 I have your request to give you the best proportion in which to mix cot ton seed, acid phosphate and muriate Of potash. to make a complete fertiii- ger for corn. find that corn needs more nitrogen and relatively less phos- phate than cotton. Hence. I suggest the following fertilizer formula. for corn. the whole or half of which amount may be used on one acre; fifteen bush els t500 pounds) cotton seed, 100 pounds acid phosphate. This will give you approximately 1-s per cent avail able phosphoric acid. ? 1-2 per cent nitrogen, per cent potash.
 think corn needs very little potash and believe that the cotton seed in above formula contains enough of this material for you to dispense with mu- riate of potash for corn, (but not for cotton, in your part of the State.)
 There are no available bulletins from any station and no text books on ter racing. Local usage Is usalfy the best guide as to the best method of stopping hill side washes. Ordinarily this is by throwing in and stalking down brush. with or without blowing down the edges of the gully. If the land is to be used for pasturage. the planting Of Bermuda grass at intervals across the gully is an advantage. I have seen
  which of course required dams of clay wherever the ditch crossed a gully. We have a bulletin of corn now in press. J. F. D. Cotton Seed Meal or Blood Meais Your recent request for an opinion as to the value of blood meal as a sub stitute for cotton seed meal for an early crop of Irish potatoes is at hand. I should be governed in my choice be- tween these two nitrogenous fertilizers solely by the cost per pound of nitro gen in each. Since you find that how in your locality the nitrogen is cheaper in the blood meal, it will be advisable to use that No harmful result will follow the mixing of blood meal with acid phosphate and with any of the potash salts. Blood meal, though con- sidered little more quickly available than cotton seed meal, will show but slight difference in this respect.

The latest in wells is the "iirta-
tion," three yards long, made Of
washable chiffon and woadcousiy
hand-painted on the ends.
One of the advantages Of the
corselet skirt is that when the Jacket
is removed it is far more complete
than the usual skirt and blouse.
Small dainty clusters Of lilies AMI
moss roses, are selling well. Many
other combinations are shown, but
these two are about the best.
If designs not too large + chosen
one can make very pretty collar-and-
cuff sets with the shadow embroidery
on fine lawn. Use plenty Of lace to
soften.
Long scarfs Of wide gauze printed
with large floral designs are shown
for the neck, but it is doubtful If they
will be used in any quantity for that
purpose.
Wide gauze metal ribbons in both
silver and gold are shown, both in
plain effects and with printed floral
designs and a few are exhibited with
small broche spots.
This rage for the monochrome in
dress has brought out innumerable
new tints and shades for every color,
and made permissible the use Of al
most as many different materials in
combination.
Pansies are in favor and are
shown in all the natural colors from
pale mauve to deep purple. Pastille
colors in violets, cowslips, h~yacinths,
forget-me-nots, anemones, acacias
and lilacs are all good.
Foliage of all descriptions is in
good demand, but the most favored
has q slight frosting in pastille tones
to blend with the colors Of the flow
ers with which it is used.
Some of the most fetching crea-
lions are those in which silk, velvet,
cloth, ribbon and perhaps even chif-
fon, lace and mousseline in different
shades are blended carefully. But
there is the point. They must be
cleverly blended, else a crazy-quilt
effect is produced, and for that ca
son the home dressmaker snoald
wisely select some other style upon
which to try her proves.

Soy Beans and Cowpcas.

The soy bean and cowpea may be
successfully grown on almost any soil
OF reasonable fertility. Like the
common field pea, both require good
drainage and easily suffer from ex-
cessive wet, but will do much better
during periods OF dry weather. For
the best results a good corn soil
should be chosen. II properly inocu-
lated, both crops will do we'll where
corn would suffer seriously from lack
Of nitrogen. For use in a regular TO-
tation they should precede corn or
winter wheat. In the latter case the
ground does not need to be plowed
for the wheat.
The preparation of the soil should
be similar to that best suited to corn.
It should be deeply plowed and the
seed bed made fine and mellow. A
loose, deep seed bed is essential to
success.
Both the soy bean and COW pea are

and fill each compartment with a
different vegetable and n CIR more

Shopping Etiquette for Women.

