have had the good luck to have
lovely bead bag knitted for me
and it has turned out such a. sue
cess that I want you who knit to
have the instructions. Here they
are:
Cast on sixty stitches, knit back
and forth. Knit three, slip one bead.
repeat this to the end, repeat this
for four rows-knit three, slip two
beads, repeat this for four rows
knit three, slip three beads for five
rows-knit three, slip four beads for
five rows-knit three, slip six
beads five rows-knit three slip six
beads for six rows-knit three, slip
seven beads for seven rows-knit
three, slip eight beads for sixteen
rows-then decrease in the same
proportion that you have increased
When you have put on your last
row Of knit three, slip one bead,
knit two rows plain. Sew up your
bag on the sides and then crochet
on one bead with each stitch. You
will see that this makes a band OF
solid beading. Line your bag with
soft material, preferably satin.
Crochet straps to each group of
three plain stitches, bead these
straps any way desired, they should
be- about two inches long, fasten
back to make loop, run cord through
these to draw up bag.
In threading the beads use a reg
ular beading needle and thread one
half of bunch of beads at time,
slipping the beads on the thread on
the spool, making Jennings when this
amount is used up at the end of the
needles.
1t takes about five dollars worth
of material, not including the scrap
of satin for lining, and, the bags
sell in New York stores for $500.
Have taken up good bit of your
space, but felt that you would be in
terested.
Our friendly exchange grows
apace, I am going to give the rest
of our space today to these requests.

phoric acid and 8 per cent potash.
Part of the fertilizer may be put
under the drill row at the time of
planting. The balance may be used
as application after cultiva-
ton begins.
Broom corn IS valuable for its
brush. The seed has some nutritive
value. The stalks are dry and fibrous
and are of little value for feed pur-
poses. In most instances, after the
brush are pulled off, the stalks are
left in the field and ployed under
for the enrichment of the land. One
of the best varieties to cultivate is
known as the illinois Standard"
1t grows from ten to twelve feet
high and yields large percentage
of brush of good length and
strength.
Fleas are difficult to control and
eradicate because of the rapidity
with which they move from place
to place. Animals infested with them
can be best freed of this pest by
means of tar soap. You may also
use creolin for this purpose in the
proportion of one part to fifty parts
of water. Lather the animals
thoroughly and completely. Leave
the soap on for ten minutes and
then wash it off. Thoroughly white
wash the premises. Cleaning up all
litter and trash and completely
spraying the ground and every
crack and crevice in and about the
building with any of the coal tar
preparations made up in the
strength of one part to fifty parts
Of water should enable you control
this pest. It may take some time
and patience to accomplish this end,
but it surely can be done.
Merits of Leading Varieties of
Cotton -
C. n. NJ, Atlanta, Ga, writes:
What is your opinion of the va
riety known as "Over the Top?
What other varieties of cotton
would you recommend?
In the test made on our demon
stration fields, -the-Top stood
twenty second. 1t proved to be re-
latively early variety of cotton,
making a very good outturn Of seed
on the first picking, which was com.
pleted September 9Th. The second
picking was very good and was
completed September Goth. Alto
gether, it made a total yield of
,46S pounds of seed cotton. It
classed as 1piddling. The staple was
Of fair quality as to length. 1t took
seventy-two. bolls to make a pound
of seed cotton. 1t yielded, however,
only % per cent of lint, which must
be regarded as rather low. Over-the-
Top, as you will readily see, proved
with us to be an early variety. In
this respect, it compares very favor
ably with Trice. We think, however,
that it does not possess. as desir-
able qualities as College No. 1, Wan
namakeY Cleveland Piedmont Cleve-
land, Cooks and Texas Burr. In
view of the fact that these varie-
ties stood well through a series of
years, we have been inclined to
recommend them as being the most
desirable strains for general cul-
tivation. We have not done this in
order to discriminate against any
variety, but to furnish the public
with the, best information at our
commando as a result of the inves-
legations we have made up to the
present time.
