An inexpensive Holiday Gift

A clever woman who always takes
time by the forelock and prepares
for Ter holiday in advance has re-
Gently completed an attractive little
sewing accessory TO hang upon the
wall by tbs side of the looking glass,
or from the post of the glass itself.
1t is designed to contain two reels
of cotton, one black, the other white;
scissors, thimble and needles, just h
few things necessary for sewing on
a button, hook or eye, etc, and which
are so often required in q hurry, and
then never seem to be at hand.
1t consists of a small square cush-
ion covered with silk and edged with
a silk cord carried into three little
loops at each of the lower corners.
and at the top there is a long loop
by which 1t may be suspended from
a nail in the wall or slung over the
post of the looking-glass. In the CEN
tire a ribbon strap is sewn on diago-
naIly, into which a pair Of scissors
may be slipped, and in the lower
right-hand corner is another, u
smaller, strap of ribbon for the
thimble.
Sewed to the back Of the upper
part of the cushion is a bone knitting
needle (Which must be long enough to
protrude an inch or so on either side).
and on this needle the two reels of
cotton are placed, and will reyolve
freely when the thread is drawn from
them.
The head Of the knitting needle will
keep one of the reels In place, and a
little sealing wax placed on the point
of the needle will hold the other in
position and prevent 1t slipping of

and a bunch OF ragbag flowers" The
hat illustrated is one of the most ex-
pensive of the eason ideas in mir
linery. 1t is made of black chiffon
velvet over a very, small cap shape,
with no trimming except a fiat bow
of the material on one side and a
rosette on the other to hold on the
feathers. But with these feathers
the inexpensiveness of the hat ends,
as every woman knows who looks
at. it. They are feathers from the
breast df. the cross egret, which are
the most expensive feathers known
to the trade. The simple" little
bunch on this velvet hat is worth at
retail $500.

IN RAISING POTATOES
Soil Should Be Cultivated Until
Plants Well Up.
cheapsst and Most Efficient Method
81 Keeping Weeds In Check and
Ground Ii Good Condition
Mulch 10 Excellent.

By PROF. J. H. SHEPHERD. North Da
kota Agricultural ConegeD
After the potatoes are planted, the
land should be narrowed at intervals
until the vines are we'll up, i.e., five
to six inches high. This is the cheap.
est and most efficient method OF
keeping the weeds in check and the
soil in good condition A four-horse
peg tooth harrow Of any type Is sat.
isfactory Care should be taken not
to compact heavy soils too much.
Cultivation should begin as soon as
the vines are up and be continued
until the blossoms appear, or until 1t
causes injury to the tops. The cult
vator should be used at frequent in
tervals, to 10 days, even if there
are no weeds. At the Cornell station
the average yield in favor Of six cul'
tivations rather than three was ii 2
bushels per acre. Thus a profit Is
secured far in excess of the labor in
volved In some seasons it might
mean the difference between success
and failure The results have been
even more marked here than at Cor
nell, but are from too limited data to
be quoted except in confederation.
Killing should never be practiced
except in districts having a heavy
rainfall and poor drainage, or where
irrigation is to be practiced. The
crop will mature little earlier when
hilled and may be of value to early
market growers Even in places hav
ing heavy rainfall the results favor
level culture. Frequent, shallow and
level cultivation should be practiced
In trials at this station }Nvel culture
gave far better results.
Mulching is sometimes practiced
when straw is PLENTIFUL A chick coat
ing OF straw is spread over the
ground soon after planting. No cult
walton is necessary. A cool moist
soil is maintained: the hest possible
condition for large yields. Mulchine
cannot be practiced on large fields
| and is not practical unless it be fol
the production Of seed or the assur
ance Of a family supply.
Potatoes at the Williston sub-sta
ton were mulched with six inches o.
straw in the dry season Of 1910. The
mulched seed was planted very shall
low--barely covered. The plot FOL
comparison was covered four niche:
deep. The yield was over 81 per cen
| heavier on the mulched plot. The pc
tatoes were larger and had mucf
higher percentage Of marketable tn
bers. The mulched potatoes were no
so we'll matured as the others. Pro
lection from the hot winds which pre-
vailed that season doubtless accounts
for much Of the beneficial effect.
| 1t has been found farther soutl
that seed potatoes grown under ;
mulch give better results than thos'
| grown in the ordinary way.

PLANTING CORN AND alfalfa
Farmers Of North Dakota Are Spread

Territory-Remedy Urged.

<By J. H. WORST, President North Da-
kota Agricultural College)
The more thorough tillage recon-
mended cannot be had under any sys-
tenn of single cropping without more
added expense for teams and men
than conditions warrant The farmers
Of the state are working hard enough
already, but they are spreading their
energies over too much territory. To
remedy this a considerable portion of
each farm should be devoted to corn
and alfalfa, two crops that do not re-
quire attention during the early days
Of spring when small grains should
be planted. BY thus lessening the
area to be seeded to small grains,
more time can be devoted to it's bet
ter tillage without increasing the num-
Der of teams or men to do the work
