Alice Roosevelt's Wedding Trousseau
All of American Manufacture

AIiss Rooseyelt's wedding gown
IL fact. the entire trousseau-is of
American manufacture. The material
o; heavy pearl white satin and bro
o;Lde, was designed especially for the
White House bride by firm in Pater-
son. n. ]. This same firm designed
and manufactured Mrs. Roosevelt's
famous Inauguration gown brocade.
Miss Roosevelt selected her own de-
sign. 1t is a fine cross pattern with
q crescent scattered at irregular in
tervals. This brocaGe will be used
in the full court train of three yards,
while the plain satin will make the
bodice and panels.
Nearly all of Miss Roosevelt's trous-
scau is in the hands of a Baltimore
modiste firm that has gowned three
generations of the Washington and
Baltimore set.
Miss Roosevelt will become Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth Jr.. in princess
robe, built on severely plain lines. Her
robe will be fashioned according to
court regulations, for it is to do dua!
service, first at the wedding and then
at the court of King Edward VII. The
train will measure three yards and
VIII come from the back widths and
swell into billowy folds, with a soft
rutfle of chiffon peeping beneath.
Miss Roosevelt. who has gained the
reputation of being one Of the best
sowned women in America, has spent
much thought on the details of her
bridal robe. The bodice will be en-
broidered in seed pearls and n wide
leaf design of soft silk Some rare
old lace which has adorned the wed
ding finery of several generations of
the Lees, the maternal ancestors of
the bride, will be draped on the
sleeves and form bertha effect A
veil of tulle and orange blossoms will
complete the toilet, and Miss Roose.
welt may carry an ivory prayer book,
which her mother used wnen she be-
came the bride of Theodore Roosevelt.
Some of the evening gowns which
Miss Roosevelt is having built may
give Londoners and Parisians a new
idea Of American fabrics and Amer-
can dressmakers. One gown is pale
green tissue built over deep yellow
moire with drapery of frosted leaves
and exquisitely embroidered bodice
Another evening gown is fetching
combination Of fine silk lace, tulle and
satin in deep cream. with drapery and
combinations OF the most effective
style.

Green Food for Winter Poultry

Poultry needs something green dur.
ing the winter and by providing 1t We
get good results from our hens In the
cold weather when anything green Is
not to be had unless saved and put
away in the fall. We raise a good
many late cabbages and there are
loose heads which are not worth
much, SO We trench them for the
hens. The hens also seem to be yery
fond Of celery leaves. We put the
leaves and outer stalks in a large
pile. The outside stalks and leaves
freeze. but those underneath stay nice
and green and are not much trouble
to get at. We find 1t pays well as our
hens have been laying continually
since moulting and we have been SUD-
plying our neighbors with eggs at IS

chickens. too, but think it Is too much
trouble to provide green food for them

Productivity Of Land.

The productivity OF lana is far
greater than is usually thought posi-
Bile. Nature does not show what land
will do, and not till man applies to
piece of land all the science that is
known will it bring out what is in it.
Man can help Nature to make a piece
of land productive. He can drain it,
stir it up and let in the sunshine and
the air. He can, moreover, put upon
it the kind of crop that will hear
the heaviest. The wise man will Sc
lect Tor his land the crop that will
be the most suitable for Il, and will
in that way increase its possibilities.
Growing on a piece of land crop
not suited for it is one of the easiest
ways of losing money.

George Feeney, who died recently in
Wilmington, Del, was the engineer

the brakeman. In describing the oc-
currence Markstone stated:
George ran so fast that when New

Root Systen of the Corn Plant

The root system of the corn plant is
many times greater than most persons
suppose 1t to be. While it Is true that
the corn plant Is in the main sur.
face feeder. 1t Is also true that me
smaller roots are very long and pene-
trate the earth to a great depth. At
one Of the stations a cube of ground
around corn plant was cut out whole
and the roots Of the corn plant washed

had sent its roots 10 depth Of about
four feet and that they spread three
and half feet from the corn plant

Feed Of the Colt.

The feed of the colt should be lib.
eral. that he may, be kept growing
from the first. In the wintertime the
colt is sometimes neglected, just as
he is in midsummer. A period of
stunting will result in reducing the
size Of the future horse. When poor
feed and poor care are combined,
the result is about certain to be dis
astrous. AS soon as the colt is old
enough to eat grain and hay, he
should be given little grain with his
hay every day. This grain. too, should
bo something other than corn. which
is unsuited TO the development of the
growing animal.

Training of jap Soldiers.

The Japanese official organ. the
kokumin, comparing the Japanese
with foreign soldiers, says: They
are brought up in the idea that it is
their common duty to serve with the
colors and die in the defense of their
country in case Of emergency. so that
they can rise in their valor and fidel-
ity above those of other countries,
who either make fighting the occupa-
tion of their caste or follow it as mer-
cenaries. England is not quite up to
Japan in the matter of this principle
