The sailor hat made it's entrance
into the assemblages of early spring
millinery with straight and narrow
brim and many novel oddities of trim
ming. So much enthusiasm was de-
veloped for this trim little favorite In
headwear that many variations in its
shape were launched, and the public
soon showed preference for the
wider brimmed kinds. 1t would be
hard to predict just where the limit
will be set in width of brim, for al
ready big "cartwheel" sailors of black
taffeta have captivated the fancy of
women whose approval spells success
for any style that they adopt.
But sailors of conservative width

variations in the size and shape and

The hat of milan at the left of the

edge. A very long curled quill Is
thrust through both band and crown

The third sailor is made OF hemp

PRUNING OF THE PEACH TREE
Limited Amount Of Summer Work Can
Be Done to neutrality-suspicious.
Operations to Minimum.

Sometimes the owner Of peach or
chard will find 1t necessary to prune
his trees throughout the winter when
ever the weather is suitable for men
to work in the orchard, particularly II
the operations are very extensive. But
if the fruit buds are endangered dur
ing the winter by adverse tempera-
lures, 1t may be advisable to delay
pruning as much as economic condi-
tions permit until settled spring wealth
err arrives. This is especially advis-
able If heavy heading in OF the pre-
vious seasons growth Is involved,
since the proportion of live buds may
determine the extent to which the cut
ting back should be carried.
A limited amount Of summer prun-
ing usually can be done to advantage.
The trees should be observed con-
stantly throughout the season Of active
growth. Whenever a branch is seen
which is so placed that 1t obviously
will need to be removed at the annual
pruning for the shaping up of the tree,
It is we'll to take 1t off at once. In
this way the annual pruning can be
reduced to minimum and the removal
of large limbs rarely will be necessary.

KEEP UP FERTILITY OF SOIL
When Trees Begin to Show Signs Of
Starvation Nothing 10 Better Than
Application Of Manure.

A great many farm orchards have
been left in sod for many years and
are In sod at the present time. Many
are cultivated each year and the crop
taken off the land, says Farmers
Guide. In most cases no effort has
been made to keep up the fertility of
the soil. Apples are as profitable as
any crop grown on the farm. II the
trees are not taken care of, farmer
has no reason to expect that they will
give good yields. You do not expect
hogs and cattle to thrive without reg
ular feed, and just as truly the trees
will fail ii you starve them. The only
difference is, that because of store
of food in the earth, trees will live a
long time between feeds. This Is so
true that young trees growing on rich
land need no feed until after the fruit
ing years begin. But after tree has
borne three or four crops, it will BIO
much less vigorous. The leaves Will be
smaller and of a lighter color, and
they will be noticed to drop quite
early in the fall The leaders will
make but slow growth, perhaps none
at all, where few years earlier they
extended ten or twelve inches year.
The difference will be noticed in the
size Of the apples, for they will be
small and imperfect.
All these changes are danger sig
nails. Your trees are feeling the ex-
haustion of starvation. The remedy
is manuring, and nothing is so cheap
as the barnyard manure for it contains
matter which the soil needs to restore
its primitive condition. Do not feed
in half-hearted way, for when tree
feeds only once in eight or ten years
it needs a good big feed. Manure ap-
piled at the rate of Is to 20 loads per
acre is none too heavy.

GOOD PROTECTION FOR TREE
Where Splitting Is Threatened as Re-

Screws May Be Used.

When trees threaten to split down
as a result of wind storms or the bur-
den of fruit they can easily be pro-
tected by the use of ordinary lag
screws which can be bought at any
hardware store.
They should be six or eight inches
long and your blacksmith will turn the
heads into a hook as shown in the

deep enough to give the screws q

them in solidly and connect with a

Two pretty and inexpensive under
bodices, or corset covers, are pictured
here that were selected from great
number made of similar materials, as
the best of their kind. One Of them,
shown at the left of the picture. is OF
batiste, val lace and fine embroidery,
and the other is of crepe de chine and
shadow lace. Both utilize narrow lin
gerie ribbon in their makeup.
They are unusually interesting just
now because the underbodice Is al
most as conspicuous as the blouse Of
sheerest cottons or OF net. chiffon or
lace that Is worn over 1t. The filmiest
of materials are the ones most favored
for fancy blouses, and they are mostly
semitransparent, at their heaviest.
They merely veil the underbodice,
which becomes, therefore. an impor-
tant item of dress.
The bodice of batiste is made with
short, full sleeves. This Is an innova-
ton that Is to be recommended, be-
cause these sleeves protect the fragile
materials of which blouses are made.
They are help to the woman with too
slender arms who aspires to wearing
the thin blouse, and they improve the
set" of the blouse and jacket on a
thin figure. This is cut very simply on
the regulation corset-cover lines. A
band of very narrow beading, with an
edging of narrow val lace, finishes the
top and baby ribbon run through the
beading adjusts the bodice to the
figure.
A val insertion Is let in the bodice
about the top and in lattice pattern
on the body and sleeves. The sleeves
are finished at the lower edge, with
this insertion and lace edge to match.
The batiste is gathered in at the shout
der and also to the band of insertion
which confines 1t at the bottom of the
sleeve. A small pattern in embroidery
adorns the front of the bodice at each
side of the fastening, and a strip of
lace conceals small fat pearl buttons
and buttonholes. Like nearly all the
new models, this bodice hardly reaches
to the waist line. and is finished there
with beading and lace and adjusted
with baby ribbon.

ties of apple and onion. Place in

crumbs, season with lemon juice and
finish the top with buttered crumbs.

full of butter, add cupful of sugar,
two-thirds of cup of milk alternately
with two and half cupfuls of flour
which has been sifted, with two tea
spoonfuls of baking power and half

whites of three eggs. Divide into
three portions. Color one portion
rose, and flavor with rose extract,
color one green and flavor with pis-
tachio. Bake in layers, putting the
layers together with boiled icing to
which is added chopped raisins and
nuts. Frost with white icing and dec
