Novel Jewel Case.

There is a very pretty jewel case
in the shape of square piano. The
keyboard end is about five inches
wide and long, and the whole is sup
ported by carved legs, two inches
high.
These cases are made Of silver,
either plain or carved. One was
shown of plain silver with small
beading around all the edges. On the
top of the lid was engraved initials in
block lettering.
All of them are lined with a fine
quality of white or pastel colored
satin. A pretty idea is to have this
satin to carry out the color scheme Of
the room.

The Sinful Human Heart.

A clergyman was addressing a

TOMATO BLIGHT.
Results of Exhaustive Research at
Washington State College.

A great many remedies for tomato
blight have been suggested by tomato
growers, but most Of these have proved
to be unsuccessful. A couple OF years
ago the State college experiment sta
tion experimental quite extensively
with tomato blight at Clarkston, Free
man. Pullman, Wenatchee. and North
Yakima. We found that tomates
VIII ch were grown in the shade did not
blight as badly as those which were
grown in the sunlight, but usually,
there was about twenty-five per cent Of
blight, even in the shaded plants.
Shading tomato plants can therefore
hardly be considered remedy for the
blight.
Some growers at North Yakima have
gotten fairly good results by planting
the seeds rather thickly in the rows,
and afterwardS thinning out, instead OF
planting the seeds in the hotbed, and
transplanting to the field. Various
methods of irrigation and cultivation
have been investigated, but no satisfac-
tory results have been obtained. Sew

stock Breeding and Management.

make poor stock. no matter how careful

endeavor 10 bring the stock or herd up
by breeding unless all the conditions
are favorable. The razor-back hog is
the result Of poor feeding. and though
man compelled the animal to resort TO
scanty herbage, nature fitted him for
the purpose by gradually changing his
form. thus adapting him to the sur
roundings. We thus know that eli
mate. soil and the growth indigenous
thereto are important factors to be
taken into account. and in the breeding
Of live stock farmers should consider
well as TO what may be needed before
making the effort.
The large mutton breeds Of sheep
now weigh twice as much as the or
dinary common kinds. but in securing
size the sheep have been fed on rich
pastures, where everything favorable
for improvement has been in their ia
vor. and they have never retrograded
during a single period. but progressed
without difficulty. Hence. If the large
breeds are TO be the agents for improv-
ing the common flock. the farmer must
take a look over the feeding grounds
The Berkshire hog would starve if COM

away from that sphere and it is of no
use unless adapted to the place which

can exist where the pure-bred animal
might starye. but this is because she is

large quantity of food into milk. Scan
