EARLY FIELD CORN. A Brief Report of h Trst of Some of the Bent Varieties. Last season un effort was made to find out tbe earliest field corn on the farm of Editor Carmen of The Rural New Yorker. The varieties tried were Waterloo Extra Early, Whitecap Early Dent, Joe Waite, Early Liutler, Smoked Flint, White’s Mammoth, Iowa Beauty, all from Philadelphia; Bristol 100 Day, from Philadelphia, and the Conqueror, from Minneapolis. All except the Conqueror were planted in drills on May 17 four feet apart and about a foot apart in the drills, the soil being an impover-

LOW GO-D LACE THREAD IS MADE. A Silk tJadtrthread mi<l Only s Tliln Uotil Coaling. The thread of which gold lace is made consists of a deep yellow or orange colored silk, gilded in such a manner that it retains sufficient flexibility to undergo the operation of weaving. This is effected by a process called "fiber plating,” carried out in the following manner: A rod of silver is gilded by simply pressing and burnishing leaves of gold upon it. This gilded silver is then drawn through a sories of holes of decreasing diameter into a wire so fine that one ounce is extended the length of 1,000 yards. It is then flattened l<etwoen polished steel rollers ami further extended, so that a mile and a quarter weighs but one ounce. For this last drawing the wire is passed through rnby dies. The film of gold upon the flattened wire is much thinner than beaten gold leaf and lias frequently been quoted as an example of the divisibility of matter, one inch of the wire containing but the eighty-millionth part of an ounce of gold, while one ounce of gold covers more than 100 miles of wire. This flattened gilded wire is then wound over the silk so as to inclose it completely and produce an apparently gold en thread. It is estimated that L’50,000 ounces of gold thread are annually made iu Great Britain.

ing.

The first named began to glaze on Aug. 27. Bristol 100 Day began to glaze on Aug. 28. Whitecap Early Dent was a few days later. Joe Waite was ripe on Aug. 30. Early Butler was no earlier to mature than the preceding. White’s Mammoth began to glazo on Ang. 30. Iowa Beauty developed two objections. It is late, and the ears are borne so high that the plants would lodge during ordinary storms. Smoked Flint proved different from any corn heretofore grown by Mr. Carmen. The main stem is slender, growing from six to seven feet. But there are six or more shorter leafy stalks growing only two feet high—all from one seed, forming a sort of dwarf bush, with a taller central stem. There are from two to throe ears to every plant, and these are bojno near the soil or iu the bush portion o’f the plant. The oars are long—12 inches or over—about eight to ten rows, which are often more or less separated. The kernels are of medium size, broad, but not deep, of a yellowish color and 58 to 60 to a row. The cob is too small and long to be shelled without breaking. It is the earliest of any to mature, being fully ripe on Aug. 23. or 100 days. It strikes Mr. Carmen that this Smoked Flint ought to be a most valuable variety for ensi-

lage.

The Conqueror is another variety which Mr. Carmen suggests be given a

NEW BROOCHES. watches invested with so much charm. It is a pleasure to see how tho hour flies. Not alone aro tho backs decorated, but the dials aro set round with

gems.

A decided novelty, which marks a new era in jewel setting, is ono employing the same combination of shades upon which la mode smiles. These shades aro effected by the introduction of colored enamels and colored gems or fancy stones. Nowhere is this combination of colors more charmingly displayed than on tho cases of chatelaine watches. Rubies, diamonds and sapphires all unite to glorify tho watch, which oftentimes shows a dial of iridescent enamel in a halo of gems. The turquoise is tho idol of the hour. It is becoming more and more fashionable. The delicate, tender color of this comparatively inexpensive gem is refining in effect and takes on a quiet elegance when its beauty and worth are enhanced with an association of brilliants. But tho turquoise, favorite though it be, is not permitted to have things all its own W’ay. The long neglected opal disputes its supremacy, and freed from the superstition of ill omen that so long clung to it divides favor with the popular blue stone. There are a few designs in gem jewelry that appear never to wane in popularity. The star pattern never sets, but appears every season in new aspects. And such a constellation is devoutly desired by society women, either to form a brilliant garniture for a ball gown or a sparkling decoration for tho hair. Jewelry is influenced by tho wheel of fashion. The revival of a bygone mode brings ornaments of that period into a temporary vogue. The picturesque intrudes just now into our costumes, and those appareled in garments invested with tho charms of the Louis XVI period require picturesque gnin set buckles, combs and buttons.

Needing: Clover on Grains.

No. 34 bulletin from tho Minnesota station is of interest to farmers in the spring wheat regions. Tho first part of this bulletin deals with seeding with clover (A) different kinds of grains. The results show the superiority of wheat over oats ns a nurse crop for clover, a difference of a ton per acre in favor of the clover seeded with wheat. According to this bulletin, clover hay cut at tho time of full blopm contains tho largest quantity of nitrogenous materials in thu most valuable food forms, while clover cut at the end of the flowering contains the largest quantity of dry matter, which is poorer iu tho valuable nitrogenous compounds. Artichoke® For Rongji T,nwl. At the ^Oklahoma station artichokes yielded at the rate of a ton per acre. Few plants are so productive with little or no attention whatever. As they are not injured by the mild cold of this rection, they will not ho dug, but iu the spring hogs will be turned in to compiete feeding experiments made with other cheap foods. Farmers having rough lands iu the bends of ^ < ks thou Id by all means try a patch of arti-

Hour to ICHthnat© the Value of tx Pearl. The beauty and value of pearls depend on their color, form, texturo(skin), transparency (water) and luster. A pearl to be perfect must possess the following qualifications: It must be perfectly round or drop shaped, have a perfectly pure white color, must bo slightly transparent, free from specks, spots or blemishes and must possess tho peculiar luster characteristic of thu gem. A perfect pearl of one grain weight is worth from 40 to 50 cents, while ono of 3u grains is worth from $400 to $500. Round pearls above this weight aro so rave that they command exceptional prices, depending on the circumstances of the sale to bring almost any figure. In India and China tho yellow pearls are preferred.

A novelty of ingenious detail is a diamond brooch formed of 1S!)5. Less sumptuous affairs trace tho same figures iu gold and silver cord. While tiio sigiit of a tine gem never fails to arouse a woman’s enthusiasm, there are nevertheless many women possessing jewels who aro ignorant of the art of wearing them. In spite of tho recent fashion of wearing diamonds by daylight, good tasto demands that they should bo minutely present, if present at all, and then only when you have a function of some magnitude to attend in the afternoon, a drive in the park or a bidden guest to receive in your boudoir. Light, however, is not the only consideration. Season and locality have to be taken into account. It is impossible to lay down a law what to wear and when to wear it in the matter of jewels. Thu Well bnd know liy instinct. The others learn from observation of tho socially fittest, it should always be remembered, however, that to abstain is better than to exceed tho limit Given tho right occasion, one fhould never produce tho impression of being bedizened, else thero will surely be lack of harmony between the individual items of tho display.
