. The Spring Fashions.

In the spring fashions it is interest
ing to see the two varying types of
skirts which will be worn. There is
the trotteur skirt, one inch from the
ground and shorter, which is the ack-
knowledged fashionable skirt for gen.
eral everyday knock-about wear. Aad
then there is the soft, full, trailing
skirt for dress occasions, with it's in
PRODUCTION of piaits and shirrs and
gathers. With the short skirt it is
imperative that the foot has an up-to-
date appearance, and every girl who
wears the walking skirt knows this
and is acting accordingly. That's why
shoes are interesting her more than
ever before. The new Oxford tie Is
made without a tongue this spring.
1t is of kid or patent leather, with a
sensible, prettily shaped Cuban heel,
and ribbons are used instead Of shoe
lacings. Some of these ties have but
four big eyelets-two on either side
of the shoe-and the ribbon used is
wide and ties in q big bow.-Woman's

Earrings Worn Again.

The wearing Of earrings is custom
that should be adopted with caution
and the form of the earrings left very
much to the individual taste Of the
wearer- They have never quite gone
out Of fashion, and they certainly have
not quite come in. A tall woman can
wear longer styles than a short one,
and perhaps the increased height of
the English women will give an i'm
petus to the wearing of longer ear
rings.
Americans have a great prediction
for them. Parisians are fitful in their
appreciation. At present it is pearls
and diamonds that are most worn. and
some women are wearing odd ones, a
white pearl in one ear and a pink one
In the other. or a white and a black
one. Pear-shaped pearls are well suit
ed to earrings. Studs of colored stones,
quite minute. are a favorite style of
fashionable earrings

Old Milk and Cream,

AS summer is coming and with 1t
the conditions that make it difficult to
keep milk for several days, the farm.
ers' wife should use greater precau-
tions to keep the milk and cream
pure when butter is to be made from
them. One of the great reasons why
farm made butter is not generally as
good as that made in the creameries
IS that farm cream is kept too long
before being churned. A butter
maker of experience says that the
churning should be done every day
If the best butter is to be obtained,
but that every other day will give
fairly good butter. However, we know
that 1t is the common practice on
some OF our farms to churn once a
week both in summer and winter.
Much of the cream is too sour, espe-
cially in summer, when the days are
hot and the facilities for keeping it
are not of the best. Even with ideal
coolers and with ice it would not be
an easy matter to keep cream a week
and have 1t in good condition for
the making Of butter. The man with
only two or three cows has a particu-
larly hard time of it to make butter
that Is good.
Sometimes cream that is very old
Is put into the churn to save it, with
the result that the flavor of the whole
churning is spoiled. 1t would have
paid far better to have given the too
sour cream to the pigs or to have
used it in some other way. Our but
termakers have found out by long
experience that it is very possible to
have too much acidity in the cream
out Of which butter is to be made.

Canadian Cheese Inspection.

Canadian Cheese Inspection.
The province of Ontario has 1000
cheese factories. Sixteen travelling
cheese instructors are employed. They
md this number insufficient and un-
satisfactory and wish to increase 1t.
Each OF these instructors gets from
500 to $1,000 for the season. There.
the travelling cheese instructor
watches group Of from 20 to 30
factories. Some of these he visits
but once in a season. others as often
as once month. the number of visits
depending upon the necessities of the
factories. He gives counsel, sees that
the factory is kept clean and by re-
porting to the proprietors or farm
owners is able to weed out the poor
cheese-makers and encourage and
stimulate the worthy ones. He has
no absolute power, his work being
strictly advisory.
The province of Quebec has about
5O OF these travelling instructors. Here
the dairymen are largely of French
descent and the cheese factories are
smaller than those of the province
OF Ontario and relatively more numer-
Gus. Here a different plan is fol-
lowed from that of Ontario. The
cheese factories are allowed to form
synd1cates, so-called, that is, twenty
to thirty factories near together are
allowed to form an association for
hiring travelling cheese instructor.
II they hire one approved by the gov
ernment. the government will pay to-
ward his salary up to the limit of
$3.50, but not more, and not more
than half his salary in any event. The
instructors receive from 5000 to $500
FOR the season. The difference be-
tween the government allowance and
the total amount of the salary is met
by the factories themselves. Thus it
will be seen that the Provincial Gov
eminent of Quebec pays out more
than $12,500 annually for these trav-
cling instructors, while the patrons of
the factories themselves must pay at
least $20,OOO.-J. @. Emery

In Buying a Cow.

