new YORK FASHIONS
New York, March 4th.

There seemsstO be no season of a shop
or department. with a display of pretty
new blouses that does not prove attractive
and this is especially so at this time when
one wants smart top to fFeshen up a
worn suit or go well with the new "tsilor
made" There is no end to the variety
shown in these useful and becoming gar
ments-the only novel feature is the
'Coatee" or peplum below the belt line.
This assumes various forms. 1t may be
continuous all round extending down
from six to nine inches for slight girlish
figures, or it may be as long but appeal
only at front aud back which is becoming
TO people who wish to increase the length
Of the waist; o; it may be cut away from
the front aud gradually increase in length
10 the back in regular coat fashion.
LINGERIE WAISTS
Lingerie waists are made-in this Style
quite as darker ones, and, where length
of line is desired, trimmings are continu-
Gus on waist and peplum. More waists are
shown in the shops with sleeves set in
than cut in one, but the imported gar
nents and most exclusive shoWings still
clirg to the Peasant cut. The strictly
mannish shirt or liable silk with soft
turnover collar held by link button and
cuffs similarly fastened is favorite for
run about and school wear, and in this
there is usually no attempt to match the
suit in color, but all other waists are select
ed to match the dress and often have a
little of the dress material carried up on
the waist in bib or shoulder strappings to
give that continuity of effect that improves
any costume.
THREE OR MORE MATERIALS
Three or more materials are often used
in such waists and net linirqs are increae-
ingly popular since these ,Yst Ne,t, are
light, and permit of elaborate effects with
littl6 work. The outer material is usual

$1,000, 900 for Good Roads

In the matter of good roads it seems
likely that Delaware will soon be leading
the procession. About so years ago, Geo.
7. Coleman Du Pont, president of the Du
Pont Powder Company announced bis
willingness to build a state road from the
northern to the southern boundry line Of
Delaware. The surveys for this road have
been completed and nov. General Du Pont
announces that with the reservation of
81, ,000, 600 for his heirs, he will devote
the whole of his estate to building solid
macadamized roads in Delaware and ad.
joining states. The DUPONT wealth is es-
timated at about Sl2, OOO, 600, which, sup
posing the estimate to be correct, means
that $l1, ,0OO,OO will be used for giving
Delaware the best system of roads, in pro-
portion to area, to be found anywhere in
the Union. Gen. DuPont's purpose is to
construct or assist In the construction Of
roads tributary to Delaware, though they
be without the state boundary lines.

FARM NEWS AND VIEWS

The prospect is for plenty of apples this
year.
Cowpeas are splendid for either hay or
pasture.
Clover lie cut for seed after all the heads
have turned brown.
Ripe, dry corn, if put in the silo,
should by all means be Watered.
Land for vetch should be plowed and
prepared the same as for sowing.
Add few more roosts until the pou!-
try is thinDed out for winter.
Never allow the calf to get fat in the
sense that the beef breeder desires.
A few hens are always profitable while
very large focks are seldom SO.
Soaked grain generally puts on slightly
faster gains than dry grain.
Winter rye has usually survived with
out any protection from stubble or other
growth.
1t is not unusual for the cream from a
COW advances faf in lactation to be diff
cult to churn.
The chief benefit from silage fed to
hogs, at least that from corn, lies in the
grain in the feed.
Alfalfa or clover is reIished by hogs,
whether green or as hay or silage, If the
after is not too acid.
Corn smut does not to any extent, harm
the feeding value of corn fodder so far as
cattle are concerned.
The feeding OF silage to hogs has been
tired experimentaIIy by several stations,
but with varied success.
Keep the straw berry patch free from
weeds especially the parennials, such as
plantain.
Trees to do their best should be planted
in blocks or groves rather than in single
rows.
Ascertain the varieties OF fruits and vege
tables wanted in the markets desired to
NJ a .unlz=d.
Pears should be gathered just as coon
as the stem will break from the limb BY
lifting up the pear.
II there are any limbs dead or out Of
shape on the young trees now is good
time to look after them.
Grow trees for post timber, lumber, nuts
fruits as we'll as evergreens and ornamen-
tails for the home grounds.
When your crop is ready, grade care
fully and pack properly to suit the market
and the nature of the products packed.
Plenty of sunlight in and around the
fruit is what gives the "classy" finish to
the fruit and makes it sell at the top of
market.
Cltan tilIage from early spring until
late fall is the only approved method OF
straw berry culture unless heavy mulches
are used
TIE blackberry is easily propagated by
means Of root cutting; that is one reason
why itsprouts SO badly when deep cult
yaiion is practiced.
DON'T neglect to commence feeding tie
colts some grain before they are weaned.
Is the slobberirg horse in need OF more
grain, or may it not be that its teeth need
f ing?
The Fpling colt should be as gentle as a
kitten by this time and know what hall
ter is for.
A good draft Lorse is a good farm horse
either to wear out in the field or to sell
when mature.
There are a good many breeders who
still believe that it is profitable to grind
corn for the hogs.
Hold on to some of the clover for
spring feeding. 1t is great when the
sheep get tired Of timothy.
The backs OF swine are often injured by
juvenile Trough riders' who choose hogs
for their mounts.

In the purchase Of a new horse always
purchase mare. She will raise you some
colts, which will increase the farm profits.
Whether you should breed your two
year old flly depends somewhat upon
the care she has had and the condition
she is in.
Waiting to teach the colt to eat grain
until it is weaned is poor economy, as the
colt will surely receive bad setback.
Horses with tender feet need lots OF at
tenlion. 1t should be remembered that a
horse can do more than his feet will
stand.
The foul cistern spreads disease.
lis not advisable to add a silage
The nurse crop is going out of business.
Pow up the grasshopper e2g-infested
fields this fall.
|, You can raise this amount on three
acres of good land.
There should be place for everything
but not out OF doors.
Buckthorn makes splendid hedge. It
is hardy and easily grown.
Pit the corn into the silo as near as pos
sible at the hard-glazing stage.
Nine millions a year are spent in the
maintenance of roads in England.
1t is encouraging to see how quickly
the pastures respond to frequent rains.
High, well drained soil is best, but the
grspe will grow on most any kind of soil
and exposure.
The general hay crop is short, and tie
careful farmer will save every possible
bit of corn fodder.
Cowpeas do not do SO we'll at the north
as at the south.
Corn should be a cultivated crop in
every sense of the word.
Watch your cabbage and prevent the
splitting of heads if possible.
The bean harvest is very dependent

Whipping Post Makes Foe

Wilmington, Del, March 3.-Having
witnessed the application of the lash on
the bare backs of several prisoners at the
workhouse yesterday, Rev. Charles Can
dee, pastor of the Westminster Presby-
terian Church, declares that he disap-
proves of this form Of punishment for
criminals, on the ground 8hat it is not
iustifable. He said they were the first
whippings he had seen and he hoped they
would be the last. He conducts religious
services at the workhouse once each
month.
The minister stated that he believed in
the teaching that punishment is supposed
to be reformative, whereas the whippings
are degrading. The minister praised the
warden and other prison officials for the
lenient manner in imposing the Whippinga
and covering the backs of the prisoners
with blankets when possible.
Candee witnessed the whippings to get
,he facts first hand, because Mrs. Balling-
on Booth had written to him that she be-
Ieved accounts of the Delaware whipping
post were exaggerated.
