FARM NOTES.
—The young trees should be cut back
about one-third of the new growth. This
is a good time to do that work.
it is the finer the flavor. Extracted
is much easier kept
kept in tight cases.
—Wood ashes may be applied at the
rate of 25 to 50 bushels, 1000 to 2000
pounds, to the acre. One ton of good
wood ashes will contain about 140 pounds
of potash and 40 Jounds of phosphoric
acid. Spring is the best time to apply the
ashes.
—The strawberry ts should be cov-
ered—best with sawdust, as it need not
. If this cannot
be obtained, leaves will do, lightly scat-
tered over and held in place with the
clippings from old raspberry canes or
be removed in the spring
small brush.
—Mulching is a law in horticulture,
cannot do too much of it. When planting
trees or shrubs they should be mulched,
preferably with coal ashes. Leaves and
i thereis a sprinkle
of poison put in to keep the mice from
straw will do,
doing mischief.
—It is agood plan to hill up the cur®
bushes and
leave the mounds through the winter,
ided they are taken down in Spring.
ii lift the
rant bushes and
0 allow them to remain wil
roots too high, and gradually the plants
will be worked out of the soil.
—The potash in ashes exists in a read-
is thus immediately
available for plant food. Ashes also con-
tain a little magnesia and a considerable
amount of carbonate of lime, which is of
ily soluble form, and
some importance because of its effect i
improving the texture of heavy soils.
—An old farm is not necessarily a poor
farm. There are farms in Europe that
have been cultivated for 150 years and
they are producing larger crops than
when first brought under cultivation.
Old farms should be rich farms, because
there is ample time building them up.
—Sifted coal ashes absorb liquids, fix
volatile ammonia, prevent offensive odors
and are valuable as absorbents under hen
Wood ashes should
roosts or in stables.
not be placed under hen roosts nor i
stables, because potash liberates the ma-
nure and the ashes as fertilizer is de-
teriorated.
—Concerning the use of wood ashes as
fertilizer, Professor A. M. Ten Eyck says
an average sample of unleached wood
ashes contains 7 per cent. potash and
per cent. of phosphoric acid, which at
current retail prices of these plant foods
makes wood ashes worth about 5 cents
per 100 pounds, or $9 per ton.
—Those who have not begun the com-
post system should begin it at once. Ac-
cumulate all the coal ashes, old .rubbish,
of dirt, old

ient places about the farm where such
piles can be built up in layers with barn-
yard manure. Turn this over later in
the fall or early winter, and distribute
autumn leaves, stray heal
sod, old mortar and lime.

Then every coat and skirt should have
a blouse to match them in color. Of sat-
in, net, or chiffon with trimmings of vel-
vet and cut bands of the material, these
are capable of making a one-piece gown.
The fashion for coats is about divided
into two parts this year: There is a sin-
gle-breasted affair that buttons from waist
to neck, and there is the other kind that
fastens to the bust and is finished with

al. We have adopted the thin waist with
its little turnover collar or transparent
chemisette as a steady, everyday gar-
ment.
The woman who wears a fur piece close
against her neck does not have to think
twice about selecting a coat that opens to
the bust. She can wear any kind of
blouse, for the fur gives sufficient warmth;
but the majority of women object to fur
against the neck. It overheats a tender
rt of the body, and almost invariably
eads to colds and throat trouble. Just
what can be done is the question most
women are asking of each other.
The best idea has been brought out in
French coats, and is being copied here by
n
things at home. A wide bias band of cor-
duroy or velveteen is doubled and inter-
lined if one wishes extreme warmth. The

good pattern.
This little affair is then glove clamped
into the coat under the collar against the
cloth. It is attached again at the collar-
bone. This keeps it taut and smooth.
Where it crosses just below the collar of
the blouse it is caught with a scarf pin.
This protects the chest and does not
overheat the throat. If the weather be-
comes mild these scarfs can be lifted from
the coat without any trouble. Another
int in its favor is that a woman can
ve three or four made for one suit, so
that she can vary the color scheme as she
pleases.
