It has been made In such variety that

is more or less elaborate (If one can
call any of tho season's styles elab

be put to.
Many of the now models are entire

beloved crepe georgette In sleeves and
bodice replaced by satin. But crepe
la not entirely banished and Is not
likely to be. It Is too valuablu an
asset to the designers of gowns nnd
too becoming to their wearers to' lose

fabrics of any kind. It Is particularly
good on gray, taupe, black and dark
blue.
A trace of the tonnenit Idea remains
In the skirt of this gown, which is cut
to Hare out nt the hips. The long
sleeves are of plain crepo and the
bodice and upper part of the tunic of
satin and of crepe with the new em
broidery. The lines are almost
straight,, with an inconspicuous and
soft girdle of satin, playing hide and
geek with tho embroidered crepo on
the bodice. Measured by present
standards, this gown may be called
elaborate. A cluster of silk and
chenille flowers on tho bodice do their
part toward brightening Its dignified
color, which Is taupe, but might be
dark blue or gray or black with equal
ly good effect.
Even the little miss of eleven (or
nore) years mny be hnppy In the pos
session of a velvet hat this winter,
for those who make It their business
to look after her needs in hendwear
have gone in for velvet. The soft
crowns and soft brims of the new
shapes make Just the kind of hendwear
for little girls; Hopping brims and big
puffed crowns that belong to youth.
Velvets In black, dark brown nnd

floppy brims Hint have always belong'
ed to youth. But the crown and brim
are both softer than those of Its proto
types. It is of black velvet bound
with grosgraln ribbon and has a small
fur ornament at the front.
The hat at the right is merely a
large puff of velvet over a narrow
drooping brim, bound with ribbon. It
has a collar, and long ends nt the back
of grosgraln ribbon. Tho small

crown, mounted on a narrow, upturned

which Is weighted at one side with a
silk cord and tassel. The edge of tho
brim Is bound with narrow grosgraln
ribbon.
These hats represent tho Ideas of.

Such are typlcitf symptoms when In

a distinctly healthy, green appearance
This Is tho result of the bncterln
which live ou Its rpots and supply tho
nitrogen necessary for the dark green
color and heavy growth. Such growth
takes place, not nt the expense of the
nitrogen In tho soil, but as n result of
tho nitrogen In the air, which cannot

Inoculntlon of alfalfa has pro
nounced effects. It Increases' and some
times doubles the yield of liny, by giv
ing larger plants with more leaves. It
makes the hay richer In protein by
feeding the plnnt nitrogen, tho essen
tial constituent of protein, which gives
tho hay a greater feeding value. In
addition to this It supplies the plant
with nitrogen from the air, and thus
leaves tho soil richer after the crop
than It was before.
"W. A. Albrecht of tho University of
Missouri collego of agriculture men

tho first place, soli where alfaifn or
sweet clover Is growing with plenty of
nodules on the roots mny be collected
and broadcast on the field nt tho rate
of n hundred or more pounds per aero
ht seeding time. In tho second plnce,
seed may be lnoculnted by means of
soil, or by artificial cultures which can
be secured from many commercial
firms or from tho University of Mis
souri collego of agriculture. This
method is preferred iy many since it
Is less laborious and the process Is
simple. Tho effort required to lnocu-

on soil where It has not been grown

CLEAN EGGS ARE ESSENTIAL
Necescary That Nests Contain Plenty
of Unsullied Litter Oat or Wheat
Straw Is Best.
It Is necessary, to make sure of
cleun eggs, that nests contain plenty
of clenn litter. Oat or wheat straw,
cut short, is best. It it well too. to
put at bottom n handful or so of to
bacco stems, which will do much to
keep nway llco and mites. To avoid
eggs getting chilled, they should be
gathered regularly twice u -luy, even
oftener In very severe wenthui. It takes
little time, -Kid prevents loss of good
eggs. Then keep them In a tempera
ture of 45 to 55 degrees.

Always Feasible.
One form of 'regulation suggested
to keep potatoes free from dlseaso
provides for a. state or local quaran
tine against all potatoes, not treated
with formaldehyde at the point of
origin. This is hardly feasible In com

grower can eliminate or control nine-
tenths of tho potato diseases, and will
do so If his market requires It and If,
a premium Is pnld for the oxtrn labor
involved. A closer connection between
the Northern grower and the South

vantngeous.
SPRAY FOR CABBAGE WORMS
Insect Is Very Destructive to Many
Vegetable Plants Pump la Sure
and Simple Way.
Tho common green cabbage worm Is
very destructive to cabbages, cnull
flower and allied plants? often destroy
ing or seriously Injuring tho crop. It
Is very enslly controlled, however, nnd
there Is no excuse for sustaining n
heavy loss.
In small gardens hnnd picking may
bo prnctlccd. But In field culture somo
cheaper control mensures must bo
used. Tho surest and simplest Is to
use tho spray pump. A solution of
two pounds of powdered arsenate of
lead or four pounds of nrsennte of
lead In paste form, or one pound of
purls green to 50 gallons of wnter
should bo applied as soon ns tho
plants aro set out, and should be
repented as often ns an examination of
tho plants show It Is necessary. Where
sprays aro employed they should be
applied in a fine mist, since coarser ap
plications tend to gather In drops on
tho leaves and run off.
ERADICATION OF BLUE GRASS
Safest Way to Kill It Out In Alfalfa
Field Is to Make Trip With
8prlng-Tooth Harrow.
Ono or two trips with tho spring-
tooth harrow through tho alfalfa field
after the second cutting Is the safest
way to kill the blue grass In the field,
say tho farm crops men at Iowa stato
college.
If a sprlnjj-tooth harrow Is not avail
able tho disk may be used, as tho slight
lnlurv to tho nlfalfa crowns Is liar
small compared with eliminating hluo
grass. To smooth tho ground follow
tho disk with tho haijrow.
KEEP RECORD OF CHICKENS
Record Every Item of Expense, Feed
and Apparatus and Credit With
Returns Made.
Open an account with tho poultry,
chnrglng them with every item of ex
pense, feed, nnd apparatus, and then
credit tlrem with tho eggs and chick
ens produced, not only those that aro
sold In market but what aro consumed
on tho tnblo. This Is tho only suro
way of knowing whether or not tho
poultry pays.
CARING FOR PASTURE LANDS
Mowing When Weeds Aro In Full
Bloom la Excellent Practice Seed

Mowing pnsturo lands when tho
weeds nro In full bloom Is un excellent
practice, as It prevents tho formation
of weed seeds. Most weeds, oveu of
tho perennhd type, can gradually bo
brought under control if they nro not
