There is reason for believing that
the orchard needs fertilizing even
more than the ordinary field crops. A
part of the fertilizing element of the
latter is returned to the soil each
year. The plant food that is taken up
in the orchard is taken away from
the soil forever. None is returned to
1t. 1t is estimated that in a single
season an acre of apple trees will draw
from the soil 40 pounds of nitrogen, 80
pounds of phosphoric acid and 72
pounds of potash. These must be re-
turned or the productiveness of the
orchard will be lost.-Farmers' Re-

BUILDING UP A HERD.
How 1t Was Done, and Most Success-
fully, Too, by n Dairyman
In Ireland.

An instructive illustration of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows NAV
be developed by careful selection is
afforded by some details recently given
publicity to in connection with prom
inent herd on the other side of the
channel. About a dozen years ago the
milk of all the cows comprised in this
herd-over 60 in nun ber-was careful
ly analyzed. Nine of the cows were
found to be yielding milk showing over
per cent. of butter fat, % were
yielding over Az per cent, IA were
yielding over 4 per cent. and 23 were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward calves were only kept
off the cows which yielded milk show
ing over AZ per cent. of butter fat,
and the tribes of the others were grad
ualiy weeded out. BY the aid of
regularly kept milk record the prod
uct of every COW is known, and none
is kept for any length of time which
does not yield over 600 gallons per an
mum. By combining what is learned
from the analysis and the milking rec
ord and only keeping calves from cows
whose produce is up to the standard,
alike in quantity and quality, the
milking properties of the cows have
been so improved that at present over
60 per cent. of its members are yield
ing milk showing over per cent. and
rs per cent. are yielding milk showing
over AZ per cent. of butter fat. This
result has only been attained by the
exercise OF great care and scrupulous
attention in the selection of bulls, and
no sire is used without every inquiry
being made as to the milking records
of his female ancestry.--Dublin Ore

EDUCATE THE CALF.
How to Feed the Young Animal So
That 1t VIII Develop Into a
Good Dairy Cow.

In his address at the Indiana State
Dairy association, says Farm News,
Mr.. Goodrich stated that educating an
animal to become a good dairy COW
must begin with the young calf. Mus
cle-forming food should be fed, such as
bran, oil meal, skim milk, etc. Educate
the calf to eat muscle-forming food
as much as possible. Begin to feed the
calf with skim milk and a spoonful or
two of oil meal, then give few whole
oats to follow. Nice clover hay should
be available. Feed skim milk six
months or so. He wants an animal to
come in milk at two years. Give the
heifer good box stall and plenty of
straw to calve in. After calving give
her warm water-not cold. Take calf
away gradually, say in two or three
days. After calving feed for awhile
only little grain, and then depend
mostly on bran. After two weeks YOU
can begin to feed to full capacity.
Feed variety. 1t is desirable to have
a balanced ration as nearly as can be.
Quotations were given from the Wis
consin bulletin of 100 feeding rations,
SHOWING now some SO-ca lleU success
full feeders combined dairy cattle foods.
Mr.. Goodrich has found a production of
two pounds of coarse food to one of con-
centrated as most satisfactory. Succu-
lent foods are important. OF VOLTS 100
feeders, 65 fed ensilage and two roots.
If we cannot have green grass, we
should feed either ensilage or roots. 1t
has paid Mr. Goodrich TO feed n little
bran or corn meal in summer. His cows
produced so pounds more of butter per
animal the summer when fed grain
than they did the summer before when
no grain was fed. His grain cost five
dollars, and $13 was derived from the
butter, showing good balance in favor
of the grain. Do not feed every cow
alike. Mr.. Goodrich's standard feed is
30 pounds silage, five pounds clover
hay, five pounds corn stover, eight
pounds wheat bran and two pounds
cotton seed meal. Tighten up on the
feed of some COWS and increase on 9TH
ers. If she gives more milk by more
feeding, increase

SCIENCE OF THE TOILET.
How the Women of To-day Manage
to Preserve Youthful Appear
ance for Decades.

The modern maiden has learned in
an exquisite way the science of the
care of her person; she does not early
acquire wrinkles, neither does she lose
her hair, nor so early have to bear the
signs of advancing years by its turn
ing gray. The secret, for such it is.
of this preservation is one that all
women should know; 1t surely is more
charming for the world to gaze upon
fresh youthful fGce than upon a shriv-
eled one, and upon an abundance OF
locks than upon too scanty growth
10 even cover the head. Begin the day
with cold or tepid sponge bath, fol-
lowed by a vigorous rubbing with
rough towel. This starts the circula-
ton into almost a bound and does
much to preserve the plumpness Of
face, neck end arms, beside rendering
colds almost impossible. An occasion
al hot bath with plenty of good soap,
followed by sponging in cold water,
is taken at night, bu: not more fire.
Quently than twice a week, as hot
baths are eneryating and encourage a
loose, fabby condition of the skin.
After the hot bath at night cold cream
or lanolin is rubbed vigorously into the
face or, if there are signs of yellow
kpots, zinc oxide ointment Is substi-
tuted. The face is washed each mCrn<
ing with handfuls of hot water, then
Immediately with cold water, thus
stirring the circulation and aiding in
keeping the muscles plump. The face
Is then rubbed gently up and down and
across with both hands-a dry wash,
In fact-rubbing particularly any
wrinkling across the forehead. This
is the ironingout of the face, prepara-
tory to the appearance for the day.
Wrinkles develop by lack of supple
mess and plumpness of the skin, and
they may be kept at bay many years
by careful massage. The hair receives
especial attention on the part of the
assduous maiden, and particular care
is paid to the roots, for one should
know that if they are healthy the
growth will be satisfactory. And she
wears her hair much more loosely
than does her less diligent companion.
dor she believes that the air greatly
preserves It's growth. Each day the
hair is separated at the roots and the
air allowed to freely circulate through
1t. 1t is serious error to worship the
brush, and treat the scalp in such
way as to weaken and kill the roots.
For victims of the brush it is easy
TO point to many men, who daily brush
and brush-the sitter the implement
the better. Badness is the certain
outcome. A fne-toothed comb is like
wise stunned as an enemy to the roots
of the hair. In warm weather it is
prudent to wash the hair with
preparation containing alcohol, which
dries the scalp and renders perspira-
tion less profuse, this unpleasant fea
ture of the summer affecting the roots
of the hair most alarmingly. Very
oily hair is washed with a shampoo
containing sulphur, while a very dry
scalp is treated TO a light application
of cream or lanolin.-Edna S. Wither-
spoon, in Butterick's Delineator.

