largely to its popularity.

In the park and on the roads lead

with leather and more ornate dresses
for fair days have suddenly become
plentiful.

as to leave no openin g at the throat,

of some Dlain color combined with
fancy silk. Fur instance, one of these
waists is of bine-striped material, the
alternating stripe being of white, cov
ered with hair lines of black. To
matob. these lines there is the collar
with little bow, the cuffs, and a
graduated box plait of black. Other
delioate silks, showing considerable
white, have the collar, tie and bos
plait or white. This is pretty, but not
as praotical, white the black is both
serviceable and stylish. This way of
making waists will bo found most eco
nomical in utilizing old materials.
Maw Colflare Ornament.
The blaok velvet bow for evening
coiffure has a powerful rival in tho
new and very attractive artificial flower
arrangement. This consists of two or
three blossoms fastened to a shell hair
pin by a tiny pad of silk or satin rib
ben mntohing the color of the flower.
Large flowers promise to bo the most
popular. The orchid is certainly the
handsomest for this purpose, although

Advantage of 8iiiitia I'lelfl.
Wherever practicable or at all con
venient to have them so, it will be
found that fluids of a square shape,
or nearly so, are the most economical
in fenoing, und tho best, for sovoral
reasons. It takes less fence to enclose
a given area iu the form of a square
than any other shape, and next to tho
square comos tho oblong. By all
means let the corners of fluids have
tight anglos, iiuleiss there aro impor
tant topographical reasons for having
thoui otherwise. When a Held is
square thoro need be no short rows
in cultivating it, aud tho exact area of
tho field is easily calculated by the
number and distance of the rows. Thus
the faimor may know to a certainty
the quantity of seed and fertilizer
he is using to the acre, and how to
count the cost of plowing aud cultivat
ing any crop.
Also tho yield per acre, if ho will
weigh and measure. And if the whole
farm is laid off iu squares, there need
be no more guess work as to how
many acres the cultivable land con
tains. A farm looks better having
square-shaped fields, and roads are
placed to better advantage. It was a
wise provision of some of the States
to layoff the oounties in exaot squares,
and then divide the land into square
sections of CIO aoreo each. Thus all
farms in those States may have the
square form, whether containing the
whole section, or only one-half, one
fourth, or one-eighth thereof.
Thin Seeding.
A correspondent of the Now York
Tribune writes that having been in
formed by one whom he knew to be n
good farmer that he had planted wheat
sixteen inches between the rows and
threo inches apart in tho rows, ono
grain iu a place, and had harvosled
eighty-four bushels to the acre, he
planted a small plot to wheat on Sep
tember 22, .1898, ou hard clay soil
that was manured in the spring and
plauted to etrawborries. Tho plant

heads to the hill in the rows plauted
ono grain to tho hill wus eightceu
largo heads. The largest unrulier of
heads to a biuglo grain was thirty,
which gave a yield of 2097 grains.
The row with the two trains to tho
hill gavo un average of nineteen heads
to the hill. Tho greatest yield was
thirty-six heads to tho hill, which
gave a yiold of 2035 grains sixty
two less than the one grain hill. The
yield was at the rate of 100 bushels to
the acre, providing tho planting was
twelve by nix iuohes. I planted a

Ilie fc'eertlliiK Apple.
Araon" apple growers a sharp con
troversy haa beeu csrriod ou for years
ns to wholhir it is better to improve
cur lint of available varieties by im
porting fro.n foreign eouutries or de
ve'opin new needling apples. Dis
eouragcuioiits are found ou both aides.
A very luro pioporlion of the apples
brought from foreign countries have
proved o." no vslno aft or having beeu
fruited la hn ouuntry for a dozen
years, whiio of tho seedliug a thou
sand variation bar proved not worth
tho growing to every one thut has
proved good eauU(,H to bo propagated
by graitiugii.
Hi Bnt, howover discouraging the pro
duction of ocedlings way be, it is true
that all tho prioress that has beeu
made iunpples, Icking the world as a
wbnlo, U through seedlings. We must
not forget that every good apple wo
have now wr.u one of a multitude of
seedlint-s. Tt is, of oonrse, recognized
thut the woik of produoiug new varie
ties iu this way ia very, very slow.
The man thut plauta 10,000 seeds must
handle s id care for 10,000 trees, lie
must not ouly tske them out of the
seedling rows and transplant them iu
. to ground with more space, but he
i must sometimes replant tbetn. Be
sides that he must give them fair at
tention aud cultivation. The Ground
must be kept fertile and the trees
must bo sprayed. The borers must
be kept off and the canker worms must
be prevented from stripping the trees
of their foliage. The grower may
have to wait ten years for results, as
it is a known fact that a valuable va
riety might bo late in coming into bear
ing. After years of waiting for fruit he
may find that not one of the 10,000
trees is superior in anything to fruit
now being grown.
Huoh must be the experience of
those that labor for the production of
new and valuable varieties. Tho man
that begins the work knows that the
chances are that he will never reap
the benefit of his toil, for even if ho
should develop a flno variety, years
must elapse before he will be able to
get anything from it. Ha realizes
that he will have to cat thousands of
scious from that good tree, and, graft
other trees, aud that he must -then
wait a few years more till they are fit
to place on the market.
Whon all that is accomplished, he
still has tho question of advertising to
face, and this means expenditure of
labor and cash. But, hard as the way
is, it is the surest way to gut new
fruits. Instead of one man planting
10,000 seeds, a good many men should
each plant a few seeds, and thus dis
tribute tho burden over many shoul
ders. Farm, Field nut! Fireside.

