In many cases these suits made up
in two materials have a shallow blouse
or jumper of the skirt material that
can be used as a third piece, worn
over a guimpe of white net or chiffon
to vary the monotony of plain
tailored skirt and blouse. The sim
plest designs for these are often most
effective, such as the rather broad
suspender straps cut In one with a
deep girdle that hooks in place over
the guimpe, and the skirt serves as
a connecting link in the design.

TlLLAGE AND COVER
CROPS In ORCHARDS
Fruit Trees Are Often Injured by
Root Freezing During Cold
Months of Winter.

The effect of tillage and cover
crops on the orchard are similar in
some respects, but tillage adds moth
ing to the amount of plant food in the
soil, through it influences the fertil-
ity of the land so that more food is
made available for the growing trees.
A wellmanaged system of cover crops
will accomplish all that tillage can
and at the same time add to the store
of the plant food that will be avail
able for the trees.
Fruit trees are often injured by root
freezing during the winters. In the
northern attitudes this is one OF the
most important reasons for keeping
the soil covered in the winter. The
influence of a cover crop in protecting
the roots from frost is very important.
On soil that is rolling or on hill
sides it will be found almost impos-
sible to maintain any degree Of fer
tility in the orchard without the use
of cover crops. 1t will not only pre-
vent the soil from washing away but
will also hold the fertilizers from
washing and prevent the leaves from
blowing away.
The saving of plant food is also an
important function of a cover crop.
When the cold weather arrests the
growth of trees there is considerable
available plant food that may be vast
ed on account Of the trees not being
able to consume it at that time. This
may be saved by the cover crop and
held until such time as it is desired
to have it give it up or when the
cover crop decays in the following
spring.
The ideal system Of managing or
chard lands in the northern and mid
die states is perhaps most nearly ap-
preached when the soil is stirred in
the early spring, as early as prac-
ticable and as deep as it can be and
not injure the roots;- cultivate in this
manner until the trees are budded,
then seeded with a cover crop which
will grow until autumn and be turned
under the following spring, and the
same method practiced again.
In some sections of the apple coun-
try a cover crop is used the year that
the trees are due to produce large
crop, SO as to form bed for the ap-
pies to fall upon and keep them clean
and free from mud.
The next year, when the trees are
not expected to produce large crop,
the orchard is MANFRED or fortified
and kept clean and free from weeds
until fall, and rye sowed or cover
crop, and the the following spring it
is plowed aud reseeded to cover
crop that is left on the ground until
the next spring.
This plan has found many friends
among the large commercial orchard
lists and is one of the most sensible
that we are acquainted with.

PLANTING, PRUNING
AND CARE OF TREES
Cut Off All Dead Wood or Imper-
feet GroWth-Have Branches
Eight Inches Long.

Do not have the trees come until
you are ready to put them in the
ground. When they arrive, soak the
roots little while in cold water, then
examine carefully and cut off every
damaged root. All dead wood or i'm
perfect growth should be cut off just
before the first outbranching rootlet.
Cut from the under side in a slanting
direction, SO that the exposed surface
will come in contact with the ground.
In trimming the tree, do not leave
any branch more than eight inches
long. The practice Of cutting back to
within two or three feet, particularly
on very young trees, is growing and
usually gives satisfactory results.
In western Washington, where fruit
growing now has become a great in
dustry, yearling trees are planted more
than any other. They are cut down
to about one-third OF their growth and
are every year trimmed to grow low
spreading branches. Most of the ap-
pies in that country are picked by
men standing on the ground-ladders
seldom being necessary.
Professor Bailey says that vigorous
pruning does not injure the growth OF
the tree. OF course this does not mean
indiscriminating slashing Of roots or
top but pruning made with care and
good judgment. If the weak roots and
branches are cut off, more strength
goes to the sound ones, and better re-
suits are obtained.
Probably the best results come from
pruning the orchard rather vigorously
every two or three years, but If one is
not an expert at pruning and cannot
obtain the right sort of help, better let
the trees alone until they can be prop
erly pruned, even if this can be done
only once every three or four years.

