by one of the best growers that he

The high prices which these mel

SAVING THE STRAW STACKS
Much viii Go TO Waste at Harvest
Time Unless Steps Are Taken to
Get Them Into Shape.
CRy w. f. PuRnrEN

Unless steps are taken at harvest
time to save the straw stacks, much
of the straw will go to waste in one
way or another.
This is practically true where tire
stacks are poorly constructed. as they
usually are with our modern wire
stackers If there are no hands on the
stack at the time of the threshing.
The only way we'll shaped. water
proof stack can be secured is to have
one or two good hands on the stack as
the grain is being threshed Then,
after the machine leaves, the stack
can be completed in short time, as
the straw will save. with but little
loss.
If 1t is not possible to have the
hands on the stack while the straw is
being piled up 1t can be worked over
afterward. This should be done be.

however, and a fairly good Job made
of it.
The newly made stack should then
be fenced so that the stock cannot run
to it before the straw is we'll settled
A bunch Of cattle will destroy a new
stack in very short time If permitted
to have free access to it.
Other animals are not so bad in this
respect, still. they can do considerable
damage.
Before any stock are turned to the

If they are allowed to remain about
the stack they will form steps on

of the stack, thus doing much damage.
Loose straw about the stack should
also be kept cleaned up at all times.
Stock will trample this under foot and
so spoil it for feeding and bedding pur-
poses.

DEMAND FOR MELONS
HIGH PRICES PAID FOR FRUIT IN
EASTERN CITIES.
Culture Of Montreal Variety Confined
Almost Exclusively to Small
Group Of Growers in Can
ada-SkilI Required.
CBy WILLIAM sTuART)

Some time ago the writer in an
article on cultural studies of the
Montreal market muskmelon, showed
that the commercial culture of the
famous Montreal melon is confined
almost wholly to a small group of
growers near Montreal, Canada. 1t
was also pointed out that, while a
large portion OF these melons were
marketed in Boston. New York, Phila-
delphia and other large eastern cities
at extremely remunerative prices.
practically no effort was being made
by American gardeners to meet this
demand. More recent observations
have confirmed these statements,
and in addition. have shown that not
withstanding the fact that the Mon
treal growers have for the past few
years received from ten to eighteen
dollars a dozen wholesale for their
melons, they have not as yet sue
ceeded in supplying the demand. The

BLOUSES FOR THE SUMMER
In Varied and Beautiful Designs, and
the Materials Are of the
Finest Kind

Never have separate waists been
more popular than at present, and
they are fashioned in various and
beautiful designs and in the most
charming materials. Almost all smart
blouses for the summer have waist
coat fronts and gladstone collars. The
all-white designs continue as dropping
as those of chiffon have been, and
whether made of batiste, handker-
chief linen, wolfe. marquisette or Per-
sian lawn, whether simply trimmed
with tucks or deliberately inserted
with lace, they are all adapted to the
new figure acquired by the low-busted
corsets.
Crepe is one of the most popular
and practical materials for midsum-
mer blouses. for the reason that it
gives the soft, sheer appearance of
chiffon and yet launders beautifully
and wears we'll, and the range of col
ors in which the material may be
brought is very large.
Sheer colored linen waists are
made in tailored style When white
is used the collars. cuffs and fronts
are touched up with cOlored linen
bands
Lace waists are combined with
crepe de chine. taffeta or fancy rib
bon, or other material which will
give a touch of color They are also
made up over a colored chiffon or net
lining, particularly in yellow, flesh, alb
sinthe and wisteria.
Long sleeves and short sleeves all
have their place The long sleeve has
the special advantage, now that wom-
en- are all slender, of covering up any
scragginess at the elbow, and is the
favorite sleeve for waists and dresses
that are worn out of doors, but as a
rule is not the favorite for gowns to
be worn indoors. Here are worn ell
bow sleeves, three-quarter sleeves and
those that are neither the one nor the
other. In regard to width, there is
not much variety, as all sleeves, what
over their type or length may be,
should cling to the arm.

OF course, while the gowns and
wraps and headgear capture tbs lead.
Ing roles in this annual comedy of
fall fashions, there are many new
things in the way of accessories that
play the important part of animated
scenery. For example, there is a
hint at the high collar in a neck ruche
which reminds one OF the bows that
appeared years ago behind the ears
of the fashionable demoiselle. This
ruche is of black accordion plated
chiffon, about six inches wide. gath
cred in the middle. and framing the
face as did the Elizabethan ruf1e. 1t
is piquant even though a not gener-
ally becoming fashion
Plque 10 In Favor.
The fad for piQue is being encour-
aged by pique stole and vest, heav-
lily embroidered with a rose-leaf de
sign; and ribbons of extraordinary
design and texture are going to be
used not little for trimmings and
facings and girdles. A really marvel
GUS ribbon is one that looks precisely
like a strip of birch bark, feels like
1t, too, and yet it is ribbon. 1t is an
other Pussy Willow" triumph.
There are some who claim that the
day of the separate blouse has about
passed; in fact. many couturiers are
so emphatic about this that we have
let our word upon the subject for an
emphatic place-the end The blouses
are not dead by any means. They are
vigorous, in fact, and are coming out
in nets, pussy willow silks and chif-
fons. The sleeves are all long, many
have a waterfall effect at the wrist,
but the main thing to note about them
is that the tucking and plating
schemes are reversed.
Upon the body of the waist the for
mer vertical plan has been made hori-
zontal, and upon the sleeve the hori-
zontal plan has been banished for the
vertical. The necks are for the most
part collarless.
The favorite fabric designs will be
Mexican. The old Aztec designs of
bubble, stripe and sacred bird are
especially effective.