Probably thoro is altogether too
ranch dependence upon the advice of
others in tho poultry business for
some to succcod, and while it is wise
to road of all the experiences of those
who havo sucoeeded and failed, each
ono must hoe his own row. If wo
cannot profit by our own expeiience,
it is useless to expect success with
poultry. Others may guide us, but
we have got to learn our losaon and
make its application. Depend npou
your own exertions, observation and
intelligence, and then supplement this
with the advice of those who have
anything to say. That is the ouly
true motto. I should say in regard
to breeds that eaoh one must not at
tempt to confine himself to one sim
ply upon the advice of others. Seloct
some of the half dozen most appro
priate breeds, and try your hand at
each. Then you will gradually find
out what onos you like the best and
can make tho most from.
But it is in the matter of feeding
tfiat this advice of depending upon
yourself and studying your surround
ings is the most applicable. There
are, of course, certain standard feeds
for chickens, such as corn, meal, and
grain generally, which evory one must
possess to a certain extent, but ont
Bide of this, cheap but offootive sub
stitutes must bo fouud. Clam and
oyster shells are all right for feeding
to poultry that is raised along the sua
ooast, but for a thousand miles inland
it would hardly pay to go into tho
market and' buy these shells. The
price would more than eat np the
profits obtained through their use.
But there may be green bone, lime
stone, pebbles and rooks that could
bo broken np fine, and the poultry
would obtain nearly as good results
from them. Those living near forosts
would find in the soil and leaves un
der the trees just the kind of dirt and
food that chickens would enjoy.
Proximity to large creameries en
ables some to utilize the skimmilk on
a largo scalo, whilo others would not
be able to do this without paying too
much for it. Small brooders ou the
outskirts of lnrgo cities can make con
tracts to receive the garbage and ref
use daily, which would more than
feed the poultry. At tho same time it
would give suoh varied diet that lit
tle else would bo needed. Eveu small
towns and villages have euongh such
refuse to support several large poultry
furins. It in more n matter of study
ing aud making tho most of surround
ing conditions and opportunities than
of buying and raisiug feed. Of course
crops must be raised systematically
for food, but the by-products of the
farm, tho house aud the city and for
est must bo utilized to their utmost.

