in opposition, as the moon is the di- rector of the atmospheric system of weather, the agen of the sun, distrib- uting light by reflection upon the dark side of our earth.
 New England farmers make their mistakes. Soils are made possible like the atmosphere of the sun, and the crop value depends upon proper blend of air and soil in culture.
 All disorders are organic material. On unhealthy, impoverished soil pro- duces and unhealthy impoverished crop. Hence the low average of the farm results.
 Farmers should aim to use all the soil and atmosphere possible in the growth of their crops.
 Seeding and thinning are important features to be given attention. Soils should never bel fet bare. A feeder crop should be planted as soon as possible to cover the soil all the year around.

An inspection of the seasons new offerings in dresses convinces the ob- server that silk is in prime favor. Taffeta, plain, changeable or chiffon, is popular Taffeta combined with char mouse or crepe de chine is also utilized i'll some smart models.
 A good example of the favored mode is a black chiffon taffeta and net the skirt of taffeta having three graduat- ed rufhes on a net tunic. The waist is of black net over very coarse white net, the whole over a chiffon lining of flesh pink. In the girdle is a hand some American beauty rose.
 Dainty and attractive was a light blue changeable taffeta having a draped skirt. Bulgarian girdle and the new Easter lily collar in rich lace.
 Vim fig crepe de chine built a. Frenchy frock. with high draped tunic skirt. The waist was full, the sleeve being cut in one piece with the shoulder. Soft frills of lace gave dainty finish at throat and wrists
 The fashionable reseda in ratine was employed for a model in which the ratine border on black net was used to define the tunic, and on sleeves and waist. The girdle and sash were of black satin. and there was natty finish of lines of black satin but tons.
 For early spring wear there is al- ways a demand for two-piece suits, one of which noted yesterday was de- veloped from duvetyne. in leather tint It had a slightly draped skirt and an Eton in loose jacket effect with embroidered collar and cuffs in the new blue.
 Noticeable this season is the irregu- lar hang of the skirts. All the to- date models have a little hike either back or front, giving the effecs of our grandmothers' days, when the Sunday go-to- meetin' skirt was pinned up. to keep it from touching floor or walk.
 A tango ePOnge suit on display had a graceful tier skirt, an Eton with Norfolk effect, ratine collar and cuffs.
 The Newest Blouses.
 Silk crepe in all the light shades is favored for blouseS this season All have the new long, draped sleeve and low collar. White fancy crepe with dots in color are well liked dainty but sensible novelty is a flesh pink blouse in tub silk, with smart crystal buttons.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMus. Whit Is Humus and Why Needed.
" H STEVENSO-

w. H. -SoL IT. E<~NOOlNr
 Iowa State Agri Experiment Station.
 All soils that are really productive contain decaying roots, leaves and ani- nal life. We call this partly decayed organic matter humus. This material Is the life of the soil. It is impossible to grow crops unless the soil Is we'll supplied with humus.
 Hurnus has many functions in soils. It makes heavy soils open and porous, and this promotes creation. Clay soils are especially benefited from the standpoint of these changes. It in creases the water holding power and thus Is an important factor in making sandy soils productive. It supplies the bacteria of the soil with food. These bacteria are Indispensable be- cause some of them make the nitrogen of the soil and render it available as a plant food. Humus gradually de- cays and liberateS carbonic acid gaS.' This acts on the minerals of the soil and liberates at least a small portion of the plant food which they contain. Az a rule, dark colored soils contain . considerable amount of humus and are fertile.
 Plants Supplement Manuers.
 If there were an abundance of ma nure on all farms the problem of keeping soils supplied with organic matter and hunts would be easily solved. All that would be required would be the application of the ma nure to keep all the land supplied with organic matter. But there will never be enough of this material because all of the soil products of the farm cannot be fed to animals. The hu- man race must have other food than milk and meat. Therefore we must depend upon plants to supplement ma nures and furnish an adequate supply of hurnus. In some cases we may use only their roots and stubble; often the entire plant will be plowed under.
 If only a, limited amount of manure is available it is often advisable to use it to grow some clover or other crop to blow under. When used in this way more humus is secured than would be the case if the manure were used directly. In general the clovers are the best plants to grow for a supply of organic matter. There would be practically no limit to the amount of this material which would be available if farmers would put their lands in shape to grow clover successfully. This crop fin recent years has been failing more and more, and land has become deficient in organic matter, and less productive. Drainage, fertili- eat1on and use of lime will help many farmers to get the clover they must have in order to keep their soils stock ed with humus.
