A HAREM.scARE'eM COSTUME.

Late reports from the city OF
Paris announce that the success
sor of the ridiculous hobble skirt
IS soon to appear Il is to be a
new form Of divided skirt. not
suited only TO equestrianlsm, bit
designed for street wear as we'll.
It is TO be an almost exact repro,
duction Of the costumes worn by
the harem ladies in Turkey, con
sisting Of a lccg, loose divided
skirt, ftting tightly at each ankle.
Mr.. Paul Fo,ret, an authority on
fashions, recently announced that
early IN the year he really IN
tends to attempt to popularlze
this garment IS q conventional
costume for women.
This is q long.cherlShed am
bition Of mine" he said. The
hobble skirt has had its day, and
nv clients are firing Of the un.
gaiuly gait which ltmakes oolig-
atory. The Turkish ladies' cos
tune has long appealed to me as
being most sensible, hygienic
and graceful. Moreover, it COM
plies perfectly with the present.

tight at the ankles. only instead
Of having her movements lmped-
ed by a single skirt, woman IS to
have a skirt to each ankle.
'sOf course. petticoats will not

the petticoat is doomed. The
new costume will be made in each
case to the requirements, and the
division can be made either high
or low as desired. ! am not in,
Producing the garment solely as

make the new creation as artistic

ssAs a walking costume it will,
of course, be unrivalled for com,

to produce stems anC long leaves
after it has been seeded for a few
years is not entirely due to the "sod-
bound" condition of the grass. Heavy
applications of manure cause the sod
to become still deneer. and yet the
yield is improved. II is safe to con-
clude that tire reduced yields Of
bronze grass after it las stood for
a few years is as much due to the
reduced fertility in the soil as to the
density of the sod. Previous trials
show that bronze grass is a ravenous
feeder upon the soil fertility and that
it used lar@er quantities of water
than most hay plants. However, it
roots deeply and sends it's rootlets
farther for moisture than any other
commonly grown grass. No grass
surpasses bronze grass in it's ability
to produce a good growth in dry
years or under adverse weather con-
ditions.

kotas the land should receive good

the land should be plowed ten or
twelve inches deep. This should be

Manuring Bronze Grass.

In the spring of 1905 ten acres of
bronze grass which was seeded In
1899 was divided into. two equal parts
and on five acres about fifteen tons
Of we'll rotted manure was added per
acre. The five acres which had been
MANFRED yielded, when cut for hay,
14,505 pounds-the unmanured five
acres gave 1905 pounds of hay, or
Las and .S9 tons per acre respectively.
This field was too old sod to remain
good hay producer, but as it was
needed for pasture a little later it
was not considered advisable to pillow
1t up.
A one-third acre plat Of bronze grass
was seeded in 1902. In 1903 it yielded
1.7s tons of hay per acre and in 1904
it was cut for seed. Just after re-
moving the seed crop it was MANFRED

The crop of hay produced the follow.

Of 2.99 tons per acre. When the crop
was removed in 1905 the plat was

2.75 tons Of hay per acre, while the

TREES FOR DRY FARM
Afford Excellent Protection for
Farm Yard and Buildings.
Do Much to eeautIfy Landscape and
Relieve Monotony Of Prairies-
viii Furnish Ample Supply Of
Fence Posts and Fuel.

(By W. r. PosTEN, Superintendent of
Demonstration Farms.)
In the dry.farming sections of the
Dakotas and Montana some crops are
Peculiarly adapted to dry-farming
p, methods. Trees belong to this class
as truly as wheat and corn though
most farmers do not regard them as
svh. Trees require as much water
If not more than most cereal crops
but they can be cultivated every year
!, and "a mulch can be kept continu.
ously on the land, thus assuring the
trees practically all the rain that
falls They stop the drifting snow and
retain all the snow that falls on the
land actually occupied by the trees
themselves. In this way a tree
plantation II rightly cared for will
grow In any part of the western
part of the Dakotas or Montana
where the land Is reasonably free
from alkali, hard pan and gravel.
Why should every farmer of this
region set out liberal plantation of
trees, say from Ave to twenty acres?
1. The farm-yard and buildings
should be protected from the sweep
ing winds of autumn, winter and
spring. In order to do this dense
grove should be set out on the north
and west sides of the building and Q
heavy shelter belt on the south will
do much to break the strong south
winds that are often disagreeable, par
ticularly in spring and fall.
2. Groves OF trees do much to beau
ttfy the landscape and to relieve tho
monotony of the prairies. Many peo-
pie particularly In new country do
not consider beautiful farm surround
: tngs. an asset, yet 1t may be the very
thing that may chance the children to
Sspain on the farm rather than rush
u the overcrowded city where they
are not needed half go badly as on
the farm where they we're reared II
the farm should ever be for sale q
good grove will do much to bring q
handsome price
3. Groves of trees do much to stop
the devastating hot winds such as
proved so disastrous to the western
Dakotas the past season. II there had
been from ten to twenty acres OF
trees on every quarter section Of land
over this area, the winds would have
been checked to considerable degree
and the moisture which the leaves
would have given to the air by evapor-
ton from their surface would have
probably cooled the atmosphere from
