Cobwebby ParasoIs.

There Is nothing daintier in effect
nor more fragile, than some of the
new afternoon parasols. Tissue, both
gold and silver. appears in their com.
position, and when raised to the sun
they are as cobwebs made OF jeweled
threads.
When composed entirely of tissue
they are backed by a thin silk, but
otherwise parasols are unlined.
Sticks are long. and for morning or
what might be called hack about, they
are Of wood in various degrees Of cary.
ing Rarely are the handles other than
slender. For afternoon use; silver, and
silver gilt appear In elaborate designs
as handles. and carved ivory is having
decided vogue for the purpose.

STANDARD Fertilizers.

Do not buy fertilizer because
cheap in price. 1t is very poor econ
omy. A moments reflection will con-
vince one of the truth of this state
ment Fertilizers that are soluble and
easily available are high grade and
expensive The nonsoluble ones are
low grade and cheap. 1t Is impossible
to make cheap fertilizer from high
grade materials without adulteration,
says the Agriculturist
II one buys cheap fertilizer he is
either buying one made from low
grade, comparatively insoluble mate
rials which will do him little good,
or else he is buying one made from
high.grade materials adulterated suf-
ficiently to make 1t cheap.
In either case he is paying freight,
handling. sacking and string of com
missions and profits on material
which is of no use to him. Hundreds
OF thousands of dollars are thus an
nually thrown away. Never buy a
fertilizer with big filler.

Following the vogue for hand EN-.

embroidery or edging suitable for
shirtwaists have been brought out.
Most of the insertion Ia about an inch

is usually white. although tan linen Is
also seen, and the embroidery is done
in white, bright red, pale blue. Per.

The edging generally is scaNoped and
sometimes the only embroidery is the
simple scalloping. In other cases q
design is worked in addition. Mar.
quisette or net may be found EN-.
broidered In the same way as the linen
or muslin. The edging is old-fash-

Changing Variety Of Seed Wheat,

Many farmers make the mistake of
sowing year after year a variety of
wheat which yields several bushels
less per acre under their conditions
than some other variety would do un-
der the same conditions, says the
Maryland experiment station. Often
the only reason why a particular vari-
ETY. has become popular In certain To-
calities is because when first intro
duced 1t gave an extra high yield. due
more to exceptionally good treatment
in favorable season than high-yield-
ing qualities of the variety. When a
new variety is introduced in a COM
munity or on a farm 1t should always
be grown in the same field and beside
q well-known or standard variety. It
is difficult to determine the possibil-
fly of any variety when comparing q
field on one end of the farm with an
other on the other end. or what Is still
worse. comparing one mans field with
that of his neighbor.

time to do this work is when the sod
