NEW TRICK IN MILLINERY
Long Strings of Black Velvet Are
Seen on Little 6onnets
This Season.

''Straws show which way the wind
blows" So. also. do the little bonnete
of tulle, coQuettishly set upon the
waved and pulled couture and engar-
landed with myosotis. and the large
tagals lined with felt. that have quite
taken the place of almost all othef
forms Of headgear during the last few
weeks.
Every one of them have long
strings of black velvet which are tiec
at the side and at the back and have
thin long ends floating. or caught witt
jeweled pin high over the bust and
on the left side.
The sleeve" string is simply a very
long loop of broad velvet ribbon
through which the arm is slipped II
hangs loosely on the left side under
the arm
This new trick in millinery is caus.
ing not little comment regarding it's
probable popularity. but withal seems
to be finding favor in the eyes of the
truly great dictators of styles.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

least year for eczema on my foot.

for doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew small bone from the ankle
about the size of match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors never could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
MY husband and my sons were up

room to another in the hope of giving
me some relief. / would sit for hours

Anaora Wool.

Angora wool. ever so beautiful. soft
and feecy, is made up in many at
tractive forms. A dull green sweater
coat is S22, but it is the loveliest thing
of its kind Unlike all the awkward
things that are accustomed to being
crowded under coats and make the
wearer entirely miserable. this one is
soft and pliable. clinging to the figure
in nice lines 1t has pockets and belt
and is finished down the front with
small smoked pearl buttons. There
are scarves. too. of this fieecy Angora
yarn. long and soft and loosely woven.

BACTERIA ON
ROOTS OF CORN
Supply Sufficient Nitrogen to
Serve Abundant1y Their
Purposes When Soil
Is Exhausted.
tBy WALTER B. LEUTzD

How the clover acted as fertilizer
was not known until about fifteen
years ago Since that time our
knowledge upon the subject has very
considerably increased and every year
now something more is learned
Leguminous and pod-bearing plants
unaided have no more ability to help
themselves to the nitrogen of the air
under any circumstances than have
other green plants.
Certainly bacteria existing in the
soil penetrates the soft tissues OF
young roots OF legumes AID multiply
within these lively tissues so as to
form little mass OF gelatinous sub
stance Responding to the irritation
produced the plant builds a nodular
structure about the bacterial invaders.
not unlike the formation OF a gall
consequent upon the sting OF an In
sect
Numerous nodules may be formed
on the roots OF one plant and they
have characteristics peculiar to the
species of plant on which they occur
In some way not well understood
these plants with nodules or tubercles
are capable OF getting sufficient nitro
gen from the air to serve abundantly
their purposes when the soil has no
supplies. and when other plants must
die from the want of it.
Either the bacteria are the direct
agents in the process or they aid the
plant itself to do what. without such
aid. it cannot do May there leg
umes organisms or some OF them be
made to form tubercles or other
plants for instant maize? Here is a
matter of the greatest moment Un-
doubtedly they have some times in
the past become adapted to iegumt-
nous vegetation There is nothing to
prevent corn from gathering tubercles.
If so. what triumph that would be
for scientific experimentation. Whar
an advance 1t would mark for scien-
tific agriculture

CARING FOR

Most people believe that II they

but this Is not true. Hens that have
NOTED late will lay more eggs during
the winter than the early molters.
This has been shown by the most
careful experiments. but the facts are
M generally known.

of feed containing nitrogen such as
oil meal. meat and other feeds rich
