HOW TO SUCCEED WITH CLOVER.


q. Burns Huyett, West VirSinia-)
Why does clover fail is question
that hundreds of farmers are asking
Most writer's tell us that we have been
turning under vegetable matter and
applying acid phosphates so long
that our land has become sour AS
clover does not like an acid soil, we
are no longer able to grow the crop as
formerly If this IS. the case, a light
application OF lime will put the land
in shape to grow clover again. II
may be that our land IS clover sick
that is. a heavy crop of clover has
been taken of the land and condi-
ton has been set up in the soil that
viii prevent it from growing clover
for a number of years.
Experiments with clover in England
have been made by Laws and Gilbert
for so years. and they say that no di-
rect supply of manure, in ordinary
form Of farm yard dung, or Of the cur
rent artificial fertilizers, Is capable of
restoring the soil from which a heavy
condition Of immediate productiveness
1CG the same crop II InlS IS true, IL
seems that in cases OF clover sick
land the best thing to do would be to
practice form Of fve-year, rotation
and thus get our land in, shape for cIo-
yer. We often get a stand Of clover
in the spring and at harvest our crop
looks all right Then, We are apt to
let it shift for itself thinking that our
clover crop for the following year
| is a. sure thing.
| Right here is where we make great
mistake for ravaged- foxtail and other
filth spring up. shade the clover and
pump the moisture out OF the, soil:
Consequently, when a short drouth
comes our clover periShes, and the
following springs find up without our
desired crop. All this trouble can be
! avoided by running our mower over
/ the field and clipping the weeds and
stubble just above the tops of the
young clover, and instead of'the filth
i being Ietriment to the crop, it acts
as beneficial mulch, and helps retain
the moisture In the soil for the ten
der clover.-American Asriculturalist.

the subject OF constant remark that
the two principals In this great event
conducted themselves SO modestly and
in a matter Of fact manner. They were
subject to more scrutiny than would
have been an engaged couple in
country village, but they acted as
though unconscious of the interest
they were exciting Just as in the vii
lage the gossips discussed every move
word and act Of the prospective bride
and groom so in Washington the every
day life of Mr.. Longworth and Miss
Roosevelt was examined and every
step taken criticised or commented
upon.
Mr.. Longworth was perhaps the most
bored person in connection with the
whole affair. He had to pay the pun
ishment Of falling in love with the
presidents daughter. That he was
really and truly in love with her
there could be no sort of doubt and
80 he endured the jokes and chatting
of his congressional colleagues, the in
trusion and impudence of the public as
bravely and good naturally as ever did
knight of old as he went out seeking
adventures for his lady love. At first
the bushes would spread over "Nick's"
countenance and suffuse the shining
badness of his head, but as time wore
on he could even occupy the speakers
chair and encounter the glances and
curious stares from the galleries and
the floor without so much as an addi-
tlonal tinge of color to his cheek.
Miss Roosevelt, now Mrs. Long
worth, did not change one iota in her
demanor or manner of life. She took
the affair as a matter of course and
she inherits from her father the fac
ulty of not worrying about anything,
but meeting the circumstances and
necessities as they come.

10 olvE EMPIRE EFFEcT.
The Corset Departments Are Chang
ing Their Wares to Suit the EN-
pire Models Now the Fancy.


Slowly but surely a note Of NOVELTIES
creeping into all departments Of dress
accessories, and. though a hasty tour
through the shops may reveal to the
careless observer little that is new
save in spring dress materials, there are
among the familiar and somewhat shop
worn articles that clutter the counters
various novelties that indicate the trend
Of fashions current.
The corset departments are parttc-
ularly emphatic In prophecy, and many
Of the very newest models indicate
clearly the lines demanded in the fash
ionable figure by the latest frock ideas
The modish woman must adopt siren
nous measures for reducing Of her hips
In order that she may wear gracefully
the popular princesse gowns and be
ready for the empire models II they &C
tually obtain general favor. Bullness OF
bust is also desirable in connection with
the princesse and empire lines, and the
high bust is demanded by all the most
successful bodice models of the day.
Many women are compromising 'twixt
fashion and comfort by wearing the
short corsets to which they have become
devoted during the reign OF the blouse
and DOMINIC, in addition, bust sup
porter which will give the correct bust
lines. There are even new corset mod
els made with back cut all in one, but
with a front divided into girdle and a
bust support, and allowing the comfort
in which the corset makers have in
dulged women during the past few years.
With empire gowns some women are
discarding corsets altogether in favor Of
o bust support and corset makers are
experimenting with these little corset
jackets and producing host of dainty
little models to meet the rising demand.
There are, for example, short corset
waists terminating just below the bust,
and made of inch and a-half-wide satin
ribbons woven In and out In basket
fashion.
These bust supporters are charmingly
trimmed with frills Of lace and ribbon
knots, and wide elastic matching the
satin forms shoulder straps and is set in
the sides under the arms so that, despite
the support, absolute freedom is given to
the wearer. other bust supporters are

cate tint trimmed in soft frills of creamy

and the substance which strikes hav-
ing a rapid motion, it is suddenly ar
rested in its downward course by the
stick across the wine-glasses, and it
passes through 1t, or breaks it, be-
cause there is not time enough for the
momentum of the blow to spread
along the stick and break the glasses.
Another illustration is firing a candle
through an inch board. If a gun be
loaded with powder, and candle just
fitting the barrel is inserted in place
of bullet, and the gun fired against
a door or other piece of wood, the can
die will pass through, leaving a clean,
smooth hole, because when the candle
comes to the door, it is evident some
thing must give way, and as the can
die is moving fast, it actually has not
time to break, and the wood is per-
forated.
