bear, the fruit will be well developed

The soil should then have a cover
crop to carry it over the winter with
out loss from the thorough tillage
given. For this purpose clover is ex-
cellent, as it restores the nitrogen
that is taken up by the trees and the
fruit, while its roots and top hold and
cover the soil during the winter, and
prevent the washing away of fine soil,
as also the nitrates that have been
set free from the frequent summer till

The Soil.

1.-THE ideal soil for the pear is a
clay loan. The temperature of such
soil is somewhat lower than htat Of
a more open or sandy character. The
clay soil is more retentive of moist
ure, which is essention to the best de-
VelOpment of the tree and the fruit.
If for want of sufficient moisture ne
pear receives a check in it's growth,
particularly in its early stages, it will
not be so fine in quality; there will be
more or less discolored specimens and
unevenness in form, with roughness
of skin, which is undesirable, and
which lessons the value of the fruit for
the best trade.
Pears will grow on variety of soils
but the soil needs to be well supplied
with plant food: it should not contain
much nitrogen, as an over-luxuriant

not bit of doubt of that-it is more

that sets it apart as something deserv-

everyday garb.
The little girl to whose parents
money is no object may indulge in
fascinating pale blue and rose pink
broadcloth coats-or more delightful
still, in snow-white coats and furs. but
the ordinary little girl will have to
be content with an outer garment that
will answer for school wear a second
winter. AS a matter of fact, dark COL
ors are more fashionable in Paris now,
even for very dressy coats, and the
delicate biscuit and rose shades are
left to the wee girlies, not stretching
up into their teens.

25 feet space should be. allowed in
each direction. Grant the trees 3 to
inches deeper than they stood in the
nursery. Care should be taken To
spread the roots well and have the
earth we'll packed over them. The
tops should be cut back one-third,
leaving four branches we'll separated
to form the tops of the trees. Where
the winters are mild autumn planting

perature reaches 20 degrees below
zero it is better to plant in the spring.
Dwarf Pear Trees.
The cultivation of dwarf pear or
chards are limited for the reason that
as rule they have not been success
in the eastern states. The dwarf tree
has been produced by grating or bud
ding on the Anglers Ounce. The
dwarf trees require more pruning, Gull
tivation and care than the standards.
Their roots being nearer the surface
they would dry DOT quicker. On the
other hand the trees come into bear
ing much earlier and the fruit is with
in easy reach of the picker and about
three times as many trees are planted
to the acre. Experiments are now
being made in commercial dwarf pear
growing in the state of Washington
which the horticulturist will watch
with interest.
Cultivation.
The cultivation of the soil is of
the highest Importance after the trees
have been set, and this should begin
with the planting and be regularly con-
tinued. When the trees begin to bear
fruit freely they do not make SO Wig
orous growth and when growth ceases
the tree will soon begin to decline,
hence some fertilizer should be ap-
piled. In addition to bearing fruit, the
trees should make an annual growth
of from to 10 inches; and to obtain
this. annual tilling of the soil is nee
essary. Sod-bound trees will make
little or no growth, and will produce
but little and inferior fruit
After the trees are planted, the soil
should be narrowed and cultivated,
and no crops grown. This will keep
down weeds, and make the soil loose
and in condition to retain sufficient
The narrowing should be continued
until the middle or last of July, by

STOCK SPECULATION
IN LETHARG|C STATE
OUTFLOW OF GOLD TO SOUTH
AMERICA AND COPPER STU
ALTON CONTRIBUTE.
Feeling Of Uncertainty Manifest-Tone
for Time Loans Has Decided
Easier Aspect.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The con-
dition of the speculation in stocks be-
came somewhat lethargic today as a
consequence of various doubtful fac
tors overhanging the situation. The
swelling of the outward movement of
gold to South America was one such
factor. The lack of further response
in the copper industrials to the con-
solidation project was another.
The announcement of several new
bond issues called renewed attention
to the capital requirements confront
ing the financial markets and had a
quieting effect on the speculation. The
gold exports had but slight OBJECT on
the money market outside a. slight har-
dening of call loan rates.
The tone for time loans was slightly
easier, if changed at all. New York
exchange at Chicago slipped back to
slight discount, marking subsistence
of call for relief in New York.
There was decided falling off in
the private discount rate in London,
causing apprehensions of a check to
the inflow of gold to London. The i'm
preston is conveyed that speculative
liquidation has effected some relief of
the money situation in New York,
while the present quiet of the specula-
ton in stocks keeps the money market
free from renewed encroachments.
Some significance attaches to re-
ports of funds offered in Wall street by
the dry goods banks, from which is
inferred a lulI in that trade for which
the high price of cotton is given some
responsibility The falling back into
quietude of the soppers must be eX-
planned by suspicion of the reports
of thte consolidation and the admit
tedly choatic state in which the pro-
ject still stands.
The influence of the American Tele-
phone absorption Of the Western
Union was seen in the ease with which
advances were forced in minor indie
pendent companies in industries in
which a dominant combination already
existed, such as the smaller iron ana
steel companies.

TAKE OFF THE FAT
WHERE 1T SHOWS


Most women suffer much humila-
ton because Of great quantities of
fat, so located that, no matter how
they dress, everybody sees that they
are abnormal. This is the day of the
slender figure, and fat women are
simply not tolerated either in BUSH
ness or social affairs. Women may
not know it, but men when they see
fat woman pass them on the street
or in public places make all manner
of sympathetic remarks about her.
They do not mean to be unkind or to
seem unmanly, but it is natural for
a man to dislike fat on woman.
Where fat shows the most there is
where it must be removed, and as
quickly as possible. This seasons
dresses seem to be made for the fat
Woman's misery and the slender wo-
mans delight. They expose all the

mand of the public for this style of
treatment. These little tablets go
into your system just like food. They
