no longer arouse the whole neighbor

contrary become models of good dis

surely bring large returns to the

TRIM COATS FOR SMALL FOLKS.

coat style being of full length while
dress sleeves usually end at the ell
bow.
A 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 a
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 frocl 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
for 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 pinched up into any sort
of shape The fabric hat--that is

shape and very becoming. These are
more popular than last year If pos.

any occasions according to the hat

planted in the greenhouse. One Of
these was treated with the imported
German fertilizer, another was left
without any fertilizer at all, aud the
third was fortified with finely ground
common granite. The granite was
high in potash, but II 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
1856 pounds. The powdered granite
produced crop Of 154 pounds and
the unfertilizeG crop was spotted and
ran only about 100 pounds.
This crop was examined by the ex-
berts, and 80 far as could be told, the
leaf was not only just as heavy, but
of just as good texture In the granite
fortified patch as in the patch on
which the German fertilizer had been
used. The crop Is being dried now,
and II will take long time before
it is all fermented and properly cured

ment, and greenhouse work to field
work is about like laboratory expert
ments to commercial worla What
succeeds under glass may or may not
go out Of doors. But the department
was so we'll 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 a great deal Of interest fell
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 anything
like a decently wet season there is lit
tie question that there would b.
water in plenty. But it is possible
that for q very dry crop there viii
have to be as much as a tenth Of i'm
ported fertilizer added to the native
rock.
A VAST SAVING.
The ground rock, on the other hand
can be produced for about SO ton
and there is so much Of it in tn
country that runs high in potash an,
is available for use that the suppl
could never be c0rnered. 1t is tru
that the native fertilizer takes abou
two tons to give the same results a
one ton of the soluble imported salts
But this amounts to SO for fertilize
against 500 OF 800. So the result

number of other concerns that hav
talked of going into the business bt

department are finished.
The outlook Is for a very impOrta1
change in the fertilizing business

for the work ultimately will land is

To Determine Length of Dav.

BY simple rule the length of the
day and night at any time of the year
may be ascertained. BY doubling the
time Of the suns rising, the length Of
the night is obtained, and by doubling
the time of setting the length of the
day is given Thus when the sun
rises, say at FIVE o'clock, the length
Of the night is ten hours.

Cap0ns nre aptiy termed the "hnest
chicken meat In the world" for there
is nothing growing feathers which Is
their superior, II equal A capon IL
neither rooster nor hen--lt II nothing
else than a capOn. After removing
the organs Of reproduction from the
cockerel, It's nature becomes entirely
changed. The birds take on a more
rapid growth, are more tame, awkward
in carriage aud always exceedingly
lazy; they grow a 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 a fondness for
the society of little chicks.

ordinary wear there are pique, linen
and neutral fabrics fashioned into
froeks OF simplicity and trim style.
The dressy gowns for young girls are
simple too, but not without some de
gree OF elegance. Many OF the skirts
have one or two aounces about the
lower edge and these are often set
on With deep bands OF embroidery or
lace. Tucks and fufiles are much
