A VERY distinctive and elegant

the home dressmaker to follow, is
shown in the dress pictured here. 1t
is a style especially we'll adapted to
plump figures. This dress of velvet,
trimmed with embroidered bands, is
innocent of a waist line, and because
of this and its other peculiarities it is
altogether out of the ordinary.
Imagine the effectiveness of a
strong, rich shade of blue, a little
darker than sapphire, in an excellent
quality of velvet, when contrasted
with bands Of trimming closely GOV.

prove quite as handsome.
There is a straight underskirt of

The simply cut upper garment hangs
over this in lines of uncompromising
plainness.
The belt and round neck are defined

inches deep in the bottom of the.

The finer, or side roots, are spread
out around the little mound. more Of
the top soil is thrown in and packed
tightly around the roots, filling up all
air spaces and holding them in proper
place.

HINTS ON SHIPPING
EGGS FOR MATCHING
Neat, Attractive Package will
Please Customers-Basket
Is Recommended.

Time now to prepare for the ship
ping season and it is folly to wait until
orders come in before having every
thing ready.
The most important thing is to sat
tsfy your customers by giving them
exactly what you advertise to sell, or
even doing little better.
If eggs are broken in transit do not
hesitate to replace them the day you
receive the complaint from your Gus
toner.
Give everybody square deal, and
remember that satisfied customer is
always a customer.
A neat, attractive package may cost
a trif1e more than a slovenly one, but
1t will please your customers and ad-
vertise your egg business, because
customers very often Judge a mans
business by first impressions of pack
age and contents when they are re-
| ceived.
The best package for shipping eggs
is a basket, although many breeders
do not use them.
The basket should hold one or two
settings, and these can be got for two
cents from any manufacturer A thick
layer of excelsior should cover the
bottom and all eggs should be
wrapper in soft paper and so packed
with fine excelsior that they will not
touch one another.
When the eggs are packed, put an
other layer Of excelsior over the top
and cover with thin board.
Next to the basket, is the egg box,
made for holding 13 or Is eggs. This
is arranged with cardboard compart-
ments, with room for excelsior or other
packing at top or bottom.
This box is provided with a wire
handle. and the cover slides into
grooves which may then be screened
pr tackled down with small nails.
| Never ship a package that is not
screwed or nailed down, because this
will save eggs from being filched by
curious persons who can open the
package in transit.
Never ship soiled egg. Nothing SO
disgusts q customer as to receive q
setting Of eggs which are dirty and
OF poor shape.
Eggs should be selected so that each
setting will be uniform in size. shane
and color when possible.
When the package is ready to ship,
place on it a label containing your ad.
dress and the address of the customer.
plainly written. Never fail to put your
name on anything that will help to ad.
vertise your business.

is good Illustration of the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up, for it is unusual and
impressive. But the l,odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development in an entirely
different material is equally effective.
This ID demonstrated in a gown made
of twine-colored net, the overgarment
showing the net laid in side plaits a
half inch deep. But in this gown silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which it encircles at the belt, falling
below it at the front and fastening in
a knot at one side like a Greek girdle.
The underskirt is of plain net over a
foundation of satin in the same color.
Although there is no flare in the
skirt or upper garment, they are both
roomy. 1t is the lack Of definition Of
the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout figure. But in the dress
made of net the plating of the ma
terial and the addition of the girdle
produce a gown which is ideal for a
slender figure.

WlNTERING BEES
IN THE OPEN AIR
Construction Of Summer and
Winter Chaff Hives Over
comes Objections.
(By +, q. HERMANN

(By r. u. HERMANN
II the beekeeper tries to winter bees
on the summer stands, in any form of
a hive other than chat or double
walled hive, it is my opinion that he
will lose more in the value of bees
than the extra expense he would be at
in making chaff hives of some kind.
I think that some sort of hive that
could be used for summer advantage
should be used. This thing of having
outside winter cases to set over the
hives is decidedly a disadvantage in
many ways.
When winter is over they cannot be
used about the apiary during the sum-
mer to any advantage whatever, but
the beekeeper must have a house or
some other place provided for them to
keep them from the weather or they
will be warped and weather-beaten
and will last but few years. Hence,
the construction Of a summer and win
ter chaff hive certainly overcomes
many of these objections.
After years Of experience with chatf
hives used in connection with saw.
dust cushions over the top of the
broodchamber, have become con.
WINGED that there Is nothing better
along the line Of hives for wintering
bees on the summer stands than this.
I winter my bees on the summer
stands with very little loss. They have
plenty Of good store-plenty of young
bees and properly packed believe
in late brood rearing, SO that the hives
will be full of young bees at the be-
ginning of the winter-at least, this is
my plan, and my bees winter nicely.
With too small an entrance in a
damp climate you will be sure to have
moldy combs and more than the proper
amount of dead bees. The trouble be.
comes aggravated in the course Of the
winter by the clogging of the entrance
with dead bees.
During heavy storms in winter It
frequently happens that hives are en-
tirely buried in snow. While the snow
is light and porous. air will penetrate
it and reach the entrances Of the hives.
but should the snow become crusty or
ice form at the entrance the bees
would be in danger Of suffocation.
It is we'll to have all hives facing
southwark, 20 the sun can shine on
the entrance Of the hives and keep
them free from ice.
After q heavy fall Of snow we al.
ways sweep in front of the hives, leav.
ing the snow banked around the other
three sides. as It will do no harm
there, but viii help keep of prevailing
winds.