Etiquette among women seems to
be forgotten when they enter the
shopping district. How many women
engaged in the life and death stfug-
gle OF gaining a So shirtwaist for
$1.9S remember their ladyhood when
their best friend holds a waist which
they covet? Were it not better a
thousand times that a third woman
should bear off the uncertain prize,
than that friends should come to
grief in a primitive fight for posses
sion?- However, primitive as it may
be to struggle W. bargain counters,
it is also a waste of energy, and the
woman who has evoluted furthest
obtains what she wants in a subtler
fashion. She sees that there is just
one waist which she wants in that
sale, and thai it is in the hand of her
neighbor. Does she snatch it from
her? No; she selects an inferior one
next to it, studies it absorbingly, in
CURES the price, and seems about to
purchase. Such is the psychology OF
woman that the neighbor drops the
one waist to observe the other, and
she nor any one else is the wiser
when the former is borne away in
triumph. Is it trickery, then, that
is coming in vogue? Well, even so.
it is better than pitched battles, and
the modern m who thinks finds
that courtesy pays. Shopping is
woman's fetch, but let her elevate
the worship with consideration, and
rnnnnmhop fhof co1ncUynrann orn nor
automatoRs, wound up in the morn
ing warranted to run all day. They
are the shoppers best friends or
dearest foes. The less she takes of
their time and endurance the pleas
anter will be her shopping excursion.
Here are a few hints which will help
every oma better to appreciate
these much-tired sisters:
When you are just looking do
not disturb the clerks. You can get
all the information you require by
keeping your eyes open as you walk
through the shops.
Never start to buy an article until
you have money in your purse or in
the bank. It is a keen disappoint-
ment to a clerk to work up a sale and
then have it spoiled by the customer
suddenly remembering that she can
rot buy to-day"
Then again, do not be sharp OF dis
agreeable if the clerk is Indifferent.
She has become accustomed to shop
pers who are cleaning ideas by which
to make their summer w~ardrobes- at
home. She doubtless places you in
this class, so that it will pay you to
tell her at the start that you are
ready to buy in case you can find just
what you want.-Washington Times.

warm weather plants and should not
be soWn early in the season. AS a
general rule the best time to SOW is
after corn planting is finished and
the soil has become thoroughly
warm. The seed should be deeply
covered. 1t should be sown in drills,
and the crops cultivated like corn un-
til the soy bean blooms and the COW
pea begins to vine. For grain pro-
duction, drilling and cultivating are
always best, but for hay production
fair results may be secured from
broadcast seeding on ground free or
weeds. The rows should be thirty
two inches apart for the soy beans
and twenty-four inches apart for the
coWpea, and both seeded at the rate
of twenty to twenty-five pounds of
seed per acre for the medium-sized
varieties. Seeding may be done with
a wheat drill set at two bushels per
acre on the wheat scale, and with
the holes not needed stopped up.
Thick seeding is detrimental to seed
production.
Some soils need to be inoculated
with the proper bacteria for one or
both crops before satisfactory results
can be secured. This need can only
be determined by trial and by exam
ination of the roots for the nodules.
If needed, incubation may be best
accomplished by sowing before the
last narrowing when preparing the
seed bed, 200 or 500 pounds per
acre of soil taken from a field where
the crops have been grown and the
bacteria are known to exist. With
out the bacteria the crops must Sc
cure their nitrogen, from the soil,
and under such conditions draw
heavily upon it's fertility.
For hay production the cowpea
will generally give best results. 1t
should be cut when the first pods be-
gin to riDen and cured rs in the case
of clover. Either the Early Black
eye, Whippoorwill, New Era, Michi-
gan Favorite, Iron, Clay, Red Ripper
or unknown varieties may be used.
For grain production either crop
may be used in the South, but in the
northern portion of Indiana the soy
bean will usually be most profitable.
Tbs Ito San, Early Browns and @e-
dunn Early Yellow tlnts] r among
the best varieties.
Harvesting should be done when
most of the leaves have fallen and
most of the pods are ripe. An old
fashioned self-rake reaper OF a now
er with a side delivery attachment
will be found satisfactory for har-
vesting. Threshing may be done
with the ordinary threshing machine,
with the lower concave removed and
replaced by a board and u at low
speed. A corn shredder may also be
used for threshing.-A. T. Wiancko,
Purdue University.

Meat in the South.

