Hour for Stout Women.

Now is the time for the stout wom- an to rejoice, for. indeed, her hour has come at last. No longer will she have to look on in helpless envy while her slender sister frivols around
 in wide. graceful circles, She I never have to sit silently by and watch the conquest of the beach car ried off by clinging vine. The worm has turned at last. and the sturdy oak" type of woman can rest as .ured that her martyrdom is over. The spring styles prove conclusively that the narrow belt has come to stay.

BEST TO COMPROMISE
DURATION OF FULL SKIRT STYLE
 IS UNCERTAIN.
Wisest Course Is to Have Them Made of Moderate Width With a Lean- ing Toward Fulness-Alter-
 Ina Last Years Gowns.

In going over the seasons ward robe 1t is the best to stake ones chances on the wide skirt staying with us until July or August. There are dressmakers who are prophets, and who say that we shall probably wear the full skirt for two or three years at least. There are others who say it will be out of fashion by mid summer. The only way to be even partly safe is to compromise on mod crate width with leaning toward fullness.
 If your last summer skirts he'd long tunics, the remedy is easy. That truism has been repeated over and again for two months. The added fact that the new skirts, both plaited and circular have wide bands of differ ent fabric and sometimes of diff even more hope for successful altera- tion.
 Plating is ln high demand and the knife-plaited tunic, therefore, which was considered as an unfashionable garment, can be made into skirt by the addition of a deep band It may be of satin if the skirt is of cloth, or cloth if the skirt is of silk. No one objects to these combinations nowadays.
 Then there is the question of the long sleeve to be answered. Suppose ho loc ha otc had three-quarter sleeves-what then? Fortunately, fashion has brought about the use of double sleeves. The upper part is opaque, the lower part transparent; therefore one can add chiffon or muslin, net or lace to a short sleeve and bring it down to the wrist These lower sleeves are very often full as well as transparent, and they are finished at the wrist with a velvet bracelet and narrow ruffle. All these details are good to remem-

ARE YOUR COWS EFFICIENT?
Milk Scales and Babcock Tester Es- sential In Conducting Successful
 Dairy-Discard Boarders.

Putting the efficiency test to COWS with the milk scales and the Bab- cock tester is one of the essentials of conducting a successful dairy. When feed is high in price farmer cannot afford te have boarders in his dairy barn who eat up more in feed than their milk yield is worth. The Bab- cock test will show these delinquent COWS in their true light. and the milk scales will put the clincher on the argument. Testing COWS will give some farmers big surprise. Some time the COW that looks like the poor est creature in the lot Is the best butterfat producer.
 Cow testing associations among dairymen afford the most economical use of the Babcock tester and the scales.

recognize them as friends. Thus many of these helpful little insects are de- stroyed, when they should be carefully protected
 One oi the most conspicuous eX- amples in history of controlling pest by means of lady-beetles occurred in California some twenty-five years ago An Australian insect known as the fluted or cottony cushion scale ap- peared in California on orange trees and spread so rapidly over the state that the extensive orange growing in- dustry was threatened. By request, MT. Albert Koebele was appointed agent of the United States to attend the Melbourne exposition, and while in Australia paid special attention to searching for the insect enemies of the futed scale. A lady beetle was found feeding upon the scale and specimens were collected, and five separate lots (altogether about 800 specimens) were brought from Aus tralia to California and placed upon the scale-infested trees. The lady beetles multiplied and their progeny were soon transported to each orange growing section In few years the cottony cushion scale had been brought under complete control by the Australian lady-beetle; it has never since done much damage on the Pa cific coast, and the orange industry still flourishes.
 In less striking manner and on a smaller scale our native lady-beetles are continually demonstrating their ability to clean up shrubs, trees and even orchards which were severely at tackled by plant lice. There are about 250 different kinds of lady-beetles in this country.

WHITEWASH FOR THE TREES
Excellent Protection Afforded to Bark From Sunburn and Borers--
 Keeps Rabbits Away.

Whitewash is an excellent protec- tion to the bark from both sunburn and borers. It is particularly valu- able for young trees, as after trees reach a good size the branches gen erally become sufficiently large and the foliage sufficiently thick to shade the bark and prevent the injury that the hot sun would otherwise do.
 The best time to apply the white wash is in the early spring, or before the sun has become too hot and yet at a time when the danger of heavy rains washing off the lime is passed. It is not we'll to delay too long or the sun burn may occur in clear weather be- tween rains.
 There are dozens of whitewash reel pes, all with merit, some more dur able than others, and durable white wash is generally to be desired. For fruit trees a whitewash can be made by the addition of tallow, which is durable and also protection against rabbits. Such a wash can be made with 30 pounds of lime, pounds of tallow and pounds of salt. The salt is dissolved in the water used in slaking the lime and the tallow added to the hot mixture, which is thinned to the desired consistency before using.
 Spoiled fat or grease of any kind can be substituted for the tallow and the amount can be increased if de- sired. If there is danger of attract ing animals by the salt, it can be left out

Damask Lunch Cloths.