THE BEAUTY OF VINES
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

When in doubt as to what to plant,
plant vines, is sound advice. Vines
beautify; they are useful; they are
easy to grow; they shade from the
hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious
features; they encourage the birds to
nest about the house, they are the
drapery nature throws over and about
with a lavish hand to soften and en-
beilish.
When preparing to plant vines be
sure to spade deeply, manure heavily,
and prepare the soil carefully. After
perennial or hardy vines are estab-
lished, it is difficult to cultivate them,
therefore, do all you can before plant
ing them. When they begin to spin
they must have supports, otherwise
they will be stunted in growth and
unsatisfactory
There are SO many beautiful vines
among ANIMALS, perennials and hardy
vines that 1t Is hard to decide, If the
choice is at all restricted. If you wish
TO blot out an old building, cover it
with vines. If you dislike the neces-
sary fence, turn it into a thing of
beauty by planting vines along it's
length.
A dead tree reneWs its youth IL
vines are allowed to clothe it's branches.
Let vines shade the porch and thus
make it cool and leafy retreat from
the summers sun. Curtain the shutter
less south window with vines and let
them grow about the home wherever
possible.
The grape is one of the most USE
full vines. 1t is hardy; early in spring
its leaves are ready to cast a shadow.
Its blossoms are delicately fragrant,
and its fruit is delicious Attention
must be given 1t in the way of fertil-
fty pruning and tying.
Among wild vines the trumpet vine,
tecoma radicans, wild clematis, (vir.
gins bower and bitter-sweet are pop

the woods, be sure you procure one
that is fertile, for some of them do
not bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is
another desirable wild vine, but it is
not as common as those mentioned
above.
The wild climbing rose has an ex-
auisite flower; and once started grows

The climbing roses are led by the
comparatively new rose, the rambler
and its hybrids. However, it's foliage
gets shabby and spoils it's beauty as
a porch plant. 1t makes a brave show
when blooming. The good old prairie
queen still continues to be the stand

Blue and White Footwear.

Black and white footwear has been
rather overdOne in the last few
months, although it is still worn by
very smart women. But blue and
white footwear is not only newer, but
less likely to be overdone than black
and white. There are some charming
blue pumps navy blue, of course)
touched with pipings and bands of
white kid, and these are worn with
navy blue silk stockings, showing
white clocking or narrow stripes Of
white. This blue footwear is, of
course, worn with navy blue frocks.

A truss consisting of an iron rod or
chain properly placed connecting the
opposing limbs and trunk or two diff
ferent limbs--as The case may be-
will save the tree. Use five-eighths-
inch rod Of proper length amply
threaded at each end for a nut. A
strip Of board tackled transversely on
the limbs in the location in which the
rod is to go will serve as a means Of
acquiring the proper length of rod and
the angle at which holes are to be
bored. Holes should be bored with a
three-quarter-inch auger or bit, the
size being larger than the rod will
facilitate the pushing through of the
rod. If the holes are counter-sunk
where nuts come by means of gouge
chisel, it will make a better finish be-
cause the growing cambium will grow
over nut and cover work smoothly.
In using a chain instead of rod
it is really the simpler methoG--a
screwhook, such as is used for a
horse hayfork, is turned into one limb
from side facing opposite limb. A
short rod amply threaded at one end
for nut with hook at other end is
inserted through drilled hole in op-
posite limb from near side and nut
screwed on rod from outside of that
limb. Then the chain, which is long
linked, is caught over these hooks
when screwing UP of nut gives de-
sired tension to chain.
Two dollars worth Of time and ma
terial should suffice to apply such a
truss and thus be the means of saw
ing tree worth from five to fifty dol
lars.
The metal may be painted with
bridge paint in order to preserve and
add to the appearance.
