The land of the negligee is the land
of perpetual summer that may be found
within four walls inclosing a steam
heating apparatus, or in other walls
that look out upon summer skies. The
negligee is no respecter of climates !;
it insists upon being colorful and flow
erful and enchantingly suggestive of
spring zephyrs and garden paths,
whatever its environment. 1t is an in
spiration, an invitation to leisure and
idle hours, happy change from or
binary work-a-day clothes. Every
woman should do herself a kindness
by adopting a pretty negligee as
playmate. 1t will put her in a pleas
ant frame Of mind.
Usually these fanciful garments are
made Of sheer and soft materials as
lace, georgette, chiffon and fine mulls,
that float about the figure no more
burdensome than the air and not very
"long" on protection. Crepe de chine
and very thin wash silks make negli-
gees a little bit heavier and equally
soft and becoming. The same gay.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
ton is the least expensive meth
cd of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing, all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn chat appears to be sound
does not always terminate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities Of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
Of good feed.
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
replants are present.

The blouse pictured is in the slip
over style, but it fastens on the Shout
der. A panel Of the dark georgette
at the back and front is split into two
panels at its lower half and serves as
background for the thread en-
broidery. The sleeves have deep cuffs
of the dark georgette and flare at
the bottom finished with band of the
dark crepe. A pretty finish for the
round neck is made by twisting the
light and dark embroidery silk to-
gether in a rope of which loops and
ends are made and placed at the front
of the neck.
It will be noticed that the belt Of
the skirt worn with this blouse sets be-
low the normal waistline and is fitted
about the figure. This gives a new
long waist which appears to be max
ing Roadway as feature Of spring

Back to Meadowlands!

I must go forth to the fields again
Where the meadow grass Is rife
And q little ease from strife.
And q colts neigh and the winds song.
And the grass blades shaking,
And low note from a birds throat,
And pink dawn breaking.
Wherein the versemaker, in other
years. and out of the desire of his
heart, pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers in the
good, peaceful year Of 1919. The strife
is passed. The calmness is come. And
now the call is for return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops to meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming is
to be restored to peace-time basis,
the United States department of agri-
culture says it seems wise that many
of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the armistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
feeds, but with an urgent demand for
meat animals, in the production Of
which feeds and pasturage are essen
tial.
The department of agriculture, Of
course, does not urge abandonment Of
profitable grain farming, but it points
out, In its survey Of the 1919 situation,
that the sacrifice Of grass lands and
the abandonment of rotation systems
in response to the world demand for
more cereals has resulted in a deple-
ton of fertility which must be restored
by the re-establishment of rotations,
pastures, meadows, leguminous crops,
and live stock.

fallen into disrepute, and at the pres

all our own mixtures. For scratci.
food we use, by measure, two parts Oh
cracked corn, three parts whole oats'
clipped, of the small grain variety
and one part wheat. With this we give
all the sprouted oats they will eat.
Then for dry mash we mix one part
corn meal, two parts ground oats, two
parts mill feed and a little charcoal,
and in summer, when not feeding fresh
bone. we mix one-half part meat scrap
of our own making. In winter we iced
green bone and meat and use no scrap,

Our Chicks
4 Our chicks come from hens two
wears old-we breed from no other,
and these hens are fed the same ra-
ton as that of our laying pens, forced
for eggs to the limit. Most OF our
brother poultrymen say that this is
a mistake; that the eggs will not be
as fertile. If this is the case, you are
!. the winner, for this reason: This egg
forcing faculty is instilled into the
chicks, and besides, you have a chick
whose parents are fed naturally, get
. ting all the animal food they require
, and this produces a normal, contentet

By his decisive victory over Ritchie
at the 1st Regiment Armory at Newark
Monday night Benny leonard, the light
weight champion, has made himself a
sort of young Alexander of the ring
with no more logical contenders" to
conquer. Before the pout with Ritchie
he clearly had demonstrated his super
iority over all of the lightweights.
Richie was not lightweight, but he
was the nearest thing to one and gave
the lightweight champion better batr
tie than any of the ligntweights could
put up.
The next illogical match" for Leonard
would be bout with Jack Britton, the
welterweight champion. In such bout
the lightweight title holder would have
to give away about seven pounds, but
it would be fair risk, with the pros
pect of emulating Robert Fitzsimmons
and holding two titles.
Right now the crop of lightweights
is deplorably short. There are only
two or three that would draw cor
poral's guard in bout with Leonard.
Dundee and yelling perhaps are the
best two in sight. Neither one would
be conceded to have had even
the chance that Richie was supposed
to have had before Monday night. Con-
sequently. it seems up to Leonard to
step up out Of his class.
Ritchie's showing Monday night was
remarkable for boxer who practically
had been out of the ring game for five
years. He did not seem to have the
stamina that was his when he won the

the railroad company will probably run
special train from this city to Shell

of going there to automobile or trolley.
The referee and starter will be
