blight, two Of them due to insects, one
to a fungus and the fire blight to bac-
terra.
AS preventive treatment avoid
strong manure, using commercial fer
tilizers only, and those that are weak
in nitrogen. Cultivate very little and
none during the blooming season.
After the orchard begins to bear, seed
grass best adapted to the locality. AS
the blight affects the young shoots
they should be trimmed back at some
distance below the point affected.
Pruning system has much to do in
controlling the blight. If the tree is
pruned in the common pyramid sys-
tenn as shown at left of cut, and blight
attacks the top, the main stem has to
be cut back seriously and the shape of
the tree is spoiled. If, on the other
hand, the tree is pruned by the Waite
method, as shown at right of cut,
there are several leaders and one or
more may be cut away without serious
injury to the top of the tree. DR..
Waite of Maryland has practiced this
method for several years, says Farm
and Home, and it is very important.
All trimmings, etc., must be- burned
quickly, as the germs may spread
from these. The tools used in prun-
ing should be dipped in a five per
cent. solution Of carbolic acid fire.
quently while being used. Spraying
the trees with paris green to kill
insects will help prevent the spread
of the germs.

POOR PRUNING:
Many an Orchard Is. Ruined by the
Way Works. Done. Il

A few summers ago saw an orch
ard that had been pruned with an
AK the previous year. If anyone had
done as poor job trimming out my
grove of despised second-growth post
oaks, he would have had to quit as
soon as I found it out, says g writer in
The Homestead
An ak is poor tool with which
to prune an orchard. know of no bet
ter tools than sharp saw and knife
with a keen edge. the one for the
large limbs, the other for small limbs
and water sprouts.
Besides the usual removal of cross
branches, those that are too low and
water sprouts, there is this spring in
many orchards the added work of TAX
Ing OF branches that were broken by
the heavy crop of last year. Much
care should be used in taking these
on so as to leave a smooth surface
close to the trunk or large branch
"here they are removed. A stub six
1nches or foot long will never
amount to much, if anything, as a
bearer of fruit. 1t only disfigures the
tree and induces disease and decay.
Take off the broken limbs as you
would any other that you want out
of the way
A good way to have a smooth cut,
where a large branch has to be re-
moved, is to cut it off a foot or more
from where Won wish then ont off tho
STUB that is left. In this way you run
no risk of having the branch tear the
hark down as it falls. 1t also enables
you to go closer to the tree or large
limb with your saw than you could
any other way.
The wounds made in removing
branches an inch or more in diameter
should be painted the day they are
made
We paint smaller wounds as the
spring winds check the wound so
soon, and you never know the COM
ing days weather, therefore, it is best
not to wait till tomorrow before
covering the wounds. White lead and
Oil make the ideal paint for this pur-
pose AS we have but few hundred
trees we buy the mixed paints that
come in half gallon cans They are
ready to use as soon as stirred thor
oughly.
When burning the brush it must
be far enough from the trees to pre-
vent the heat from injuring them.

CHAPTER XVIIT

A SENSATIONAL TURN IN THE MIL
BREY FORTUNES.
1t was a morning early in Novem-
Der. In the sedate Milbrey dining-room
a brisk wood fire dulled the edge of the
first autumn chill. At the breakfast
table, comfortably near the hearth, sat
Horace Milbrey. With pointed spoon
he had daintily scooped the golden
pulp from Florida orange, touched
the tips of his slender white fingers to
the surface of the water in the bowl,
and was now glancing leisurely at the
headlines of his paper, while his break
fast appetite gained agreeable zest
from the acid fruit
On the second page of the paper the
names in brief item arrested his er-
rant glance. It disclosed that Mr.. Per-
cival Bines had left New York the day
before with a party Of guests on his
special car, to shoot quail in North
Carolina. Mr.. Milbrey glanced at the
two shells OF the orange which the
butler was then removing. ><1,..'2 !
What hopeless brute that fellow
was!" he reflected. He was recalling
a dictum once pronounced by Mr..
Bines. '.''Oranges should never be eaten
in public" he had said with that lord
ly air of dogmatism characteristic OF
him. 1.-THE only right way to eat a
juicy orange is to disrobe, grasp the
fruit firmly in: both hands and climb
into a bathtub half full Of water"
The finished epicure shuddered at the
recollection, poignantly, quite as if a
saw were being filed in the next room.
< Mrs. Milbrey entered, news ,of i'm
portance visibly animating her.: Her
husband arose mechanically, placed the
chair for her, and resumed his fork in
an ecstasy of concentration. il @s*# 3

The true dress artist is always an
enthusiast, and not even for the most
extensive commercial consideration
would she persuade the chiffon wo-
man" into satin brocade. or the
"tailor-made girl to the picturesque
allurements of clinging folds.
Clinging folds are much in fashion
graceful than the most prevalent,
which embraces a corselet skirt fitted
round the waist and hips and falling
in full folds to the feet. the corselet
being low in the front and high at the
back, while square or semi-circular
bretelles hang over the sleeves to give
the essential long-shouldered line
The dress is filled to the neck with
soft chiffon or lace, and bears sleeves
to match trimmed perhaps with bands
of cloth to correspond with the skirt;
and over this costume is loose coat
of Chinese shape, always with the
lines dropping from the shoulders the
length of. this, and extends either to
the waist or to the hips. The hat is
placed boldly over the forehead and
bears dropping plume at the back,
the whole contour of costume, from
head to heel, seeming to droop with
an unaffected grace in every pleat.
1t is easy to imagine that under the
aegis of this sort Of costume the least
graceful woman might have a share
of elegance, so that she regulate the
length of the coat and skirt and the
commencement of the corselet in the
front and back to suit her special pro-
portions. Sometimes these corselet
skirts are entirely made in pleats.
small box pleats closely cut together,
and stitched firmly down to the hips,
whence they flow to the hem. On
other models they are contrived with
the bretelles made with a sort of
waistcoat effect. But they form a by
no means ideal waistcoat, a garment
which is at its best when made sen.
arately of striped velvet or silk and
worn with an ordinary narrow skirt
and coat of masculine simplicity.
An admirable example of a spring
dress is made of black cloth with a
corselet skirt, and waistcoat of
natural Shangtung silk, buttoned with
black, showing above and below a
soft shirt of white chiffon. The
sleeves of the little black coat are cut
short and broad and wide, trimmed at
| the edge with soft braid. and lined
with the Shangtung silk, and the hat
which is destined to complete the
effect is small of shape, with the brim
| pointing towards the 'front.' trimmed
on either side with a large rosette of
gathered black glace, whence black
wings outspread themselves.
In the costumes shown in our, illus
| tration may be seen expressed the uni
versal fancy for the long shoulder line,
and the prevailing desire to conceal
the fact of an armhole Not a bad
desire, either, when you come to con.
slider it, for the. armhole has always
been a point liable. to reveal the hand

GOOD GARDEN TOOLS.
Skill Rather Than Strength Needed in
Their Handling.

The gardeners work depends more
upon skill than upon strength. The
grub hoe, the pick and the breaking
up plow for new land need to be
strong, but in the garden light
tool in good condition will make the
work easier and accomplish more
than the heavy tool. Keep the hoes
sharp and the teeth of the cultivator
and horse hoe down to a cutting
edge, and good points on the plows,
and keep everything clean and
bright, SO that dirt will not adhere
to them to double their weight and
lessen their efficiency. The light tool
may not last as long as the heavy
one, and if it seems to be using up
the hoe very fast to grind it every
day, at least it is better to wear out
several hoes than one man or bow.
