(By PROF. W. H. OLIN. Extension d.

A potato soil is prime requisite

Three Types Of Gowns.

There are three separate and dis
tinct types Of evening gowns this sea-
son. and every new dinner gown par.
takes Of one or the other Of these
types. There is the classic type. with
sinuous. winding draperies ending in
n narrow train. There is tho debu.
tante type (worn by every woman who
believes she looks best in girlish ef.
fects), which has flounces on the skirt
and usually a sash knotted around the
waist. And there Is the pannier type.
which Is gay and chic and eminently
Partisan, with Its puffed-out or looped-
over drapery and skirt short enough
to reveal coquettish little satin slip
pers with high heels and sparkling
buckles. or the pretty buttoned boots
Of satin. which do make the foot and
ankle adorably slim and distinguished.

Gift For Baby.

Babies always need bibs. and It is
easy to make these. They may be
plain ones or fancy. finished with EN-.
broidery lace or feather-stitching: but
an important point to remember when
making a bib is to At pad of absor-
bent cotton under the outer.covering.
else the moisture from the little ones
mouth will soak through and ruin the
dainty frock underneath.
A FELLOWSHIP 10 also q nice gift for
baby. 1t may be made Of fine linen.
embroidered on each end with a dain.
ty spray OF blossoms. This should
cover n small down pillow.
Another idea Is q bassinette or car.
riage cover Of French flannel. deco
rated with garlands OF daisies or rose
buds worked in natural colored floss.
To make the cover still more elabo-
rate. crochet lace nedallions may be
inserted in the center Of each garland.

Strawberry beds are damaged by let

Strawberries and grapes should be
uncovered as soon as they start to

Fruit trees are slow-Srowing plants
and therefore do not need Quick-acting
fertilizers as a rule.
It is Just as necessary to have the
soil In state OF high fertility for tree
planting as 1t is for corn planting.
The following formula for grating
wax 10 recommended: resin. four
parts by weight: beeswax. two parts:

Don't neglect the strawberry patch
at this season. II the winds have
blown OF any Of the mulch replace
1t ON tho bare spots Immediately.
Run a little light wire fence around
the orchard, particularly the plum or.
chard, and turn the chickens in: they
will destroy thousands Of insects.
When planting, never let the roots
get dry by leaving them In the sun or
wind. Keep the trees covered with
