cUIRAss STYLE is POPULAR
One Of the Most Effective
Of the Season.

The cuirass style of gowr has
brought about an effective comoina-
ton Of net covered with embroidery
and other materials. One Of the popu-
lar evening frocks for girl who has
a good figure is gracefully fitted
cuirass which extends to the hips. and
q knife-plaited long skirt. The for
mer Is made of coarse net covered
with a nat embroidery of silk SOU
tache, and the latter of messaline with
a scroll Of the soutache outlining the
top of hem. This has tight elbow
sleeves fastened with frills Of lace
and is cut into Dutch neck outlined
with fiat band of valenciennes lace
or tucker of fine white net run with
a colored silk ribbon. This frock is
fastened down the back with lace
buttons.
The original model came out in
linen with the cuirass Of coarse net
covered with an Egyptian design Of
fine soutache. 1t ran straight to the
neckband and was finished with a
Dutch collar of baby Irish lace. The
sleeves are long, almost tight-fitting.
and finished with a turnover cuff If

AIR THE GREAT FERTILIZER.
Forty Tons Of Grain to the Acre
Possibility II Russian Plan
10 Followed.

The Russian experiments in wheat
growing by which 1t il claimed 40
tons or more of grain can be grown
to the acre are arousing attention in
many countries.
The conical pits and frequent lay
ers of earth are not the only secrets
of the system. These Russian expe-
rimenters maintain that they have dis
covered a secret of the nourishment
of all plants. They argue that "all
the observations resulting from the
experience of the culture of corn by
pushing shows US that the principal
condition for obtaining good crops de-
ponds mostly on how much soil can
be impregnated with air. The pres
emit system of manuring does not give
the earth the assistance that is ex-
pected.
IF the crops increase, 1t Is not be-
cause of the material used for manur-
ing, but only because by digging you
loosen the earth, and therefore the
air has easier access to 1t. It is sev
eral years after the manure has been
put into the ground that 1t can give
satisfactory nutriment to the plant.
ITO verify the above statement you
need only take three or four plots of
ground and loosen the soil so that the
earth should not be hard. Before you
SOW anything on these plots dig up
the earth on the first plot ten times.
on the second 20 times. and on the
third 80 times, and by the result of
the crops on each of these plots you
will be able to Judge the truth Of the
above mentioned law of nature which
acts on the growth of the plant.
Experience will convince that by
the loosening of the layer of the soil
the earth improves In quality and in
creases in weight. This fact gives
us ground to suppose that the par
ticles of the air as well ~ water con.
tain as gases all the elements of
which the soil consists"

are covered with wood or metal lath,

ties of this construction. it is really
cheaper than wood, as 1t is very little
more expensive than the wood to start
with. In some sections where the
sand and gravel may be secured on
ones own place 1t may be built even
cheaper than with wood. All exposed
woodwork should receive three coats
of the best paint, and should be re-
newed as often as necessary. The
stalls are formed of gas pipe, also
the stanchions. The floors. also the
cutters, are provided with drain traps
for carrying away the water and
liquid manure. The liquid manure
should be drained to a cement manure
pit. Where water system is In
stalled a hose may be used and the
entire barn washed down and cleaned
in a very short time. All angles
should be rounded 30 as to not hold
the dust and dirt. Feed and litter
carriers are installed, and the route
Of the trolleys are shown by the dotted
lines. II hay or other rough feed is
stored above. good tight floor should
be laid, and sliding doors placed to
close the hall space between the feed
room and milk room. BY closing the
doors and passing the hay down in
this space the dust and dirt will be
kepA out of the COW barn. One fea-
ture about this construction that
should not be overlooked is that any
damage to the walls or floors may
be repaired by almost any one and the
material required will be simply the
cement and sand.

claim the land will be to chop up the

It will take several seasons to kill

that an asparagus bed will last much

After a years experimentation the
government department of agriculture
finds that the plan of manufacturing
denatured alcohol from waste products
of the farm for the purpose of furnish
ing cheap power is failure. $50
far" says Prof. Sawyer of the bureau
of chemistry, it has been found i'm
possible to produce alcohol at as low
a price as gasoline is produced. AS
commercial product denatured alco-
hol may some day compete with
gasoline, but as for each farmers
having small still and making a fuel
with which he can secure power to
thresh, shell corn, grind feed, churn
or light his farm, the day is not in
sight" The manufacture of denatured
alcohol has, however. proven a
success in Germany, but then the laws
governing it's production are different
from ours.

Aldrich bill providing for a tax of
two dollars on every pistol, dirk,

The following, published by the
New York Evening Post, is of course
only an imaginary debate,-a satire
on the doings of the tariff trainers
but at the same time it contains a
great deal more truth than poetry:
Gentlemen, your tariff on coal
and wool and lumber and iron ore is
simply robbery, but my constituents
must have protection on their sugar
industry or be ruined," said Senator
A, from the south.
1T IS plain thieving to put a duty
on wool, lumber, iron ore and sugar."
says Senator B, "but any reduction
on coal is wholly out of the question -
Lumber, iron ore, sugar and coal
should all 60 on the free list, unless
the people are burglarized,'' chimes
in Senator G, ''but in justice to the
farmers of Ohio the duty on wool
should be increased, not diminished. :"
1t is unadulterated stealing to
keep tariff on iron; ore, sugar, coal
and wool, >. Senator D admits, ''but
it, would be ruinous to my constitu-
ents to let Canadian lumber in free"
If we are not to 60 before the
people as supporters of mere robbery;
we must reduce the rates on sugar,
coal, wool and lumber" says Senator
-, but my constituents must have
protection against the admission of
foreign iron ore.''
And so the five agree together to
put high tariff on sugar. lumber,
iron ore, wool and coal, escaping the
odium of simple robbery by COM
pounding it.
