Nothing equals plenty of stable or
yard manure to make garden plot
produce the best crops. Garden spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture mean by this not
merely q meager scattering over the
surface, but an application about two
inches thick. 1t should be applied In
the fall to form protecting cover dur
ing the winter. If this is done, the
manure should be turned under as
early in the spring as possible, but any
material too rough to turn under
should be piled in a compost heap to
rot. Only well-rotted manure should
be applied in the spring as top dress
ing After the land has been plowed,
scatter the rOtted manure over the
surface and work II in with the har-
row. Ii the garden is spaded the ma
nure should be worked In with spad

is one measuring about 43h feet by
100 feet, apply from one to two tons
two lOads--in the fall. If truck Is
used for hauling one load generally
will be sufficient. If corresponding
amount Is piled up In the autumn with
a little sod or soil mixed with II, and
worked over once or twice during the
winter, 1t will give a good supply of
compost for use as spring top dress
ing.
Where this amount of manure Is
used very little chemical fertilizer Is
needed. However, manure very often
does not have sufficient quantity of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash in
1t, and it may be desirable to add
commercial fertilizers containing 2 or
per cent nitrogen, 8 or ~ per cent
phosphoric acid and 3 to per cent
potash, at the rate of 100 pounds on
a tenth-acre garden. This also can be
spread broadcast and worked into the
soil when the land is being pulverized
ready for planting.

"Green-Manure" Crops.

Another way to improve garden soil
Is the use Of "green-manure" crops,
such as clovers. rye, alfalfa, barley,
and, In fact, almost anything which
will grow upon the land during the fall
and winter. The clovers, and the other
closely related plants known as
legumes, which have the power of gath
ering the free nitrogen from the air
und storing 1t up in the soil are the
most desirable. Green-manure crops
should be turned under in early spring.

IN THE pursuit of happiness women
Il have been going earnestly and in
dustriously in quest Of new suits
for what is Easter without the inspira-
ton of new and gladstone apparel?
The quest has reached the acute stage
during the present week and mer-
chants know what style ideas have
proved most successful. To begin
with the longer skirt is finally and
emphatically approved by fashionables
skirts are longer by many inches,
the rule being eight or even six inches
from the floor. Also they are plain.
Poiret twill, tricotine and serge are

Orative features appear on coats,
which are made In at least three dis
tinct styles including the box coat,
the straight line beted coat and the
semi-ftted models.
In the matter of decorations braids
may come and beads may 60 but en-
broideries go on forever, apparently.
A few models reveal beaded decora-
lions, many are trimmed with fat
bralds or ribbon, but still greater
numbers are either embroidered or

of ten these decorations are in the
same color as the suit but there are
exceptions to all rules, and the new
suits present models with a contrast
ing color or black used with the match
ing color. There are occasional models
in which short coats are deliberately
embroidered with many colors
