable for many farms where more
tedious and laborious methods are now
followed.
While it is true that proper attention
to seed selection and methods of Gull
tivation will greatly increase the aver
age production per acre for all land

equally true that the cultivation of
corn will never be found profitable on
very poor land. Some growers, from
force of habit, perhaps, every spring
plant corn on land which they know is
too poor to produce profitable corn.
The blowing and cultivating of poor
soil is as expensive as the blowing and
cultivating of fertile soil. Corn grow
ing should not be attempted on such
land until it is brought into fertile
condition by the growing and blowing
under of leguminous crops, the appli-
cation of manures, etc. In the mean
time some Of the crops that require
less fertility than corn may be grown.
1t should be remembered that the ma
ture of the corn plant is such that 1t
will not produce grain unless the soil
is rich enough to afford considerable
growth of stalk, and that the belt yield
of ears is not obtained unless the
stalks have made a maximum growth.
For this reason some other plants will
produce small or fair crops on soil too
poor to produce corn. A cotton plant
adjusts its yield of lint to the fertility
of the coil, small plant producing a
small number of bolls containing lint
of as good quality as that from a
larger plant bearing many more bolls.
A hay crop is also quite regular in
proportion to the fertility of the soil.
This is not true, however, of corn.
When poor soil dwarfs grass to half its
normal size, the crop of hay is reduced
by about one-half, but when poor soil
dwarfs the corn plants to half their
normal size it is probable that there

ten years (231a bushels per acre.
shows that many are annually harvest
ing less than half of this quantity.
Since the average crop in the states
best adapted to corn growing is but
little above the general average of the
entire country, it is evident that the
average is not lowered to any great ex-
tent by the poor crops in sections I'M
suited to corn growing. Moreover, the
yield per acre in the New England
states, with their poor soil and short
growing season, is greater than in any
other part of the country. This clearly
indicates the possibility of greatly in
creasing the yield per acre in the corn
belt. This is especially easy of &C
complishment in the southern states,
where the present average is low and
where the growing season is not short
ened by frosts.
The most valuable information re-
garding the growing of corn in any
particular section can be obtained
from unprejudiced observant corn
growers of many years experience;
and the writer wishes to thank the
hundreds who have so kindly given
him such information. The fact that
the experiences of growers in different
localities and the reports of expert
ments from the various state expert
ment stations do not agree should not
lower the estimation of the value of
either. Such disagreement follows nee
essarily from the different soils. alti-

to the styles in vogue in the days OF the

comes to a question Of beautiful

liers of the Rue de la Paix. 1t seems
to me that neither English, French nor
American women are in the least con-
sidering the cost of their best frocks, by
which mean the toilette de reception

ever, affect delightfully."- chic simplic-

appears at the feet, headed by narrow

Victorian puffs, and round the waist Is

There is, without doubt, growing