THE fad of the hour is the straight

the lower edge and just as full as it
well can be made. 1t is of dotted or
figured net and usually it is in black,
although warm gray or mode or
dark fawn color is liked immense

with lace pattern about the lower

with their being bound.
The usual binding is narrow fold

the black veil with binding of white

quent change of feed. It is not neces.
sary that several different rations be
compounded and fed alternately, but
rather the feeding of a variety each
day. Any program of rotation is un.
necessary, but vary the bill of fare.
II clover hay is given in the morning,
feed oat straw at noon and corn stover
at night. This may be reversed from
time to time and other things substi-
tuted. Do not feed an abundance Of
any one thing, even though it is rel
ished and greedily consumed by the
flock.
1t Is not SO important that the grain
ration be varied, but the wider the
range of grains that go to make it up
the better. Especially is this true when
pregnant ewes are being fed. Grain
rations that are highly nutritious
should be fed with caution, for after
sheep have reached maturity they take
on flesh very easily, and it is not ad-
visable that they carry large amount
OF surplus fat.

PLANTING TREES FOR SHADE
BY J. w. GRIFFIN.

In selecting a list of trees to plant
for shade on your lawn or along the
avenue, make note of the character
of the soil and plant accordingly.
II you are contemplating a home
in the lowlands, where it is damp
and where fogs hang on the better
part OF the morning, "cut it out" sell
out, get out, do anything to get out,
and go up higher if possible.
Leave the swampy lands to the fogs
and mosquitoes and the fevers.
Make note of the trees that grow
on the hillsides and those that grow
on the hilltops. Pick out those that
hold their foliage longest, also those
whose foliage is healthiest and most
dense.
Some advocate spring and some fall
planting Of fruit and forest trees. I
have It that the following gives good
results:
Where the trees to be set out are
larger than two or three-year-old
trees, dig hole four feet wide each
way and two feet deep some time dur
ing the late fall or early winter.
The top soil is thrown on one side,
the subsoil on the other.
The combined actions of the rain,
freezing and thawing, produce a good
effect on the soil thrown out, and up.
on the sides of the hole.
The trees to be set out are procured
during the fall and are heeled in a
protected place and are ready at any
time they are wanted. A few days
Of sunshine and windy weather in
early spring, put the mounds of earth,
beside the holes, in fine shape to put
in around the trees.
The trees may be set out two or

cause they are too busy during the
spring months to do required work.
When evergreens are planted late,
they should be thoroughly watered and
. dust mulch maintained around the.
roots until winter sets in.
It Is difficult to tell by the looks Of
the trees whether they survive during
the late summer months or not. as
very often they retain their verdure
some time after they are dead. .

greens. Is. in our opinion, in the
spring; and we see no reason why fall
planting should be resorted to unless

PLANT EvEReREENs EARLY

The best time to plant evergreens
is early in the spring just when the
new seasons growth is starting. It ia
q mistake to plant too early; but If
the planting ia delayed until June, the
trees are not apt to do well unless
frequently watered and mulched dur.
ing the summer months.

but we do not believe an inexperi.
enced person can make his trees grow
when planted SO late.

Former Garrett COuntians

P. L. Livengood in the Republican,
Myersdale, Pa, has most interesting
letter, Sizing up things down in Dixie, "
being an account of a trip through
Virginia. He has this to say about
some former Garrett county people:
In the city of Roanoke, Va, which is
one of the most progressive in the South
we found John H. Yost and family,
Norman A. Maust, Stephen Broadwater
and Homer Ycst, all valued friends of
mine who are known to many of the
Republicans readers. All formerly
lived in Garrett county, Nd, except the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Yost,
who were born in Roanoke, where their
dad cast his lot in the year 1890 and
grew up with that city. Although yet
a young man he has amassed fortune
of goodlv proportions and is known
there in business circles as one of that
enterprising city's most energetic and
progressive businessman. His good
wife is daughter of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Broadwater, who were
we'll and favorably known in Garrett
county, where they lived for many
years.
Norman A. Maust and Stephen Broad
water formerly lived in Salisbury, also.
the former married a sister of Mrs.
Yost, and the latter is her brother.
Homer, the other Mr.. Yost mentioned,
is a son of School Commissioner Peter
H. Yost, of Garrett county, and to-
gether with Messrs. Maust, Broad
water and many other workmen is en-
ployed by the Virginia Lumber Manu-
featuring Company, which concern is
managed by j. H. Yost and does a
large planingmill and contracting bust
ness in Roanoke.
Our entire party was shown many
courtesies by Mr.. Yost while in Roam
oke, and both his automobile and his
Ford were at our disposal. Cousin
John is truly one of natures noblemen.
and he certainly knew when peaches
were ripe when he came up into Gar
rett county, and married the estimable
grill who is now his wife and the mother
of his four bright children, two sons
and two daughters The other kins-
men mentioned are also men of the
same admirable stamp. and like cousin
John, they are prospecting. More sue
cess to them all.
