FOR woMAN's EYE

Separate Norfolks are playing an
important part in outing attire.
The plated or partly plated skirt
seems now the perplexing problem.
The pannier, having served it's pur-
pose, is not sure to be an autumn
feature.
Fashion in mourning attire no
longer requires a woman to be heav-
lily swathed in crepe.
Black and white continues an oft
repeated combination. but blue and
white is also very popular
For tailor mades this year covert
coating is having a great vogue, and
some of the smartest walking cos
fumes seen just now are carried out
In this material
Despite the fact that there are a
number OF new plated, draped and
fiounced skirts being made up for
fall, II is generally conceded that the
narrow appearance win be preserved
All suit coats are longer and none
shorter than thirty inches. Monkey
jackets have gone out entirely and in
their stead are shown coats with
panel backs. straight under arm
forms. and attractive notifications Of
loose box fronts which prevailed last
season.
Grays, tans, and slate greens pre-
dominate In the fine. closely woven
fine serges, English tweeds, Scotch
mixtures, ratines, and rough surfaced
boucle yarns which are the fashion
able fabrics. The tailored suits for
autumn service are being made up by
both custom tailors and large man
ufacturers In these foods.

EMPTY BOOM.

Ever since the Chicago convention
syphon has been at work on that
great dam OF popular demand for the
third term. In addition the embank-
ment has been leaking and evapora-
tlon has also been drawing the fluid
away. What is left? Very little, an
swers the New York Herald. There
Is now no third term party worthy of
being counted. The candidate will
hold a convention to nominate him
self at Chicago, unless something in
the meantime intervenes. but it will
be a convention containing few i'm
portant men and packed mostly with
the self-seekers and those cherishing
personal grudges against President

MILLET Is A MONEY CROP
IF IT IS PROPERLY GROWN
Gives Good Grain and Hay Itself and
Leaves Soil In Good Condition
For Other Things.

To grow-a profitable crop of millet
one must have a thorough knowledge
of its habits and needs. This grain Is
a great forager of the three or four
inches of soil just below the surface
and will send out such an amount of
root growth that this part of the soil
will feel like sponge during the ripen-
ing period. 1t will also stool to such
an extent that it will entirely cover
the ground and crowd out every other
plant that may start at the same time.
1t will head out ready to produce grain
as soon as the real corn days of July
and August come 1 have seen millet
that was sown the second week of
June head out in the same week as
some close beside it that was sown
July II. other conditions being the
same, except that the earlier sown
would have the advantage of more
stalk and leaf growth. After the
ground is well covered one need not
fear drought. The heads will continue
to grow and ripen till frost comes.
AS to its needs, we find that during
the first few weeks of its growth mill
let, like corn. must have available an
abundance of nitrogen and other plant
food 1t must also have plenty of
moisture to draw upon during the
heading and ripening period. A warm.
moist season lasting late into the fall
will give bumper crop. If 1 were to
prescribe an ideal condition for grow
ing millet i should advise farmers to
pillow an old sod very shallow in the
fall, harrow thoroughly in early spring,
SOW millet at corn planting time and
top dress with about ten tons per
acre of stable manure to which have
been added about fifty pounds to a ton
of finely ground good commercial fer
tilizer. The field would not have to be
touched until harvest. and if condi-
tons were at all favorable one could

InfertiIe EGGS Keep Best.


A large part of the heavy loss from
bad eggs can be obviated by the pro-
duction of infertile eggs This has
been demonstrated by the investiga-
lions which during the past two years
have been conducted in the middle
west by the department of agricul-
ture.
Secretary Wilson estimates that there
Is an annual loss of $4,000, 900 in the
egg crop of the United States, the
greater portion of which falls on the
farmer. who is by far the largest pro-
Queer. OF this enormous loss about
one-thfrd is caused by heat which de-
yelops the embryo of the fertile egg,
causing what is known to the trade as
blood ring" As it is impossible to
produce a blood ring in an infertile
egg such an egg will stand a higher
degree of temperature without serious
deterioration than will a fertile egg.
r. The secretary says that if farmers
and others engaged in the production
of eggs would market their male birds
as soon as the Matching season is over
large saving would be made, as prac-
ticaliy every infertile. egg would grade
first or second if clean and promptly
marketed

Culled Fresh From the Farm
BETTER LAND, NOT MORE
LAND.

Only too often do farmers COM
pei themselves to struggle
through life with poor tools.
poor buildings and worse house
hold equipments In order that
they may save up money with
which to buy more land when
the facts are they do not want
and cannot use more land.
Land hunger has been a hui
man affection since the days of
Moses, but it should not be so.
The desire to own land is most
highly laudable. but the craze
for more land" too often
amounts to a real arrangement
Annual demonstrations in ev-
cry neighborhood show that the
land is not producing to its full
capacity, and most of it is not
even approaching that With
the present state of the labor
market there are comparatively
few men who would not be bet
ter off by spending their surplus
money on the home farm than
in the purchase of more land.
Large areas of land at present
values mean large taxes and
other OUTLAWS for upkeep. They
must be made to produce well
in order to pay a return on the
investment of cash and labor.
but too often they do not do it.
With his available force the
average farmer can produce
more in actual crops, live stock
and money on his home quarter
than he can on a section, and
the labor and taxes are much
lighter.
More important still, he can
enjoy the comforts of a house by
investing in his own farm in
stead of depriving himself of
these in order to satisfy his land
hunger Spend your cash on the
home farm and see if life is not
the better worth living.-Kansas

The Test For Acid Soils.

The material used in testing soils
for acidity is the ordinary blue litrnus
paper, which may be obtained at any
drug store This should be kept in
tightly stoppered bottles and must
never be touched with the hands. Use
small pliers OF a pin in handling the
strips A good method in testing the
soils is to place the litmus paper in
the bottom of tumbler with piece
of blottfng paper over it and then to
put in the soil to be tested Add suf-
ficient water to saturate the soil, COW
er with saucer and allow to stand.
After two hours look at.tte litmus pa
per through the bottom of the tum-
bier and IL it has turned red the soil
is acid Always check such a test by

TOBACCO CROP


The bureau of commerce and labor
reports that more than a billion pounds
of tobacco year is being grown in the
United States. This is an increase of
more than one-fifth in ten years.
The acreage has grown to be almost
100000 or an expansion of 17.6 per
cent, while in the decade the value of
the crop has gone up from 100000, 900
to more than $104 100000, an increase
of SO per cent.
Kentucky still leads the continent,
with nearly 100000 acres planted in
tobacco, producing more than 1896, OOO,-
600 pounds, valued at almost 1O,OOO-
900. North Carolina is second, Virgin
IA third, Ohio fourth. The greatest in
creases in acreage are 500 per cent in
North Dakota, 249 per cent in West
