Certain short draped coats Of sup

launched by extremists, who are push

by no means graceful even for the
slender woman, and are not likely to
be taken seriously by the women in
this country.

Elose on the left shoulder, and have

Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience

Innings are often of the handsome

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admlrer.

1t is learned that number of new
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist, who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session of some of the many friends
Of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific
The result Of this research has been
the finding Of n essay, said to be
highly poetical in character, written
by the novelist after witnessing a vol
cano in action, supposedly either the
famed crater of Savaii or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and a
number Of smaller verse compositions
Still another manuscript, a blank
verse relation of a well-known legend
of Maui, of considerable length, but
unfinished has also come to light, and
the enthusiastic admirer Of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort.

10 PREVENT CORN DISEASE
Only Way 10 Control Smut Is 70 De.
stroy Balls and Avoid Use of
Fresh Manure.
(By 3. u. FREEMAN.)

Every farmer is familiar with corn
smut, The largest masses are some
times over six inches in diameter and
are usually found In the ear. Smut
Is also found in the tassel, on the
leaves and stem, and even on the
roots which hold the corn plant to the
soil. The sTfatt-mass Is blaekish, and
is at first covered by a whitish film,
which soon breaks and let's loose the
spore-powder, which Is blown about
by the wind In general, there are two
ways by which the spores get back
on the land, ready to infest the next
years crop. First, they may be scat
tered by the wind, or the smut-masses
may be left on the field Second, the
smut-dust may get into the fodder
and may pass through the alimentary
canals Of the cattle, without being in
jured and may thus get into the ma
nure pile. Or, again, the smut-masses
may be thrown into the Eafuse or
manure pile In either case they may
be carried back to the soil when the
latter Is MANFRED. Now, it is an I'M
portant fact that the smut spores not
only may live through the winter in
the manure pile, but they may act
ually increase in number by growth
when the pile remains of proper tenn.
perature. Fresh manure containing
smut is therefore very likely to in
crease smut in a corn field. The
smut may live for several years in a
manure pile, but will gradually die
out. For this reason, old manure is
much better for fertilizer on a corn
field than fresh manure.
In the spring the spores terminate,
producing long chains Of new spores,
which are blown about in the wind
and infest any growing part of the
corn plant; producing, finally, smut
balls. The spores may live in the
soil or in manure piles for years.
This, Of course, makes seed treatment
useless; and the only way to con
troll the smut is to destroy all smut
balls, when possible, to prevent them

GLEAalNGS FOR BEE LOVERS
Buokwheat Makes Fine Honey--Littls
Insects Are Benefit to Orchard
Care In Moving.
By A. J0sEPH.)

If you have the space and would

viii bloom when oil other flowers are
gone.
Some people think bees destroy
fruit, but that is not SO. The birds
pick the fruit and as usual thing
they bite at the ripest on the trees
and when the bees find these fruits
they devour them and leave nothing
but pit and skin. The damage to ripe
fruit is never started by bees; and
after being damaged by the birds il
is useless for marketing and, IL it ie
not removed from sound fruit next
to 1t, the one 1t touches win rot also
Thus you see the bees are a benefit
in the orchard.
In moving bees do not do so until
the weather gets cold, too cold fol-
them to leave the hive, or they will
not stay. They will 90 back to the
old location, unless moved a mile and
a half or two miles. Then they will
stay without any trouble; but IL NOV
ed only short distance in "a hours
the hives will be pretty well desert
ed.
AS a general thing bees do not fly
more than mile or mile and halt
and they become familiar with the
surroundings within that distance.

TOLD Her LIFEs AMBITION
Small Girl Somewhat crudely tx

Teacher When She Grew Up,


At one time or another during the
ward school life Of little girl there
prevails the ambition to become
teacher. Perhaps It IL the indisputable
authority possessed BY the hand that
Yields the rules or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surrounded
BY the most inaccessible difficulties
to the small boy and girl They win
nearly always tell their ambitions to
well liked teacher, and one rather
surprising declaration was given by a
little maid in one Of Miss Clara Town
sends room before she became prlnci-
pal Of the James school.
Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters is the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening little
girl was given the desired privilege,
and while engaged in the task she
struck up shy sort Of conversation
with Miss Townsend. Finally the
usual confession was made.
When grow up, am going to be
teacher" she announced.
"That so?' pleasantly asked Miss
Townsend, "And why do you want
to be a teacher"
WELL" was the rather surprising
answer, "T'll have to be either a
teacher or lady, and | would rather
be teacher" Indianapolis News.

NEW VOGUE IN CANDLEsTICKS
Those Of Glass or Delicate chinaware
Have Replaced the More Elaborate
Silver Ones.

The newest candlesticks are of iri-
descent glass, and their effect is
charmingly festive, though they are
not so dignifed as the handsome, we'll
caTed-for silver ones of tradition.
Sometimes these glass candlesticks
have shades Of deeper tinted glass
also. Dresden candlesticks that have
long been treasured for their dainty
beauty alone are also being brought
out into action by some smart hos
tesses. Now that we no longer crowd
our tables with flowers these precious
things have a chance of being seen to
advantage They are most effective
when no large tablecloth, but only
lace and linen mats are used on a
beautifully polished table White
candles. unshaded or with white or
pale pink shades, should be used with
them.
The fortunate chatelaine who pos
sesses Canton china is now searching
for candlesticks Of the same ware
and shades painted In water color
with designs to match the china.
The prospective bride. instead Of
having set after set OF silver candle
sticks, will be delighted to receive
carved ivory ones instead This hint,
Of course, Is only for wealthy friends,
for ivory candlesticks are not cheap

from shedding their spores on the
ground into the manure, and avoid
placing fresh manure on corn land.
Changing corn land from year to year
also is beneficial.
Since the smut-masses that are left
in corn field may assist in spread
ing the disease, they should be cut
out Of the field during the growing
season. They should, moreover, be
cut out before they have fully opened
up and spread their spores, and
should be collected and burned. They
should not be thrown on the manure
heap or the refuse pile, thence to be
carried back to the land.
Rotation of crops is valuable in pre-
venting corn-smut. The reason for
this is plain The corn-smut in the
soil will not live many years, and that
which is in the soil will not damage
any other farm crop. After several
years, corn may again be planted.
with less danger, since the smut in
the soil win have at least partly
died out.
Seed treatment has not been found
to be Of any use. The smut does not
get into the seeding plant, as in the
sinking smut Of wheat, and hence
seed treatment does not seem neces-
sary.
The sugar corns seems to have
more smut than the field corns, though
no varieties even OF the latter are
known that are free.

Hen Manure

Hen manure as fertilizer has
greater value than any other fertili-
ger on the farm. It is generally sup
posed by some poultrymen that the
manure win pay for taking care of the
hens, but this depends much on how
1t is kept. The dropping boards under
the roosts should be kept covered with
some absorbent to preserve the
strength Of the droppings. Land plas,
ter or South Carolina rock is good.
Never use wood ashes or lime with the
poultry droppings. The ammonia, or
nitrogen would, be set free. and part
Of the value Of the fertilizer lost. The
droppinga should not be applied to the
soil as made, but used on growing
crop, or covered soil. We use it on
corn by putting a handful on each hill
at the time Of last hoeing. It should
be kept under cover until used.
