VOGUE IN SEASONS COATS.
Are Slightly Narrower Than Those of
Last Winter.

The coat is slightly narrower than
those Of last winter across the Shout
ders at back. The fronts are double
breasted, fastened with huge buttons
Of brilliants set in composition like
platinum.
The revers, which are quite broad,
are made of old blue satin, that very
good looking tone that comes in so
many fabrics. These are slightly en-
broidered with heavy silver thread
forming bees. The long sleeves are
without fullness, each fastened tightly
at wrist with button of brilliants,
and finished with a frill of old lace.
The blouse that rises above this
high-waisted skirt is built of gray filet
tulle in the coarse round mesh that is
fashionable. 1t is draped over thin
silver gauze, and shows a round
guimpe and stock of Mechlin lace. It's
sleeves are long and tight, made of
tulle wrapped around the arm.
Here and there ar embroidered sill
yer bands, and there is one large OF
where the bodice tucks under the
skirt of center front.

VALUE OF PLANT FOOD.
Action Of the Different Elements on
the Growth of Plants.

The farmer sometimes finds it
rather hard to keep in mind the exact
functions of the various plant food ele.
ments, with respect to the growth of
the plant. Until he has gotten the
thing pretty well studied out the unfa.
mlllar names tend to mix him up more
or less. While we have given space
TO the explanation of the matter be-
fore, the following remarks by Prof. A.
d. Hall of Rothamsted, England, on
the subject will be both of value and
interest to our readers:
The results Of nitrogen are seen at
once in the greener and more album
dant leaf; it makes the whole plant
go ahead, and the farmer is ant to
| think more of nitrogen than of phos-
phorus and potash because he may
nave to wait till harvest and actually
weigh the product to see their results.
nitrogen increases the Negative parts
OF the plant and an excess of it tends
to make the plant go on growing too
long and defers the production of
Hover and seed; it puts off the ripen.
ing. Excessive nitrogen has doubled
the amount Of wheat straw, but re-
duced the per cent. of wheat grain
from 62 down to 4S per cent. The
more nitrogen in the soil the more wa
ter and less sugar in the beet.
An excess of nitrogen makes the
plant more susceptible to disease, es.
peclally fungus disease. Mangolds, at
Rothamsted, are swept every year
with fungus diseases, while three feet
away are perfectly sound, healthful
Deets. The infection is alike in both
places, but it takes" only on the
plots having an excess of nitrogen.
The diseased plants are seen torn,
shriveled and rotten. Wheat fields
get rusty and weeds are widowed on
high nitrogen land.
Phosphoric acid applied to the soil
hurries on the production of flowers
and seed, the ripening of the grain.
Right now it is making difference of
ten days in the appearance of the bar
ley grain. Phosphorus is of enormous
value in pushing the crop on to ripe
ness. 1t is also an extraordinary stim-
ulant to the formation of roots and of
side shoots. This is certain fact.
1t is the special action of potash to
aid the plant in making carbohydrates,
sugar and starch. This process can.
not go forward unless potash is
to increase this process in.
crease the potash. Beet yields at
have been more than
doubled by the addition of potash.
each of the three fertilizers has
specific effect and should be applied
according to the specific needs of the
,rop.

Builds Up a Soil,

Alfalfa is said by experts to be the
greatst plant known for the BUILDING
up OF crop-worn soils. In Nebraska
this crop is looked upon as one of tbe
malnstays. Alfalfa gathers the nitro
gen from the air and puts it back into
the soil from which it will be drawn
when that land is used for grain grow
ing. Some men hold that this is the
best forerunner of the corn crop, some
even going so far as to say that to pre-
cede corn with alfalfa is even mora
important than selecting seed corn

lions in the West.
James Wilson, secretary Of agricul-
ture, who has just returned to Wash
ington from q visit of two months in
the West, brings a cheering prosperity
bulletin. He declares that the West
doesn't know much about the alleged
business troubles. Its farmers have
magnificent crops growing, and are sell
ing the old crops and are preparing
to sell the new mes for high prices.
Weather and crop conditions this sea
son have been excellent, and the new
crops, the secretary believes, will have
a most buoyant effect On financial and
commercial conditions all over the
country. He confidently looks for a
continuation Of the improvement in
business which has been apparent every
where for the last few months, and
for it's forward movement at an ac-
aelerated speed.
Generally speaking" said the secre-
airy, 1.-The Information Of our depart
ment shows that in recent years there
has been a considerable increase In the
>roductiveness Of the soil. We have
Investigated this carefully, and there is
no doubt that the acre yield Of crops is
showing a most significant increase.
We attribute it to better farming meth
DDS, to assimilation of the scientific in
formation about crop rotation, caring
for the soil, etc, which the department
and the agricultural colleges have
placed at the command of the farmers.
and to a general effort at intelligent
| preservation of the elements which en-
| able the soil to do it's best work"
Speaking Of political conditions, Sec
rotary Wilson said that the drift in the
West is all for Taft, and he expressed
a strong conviction, based on his in
quiries in a number Of states, that Mr..
Taft will carry all the states that
President Roosevelt carried four years
| ago, SO far as the West is concerned.
The feeling that Republican rule will
bring back general prosperity and as
sure it's continuance is a powerful in
tiuence with the voters. Later In the
campaign the secretary will go on a
speaking tour for the Republican ticket,
especially in New England.
