The two sketches here, bowever. embody several of the uew st ami most desirable of the features of these gowns for this season. The first Is made of khaki, the smartest and most exclusive of cotton stuffs for this summer's tailor-mades. The round, dip front, lOtoti Jacket, with very plain sleeve, Is the very proper--st spring Jacket model. The revers are covered with an applique of heavy white embroidery, and u band to juukh heads the circular lultle on the Wklrt. These circular ruffles are still lu mode on tailor gowns of either wool or cotton, but only run across the sides ami hack, tlulshlug at each Hide of the box plait. Then, too, they do not flare nearly ho much as last season, being ;ctit plainer, with a scarcely percept I ble flare. The combination of the tun nish yellow of the khnkl and the heavy white embroidery Is stylish in the ex treme. A white pique, cut with one of the new kilted skirts.

This Is nUo a very smart gown, Its trimmed and fitted bodice making It rather dressier than the other one, although their Hlyles do not conflict with one another, as they are designed for dlfl'ereut oc casions. Whllo the Jacket suit may, with perfect propriety, be worn for any occasion where u wash gown Is permissible, yet, as has been said, the design of the other makes It more dressy nml gives It ralner Ii-h's of gen eral utility style than the Jacket model.

Ifive up her petticoats, and, let fashion take what whim she will. nothing can rival the soft "frou froii" of a satin or silk underskirt, or the delightful dalntlnesH of white ontnhrle and Yn lenclenneH. When we wear n petti coat now It Is of the most elaborate order., nnd here brocade Is really requisite. The most fantastic old Watteau brocades, and even satin Wounds with tloral designs outlined with panne, are utilized for the under skirt, with bright flounces trimmed with beautiful lace, caught up with ribbons or held In place with dainty headings and goffering. New Fancy In Jewelry. We are used to a "rose gold set ting," and occasionally to n greenish lustre on the sterling metal, but now some Parisian artist has conceived the Idea of tinging a good setting to match the hue of the gem It encases. Of course this Is out of the question with either a pearl or a diamond, and would tend to make the whole affair, both Jewel and mount, look artificial, lint when a sapphire is mounted In gold dulled with a bluish tinge, or a ruby or ame thyst, emerald, topaz, spinel or garnet Is seen with Its setting Hushed with the same tone of color, the effect Is really beautiful.

Why Hen In the Orchard Do Well. The poultry, when roaming at will about the orchard or pasture, have an abundant supply of animal food in the shape of insects, worms and snails, for which they are constantly on the lookout. This is why they do so well when allowed to roam about in this manner. The one who has his hens confined should try and make up this deficiency, which cau be done by feed ing meat scraps, cut bone or livers. They can be easily secured from the local butcher. Sow Some Orchard Clraaa. Timothy is most commonly sown with clover, despite the fact that it re quires two to three weeks longer to grow than clover does before it in ready to cnt. If orchard grass were sowu, the hay would be better, beoause the orchard grass and clover are both ready for cntting at the samo time. The orchard grass is apt to grow in bunches the first year, but as clover is a biennial it dies out after it has seedod, and the orohard grass will then extend and occupy the whole sur face the same as timothy or Juno grass would do. Recipe For Oofihere anil Ariutrrole. The following recipe for the de strnction of gophers aud squirrels has been highly reoommouded: "Take i five-gallon can, put a stiok of phos phorus with a little cold water in the bottom of it. Ponr in hot not boil ing water, just hot enough to melt the phosphorous gradually. Add two pounds of sugar and stir. Then add corn meal and flour equal in quant ties to make a thick batter. Then stir in whole wheat until the batter is quite stiff. Pour in at the same time fifteen or twenty drops of rhodium. The wheat will absorb all the water and the ruass will become hard. For use, cmp on small pieces to the size of a hickory nut aud place it iu the rnns." Railing Young Fig-. xonng pigs always onug a price that is considerably above their pros ent value if killed to furnish meat, The young pig will increase in weight very rapidly iu proportion to the food it consumes, and this fact is sure to be discounted by the seller when he fixes the price. The young pigs also keeps the tenderness of flesh aud tine flavor of the roasting-pig stage until it is several months old, aud a roast pig weighing eighty to niuety pounds is as good eating as one killed when it is not more than eight weeks old. This, however, depends on how the pig has been kept. If allowed to sur feit itself and become dyspeptio, the meat will show that the animal has had fever and will be neither tender nor healthful as food. If oinemn'le Potato Planter. Potatoes were planted with a home made planter consisting of a shoe from a press drill so p laced in a frame on four wheels that it runs at a depth ot