SUMMER AND FALL

Top-Dressing and, Seeding Down.
Many farmers are finding it to their
advantage to seed down during the
summer and fall, claiming that by 80
doing they are apt to get a much bet =
ter ''catch" than they do when they
follow the usual practice and seed
down in the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some of the
most progressive farmers put on top
dressing Immediately after haying,
with perhaps a small application OF
nitrate of soda the following spring.
If you will send your name ard P.
o. address to Carroll S. Page, Hyde
Park, W., he will send you Tree, post
paid, several formulas for mixing fer
tilizers especially adapted to top
dressing and fall seeding, together
with prices of ingredients, full direc-
lions for mixing, etc. These formulas
have been approved by the Vermont
Experiment Station and will be found
thoroughly reliable.

an excellent record while at camp, and
one of the umpires at the maneuvers
was heard to remark that the regiment
was one Of the best in the country
and had no superior. Monday they
were engaged in a conflict with the
Second Maine infantry. and won a de-
clded victory, completely defeating
them. There was some excuse for
the defeat of the other regiment as it
was their first experience at Pine
Plains but the Vermont regiment won
much praise for its work. Both regi-
ments were ordered out of camp at l
o'clock at night and to march in oppo-
site directions until 80, when their
sealed orders were opened. The Ver-
monters were ordered back over their
own trail and four or five miles into
the enemy's country to destroy some
stores belonging to the Maine people.
The Maine regiment was ordered to
get in the rear of their foe and de-
stroy bridge over which the Ver-
mont regiment was expected to receive
some reinforcements. Colonel Estey,
in command of the Vermont troops or
dered all of the mounted orderlies in
the regiment to form cavalry de-
anu S6IG LIlOul OUT DOn a
scout. They found the enemy about
four miles to the right and then on
the left, so that they thought the en-
tire regiment was before them. AS
soon as the Vermont officers became
aware of their advantage two COM
panies were ordered to the support
of the cavalry and the Maine regi-
ment threw up entertainments and
otherwise prepared for battle. Mean
while the remaining companies of the
regiment marched five miles through
underbrush in an hour and completely
passed around the enemy's lines. The
umpires were then quick to award the
Vermonters the victory and rendered
the decision that the stores had been
destroyed.
I The only case of serious illness re-
ported at the hospital of the regi-
ment during the trip was one Of ty-
phoid fever, contracted by a Rutland
man.

GOOD TASTE

The possession of costly china does
not always indicate good taste any
more than the cheaper semi porcelain
means a lack of it. 1t means a condi-
tion of finances. Sometimes the good
taste which is the mark of the gentle
woman is more evident in the careful
selection of the semi-porcelain which
is all the purse can afford, and the
lack of that taste is quite as evident
in the selection of the overdecorated
china which represents considerable
outlay of money. In the selection of
tableware as in any other matter of
house furnishings, every woman of
good taste desires the best which she
can afford, but If she is limited in
finances she will seek to obtain the
most artistic result for the amount of
money at her disposal, and in that
case she will purchase some of the
really pretty and artistically decorated
semi-porcelain of the lighter weight
which makes her table dainty. And
by way of encouragement 1t may be
said that a table laid with a we'll
chosen set of the emi-porcelain, per-
feet in every detail, is far prettier
than one overladen with real china
in too gorgeous patterns plus so
much cut glass, that the guests feel
they are sitting at a bargain counter
instead of at a dinner table. Whether
you buy the real porcelain or the
semi-porcelain, the one result aimed at
should be daintiness and neatness.
Select the delicate patterns and the
prettily shaped dishes, for grace OF
shape and beauty of coloring will
never grow tiresome.

Formal Treatment on Large Estate

This survey of existing contours Is
used as basis for all subsequent work,
With such comprehensive information
In his possession, there is no uncer-
tainty relative to the amount of work
to be accomplished. With his finished
design worked out from this data, the
landscape architect is then in a posi-
tion to inform his client of the amount
of cuts or fills and the approximate
cost of the same.
The necessity sometimes of going to
great distance and hauling hundreds
of cubic yards of material to complete
the work is obviated.
Every grade is established for every
finished contour, walk steps or drain
Every tree or shrub is located as indi-
viduals, and with regard to the relation
they bear to the grounds as a whole
and in their matured state the position
they occupy in finishing out the prear-
ranged picture.
With such a comprehensive plan to
work from, even If the owner intends
to execute only a portion of the work
each year, in the end, when his work is
completed, he has a unified result that
is worth while, and at the utmost
economy of expense.
1t should always be borne in mind
that from the moment the architect
completes his work, when he has laid
his ldSI DIlck anu pldCeQ Ine IlnlSnlnS
touches on the building, that work
commences at once to decay; not so
with the landscape architect; nature
goes on year after year. building on
to the foundation and developing up
the picture along the lines laid down
by the student of the landscape art
years before.
The greatest mistake made in laying
out an estate is attempting too much.
Kingdoms and republics, architecture
and style may change, but nature goes
on, year after year. rounding out and
completing results planned for genera
tions before.
Whatever is worth growing is worth
growing we'll. Study your soil and ex-
posure, and use plants demanded by
such conditions.
Cultivate no more space than you can
maintain in perfect order.
Avoid stiffness or exact balancing,
except where the treatment demands it.

WALL COVERINGS

There has been an immense change
within the last few years in the style
of wall paper and in the quality of
the color value, says a writer in Su-
burban Life. A few years ago dark
greens and reds were all the fashion
for living rooms. Red is difficult to
live with; it is too assertive for large
spaces, as it absorbs the light, and
those who are sensitive find it un-
restful and too exhilarating. Red is
beautiful in small quantities or where
a touch of bright color is needed. A
quantity of white woodwork, book
cases and fitments, tends to obviate
this feeling; but it is better in the be-
ginning to have something less asser-
tive for the atmosphere of the room.
There is a beautiful shade of Pom
peiian red which has something of
an old rose quality; it can sometimes
be used with good results, but even
this shade requires considerable wood
work and wall fitments to make it sue
cessful. Pale, soft greens, browns and
wood colors, soft grays and pale, cool
colors of every description are pre-
ferred today.
Perhaps the most effective treatment
for the wall is a sufficiency of wood
work, wainscots and paneled walls.
Ceiling beams and built-in furniture
are a part of the house itself, and
serve to draw it closer to the needs
of daily life,
People are apt to tire of a pattern
unless it is a good one. Tapestry pa
pers have so long been used for the
dining room that, although they are
not the mode today, there is some
thing so charming about their soft,
mellow coloring that there will always
he found plenty of people who choose
them. They are still used above the
bookcases and wainscot in living
rooms, and seem to be we'll suited, be-
cause of their cozy appearance, for
such rooms. A new kind of paper is
seen this season in modern dining
rooms; the background is variegated
and has a fabric effect; it comes in
pale tones. Each length of paper ter
inmates with a crown frieze. These
friezes are thoroughly Dutch in char
acter, and are of fruit motifs; walls
treated with these papers are some
times charming. The paper costs $1.50
a roll, two crowns coming in each
roll.
The drawing room is the most diff
cult room in the house to deal with
If used for only formal occasions and
as a reception room. it can be treated
in a formal way, but if 1t is used for
everyday life the walls should be treat
ed like those of a living room. A
