ocial Many Little 1iintq That Will be ProblemS Found Valuable By ELIZABETH BIDDLE EN, because of the exactions of their business, are allowed to pay their social calls on Sunday afternoons and during the evenings of the week. No man calls upon a woman except at her invitation, miiuless he has previously sent her a letter of introduction. lie pays his first call preferably on her formal receivilg day, lod if Ie is unable to command the leisure for an afternoon call he may ignore fashion and call in the eveninug, about iiin 0'clock. In making a call a man usually leaves his overcoat, stiel< 'r iinnbrella, lat aid gloves in the hall before entering the drawing room, lie may, if Ie chooses, carry his hat and stick into the room at a first or formal call, if it is to be very brief. Ile should put his card on the hall table or on the tray offered him '-y the servaitt who opens the door. lie shoul always remove the rigit glove before lie otTers his hand t t histess. t2The hostess, of course, oll'ors her hand first, and uitil sht does so I mln solmd Ierely bow formally to all preseit.

A 11111 never st hakes hals when presen ted to a woman, uniless tile Wom11an,1 offers to do so, but always when introduecd to a man. A nain is never invited to dile where he has not pre viously called. A call after each invitation is the civility demanded by good form. and a Card should be left in persn the day after a dinner, Inncheon or Ieak fast. No m1an ever ing; a frieiil to call upon a woman without having previously asked her permission. No yo ung girl visitor Shouli receive calls from the melt whom she I' knrows without asking her host or hostess to be present, leaving the optiori with tlei, and sIe should not invie I a man to visit her without first ask ing permission of her hostess. .I f a womai is behind her ten table site ied not rise to greet a mar caller, but bow, ofler his li al, and gracefilly iclide hi i ill the coinver sft ion, introdwing him to those iear 1er.

COLLIES MADE VERY USEFUL Animals Can Easily Be Taught to Go Long Distances Into Pastures or Woods for Cows. We do not think collies are danger ous with children. We have raised two farm puppies and they became flrm companions for the children and we never knew them to snap at the little ones or show a disposition to 3 harm them, says a writer in an ex change. Collies are very useful on the farm. They can easily be taught to go alone long distances if neces sary Into the pastures or woods for the cows, bringing then home night and muoruing for milking. It is far kV A Well-Bred Collie. ILpleasanter to send a dog for them. especially on a wet stormy morning than to walk a mile or so for tihe ani mals or to hiro a nmn to do It. The Benefit of Wood Ashes. I had one-eighth of an acre on a pravelly knoll, which bore only Jiune grass, very small and thin at that, says a writer in an exchange. I put on three barrels of w~oodl ashes and clover' started1 well. The next year I put on more a'shes and had a fair crop of clover. I plut the ashes dIi rectly on the turf. A man bought a farm of some1 fifty acres adjoining mIne, and as the old1 sayin~g is "could nt raise beanis." It' could( only keep) oneC cow andl a horse the first year, but. ho made what mannure lhe could( an~d Put on about four barrels oi ashes to the acre. Ile followed this for three or four years and d uring is -six years' stay he bought ablout $23 worth of manure.

RYE AND RAPE CATCH CR61PS Sown Just Before Cultivating Corn Last Time in July-Value as Fertilizer $8 Per Acre. (y J. N. CLOVI-R. Pennsylvania.) Of the crops which I sowed ahead of the cultivator at -.he last cultiva tion of corn and potatoes to get a growth to turn under in the spring and to protect the land from winter washing, rye and Dwarf Essex rape were nost satisfactory. IRye was sown one year when the potatoes were taken out in Septem ber, and a heavy sod It made to turn under for oats in April. Another year rye was sown on corn stubble after the corn was cut at the rate of one and one-quarter bushels per ace, and it made a fair cover crop, which I know prevented washing, though the ground was har rowed only twice before drilling in the seed. I should judge Its value as a fer tilizer Is about six dolArs. per acre, Ind the seed costs only seven cents per pound. Some of the rape was wreen all winter, and persons secig .he growth it had made in the stand ng corn were surpriscd, while the ;rowth of cow peas in the same field vas not encouragiug. Crimson clover s a good catch crop, if one can secure I stand, and it lives through the win er. Itape is the best crop for me. -onsidering the cost of seed and its ertilizing value, and rye is very good, speelally when It is to be tarmed mider for potatoes, or one wishes to )asture it in the fall.

The end boards are held in place with stakes at two corners so that one side is movable and may be left out until the shed Is partly filled. The 'shed prevents leaching where it is not convenient to haul it to the field immediately after it is made. Pieplant Easy to Grow. Pieplant is easily produced in a commercial wvay, yields immensely, and is easily gather-ed and Put into shape for the mar-ket. It can be shippled almost any distance. Then, too, the demand for it on the market makes it one of the two best vege tables for commiercial use. P'ieplant ia usually set in rows four feet apar-t andl two and one-hat feet in the r-ows. Like aspar-agus it should be carefully tended and heavily manur-ed. It should be fertilized every winter. Will Return Profit.

Saco, Me.-Save one, the only American in a vast room among thou sands of those who speak no word of EInglish and where the stridor of ma chinery dins her ears from daylight 'to dark, Mrs. Melissa Hlodgdon, at seventy-ilve, the oldest weaver of cloth in America, has just completed her fifty-lifth year of work in the cot 'on mill of the York Manufacturing company here.

Mrs. lodgdon has seen the cotton business change frorw a struggling lit tle industry, hampered by poor ma chinery and even by a dearth of cot ton caused by the Civil war, to per haps the greatest activity of New England, and one of the greatest in the United States. When she began her work the cotton loom was little different from the hand loom which had been in use since antiquity. At that time thero were many hand looms still in use. Mrs. Hodgdon says she does Dot remember whether she ever used a hand loom, but says she knew weavert in Canada who were then using them.

As the professor was uncom Iunly diflident, he said to her: "Emily, my dear, you must speak to him for me. I could not summon courage to speak to the professor on this subject."