Under one edge place 4 friction roller

nected to a tumbling rod (d). This rod
may be geared to the machinery at
will. Lead horse, COW, goat, sheep or
other animal onto the platform and
as it walks leisurely on the platform
just over the friction roller, power is
developed. In one described to me as
running a two-man and four-girl wood
working shop in Massachusetts, 70 years
ago, the edge of the platform only
projected into the shop. On this edge,
inside the shop, stall was built. A lit
tie black COW, hitched to the manger,

them; the little shop throve, and all

ORCHARD AND GAR..NEN.

Vigorous thrifty, but low, q, :, at trees
are preferable to tall, slender ones for
transplanting.
Examine newly-set trees and see that
the lands left on them are not so tight
as to injure the trees.
In the fall is IA good time to set out
rhuharb and asparagus plants. Every
garden should have good bed.
If there is too much top, the tree
overbears, the tree is small and de-
fective and the crop difficult to gather.
Pears to do their best must be fed and
the soil well drained, strong and reten-
tive. Locality should determine the va
riety.
Peach stocks, which continue to grow
freely may be budded as long as the
bark peels freely for the insertion of the
buds.
A good mulch keeps down weeds and
renders the soil loose and moist at all
times, and lessons the labor of cultiva-
ton.
While old trees are often made more
fruitful by severe pruning, young,
thrifty trees are often injured by the
same treatment.
Prune out all the useless shoots IN
young fruit trees the growth of which
is about completed. No injurious check
will be given the trees.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out from the currants
and gooseberries. They will produce

FASHIONS FOR BABY.
Daintiness Is the Chief Feature to Rs
Considered In the Making of
His Clothes.

Fashions in babies clothes seem
rather amusing, but there are changes
each new season in the manner and
details of the making. AS far as the
| outlay of money goes, there is hardly
a limit to the amount it is possible to
spend, but daintiness is the chief fea-
ture to be considerations the par
ents' circumstances and common sense
should surely limit the expenditure.
From six to ten long dresses COM
pose the usual outfit, some of them
simply made, some elaborately
trimmed. 1t is now the fashion to
change the little ones from long to
short clothes at as early an age as
four months. French nainsook is the
favorite material for the finer dresses.
just now the inevitable yoke in the
baby's gown is cut square, not quite
extending over to the arm size, and
edged with a frill and beading. For
the filing in of the yoke there are
two pretty ways, both equally popu-
lar. One is rows of hens stitched tucks
running from the neck downward, the
other alternate rows of lace and en-
broidery Insertions, the embroide res
being often almost as fine and as trans
parent al the lace.
A pretty bib has a scalloped upper
edge of shaped silk, trimmed on both
upper and lower edges by a full deep
ruffie of silk lace. The upper rart is
hand embroidered, and between the
outer and inner bib is placed tufted
silk heart-shaped pad of silk. Another
is made from a fine linen mstitched
handkerchief, folded diagonally-the
upper point is cut out V shape and
embro;dered-and both edges lace
trimmed.
Night gowns are made from fine fan
mel or outing and have a drawing
string around the neck. Petticoats
are of fine flannel and button on each
shoulder by two tiny buttons instead
of down the back.
Little caps of lawn show much shir>
ring and cording, and some, specially
those of embroidered muslin. have a
| lining of pale shade of thin silk.
The most fashionable thing in ba-
bies shoes and stockings, for wear
WIN AIlt III 81 ShOl are Bi W
suede shoes and stockings matching
exactly in color.
Pretty coats of bedford cord have
| deep circular ruffles trimmed with
| guipure LACE edging. In shorter coats,
pretty model in pique has very deep
rounding collar trimmed entirely with
rows of Hamburg edging alternated
| by rows of satin ribbon.
| A design in a bedford cord short
coat has three deep circular capes,
each one edged with guipure lace.
| For the basket covering, sheer white
lawn over pink or blue is the latest,
the point d'esprit being also used. The
ruffie is trimmed with lace and rows
of baby ribbon and the jennings and
seams are finished by a narrow lace
| beading through which is run ribbon.
