THOSE PROBATE CASES.
Hartford Awoke in Time and Has
 Blocked the Game.

The dispatches printed during the week that D. Preston Atwood was bringing suits promiscuously to re- cover penalties under the statute for neglect of administrators, executors or trustees So file inventories of the es- tates ill their charge within q specified time caused good deal of interest in Hartford also, says the Courant, and that interest will be further increased when 1t is known that Deputy Sheriff George Senk has big batch of writs that he is going to serve on Hartford people to-day. He served a number ill New Britain yesterday.
 Yesterday afternoon Probate Judge H. B. Freeman passed what may be termed general dissolution order and which, it is hoped, will prevent Hart ford people being forced to pay up anything.
 The following is copy of Judge Freeman's order:
 At court of probate holden at Hartford i'll and for the district of Hartford. on the eleventh day of May, 1904.

PLANTING SHADE TREES.

When planting shade trees, small
trees that have uniform heads are bet
ter than large heads. 1t is difficult
to remove large trees from the soil
with roots enough to support them
the first season. Quite often the tree
has grown where it has been crowded
by other trees, which has caused 1t to
grow without any side branches. When
such trees are pruned to grow ahead
of the right height, there Is nothing
left but stub, with scarcely twig
on it, and large scar at the top to
start decay, and furnish u place for
borers to begin destruction of the tree.
The growth of branches will be sprouts
attached to the sapwood only, instead
Of seated to the heart like the natural
branches. This leaves the tree an
easy prey to wind storms, as the
branches are liable to split from the
body Of the tree. Trees that are grown
In nursery or an open forest, that
have heads that need but little prun-
ing. are cheaper at n dollar than large
spindllng trees that have to be thor
oughly denuded of branches to get
them in shape. IL furnished free.-J. Ii.

Glover Hay For Poultry.

One of the best green foods for poul
try during the winter is clover hay
and when one can readily grow clover
and knows how to cure 1t. 1t is much
cheaper crop to raise than vegetables
for the purpose OF supplying green
food. Poultry thrive on 1t and it GER
tainly increases the egg production.
One plan is to cut the clover when II
is In full bloom. doing the work late
in the day when there is promise OF
fine weather for several days. The
next morning the swath is gone over
with the tedder and again later in the
day so that all of It has chance to
become dry. 1t Is then raked into
small windrows and left for two or
three hours when It is taken into the
barn and packed in the tight NOW. be-
Ing left there with the doors OF the
barn closed to heat.
After it is heated another lot may be
put In the NOV to go through the same
process Almost every farmer has a
way of his own Of curing clover and
any way which will give results is de-
sirable the object being TO have
bright hay to feed during the winter,
Bear in mind that the hay must not be
put under cover until 1t Is dry enough,
yet, ON the other hand, it must not be
SO dry that the leaves and blossoms
will be lost in handling.

Appropriate. the thin wash silks, the
long list of lawns and batistes and, for
cooler days, the very attractive and SER
viceable thin woods.
The jacket Is made with fronts and
backs and is shaped by means of shoul-
der and under-arm seams. The backs
ire cut off at the waist, giving bolero
effect, but the fronts form long points
which can be allowed to hang or be
knotted at the waist as preferred. The
collar is the big square one preferred
for garments Of the sort, and the
sleeves are loose and wide, cut to form
points at their lower edge.

three yards thirty-two inches wide

BEAUTY OF EXPRESSION.

It is often the plain men and women
who inspire the deepest and most
lasting affection, and this is probably
due to the fact that their play and
power of facial expression not only
atone for ther lack Of regular beauty,
but reveal such an attractive side that
no more charm is needed to captlvate
a lover.
A hundred pleading letters, dozens of
entreatlng messages, will leave heart
unmoved, whereas one pathetic, yearn-
ing look from a pair of soulful eyes
will break down the barrier that was,
and may be, threatening to divide two
lives.
A scornful, imperceptible curl of a
pretty lip, intercepted flash of malice
or a vindlctive glance from bright
eyes, will throw new and disquiet-
ing light upon the character of man
or woman.-Philadelph Ledger.

Most of the French sailors have

Oddly shaped crowns are prominent

ing their greatest width from side to

Shirring done over soft cord and

yoke is a very new bodice garniture.
Some of the sleeves are fashioned
dolman-like, having but the opening
for the arm, while the loose drapery
falls from the shoulder, taking the
place of a sleeve.
New colors are continually making
their debuts, and many of them are
really charming, though majority are
unattractively named. There Is the
new onion color, for instance.
Orange, by the way. is one of the
very best of the relieving colors, but
it must be used skilfully. Toned down
with black and white, it combines with
almost any of the dark or neutral tint
ed stuffs, and 1t is used with good
effect in combination with many of the
light tints.
Batlste brilliant is an exquisite thin
material. with crisp, yet soft sur.
face, and satin finish. Some charm
ing patterns were seen the other day
fashions are to be studied. They had
small white dots and a tiny flower
pattern in blue. pinks and mauves.
Little girls frocks would be very
pretty in this material.
Children's shirt waists to be worn
with the shoulder strap skirt are Of
various materials, but undoubtedly the
most stylish are those of white linen.
These can be made up with plain box
pleats or with any amount of hand
work. Quite wide collars and cuffs
with buttonhole edge are very pretty.
and feather stitching or tiny vine em-
broidery can be used effectively.
The serviceable leghorn has given
place to the larger and more fancy
garden hat for children's wear. These
are prettily trimmed with wreath;
and when small bows are introduced
to tie the flowers, the effect is of small
bouquets laid around the rim. The in
side brim of some of these hats Is
heavily puffed with chiffon and lace.
while others are quite plain. A small
V-shaped wire extends on one of the
undersides of the rim to give the hat
graceful droop toward the shoulder.

being mulched late in the fan. One
point is to cut out some Of the wood
from the centre, to admit air and
sunlight. which will partially serve
as n preventive of mildew.
The best season for setting an
orchard is just as soon as the winter
breaks and the ground can be handled.
Be careful not to freeze the roots.
Ground can be handled wetter in win
ter and in very early spring than later
in the season, for 1t will not pack or
bake then, as it does later, but it is
preferable, especially in clay soils to
have the ground in proper condition,
not too wet. as there is danger of
baking the ground around the roots
of the trees. We have set trees in the
fall, winter, and as late in the spring
as May, when large apple trees were in
bloom and the early varieties of fruit
were leaving out. 1t is best to set the
trees as soon as possible after being
taken from the nursery row.
If any of the roots are badly injured

the roots should be carefully examined

trees. II you want permanent
orchard you should set healthy trees.
l cannot too strongly emphasize the
idea that deep planting makes root
rot" Nature starts the roots on trees
from the surface of the ground, and We
should plant them the same way.
Place some of the best surface earth
carefully around the roots, and after
llling the hole pack the earth tight
and closely around the tree TO prevent
the winds from shaking it until the
roots get started.
Plant tree that Is healthy and Wig
orous. A crown graft will usually
make a stronger and more vigorous
growth than a graft on smaller piece
of the same root. as it is larger and
has more vitality. Different varieties
of trees grated on whole or piece roots
will form tops according to the charac-
teristlcs Of the scion, and the same is
true of the roots-some form a tap
root. others will not. You can graft
a Genet on piece or whole root Of
it is practical to graft on whole root
and it will form its own tap root, with
out regard to the piece root or whole
root on which it is grated. So the
Winesap will form spreading root no
matter on what kind of root its scion
Is grafted.-s. A. Haseltlne. in Farm
