of fertilizer because it not only adds available plant food but also improves | the physical texture of the soil. It tends to tighten heavy soil and to make sandy soil hold more water. Stable manure contains easily avail. able plant food. both organic and min. eral, and as 1t decays in the soil hastens the liberation of other plant food. Green manure is an excellent substitute for stable manure, and is essential to good farming where little or no live stock is kept. Where stable manure is not available, green manure must be used to get results Not merely stubble but the entire green crop must be plowed under to make a green manure crop good substitute for stable manure. In the case of a legume manure crop the seed should be saved, but all the rest of the crop should be returned to the land. (For fuller details on soils, see Farmers Bulletins 245 and 406)
 CD Correct soil acidity with lime.- Lime is the one thing most needed by the average rundown soil It is per. haps safe to say that more poor crops are due to sour soil than to lack of plant food. Certainly most of the fail
 ures of clover and other legumes are | due to soil acidity. On our soils lime is needed to neutralize the acid. If your sod fields show patches of red sorrel. moss, poverty grass, and the like, scanty or sour-tasting vegetation, and if your legume crops fail to re- spond readily to application of stable manure, try lime.
 (S) Use phosphates when needed.- Phosphorus, next to lime, Is the min- eral plant food probably most needed by the average unproductive soil. There are three forms of phosphorus in common use-finely ground rock phosphate (fioats). acid phosphate and steamed bone meal.
 When soil contains an ample supply Of organic matter and the object in buying phosphorus is to increase the supply of this element in the soil at the lowest possible cost, this can he done by purchasing finely ground rock phosphate. On the other hand, if the supply of organic matter in the soil Is limited or you are anxious to get quick returns from the phosphorus, 1t IS advisable. to purchase either acid phosphate or steamed bone meal. AS ton of rock phosphate contains gen. erally about 250 pounds of phosphorus. when sold at the average market price the phosphorus in it will cost the farmer about three cents a pound. Acid phosphate generally contains about 125 pounds of phosphorus to the ton and steamed bone meal about 25O pounds to the ton, and when sold at the average price the phosphorus in either of these forms generally costs from ten to twelve cents a pound.

nel, cotton corduroy, which is much worn-Chinese and Japanese printed silks, American wash silks, Japanese cotton crepes, and some of the Eng fish chintzes. For the summer, the thin silks and crepes and dainty lawns, with ruffied edges make up charming dressing sacques.
 The sault-de-lit Is more elaborate than a dressing sacque and Is made of lingerie, delicate silks. and any soft, fine cotton weaves, trimmed with lace and ribbon. It is worn over the low-neck nightie and also when sipping tea in bed of morning. The sault-de-lit is generally cut shorter than the dressing sacque
 When this design is used as a neg. lige for informal reception of woman guests and for the quiet dinner, before the opera, there should be sash, or belt of ribbon, worn around the waist, and the sacque should be of Chinese or Japanese-printed silk, or chiffon, or lace, all very much trimmed and col orful.-Washington Star.

 WHO RUN HOPS
To End Selling Liquor at Dances Conducted For
 Private Purposes.

f'The death knell has been sounded for Get Rich Quick Wallingfords who have been picking up a piece of change by promoting dances at which liquor is sold in violation of the excise law declares John c. Stanley, president of the police board, today.
 Only small fines were meted out this morning in the city court in such eases. Members of the colored I. O. O. F., who were caught in raid yeS- terday escaped lightly.
 Captain John H. Began and Police men Clifford N. Gorgas and Herbert Higgins made a visit to the co1ored I. and Meadow street at 1O30 Saturday night. Liquor was for sale and there was no license. Nichola Silva and Morris Silva, a44 Charles street, were arrested. They promoted the affair. Nicholo is the Portuguese interpreter in the city court. They were each fined S10 and costs which they paid.
 President John c. Stanley, Connnais- sioner George c. Peet and County Commissioner Frank c. Ballard were occupied by the St. Patricks T. L. & association many years ago. A Southern dance was in progress at the time of the raid. The dancers were not moletsed and the commissioners seemed to enjoy it for a short time.

Says Borino Has
 Been In New York

Is Ralph Borino in New York city? This question is one which is agitating the police department of this city to- day following a publication in a Phila- delphia paper, La Opinione,' which states that the fugitive from justice has been seen in that city by Bridge port people. The article further inti- mates that Pellegrino Aurillio, saloon keeper of the East Side, whose bonds for $1,500 were forfeited upon the non-appearance of Borino in court, is of the belief that Borino is within easy reach of the New Y ork police if those authorities will act in his apprehen- sion.
 The local police declare that as soon as definite information is ascertained regarding Borino's whereabouts he will be brought back to Bridgeport. Borino is wanted a bond jumper i the superior court where he is charg- ed with living upon the earnings of diSsolute women.