The Washington Post has this to
say about the meat scandals and the
South's relation to them:
''It seems in order to say however,
that at least Southern towns, cities
and communities have no right to
complain. If at any time they have
suffered, either in their stomachs OF
their pockets, because of the high
price or the unwholesome character
Of Chicago meat products, they have
only themselves to blame. There has
never been the smallest reason why
they should not feedthemselves from
their own herds, focks, fields, diaries
and barnyards. The South is rich in
farming and grazing lands, and the
inhabitants thereof can raise, beef
cattleS sheep, hogs, poultry and veg
etables of the very finest quality and
in unlimited quantity if they choose.
Why need they go to Chicago, Kan
sas City, Omaha or any ether distant
market for food which they car pro-
duce themselves? And if they per-
sist in a policy so unnecessary and
SO improvident, they might have the
grace to realize hat it is their fault
and refrain from condemnation of
others. The pastures of the South
can turn out as good beef and NUT
ton as the stockyards of Chicago can.
Southern farmers are capable of fur
nishing as high-class butter, milk,
eggs, ETC., as any farms in Iowa or
Kansas. Why, then, do not the
Southern people help themselves in
stead of calling upon Hercules to
help them and filling the air with
complaint and inprecation when he
fails to answer to their satisfaction?
I'VE do not pretend to pronounce
upon the truth, or lack of truth, in
all these nauseous den%unciations Of
the packing houses. We are quite
sure, however, that the Southern peo-
pie would be in much better business
to set about the task of caring for
themselves. 1t is not at all necessary
for them to be dependent on import
ed food of any kind. When they be-
wall the hardships inflicted on them
by the Western trusts, they remind
US of nothing so much as of the
Texas ranch owner, thirty years ago
denouncing the quality of the con-
aensed milk he got from Minnesota"

Value of a Correct Walk.

A woman who leads a very active
life has a theory that the p~reserva-
ton of a good figure depends to some
extent on the manner OF walking.
Many people, she says, as they ad-
n in years allow themselves to
walk heavily and without elasticity,
SO hat the whole weight rests ON the
lower part of the limbs at every step,
the only effect Of exercise being wear
mess of the legs and feet. Instead
of this the body should be held erect
and poised SO as to have a perfect
balance; in this way the muscles are
braced and strengthened throughout.
the lungs must of necessity be well
expanded.

CATCHES RABBITS IN NUMBER.
Victim Traps Himself and Resets


Victim Traps Himself and Resets
The Snare for Others.
Consul General Bray reports frcE
Melbourne that a new rabbit trap is
being used in Australia. with great
success, whereby rabbits may be
caught alive in very large numbers.
It is used in connection with small
trap yards, diagrams for the construc-
tion of which are supplied by the
patentee of the traps. The trap it.
self is 18 inches Ions, II inches high
and 6 inches in width. 1t has a bal.
anced moving floor n a door al
each end, which opens and closes au-
tomatically. The weight OF a rabbit
on the inverse end Of a floor clcses
the door behind him by which he has
entered and opens the door in front
leading to the trap yard, so that the
rabbit has no option but to go on,
and when he leaves the trap it goes
book to its former position, thus re-
setting itself. The small trap yards
are constructed of doIble-Wire netting
fences, in the spaces between wajsh
green fodder or hay is cultivated Or
provided, and, although these foods
cannot be reached by. the rabbits, it
entices them to enter through the
traps to try and get out tle fodder
from the other side. Two, three CT
more traps may be used in onnec
ton with each trap yard. The iEyen-
ton has been tried with great sue
cess on several extensive ranches in
Australia, and the inventor has a
number of certificates from leading
ranchmen, one Of whom states tha;
with two Of the traps set at a small
water hole he caught $50 rabbits IN
one night.

Too Many Good Looking Girls.

In their efforts to discover the rea-
sons for the declining marriage rate
some of the seekers after truth find
certain explanations which sound
very strange. The latest idea on the
subject is that there are toe many
good looking girls. Young Dlen did
not always have the same selection
a S they have in our day. There were,
of course, pretty and beautiful girls
in all ages, but they were fewer than
at present. Athletic exercises and
intelligent care Of the body, assisted
by higher education, have evolved a
race of girls which is, as a race, far
superior to the generation to which
our grandmothers belonged. What
splendid girls one sees evcrywhere!"
is a common cry nowadays. Well,
having such a~feast Of p~rettiEess, so
to speak; the young men have grown
exacting and want still mor They
are Constantly on the watch for
something better still, and so they
wait, and wait, till they either be-
come confirmed bachelors, or reach
middle age and marry a young won
an for other charms than beauty!
That does not mean that beauty
never gets a chance of marriage. Not
at all! Yet it results in a decreased
number OF marriages. In addition to
the fact that some men become bach
elors, there is the parallel fact that
the young women who have had to
wait often decide to remain single
and retire, for all practical purposes,

Boots tn Match.

Undoubtedly the smartest boot for
Ene wear matches the costume. For
a plum-cOlored or navy-blue costume
in broadeloth the ideal boot is made
of finest leather (patent, shiny or
mat, Is one prefers), with the tops
to match. Whatever the color worn,
this holds good, and it is good style
with gray or white. Cheaper, yet
smart, are CATERS to match the
dress. White ones are affected with
black velvet dresses, while mode and
gray are generally worn. 1t is smart
est to have them match the dress, ex-
cept the light ones are worn in mar
