BLOSSOMS HAVE FIRM HOLD
All Sorts Of Artificial Flowers Hold
Place on the Costume That 10
Strictly In Style.

Artificial flowers have their place
on dress as perhaps never before. But
they represent particular order Of
artificial fiowers-blossoms In satin,
velvet and plush-in fact. something
quite new.
AS to the velvet and satin roses
and lilies, no dressmaker could do
without them at the present time.
A single corsage sometimes displays
two or three in different places. They
nestle in folds Of embryo painters.
and show themselves as headings in
masses Of skirt drapery.
A big blossom has its place by right
at the waist, and when a sash is worn
the ends generally seem to fall from
It; but flowers In velvet, satin or
plush are not the only artificial ones
now having to do with dress.

be allowed. A small calf, as a Jersey.
does not need over eight or ten pounds
per day on the start. Feed this in
three feeds. for two or three weeks.
AS the calf grows older a little more
milk may be used. but at no time does
ii need over eight or nine quarts -
sixteen or eighteen pounds. Over
feeding is the most common cause of
poor success in calf-raising 1t is a
good rule to always keep the calf a
little hungry.
At the end of two weeks change
gradually - by replacing a pound or
two of the whole milk-to skim-milk.
Keep changing from whole to skim a
little each day until the change is
complete. Then increase the quantity
to IA or Is pounds per day. The milk
must always be warm, and sweet
when fed. Nothing will more quickly
upset the digestion of the calf than
feeding warm milk at one feed and
cold at another. Old or stale milk
will cause indigestion and sc.urs. Bet
ter let the calf miss a meal than feed
1t on sour milk. All pals and uten-
sils must be kept. clean-as clean as
the milk pals.
Teach the calf early to eat grain
This should be placed in a box easy
of access, and encourage them at first
by placing a little in the mouth after
they have consumed their milk Corn
meal and whole or crushed oats -
equal parts-can hardly be improved
upon for experimenting skim-milk
After two or three months, shelled
corn is just as good. Calves will be
gin to nibble hay almost as soon as
they will eat grain. Timothy or
mixed hay is fine for young calves
After three or four months they should
be fed some legume hay (alfalfa
clover or cowpeas). An abundance of
clean water should be provided at all
times and salt also after the animal
is old enough to eat grain and hay

NV c H ECKLES.)

(By c. II. ECKLES)
The dairy calf is ordinarily raised
by hand since the milk of the dairy
COW is usually worth so much more
than the calf that 1t receives first con-
sideration. II is a well established
fact that a calf raised on skim-milk is
equally as good as one nursed by Its
mother. In localities familiar with
dairying this is well understood, but
In other places Is virtually unknown
and a strong prejudice exists against
feeding skim-milk on account Of the
unhealthy and understood calves that
have been raised in this way. Such
calves are the victims of ignorance or
carelessness. The skim-milk calf raised
probably differs little, II any. in size,
quality. thrift and value from the
same animal when raised by the COW.
The skim-milk differs from the un-

contains. The fat is not the most i'm
portant part Of the milk for the calf.
Protein builds up the muscles, nerves.
hair, hoofs. and horns while ash is
used for building the bones. The fat
furnishes heat and fat. A substitute
for the fat can be supplied much
cheaper with grains. such as corn.
The skim-milk calf is not generally
quite so fat during the first six months
of its life as the one nursed by the COW
but often has better development of
bone and muscle. The calf should have
the cows milk for the first few days,
as the calf seems to need the
colostrum milk to start the organs of
digestion properly. Take the calf away
in a few days, II the cows udder is in
good condition. II not. 1t is best to
leave the calf with the mother little
longer. Mixed milk should then be
given-not too rich-as rich milk may
cause indigestion.
For the first two weeks, five or six
quarts, or about ten or twelve pounds
per day. is all the largest calf should

The Tobacco splitwerm.

Bulletin So of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture has the following to
say in regard to the tobacco split
worm, or leaf miner:
when the early infection is very
severe, trim OF and destroy the in
fected leaves; destroy all tobacco
stubble as soon as the crop is har-
vested to prevent the breeding Of a
alternating generation; clean up and
destroy all trash In and around fields
and tobacco barns; do not follow po-
tatoes by tobacco II the infection OF
tobacco has been more severe in such
cases than where different rotation
was followed; grow potatoes as far as
possible from tobacco fields"

and these seem Unfortunately popular
as trimmings for first-season hats.
All hats still incline to smallness,
though they tend to become higher In
proportion to their narrowness. Take.
for example, the two of the sketch.
No. is of navy tagal. with a round
crown closely Rugged by an upstand-
ing brim which spreads" a little at
the top and base. Ribbed satin in q
smart shade OF burnt orange is used
for the huge bow. Two ends are
draped over the outside Of the brim,
while the two loops, ctnningly wired,
rise above the central knot.
No. 2 Is a youthful and becoming
model. known along the Riviera as
the Casino hat. The shape is seen
frequently with a crown of chiffon
over malines drawn into the bandeau
brim of velvet or satin. Several smart
copies have been developed in flow
cred and plain taffetas, like the one
represented.
An Alice blue taffeta, delicately
lowered with little clusters In dull
colorings, is used here for the pulled
crown. Taffeta is good for this pur-
pose, having sufficient body to stand
without dropping. The bandeau brim
Is of black velvet, narrower in back
than in front, and there are long
black shaved quilts. topped with fat
feather medallions, set directly In
front as a trimming.
1t can be made extremely modish
In an allblack development Of taffeta.
and for the evening the chiffon crowns
will be found quantity pretty.

BIRD AND ARBOR DAY

Arbor and Bird Day was celebrated
throughout the state Friday Of last
week, especially in the schools of the
smaller towns and rural communities.
In all the schools of the state the pro-
clamation of Governor Charles R. Miller
was read and the aims and purposes of
the day explained. In the lower and
primary grades Of the city schools the
teachers explained the objects of the
day.
In the country schools, and those in
the smaller towns the celebration was
more in accord with the original object
of the day. In the majority of these
schools, special exercises were held at
which the proclamation of the Governor
was read and recitations symbolic of the
day were recited. At many of the rural
schools trees and shrubbery were plant
ed by the scholars.
The suffrage tree" which was to
have been planted by Wilmington suf-
fragists in Brandywine Park, did not
arrive from the nursery and the exer-
cises were postponed until later date.
1t had been planned to set out the tree
along the Brandywine, the exercises
being under the charge of Miss Mary R.
