The Irish lace blouse. simply fash

white charmeuse or crepe, yelled with
fine black chantilly. Sometimes the

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Oats for the brood sows will pro-

Don't rush matters when loading
fat hogs. A little haste may kill fat
porker.
Pneumonia kills many pigs before
the herd gets used to sleeping in damp
pens or drafts.
The young boars that are to be de-
veloped for breeding purposes should
be selected at an early age.
For the breeding of mules select
mares that have good sized, roomy
bodies and short, strong limbs.
Hang the windows so that the wind
will shoot overhead, when they are
open, and not right on the cows.
There is hardly any reasonable
limit on the price farmer can af-
ford to pay for a good brood SOW.
Frequent change to fresh pasture is
one of the best ways to stimulate the
growth of both the grass and the pigs.

What is to be done to meet the
evil? OF course where every farm

any farm absolutely free from the

objection to this lies in the difficulty
found in doing this work at such a
time.
Winter rye may be profitably grown
on such land. Preparing the land for
rye will be hard on the thistles. The
following spring the rye may be har

may live over until the spring, but the
seeds of Russian thistles seldom live
more than two years.
Much may also be accomplished by
narrowing spring grain. The grair
may be narrowed two to four times
with much profit to the grain and witt

the exact methods of narrowing. Thi'

Forms Potash on Vegetables.

One of the most przzling points in
the use of fertilizers is the effect of
the various forms of potash. Some
vegetables and fruits seem to thrive
best in muriate OF potash. Others give
better yields when treated with sui.
phate of potash. Even the garden
vegetables seem to have their prefer
ence, according to recent tests at the
Maine experiment station. Thus rhu-
barb gives a much heavier yield with
muriate of potash, while onions, cauli-
flower and asparagus give heavier
crops with sulphate. orchard fruits,
as rule, seem to prefer the sulphate.

DEPTH FOR FLOWING
Methods Of TiiIage May Be Look
ed Into With Profit.
Some Of Western Experiment Stations
Reached Conclusion That Exces-
sIveIy Deep Flowing Not
Always Profitable.

In these dry years farmers in the
humid belt may with profit look into
the methods OF soil tillage OF the dry
farmers. There was a time when the
dry farmer talked about shallow plow-
ing and surface cultivation. claiming
that stirring the soil deeply left 1t
loose and open and resulted In loss
of moisture. This was before sub-sur-
face packers and other dry farming
machinery came into use. When the
big traction engines came into use and
plows, discs. and other tillage machin-
cry could be hauled by means of me-
chanical power. experimenting In deep
plowing subsoiling. subsequent discing
and subsurface packing became COM
mon and before long deep plowing be-
came the rule. II is not uncommon
for dry farmers to plow to de pth Of
IS inches, and eight to ten inches Ia
now the usual depth, says the Farmer
and Breeder. They are plowing to
that depth with horses. usually using
from five to six on gang plow
Naturally some of the western ex-
pertinent stations have been studying
soil tillage questions under arid condi-
tions and they have come to the con-
clusion that excessively deep plowing
is not profitable, but that depth of
eight to ten inches, as rule, gives
the most remunerative results. For a
period OF five years, on four different
fields, the Utah experiment station
has obtained the following average re-
suits with wheat:
