illustrated with the scalloped edges.
but It can be trimmed with banding
o. treated in any way that may be
preferred. The neck can be cut on
either a square OF round outline. The
opening under the arms is exceeding
ly practical and in great demand, but,
nevertheless, the edges can be scanned
If preferred; for the dress is design
ed to be slipped on over the head, the
opening being quite large enough.
For cooler days a guimpe can be worn
beneath, but round neck and short
sleeves are exceedingly attractive in
combination with baby dimples. This
frock is made of pink linen scalloped
and embroidered with white, and eye
lets are worked within the scallops.
The one shown in the back view is
made from blue chambray. trimmed
with blue and white.

SHOULD GROW POSTS.

It goes without saying that, with the 2 forests of the country falling prey to tooth of flame and sawmill, posts, along with other forms of timber prod ucts, are bound to advance in price. For this reason every farmer who has fences which will need repairing or building during the coming years may well consider the wisdom of small timber lot on which his post timber may be grown. Conditions of temper ature, moisture and soil will be largely determining factors. The adaptability of trees of given kind to such condi- tions can readily be determined from some nearby reliable nurscryman or from the horticultural department of ones state experiment station. The federal government has also issued q large number of leaflets on the plant ing of different varieties of trees, and these would also be helpful. Of trees grown for posts perhaps the catalpa (speciosa) is the most satisfactory. For sections where the winters arc not unduly severe the Russian mulberry makes an excellent post timber, while the locust is very satisfactory if the borers do not bother Where conditions of soil or moisture make the growing of any of the above impossible subsd tutes may be found in the cottonwood, Norway and Carolina poplar, rapid growing soft woods. However, If such timber is used the posts should be cured before setting and treated with creosote or other wood preservative, which will make them as durable as untreated hardwood posts. A feature in the care of the wood lot that should be kept in mind Is that to make the most rapid growth the little trees, for two or three years at least, should be given thorough and regular cultiva- tion. This will mean not only more vigorous growth, but straighter and
 more uniform trunks.

THOUSANDS OF LoAFERs.

Figures which have lately been pub lished by Hugh Van Pelt, state dairy expert of Iowa, show that of the 1,5O0,- 900 cows kept in the state there are at least 500,000 which not only do not return their owners any profit during the year, but are handled at a posi- tive loss-that is, the farmers who milk and care for these cows or hire men to do 1t actually pay for the privilege of monkeying with them. Iowa's showing in this regard may be poorer than Wisconsin's or New York's, but 1t is a fair guess that in many other dairy states the percent age of "loafers" is as large. This situa- tion should be remedied, and the only cure there Is lies through the use of the Babcock test to determine butter fat content of milk and a careful weigh ing of mildngs at intervals to deter mine the volume given in the course of a year

THE BIENNIAL FRUITINe HABIT.


 That the tendency of fruit trees to bear every other year is the result of an unconscious effort on the part of the tree to adjust itself to its own ca pacity to produce and to the stores of fertility in the soil and not to a fixed biennial fruiting habit Is view which is now held by number of orchard1sts who have had opportunity to do some experimenting along this line on their own account One with whom we had opportunity for an exchange of ideas recently stated that for number of years he supposed that this tendency of trees to bear every other year was fixed and that there was no way in which he could get around 1t. But he decided to take a block of mature bear ing trees and test the thing out for himself. He gave the soil under those trees a good dressing of barnyard ma nure, followed this with clover, thinned the apples to moderate number of trees which carried an overload and summer pruned-if at all. The results were all that he could ask. He found that instead of fruiting every other year the trees thus handled bore good crops annually. In other instance which have been noted the same truth has been demonstrated-that trees will bear annually If the soil is renewed with proper fertilizers and if the trees are not allowed to set such an amount of fruit as will exhaust them and re quire the following season for recu- peration. While under conditions which usually prevail this biennial fruiting habit is noticeable to a certain extent in a number of wild and tame tree fruits, 1t Is particularly true of the apple The orchardist who has some how got the idea that just because his trees were deep rooted they didn't need fertilizing and has been putting up with this alternate bearing habit as a natural law which he couldn't get around may derive some benefit from the instances narrated above. Apples take considerable amounts of fertiliz- ing clements from the soil, and 1t fol lows that if fruit Is to be picked year after, year these elements must as reg ularly be returned in the shape of fer tilizers,

An entirely new impetus has been given the rat killing campaign because recent investigations prove conclusive ly that 1t is prolific spreader of the germs of the bubonic plague, spotted fever and other maladies. This Is said to be due to the fact that the feas which infest rats laden with disease germs later bite and infect human be- ings. The question of rat extermina- tion would thus seem to have passed from the realm of expediency to that of necessity.

While the desire of the residents of the common small school district to have a school property of their own and maintain school therein may be commendable in a way, 1t can hardly be called good school management. Es- pecially is this true if there are not enough children of school age In the district to warrant the payment of a wage sufficient to secure the serv- ices of a really competent teacher and a school equipment that is effective and up to date. In many localities a far more sensible plan is for all tax payers and school patrons in the town ship to unite in the establishment of central school where practically all of the advantages in the way of instruc- tfon and equipment may be provided that are to be found in the town schools. The tendency of the day is toward consolidation. In no realm is there more urgent need for it than in the case of country schools

More often than Is the case life in- surance should be viewed as a system atic and regular method of saving than as mere insurance against death. There are many men who take this view and who put practically all of their surplus earnings into insurance premiums. Payments must be made at regular intervals, are anticipated and definite plan made to meet them. In the matter of being able to afford the carrying of life insurance 1t Is more often true than not that the fel- low who says he is too poor to carry insurance Is the one whose family Is in need of just such protection and who would be left destitute and un- provided for in case of his death.

Failure to use the Babcock test in the determining of the butter fat product of each member of the dairy herd not only prevents an effective elimination of the loafer, but also prevents adjust ing the grain ration of the individual to her actual needs-that Is, to the amount of butter fat produced. A feeding rule based on this test which is followed by many dairymen is to give each COW as many pounds of grain per day as she produces in butter fat per week. For instance, a COW giving twelve pounds of butter fat per week is given twice as much grain as the COW produc ing but six pounds. Yet how manr dairymen continue In the same old rut giving a COW so many quarts of feed, whether she is producing much or lit tie butter, just because she is a COW and Is giving some milk!
