Every farmer krows, • or should know, that a hard and I lumpy soil writ not grow good crops, no matter how much plant food it may contain. A. clay co:1, which has been producing crops fur any num- ber of years may be so ser'ously Ln- 1 jured by one injudicious p:oughing in . a w -et time as to ruin it for the growing of crops for two or three years. The injury Les in the mods- fir-atlon of its physical texture, not en the lessening of Its fertility. A sandy soil may also be ser-ousiy im- paired for the growing of any crop if the humus, or decaying organic matter, be allowed 1.0 burn out of Lt. It becomes leachy, it quickly • loses its moisture, and it becomes excessively hot in bright sunny weather. A finely divided, mellow, friable soil is more p.oduetive than a Bard Lumpy eoLt of the same chemical com- kosbttoe. Why? Because It ho.ds and retains the moisture; it bo.ds more air; it presents greater bur- take to the roots; it promotes fer- tility; it hais,ems the .decomposit.on' of the m:r„erai elements; it has less' variable extremes of temperature, and' 1 allows a better root -hold' to the phew,. In. alt these and other . ways the me:luwnes:; of the soil ten- ders the putnt fool more available, and affords a congenial and com- fortable place to which the plant may grow. krtrst Prepare the Soil. Ii is useless to apply commercial fertilizers to lands which are net in proper physical condition ' for the very best growth of crops. Bow, thea. can the texture of lands be improved ? By judicious ploughing and tillage, and mulches; by the incorporation- of humus ; • by the use of under drains, wind breaks, applications of lime, salt and adap- tation of crop to soil, A number of experiments have been carried out on our own ex- perimental farms, as well as at Ithaca, N.

To be thoroughly modish the pret- ty little chemise must not only be elaborately trimmed at the neck, but there should be aruffle an the lower edge, also ornamented with lace tot match the upper part. One chemise which belongs to a set had what Is Balled the ripple trim- ming, a new effect, in which narrow lace edging is sewn together, one row above the other, and each one put otn a little fuller than the one just above, so that while there is very little fulness nt the tap the flounce spreads in a very pretty rip- ple. Set on the rounded neck of the chemise mentioned was a ruffle of this kind, made with five rows of new Yalenelennes edging, and head- ing this there was an inch wide bead- ing, combining lace and embroidery. A knot of pale blue ribbon was caught in 'rant, and there wasn't even the suggestion of a sleeve, fon the peck frill curved up prettily to hide the armholes. The chemise was quite long, and on the bottom was a flounce of ripple lace to match that on',thc neck. This, too, displayed a hnndsom•e beading as a finish, The drawers which went with this gar- ment exhibited the same ornamenta- tio'ne with an exception In case of the beading, which was wider and rounded up at the outside of the leg, fallowing the outline of the garment. There wais a bet 01 ribbon ode each side and another fastened ,the front of the night robe. Corset Covers. Quite the n,evvest and daintiest ef- fects In corset covers are those made to go over the petticoat top and which have set on the bottom of the cover, at the waist line, a circular piece trimmed to match the rest of the cover, There should be nothing all all in the way of sleeves, not even a tiny shoulder strap, for it, is; tinea ot the newest fads toi use ribbons to cross over the top and fasten on each shoulder In pretty loops. Usually, in auolt styles, the cover is cut straight across the back and frond at the top, and by means of the shoulder ribban.s the cover may be made medium or very low, as desired.

Tue popul tr black velvet and satin ribbons continue to sail in large quan- tities, and it iy expected that even an increased demand will be experi- enced for them during the coming season. With a cheaper class of trade the same feeling for black velvet ribbons is saao'wn, the differ- ence being that a poorer grade of goods is taken. Cotton backs are also going very well. Moire taffeta ribbons are among the best selling fines, the greater widths being preferred. All light colors go well, pink, cream, light bine, white, etc. The narrowest velvet ribbons are now in dem and for summer wear, for making up into bows pr knots.

Every farmer krows, • or should know, that a hard and I lumpy soil writ not grow good crops, no matter how much plant food it may contain. A. clay co:1, which has been producing crops fur any num- ber of years may be so ser'ously Ln- 1 jured by one injudicious p:oughing in . a w -et time as to ruin it for the growing of crops for two or three years. The injury Les in the mods- fir-atlon of its physical texture, not en the lessening of Its fertility. A sandy soil may also be ser-ousiy im- paired for the growing of any crop if the humus, or decaying organic matter, be allowed 1.0 burn out of Lt. It becomes leachy, it quickly • loses its moisture, and it becomes excessively hot in bright sunny weather. A finely divided, mellow, friable soil is more p.oduetive than a Bard Lumpy eoLt of the same chemical com- kosbttoe. Why? Because It ho.ds and retains the moisture; it bo.ds more air; it presents greater bur- take to the roots; it promotes fer- tility; it hais,ems the .decomposit.on' of the m:r„erai elements; it has less' variable extremes of temperature, and' 1 allows a better root -hold' to the phew,.

Ii is useless to apply commercial fertilizers to lands which are net in proper physical condition ' for the very best growth of crops. Bow, thea. can the texture of lands be improved ? By judicious ploughing and tillage, and mulches; by the incorporation- of humus ; • by the use of under drains, wind breaks, applications of lime, salt and adap- tation of crop to soil, A number of experiments have been carried out on our own ex- perimental farms, as well as at Ithaca, N.

The chemise was quite long, and on the bottom was a flounce of ripple lace to match that on',thc neck. This, too, displayed a hnndsom•e beading as a finish, The drawers which went with this gar- ment exhibited the same ornamenta- tio'ne with an exception In case of the beading, which was wider and rounded up at the outside of the leg, fallowing the outline of the garment.

With a cheaper class of trade the same feeling for black velvet ribbons is saao'wn, the differ- ence being that a poorer grade of goods is taken. Cotton backs are also going very well. Moire taffeta ribbons are among the best selling fines, the greater widths being preferred.

A woman who lived In Persia for fifteen yeare is in deapaft'beeause the rlce.whfch she buys In this coun- try refuses -to puff into the s'novlry mass that it to readily assuvies on its native shores. She clings to the Persian method of preparing It. After putting It through several rinslugs of cold water, to remove avjl the loose flour on the outside of the grains, tine rice i3 placed in a large quantity, of ccld water and put over the fire. It is allowed to boll very hard, until it is swollen to the full size and begins to soften. Then It is turtle@ into a colander and cold water is turned over it until It Is dry.

In Persiut the entire mass wilt respend to thbi treatment by swelling• Into a light,, foamy consistency: Witen the rice is turned into a dish the butter goes with it and permeates every kernel.