Some OF our dairymen have quite
elaborate rules they follow when
they go out to buy a cow; yet it is
the opinion of the writer that about
All the rules will be found to be at
fault now and then. One writer on
dairy subjects says that in buying a
cow we should beware of the easy.
keeper. or, rather, of the cow that
looks easy to keep, as she will take
care of herself before providing for
the milk and cream her owner wants.
This may be a fairly good rule, but
we have certainly seen most excellent
cows that were easy-keepers. It de-
pends good deal on the individual
tty OF the COW. One COW will be sleek,
give good mess of rich milk and
prove continuous mixer, while an
other that looks exactly like her will
prove a fair milker for only a few
months. How shall one tell whether
cow will milk for six months or for
twelve months? After all the indica-
tions are needed, there is still much
uncertainty in regard to the cow. Not
till she has been kept a year can we
know what kind of an animal we have
and even then we may not know, il
the COW be young. AS much as pos
sfble the farmers should raise their
own cows, as only in that case will
they be able to know for a certainty
the real value attaching to them.

seams and one of the capes may be
omitted if desired. The strapping
down the front gives a pretty finish,
and may be covered by braid like that
on capes, if one chooses. These little
military coats are among the newest
designs and are deservedly popular.
The coat is particularly full and has !
style about it that can not be had in
the everyday modes. Red lady's cloth
or corduroy with white or black stitch
inga anu Sun-meLai buttons would
make an attractive design. Other de-
sirable selections which will find favor
are velvet, melton, kersey cloth or
peau de sole, if a heavy coat is not de-
sired.

Hardness of Fruits,

FRUIT trees vary enormously in their
ABILITY to Withstand hard conditions.
TO know just how hardy the different
varieties are is to be able to set out
orchards with a certainty of getting
good results. In Missouri the win

present conditions of the buds, with
view to comparing the relative re-

The work has been principally done

station located at Mountain Grove,
and refers to the young orchards at
that station. 1t would not, therefore,
be lair to assume that a like condi-
tton exists in all parts OF the state.
Out of 118 varieties of peach trees
growing on the station grounds, 80
mad all of the buds on them killed in
January. Only 13 varieties had more
than one-fouth Of all the buds alive,
and only five had half of the buds
alive at the March report Many of
course of these trees were of new
varieties being tried, but some of
the old varieties of peaches were rep
resented. Thus all the buds on the
20 per cent of the buds alive at the
last report, and Early Louise had so
per cent alive. Lemon Cling had 60
per cent alive and Miss Leda had rs
per cent alive. Piquett's Late had
also 60 per cent of it's buds alive. No
others made as good a showing as
these.
The report covers observations with
. V4r1pf1oC of r,1r -
Japanese or hybrids with some jap
anese blood in them. Out of the Is
varieties only three came out of the
ordeal with their buds uninjured. They
were Charles Downing "a Wild Goose
VARIETY, Maru (Japanese). and Pur-
pie Yosemite (Americana). 1t seems
remarkable that the Maru should have
escaped, as most of the other Japan
ese varieties were practically wiped
OUT Not bud was left on Abund-
ance, Burbank, and Georgeson, all
Japanese varieties. All the buds were
killed on the Bartlett, Chalco, Climax.

plum, a hybrid of a Japanese and
Americana cross, had only per cent
OF the buds left. The Whitaker, a
Wild Goose variety, had 95 per cent

would seem to indicate that it is not
a locality adapted to the growing of

ception of the Maru

The Olive in California.

Only in recent years has the olive
become considerable factor in the
fruit producing regions of California.
The olive seems to be especially
adapted to California The tree itself
Is a slow growing evergreen of great
longevity and productiveness. In
some of the older countries about the
Mediterranean, trees hundreds of
years old and sometimes twenty feet
and more in circumference have been
reported. When grown naturally the
tree attains q height Of 40 feet or
more and has . rounded form. Tho
leaves are small and lance-shaped
dull green above and sflvery beneath.
Though the. olive was grown In Cali
fornia by the early Mission fathers.
1t Is only within the last twenty years
that it has become of commercial i'm
portance. As yet the growers of
olives are experimenting with the soils
suited for 1t, and have many things
to learn. The industry is somewhat
checked by the sale of cottonseed oil
for olive oil. Olives have to have a
temperature that never falls below 20
degrees, and succeed best where the
lowest temperature of the year is not
below 43 degrees The trees are well
suited to sandy lands rich in potash.

