This merely surrounds the waist

TRIM COATS FOR SMALL FOLKS.
Coats for small folks are con-
constructed a bit differently from
those worn by older girls. These are
cut with loose front as well as back
but at the same time it is narrow.
In proportion the basque is longer
often reaching One-third down the
skirt and retaining its narrow shape
less cut. The sleeves are Of simple
coat style being Of full length while
dress sleeves usually end at the ell
bow.
\ separate wrap which Is much in
vogue among young girls is the loose
medium length coat of shepherds
plaid. This is of some soft wool
favorite being white lined with black
or grey. The only adornment con-
sists of the fabric or pearl buttons
down the front. The coat is worn with
every sort Of dress from the knOcka-
bout frock to the dressy afternoon or
Sunday outfit. Some of the same style
coats a bit different in shaping are be-
ing worn by young and older women
They do not appear so well upon any
one as upon the girl for whom they
were originally intended. Taffeta
coats of similar style are also worn
but are not so popular nor suitable
fer youthful wearers.
LINGERIE HATS FASHIONABLE
Hats for the young folks are mostly
broad and of the capeline order. The
straws are supple so that they may
be readily pnched up into any sort
of shape. The fabric hat-that Is
to say of batiste or linen. is of broad
shape and very becoming. These are
more popular than last year if pos
sible and may be worn upon almost
any occasions according TO the hat.
These are sitter than the straw hats
because they are made over wire
frames.

blanching celery may be selected for
the home garden, and this should be
planted in rows two and n half feet
apart, and not closer than six inches
in the row. The tall sorts take up a
good deal Of room in the garden.
The best day for planting celery Is
Il dull one, when the sun will not
have a chance to burn the roots of
the young plants. 1t might be well to
soak these before removing from the
seedbed or box, so that the roots will
more quickly mingle with the soil in
the new home. Another good plan Is
to trim off the tOps-say one-third-
and dip the roots in water. AS re-
suit of this the plants win send out
strong healthy roots. before throwing
energy into the tops.

NINE MONTHS OLD PLYMOUTH ROCK cAPoNs

planted in the greenhouse. One of
these was treated with the imported
German fertilizer, another was left
without any fertilizer at all. and the
tnird was fertilized with finely ground
common granite. The granite was
high in potash, but it had not been
treated in any way, and if the expert
ment succeeded it simply meant that
there was a big new field of home
grown fertilizer open to the farmer.
When the crops of tobacco were
cut, the imported fertilizer had pro-
duced crop of green leaf that weighed
155 pounds. The powdered granite
produced a crop of 154 pounds and
the unfertilized crop was spotted and
ran only about 100 pounds.
This crop was examined by the eX-
perts, and so far as could be told, the
leaf was not only just as heavy, but
of just as good texture in the granite
fertilized patch as in the patch on
which the German fertilizer had been
used. The crop is being dried now,
and it will take q long time before
II is all fermented and properly cured
so that it can be made up for smok-
ing and tested in that way.
But that was greenhouse expert
ment, and greenhouse work to field
work is about like laboratory expert
ments to commercial work. What
succeeds under glass may or may not
go out of doors. But the department
was so well pleased with the results,
that it has tried the new fertilizer on
crops of tobacco up in Connecticut, In
Virginia, Kentucky and Florida.
These crops are now under way, and
there is great deal of interest felt
in the success of the work out of
doors. The principal question seems
to be whether there will be enough
water in the natural rainfall to make
the potash in the ground rock avail
able for the plants. During Ii ything
like decently wet season there is lit
tie question that there would be
water in plenty. But it is possible
that for very dry crop there will
have TO be as much as a tenth of inn
ported fertilizer added to the native
rock.
A VAST SAVING.
The ground rock. on the other hand
can be produced for about SO a ton,
and there is so much of it in the
country that runs high in potash and
Is available for use that the supply
could never be cornered. 1t is true
that the native fertilizer takes about
two tons to give the same results as
one ton of the soluble imported salts.
But this amounts to SO for fertilizer
against 800 or 500. So the result Is
not bad.
Several mills are already being
erected, one in Maryland and one In
New England, for grinding rock for
just this purpose, and there are
number of other concerns that have
talked of going into the business be-
fore even the field experiments of the
department are finished.
The outlook is for a very important
change in the fertilizing business In
this country. Just where the credit
for the work ultimately will land is a
question. 1t probably will not be

of it from the farmers but thanks, for
that is what the department is there
for.
1t Is discovery, which. If it ''pans
out" Is of immense Importance to
agriculture. There are many crops,
such as tobacco and tomatoes, which
require excessive proportions Of pot
ash, while all complete fertilizers con-
tain liberal percentages. Potash is
one of the trinity which makes plant
growth possible-potash, nitrogen and
phosphorus.

New Potash Discovery.

one series of experiments have just
been concluded by the Department OF
Agriculture that promise to be of I'm
mense value to the farmers of the
country in furnishing them with n
new supply of fertilizer at very much
cheaper rates than has ever been pos
sible before, and at the same time
emancipating this country from Ger
many. which has heretofore furnished
almost our entire supply of potash
fertilizer 1t is long and quite an
interesting story, and probably will
mean Il great deal to agriculture in
this country. The most remarkable
part of it is, too, that the idea origin
ated in the bureau of roads, which
nOminally has nothing to do with fer
tilizers.
Last summer when DR.. Cushman OF
the roads Office was working in the
laboratory with very finely powdered
rock. the idea struck him, as it has
struck a good many other chemists,
that it was a natural born shame
that this country, with an unlimited
supply of rock high in its percentage
of potash, should have to depend on
other countries for its potash salts, for
there has never been any commercial
deposits of the salts found in this coun-
try as it is i'm Germany. He extracted
some of the potash by electricity,
though it is by no means certain yet
that this can be done on a paying
commercial basis. But then he de-
cided that as ground rock was very
cheap it might be worth while to try
the experiment of letting the plants
do their own extracting. He tried
the experiment on his own place up
country and found that the powdered
rock did actually act as a fertilizer
though the potash it carried was so
tied up that it took the chemistry of
nature to extract it and feed it into
the plant. But the first trial prom
ised well.

CapOns and CaDOnizing.
BY CHARLES ]. FILLING.

Capons are aptly termed the "finest
chicken meat in the world" for there
is nothing growing feathers which is
their superior, if equal. A capon is
neither rooster nor hen-it is nothing
else than Il capon. After removing
the organs of reproduction from the
cockerel, its nature becomes entirely
changed. The birds take on a more
rapid growth, are more tame, awkward
in carriage and always exceedingly
lazy; they grow very heavy and
beautiful plumage, the comb and
wattles cease to grow, the spurs do
not develop as in the cOckerel, and
being cast off by both rooster and hen
the capon soon shows q fondness for
the society of little chicks.
