After Harvest Cultivation for the Dry
Farmer

The moisture supply for the growth
of plants in dry land agriculture comes
from the natural precipitation. The
greater portion of our rainfall comes
during the winter months. Plants are
not growing at this season and cannot
make use of the moisture as it comes.
How best to hold and conserve the win
ter precipitation is the problem. Ithas
been found at the Agricultural Expert
ment Station at Pullman that soil which
is in loose open condition will take in
and hold from Is to 35 per cent more
moisture than one which is in hard
compact condition. Soils which have
been thoroughly loosened up during late
summer and early fall, before the rainy
season, either by thorough discing or
fall blowing, give yields of from five to
ten bushels per acre than the same type
of soils that are allowed to go through
the winter untouched after harvest.
Discing to a depth of four or five inches
as soon after harvest as practicable, is
just as efficient and beneficial as fall
blowing, and is easier and more econ
omically accomplished. More of the
winter rainfall will be held, run-off and
washing will be prevented and the soil
will be benefited, where the stubble
land has been given thorough discing
during late summer or early fall. Try it.

PARIS. July 30.-Many of the old
conservative French houses will have
nothing to do with the pannier. Worth
insists that there is nothing artistic
about 1t, and, of course, it is too
fuffy-ruffly for Redfern, and as for
Lafferniere, the man who dressed the
Empress Eugene when she set the
mode for the fashionable world, if
you mention pannier to him his
shoulders go up above his ears. 1t
looks as though we would not wear
them much this winter.
The Jacket of different color from
the skirt of the walking suit seems
to have taken all Paris in its en-
brace. Scarcely one of the great
houses that does not show one or
two models embodying this idea. The
one I am sending you today is from
Martial-Armond, and there are a
number of little notions in its de-
tails to which I want to call your
special attention.
First, the coat is of ~broadcloth and
the skirt velvet, a combination which
has not been employed in America up
| 70 this time. And then the color
scheme is also odd, the Goa being
of tan and the skirt of black, a COM
bination I have not seen before. The
| collar of the coat is black velvet.
A novel bit of trimming on the
coat is a large penny of crocheted
worsted in natural colors on the
square lapel which hooks across the
front. This lapel is a part of a fit-
ted piece which comes from the
shoulder, buttons above and belo "
1t and continues around to the back
| side seam.
Coming from under the arms and
reaching up under the bust Is a
cluster of rounded pin tucks. These
little tucks and shirrings in mex
pected places are features of almost
every one of the new French coats.
The Martial-Armond skirt is short
er than any other I have seen in
Paris, which seems to have entirely
discarded the very short skirt, so
popular the last two seasons. The
black velvet skirt to be worn with
the tan jacket is very narrow, but
the front breadth is brought up and
gathered into folds on the lower
right side; three tan b~roadcloth but
tons are used on the lower part of
one side of the skirt and five Just
below the coat On the other .give the
costume a particularly chic effect.

II the blouse happens TO open at the
back 1t is best to cut off the buttons
or hooks. az the ease may be, and
close that opening by stitching 1t frni-
~ on the machine, then making a new
opening in the centre Of the front;
but if you wish to make a one-piece
slip, 10 wear under lingerie frocks.
leave the opening in the back and
make yourself a close-ftting petit
coat; join this TO the c-orset-cover
at the waist line, making the placket
of the skirt meet the opening in the
cover.
Embroidered beading wears better
than that Of lace. 1t is an easy mat
ter to whip a lace edge on to this
beading, and in that way obtain a
lacy effect. with the assurance of
good wear.
Do not discard your blouses: turf
them to account in this way and start
a nestegg in the savings bank with
the money saved.

TO rip out the sleeves, cut out the

it and your corset cover is ready to

Evening Star.
Very truly yours.
SORROWFUL BELLE.
Hair on the fair face of a girl is.
indeed, a tragedy, because it is sup
posed to be one of the attributes of
masculinity only. and notwithstand-
ing most girls have been known 1T
one time or another to wish they
were boys, yet being girls they only
want to be the girliest kind.
Sometimes a girl is unduly sensi-
tive in this regard. A light, downy
fuzz ON ones face is not ugly. pro-
vided there r no coarse hairs. In
Spain il is considered a mark OF
beauty. If this fuzz is dark, it can
be lightened by using at least once
a day a solution of n part am
monia to nine parts of hydrogen
dioxide. First wash your face with
soap and hot water TO remove all
the oils: then dab ii with the solu-
ton, taking care not to get it on the
eyebrows or hair, as it will bleach
and ruin any kind of hair in time.
If you keep this up for month
YOU will see that the roots OF the
fuzz are being killed and thausis is
growing thinner. and less noticeable
1 know a girl who removed the hair
on her upper lip by this method She
pulled out with tweezers all coarse
hair and then she used the solution.
1t took two years to do it.
The electric needle is about the
only thing with which to remove
coarse hair on the face. 1t is rather
expensive, but most girls can o
omize in some way TO get the money
to have the work done.
For hair on the arms, which is
so annoying when one wears the
short sleeves thai are now in fash
ion, buy five cents worth of barium
suIphite, divide it into two parts n
to one-half add two dessertspoons Of
cornstarch and enough water to make
the consistency of cream. Apply n
leave on about a minute and a half;
wash off with tepid water. Use a
wooden spoon to mix, as the barium
turns metal black. This is apt to
burn the face. so l would not Advise
its use there.
