ONE OF THE NEW SHIRT WAISTS.

The new shirt waists are sure to
be interesting at the opening OF the
season. We all need them and 1t is
encouraging to know that new and
attractive ones are offered. Here is
a model smart in the extreme, with
tucks that give the fashionable
'bosom" effect and with one over each
shoulder TO give breadth. The back
may be made plain or with an ap-
piled yoke so that both the long and
the short WASTED sisterhood can be
suited. Linen and madras always
suggest themselves Immediately when
the tailored waist is under consider
alton but today we use satin and silk
I'm much the same way as washable
materials. Colored charmeuse satin
is exceedingly handsome made in this
way and there is a white satin that
is sufficiently washable to make 1t
desirable The striped tub silks are
wonderfully beautiful. too. and there
lis a genuine satisfaction IN the shirt
waist made therefrom. The soft,
rolled-over cuffs and the stiff straight
ones are equally fashionable. Which
IS better depends entirely upon the
material. This waist can be finished
with either

Currants and gooseberries should
be trained and pruned to the bush
form rather than to the tree form.
On these plants the fruit buds are
produced on the older wood. The
number of crops the canes should be
allowed to produce before renewing
will depend great deal on the vigor
Of the plant Usually cane will
produce three to four crops before it
is necessary to remove it. If few
new canes are allowed to mature each
season, the old canes can be gradual
ly removed as the new ones come into
bearing. The number of canes to al
low each plant will depend upon the
soil and the distance of setting.
Plants set five or six feet apart each
way can usually support from four to
six strong canes. Each year the new

Strawberries New plants of the
strawberry are secured from runners
or propagating shoots of the parent
plant. A single plant will produce
several runners and from three to five
new plants on each runner. When
a new bed is started the runner plants
nearest the parent plants only, should
be used, as they are more vigorous
than plants taken from near the tip
of the runner.
Raspberries-New plants of the
blackcap raspberry are secured by
covering the tips of shoots young
canes) with dirt during late summer.
Roots will form on these covered tips
which can be transplanted the fol-
lowing spring, as new plant.
Loganberris are usually propagated
by the same method.
Red raspberries do not propagate
from tips of the canes, but send out
suckers or underground stems from
the roots. New roots are formed on
these suckers, a cane or stalk is pro-
duced during the summer, and the
young plant may be reset either late
the same fall or the following spring.
An old plant may often be induced

THE FEIJOA In CALIFORNIA.

l have recently had some CORE
spOndence relative to a trial of the
feijoa, a semi- tropical fruit of which
southern California predicts wonder
full things, and hope that it can be
grown in the Puget Sound region if
it is as valuable as the Californians
say it is. Following is an article
taken from the Monrovia Daily News,
of Monrovia, CAL:
"Among the wonder fruits which

growth should be headed back about
half of it's length. This will produce
a short stout cane, strong fruit buds,
and well developed fruit. In local
tiles where the wood growth is ex-
tremely long, as it is in Western
Washington, it is good practice to
drive stout stake near each currant
bush, and when the fruits are about
half grown, tie the canes to the stake
with strong cord. This will often
save a heavily fruited cane from
breaking.

Propagating of Small Fruits

to form many new ones from its roots
by cutting the roots with a spade or
by blowing close to the crown of the
plant.
Blackberries Produce new plants
from the roots like the red raspberry.
Currants and gooseberries These
plants are usually propagated either
by mound layerage or by cuttings
made from the young shoots. Mound
layerage is perhaps the simplest of
the two methods. Soil is mounded
over the crown of each plant, cover
ing the base of each young cane. AS
soon as the roots have formed the
cane may be severed from the parent
plant and the newly formed plant re-
set. Mounding is best done in the
summer after the crop has been har-
vested.
When a great many new plants are
desired, cuttings can be made from
the newly formed wood. In favorable
localities, cuttings can be made just
after pruning, in early spring, and
the clippings Of the young wood set
in trenches in the soil. A piece of
wood about the length and diameter
of lead pencil makes very con-
venient cutting for handling. Before
planting, the soil should be thorough
Iy prepared to a depth of ten inches.
Cuttings are easily set by opening a
crack in the soil with a spade, insert
ing the cutting with buds pointing
upward, replacing the spade few
inches from the cutting, and by
pressing forward on the handle of the
spade, force the soil firmly around
the cutting. 1t is usually preferable
to set cuttings of gooseberry and cur
rants deep enough to allow about two
buds below the surface of the soil and
two above. This will generally in
sure roofing and vigorous top.
In some localities where it is diff
cult to start hardwood cuttings di-
rectly in the field, they may be start
ed in a cold frame and transferred to
the field as soon as they are we'll cal
loused. When handling in this way
the cuttings are tied in punches, in
verified in moist sand with buds point
ing downward, and covered by an
inch or two of sand. This may be
done any time during the fall after
the wood has become well ripened.
The object of inverting the cuttings
is to keep the buds dormant while
heat is applied to the base or butt
end of the cutting. A few weeks be-
fore planting time in the. spring layer
of decomposing horse manure should
be spread over the sand in which
the cuttings are imbedded. This
will heat the butt end of the cuttings
and induce callousing and formation
of root growth. Additional heat may
be added by using glass sash over
the decomposing manure. Care
should be taken to keep the sand
moist around the cuttings az all
times. AS soon as the callous and
swelling which usually proceeds the
root growth has started, the cuttings
may be transferred to a carefully pre-
pared nursery bed, and planted, just
as cuttings set directly into the field.

Mrs. F. H. Merrill, who lives direct

home, noticed, shortly before y o'clock,
a thin column of smoke. rolling from
the window on the north of the house.
AS she watched, the smoke grew in vol

house was on fire. She told her son,
Harold, and he ran across.
Repeated pounding upon the door
brought no answer, and young Merrill,
instead of attempting to force the door
or ascertaining if it was locked, ran to
the yard and yelled fire, and then ran
to the nome of John Horne, who lives
a short distance above there.
Here he notified Fred Blake of the
fire in the Eldridge home. Blake lost no
time and found the door unlocked and
easily opened. He was driven back by
the fire, now blazing flercely in the
sitting room, and great volumes OF
smoke poured through the open door.

Boats are being constructed as
