DECORATION FOR SOFT SILKS
Many Ideas Have Been Put Forward
Some Highly Decorative and Some
in Quicter Forms.

Quaint medallions and bouquets and
prirn little baskets of flowers are scat.
tered over the surface of soft silks.
Rings of several colors and of irregu-
lar shapes are dropped at widely
spaced intervals over other silks, and
on others highly decorative patterns
aye used. Lovely georgette crepes
have baskets of flowers scattered over
the surface. A fine taffeta broche
which combines crispness and softness
in just the right degree is ornamented
with little flower which never grew
On land or sea.
Stripes are very fashionable and are
cleverly used. Gay-patterned Innings
are used in coats and suits. Delicate
organdie embroideries are used in a
number Of dainty ways; many are
lightly touched in color, especially old
blue and delicate rose. Embroidered
nets touched in color are used for
entire frocks as we'll as for trimmings.

STYLES IN BLOUSES

ion, and white and colored organdies,
which have been so extensively used
for neckwear, have been cordially
taken up by the makers Of blouses, :
The plain white organdie waists are
embroidered with one or more colors;
sometimes in the simple and ever
pleasing design of scallops, again in
polka dots and triangles Of brilliant
red and blue, green, black, and yellow.
Because polka-dot frocks are in fash
ion, we will be able to wear separate
blouses of polka-dot fabrics with the
pleased feeling that we are quite in
the middle of the picture. Taffeta and
satin are not looked upon with any
degree of warmth, but taffeta is ap-
piled to chiffon and then embroidered
in gold and silver, to build up an or
nate blouse. White silk net of such

to mistake it for tulle, has crept down.
ward in the scale of dressing from q
ball gown to a blouse. Its acceptance
by the smart dressmakers for this pur-
pose leads the way for the new nets
that have come over from France for
gowns, such as point desprit and the
net with the square or dot woven in
it. The former is especially attrac-
tive for blouse to be worn with 4
thin serge or silk suit.
Everyone knows by this time that
the smartest of French blouses drops
over the skirt instead of going under
it, after the manner Of a. miniature
Russian blouse Cheruit sent this out
in white organdie, with sash of col.
ored silk, and it has led the way for q
dozen other conceptions by our own
dressmakers.
One of the most successful ways In
which it has been copied is in colored
silk jersey, touched up with a simple
embroidered design in other brilliant
colors, and held in by wide belt of
knitted silk like mans cravat.

buckle.
Some of these blouses are in white
with Pierrot design of black en-
broidery, but others, intended for
country wear, are of yellow, turquoise
blue, and apple green. They faster
down the left side in a straight linz
from shoulder to hem and have a
loose, muf1erlike collar and also fas
tens at the side, under the left ear.
The majority of the sleeves are long
in the summer blouses, as we'll as
loose, and end in an ornamental cuff
They are just as apt to have a high
neck as a low neck.

Six yards is the correct width for a

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
The treatment of seed potatoes with
formaldehyde or with corrosive sub.
Innate has been recommended for
many years as a preventive of scab
and other diseases carried on the tu-
bers.
Such treatment is, on the whole,
profitable, but has several limitations
which should be clearly recognized
to prevent disappointment, according
to the specialists of the department.
The object Of disinfecting seed pota-
toes is to destroy the germs of scab
and other surface parasites which
might otherwise be planted with the
seed and infect the new crop. Only
surface infections are reached by this
method. 1t is only partially effective

TREATING SCOURS IN HORSES
Give Mixture OF Whole Oats and One.
Ninth Part Wheat Bran-Have
Teeth Attended To.

For scours in horses, feed mixture
of whole oats and one-ninth part of
wheat bran by weight, allowing one and
a fifth pounds of this for each hundred
pounds of body weight as a days ra-
ton. In the same way feed one pound
Of hay per hundred pounds of body
weight. Increase hay and decrease
the grain mixture when the horse is
idle. Let him run out in the yard
daily, when not at work and when
the weather is fine. Muzzle him be-
tween meals if he eats his bedding.
Allow free access to rock salt. Give
the drinking water before meals un-
less he has access to pure water at
all times. Have his teeth attended
to by a. veterinarian, and if he bolts
his feed mix some hard peas with it
or put it in a very large box, or have
some cobblestones in the feed box.

MAINTAIN HEALTH OF COLTS
Easy to Prevent Navel Disease BY
Providing Clean and Sanitary
Stalls for Animals.

Navel disease which infects colts
soon after foaling can easily be pre-.
vented by providing clean and sani.
tary stalls for the mares and colts and
keeping the stable well disinfected, &C.
cording to J. S. Coffey of the animal
husbandry department, Ohio state uni
versity.
The disease is easily transmitted
from old bedding, sawdust or barn
yard scrapings. Only clean and new
straw should be put in the stall and
a strong solution of iodine kept handy
for bathing the navel cord of the colt.
The first milk of the mare contains
colostrum, natural laxative, and is
essential in keeping the young colt
in good condition; therefore, mares
should not be MIXED before or soou
after foaling. In few days both
mare and colt can exercise in the pas
ture lot.

as it attacks metal. It is more effec-
tive than formaldehyde, particularly
against rhizoctonia and powdery scab.
Do not use the same solution moro
than three times, as the strength
diminishes with each lot of potatoes
soaked.
TO treat large quantities., set sew
eral barrels on slightly elevated plat
form. Fit plug in hole in the bot
tom of each barrel, fill with potatoes,
cover with solution, let stand two
hours, draw off solution, and pour into
another barrel. Increase the number
Of barrels in proportion to the guam
tity to be treated. Another method
is to use large wooden vat or trough,
into which the potatoes in sacks are
lowered by rope and pulley and later
hauled out, drained, and dried on slat1
ted racks.
Seed potatoes may be treated sew
eral weeks before planting, provided
they are not reinfected by storing in
old containers or storage bins.
Sprouted potatoes are injured by
treatment, but will throw out new
sprouts. In general, however, pota-
toes will not be injured by following
the above directions Many growers
believe termination is improved by
treatment.

It's Valuable Now.


When William Jessup, who formerly
operated a WOODEN mill in Princeton,
died 20: years ago, he left among his
effects large key of Russian red dye
stuff. Bach housekeeping time his son
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Woods, had to shift it
around. Woods had tried to sell it
to wholesalers in vain: they didn't
need it.
'Whatll we do with this?" asked
Mr.. Woods when they cleaned house
last summer
"Pile it on the trash heap and burn
it; I'm tired of looking at IT, said
Mrs Woods.
Being dutiful husband, Mr.. Woods
obeyed.
Now the Russian dye is said to be
unobtainable at any price, and the
amount that Mr.. Woods burned would

$1,000.

Soil Conditions and Potato Diseases.
Soil conditions have an important re-
lation to potato tuber diseases, and
many of these are widely spread
throughout the country, perhaps ma
tive to some soils. Common scab is
favored by neutral or slightly al
kaline soil, and seldom gives trouble in
acid soils. It is therefore increased
by lining and by fresh stable manure,
wood ashes, and alkaline fertilizers
such as nitrate Of soda and ground
bone while acid phosphate and sui
plate of ammonia tend to diminish
scab.
Rhizoctonia occurs to some extent
in nearly all soils, but appears to at
tack potatoes most when the condi-
tons are unfavorable to the best de-
velopment of the potato plant. Bring
the land to an ideal state of filth to
minimize loss from rhizoctonia.
Powdery scab is worst on cold, wet,
or poorly drained soils. Blackleg,
