BUYING A DAIRY COW.
A Most Important and Difficult Task
Some Things to Re-
member.

Buying a good dairy COW Is one Of the
most difficult duties of farm life. There
are many strong points by which to
define good sheep, hog, or even a horse,
although one gets left occasionally as
to the latter's disposition. But in select
ing a good milch COW the best Of judges
are apt to be mistaken. Appearances
are more likely to deceive and all signs
fail than in any other farm necessity.
In buying a milch COW you may ask the
family and also the neighbors whence
the cow came and get recommendations
as to her qualifications. You may also
see that she has all the essential points
for your purpose, and yet when you get
her home and try to milk her out Of her
accustomed place and usual manner she
is liable to kick you SO far that you
won't get back to supper. A farmer is
very foolish to sell his best COW, and

that she was just the thing and a first

them out Of the yard or pasture when

Bad Pruning Of ornamentals.

Many ornamental trees are ruined
by bad pruning. Every tree has its
own characteristic shape, which dis
tinsuishes 1t from other trees. 1t is
desirable to retain the individual
shape so that variety may be had. One
of the most common mistakes in bad
pruning is to attempt to make all
trees assume the same shape. The
natural growth Of the tree should be
encouraged. Dead and blighted
branches should be kept trimmed of.
The thinning out should not be
enough Ito greatly change the appear

STYLES OF THE SEASON.
Soft Weaves of Silk to Be Used and
Profusion Of Lace Will
Be Seen.

Though II Is early for Paris to DO
very definite on the subject OF styles,
she has indicated most definitely one
or two very important things. One Of
these is that she Is going to use plant.
soft weaves OF silk. exquisitely fine veil
ings. silk and wool as light as air il
Illuminated by a warp of color, perhaps,
or covered with small flower designs
that could never have come back as
Dresden" but are welcome as spring
in the new French weaves.
With everything there will be an
abundance of lace = Alencon, real
"baby" Cluny, Mechlin and Irish crochet
In new styles. And where the laces
leave of embroideries begin-embroid-
cries that actually rival real laces In
their claim on your attention, because
of their exquisite beauty.
II you stick to the princess idea of
dress, you can scarcely go wrong-if
there is any confidence to be placed la
signs-for Paris is doing everything sire
can to reduce hips and invent under
clothes that will make princess fash
ions possible.
There are underclothes-three pieces
in one, drawers, skirt and corset cover
Ito reduce the size of the hips, the most
antagonistic of all characteristics to the
princess styles.
Fine shirrings at the waist over the
hips and about the waist, above, are
much used, when the dress is of chiffon,
meteor, surah satins, or of any of those
exquisite silks that come under the
name of clair de lune.
For walking suits broadcloth is still
first, Paris having taken it into her
head that broadcloth can be made as sat
isfactory for summer as winter. And
80 chiffon broadcloth Is more chiffony
than ever. When the color is dark the
style is fairly plain; when white or deli
cate the style Is elaborate, and some
times the skirt is a trifie longer, in the
more fancy styles.
Those heavy homespun-looking silks
that were worn a little last summer
have been made up for women to take
to Florida or Egypt; and this is hint
that they will not be wholly "outre"
this summer.
And just a word of styles that will
prevail, no matter whether with prin-
cess or empire:
Sleeves will be short. They will he
made in thousand ways-of lace frills
and ruffles; with cuffs and without
but whatever else they are they will be
short.
In embroidered dresses the waists and
embroidery will be lifted to the throat
to form yoke, the yoke and collar be-
ing one, without dividing line; and
In some cases, where handmade lace
or embroidery forms the yoke, the col
lar will sometimes be entirely omitted
or merely hinted at. This style, how
ever, requires a peculiarly fresh skin
and pretty throat, SO that 1t may be con-
fined to quite young women and girls.
1t Is quite likely that this summer
will see the more delicate colors revived,
so that white will have to yield little
to It's supremacy. Indeed, raspberry
seems to threaten an immense vogue
probably following in the footsteps Of
red, which stormed and won the whole
Of America to its standard only two
short winters ago. Apricot and the
pastel shades Of green and blue, with
white, are likely to be good.-Chicago

where he loved the daughter of a mill
er. He sought the hand of the young
woman, but the miller gruffly turned
him down with the statement that it
was not the girl he sought so much as
the grist mill. Lick angrily replied
that the old mill was no good, that he
didn't want it, and that some day he
would build a good grist mill, and
make it out of mahogany. He went to
South America, drifted into California
and made a fortune. He made good
his threat by building mill entirely
out of hard wood. 1t has been a
profitable mill, also. Lick never mar
