URGED CULTIVATION OF TREES
Henry Ward Beecher, Fifty Years Ago, Sought to Awaken New England
 to It's Possibilities.

Henry Ward Beecher in "Norwood," 50 years ago, said: "I have often mar veled that, in time of such taste and liberality, so little should be done with trees. New England might be magnificent park, with but slight ex- pense, if only one dedicated himself to doing good through the love of beauty. Every great road, every by-road, con- meeting towns and villages, or neigh borhoods, if concert was secured. might not only be judiciously plant ed. but, by little study and care in the selection, all the fine trees might in time be employed until every coun- ty would become an arboretum. Such is the spirit of emulation that if single town should perfect this work, other towns would catch the inspira- tion, and the work would go on with energy until all unclothed road would become reproaeh.'

 Lemon juice is well-known rem edy for seasickness and nausea ana as cooling and refreshing drink Tn levers it does more to diminish the craving of thirst than any other form of beverage.
 Lemons are most delightful as ha- vor for various dishes as appetizers. or as fruit desserts. An eighth or lemon with bit of fish is an accom- paniment altogether indispensable. The color is of value, appealing to the eye. thus adding to the value or the food thus garnished.
 Lemon Pie.-Make a rich crust and fill with the following together two tablespoonfuls of cornstareh one and a half cupfuls of sugar. pinch of salt, two cupfuls of water, the yolks of three eggs, the juice of two and rind of one lemon, and two table spoonfuls of butter: cook until smooth, fill the crust and cover with a meringue made of the three whites of eggs, using three tablespoonfuls of sugar Brown in a moderate oven

it's usefulness. Veils are worn for two reasons. to keep the hair neatly in place and because they are becom- ing. There are so many patterns to choose from that a selection is a mat ter of trying them on as i'll choosing hat or color for a gown. One may buy a mesh in almost any shape. as square. round, diamond shape or hex agonal. Borders vary also and there are several colors to choose from. Taupe, brown, gray and purple tones. with several shades of dark blue. make 1t worth while to experiment. as they are adapted to varied con- plexions. Black remains most popular. but is not always the happiest choice. The threads of which wells, and es. pecially black veils, of today are wov- en are incredibly fine, and the heavy veil has no following.

In Hot Weather Animals Should Have Opportunity of Drinking at Least
 Five Times Daily.

Three times day is not enough to water live stock. They should have, especially in hot weather, an oppor- tunity of drinking at least five times daily-before each meal, and at inter- vals of two and one-half to three hours apart between meals.
 The animal that works in hot weather on a five or six-hour stretch without water suffers intensely from thirst. Frequent watering prevents water collie and other i'll effects.
 Never allow the animal to drink when very hot Always force him un- der such conditions to drink little at time until atisfed.-Clemson Col lege Bulletin.

Roses for Oregon School Yards.

Many Oregon school yards that have been without flowers will blossom with roses in year or two, and others that have not been altogether stran- gers to roses will have more of them, if $500 hardy little bushes that are to be sent out from the university gar dens this spring manage to survive the trials of being transplanted. Each spring at pruning time thousands of rose slips cut from the bushes on the university campus are planted for dis tribution the following spring to high schools of the state, to public build ings, libraries, hospitals and other suitable institutions. From twelve to twenty bushes are sent in each pack age.

forage crops such as alfalfa. cane. sweet potatoes and ehufas, which might be used in conjunction with oth- CT crops. In pasturing hogs on legumi- nous pastures 1t will be unnecessary to supplement grain ration to large extent It would be desirable to feed finishing ration of corn for the last few weeks before marketing.
 Breeding Stock.
 Next in the importance to the pas ture and forage crops is the selection of breeding stock. First of all select regular breeding, prolific sows that will produce two large filters year. It is not practical for all to have regis tered sows but every farmer can se' lect good grade sowS at home and breed them to registered boars.-Clem- son Agricultural College.

PERCHES FOR THE PENTHOUSE
Capital Idea to Have Two Sets. Chang ing About Each Month-Sun-
 shine Kills All Vermin.

It Is we'll to have two sets of perches for the poultry house. Each month, when the houses are cleaned and the litter removed. the perches in the house may be removed, and the ones held in reserve placed in position.
 The perches not in use may be taken to an old field, some distance from the chicken house and placed in fence corner. After being subjected to sunshine, wind and rain for ,1 month, all trace of animal life on them has been destroyed.

Embroidery Hint.

It is interesting to copy the designs of good china in embroidery, whether in silk or wools, upon any suitable ground. One woman has just embroid- cred the familiar blue Copenhagen china design on white for a table cen terpiece to go with her own Delft china. The many colored little punches of flowers that are hand painted on Worcester and other old English chi mas are just as fascinating when you see them worked on quilts. cushions and the like.

LUCK" IN POULTRY BUSINESS
No Danger of Mishap or Failure If Chickens Are Kept Under Strict
 Sanitary Conditions.

There is no such word as Tuck" In the poultry business. All diseases, mishaps or failures are the direct re- suit of some neglect.
 When chickens are kept on a farm under strict sanitary conditions there is no danger but your neighbor will probably call 1t luck rather than sys- tematic attention.

A very pretty and summery dress of plain and dotted organdie achieves fine style by combining these familiar ma terials. Organdie in eottons, as taf- feta in silks, has proved peculiarly well adapted to the styles of today. The originality of the model lies in combin- ing the plain and dotted surfaces so that they play parts of equal impor- tanee, and it suggests the use of other goods in the same way.

Veilings and separate yeils are made in narrow widths with narrow borders. The border reaches to the chin so that the veil covers just the face. No ec- centric methods of draping have ap- peared so far in the seasons history, unless we class the harem veil which has been introduced fer the motor ist. under that head. Many of the new motor yeils are of very thin ehif- ion and some of them are circular, suspended from an elastic cord that holds them in place about the hat in the manner shown for the face veil pictured here.
