GROW
SWEET POTATOES

The sweet potatoe thrives best in
the South, as it is q tropical plant.
The plants are started in hotbeds 10y
bedding potatoes in sand and allow.
ing them to sprout. The plants are
broken of the parent potato as soon
as they have formed a few leaves
and a root system Of their own, and
fas soon as the ground in the. open4ii
well warmed up. This will: be one
month after the date Of the last kill,
ing frost.
Sweet potatoes are a h~eatlovine
plant, and can not Withstand cool
weather. In setting them in the
open, the usual method is to throw
the soil up in ridges about a feet
apart. The plants are set in q 70"
on. top of these ridges some II OF
IA Mches aPafI
Sweet potatoes. thrive best IN a
sandy soil that is we'll fertilized
throughout. It is a good plan to
open burrows where the row is to
be-, fill these burrows with manure
and turn the soil back on topic Of the
manure. This should be thoroughly
mixed with a shovel or cultivator'
as too much manure in one spot rn-
der the hole will produce a large
growth Of vines at the expense OF
the potatoes. g..
Sweet potatoes may be dug at
any time after they become large
enough to use, but improve in equ-
atty as they approach maturity.
They should be dug % soon a. the
vines are killed by frost.-U- 8. De-

HOW TO GROW TOMATOES.

The tomato is n Of the most
satisfactory Of all the garden crops
and one that isafound in practically
every vegetable garden, No matter
how small. the. garden space avail
able, it is always advisable to have
a few tomato vines.
Tomatoes will grow IN almost any
good soil, but the soil should not be
too high in heterogeneous matter, as
this will cause the plants to go to
vine, rather than, to fruit. The
plants should be started in the win
dow box or in the hotbed some six
weekslbefore the time ato9set thern.in
the open. For best results they
should, be. transplapted at least once
It is possible to secure, atcrop much
sooner by carefully growing the
plants indoors in pots and trans
planting to the open ground as soon
Is conditions permit, They should
not be set in the open until about
two weeks after the last killing
frost. If set sooner than this, they
should in all cases be protected from
frost with q muslin cover or with
boxes covered with glass errb by other
means. T..
The pot-grown plants are espeei-
ally desirable, q they may be
brought TO thevb1oomingt period by
the time it is warmNenough to plant
them in the garden. II the plants
are not TO be trained, but allowed to
lie on tho ground, they? should be
set about44 feet apart ,eachkway. II

WEAKNESS and distaste, then suddenly
revert to IL.
Gheckerboard Coats With String Belts.
Checks may become commonplace
by the middle of October under this
schedule, and they may return to ia
VoF by the first of December. This
much, howeYs, is true and wise; that
the women who INDUCED In suits and
coats of cheekerboard design, must,
at all hazards, keep them in good con-
dition, even If they tire of them.
One must gamble on their chance
of coming back into first place. We
have seen so much of this elimina-
ton and restoration OF certain fash
ions, thruout the last five years, that
the wary ones discard nothing until it
Is worn out.
For instance, If a woman kept her
narrow skirts of three and a half
years ago, she could have worn them
all summer without a particle of
change.
Checked coats were in the first of
style a few years ago, and women who
owned them are now joyfully pulling
them out of the moth balls, shaking
them In the sunshine, and revealing
themselves as persons clad in the new
est apparel.
There is no difference between the
designs and colorations of today and
those of yesterday. Even brown and
yellow checks are worn; one does not
have to stick to the traditional black
and white combination.
There is new design in buff end
blue which, by the way, IL not only
used for top coats, but for suits that
carry deep waistcoat Of either the
blue 'or the buff.
Using American Sealskin,
The coat in the sketch shows the
newest kind adopted by women who
are dressed for cool days. Those who
advocate 1t, say that it has infinite
superiority over top coats in solid COL
ors because it does not show either
dust or spots as much. 1t is trimmed
with sealskin, because the trend of
fashion is toward this particular
American peltry. There are immense
gauntlet cuffs, and a high, loose collar
of it attached to the coat, which, by
the way, is double-breasted in q new
way The top part laps well over on
the chest. but II is cut away to a mere
point at tn waistline. The string belt
Is of the material.
The designers do not seem to get
away from this kind OF girdle. 1t at
taches itself to almost every garment
of cloth that is turned out by the best
tailors and dressmakers It is SUP
posed to be taken from the American
Indian string OF beads. which has been
worn by our first families since the
Dark Ages"
One of the French designers used
the genuine string of woven beads in q
diamond design on a one-piece frock
of gahardine, but the fashion soon
died down until 1t was revived in this
sedate manner on the June clothes.
These string belts are made out OF
q bias strip of the material, without
padding or oFnamentation. They are
only an inch wide; ana long enough to
loop and hang In trent.
