FARMERS Of AUGUSTA

continued From Hls-t H&e
in all its departments is the road TO
success farmers are beginning to
listen to the men who have made a
scientific study Of the industry.
In Augusta a few years ago. a
book farmer" was looked down up
on as crank and a theorist, with no
actual knowledge of practical farm
ing, but this attitude Is being replaced
by a desire for Information as to ad-
vanced methods and now the ex-
perts from the State and Federal
agricultural departments, the Blacks
burg Experiment Station and the To-
cal experiment farm and demonstra-
tor, are listened to with the greatest
attention. It Is seldom that an an

ing now fails to attract a crowd OF
interested farmers.

STYLE OF DRESS SIMPLE
French Woman Does Without Many
Things That Are Considered Essen
tlal by Americans.

Nowhere in the world dc fashions in
dress spread so rapidly, or make their
influence felt in such diverse social
circles, as in America, and nowhere
in the world do cheap limitations of
a new mode food the market so
swiftly.
1t is only of recent years in France
that the wives of small shopkeepers,
skilled artisans, and the less impor-
tant employees of great enterprises
like railroads have ever possessed
such thing as a hat. Even now they
shop and market without one as often
as not. The wife of man in a
quiet, well established, flourishing
business will stick to her plain black
gown with big blue apron over it
in the morning, uncovered, well-ar-
ranged hair, and serviceable shoes and
plain stockings, and never change her
mode of dress, winter or summer. II
she is employed, as she so often is, at
the caisse as bookkeeper for her hus-
band, she will usually leave off the
apron; and nowadays on Sundays and
fete days she usually dons a plain
hat.
But she has no summer gowpe no

ART IN WEARING VEIL
FRENCH WOMAN HAS BROUGHT
TITO PERFECTION.
Adjustment and Care of These I'm
portant Little Accessories Of the
Toilet Are Worthy of the Most
Careful Study.

A close-fitting little hat on windy or
rainy days is completely covered with
a veil drawn up into the center of the
crown like a filet with which we go
marketing, writes a Partisan CORE
spondent A nautical person de-
scribed these young women as meat
little craft" and they really look so
workmanlike and tidy that they would
certainly brave the weather by sea or
land and never fear to look untidy,
for there is no vulnerable spot In the
hat and veil, in the coat, or in the
tight skirt and high laced boots
1t is the veil in this picture which
is interesting, for the fine weather
must do away with the weather coat
and the high boots; but the veil will
merely change its movements. Ap-
parently this feminine necessity or
adornment is to play quite an import
ant part in women's dress this sum-
mer. To know just what to do with
veil and when to do it means self
possession and sense of beauty. A
Frenchwoman rarely turns up her veil
unless 1t be one of the very heavy
mourning ones; she takes 1t off, know
ing that a veil turned up leaves an
ugly line either across the brow or on
the nose. Neither does she twist it
into funny little knot under her chin,
because she is conscious that 1t looks
untidy and is bad for the veil. She
adjusts 1t on her hat so that it can be
quickly and easily taken off, and she
pins ID over her hair precisely so that
she knows where to find the pins
when the taking off moment arrives.
1t sounds such little thing and is. in
very fact. trifie light as air, but it is
one of the details that may just as
well be mastered.

PREPARE LAND FOR
STAND OF ALFALFA
Best Method of lnoculating Is
to Use Soil From Old Field
Keep Weeds Out.

Alfalfa is hard crop to start. It is
delicate and tender, and to put alfalfa
on ordinary land without any protec-
ton or help is about like throwing
away four dollars an acre.
Put on 20 to 80 loads of manure per
acre; you are preparing the land fer
ten years.
But the land must first be worked
over and over until it is free from
weeds. 1t may take a disking or har-
rowing every ten days all summer to
do this
If the soil is acid, as shown by the
simple litmus-paper test, put on the
ground limestone. Inoculate the
ground and sow the alfalfa the last of
July or the first of August.
The best method of inoculating the
soil is to use soil from an old alfalfa
field or from a patch of sweet clover,
a wagon load or more per acre, but
this soil must not lie on top of the
ground in the hot sun many hours or
the bacteria will be killed.
There is little danger from sweet
clover, which is two-year plant, and
will not survive IN the field when the
alfalfa is moved as often as it needs
moving.

THINGS WOMEN ARE WEARING
To Be With the Elect, One Must Keep
These Facts Constantly in
the Mind.

Sleeveless silk sweater coats are
welcome novelty, for they solve the
problem of giving little warmth with
out giving too much.
Awning stripes in silks are used
for shirtwaists for morning and sports
wear.
A large and long black bow at
tached to the back of high plating
is one of the latest fads
Dainty, airy hats of haircloth come
in pink, white, blue, tan and gold.
The shapes are fat and picturesque
Petticoats are made of pretty flow
cred material or of plain white. with
ruffies of fowered material
Costly embroideries seem to be en-
tirely out of the question on the sum-
mer gowns.
Tiny frills of lace and net alter
nately distinguish some of the sum-
mer models.
Most of the pongee coats have de-
tachable collars and cuffs of contrast
ing silk.
With the passing Of spats for the
summer all sorts of fancies come to
take their place-shoes with white
tops, shoes with white-striped tops and
shoes with gray tops.
With frocks of checked silk separate
coats of dark silk are extremely chic.
Some full sleeveless bodices have
ruffies set in the armhole in lieu of
sleeves.
Revers of tucked and ruffied net
are seen inside the revers of long silk
coats.
Silk handbags are much in vogue
and black-and-white effects are among
the smartest.

