Plantain Meal.

Plantain meal is suggested by a
consular report as a new breakfast
food. In the Dominican republic it
is universally used by the poor, but,
on account of lack of facilities. it is
made only in small quantity for home
consumption, and the well-to-do find
none of it in the market.
The fruit is gathered green. It is
peeled, sliced, dried three days in the
sun, and is then pounded in a mortar
and sifted, ten plantains yielding a
pound of rich, creamy meal, redolent
of orris root.
For making bread this meal is
claimed to be a splendid substitute
for wheat flour. The meal is COM
monty prepared as kind of por-
ridge, however, though 1t is some
times made into fakes and served
with cream, and is also used for
cookies.-Newark News.

origin of Harem Skirt.

When Amelia jerks Rloomer more
than half century ago startled Lon
don with the celebrated costume to
which her name is given. though it was
the invention of Elizabeth Smith
Miller, she did not set the town by the
ears the way woman still unknown
to fame did the other day when she
appeared in Regent street wearing a
so-called harem skirt. The later Incl
dent caused a jeering mob to collect
and hold up traffic.
This revolutionary feminine habili-
ment did not. as is commonly sup
worn by one of the characters in Henri
Bernstein's latest play. Lady Haber-
ton, the English dress roformer, long
advocated the use of modification of
the Turkish trousers costume and
while she had not the courage of
her convictions so mark eddy as was
the case with Mrs. Bioomer and the
devoted disciples of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the harem skirt is truly of
English design, just as boomers were
emphatically American.
In New York, where really fash
ionable folk reject the extreme hobble,
the use of the harem costume is also
likely to be restricted to the musical
comedy stage or to adventures pro-
NOTED by theatrical press agents. 1t is
not sufficiently susceptible to modifi
cation to have any influence on the
fashions of the the coming season. A
woman affecting such attire in the
Easter parade in Fifth avenue or on
the Atlantic City boardwalk would in
vite the soicitous attention of the To-
cal constabulary as a disturber of the
peace.-New York Press.

The WhiskerIess Face.


The Paris correspondent of a Lon
don paper bemoans the disappearance
of the multiform and universal whis-
ker, long one of the distinctive art
products of the French capital.
Clean-shaVen faces are becoming
the rule in the beau monde and it's
social faubourgs. Artistically trim
med, curled, and "shined' facial
shrubbery no longer is a mark of
dandyism, and even the cute little
pointed beard long characteristic Of
monsieur is seldom seen.
Why this sudden evanishment of the
chief adornment of the boulevardier :?
AS might be expected, the London
writer imputes the blow at French art
to American example: ''They like the
Yankee cocktail so much that they
have been led to try the American
face; it has been declared chic by the
high priests of the mode
Since the yankee face" is now as
sumed to be whiskerless. it is hoped
they will quit portraying Uncle Sam"
with that slanderous goat beard. The
immemorial "mutton-chop' vhiskers
may still do for pictorial John Bull
But it is the smooth face for ours, and
Paris follows. The world is growing
better.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

COW-PEA WEEV|L IS

County Cotton Is Not

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s-The In

the cotton fields of Tattnan county are
not boil weevils. according to Entomolo-
gist Howard. of the department of agri-
culture.
They are cowpea weevils, but frequent
ly prey on cotton, especially If the cot
ton is grown on land which was pre-
viously planted IN peas.
The parasite is, however, far from
harmless, says Dr. Howard. 1t is capa-
BILE of doing much damage to cotton. He
says there is nothing which can be done
to exterminate the weevil. except to
hand-pick the cotton. This, he admits, Is
a hopeless task
There is no prospect of serious dam
age to the cottoA crop of Tattnall coun-
ty except for short periods over limited
areas" says DR.. Howard in a letter to
Congressman Edwards.
There may be some comfort in this,
although it win probably be poor con-
ISOLATION to the planters whose fields are
now being actually damaged"
DR.. Howard concludes that e. Lee
worsham, Georgia's entomologist, is
competent to meet the situation in TAFT
nall county with reference to the weevil,
as he is a recognized authority of high
standing.

ARTIFICIAL SOIL INCUBATION.
E. b., Mount Airy. Ca, writes: would
like to know the value of Farmogerm
and such preparations. see the manu-
facturers recommend them very highly
for inoculating legumes, but 1 never see
them recommended by agricultural ex-
perts.
Artificial incubation of the various
legumes by special cultures has not prov
en- a great success. In fact, with the
large-seeded kinds such as cowpeas, soy
beans, velvet bean, garden peas and
beans, it is seldom found necessary to
inoculate. With some of the small seeded
crops, as alfalfa and certain of the clo-
vers, the use of the cultures has proven
more or less satisfactory. The consensus
of opinion seems to be- however, that
where one can secure soil from a field
where any of the clovers have grown sue
cessfully in previous years that it will
be more satisfactory means of inocu-
lating the land than the use of the arti-
fetal culture. One should never forget in
this connection that the bacteria which
enable leguminous crops to assimilate
the atmospheric nitrogen do not thrive
well in an acid soil, and the soil should
be tested for acidity, and If found to react,
this defect should be corrected by an APP
phcation of lime. Then, vegetable matter
added to the soil, the thorough prepare
ton of the soil, and an adequate supply
of phosphorus and potash will often en-
able the farmer to grow legumes without
the use Of special inoculating material.
but he will find If he does not give con-
sideration to the points enumerated and
attempts to depend solely on the use OF
cultures that he will fail to secure a good
crop. There are, therefore, certain con-
ditions under which the inoculating Gull
lures may prove serviceable, but as a
rule, we do not feel disposed to recon-
mend them extensively from our expert
ence and observation.
DESTROYING PINE SPROUTS.
J. L. B., Austell, Ca, writes: have a
lot of pine bushes growing in my pasure
that 1 want to kill out When is the
best time to cut them to keep them from
sprouting out from stub? 1 don not want
to grub them UP If 1 can destroy them
any other way
The best time to cut pine bushes and
other forms of brush to prevent theil
again sprouting Is in the fall of the year
At this season growth is less active thar
in the spring and early summer, and
moreover, the life processes Of the tree
are at a lower ebb than in the spring
When the grubbing and cutting is done
in the fall there is little effort made on
the part of nature to renew the vigor OF
the plant by fresh growth, and on that
account cutting and grubbing at the sea-
son of the year indicated will more near
Iy accomplish the destruction of objec-
tionable bushes and briars than at any
other season of the year.
