FEW LITTLE ORCHARD HELPS
Trees Respond to Application Of
Manure as Quickly as Any Other
Crop-Better Plowed Under.

When the mercury hovers around
the small figures and the snow is on
the ground. there is job waiting for
you.
Haul little manure into the or
chard. And little, as used in this
connection. means a good deal For
an orchard twelve or fifteen years
planted, two-horse wagon load will
not be too much for two trees. Trees
respond to the application Of manure
as quickly as any other crop. And
anything which increases the vigor
and health of the trees adds to their
ability to produce fruit.
For young orchards upon rich
prairie soil, manure is not advised
but after ten years Of growth, the
soil needs reinforcement It was
formerly taught as a cardinal prin.
ciple that new tree should never be
planted where an old one has been
removed. But practical men no long
er regard this view. They make the
old spot rich with fertilizers and
plant the trees there just the same
And the tree blooms just as we'll as
any well-planted tree should.
Successful fruit men do not pasture
their orchards, neither do they cut
and remove crops Of hay. Everything
which grows upon the surface is re-
turned to the soil.
In the application of manure never
pile 1t about the body Of the tree, but
spread 1t out over surface as large
as the spread Of the tops. In many
cases this will mean covering the
whole surface. If you can plow 1t un
der when spring comes, that is bet
ter. But II you cannot do this, much
of the nutriment will get down to the
roots, through the medium of the
spring rains.
If your fruit is poor and small, II
Is not fair to lay 1t to the depravity
Of the tree, or the insects every time
for often 1t is the lack of fertility
which causes failure. Help the tree
to do its work by feeding It literally.

Standing to Reduce Elesh.

A little trick is standing for twenty
minutes after each meal. This does
not mean simply being ON your feet,
clearing off the table, etc. 1t means
that you must stand perfectly still,

a book in the dining room, stand near

New York.-The dominant note in
the latest fashions is simplicity
more truthful, perhaps, is it to say ap-
parent simplicity-for in reality the
newest gowns are built on most in
tricate lines to gain the desired effect
Fichus play most important part in
the styles for late autumn and winter.
and while they seem best suited to
the evening gowns they are no less
appropriate with the more elaborate
style Of afternoon gowns. Soft draped
surplice folds of material to match the
gown often take the place of the tichu.
but the general effect Is the same.
and all are on the same order.
Charmingly picturesque and most
generally becoming are the dainty
white gowns that, while intended pri-
marily for the summer, will be seen
for some time to come, and, in fact,
will be in fashion all winter for the
house. At the moment the lingerie
and the lace gown are the best ex-
amples of this style, but the same
model will be made up in chiffon, voile
de sole and also in silk or Liberty
satin.
A Popular Skirt Model.
A popular skirt model Is short
enough to clear the ground, the same
length all around, cut with such
straight lines that 1t looks quite scant,
while in reality it has sufficient width
to permit long STEP and is finished
around the hem with a band of cloth,
satin or silk. Over the fiat band or
fold falls the overskirt, finished with
wide band of embroidery or lace.
The waist Is extremely simple, rather
full and not exaggeratedly short
wasted; the sleeves, elbow length or
rather longer, are quite small, but not
too tight, and have bands of entire
deux in lace or embroidery. There is
q most becoming fichu of mousseline
de sole, edged with lace, with ends
crossed In front and fastened under a
wide girdle of the mousseline de sole.
satin or silk. The fichu Is crossed
quite high at the throat, and is drawn
we'll up on the shoulders, as though to
show that the gown is for afternoon
and not for evening. AS has been
said, the original model is of lingerie
or lace, but 1t can be carried out quite
satisfactorily in other materials, and
the embroidery around the skirt can
be omitted II heavier material be
chosen for the gown.

Important Issues.

Editor Kennehec Journal
a national election perhaps the most
important of any had since the Civil
War is imminent and it will be fought
out by the Republican and Democratic
parties on issues of tremendous import
te the peace and prosperity of the
country.
The position of the Democratic par
~ on these issues is not the position
Of Maine and the anomalous situation
which shows Maine misrepresented on
these vital issues is wholly due To the
fact that the voters of Maine. be-
glliled by the recommendations of
Democratic State platforms, dis
missed national issues from consid
GRAFTON and elected men tn Congress
and to the Legislature opposed TO
Republican principles in which they
halieve
Independent voting which leads as
sumedly intelligent men into such an
unaesired situation as this-te Wit:
the wholesale reputation of the Re-
publican party and that by RepubH-
cans. is not Independent voting and
the Democratic managers So far re-
gard the performance as strict party
voting in their favor that the Legis-
lature refused to pass a new ballot
law in amendment of the present SIS
TEN which Coy. Plaisted denounced az
wicked
Now the very practical question is
shall the Republican party of this
State.-a party that has long enjoyed
an enviable reputation for adjusting
fractional differences-continue to con-
duet political campaigns on decisive
issues and these of minor Importance,
to the sacrifice of vital and far
reaching principles? o.
The prospects of Democratic success
in the State and Nation are wholly
based on divisions among Republicans
which do not touch the paramount is
sue upon which the next presidential
election will be fought. and a party
which is considered unfit by reason Of
it's principles and practices to conduct
State affairs is also unfit to be rep
resented in the national councils.
Theories aside, the political party
that controls the State is the party
that is represented in the national
councils and Maine is misrepresented
there today because certain Republi-
cans losing their balance adopted the
tactics of the Third Party Prohibition
lists in seeing only one thing. II the
National Democrats come in in 1917
they viii see many other things.
