again and finds Dickey county with n
good crop from which to select. II is
to be hoped that every farmer will
take advantage of conditions to i'm.

through careful selection of seed this
year. The selection of seed from the

before cold weather has many advan.

The value of field selecting seed

To the north. west and south of the

direction only three years ago ar' the
setting off of the premises is worth
hundreds of dollars. besides means
of breaking the winds. The trees are
cultivated and kept as clean as a corn
field in June. The plantation and
yards are fenced in with hog wire,
Il. with three strands of barbed wire on
top. In front of the home and running
down alongside of the well gravelled
roadway are sweet pea hedges and
flowers of other kinds galore. Here
can be seen the handiwOrk of Mrs.
Stevens. who is Il great lover of the

the little girl is sure to look pretty

White, pink, blue, pale green and

used for making them. Some of the
prettiest light vOiles are made up with
no other decoration than tuckS headed
with hemstitching, and smacking about
the waist and yoke. This is done in
heavy white silk. Talfeta is managed

groups of fine tucks. 1t is attached to
