simplicity and charm 10 OF soft gray
charmeuse only adorned midway on
the skirt by band Of moleskin and
the drapeTies on the left side being
so contrived as to show a long ana
srace-giving line unbroken by the fur.
The crossed folds OF the corsage

boarded with narrow pleatings of
satin in gray and gold and brown and

silk beaver Is thoroughly in harmony
with the dress.
Another costume Is shown which in
SIS straight sienderness OF outline at

with rustic railing, was placed
around the tree, so that the entire
trunk might be free from dirt, as 1t
was originally.
The construction of the reinforced
concrete wall is very simple. After
the hole was dug to the desired width
and squared properly, the posts for
the railing were set so that they rest
ed on the bottom of the hole and eX-
tended about four feet above the
ground. These posts were connected
each by four cross-pieces, two below
the ground and two above, which made
sort of fence around the tree. The
false work to hold the cement III
place until it was set was so con-
structed that the part of the posts be-
low the ground, as well as the cross
pieces connecting them, would be
half embedded in the concrete. This
concrete wall, approximately nine
inches in thickness, was reinforced
with strong iron wire cut to the re-
quired length, and put in place in the
manner Of open network while the
concrete was being poured. Braces
extended from the tree to the boards
wherever it was deemed necessary, so
that the false work might be strong
enough to hold the concrete back OF
it.
Above the ground, a rustic railing
was carried out, constructed so that
it might be strong enough to permit
of the small boys climbing over it.

BETTER FEEDING
OF HORSES
NNNNNlNNlNNNNNNVIXANINNNN
By DIR. A. S. ALEXANDER
Wisconsin College of Agriculture

Too often it seems to have been
taken for granted that the use OF
pure bred, heavy draft sire is suffi-
cient to insure the production of
high-class horse of like type and
character This is a mistake. The
sire endows the foal with the posi-
bility OF developing into the valuable
animal desired; but the possibility can
only be made an actuality by ade-
quately feeding the mare during preg-
nancy and during the nursing period,
and adequately feeding the foal be-
fore weaving, at and after weaving
time, until ready for market. Stunted
horses are more often the result of
poor feeding than of Indifferent sires.
Excessive feeding, on the other hand,
is injurious 1t is especially injurious
to stations and brood mares. Meth
er should be pampered. Each should
be SO worked or exercised and fed
that at all times muscle, vim and
vigor prevail in place of fat, debility
and s1uggishness. The man who pam
pers, underexercises or oyerworks his
stallion or mare cannot rightly expect
to succeed in breeding horses; and
he who starves his horses will make
an even more dismal failure of the
business.

Millions Of Fish Fry Distributed.

i The state fish commission has just
completed the collection of lake trout
eggs. Preparatory to the meeting OF
the commissioners Of fisheries in
Madison, superintendent James Nevin
has gathered interesting statistics rel
ative to fish culture in Wisconsin.
In the collection of the eggs the de-
partment worked SO boats and crews
on the waters of Lakes Superior and
Michigan. over 5000 quarts of eggs
were taken, representing some 42,00O,-
600 eggs. TO collect this vast numb Der,
753 lifts of the nets were made, some
of them four and five miles in length.
OF these eggs, 22,400,000 were sent
to the Bayfield, hatchery and 100000
to the Oshkosh hatchery, where they
are now in process of incubation.
Some 100000 of the eggs, also.
were fortified and planted back on
the spawning grounds of the parent
fish.
This is the beginning of the busy
time for the employe of the fisheries
department The hatcheries have al
ready in process of incubation the
eggs of lake trout, whitefish, blue fin
and brook trout.
The rainbow trout will soon spawn
and before the season closes the de-
partment will also propagate muskel-
lunge, waIl-eyed pike and pickerel.
The department averages a yearly dis
tribution of 200,0OO,0O0 pike fry.

CARE OF THE HOUSE PLANTS
Make Blanket of Old Newspapers to
Wrap Around Stand on Extremely
Cold Winter Nights.

A moist soil does not mean wet
one.
Cover the plants with newspapers
when sweeping or throw dust sheet
over them.
Examine all hardwooded tub or pot
plants in your window garden for
scale, mealy bug and spider. Do not
let them get start.
Make blanket of newspapers to
wrap around your plant stand on cold
nights. Drop papers between plants
and sash.
For the fern case provide good
drainage, ventilation every day;
avoid much heat and water judi
ciously.
Don't depend upon the moon; see
that seed, soil and season are suitable
and go ahead The moon has bust
ness of it's own.
The date palm develops slowly
from seed, but it is easy to care for
and some of them turn out fine.
Many, however, are not worth their
keep.

VOID DANGER FROM FROST
Formation of Ice Around Base OF Trees
Keeps Ground In Frozen Condi-
ton, Retardina Growth.

Last year there was a scarcity or
fruit in the middle states because the
prematurely warm weather thawed
the ground and warmed the trees.
causing them 10 blossom. This was
followed by frosty weather that froze
the blossoms which contained the
germs necessary to produce fruit.
This is a frequent occurrence and
farmers have used fires and oil stoves
under the branches of the trees in
their orchards to keep the blossoms
from being frost-bitten.
There is danger OF frost in our
region until April Is or later, and by
delaying the budding these trees I'M
til that time this danger would be
avoided. or there is ample time in
the fall of the year for the ripening
of the fruit, writes Chas. Dietz in the
Chicago News.
In order to do this all that would be
necessary is to scrape a small ridge
of dirt about six inches high, forming
a circle around the base of the tree
about five feet from it, After the
ground has thoroughly frozen in the
latter part of January fill this bowl or
space with water, which would be di-
rectly over the root of the tree. The
cold weather would cause the water
to become ice. Then place a layer OF
straw or hay over this ice. The device
would keep the sun from thawing the
Ice, as the snow and ice ridges on
the shady or north side of our fences
now show. AS ice is a nonconductor
of heat, this would keep the dirt
around the roots and base of the tree
in frozen condition, retarding the
circulation or flowing of the sap I'M
TIL it was thawed and warmed up.
The straw or hay could be removed
about April Is with safety.
