The garden should always be cleaned
up in the autumn as Don as the crops
are out of the way, and the area seeded
to some green crop such as winter oats
or rye. If this has not been done the
dead vines, cabbage stalks and other
refuse should be gathered at once and
burned. This material is liable to har-

Provide Good Drainage.
If the area in the garden is not well
drained this should be corrected by u.s.

feet, or by open bitches, or by bedding
up the soil, leaving the space between
the beds for drains.

How Glass Industry Shifted.

The ancient Roman glass works
shipped to all parts of the civilized
world; and specimens of their produc-
tons are today found throughout Eu<
rope, and even In Ireland. When
Rome commenced to decline and her
great people fled to Byzantium, they
took with them their glass industries,
and Constantinople became the great
est glass manufacturing city in the
world. This prestige it held up to the
tenth or eleventh century, and when
1t entered upon its decline and fall the
~glassblowers fled to Venice and there
established what afterward grew into
the celebrated Venetian glassware.

Here is a group of suits for spring
that even the Impractical eye-at a
glance-will perceive to be quite I'M
like the suits of yesterday. Their de-
signers have wandered into green
fields and pastures new, gathering
ideas, and are displaying the results
of their wanderings now in suits that
have many interesting style features.
They appear to have centered atten-
ton on coats and to have agreed that
skirts shall be plain, hang straight, or
show a little narrowing toward the
bottom, and reach at least to the shoe
top.
In coats the most noticeable limo
walton is the uneven line at the bottom
of the coat skirt. There Is only an
occasional coat that is even at the bot
tom edge, but this variety is good
style always. Another new feature in
coats is the fitted-in lines at the back,
which are achieved by new methods of
cutting and shaping, that almost vie
with semiftted models in point of num-
bers. There are many coats that fail
to close at the front, and some whose
only closing point is at the waistline.
These open models are worn with light
waistcoats in some cases, or over
blouses that are gfimpsed to the waist.
At the left of the picture a very
graceful and clever coat has pointed

fronts and its skirt is set on to a
double-breasted body ending in a belt
across the front. There is a little
ripple In the skirt of the coat, which
slopes upward from the front and
across the back. Some models of this
kind are very short at the back. The
collar and cuffs are of satin with white
polka dots and the skirt narrows to.
ward the hem.
At the right of the picture the suit
of serge maintains more mannish lines,
but reverses the order of things shown
in the other suit. Its coat slopes down
in a curved line across the back, and
Is one of the longest models shown.
1t is worn over a low-cut vest of white
wash satin and has a satin %overcollar.
The edges are bound with narrow silk
braid and strips of this braid, with
two bone buttons finish the cuff. Tho
skirt is plain and hangs almost
straight.
Little sketches elsewhere in the pic
ture reveal the diversity of the new
styles. Assortments are so wide in
suits that every woman may have the
satisfaction of satisfying her own style
and preferences when she makes a Sc
lection.

little wet. 1t is particularly desirable
to get the blowing done before freez-
ing weather is past, as the alternate
freezing and thawing kills alternating
insects, as well as loosening up the
soil, breaking down clods and making
the soil generally more loose and fri
able. Soil that has been plowed or
spaded, moreover, will dry out and
so treated.

slaked lime as soon as the blowing is
done. The lime should be applied at
this time so as to become thoroughly
mixed with the soil before the manure
is applied. Manure and lime should
not be applied at the same time, as the
lime will cause loss of the nitrogen in
the manure
To produce satisfactory crops of veg
etables the soil must be kept in a high
state of fertility. 1t is an excellent plan
to apply stable anu to the freshly
plowed or spaded soil, this to be work
ed in either with a disk harrow, or in
cases where hand labor is employed,
with a hoe or rake. This should be-
followed later on by a surface coat of
well-rotted manure, applied about the
time the crops are planted.

PLACE CONFIDENCE IN SOIL
Land VIII Do Just What Farmer VIII
Let 1t in Way of Producing
Various Crops.

Confidence in the soil means much
for good farming. If you believe your
soil will respond to good tillage you
are apt to trust 1t that far. If you
believe your soil will pay for the ex-
ira expense you are likely to make
greater investment. But after all it
is self-confidence, for the soil will be
just what you let it in the way of pro-
duction.
