PRETTY IDEAS IN COSTUMES

Wearer-Advantases of the Gored
Skirt Are Many.

A pretty gown OF easement cloth is
combined with a fine and soft printed
cretonne. The easement cloth is in
periwinkle blue, the cretonne has a
bun ground almost hidden with clus-
tering periwinkle-colored flowers and
green foliage. and through all run a
line of black. 1t is further enhanced
by black buttons and a sash Of draped
black braid tied in a clever bow.
The gored skirt gives scope for all
sorts Of styles. and is certainly a most
sensible one for those who cling to a
closely fitted outline OF hip and yet

TREATMENT OF COVER CROPS
Thoroughly Cut Up Clover or other
Crops With Disk Harrow Before
Turning Over.

Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with a disk harrow. as the material
plowed under in a layer seriously in
terferes with the capillary action o.
the moisture in the soil. The effects
OF turning under in a layer are what
IS sometimes called souring the soil
with green manuring crops.
Double disk the cover crop two or
three times with a sharp disk harro"
before blowing; plow well by takins
a narrow furrow and edging rather
than inyerting the furrow: then
double disk the land again rather
deeply. and no injurious effect will re-

Out of a

The cattlemep aboard the big trans
Atlantic liner looked with disfavoE
upon the parties OF saloon passengers
who come between decks TO watch
them feed and water the steers. They
resented the intrusion. and the evi-
dent curiosity of these beings from a
world wholly alien from their expert

Perhaps il was the look upon
Mayne's face that struck the girl who
had fingered behind.
"You-you don't like US to come

He shrugged his shoulders. III the

among pigs kept in insanitary condi-
tons.
Inactivity OF the bowels most often
gives trouble In pregnant sows and
other adult hogs when given too little
exercise and too much rich food. In
such animals the liver is torpid. the
system feverish and the muscles and
other organs overloaded with fat.
Constipation seldom troubles where
hogs are led laxative foods. such as
bran faxseed meal. roots or alfalfa
durihg the winter season. and in add
ton are made TO take abundant out
door exercise.
In the common diseases OF young
pigs known as ricketts,. there is en-
largement, bending and distortion OF
the bones Of the joints and limbs. and
fractures OF leg bones are not uncom-
mon The bones of the body in az
fected pigs lack their normal proper
ton OF mineral material and have an
excess Of vegetable matter. The ten
dency to the disease is hereditary and
most likely to be seen in closely in
bred hogs or those of herds kept
under insanitary conditions and long
imperfectly nourished upon unbal-
anced rations. The excessive feeding
OF corn to generation after generation
doubtless induces a weakness OF con-
stitution conducive TO ricketts, and the
disease may appear as a result Of any
a~ggrayating circumstance productive
OF malnutrition.

Continued Pressure by Neutrals for
Mediation What Is Most Needed
at Present, is View Of Those
Opposed to MiIitarism.

Washington.-Van Ghell Geldemees-
ter, son of the religious adviser to
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, has by
brief visit to Washington, after con-
ferences in Berlin with high German
officials, set in motion much specula-
ton in official and diplomatic quar-
tiers here about possibility OF peace in
Europe.
Mr.. Geldemeester, it became known
Monday, saw DIR. Won Jagow, the Ger
man foreign secretary, and other mem
bers OF the imperial ministry shortly
after the Lusitania was sunk and re-
ceived certain impressions concerning
the German attitude toward the war
and the ultimate making of peace.
With the knowledge, though not
with the authority of the German of
ficials, he started for Washington in
the hope that informally he could por,
tray German feeling in official quar-
ters. On his arrival here last week
he visited Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador. The latter, learn
ing that Mr.. Geldemeester had been
in Berlin and had been at the German
foreign office, gave his visitor letter
of introduction setting these facts
forth.
While in Washington the visitor
from The Netherlands gave the i'm
preston to those with whom he talked
that there was a peace party of some
Importance in Great Britain, as wei
as in Germany, and that what was
most needed at present was a contin
ued pressure by the neutrals for me

friends that he feared his own coun
y-Holland-might even be draw

mediate, If begun now, would be sue

which Mr. Geldemeester brought from
