crashes and percales. The new suits
have the waist outside the skirt, and
no belt is used; the tendency not to
outline the waist, but to give a prin-
cess effect.
The short sleeve still obtains, and
will for some time to come, in the
lingerie styles. We saw a waist the
other day which we voted most clever.
It was a simple little cream cOlored
China silk, the sleeve had a largish
puff from shoulder to elbow, and the
lower part was fitted by means OF
shirrs at inner and outer seam, this
lower part loose enough that it could
be pushed up above the elbow and not
spoil the effect at all; the wearer
might have elbow or long sleeve, just
as she liked.
The two models accompanying this
sketch have been very good style this
winter. The, one is made of all-over
lace, with little chemisette of finest
batiste finely tucked. The knot of rib
bon at the breast gives the touch OF
color desired, the silk underslip is
colorless. The other design is more
elaborate and perhaps not quite so
good. And speaking of simplicity re-
minds us that there are displayed some
beautiful blouses OF sheer silk, these
as rule made with little elaboration.
The many cheap limitations of elab-
orately, trimmed high-class lingerie
waists, has led to a change in the di-
rection of more simplicity. And it is
to be hoped the cheap models will imi-
tate this style. We have all grown
weary of multitudes of inset medal
lions, yards and yards of insertion,
frills and furbelows galore. The pres
ent feature is that special attention
is paid to material, less to complex
trimming.

POULTRY AS SIDE ISSUE.
Not Apt to Be a Success Because Too
Little Time Is Devoted to
the Fowls.

The man that goes into the breed
ing of birds as a side issue to make
money out of it is usually dissppoint-
ed. He generally has but a few min
utes a day that he thinks can be de-
voted to the fowls. He also figures
out that 100 or more hens should
make him a good profit during the
year-not less than 500. But his
mistake has come in figuring that the
few minutes a day will suffice to do
all the work that must be done in
connection with poultry says the
Farmers Review. In a few months
he is very tired of his side issue;
for the reason that he is trying to do
too much in too little time. If man
has but few minutes day to give
to poultry he should keep but few
foWls-not more than 25. He will
then get both profit and pleasure out
of them. In the other case they be-
come burden and also generally he~
come Improbable.

time and cause him to change his
change it for him.
Such an outcome of the present en-
gagement would not be at all surpris-
ing, considering Alphonso's past rec
ord. From the year he entered his
teens, and he is now almost 20 years
of age, he has at one time or another
made love or fiirted with nearly all
the royal girls of marriageable age
in Europe. Princesses, ducheSses and
archduchesses have attracted his
fancy, and he has been the despair of
matchmaking mammals and states
men.
THE champion royal heart-hreaker
of Europe" is the title that has been
bestowed upon him as a result of his
flirting escapades, and royalty will
breathe a sigh of relief if Princess Ena
finally becomes his bride.
The way that Bourbon BOY Is carry
ing on with the girls is something
shameful. No one knows how often
he has laid himself open to suits for
breach of promise but he certainly
has led a lot of them to think that
they were going to be asked to be
Mrs Alfonso, and then SHE'D OF in
some other direction.
His First Affair.
There was the case of Donna Maria
Del Pillar of Bavaria That happened
when she was only third daughter OF
Prince Louis Ferdinand. and her

a strictly tailor-made." In the after
Moons she wears a costume reminis-
cent of the fashion known as Empire,
a modern adaptation. In the evenings
she occasionally appears in a soft,
clinging Empire, this time direct
copy and not an adaptation; or she
may display a gorgeous gown with a
Louis XVI. bodice. And each and
every toilette is fashioned to suit the
style of the wearer, that mysterious
cline" most artfully accomplished.
The accompanying illustration
strikes US as graceful winter outfit
with various good points. Note the
sensible shortness of the skirt, the
long lines of the wrap, the three
quarter sleeve, the hat excellently in
harmony, appearing a component part
of the toilette. The coat is simply
trimmed with fiat braid, the skirt abb
solutely untrimred, the intention to
give h-ight and slenderness of effect.
To iIlshre this effect dark material
should be employed. This model
would make up beautifully in velvet
With lace frills at the wrists.
A novelty just come over from Paris
is the mousquetaire undersleeve, evil
IDENTIFY designed for the woman with
very slender arms. The dress sleeve
with which such an undersleeye is
worn is a mere puff at the shoulders;
or rather, very short sleeve with
very little puf1ness about it. The
mousQuetaire is of sheerest material

queen-excluder should be used. This
prevents the bees from travelling over
the sections, and consequently all
have to clean is the beeway above and
below in the sections, which I trim
with very sharp knife.
To remove the sections from the
super, proceed in the ordinary way.
Knock out the wedges and upset the
super on a bench or table, and the
section will come off easily, and this
prevents the protector from getting
kinked or bent, as it comes off last. IN
using this we can leave the sections
on any length of time, and they can't
be soiled.
And now a word about disposing OF
the crop. If you make crop, what
are you going to do with it? With
many bee-keepers it is an easy matter
to produce a crop of fine honey; but
then their ability to handle it to adj
vantage ceases. This should not be.
The producer should know and un.
derstand how to make the most out OF
his crop. If he does not he should
educate himself up to it. With some
this ability comes naturally; but others
must learn it. Education is neces.
sary in other lines, and also applies in
agriculture.

