Embroidered
Waist Patterns

Too far above the ordinary, for delicacy
and beauty, to be classed with anything
you have seen.
There's q distinct newness Of effect in
the finely wrought embroideries, materials
are finer. and the very simplicity of the
prices makes the buying temptations ire
sistble.
There are Embroidered India Linons, St.
Gall Swisses and French Mercerized Ba-
tiste. There are fine Irish Linens of med
ium weight, exquisitely embroidered by
hand-and the finest. most delicate of
French work, on sheerest fabrics.
Prices for the complete patterns from Soc
to S6.OO-though equal qualities almost
invariably sell at much higher prices.

Another Point For Alfalfa.

AS to the possibility of increasing the
yellow color Of egg yolk by feeding,
it has been found at the Utah expert
ment station that when hens were fed
dried alfalfa leaves in winter the yolks
of the eggs laid were normal in color,
while those laid by similar lots fed no
alfalfa were pale il color, and the
same Improvement in color was noted
when hens had access to green grass,
alfalfa and clover. In another test a
mixture of white and yellow corn eat
en- in place of wheat did not produce
yellow yolks, nor did skim milk fed
in place of meat meal. eft was not
noted that there was any difference in
color Of yolk from different breeds, nor
did there appear to be any difference
due to individuality. The color Of
shell is a question Of individuality, but
the proper color Of yolk is a question
Of food"

The Dentist and the Allipa.or.

Roy Farrell Greene, the president
Of the American Society of Curio Col
lectors, told at dinner of dentists an
appropriate story.
"A dentist he said, "was once
travelling in the east, and in the Gauges
his boat overturned and he was OBJ
liged to strike out and swim for the
shore.
AS the dentist swan sturdily
through the muddy water an enorrno Gus
alligator suddenly rose up before him.
The alligator opened it's enormous
jaws, and the next instant would have
been the dentists last, only-just in
tlme-the man happened to notice the
great reptiles sharp, white teeth, and
an idea struck him.
He drew a probe from his pocket,
and, pressing it into the alligator's
gums, he said:
Does this hurt you?'
"The alligator screamed with pain,
and the dentist, amid it's great agony,
made good his escape. "-Philadelph

PRUNING THE PEACH.
Bearing Surface of Tree Less In Area

Bearing Surface of Tree Less In Area
Than Root Surface.
have endeavored to keep my peach
trees globular and make every effort
to keep up the strength of the trees
near the source Of supply-that is, not
allow the bearing wood year after year
to be farther off from the trunk
Thinning, pruning and supporting are
all closely related, and one must have
in mind the relative weight of the bur-
den to the strength of the tree to bear
the fruit and carry the weight Of the
same. Very many trees are destroyed
and permanently injured by the own
er's endeavor to have quantity instead
of quality. Do not endeavor to have
the record trees of the neighborhood for
the largest quantity of fruit, but rather
aim to have the best peaches anywhere
near. Quality pays much better than
quantity. Alas, most orchardists don't
think so, to judge from the appearance
Of the trees.
Conclusive Pruning.
There is another important feature to
be borne in mind in this conclusive
pruning-it is that the bearing surface
of the trees should be smaller in area
than the root surface. Peaches ordi-
narily draw phosphorus and potash
from the soil, and we should have an
extra supply. Then we will naturally
have an overabundance Of food, and
the fruit will be all that man can hope
for.
The most important time for the
pruning Of peach trees is in February
and March, for the reason that during
the winter many small limbs that are
killed by the winter can be cut off, so
the early spring or the late winter is
the very best time, that being also the
time when work Is slack.-Maryland
