WALKING skirt win Panels.

The skirt that is made with panels
is favorite among the latest models
and has much to commend 1t. The
long narrow cores give slenderness
to the figure, while there still Is
abundant flare at the lower portion
and there is unusual opportunity af-
forded for effective use of the fash
ionable stripes. This one combines
plain cores with fancy panels and Is
exceptionally graceful. AS shown. It
is made of hand loom Scotch tweed
in shades of brown and tan, and is
finished with stitching of belding silk,
but it will be found appropriate both
for all fashionable suitings and for
the similar materials used for the
odd skirts to be worn with the sepa-
rate coats that are promised such
vogue. If striped materials are chosen
the pleated portions of the panels
would be peculiarly effective cut on
the bias or cross. The use of but
tons makes a distinctive feature of
the season, and the tailor ones illus
trated give unquestioned finish, but
the detail Is, nevertheless, optional
as the skirt would be perfectly fin
ished without.
The skirt is finished in nine mar
row cores with panels between, and

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS REPORTED SOUND
Reduction In Production Not Great
and Mostly Made as Precau-
tionary Measures.

Comparatively sound conditions In
commercial and manufacturing inter
ests are indicated by special reports
to R. G.. Dun G. Co. from 60 or more
of the leading cities Of the coun-
try.
Conservatism in accumulating
stocks is reported In most cases and
there are many in which working
hours are being reduced and men
laid off, AS a rule, however, the re-
duction in production Is not great,
and Is taken rather as measure OF
precaution than because OF greatly di-
minished orders.
All New England points, including
Bangor, Providence, Springfield,
Lynn, Worcester, Hartford, New
Haven and Bridgeport, report certain
reductions in production, but do not
indicate any serious crisis. On the
contrary, the usual report is that in
dustrial conditions are fair and that
1t is only surplus help which is being
weeded out
In all the New England cities
adequate currency is reported to meet
payrolls and to carry on business,
although the banks are not making
many new loans. The check system
has been introduced in few cases
in New York and Pennsylvania. AT
Scranton, however, Wilkes-Barre,
Columbus and other important points,
currency is being provided for pay
rolls without resort to any substi-
tutes. Some scarcity of currency is
reported at Allentown, and clearing
house certificates are in use at
Cleveland.
Conditions further west are
rather more favorable than appeared
to be the case when the money
stringency first became acute. Fac
tories are operating on full time. or
nearly SO at points like Fort Wayne,
Grand Rapids, Saginaw, Quincy, La
crosse, st. Paul, Minneapolis, Des
Moines, Dubuque and Sedalia. From
Grand Rapids, the large furniture
center. 1t is reported that all fac
tories are running full-handed, and
there is a scarcity of skilled labor.
Very favorable reports are receiv-
ed from many southern points, es-
pecially from Lynchburg, Whining
ton, N. c., Charleston, Columbia, Sa-
vannah, Augusta, Mobile, Montgom-
cry and Knoxville. Falling off in
business is reported at Atlanta and
Dallas, and, to a limited extent, at
other points. -,
1t is notable that from nearly all
points failures are reported to be
only normal in number and collec'
tions are better than would be indi-
Gated by the stringent condition OF
the money market.

"Don'ts" Concerning the Cows.

Don't be unkind to the milk cow.
Don't use a club but kind words in
stead.
Don't allow any loafers around when
milking, such as dogs, children or cats.
Don't expect the cows to come from
pasture by mere calling them but drive
them up slowly.
Don't yell at the cow, and beware of
profane language, it leaves bad i'm
preston.
Don't allow your finger nails to grow
long if you are a daily milker.
Don't torment COW by teasing her
young.
Don't expect a COW to give as much
milk when half fed as when properly
cared for.
Don't allow COWS to sleep in mud
dy shed.
Don't allow your cows to be chased
by dogs or be hurried when going to or
from pasture.
Don't, when milking, beat the '.ow for
stepping backward when flies are nu-
merous.
Don't milk until dusk during the hot
months so as to avoid the presence of
the flies which so vigorously attack the
COW just before sundown.
Don't permit the COW to drink impure
water.
Don't fail to keep some sort of salt
handy so the cow may have free ac-
cess to it.
Do not feed the milk COW rotten"
or decayed corn.
Don't forget to allow the COW civil
treatment and she will return the same
in good measure.

marks the latest and best modes. The
original, from which the drawing
was made, is designed to be worn
with skirt to match, the material
being cheviot, in one of the new dark
blues, stitched with belding silk,
but the coat serves quite as we'll for
separate wrap and is adapted to all
seasonable suitings and cloakings.
Shadow effects and inconspicious
plaids are much liked for the suits
and green and black with collar of
green velvet is both chic and girlish.
The coat is made with fronts, backs
and side-backs. There are the regu-
lation collar and lapels finishing the
neck, and the sleeves are cut in two
pieces each in true mannish style.
Button-holes with handsome buttons
effect the closing.
For girl Of sixteen years of age
the coat will require three and one

The ldeal-Keepinq Apple.