tour mches. Immediately behind aud fastened to the shoo is a tin fun nel through which the cuttings may be dropped bohiud the shoe, and iu the slit thus made. The dirt falls back alone as soou as the shoe and funnel have passed, thus planting and covering at one operation and all cuttings at a uniform depth. This takes a team aud driver and one to drop from the basket of cuttings placed in front ol the dropper, who sits behind the funnel and let? a steady stream of cuttings fall from the hand. If the team is hold at a slow walk, this distributes the eyes at from six to ten inches apart. Thomas S. Pease, in Orange Judd Farmer. Selecting Drain for Seed. If farmers would select their largest and plumpest grain for seed they could need muoh less heavily thau they do and grow larger crops as well. This has been many times proven by care ful experiment. There was a saving iu the amount of seed used and a gain in the amount of crop grown that made a great difference iu the cost of grow ing the crop, in some cases all the dif ference between a profit and loss. The same thing is true of garden seeds. One had better pay a dollar a pound for plump, well-developed and well ripeued seeds than to have inferior seed given to them. Probably seed will average better this year than it has some years, because of the favor able weather for ripening and curing it, but we repeat our advice to the gardener to test his seed by putting some of it between damp oloths to see how much will germinate before sow ing. It is provoking to sow a lot of seed with great care and find that but a small part oomes np, perhaps just euough to encourage one to care for the crops, instead of digging it up and putting in some other, aud not euough to warrant the expectation of more than half a fair crop. Yet almost every gardener has had such au experience. Where the Weeil Seed Lay. He had always had a love for door life, but came to outdoor past middle life. out work He was an iuland, surrounded by a gulf of neighborly advice, iuto which ran silently a stream of the elder ex periences of his fathers across the water. He himself experimented with aff. mixture of both. The neighbors carted off all the barn and stable manure ami let it rot out of sight and smell, except the little dug iuto the garden patuh. "Awfully wasteful?" he said, and gathered it up aud spread it on a field destined for winter wheat. "Sie'U be sorrowful ober dat!" said an old Dutch neighbor. "De manure is foil weed seed!" And sorrowful he was, for sorrel came up first before the wheat, aud dog fennel succeeded in out-topping both I "Worth nothing for hay, event" he said. Ho he had to mow it and dry it aud feed it to the flames. Ho swears he will keep ( a good, honest manure pile in the future, as his fathers did, and let it rot well, year iu and year out, before applying it to the wheat laud. L. A. N., in National P.urul. 'lowing 'ur Corn, Bt-th deep and shallow plowing for corn have thuir ardent advocates. Where the laud is covered with barn- yard mannre the plowing should be at least an inch shallower than the last plowing. The constant rains carry the soluble particles of fertility down deeper in the soil after each soaking rain. If plow ed shallow the strata of formerly plowed land lying immedi ately underneath will take np and hold most ot the soluble plant food, whereas if turned nnder to the iisnal depth it will soak into the subsoil, aud being deeper than most plants seek their food, is almost lost as far as immediate returns are concerned. Only deeper plowing will make this locked-up fertility available for plant food. With a stiff sod the conditions are almost the same as when manure is applied to the surface and plowed nuder. Corn is not a deep feeder and a few iuches below the top you will find a perfect network ot fibrous roots. In an extremely dry season deep plowing for corn is of great ad vantage and extra large crops are often grown from this practioe. How ever, in most seotions the conditions are not favorable more than one year in four for deep plowing. Shallow plowing will guard against the loss ot fertility, as the growing crop in no seasou utilizes it all. L. D. Snook, iu American Agriculturist. I Take Adranlaare or Nature' Olfta. What the farmer wants is to have nature furnish his fertilizers. Com mercial fertilizers are no doubt all right and some of them are excellent as well as beiug all their manufactur ers claim for them, but the slice which they out off the profits of the farm is the thing that hurts the farmer. Wheu farmers are practicing close farming raising market stuff on from two to five acres aud make a good living off it why then it is a case ot compulsion, but when the available laud is iu such quantities that strips or plots, aud in some cases, fields can be allowed to rest why then there it hardly any reason at all why a man should part with his hard earned money by paying big fertilizer bills. Of course a growing crop is bound to take something, and in fact a greal deal, from the soil which has got tc be put back it any kind of a docenl crop is expected in the future and na ture comes to the farmer's relief, for it provides for him many different plants that