Fowls Relish eeets and Turnips az
Substitutes for Green Food
Better to Feed Raw.

Turnips and beets are good green
food substitutes, and fowls relish
them. They can be FED by cutting in
half and allowing the fowls to pick
them to pieces, or they can be ground
fine in a bone cutter and fed in
troughs. 1t is better to feed them
raw than cooked.
Turnips contain 90.6 per cent water.
0.8 per cent ash, 1.3 per cent protein.
IL per cent fiber, So per cent nitro
gen.
Sugar beets contain 26.7 per cent
water, 9.2 per cen: ash, is per cent
fiber. 80 per cent nitrogen free ex-
tract, and Oh per cent fat.
Turnip seed may be sown either
very early in spring and an early sum-
mer crop secured, or later in July and
August for winter storing. For early
use plant in rows one to one and one
half inches deep and twelve to eigh-
teen inches apart in the row.
In field culture the rows are often
thirty inches apart to facilitate horse
cultivation. The seed Is sometimes
sown broadcast from July 20 to Au-
gust 1, when q crop is grown for
stock. Two to three pounds Of seed
are required for an acre.
Beets are usually sown the latter
part of April or first part Of May.
About the same treatment in planting
is given the beet as is given the
turnip.

NEW DESIGN FOR THE CORSET
the Figure and Pinch the
Waist.

The cut of the coat of the period de-
cides the shape Of the corset. This
is a rule which has held for a very
long time and is just now proving
itself anew. The coats of the late year
began to have a pronounced back line.
There was a definite shoulder, an ac-
centuated waist line and positive hip
extension. BY the middle of January
the first OF the new corsets was on
sale and it differed essentially from
the old straight-front model. which.
with slight modification. has obtained
these last five years.
The new model differs most radical
ly under the arms. The line there Is
curved, following exactly the lines
of the figure and allowance is made
for a pull-in of at least two inches at
the waist line.
The front, too, is no longer straight,
but is allowed to curve out slightly
above the waist. and the hips are not
only left normal, but in many in
stances allowance is made for slight
padding. The bust is high.
AS to length, there is good deal Of
allowance made for individual taste.
That the very long-skirted corsets are
no more the mode is obvious. for It il
no longer necessary to have. the
smoothly defined hip line. but, on the
other hand, the very short girdle stay
will not come again, at least for the
present, because women have found
that where lacing is required. health
and comfort require long. steady
pull, rather than a short, violent one.

rule the difficulties which later arise

There are instances in which 1t would
be unwise to lose years growth of
the trees in order to put the land
chosen for the orchard in an ideal con-
dition. In the majority of instances
the planting of q commercial orchard
is not decided upon so suddenly that
preparation previous to planting is not
possible.
The surface soil should be consid-
cred from two standpoints-the char
acter of the filth, and the presence of
organic material. While the former

planting orchards. Many fruit grow.
ers have worked out their own sys-
TENS. Those mostly used are the
rectangular, quincunx, alternate and
hexagonal, or modification of them.
The rectangular or square system is
most used. In this plan the trees are
set at the corners II . rectangular
area Most often the rectangle is a
square, but not infrequently the sides
are unequal. This is the simplest
system to lay out. Its chief disad-
vantage is that 1t does not make
economical use of the land, there be-
ing an area in the center of each rec
tangle little used by the trees. The
quincunx system was devised to Offset
the difficulty Just mentioned.
The alternate system is designed to
correct the difficulties arising from
the former. It differs from it essen
TALLY in widening the distance between
rows, maintaining the same distances
between the trees in the row, and is
therefore better adapted to paintings
under 40 feet. In the alternate plan
with 80 feet apart in the row the rows
can be placed much closer together
without reducing the space between
the trees in adjoining rows 10 much
as to interfere with orchard opera
lions. By this method, the number of
trees per acre may be increased, the
land better distributed among them,
and Inconvenience in orchard opera
tions avoided. 1t will be seen that
this method approaches the hexagonal
system. for when the diagonal dis
lance between the trees of adjoining
rows equals that between the trees in
the same row, then we have the hexa-
gonal system.

where more suitable soils are avail
able. 1t is not to be understood that
light or sandy soils are preferred for
apple growing.
The depth of soil best suited for ap-
pie culture depends very largely upon
the character OF the subsoil. With a
suitable subsoil very little surface soil
is necessary for success. Good results
are being obtained where there is but
two or three feet Of surface soil un-
derlaid by q suitable subsoil.
Pervious limestone subsoil permits
the roots to work deeply into it, CIV
II { trees with extensive root systems.
The limestone also aids in the pro-
duction of high color, which is so es-
sential in a good market fruit. 1t is at
least partially due to this fact that
the apples produced in some sections
are 30 highly colored. A gravelly sub
soil would be second choice in select
ing an orchard site.
Impervious subsoils are to be avoid
ed. especially II they come close to the
surface. Such a subsoil binders deep
roofing and not infrequently brings
the water table SO close to the surface
that the root system is confined to q
shallow layer just under the surface.
Have the orchard site elevated
above the surrounding country. This
does not mean that It must be the
highest piece Of land in the vicinity,
but that it should have lower levels
In proximity to it. Elevation is an
important factor in fruit growing. A
rolling site which provides good air
drainage and which Is somewhat ele-
waited is most likely to escape injury
from frosts.
Exposure is the direction Of slope of
the site. BY q northern exposure is
meant o site in which the general
slope of the land is towards the north.
On rolling sites, 1t is impossible to
have all the land slope in the same
direction. but in such cases 1t IL the
general slope which is considered. No
one exposure is best under all condi-
lions. As q rule, Q northern or north
eastern exposure IL preferable. The
trees ere slower in coming into bios
som in the spring than when the Or
chard has . southerly exposure, and
therefore there is less danger from
late spring frosts. Near large bodies
Of water best results are secured by
having the exposure toward the water.
In regions Of high winds, much dam
age often results from fruit being
blown OF and from rapid evaporation
Of moisture. These injuries are re-
duced by choosing q site which has
an exposure away from prevailing
winds.
One Of the first considerations in
planting the orchard IL the prepare
