. EASILY GROWN VINES.
Boston Ivy and Virginia Creeper Two
:. ! :stand-Bys-Some Beautiful
B1ossoming Vines.

Not alone may the veranda be
beautified with vines. The wall of a
brick or stone house may be given
living coat of green, which will be a
joy to the lovers Of nature. The Bos-
ton ivy and the Virginia creeper, two
vines known through America, cling.
to walls without support, and SO are
especially useful for this purpose.
The former is not as. hardy as the
latter, but. in the middle and south
ern ATTITUDES it succeeds we'll and
forms beautiful mass against a WALL
The Virginia creeper is perfectly
hardy. 1t will hide ugly stone fences,
outbuildings and dead trees, trans
forming them into things of beauty.
The rapid growing Virgins Bower
is an excellent vine for a veranda,
giving dense shade. It presents a
snowy bank. of star-shaped white flow
ers of delightful fragrance, which last
for several weeks. A companion va
riety, Clematis coccinea, has rose.col-
ored flowers, which resemble half
closed rose beds from a = distance
The wistaria Is a good vine for a
trellis, but is somewhat coarse for
most verandas, being better suited for
the rustic house or pergola, where its
delightful purple flowers hang in
graceful profusion. The Crimson
Rambler rose vine is perhaps one of
the .surest, hardest and most satisfac-
tory of vines, admirably suited for
the veranda or almost any other place.
It grows rapidly and blooms in great
abundance. Bitter sweet is an excel
lent vine of rich foliage, which be-
comes highly colored in the autumn
and is often followed by a mass of
scarlet fruit, which hangs for long
time-Brooklyn Eagle.

I'm sorry for your sake there is not

Mot on your life!" Johnny held
out his palm and 81 emptied the con-
tents of the purse into 1t. A shrewd
look that transformed his face came
into his eyes.
'Thirteen!" he said, covering the
money with his other palm, as If he
were about to match pennies. "Thir.
teen is my lucky number"
That's enough now said the de-
tective. "Chase yourself out OF here. "
Johnny ratified his wealth. He had
no fear of the detective now.

leaf from her note book and wrote:

Sixty-one folded the note and was
about to give it to Johnny when a
thought occurred to her that made her
blush crimson, and she blurted:
Johnny, can you read?"

phatically. There" and she pressed
the note into Johnny's hand and closed
his fingers over it. You keep it just
like that till you give it to Mr.. Har-

Needless to say, Johnny got a job.

it was lovely. .55.'~
AS we said before, there are many
ways in which waists are cut out at
the neck. The one but slightly
square is pretty fashion: the one
with a slight dip in front just below
the chin, another style meeting with
favor. The design shown here is that
of blouse with quite a deep cut, to
be worn for dressy occasions. Lin

and gives daintiness to the jaunty COS
tunes. A new touch is the introduc-
ton of lace under null, the trimming
showing through, looking shadowy
and Elusive, just the thing for the
illusion-like waist. i.
OF course all sleeves are short, and
the way Of finishing the neck may
be followed in the finish Of the sleeve.
For instance, 9 blouse with a square
neck edged with insertion will have
a pulled sleeve, with simple band of
insertion, the sleeve stopping above
the elbow, having no frill at the bot
tom. The surplice waist with low-cut
v is pretty, and becoming to the wom-
an with plump neck. rs: ..--.,....
Many of the sleeves stop well above
the elbow. One pretty silk bodice had
longish pun OF sleeve edged with
rows of shirring and. a frill, from in
side the frill extended a close cuff of
lace, the lace coming just to the ell
bow. Another waist had a similar
sleeve, but the lace was omitted, the
sleeve very short. Some Of the
blouses are accompanied by, remov-
able. chemisettes; one may have at
choice high neck or low. And 7 of
course this may. be carried out In the
sleeves, detachable undersleeves made

stitched just 50, far. And becoming

elbow. There is also q neat sleeve,

them project out sufficiently far at one

:: AS to my own practice in the rota-
ton Of crops,rI would say that I have
to be governed much by circum-

stances is the chance of getting the
land seeded at every course of rota-

those chances by our present system,

AQUARIUM HATCHERY WORK
Nearly a Million Young Fry Turned

Very nearly 100000 little fishes-their
number computed at ,998, 900, to be ex-
act-have been Matched out in the
.Aquarium's model hatchery thus far in
the present season, the last to be turned
out to date being big lot of yellow
perch, some of these from eggs of speci-
mems in the Aquarium, and some from
eggs received from the state fish hatch
cry at Cold Spring Harbor, says the
New York Sum-. F.
These yellow perch will be used for
restocking with this species the waters
IN the city parks, and many have al
ready been placed in the lake in Pros
pect Park. 1884,: 1872 T.
Next before the yellow perch Matched
out here in the present season, were a
large lot Of salt water smelts, these also
from eggs received from the Cold
Spring hatchery. The salt water smelt
goes up into inlets in the spawning sea-
son, and like the shad, for instance, up
streams to spawn. The young smelts
Matched out in the Aquarium's hatch

The Way the Farmer Can Learn
Which ertr ec+ Is Paying.
Him Profit.

Before any man engaged in business
of any kind can know whether or not
his business is paying: him a profit
above the cost OF production, he must
determine what is the cost Of produc-
ton. This is always done by n.er-
chants and manufacture and rarely
done by farmers. Yet there is no class
of business men who need careful ac-
counts more than the farmer If he
wishes to prosper and not merely drift.
For the farmer, who is in reality con-
Quoting several businesses at once.
may be losing in one department what
he is making in another. He depends
upon the size OF his bank account or
the condition of the family mortgage
to measure his success. One man who
had been keeping his books on the
was induced to make accurate account
of every kind of work done on his
farm: He found that his beef cattle.
his hogs and his wheat field were all
losing ventures, that the dairy paid
fair profit, and that the poultry de-
partment was the most profitable OF
all. Who can deny in the face of such
a revelation that knowledge is power?
A great many farmers would like to
know what bushel of corn costs, or
gallon of milk, or a pound OF live pork.
but they are either too ,indolent or too
ignorant to get down to business and
find out.
| Take first an inventory of all prop
! erty; then record cost of articles 1)ur-
chased and the price received for every
species of produce sold. It then re-
| quires an estimate, based upon market
values, of every item produced upon
the farm. 1t means a proper valuation
estimate for rent or interest; insur-
ance; depreciation in value of stock
and merchandise; wear and tear. After
some study of the matter every man
will evolve scheme which seems best
suited to his own needs.
Mr.. F. H. Scribner of Rosendale.
Wis, is business farmer, says the
Farmers Voice. He has a herd of IS
beautiful Jerseys, all registered and
many of them prize winners. He has
80 acres of land which at one time
wouldn't grow weeds, but now Is near
the top notch of fertility. At our re-
quest he has furnished few figures
which will be OF interest, both as to
their absolute value to the farmer and
stockman and also as showing how
careful business methods are rewarded