will not only grow nud re store to the soil most of that which has been taken from it by numerous crops, but it will also furnish him with an abunduuoe of hay with which to feed his stock. Farmers shonld uot fail to take advantage of this gen erous gift of nature and those who dc so will find both themselves and their farms better off in the future. New York Weekly Witness. riRlithiB the Lettuce Prop. The most troublesome lettuce dis ease is what is knqwu as the drop. This is caused by. a fungus which ramifies through the soil but does not propagate by spores. This disease causes enormous losses. Some houses almost entirely succumb to it, whereas mauy other growers have from twenty-five to fifty per cent, of the disease in their houses. It has been found that the best method of treating this disease is by the use of heat or steril ization of the soil. Numerous ex periments with gas and chemicals huvo shown but the slightest efficiency iu controlling this. Various methods are being tried to control this disease, one of which con sists in coveriug the soil with a layer oi auotu one inch of sterilized soil. This succeeds iu greatly reduoing the loss. Two inches of sterilized soil i? far superior to one, but the only ab solute method known yet is to com pletely Bterilize the soil in the house, or at least heat it up to about 300 de grees. This is done by placing two inch tile iu the soil about one foot deep and passing steam through them. With a large high-pressure boiler enormous quantities of soil can be heated up in a very short time to the reqniste temperature. Plants grown in such soil grow faster. Wheu this disease, moreover is once eradicated. oare being taken to prevent inocula tion from refuse heaps, there appears to be no reason why the disease can not be kept out of the house indefi nitely. The samo method of treat ment would appear to apply to some of the other fungous diseases which do not propagate by spores. Profes sor O. E. Stone, iu American Agri culturist. Safety In Truntplantluc. You have kuowu all your lifo prob ably that the earth must be packed close around the roots of trees or plauts when resetting them. A writer in the Farmers' Tribuue tells of his experience in proouring this eud and gives the reasons for its necessity: One of the most helpful things I ever learned iu horticulture was about puddling trees and all sorts of plants before setting them. The first thing every transplanted tree or plant must do before it can grow in its new location, is to heal the wounds made upon its roots and start new rootlets through which to absorb the moisture and food from the soil. The closer and more firmly the earth is pressed to them the more readily they cau do this. It takes time for the particles of the soil to get into contaot with the roots as it was before transplant ing, no matter how well the work is iloue. This is where paddling comes in. The cost is nothing, excent a verv little work. It is done thus: "Near where the trees or plants are heeled in, or the place where they are to be planted, dig a hole about two feet in diameter and one foot deep. Fill it nearly full of water. Iuto this put mellow earth that is partly com posed of day and stir it until it is a mass of thin, stioky mud. As soou as the roots are trimmed ready for plant ing, dip them into it bodily. It there is any delay about planting and the mud dries so that it is not stioky.pud dle them again. When the mellow soil oomes iu contact with these muddy roots it will stick to them olosoly. Those who have never tried this plan can have no kuowledge of the good that follows. I puddle almost every plaut that I sot aud flud that it al ways puys. Cabbage and sweet potato plauts will start into new growth al most without wilting, no matter what the weuthor may be at the time," Some of the mountains iu the Oraugti Free State rise to an altitude of ovei lO.UOOfeet. GOOD ROADS NOTES. An Kconntnla Neeenlty. SrEAKINO of one ot (he most important matters now occu pying the attention of wheel men, Vice-President Kings bury, of the L. A. W., says: "The suggestion that the Highway Improvement Committee of the League of American Wheelmeu take immedi ate steps toward the insertion of good roads planks in National platforms Las met with such instant approval and so muoh encouragement that it seems safe to predict for it a complete success. Under the splendid aid which the League has given to it, the movement for better roads has grown to great proportions, and now, uuder the united efforts of the wheelmen, farmers and automobilists, is so rapid ly beooming recognized as a plain business proposition, the beneficial results of which are out of all propor tion to its oost, that far-seeing states men will no longer have any desire to ignore the question of highway im provement nnder national legislation and appropriation. "It seems perfectly proper that the demand for a declaration of belief on this subject from the leading political parties should oome from the organi zation which was the pioneer in the movement; it has been a long, twenty years' campaign of ednoation, com menoing with local work aud the dis tribution of such literature as could bo obtoiued, and