making such growth do not make use
of the fertilizers.
1t is one of the hardest things
know OF to make an enthusiastic anna
teur plant grower satisfied to '1et well
enough alone" She is constantly
wanting to urge her pets on a little
faster, and in her efforts to do this
she gives them more food than they
can digest, and the consequence is
breakdown from overstimulation
nine times out of ten.
A plant that does not get as much
food as it can make good use of, will
give vastly greater satisfaction in the
long run, than the plant that gets SO
much food that it doesn't know what
to do with it.
Some persons are under the impress
sion that all plants for winter use must
be young ones. Such is not the case,
however Year-old plants, as a gem
.eral thing, are much preferable to the
young ones.
There are exceptions as in the case
Of Chinese primroses, Primula obconi-
ca and others of habit similar, In
some respects to our ANIMALS; but for
the majority of plants adapted to

The person who breaches young

does not take into consideration the
fact that a plant started this season
from a cutting will have but few
branches by winter. and plant that
has but few branches cannot give
many flowers because ample Towering
surface means many branches.
Therefore. instead of letting the ge-
raniums you start this summer bios
som in the winter, keep pinching them
back to produce a sufficient number
of branches to give the desired
amount of Towering surface.
The more branches there are the
more flowers you may expect.

REFINED PROCESS
OF FRUIT GROWING
Where Market Demands Fancy
Article Bagging Grapes VIII
Prove Profitable.
fBv 5. VAN BENTHIYsEN. !,

(by h. VAN BEN IdD SEM
Bagging grapes is one of the more
refined processes Of fruit growing
that every man si1ould test for him.
self. There are various conditions to
be considered upon which its profit
ableness depends.
Does your market demand a fancy
article and is it willing to pay for ii?
Do you suffer much loss from the
birds? In some districts they are very
destructive and scarecrows are not
Of much avail. Rot, too, is to be
considered, though some growers as
serts that bags are not a preventive of
this disease.
If grapes are bagged at the proper
time, which is soon after blooming,
they certainly will not rot unless the
canes are already full of rot spores,
and after the vineyard has once been
thoroughly cleared of the infection
it should not be again easily affected
If the fruit is kept covered.
Bagging does not appear to be re-
sorted to throughout the West, but in
the East with its higher-priced mar
kets, some growers find it profitable
to bag their entire crop. The COM
mon paper bag in use at the grocery is
usually employed, in the two-pound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than rs cents. The usual way is
to fasten them with a common pin.
Do not pin them around the stem
of the bunch, but over the cane from
which cluster descends The edges
of the bag should be folded down and
them pinned securely so as to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.
If this be done carefully, only an in
significant number of bags will be
lost during the rest of the season.
Women, with their trained fingers, are
the best for this work, when they can
be obtained. A skillful hand will pin
on thousand bags a day.
Another great advantage in bagging
is that it is one of the best ways to
preserve the grape in its ripe condi-
tion. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then be cut off, laid away in cool
place and kept still longer. They
have been kept until Christmas.
The red varieties seem to be the
thinnest skinned and most liable 70
crack and to puncture. The white
| kinds are of all the least molested by
birds, which seem to think they are
not ripe. The blacks are the first to
| be attacked.

PonQee Leads,

Pongee silk has taken a leading po-
sition for women's costumes, says
Mothers Magazine. This a matter
for congratulation, because this silk
is useful, durable and intrinsically
good. 1t is never what we call
smart" but it is rich and serviceable.
1t comes in all colors, but the present
predominance of the sand tints makes
the natural color of this pretty silk
far more in demand than even the
loveliest of other shades. 1t is rarely
used without some sort of trimming
in sharp contrast. and cerise, bright
green, dark brown and real red are
the leading favorites for this purpose

1t would be we'll IL some of us would
ask ourselves how certain lines of
treatment would suit us. All animals,
man included, have much in common.
A single trial with purebred
dairy bull will convince any man
that like will produce like, and that
the progeny will inherit the form and
characteristics from the parent that
possesses the strongest blood lines
A purebred bull will exert a strong
er influence upon the progeny when
mated with the cows Of mixed breed

breds or higher grades.
1t is a great mistake to put the
large breeds of cattle on poor, scant
pasture. Give them good field to

There is no middle course or stand

The breeding of dairy cattle is a
matter surrounded with numerous
difficulties, rendered all the more un-
certain and tantalizing from the ar
tificial conditions in which the cat
tie are reared.
Some of our highest producing dairy
cows have been developed along milk.
producing lines until they are in real
ity an unnatural deformity.
Every well-bred COW that is kept on
the farm by the very law of its being
is ready and able to assist in giving
additional value to all crops grown on
the farm if we only surround her
with the right conditions.
Buying cows and selling them as
fast as they stop giving milk will
never build up herd of high-produc-
ing dairy COWS.
The calf from the moment of its
birth should be kept in thrifty grow
ing condition. Letting an animal run
down is a great and permanent loss
1t is something lost forever, that nc
amount of after care or feeding can
regain.
When the calves are playful it is
an Indication of thrift and health.
It is essential that we attend to the
comfort aHd bodily ease of our cows
