Horse Doomed Again.

Edison says he has solved the cleo
trio motor problem at last-solved it
some time ago, in fact; but the mate
rial he found suitable for cheap and
effective storage batteries -cobalt-was
too scarce to be used commercially for
the purpose. But by diligent search am
pie deposits have been found, and now
a motor will be made so cheap that no
other agency for moving vehicles of any
kind will be used.

Mrs. Emma Vaught writes Farm and

been feeding nuX vomlca TO young
chickens to kill hawks, and finds that
the remedy is a good one. She says:
1t will not hurt the chicks at all, for 1

and we would not have any further
trouble with them. 1 give directions

sowing Glover Seed.

White clover Is not averse to grow
Ing frequently on the same soil, al
though that soil may have been but
specifically plowed-a consequence, no
doubt, of the plant being indigenous
and growing spontaneously In THIS
country. Some persons have, however
observed that on soils not very wen
adapted to Its cultivation 1t thrives bet
ter when first introduced than after
the land has borne 1t for a number OF
years. Red clover Is not found to be IN
jured when sown- alternately with
white clover. White clover Is sown
either on the autunnal sowing or
among the spring grain, but the for
mer position is better for 1t, because
among the autumn grain it grows more
quickly and affords good pasturage
among the stubble. 1t is also spread
over the autumnal sowings as soon as
the frost is over; sometimes also sown
before winter, or even while the ground
is covered with snow, In order that 1t
may more effectually be buried by the
water formed when the snow melts,
and may consequently terminate on
the first return OF spring. The small
ness of the seed of white clover and
the disposition OF the plant to spread
allow of Its being sown much more
thlnly than red clover; much smaller
quantity Of seed is therefore required
for a given extent Of ground, five
pounds per acre being quite sufficient
Il the seed be uniformly scattered. The
time for which white clover lasts de

excellent sheep pasture, owing to its
horter growth, compared with the red |

All the skirts Of thin material show
a little fullness at the waist line.
A little touch Of black velvet some
where about the gown Is a distinctive
note just now.
| Valenclennes, torchon and several
other fashionable laces are now initial
ed in gold and silver thread.
Brightest peacock blue appears now
and then, crude in its garishness and
out of harmony with its surroundings.
Another pretty touch is black velvet
buckle catching down a corsage bow of
white tulle or a stock bow of soft satin
ribbon.
The old-time serpentine skirt weight
ed with jetted insertions and trimmings
is one Of the graceful REVEALS for slen-
der figures.
Next to white, pale shades, with a
very light shrimp pink as one of the
leaders, are extensively used at the
southern resorts.
Feather toques, composed of two
large wings and some tail feathers
mounted on a small velvet frame, are
finding favor in Paris for matinee wear.
If an embroidered band could be
worked in around the armhole of the
new waist, one of the most insistent
ideas of the hour would be carried out.
One-piece frocks are TO lead in thin
fabrics this year. The handwork and
insertions on the new white batlstes
and mousselnes are exquisite in work

The little Jumper" waist is to be
duplicated in linen next summer and |
girls who do fancy work are busily en- |
themselves dainty examples
of this mode.
In Paris not few modish women
have been displaying bare, ungloved /

Black taffeta skirts are most effec-

Of velvet ribbon around the bottom and
On wolfe skirts an equally good effect is
obtained with taffeta bands.

Growing Fruit.

ment to cereal crops, and the Dlack-
berry Is successfully grown on the
lightest sands. With all the boast OF
favored sections, there Is not state
that averages the net profit per acre

Lands that will not grow a BLADE OF
grass pay the grower In pears, black
berries and raspberries, and the better
qualities OF soil produce the best OF
Strawberries. If there Is a failure In
growing fruit, It is sometimes due to
carelessness Of the grower. Trees ana
vines, like anything else, must receive
the care and attention Of the grower,
must be properly cultivated and pruned
and the fruit judciously prepared for
market The curcullo must be fought,
the borer killed and the miller and ca
terplllar destroyed. If the work is well
done, and the grower is patient, his re-
ward will surely come, for there is an
excellent opportunity FOR enterprlsing
fruit growers to Increase their profits
by producing fruit Of the best quality.
Low prices occur at times because the
market is oversupplled with inferior,
fruit, but there is always n good de-
mand for that which Is choice, and at
good prices.

Controlling Growth of Cabbage.

Some gardeners practice a method of
stopping the bursting OF too RAPIDLY
growing cabbage heads The idea is to
check the root growth, which is sending
too much sap into the head. Either
some OF the roots are cut away or else
the roots are somewhat loosened bv
pulling the cabbage partly out of the
ground. Either plan will check growth
sufficiently to save the cabbage
