We actually need, for our peaee of mind, a new frock of some sort or description. Well, there are any number of betweeo- eeason frocks which will answer this purpose admirably, and this season more than ever before it seems they are appearing in great abundance. There are the printed silks, the costume blouses, the short, flaring coats, the circular cut crepe dresses. All or any of these are satisfactory for wear upon the street while the weather Is in that uncertain condition between warm and col 1, and when we Just cant possibly bear to wear our summer togs for another day. The short coats are, perhaps, the --nsatlon of the season. They have been adopted with great seal by those who lead the fashions In America. There seems every reason to suppose that their popularity will go right on for many months to come. They have their distinct economical advantages as well as their artistic merits In their favor. They can be combined with a partially vonr aklrt, provided It Is long enough for smartness, and th«y can be combined with one-piece fMMkn with tbe moat startling effect ipiVBW little coats are sometimes Uftde with taring lines, at ether times they afVfBMd* 14 fit closely over the hlpe. But they are always short fer coats, while possibly they might be considered long for blouses. One Is made along the flaring lines which in Paris have been more popular. Coats of (Us variety are coming Into our styles and wV flnd them, on the smart women, looking most ravishing. Some of them are made of suede; others are composed of those heavy, new, embroidered wrolen materials; some of them are made of wool brocades. Again, yon will find them made of heavy silks and duvetlnes. All are Heed with brightly colored silks, so that the linings become part of the coats, even If they do not actually fold over on to tha surface of the coatr to form an obvious band of trimming. Another coat Is made of a suede finished material, which is really a glorified duvetine. Its color la a deep chocolate brown and It Is made with a wide and rolling collar that buttons cloeely under the throat The~e are four dark brown shiny buttons arranged along one side where the coat closes. At the bottom of the little jacket there is a band of a lighter brown duvetlne material arranged to form a trimming and to repeat the color of the dress which is worn beneath. • > With these short coats either plain or very full skirts can be worn. It all depends upon the sine of the woman who elects to wear them. If she Is very tall she tan stand the plaited skirt with much more grace than If she is counted among the small ones of the earth. Indeed, for a tall woman a plaited skirt will be found to help out the Unes considerably, for in this era of long skirts she of many Inches of height must begin once again to look out for the lengthening of her lines. She cannot go too far in. this direction, for she runs the danger, always, of looking ridiculous. However, the day of good looks has dawned for her shorter sister, for these longer, fuller dresses have the effect of lengthening her lines and making her take on a sllmness of ap> pearance which has been her desire all along. For her these newer styles are the grestest boon. . From abroad we hear hints of kitted skirts to be worn with short and fi. > Ing coats. This Is always a style very much to be desired, for It relieves a possibly ugly 41ne, and the kilted skirt is something of which women, from a long way back, have always approved. * The jacquette blouses are taking the place of coats for wear at Just this season of tbe year. So. if there Is s new something needed for the wardrobe, one cannot make a mistake in buying one of these with becoming lines and contour. The blouses that are partially coats In design are made with wide sleeves --In some Instances with extremely wide sleeves--and they are always long waisted, with wrinkles about the normal waistline, and often with distinct bloused lines arranged over the hips. Usually there Is a Wide band at the hips, and often t^iere Is a buckle to fasten It snugly on one side. With the plaited skirt we have the practical long lines of the lstest Idea In a costume blouse. You can find them In all of the shops, or you can have them designed for your own separate Individuality. They ate handsome or they are commonplace. But the Jacquette blouse is the thing, and you will make no mistake If you decide to have one of than fer one between seasons. lesag ef the domestic animals that are kept on pastures during the summe# j«iilact a wide assortment of internal parasites that spend part of theliP.lifil cycle within the animal and pert of It outside. The Infection, says the United States Department of Agriculture, usually takes place In warm weather, as at that time there are proper conditions of moisture and temperature for the development of the organisms. In some cases there are Insects that act as intermediate hosts for certain parasites and of course udtfng tbe winter such hosts are not actlyei Some parasites of horses and cattle are carried by biting insects that Introduce them Into the blood stream of the animal. Several species of parasites spend part of their life cycle in dung beetles and through these beetles are taken In with grass and get Into the digestive tract of the animal. The ordinary house fly Is a carrier for one of the stomach worms of the horse. Various kinds of tape worms of poultry spend a period of their existence In house flies, snails and other lower animals. All these worms require also proper conditions of warmth and moisture for their development. Get Rid of Parasite*. From these facta about the habits of some of the well-known Internal parasites of domestic animals it Is plain that fall and early winter Is the most opportune time to rid the animals of them, and give them a chance to recuperate. Such an Interior cleanout also reduces the number of once a month through the year, and th#4ppited lambs have made better growth and grown more wool than that were not treated. At the age of (She hundred and twenty days, treated lambs have averaged 00 pounds each. Other worms of sheep are hard to get rid of, Vat carbon tetrachloride gives promise of, being effective for many of them. In the case of swine, oil of chenopodlum in doses of one dram for 100- pound pigs, and other doses in proportion, will remove the large round worms from the small Intestine. A dose should be accompanied with one to four ounces of castor-oil. This treatment Is given with a dfose syringe. Although worm treatments are given to hogs in a great many cases in capsules with a capsule gun, there Is considerable danger that owing to the peculiar anatomy of the pig's pharynx a capsule will be put In the wrong place. A greHt many hogs, say veterinarians In the Department of Agriculture, have been killed In this way. Treatment for Poultry. • treatment frequently used for round worms In poultry is made up by soaking a pound of finely chopped tobacco stems in water for two hours and thea mixing the stems and the water with half the usual mash ration. This amount Is for 300 birds. The feed which Is mixed with the tobacco Is given after