working gradually, by the expenditure of thousauds and thousands of dollars and the distribu tion of millious of pamphlets, up to successful legislation in many States and the adoption of the State aid sys tem, which has proven unqualified success wherever tried. The time has now arrived for a still broader move ment, aud from the League of Ameri can Wheelmen should come the pri mary efforts which shall result in a thoroughly practical system of na tional, State aud city road building, which would apportion the expense and soon put the highways of this country on a basis equal to that per fection which national and State finan cial aid have made it possible for our through rail and waterways to attain. "The effect of the insertion of a strong plank declaring iu favor of na tional highways, which, with the united effort of farmers, automobilists and wheelmen, should not be difficult to obtain, could only have beneficial re sults, oven if placed there only with the idea of vote getting by the party management; the good roods move ment to-day is strong enough to follow up such a party promise with demands for its fulfillment; it would prove the onteriug wedge which could be driven deep euough into the heart of Con gress to produce immediate results, aud I am confident it will be accom plished and that we shall mark the be ginning of the new century by start ing national highways." , A Keault or Private Enterprise. One of the most successful move ments for good roadii, the result ol private enterprise, is that of the citi zens of Madison, Wis. 'I hj idea of securing drives alontr ilia Inkaa ami porks in aud near the city took defi nite shape eight years ago. For the first two years the work was carried on by a citizens' committee, but finally passed into the control of an associ ation organized for the purpose. In the by-lows of the association it is provided that, in aoquiring, opening, extending parks and drives in and about the city of Madison and Dane County, the business shall be without profit to any member. The corpora tion is without capital, aud there is no such thing as a dividend. Any person may become a voting member of the association on annual payment of $25. Persons contributing annu ally $5 or over, or less than $25, be come associate members, but have no vote, save in altering constitution and by-laws. Aay person contributing $500 is made a life member. Other sources of revenue are gifts and grants. In all, during the eight yeais, nearly $10,000 has been sub scribed and expended, the results beiug the building aud maintenance of twenty-five miles of carriage drives and bioycle paths, the laying out of several small parks, and the planting of hundreds of shade trees. ICefornt Marching- On. The cause of road reform in this State goes marching on. The latest connty to come nnder its wholesome iuflueuoe is Albany. The supervisors of Albany have just determined to improve one of the leadino- rrmli r.f the connty, through State aid. Com menting upon this deoision, the Al bany Journal remarks that "the roads in the county of Albany for mauy years have been remarkably bad." This is not a confession which does oredit to Albany's publio spirit aud enterprise, but then she oan con sole herself with the reflection that there is scaroely a county in the State which, if oalled to the wituess stand, would not be oompelled to make a similar confession.

Professor Charles H. Judd, of the University of New York, says: One at the most extraordinary feats of niemorv ever known wny tlmi nt Henry Nelson Pillsbury, recently the inuericnu vuauipiou ouess player, when he played twenty simultaneous games without seeing any of the boards. One blindfold gamo is far beyond the power of niuety-uine out of a hundred chess players, but Mr. Pillsbury snooeeded in the colossal task of remembering for several hours the constantly changing positions ot 640 bits of wood. Not only did he win fourteen, draw five and lose but one of these twenty games, but at the close also remem bered the details of every play and corrected several mistakes which had been made in reoording them. Wonderful as this is it need not alarm Mr. Pillsbury's friends with fears of a meutal breakdown. He has merely given the world one of the most remarkable examples of what we call visualism a peculiar and rarely cultivated function of memory. There is nothing abnormal in a feat of this kind, and it need not be re garded as an enormous strain upon the mind. Abnormality only appears when one faculty stnltifleB all the others. The probable fact is that Fillsbury has discovered a bettor method of playing chess than others, which makes a hitherto impossible task comparatively easy for him, I am certain that he could not hove played against twenty tables by the aid of any artificial memory system. Those systems are like crutches thev hell) uo to a curtain nntnt. ami thou are apt to hinder. Visualizing is simply n matter of concentration aud development of a certain nic.torinl quality of memory. Those who are most likely to excel are those who de vote themselves entirelv to one men. tal pursuit. They develop the fooulty of becoming oblivious of all that takes place around them.
