Two Chic Black Frocks.

Very new is q frock Of fine black silk
twill. with a gilet Of yellow muslin
edged all about with fluted muslin ruff
tles and girdled with black silk. A
passing breeze visibly stirs the f1uted
yellow rufles on the edge Of a scanty
yellow muslin p%etticoat, which was
never meant, one feels sure, to be en-
tirely hidden by the outer skirt Of
black, says Vogue.
A black silk frock, very straight and
slim, is encircled with a narrow belt of
gray pique. A narrow band of gray
pique finishes the lower edge OF the
skirt and a gray pique collar crosses
the shoulders in the back; this mr.
rangement allows but very little Of the
collar to be visible In front. A tri-
angular patch pocket Is placed on each
side Of the skirt, and the top Of the
pocket stands out, cuplike. from the
skirt. The inverted apex Of the gray
triangle is weighted with a gray tas-
sci. This model is also very pretty In
black liberty satin with blue or be-
gonia red organdie SUBSTITUTED for the
gray pique.

quently more than they can deyour.
Every year these insects, working gen.
orally throughout the United States,
have destroyed hundreds of thousands
Of dollars worth of crops. BY the
timely application of remedies, how
ever, they readily can be controlled.
even over considerable areas. The
usual method of control is by the use
Of poisoned bats.
Take q bushel of dry bran, add one
pound of white arsenic or paris green,
and mix it thoroughly into mash with
eight gallons of water in which has
been stirred half a gallon Of sorghum
or other cheap molasses. (Arsenic
and paris green are deadly poisons.
Handle them with great care.) This
amount will be sufficient for the treat
ment of about four or five acres OF
cultivated crops. After the mash has
stood for several hours, scatter 1t, in
Jumps about the size of q marble, over
the fields where the injury is beginning
to appear and about the bases Of the
plants set out. Apply late In the day
so as to place the poison about the
plants before night, which is the time
when the cutworms are active. Apply
a second time, if necessary. keeT
children, live stock and chickens away
from this bait.

UTILIZE ALL LOAFING ACRES
Many Patches on Farm That Do Not
Produce Enough to Pay for Taxes,
Let Alone Fencing.

Nearly every year there are a mum.
Der Of acres on the farm that are
loafers, that do not contribute enough
to the products Of the farm to pay for
taxes, let alone fencing. The first
thing to do with these is to drain
them.
Others are stony or gravelly por
tons which do not and will not pro-
duce sufficient crops to pay for cult
vntion; and the proper thing to DO
with these is to sow them to tame
grasses, cover them over with barn
yard manure, and let them stay In
grass. Sometimes a field has been
farmed so long that It has ceased to
be profitable. and the Only thing to
do with this Is to put 1t down In
tame grass and apply manure heavily.
There are frequently acres on the
farm that are out Of the way, that
could better be planted to timber OF
some kind suitable to the neighbor-
hood. Sometimes there are corners
in a field cut off by a stream, or SO IN
conveniently located that they cannot
be farmed to advantage. The time has
now come when we q put these In
timber.

MANY HATS OF WASH FABRICS
Bingham Used by MiIIiners in Addition
to Such Materials as Linen,
Satin and Crepe.

Hats Of all kinds are fascinating
this summer. Big and little, dressy
and informal, they seem to have re-
ceived especially delightful treatment,
and it is q homely woman who cannot
this season find q hat in which she
will look well.
One Of the most interesting groups
in the general melange Of charming
things Is that Of the fabric hats. To
be sure we've always had them|hafs
OF linen, hats Of satin, hats OF crepe,
etc, but we've never had such q wealth
of them and surely never were they as
a whole so delectable. And then
we've never made such q feature OF
wash fabrics in hatdom, writes a fash
ion authority.
One is even safe In saying that the
milliners are using wash fabrics this
season that have not before been used
for grownups. There are those plaid
Bingham hats, for example. When
have we seen their like before? And
yet now that we have them we Won
der that the milliners, resourceful be-
ings that they are, are SO late in think
ing Of them.

SAVE DR0PPINGS FROM HENS
When Properly Preserved, m Excel.
lent Fertilizer, Nearly Equal
to Bone, 10 Secured.

The droppings of granted hens,
properly preserved, is an excellent ma
nure, nearly equal to q good bone fer
tillzer. The droppings should be
swept up each morning and packed In
barrels between layers Of sifted earth.
To prevent loss Of ammonia, sprinkle
each layer with land plaster OF kainit.
The droppings from 100 hens per
night will weigh about eight pounds.
When mixed with absorbents, such as
plaster or sawdust or loan, hen mo
nure is a one-sided heterogeneous fer
tilizer. As usually managed, most of
the nitrogen passes off in the air. Be-
cause of its high quantity of nitrogen,
it should be used in connection with
some good bone fertilizer rich in phos-
phoric acid and potash.

YOUNG GIRLS DAY
Leading Dressmakers Devoting
Much Attention to Her Needs.
New Three.Pjece Costume Of Navy
Blue Serge and Foulard Has an
Eminently Youthful Air.

The leading dressmakers and tailors
are devoting a great deal Of attention
to the special needs Of young girls, and
very specially the girls of America.
The day of the young married woman

DON'T NEGLECT BROOD MARES
Years Efforts May Be Lost by lnatten-
ton at Foaling Time-Provide
Box Stalls.

A years effort may be lost by neg
lecting brood mares ut foaling time. In
view of the time which 1t takes to pro-
duce a foal, one cur Ill afford not to
give the necessary attention to the AMI
mails. A little care for q few nights
will often save the entire years work.
f. A. Trowbridge, professor Of animal
industry in the Missouri College of Ag-
riculture, offers the following sugges-
lions concerning the care Of mares at
foaling time:
In foal mares may be worked to
within two or three days of fonling.
Should work cease before that time,
rations should be decreased materially.
Rations should consist of bran, oats
and other laxative foods.
In foal mares should be provided
with box stalls, If possible, some time
before they foal. These stalls should
be kept clean and properly disinfected.
AS o after birth as possible. the
fonl's navel should be tied and disin-
fected with iodine or some other good
d~isinfectant. Careful attention should
be given to see that the foal's digestive
apparatus and kidneys are in working
order within "a hours after birth.
Mares, after foaling, should be given
water. not too cold and not In too large
quantity. The ration for two or three
days should be comparatively light,
and similar in nature to that fed be-
fore foaling. After normal conditions
seem to have been established, the re-
ton may be increased.