! PHILIPPINE IGORROTES.
DURING THE CHASE OF ACUINALOO
THEY DID COOD SERVICE.
How Major Marnh and Hie Column of
Travel-Worn American Holdler Were
Welcomed to llamian AtolMHv or the
Native Utility or Vlfforon Kick.
TIIE Manila correspondent of
tho Cbioago Tribune writes
the following amusing no
count of the Igorrote natives
who hare been enlisted in our army
and who accompanied Major Maroh
during his pursuit of Aguinaldo:
Major March and his column of 100
travel-worn meu, acoompanied by
twioo as many Igorrote "sr adores,"
or burden beurers, reaohed Bagnau
at nightfall. The Major knew that
Aguinaldo had left the town several
hours beforo, but hoped to got some
information there -whioh would put
him on tho right track.
At Bagnau, which was nieroly a col
lection of huts on a steep, sloping
mountain side, hundreds of Igorrotos
were waiting to greet us.
As the column entered the town tho
Frcsideota gave a siguul with bis
cano and they burst into a lond shout
ing, "Viva Espanol! viva Espanoll"
The Major looked discouraged. Bo
foro he did anything elso he called up
tho Tresidenta andasolectcd chorus
of lusty lunged Igorrotes and taught
thorn to repeat after him, "Viva
Americanos) viva Americanos!" Tho
Igorrotes were willing. "Viva Ameri
canos" meant os muoh to thorn ns
Viva Espanol," or "viva Chicogo," or
anything elso, They are muoh liko
the Chioago newsboys. They wanted
something "to holler," and one thing
was as good as another and meant
about as much.
It was disoouraging to tho Major,
after he had carofnlly drilled his
chorus and informed thorn who we
wero aud whenoe wo came, to have
ono of them point at him as ho walkod
tway and say in a breathless tono to
the other Igorrotes about him, "Aqui
oaldo." Major March explained that
no was not Aquinaldo, but it did no
good.
Ouly a few had any clear idea of
who or what Aguinaldo was, and
Major March came as near realizing
.heir ideal as anybody, so they at
jnce applied to him that name.
There was not much to eat in Bag
nan. The chief, and, iu faot, about
the only, food of tho peoplo seemed
to be a species of sweet potato, which
was not sweet in spite of its name,
out whioh the soldiers eagerly bought
is a welcome change from tho ever
lasting: rice.
Tho men made camp fires and
jrowded about, for the evening was
.locidedly cool. The Igorrotes sat
stolidly huddled np in their blankets
in tho middle of the road and every
where also they could get thut was di
rectly in the road. It was impossible
o step withont walking over an Igor
I'oto. The soldiers would scowl at
:hom to movo nut of tbo way, but
ihey merely looked stupidly ahead
ind contiuued to squat whero they
wore.
Finally, tho exasperated soldiery,
tiaviug exhausted a vocabulary of ex
oletivos that would have made au old
md hardened army mulo fall to his j
knees in repentance and tears, spoke
no mere to the Igcrioto brethren. If I
ihey wanted one to got out of the
road they simply pnshed him ovor
nd rolled him down the trial. If
they wanted ono to go to the spriug
vfter water they merely put a canteen
in his band, pulled him to his feet,
turned his face toward tho spring and
gave him a kick. The momentum
usually snfficod to carry the Igorrote
to the water and the alluring glaro of
Iho camp fire brought him baok. If
he forgot the water, two soldiers
would kick him at ouoc, and the iu
oreasod stock of energy was generally
sufficient to carry him to the spring
aud enable him to fill tho canteen be
fore ho ran down.
Major March and his offioors took
possession of a little buildiug whioh
the Spanish friars had erected and
used as a mission and school house.
There were great cracks on tho floor,
and the cold monntaiu wind swooped
into the room with a roar. It was as
cold as the lako winds in winter. Wo
tried to sleep, but tho floor was the
hardest I had ever slept on. The
wind howled and shriokod and it was
ho oold that we would wake np every
now and then with our tooth chatteriug
and our feet and hands fairly numb.
Added to tho cold wero some 350
distinct and separato smells poculiar
to Igorrote towns, Euoh different wind
as it whistled up through tho holes in
the floor was laden with a new and
more appalling smell. We took the
blankets from our shivering bodies
and wrappod them about our heads to
keep out the Igorroto odors, but those
vigorous aud perniciously aotive
smells would havo goue through a
brick wall, and all we could do was to
try to sloep.
Many of the soldiers, especially
those who had no blankets, sat all
night orowded around their oamp
fires, where the cherry blaze and the
fresh smell of burniug pine kept away
both the oold and the smells.
Of oourse, they had their troubles,
too. Tbey would sent Igorrotos after
fresh wood for the flro aud tho Igor
rotes would nevor come baok. They
would simply move over and squat
down by the side of another fire.
When the soldiers iu despair would go
themselves after wood thoy would
it ml. when tbey came back, a dozen
gorrotes, their blankets over their
.leads, sitting like wooden images
about the cheerful blaze, aud somo of
thorn fairly sitting on top of the glow
ing embers. The soldiers would sadly
turn the simple natives ou their sides
and roll them down the hil, but soon
they would be back agaic.
We slept as long as we oould in tho
mission house and theu, ono by oue
during the night, we wonld steal out
and sit for a while at a tire and tbon
go baok and try to sleep again.
Toward morning the soldiers begun
cooking breakfast. Sergeaut-Mujor
MaoDougal was at work boiling pota
toes ou a flreplaoe in a native shack.
The flreplaoe was like a big table oov
ered with earth, on whioh three or four
fires could' be made. Never was a
more pathetio figure seen than that
same Sergeant-Major MaoDougal as
he tended the fires with one hand and
belabored the Igorrotes, who were
squatting ou top of the table.with the
Other Thar war oat onntaat in stand
on tho floor as tbo soldiers did. They
mounted the tablo itself and sat al
most in the fire. Not one stick of
wood did they bring, nor did thoy even
offer to help put fresh fuel on the flro.
They only squatted and blinked like
frogs, and whonover the Scrgoant
Mnjor would turn his baok they would
completely onoirclo the firen.
When tbo Sergtant-Msjor retnrned
with a now supply of wood and a fresh
lot of invectives they would merely
blink at him reproachfully.
Wo waited in the morning for the
return of tho two Igorroto ruuners
whom Major Maroh had font over to
Bontoo the night before. They loft
at 8 o'clock at night and returned be
fore 8 tho next morniug, having cov
ered the fourteen miles of monr.tnia
trail to Bontoo and return in that time.
Besides that thoy had diseovered that
Aguinaldo bad left' Bontoo and taken
a trail 'to the south and that further
pursuit by our column would be use
less. To provo the truth of their state
ments they brought notes written iu
Spanish by Spanish prisoners in Bon
too and also by insurgent soldiers,
who offered to surrender if pur com
maud wonld coma to Bontoo,
These two runners proved that there
was somo good in tho Igorrotes after
all, and tho Major paid thorn $2.50
Mexioan apiece readily enough.
Besides the long journey tbo run
ners had made they had fairly carried
their lives in their bauds, ns they wero
at tho constant risk of being killod by
Tagal sympathizers, even if they woro
not discovered by insurgent soldiers
themselves. So the Major duoided to
return to Cervantes.