Of course, there are a lot of other
things that kings like Alfonso have to
take into consideration, and one is
the desire of all his subjects to help
him get married. Almost everyone in
Spain wanted him to marry the Prin-
cess Louise of Orleans, daughter of the
late Comte de Paris. This princess is
a beauty and the most popular of all
princesses with the people of Spain.
Perhaps, If the king had been permit
ed TO make love for himself without
anyone interfering, the princess would
now be queen of Spain. At any rate,
the French and the Spanish all hoped,

One of the novelties in high-class
lingerie waists is the use Of color.
The ground may be white, but the EN-.
broidery will be in pale blue, or green,
mayhap lavender, and there may be
nedallions in color, these made OF
tucked batiste and attached to the
waist with lace insert.
Another new thing in the dre3sy
blouse is embroidered net, this prom
il ing to be much more affected the ap-
preaching season. And dyed laces, we
repeat, are to be more and more used
Ger the waist Of the three-piece suit
Crepe de chine, a material that seems
to fill long-felt want, will be used
very considerably for suit waist,
light fabrics given the preference.
One is able to get crepe de chine now
in such variety of tones, it is no
difficult matter to find match.
Perhaps many of our readers won
der if sblouse" and waist" are used
INTERCHANGEABLE. Yes, and no. Pop
ularly they are; dressmakers that dis
criminate look upon the waist as
more simple affair, the old shirt-waist
type; and upon the blouse as dressier,
the lingerie waist perhaps the best
type of this. Wherefore we go on
to speak Of the new tailor made waists
of linen, and to remark they are to be
extensively worn. There are shown
few models in blues and pinks, but
most of us are a~ssbitaafraid to adopt
colors, white having reigned supreme
so long. In ginghams and Madras
weaves one can find very attractive
materials, and need not feel that linen
is the only thing for the shirt waist.
This being the time of year one be-
gins to have the dressmaker come to

TOMATO BLIGHT.
a Discussion by e. A. Season as to
Whether We Can Control It
Without Spraying.

While our old neighbors are content to
follow the same rotation, and along
the same lines year after year, we are
not, and like to experiment with the
garden crops as well as those of the
fields. Years ago we knew from ex-
perience nothing about tomato blight,
although it prevailed to a greater or
lesser extent in some sections, but dur
ing the past few years this blight has
visited us just as the fruit was be-
ginning to ripen. Unless spraying the
vines with Bordeaux was begun early
in June, and continued every ten days,
until fruit was quite well developed,
at the time the tomatoes were ripe for
picking, the vines were almost de-
nuded of their leaves, and the crop de-
Perforated in value.
In order to have the tomato of good
quality, the foliage should be in a
thrifty, condition. Spraying will con-
troll the blight to a certain extent, but
it is very unpleasant work, and the
vines not agreeable to handle after
ward.
We have always believed that treat
ment underground might work good
results by, improving the texture of the
foliage.
This year we set two rows of equal
length to plants of the same variety
"Earliana." These were cultivated
alike, but one row received after plant
ing good top-dressing of high
grade fertilizer, and no manure. The
other row was given manure only,
well worked into the soil before plant
Ing. The fertilizer contained nitro
gen four per cent, phosphoric acid
(available), five per cent, actual pot
ash ten per cent. This was hoed into
the soil about the plants, and both
rows were worked exactly alike and
were about six feet apart. We used
no spray upon these plants. AS
usual, when the fruit began to change
color, the leaves upon the vines of
the MANFRED row (Which seemed much
more luxuriant than the other) be-
gan to wilt and finally dropped off al
together, and the tomatoes were very
inferior. Not one leaf upon the vines
of the fortified row showed evidence
of blight, and the tomatoes were per-
feet in quality and size.
Investigation has led to many val
liable discoveries, and If it is true
that a truly heterogeneous manure rem
ders the leaves of the tomato vine
tender and susceptible to blight, and
if the use of more mineral matter will
constitute them practically blight
proof by making them of greater sub
stance, then the commercial grower
will be greatly benefited. If this ex-
pertinent has been tried by others, we
shall be glad to hear from them.

THE GATE PROP.

correspondent of the Farmers Review.
1t is a great deal of trouble to hold
a gate open and drive stock through
it also. Now, when you swing the
gate open, have a stick of wood, say
a broom handle two feet long, fas-
tened to the third Stat of the gate
with leather so it can be turned either
way. Drive a nail at B, and when
gate is closed put prop on B. When
you open it drop A and swing it and
it will stay where it stops.

Root system of the Corn PLANT.

The root system Of the corn plant is
many times greater than most persons
suppose it to be. While it is true that
the corn plant is in the main sur
face feeder, it is also true that the
smaller roots are very long and pene-
trate the earth to great depth. At
one of the stations cube of ground
around corn plant was cut out whole

out. It was found that this corn plant
had sent its roots to depth Of about
four feet aid that they spread three

and unlined, 1t wrinkles close about
the arm, being shirred both at inner
and outer seam. Carrying out the
fancy for combining heavy material
with one very gauzy, these under
sleeves are effective additions to a
velvet gown. They are recommended
for the princess skirt, too, and may
be of different material than the
bodice. They come down quite long
on the wrists and are met by short
white gloves. 1t is a new fashion, a
pretty fashion.
Buttons, in spite of affirmations to
the contrary, are noticeable feature
of costumes and promise to have much
vogue the coming season. The pea
cock eye is design found in the art
nouveau styles, and a fayorite. There
are good limitations of Indian bead
work, some excellent glass buttons
from Bohemia, and exquisite enameled
ones. They are used for trimming
quite as much as for fastening.
From the first we liked the white
coat-sets, the pique and linen collars
and cuffs worn outside the jacket; and
are glad to learn they will be very
good style this spring. Eyelet work
on heavy linen seems favorite, and
the plain pique sets are liked. In spite
Of talk to the contrary, we are to con-
tinue wearing the dainty chemisette,
too much of favorite to be lightly
relinquished. There seems an infinite
variety of turnover collars, among
the best those copied from the Japan
csc. This sort of neckwear is much
or soiled ribbon, and every woman
should lay in an ample supply.
