Disk Before Flowing.

A simple way to increase crop yields
is to disk the land before blowing it.
Do not attempt to disk it too deep,
but just pulverize the surface. Then
turn it over and disk again. In this
way you will get deep, well pulver-
lied seed bed The small first roots
Of the plants will not have to force
their way through hard clods.
If you try to pillow to the same depth
as the disk has gone, the ground prob
ably will not turn. In this case you
will have TO plow deeper or tighten the
disk

When you are blowing up sloping

THE EXPOSITION PLEASES
Necessary to Repeat Demonstrations,
Crowds Are So Large.

Some demonstrations at The World
in Cincinnati" attract such crowds
that they have to be repeated
more times than those scheduled to
satisfy the visitors. At some hours
five or six demonstrations are going
on at the same time In different
countries. There are "A Tour Through
Africa" "A Palestine Wedding" "An
Afternoon Call in Japan" "At the
Well in Burma" and demonstrations
of worship Of the different deitles in
the Hall Of Religions and other places.
All are happening at the same time
under one roof, while In the Hall of
the Homeland" things are moving at
at the same rate.
One OF the most picturesque dem.
onstrations this week is that of the
immigrants clad in the costumes Of
different countries as they land at
Ellis Island, led by G. w. Bunton, who
march through the halls before going
through the medical examination and
other requirements of those who come
to our shores.

 l If her husband, who is a farmer, l looks dubiously at the sky and pre- I diets rain, when hay is to be cut, she will point out what to her are certain sure indications of fine .weath- 1 CT. And she will so buoy him up that he will get busy with his men, l instead of bem oaning the chances of rain.

THE HOSTESS:
LATE SUMMER MILLINERY.

The lingerie hat has appeared in our midst as fresh and dainty as fine embroidery and cobweb lace can
 make it-not the floppy infanfile lingerie hat so difficult for an adult to. wear. but simply following the lines Of the sailor or Shepherdess These are seldom transparent, the embroid- cry or lace being used over the straw or else on chiffon or net founJIa- : ton. One model Is straw hat Ilav- ing lace used for the brirn edge, and this supported only by wires To be carried with these hats, the natural accomplishment. too, of lingerie gown, are being shown the daintiest lingerie parasols, not very useful to protect one from the fiercest sun. but charming nevertheless and quite practical when lined with plain or Dresden silk, which they frequently are.
 Closely akin to the lingerie hat is the hat yelled wholly or in part with daintily flowered chiffon or figured net. The writer saw a Ieghorn par- tially covered with pale pink cl,iffon, it's motif being small pink buds. The trimming was extremely simple, being pand or pink picot ribbon tightly banding the base of the crown and
 bowed at the side, and ruffles of nar- row VaIenciennea two lying on the brim at the edge of the chiffon and two applied around the head-size. producing a cap effect which is. very fetching. Another hat having the fri1led under cap effect was of twine colored straw. faced with pink chit fon gathered into an inch wide ruffle around the head-size. A wreath of l ribbon flowers and green velvet foli- age, each flower being one of the beautiful shades. was applied flat against the underbrirla. The hat was large and round and had a four-inch crown, slightly sunken, around the base of which was band of prom
 rose velvet ribbon arranged in sca,t drapery and finished by a bow at the left edge, one end of which was drawn over the edge.
 In the present modes, despite the
 task of scarcity of trimming, may be found much to encourage the mil lliner-The Millinery Trade Review.
