A UNIQUE Umbrella.

Owing to the fact that the handle
rod or stick of the ordinary umbrella
is centrally disposed, single person
can occupy only one-half of the space
beneath the umbrella, with the re-
suit that his outer shoulder Is usually
exposed to the drip and rain. To
remedy this defect, two inventors of
Bridgewater, Va, have designed an
umbrella which when raised will have
the handle located to one side of the
centre, leaving the central portion of
the sheltered space unobstructed.
This umbrella when closed has sub
stantially the appearance of the or
dinary article. The umbrella stick
Is provided with the usual runner,
but the stretchers instead Of being
connected to the runner as in the or

as we'll as for the heavier suitings and
cloaking materials. In the illustra-
ton, however, it is made of golden
brown broadcloth, with collar and
cuffs of velvet.
The coat is made with fronts, side
fronts, backs and side-backs, the
many seams meaning becoming lines
as well as easy fit. The pockets are
arranged over the side-fronts and all
the edges are finished with machine
stitching. The collar is oddly shaped
and can be made either of contrast
ing material or to match the coat, as
liked. Rolled over cuffs finish the
long sleeves, stitched bands those of
the three-quarter length.
The quantity Of material required
for a girl of sixteen years is four
yards twenty-seyen, two and FIVE
eighth yards forty-four, or two yards
fifty-two inches wide, with three

Circular Tunic Skirt.

Unquestionably the tunic skirt is a
graceful one, and that it already has
taken a firm hold upon fashionable
fancy is evident. This one Is abso-
lutely simple yet draped in a most
effective and graceful manner, and Is
adapted to all the soft and clinging
materials that are characteristic of
present styles. In the illustration a
dotted foulard is trimmed with band
ing and the cost is an extremely
trifing one, but the skirt would be
pretty made from such wool materials
as voile or marquisette, from crepe de
Chine, messaline, Liberty satin or any
material of the sort, and also of such
simpler things as cashmere and alba
tross for home wear
The skirt is circular, the right side
being extended well over onto the
left and shaped to form the drapery.
There are darts that mean snug fit
over the hips and the draped portion
is laid in pleats that provide long and
graceful lines. The fulness at the
back can be laid in inverted pleats
or the skirt can be cut off and finished
in habit style. 1t can be made either
in the pretty round length or cut to
escape the floor, when 1t becomes
adapted to the street.

LOCUSTS AND CATALPAS.

Experience has taught me that
trees will do better when cultivated
than when not cultivated. They do
not do well in sod, and they ought
not to be crowded so closely that
each tree cannot have fair chance,
but as to exactly how much space
each tree should have there is quite
a difference In opinion, however.
have had best success with trees
that had about rs square feet of
space, as this gives them enough
room to develop into fair-sized posts
and by the time they begin to be
crowded they can be thinned out and
they will be ready for use. This
harvest of posts should be begun
when they are from seven to ten
years old as the trees will be practic-
ally the same size. 1t has been the
practice quite general among farm
ers who were growing posts to plant
the trees about equal distance apart
each way, 6x6 or 7x7 feet, as mat
ter of convenience, and In order to
keep up cultivation as long as pos
sible, would advise planting them
at least SxS feet; then the cultiva-
tion can be kept up for several years,
which, l have learned, will greatly as
sist them in making a quick growth.
The best growth depends upon the
soil, however, and other matters also.
The locust grows much faster the
first year in poor soil than the ca
talpa does, but the catalpa will soon
overtake 1t. The locust would be
very profitable for growing posts If
it we're not affected by the borers,
but they must be watched or they
will ruin them. The catalpa needs
comparatively rich soil, and yet l
have had them do very well In soils
that were not quite so rich; but in
general, l would advise planting of
catalpa in fairly rich soil, and the
locust on the poorer soils, as my ex-
perience has been that locust will
grow and thrive better on thin land
than the catalpa.-R. B. Rushing in