fasting the birds for 24 hours, as usually they will not eat It otherwise. So far no recommendation can be made for ridding bens of other intestinal parasites. A word of caution Is necessary as Djtft Animals of Thia Kind Doing Hard Work During Summer Season « Are Entitled to Some Cars During Winter. Some Trimmed With Fur these outside or outdoor blouses are trimmed with fur In the most fascinating manner. There are bands of fur about the hips, and there are bands of fur across the sleeves, wide or narrow, as the case may be. Then, there Is often a fur collar. After all this fur trimming has been applied you have something which looks more like a coat than It does like a blouse, and which, at the same time. Is 2'^ht enough for wear during Ihe between-season months which, in a climate of this sort last for s good part of the year. Another advantage In this sort of costume is that it can be tucked under a top coat when the cooler days come along, and after that outer wrapping Is removed you are clothed In something that has every semblance of being a dress. So, you see, you cannot make any mistake about purchasing one of these blouses. They promise to last through a great many months and will be as good for one purpose as another. If yon wish to have your own blouses made, you can find the hfcndsomes t sorts of materials irilfc sKofil They have silk surfaces and wool backs. They are covered with embroidery; they are a mass of machine stitching making intricate and interesting patterns. They are rich and luxurious In many ways and have every semblance of being either blouses or coats according to the demands of the activities of your day. Then there are the printed sUka. They are much more beautifully patterned than they have been at any time during the past. Also, they are done on heavier qualities of silks. For these dresses you need nothing at all except the silk itself. It Is sufficient , to make the design that Is needed, but It needs to be handled In an artistic^ and thoughtful way in order that It shall show to Its fill and best advantage. « Jester Founded Great Hospital. St. Bartholomew's hospital, in London, was founded by the epatt jestar of Henry L chances of reinfection on the pastores the following spring. Winter Is a rest from relnfestatlon, but because animals have to resist adverse weather conditions It is doubly advisable to get rid of all parasites, to give the anlnuils an opportunity to use their feed In maintaining body temperature and In putting on fat or producing milk. There are probably hundreds of treatments recommended by various persons for worms, bote, and other parasites, most of which are useless or very nearly so. However, there are certain treatments that have been proved by experiment to be effective for certain parasites. It has been found that hots can be removed from horses by the use of carbon bisulphide. It Is given in six-dram doses, in capsules,- and a purgative is unnecessary. The horse Is usually kept off feed for 24 hours before the capsule is given. This treatment will also get the big round worms that frequently Infest the small Intestine. To get rid of the round worms thst are found In the large Intestines, use oil of cbenopodlum (oil of American worm seed) In <goses of 4 to 4% drams, with a quart of raw linseed oil or an aloes ball. So far veterinarians have very little to ssy about the treatment of internal parasites in cattle. Not a great deal of work has been done along this line, but copper sulphate has been found of some use as a treatment for stomach worms. Control Stomach Worms. This copper-sulphste treatment for •tomsch worms Is very effective In the control of stomach worms In sheep. A 1 per cent solution In water Is the strength usually employed. Three fluid ounces of the 1 per cent solution Is sufficient for yearlings and older sheep, and ltt ounces for lambs three months old and older. At the bureau of animal Industry farm at Vienna, VaJ, this treatment is given to the use of remedies tot parasites, which applies as well to medicinal treatment generally. Medicinal treatment for parasites and other conditions should be given only by or under the direction of properly qualified and Competent persons, otherwise serious damage may be done to valuable animals and little or no benefit result from the treatment.

Experiments Being Conducted With Various Fruits and Vegetables [ \ Liable to Freesing in dllng or on Market (Prepared by the United Statee Department of AJ:rlcultur«.) The freesing points of a large variety of vegetables and fruits, which are likely to be subjected to freezing conditions during harvesting, handling, or marketing, have been tbe object of apecial studies in the bureau of plant industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. Between 15,000 and 20,000 determinations have been made, including the freezing points of 25 varieties of apples, 22 kinds of strawberriea, 18 varieties of potatoes, 19 different types of sweet potatoes, 19 tomato varieties, and many varieties of cherries, grspes, peaches, plums, blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, and some cut flowers, particularly peonies, roses, and lilies. Besides this general study, the work Is being continued with the principal fruits and vegetables which are liable to be In danger of freezing either in transit or on tbe market. In this work the methods of detecting freezing injury, the rate at which fruits and vegetables freeze In constant low temperatures are determined. The freezing points were determined for 18 standard varieties of Irish potatoes^ grown under the same cultural conditions, harvested at the same time, •nd stored at the same temperatures. <;V - ,i'3. The freezing point apparently varies with the variety and shows a tendency to vary with the family group. It has been shown that potatoes can frequently be exposed to temperatures much below their freezing points If they are not disturbed until the temperature is again above tbe freesing point PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY Uas Limestone and Phosphate and Flaw Under Green Muti% Especially Clover. Produce your own nitrogen for fertility Instead of buying it. Do thia by using limestone and phosphate and by plowing under green manure, especially sweet clover, red clover or winter vetch. This is the basis of tbe Illinois system of permanent soli fertility. A. L. Whiting and W. R. Schoonover, at the Illinois station, found that such crops plowed under In April or May decompose with sufficient rapidity so that their nitrogen becomes available for corn or other crops the same year. Temperature and moisture determine the time when nitrate production in the soil win take place. The amount of nitrate that can be produced in the soil depends upon soil treatment. The decomposing sweet ot red clover may furnish as high as 96 pounds of nitrate nitrogen per acre, or twice as much as < >rn may take up In its critical growing period between June 25 and July 15. "Stable manure does not furnish nitrate so rapidly nor in such large amounts aa green nure, and should be applied as as possible to corn planting time.1* X ^ Mrs. W. L.
