DAINTY SCARFS FOR SUMMER
OF All Kinds and Descriptions, and
Generally More Elaborate Than

MarabOut and ostrich scarfs are
more elaborate than ever.
There Is no end to the possibilities
that lie within the f1uf1ness of the
feathers, combined with folds or shir-
rings Of chiffon.
An edging of black and white mara
bout completes a bit of feminine
daintiness that would add charm to
any costume.
A fancy bow Of cerise velvet COM
bined with chiffon in the same shade
has long ends that would be especial
ly effective on white frock
The most popular scarfs have bodies
OF shirred chiffon with edgings OF
marabout that either match or are in
striking contrast.
They are SO simple in design that
any woman even passably clever with
the needle can fashion one in an after
noon.

ton and the set looks we'll with an

0'Gormam and Murphy Split.

New York, May Limited States
Senator James A. O'Gorman and
Charles F. Murphy, boss of Tam
many, who made him the successor
of Chauncey NJ Depew, have split
politically, and every day and every
action of Mr.. O'Gorman accentuates
the difficulty.
Their differences came into the
limelight when Murphy failed to at
tend the dinner given to the Sena-
tor at the Manhattan Club on Sat
urday night. He will have another
opportunity to show his feeling by
failing to attend the dinner of the
National Democratic Club to the
Senator tomorrow evening at the
Hotel Aston.
Murphy, it is stated-and it is so
understood in Washington sold
himself gold brick when he
rushed to Albany on a milk train to
make O'Gorman Senator. He
didn't know what kind of man he
was choosing. He believed, because
he was electing an Irishman and a
Catholic, that the victory was his.
Now Murphy has awakened not on
ly to the fact that he can't handle
O'Gorman, but that the Senator, if
pressed far, may be driven to lead
the fight on Murphy for control of
the State which will be made by the
upstate Democrats.
Senator O'Gorman is a progressive
of progressives, radical, and sin
gle taxer.
He is miles away from the kind
of a man Murphy wanted to send to
the United States Senate. In this

how the leaves slide on each other.
As the soil moves sidewise on the
moldboard the pulverizing action
takes place in q different position.
and as the soil leaves the moldboard
it Is again pulverized.
In case the soil is dry it breaks up
into Jumps and the pulverizing action
does not take place. In fact, blowing
the soil when dry is about like knead-
ing the -four instead Of the dough,
and any woman can tell you what
folly that would be. If ladies pay SO

knead the dough and to baking, then
why should not the men pay as much
attention to having the soil in the

get the pulverizing action of the pillow,

KEYNOTE TO TREE GROWING
Success Depends Upon Furnishing
Conditions Required for Making
Growth-FeW Trees on Plains.

(By W: c. PALMER, Agricultural Editor,
North Dakota Agricultural College.
Success in tree growing depends
upon furnishing the tree the condi.
tons which are required for making
growth. 1t needs sunshine and air,
which it gets by sending up it's stems,
spreading it's branches and unfolding
its leaves; temperature it gets by
taking advantage of the season; mois
ture and plant food are not so easily
secured by trees on the prairies, which
is the reason. that there are so few
trees on the western plains. {
When man assists the tree it grows
rapidly and thrives. The main thing
TO- be done Is to supply the, moisture
:; neededg nd this can be brought about
by simply keeping the grass and
weeds from, growing over the tree
roots; for their roots are nearer the
surface than the tree. consequently,
they have, the first chance at ths
moisture. The result in this; unfair
competition Is that the tree suffers.
;. Judging from the way some people
dig right around the trunk of q tres
and apply fertilizer and manure there
one would think that the roots were
all In a bundle. This is not the case
however. The roots extend to quite
a distance from the, trunk; 30 that
whatever caativat5oa or mulching OF
fertilizing Ii done should extend Out

POULTRY NOTES.

Cleanliness In feeding will guard
against diseases to which poultry are
liable
Keep the dust box supplied with
nice clean dust, and see that the grit
box Is never empty.
A SO rooster is generally cheaper
than So one. The good blood will
tell the second year.
A dull, sunken eye in fowl denotes
defective nutritive power and lack Of
constitution and vigor.
Oyster shell is absolutely the best
shell-making food for the hens. Keep
1t before them constantly.
Keeping many breeds is a poor way
to succeed. Get down to one or two
varieties and give them the best Of
care. = 49,.
Duck eggs do not hatch as we'll II
they need to be washed. Therefore
keep the duck pen bedded with clean
litter.
The best place in the world for the
poultry yard ia the orchard-any kind
Of an orchard where insects abound.
An occasional feed Of chopped onions
will be very acceptable to the chick
ems when they are confined to their
houses. "a. 6. -
The baby ducks are just as well of,
in fact better, without water to swim
In until they have grown their crop OF
feathers. ~
If the hens were compelled to work
little harder these days for what
grain they get 1t would be good thing
for them.
Duck eggs should be set under hens,
II early broods are wanted. Hens
make better mothers, at least for the
early broods. than ducks.
The poultry raiser who Is too lazy
to keep his poultry house absolutely
free from vermin, does not deserve
success. nor will he have it.
Oyster shells ground fine are excel
lent for supplying lime. A pound Of
shells contains enough lime to thor
oughly coat seven dozen eggs.
The picking of live geese for the
live geese feathers, so called, Is prac-
tced less and less. It is cruel prac.
tice,s and ought to be- entirely abol-
ished. L<~,,
Too low temperature In the brooder,
improper food and injudicious feeding,
even IL right kinds of food are given,
