Valuable Discoveries Made mt the
Dakota Agricultural College.
How much Professor Bolley of the
North Dakota Agricultural College is
accomplishing for the farmers of the
world through his patient and thorough
Investigations in plant life it is not
easy to estimate. A single one Of his
discoveries-that of the formaldehyde
treatment for smut-has already been
worth many millions of dollars to the
agriculturists of the United States and
the entire world.
Thirteen years ago he found that
this hitherto unconquerable enemy OF
the grain grower could be effectually
prevented by bathing seed in a simple
and inexpensive chemical solution made
by dissolving one pound of formalde-
hyde, 40 per cent strength, in forty
five gallons of water and using three
fourths of gallon of this solution to a
bushel of wheat. oats or barley and
one-half gallon to a bushel of flax.
For many years he could not per-
suade a single farmer to adopt his plan.
They looked upon him as q scientific
dreamer, an impracticable experiment
er. and laughed at his theories. 1t was
IL 1890 that the farmers first began to
regard Professor Bolley and his ideas
seriously. Then a few of the more pro-
gressive and wealthy ones. who owned
large tracts of land and felt that they
could afford to experiment, decided to
test his prescription for wheat smut.
This was the first time the treatment

Summer Visiting.

If you contemplate visit this sum-
woman who is always busy and remain
with her for weeks at time. Moth
ers should not allow their daughters to
go visiting and remain too long. This
pleasure of visiting is so greatly
abused that it is almost a humbug. We
all like our friends TO call and visit
us, and some we really desire to have
with us longer than they can remain.
but every woman who must do her own
work should not be burdened with
summer visitors. They will be cour-
teous and kind, but a week or ten days
is the longest any woman should re-
main at a house as a guest unless the
invitation was extended for a longer
period. If you 90 with your children,
and little sitors can be a great
charge, do not make the hostess anx-
ious on their account look after your
own children; she has work of her
your children to the grandparents to
annoy them when they need their vaca-
ton. This is one of the great faults
of the average American mothers, and
they make grandmother bear the brunt
of caring for the children. Be reason
able about it. If a daughter goes to
visit friends. write the hostess she is
in her charge and must conform to the
rules and regulations of the household.
Many young girls often abuse the priv
ilege Of the hostess home, an! are
never welcome again. And dor't think
you are playing a joke on any woman
to svoop down on her with we'll
weeks. She will be surprised, but not
agreeably so.

nIorhid wamen

When people have real trouble to
contend with they do not sit down and
analyze their emotions and remember
whether this person or that person
looked to the right or to the left when
they spoke TO them, and exactly what
the tones of their voice and the eleya-

morbid woman does.
Morbidness should be accounted n

SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES
BY THE PREsIDKUT.

The world has moved so far that it is
no longer necessary to believe that one
nation can rise only by tlnusting another
down.
This is an era of combination alike
in the world of capital and in the world
of labor. Each kind of combination can
do good; and yet each. however powerful,
must be opposed when il does i'll.
The greatest problem before us is to
exercise such control over the business
use of vast wealth-individual but espe-
cially corporate-as will insure its not
being used against the interests of the
public, while yet permitting such ample
legitimate profits as will encourage indi-
vidual initiative.
The wrongdoer, the man who swindles
and cheats, whether on a big scale or q
little one. shall receive at our hands
mercy as scant as if he committed crimes
of violence or brutality.
1t is our business to put stop to
abuses and to prevent their recurrence
without showing a spirit of vindictiveness
for what has been done in the past.
Quoting from Burke: IF | cannot
reform with equity, l will not reform at
all. There is a state to preserve as well
as a state to reform" This is the exact
spirit in which this country should move
to the reform of abuses of corporate
wealth.
We are unalterably determined TO pre-
vent wrongdoing IN the future we have
no intention of trying to wreak such in
discriminate vengeance for wrongs done
in the past as would confound the inno-
cent with the guilty. Our purpose is to
build up rather than to tear down.

The New York State Senate has pass
ed the teachers salary bill, the object
of which is to give the women the same
salaries as the men in New York City
schools. 1t is based upon the principle
that the position should determine the
salaries, and not the sex, but gives the
city. board of education discretionary
powers so as not to violate the home-rule
principle. 1t provides for a minimum
salary of $780, with fixed annual in
creases equal for both sexes.

A new variation of the old-fashioned
rose jar has been introduced by an
ingenious woman who always has
dainty things about her. Instead of a
china jar she makes silk bag for the
potpourri.
The bag Is like good-slzed work
bag, with wide neck and ribbon
drawstring. The delicate perfume lasts
FOR long time. though not SO long,
of course, as when the rose leaves are
in covered JAR The bag is shaken
up every little while and just faint
odor of the potpourri fills the room.
Dried lavender may be used in the
same way.

Fashion Notes.

The modern skirt requires a world
of thought and careful handling in its
cutting out to make it success.
Stripes yelled in tulles, voiles and
other semi-transparent fabrics are very
fashionable both for street and home
wear.
China and japanese blue straw mob
cap shapes with full ruches of pale
green tulle and touches of green and
blue ribbons FIRE quite delightful
The pelerine bodice effects steadily
increase in popular favor. They, to-
gether with the shortened bodice, have
caused a tremendous revolution in
fashions
A millinery novelty is a wreath Of
flowers, disposed not in the ordinary
manner round the crown or as an out
line to the brim, but reared at one side
or hoped at the back.
Stiff little tailored hats in odd shapes
of blue. heliotrope or green straw, with
many Topped bows of self-colored rib
bon at the back and a wreath of roses
or field flowers around the crown, will
be worn with coat suits.
Lovely gowns are made of white lace
over silver or gold tissue. Such a
toilet was accompanied by a gold-col-
ored cross-oyer taffeta scarf and a hat
of the same tone that was a fluffy mass
of crinolIne, tul'e, straw and feathers.
Black lace fiounces are again coming
into fashion. Through the winter black
lace was very much to the fore and
many are going to take out the treas
ured flounces of Chantilly or Spanish
lace and get them mounted on trailing
skirts of taffetas or soft satin.