LOST INFANT HUSBAND.
f1rs Levison. Catholic. Married to a
 Hebrew by Methodist.

New York. Sept 3O.-''Lost, boy husband,r was the gist of the story told to Supreme Court Justice Glider sleeve yesterday by Mrs Jennie Blanche Levison, who owns to twenty one summers. She had sued out a habeas corpus writ directing Mandell Levison to produce his brother. the 19- .year-old husband, Alexander 0. s. Lev. ison, whom she married on July 13 last at Calvary Methodist church in 129th street. Mandell Levison de- clares that he knows nothing about his brother, and Justice Gildersleeve re- ferred the matter to Court Stenog- fapher Nealis to take testimony.
 Mrs Levison is Catholic, while heE spouse Is Hebrew, and she says that his relatives. have spirited him away from her because of the difference in their religious beliefs. She says they lived happily together for awhile, but that he disappeared on August 31 and has remained in seclusion ever since.
 Mrs Levison has searched for her boy husband everywhere, she says, in cluding the homes of his parents and relatives. His father lives at Il West 114th street, while Mrs Levison resides at 267 West 126th street. She cried copiously in court when her brother-in- law denied that he was keeping young Levison away from her. Mrs Leyison's counsel said that the young woman had been asked to consent to a col Iusive divorce.

JUROR BROWN.
Took Sick and the Marx Trial Had to Be
 POStnoned.

New London, Sept 3O.-The trial of Gershon Marx, for the alleged murder Of Pavoll Rodecki, at Colchester in March last, came to sudden halt in the superior court here this morning. When court opened Dr George B. Bradford of this city and State Attor. ney Lucas held a conference with Judge Robinson, the physician report ing the serious illness of juror No 3, Henry A. Brown of this city. Judge Robinson stated from the bench that because of the enforced absence of Juror Brown court would adjourn to Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, saying he hoped that MT Browns condition then would allow his attendance for the remainder of the teial. Sheriff Jackson adjourned court at 10:18. 1t was stated by Dr Bradford that MT Brown had been ill since taking his seat in the jury box and that his con, dition made rest absolutely necessary. If Juror Brown is unable to attend to his duties Tuesday morning 1t is proba- ble that a new juror will be drawn.

ALL ARE NOW UNITED;
 VICTORY IN THE AIR
Prominent Democrats Called Judge Parker Yester dcy-Our Own Editor Troup Among the Number German and Rayner Bury the Hatchet-This Event Alone is " ,rth Thousands of Votes.

New York, Sept 30. Indicative of an effort on the part ot Judge Parker to unite all factions and bring togeth- CT individuals whose personal differ ences might interfere with harmoni- ous work for the national ticket. his callers during the next three days of his present trip to New York have ira- cluded representatives of every wing of the democratic party.
 In this connection conspicuous among those who visited the candi- date yesterday were Dr John H. Gird- ner, who has been the host of William Jennings Bryan whenever he came to New York, and Alexander Troup of New Haven, who served as chairman of the Connecticut state committee and conducted an enthusiastic cam pa1gn for Colonel Bryan four years ago. Others prominent in Connecti cut democracy have called on Judge Parker. Among them were Judge Robertson, the candidate for governor. and Homer s. Cummings. the member of the national committee.
 The incident that has created the most notable comment was the meet ing between Senators Arthur F. Cor man and Isador Rayner of Maryland. accompanied by an announcement from their political associates that whatever differences heretofore exist ing between Maryland leaders have been dfssipated at least so fat as the present campaign is concerned. For mer Representative Ben T. Cable of Illinois, who called on the judge, is another whose coming is said to mean unit of effort from opposing organi- zations of the Illinois democracy.
 The candidate has made many ac- quaintances on this visit to New York. Much of his time has been taken up by conferences with National Chairman Taggart, Senator German, William F. Sheehan, Delaney Nicoll, August Belmont, George D. Parker, Daniel .McConyiIle and others attach ed to the national headquarters but he has had the opportunity as well to see scores of the leading democrats who came to New York for the sole pur- pose of meeting him.
 Senator w. A. Clark of Montana made an appointment to see Judge Parker tomorrow morning J. H. Robb, who has been active in New York politics for many years, and l Governor Benton McMillan of Tenes- see were among those who called late in the day. Few callers were admit ted to Judge Parker's apartments last night.
