AS showing the progress which has
been made In recent years in produc-
ing high yielding types of small grain
it is interesting to recall the sower Of
Holy Writ, whose seed which fell on
the good ground yielded some thirty
some sixty and some hundred fold"
Contrasted with this showing may be
cited the case Of an oat belt farmer
who the other day plucked a single
stalk Of this cereal which bore PA
double grains. or total of 428. The
seed head. which was borne on very
sturdy straw, was fifteen inches long.

The fastest mile ever made by a
trotting horse was covered the other
day in 1:5SA by Uhlan. horse be-
longing TO C. G. X. Billings. the well
known turfman. and the easy way In
which the mile was made led many
who witnessed the remarkable per
formance to believe that the same
horse may clip another second or more
off this record before the season Is
over. 1t has been intensely interest
ing to note the gradual lowering of the
trotting record from the time when
the best performance was around 2:59,
some ninety years ago, to the present
season. when horse covers mile
track without wind shield at a rate OF
more than thirty miles an hour. That
the record will be still further lowered
Is not doubted. but Il will be by quar-
ters and eighths of, seconds only.

To Kill Bull ThistIes.

Bull thistles, common in pastures,
cannot always be killed by moving.
Moving tends to prevent maturity OF
seed. Cutting Off the thistles just be-

three times a year will effectually Grad
lcate them.

A recent bulletin gives the results Of
the analyses of many samples OF sol

sis Is nitrogen. The only important SOIL
constituents. whether Nsed as plant
food or not. that have declined appre-
ciably after thirty to fifty years of cul
tiyation are the nitrogen and orSanlt
matter. These two constituents rise
and fall together. They decrease rap
idly in amount from the surface down
ward. Accordingly the washing away
or blowing away of the surface sol
viii make the soil poorer in these con
stituents. The greatest losses In the
past have been caused by washing or
blowing The content of the Other
forms of plant food is rather higher in
the subsoil than in the surface soil and
accordingly is not injuriously affected
by the removal of surface soil.
To maintain the surplus Of nitrogen
and organic matter 1t will be neces-
sary to prevent the removal of surface
soil by wind or water In so far as pos
sible. Further. the burning Of straw
and stalks should be avoided and all
barnyard manure should be returned
to the land. Even If these precautions
be observed there will be steady de-
cline in the cultivated fields unless le-
gumes Glover or alfalfa) be grown or
the produce of other fields be fed and
the manure applied. By growing clo-
yer or alfalfa the nitrogen and organic
matter may be increased at the same
time that a profitable crop is obtained.

By ironing on the right side OF q

The removal of stains from linen is the
most troublesome of all laundry tasks.
Tea and coffee stains can be obliterated
by stretching the stained part nat on

then rubbing with equal parts of glycerin
and lukewarm water.
Fruit stains must be treated with boil
ing water while still fresh. Salt has long
been considered the antdote for wine
stains. keep on rubbing with the salt until
the stain disappears. If the stain is te-
nacious stretch the part affected over q
bowl and pour boiling water upon 1t.
Once a stain is removed the linen needs
but little rubbing. Simply soap it thor

joyed such general popularity as vel
vet does at the present time Velvet
dresses. Jackets, coats. cloaks. wraps
muffs and hats may be seen every
where; on the street. in street cars or
automobiles and at all indoor functions
where women congregate. Black velvet
in particular seems to be a great fla
vorite which is quite natural. as it is
the most generally becoming and
shows the effects Of wear less than
other kinds OF velvet.
A handsome black velvet coat and
skirt costume. the coat short ana loose.
the skirt straight and narrow. accom-
panied BY good looking blouse 10
match OF sheer materials. is most
satisfactory thing for dressy afternoon
wear. The coat and skirt are usually
trimmed in the stunning black silk
braids and fastenings or may have
black satin for trimming with a touch
of fur, and a popular blouse idea calls
for black chiffon over white. the veil
ing chiffon being cut on the simplest
lines. while any trimming us ed is Law
ished upon the under white. Some of
the prettiest things of the kind have
gold lace or gold embrolderies upon the
white chiffon yelling the white satin
foundation. and cleaning throug the
sheer black, and the guimpe may be of
fine gold net lace or of some fine white
lace or net.
one piece froeks of black or dark
colored velvet made up on exceedingly
simple lines are very modish for wear
under a separate coat. While all models
resemble each other to some extent,
individuality is given by the guimps
and unders leeyes. the line of trimming
around the neck etc Black satin
trims many OF these little frocks. be-
ing used in bands, cords. buttons. ETC.
and often velvet and satin share honors
in the frock. all the upper portion of
the skirt and a large part OF the bodice
being of the satin.
An unlined collar of hemstitched
chiffon in some bright tone is frequent
~ the only reLeving note of color on a
velvet short frock of black. deep pur-
pie, dark blue OF some other sombre
shade. and the effect of such a collar is
delightful when the color is good and
the arrangement cleverly handled. A
soft bright rose o. cerise is much liked
ana chiffon in emerald green. vivid
blue or tawnY orange is used success
/ fully upon black velvet. Sometimes a
little embroidery in glowing colors
sparingly introduced somewhere about
the bodice is attractively used with
dark velvet.
The one piece frock of velvet is very