LIVE STOCK IMPROVEMENTS

LIVE STOCK IMPROVEMENTS
1t is q noticeable fact at all the
great stock yards of the country that
the quality offered in the market
is steadily improving. In the past
dozen or mote years this fact has
been very noticeable by all the stock
yard buyers The greatest improve
ment has appeared, in the beef cat
tie and mutton sheep from the west
ern and southern ranches. The
great number of pure bred sires sent
to these sections in the past 20 years
has had most marked influence
In this betterment of quality now
coming to the stock yards and pack
ers. The grading up is also going
on in the central agricultural states
1t has come to be we'll known that
good grade animals sell in the mar
kets at an average of two dollars on
the hundred higher than the common,
and all observation has taught live
stock feeders that the same amount
of feed only is required to finish
both while the common ones fed
fall much below in weight as well
as quality that of the high grades
The International, State and county
fairs and live stock shows have had
a marked influence for good in the
direction of the use of better blood
in breeding. The agricultural col
ieges and experiment stations have
also had an excellent influence In this
direction, and last but not least, the
agricultural press has carried the
gospel of better breeding to every sec
tion of the country, by the publica-
tion of the station reports and the
numerous examples of noted breeders
and feeders as we'll as the facts from
the markets, and the crusial tests
at the butchers blocks giving the
per cent of the high priced meat
per carcass. These things all tell,
and no odds how dull some people
may be, they wear their way into
conscious apprehension Of the facts
and they go to improving their herds
and flocks. Iron sharpeneth iron,
so man sharpeneth the counten'
ance of his friend" and so that is the
way the world gets on to better
things.-Indiana Farmer.

FARM NOTES.

II hen lays an egg a week the
year through, 1t will just pay for her
feed and every extra egg will yield
profit.
If you want to get a good catch OF
clover next season, give the fields
which are to be sown, a good coat
ing of manure.
If you sin against your stock, be
sure your sin will find you out in re-
duced profits.
No sensible man would take chan
ces on breeding poor, starved ami
mails, nor should he think of using
immature and shrunken grain for
seed.
The hog pasture should be gotten
In better shape by sowing grass over
badly rooted places, and the fence
should be mended so that the young
pigs do not break out.
A pumpkin cut in halves and plac-
ed before the fowls will soon be moth
ing but rind. A good way is to
stick them on nails in the walls OF
the house, as the fowls will get de-
sirable exercise in jumping a few in
ches to reach them.
Mite traps are being used success
fully by some. They are so arranged
that when the mites seek seclusion
after their nightly feast they are
trapped.
The team should be fed the heaviest
meal in the evening, for they have
more time then to enjoy it.
There Is enough bacR-breaking work
to do without using the scoop shovel
to unload grain. Put in a portable
dump elevator. The team will do
the rest, and it will take few min
utes to crib big load of corn.

Don't Expect Enough.

Most people do not expect enough
of themselves. They do not realize
that things they see other people do,
and envy them the power of doing,
they could do themselves if they only
tried. So much of what seems to
"come natural" to other people is
only the result of long continued eff
fort. We may not be able to do as
well as they have done, but some

tion ia within our power. = Home

Turn out the fowls some days and
close all the cracks in the house ex-
cept the door Take a kettle of live
Goals, and pace on the ground in
the centre of the house, but II there
is a wood floor, lay a fat stone un-
der the kettle. Throw a half pound
or a pound of sulphur on the Goals,
and shut the door. II the house Is
left closed for few hours it Is
safe to conclude that no lice or mites
will be found therein after the opera
ton. The sulphur cure Is the best
method of riding poultry houses of
pests, but If the house is not tight
it will not prove satisfactory. Clean
the house as well as can be done,
mix whitewash with fresh lime, mix
in liberal supply of sulphur, after
which throw sulphur into all the
cracks. Apply kerosene oil to all the
roosts, and burn off the outer sur
face. Air the house thoroughly

DODDER IN ALFALFA, CLOVER,
ETC

The Bureau of Plant Industry, of
the Department of Agriculture, has
just issued a free circular dealing
with dodder. This is a parasitic
plant, or weed, which is particularly
dangerous in alfalfa and clover fields,
and less so with fax. 1t feeds upon
its host plant, and reproduces itself
by its seed and by pieces of stems.
Th6re are several kinds of dodder,
sonic of which are affected by clim-
atet conditions, as the smallseeded
alfalfa dodder, which is so common
in the West, but not known in the
Eastern States Dodder seeds are a
very common impurity of clover, al
falfa and fax seed in the trade, and
this can readily be detected with the
aid of magnifying glass. Certain
kinds are more commonly found in
domestic than in foreign seed, while
the contrary is true of other kinds.
Low grade seed imported from Eu-
rope generally contains dodder.
With regard to preventive meas
ures, dodder plants should not be
allowed to seed, they should be re-
moved early. and preferable destroy
ed by burning. Hand methods may
be used II the plants are not too
abundant; otherwise ploughing un-
der before they go to seed, or burn

THE SHEEP AS A CIVILIZER.
A speaker at farmers meeting
eulogized the little animal with the
golden hoof in the following inter-
esting strain:
"Sheep are always the advance
guard to attack new and undeveloped

first Negro slaves that placed foot
on what is now the United States
of America, were landed from the
same feet at st. Augustine, Septem-
ber 5, 1865, $50 years ago. From