Experiments indicate that so far as
maturity is concerned, the ideal keep

highly colored, but still hard and firm

stored in a local oold-storage house
to be distributed TO the markets in
cooler weather may be picked much lat

Stir the Soil Some More.

How many civilizations of crop is
necessary? Well, just as many as the
ground will permit of, rather than as
few as possible. The original prepara-
tion of the land and the planting is
much more than half the work and ex-
pense up to the time of harvest. 1t is
poor economy, after having gone thus
far, to skimp in the cultivation. The
cost of cultivating a field of corn or po-
tatoes is not more than fifty or sixty
cents per acre. If the planting has
been well done the increased yield from
each cultivation will much more than
pay its cost. Keep down the weeds and
let in the air to the plant roots.-Am-

Place Of the Peanut.

The peanut is so different in appear
ance from the bean, the pea and the
clover, and it is put to such different
use that it is seldom thought of as
legume which derives practically all
of its nitrogen from the air, The plant
blossoms above ground, but as the
flower withers the stock, or spike, OF
the ovary lengthens and pushes into
the ground, so that the pod is matur-
ed beneath the surface. The peanut
itself, therefore, corresponds to the pea
or the bean pod, and the nuts are the
peas or the beans.-American Cultiva-
tor.

Feeding Young Turkeys.


Feed the poults a nourishing food
and plenty of green food, just what
they will eat up clean in short time.
j put fresh laid egg in cold water
and bring it to head, boiling it one
half or one hour, which makes is
.crumbly. / chop it very fine, shell and
! all, mixing a little chick grit in just
: in the morning. This is their feed
for the first two days. The third morn
ing gather fresh dandelion leaves and
chop fine with egg and add sour milk
curd. This is Sleir breakfast, never
forgetting in the morning little chick
grit. At noon | feed little curd; at
night i chop onions or rather onion
tops, If have them, and egg and curd.
This constitutes their feed for three or
four weeks. After that | mix chick
food and oat meal but always give this
first food mixed with it, adding the 9TH
er foods as change. 1t is surprising
how fast turkeys will grow on this
food. If you do not over-feed, you
will never have any trouble with in
digestion, and as six weeks old they
will be plump and fat and grow right
along.
So many people write and ask how
many eggs do l cook. Bless their
hearts. never boil but one, and only
feed half of that to quite large flock.
A little turkey for the first three days
of its life will not eat more than a
small bird, and what they will eat could
be taken on the point of pen-knife.-

APPLYING Manure.

A series of rather careful experiments
in the application of manure at the Mas
sachusetts Experiment Station indicate
that on fairly level land there is not
much loss when the manure is applied
late in fall or during the winter
1t is figured that the double handling
of the manure required in the case OF
the manure that is hauled to the land,
dumped and then spread in the spring,
amounts to a sum much more than
equal to the loss of materials when the
manure is spread directly at first haul
ing. Results have agreed substantial
ly for several years past. The loss dur
ing winter when manure had been
spread on the ground was greater when
there was wash over the frozen ground
during the winter or early spring, but
in dry winter and when the ground
was covered with snow, there was
very little loss.
The average results are considered to
be in favor of winter application, TAX
ing into account the saving in labor
and the greater convenience, but on
fields that are very steep it is recon-
mended to hold the manure in storage
until spring, although actual tests on
rather steep land at the station did not
show very much loss from winter
spreading on average seasons. The land
to which this manure was applied had
been plowed in the fall. If applied to
sod land upon which there was but lit
tie dry material to take up the manure
the waste might have been greater

Castle Garden.

Castle Garden was built by the Unit. ed States in 1907 from the plans of Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Williams, c. F., and was called Fort Clinton. In 1922 it was ceded to New York city In 1924 it became place of amusement and about 1926 got the name of Castle Garden. In 1S45 there were Ethiopian ,minstrels there, in 1847-49 theatrical companies played there, and in 1850 Jenny Lind sang there In 1855 it was closed as place of amusement, and the commissioners of immigratio took It as an immigrant depot. In 1870 it suffered from fire, and on July 9, 1876, It was burned to the ground. It was rebuilt at once. In 1892 the depot was moved to Ellis island, and Castle Gar den reverted to the city, which in 1896 opened an aquarium there.