Some of the newest lunch cloths are being shown of embroidered damask. The material itself is ul- figured, but the embroidery Is usually elaborate. A very silky mercerized cotton Is employed for working out the design. and this. with the soft sheen of the damask makes very rich cloth almost too pretty for table use. These cloths are more practical when made in the size of large cen terpiece, for then the individual plate and tumbler doilies of plain lace edged damask can be used to protect the polished table surface and are more easily laundered than the heav. fly embroidered cover.

FRIENDS OF PLANT GROWERS
Lady Bugs" Feed Upon PIant-lice, Scale insects and Other Pests
 Entitled to Protection.
(By ". E. BRITTON)

The beetles commonly known as lady beetles, "lady birds 'lady-bugs' or plant-louse beetles, are among the very best friends of the farmer or plant grower, because they feed in both larval and adult stages upon plant-lice scale-insects. and the small larvae and eggs of other and larger noxious insects. Dr. s. A. Forbes ex- amined the stomach contents of 39 specimens, and found that one-fourth of their food was composed of plant lice; though they ate some vegetable food. such as pollen and spores of fungi, greater portion of their food consisted of insects.
 Though many persons are more or less familiar with lady-bugs, some are not acquainted with their habits or life histories, and do not. therefore,

IMPORTANCE OF MILK HOUSE
Difficult to Properly Care for Dairy Products in Summer Without
 Suitable Building.

During the hot weather it is almost impossible to care for dairy products on the farm without suitable milk house. o. E. Reed of the Kansas Ag- ricultural college offers the following:
 Milk must be produced under sani- tary conditions, and to do this the milk house should be either separate from the dairy barn or arranged in such way that odors from the barn do not get to it.
 A 10 by 12-foot milk house is a good size for the average farm. It should be built with cement floor and have a drain at the center to carry away the waste. The equipment should con- sist of a refrigerating tank, 30 by 36 inches, inside measure. This will &C., commodate four milk cans. There should also be a cooler. aerator, wash and separator
 A windmill on the side nearest the refrigerating tank will pump cold wa ter from the well into one corner of

DAIRY NOTES
Regularity in feeding pays.

Regularity in feeding pays.
 The more the study. the greater the success in dairying,
 The difference is in the COW, rather than the feed or milker or the churn.
 The farm separator Is too good a stepmother for the calf to get along without.
 The more man appreciates the maternity of the dairy COW the better dairyman he is.
 Immediately after milking. strain the milk from the pail through three thicknesses of cheese cloth.
 Some cows not only do not make profit but are kept at loss, as they do not give enough milk to pay for their feed
 It is not hard for a dairy farmer to sleep we'll on cold winter nights when he has a silo full of corn and . barn full of hay.
 Grain and feed marketed through the butter mold and the cream can will generally bring top prices. no matter how the market may be for your grain and feed.

Wooed and Won on Shipboard, Husband Is Murdered in
 Mexico.
F0RET0LD HIS DOOM
American Shot Dead With Own Re. voIver by Enrased Employee-Sis- ters, Alleging Loan, Sue to
 Recover From Estate.

New York.-Another tragedy of Mex supreme court.
 The immediate action concerns only the efforts of a sister to recover $20,- 900 from the S1,500,000 estate of her brother, who was murdered in Mexico. Behind it all appear the details of shipboard courtship, the marriage, the hazardous life in the turbulent coun- try and the last scene, the violent death of the husband after he had ac- cumulated a fortune at the cost of much hardship.
 In the fall of 1907 Albert H. Law renee, whose name at birth was Les Zynsky, started for Mexico to look after "El Portrero' sugar plantation in the state of Vera Cruz. On the same steamship was Miss Virginia Pernet, a young southern society wom- an, whose father, accompanying her, was a large sugar-cane grower in Mex ico.
 setrothed on Voyage.
 Lawrence and Miss Pernet were en- gagged to be married before the vessel arrived at Vera Cruz. Even the details of the nuptials had been arranged in the brief courtship. Owing to parental opposition, however, Miss Pernet was not married to Lawrence until late in 1908.
 The turmoil of the revolution-strick en country did not appeal to the gen tie tastes of the southern woman. and Lawrence himself became unhappy on his wife's account.
 When Lawrence came to New York in 1912 to attend to some business af' fairs he had premonition oI impend' ing peril which he confided to his sec. retary, Mrs Mott This will be the last time you will ever see me" said Lawrence. "I have premonition that will never again come to New York. Someone is going to kill me"
 And Lawrence, so convinced that he had properly read his own horoscope, began making preparations for his impending fate. He gathered togeth'

 As strong as the belt and normal waist line seemed to be among the majority of gowns, there is also a very fashionable frock that calls for a straight line from shoulder to hem. It is slim until it reaches the hips, where the side plating begins to spring out and give it flare. These frocks have low hip pieces formed of embroidery or machine cording to break the long lines down the body. They are especially effective in white linen trimmed with pale yellow and in pongee and shantung.
