TREE ROOTS NEED ATTENTION
One of Best Methods Is to Dip Bundle
in Pool CT Water Upon Arrival
From Nursery.

When planting, all possible pains
ehould be taken to prevent the roots OF
apple trees from being exposed to the
air for even a few minutes. One OF
the best methods is to dip the bundle
in a tank or pool Of water as soon az
it arrives, open in shady, sheltered
place and heel in the roots in good,
moist soil while the holes are being
dug and the planting begun. The
holes, which should be large enough to
accommodate the roots without bend.
ing or bruising, we prefer to dig as
the trees are set, so that the soil will
not lose it's moisture by being exposed
to the sun and wind. In planting, place
the tree in the hole little deeper than
it stood in the nursery. A very CON.
venient way Of preventing exposure
Of the roots while carrying them from
the place where they are heeled in, is to
prepare pail or small box Of mud and
place it in a wheelbarrow, using 1t to
convey a portion Of the trees with
their roots immersed in the mud to
the planting ground, where they may
be taken out one at a time as they
are needed without any exposure what
ever.

MANAGEMENT OF HERD BOAR
Best to Get Good Animal and Keep
Him for Years-Feed Sparingly
of Fatteninp Foods.

1t is not best to let the boar rula
with tho rest of the herd. 1t is too
common q practice to sell the boar
when the season is over. This is
largely the cause Of SO many small
Filters and weak-boned pigs 1t is best
to get a good boar, and keep him for
a. few years, and as he natures his
pigs will be stronger and litters
larger.
Have a small yard Of grass if pos
sible, hog tight and away from the
sows, so he will not be worried. A
quarter Of an acre will afford plenty of
exercise in the open air. When grass
is not available, give him cut clover
or any other good green feed that he
will eat.
Feed sparingly Of fattening feeds
but give him feed that will keep him
growing if he is not fully developed.
Mill stuff, skim milk, clover, alfalfa or
anything that furnishes protein is ad-
visable. At all times keep supply OF
ashes, suit and charcoal where he can
obtain it at will. 1t will do much to-
ward keeping him in good health.

REARING CHICKS WITH HENS
Fowls Should Be Confined to Slightly
Darkered Nests at Matching Time
and Not Disturbed.

Sitting hens do best when confined
to slightly darkened nests. at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. In the latter case the chick
ems may be removed as soon as dry, in
a basket lined with flannel or some
other worm material, and kept near Al
fire until all the eggs are Matched. In
place Of this the eggs may be removed
and placed under quieter hen whose
eggs are Matching at the same time.
An incubator may also be used to
keep the earliest hatctad chickens
warm, in case they are removed from
the nest.
If the eggs hatch uneveniy, those
which are slow in Matching may be
placed under other hens, as hens often
get restless after part Of the chick
ems are out, allowing the remaining
eggs to become cooled at the very
time when steady heat is necessary.
1t is necessary to remove the egg
shells and any eggs which have not
Matched as soon as the Matching is
over. Hens are fed as soon as pos
sible after the eggs are Matched, as
feeding tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise hens will leave the nest.

That Cheesel

A certain dealer had a lot of cheese
which was anything but good, and,
tired OF seeing it about, told the as
sistant when he closed the shop to
leave t.le condemned cheeses at the
door fos someone to walk off with.
Thomas occasionally crept to a win
dow to see operations, and at length
went to his master, grinning all over
his face, saying the cheese was gone.
Leave another out tomorrow night"
was the masters order, which was
obeyed by the shopman, who, after a
few peeps next evening, walked to his
master in the contingencies, scratch,
ing his head, and looking as though
some great disappointment had befal
len him.

One more example Of the success
full management of lines and adjust
ment by means of new departures in
the garment-cutters' art may be stud
led in the coat pictured above. In the
new spring models cutters appear to
have thrown tradition to the winds,
but the coats justify them in this in
dependence.
It appears that the designers are
striving to achieve the required full
ness without making coats cumber-
some, and to give to the figure the cor
rect silhouette. In the model shown
here the back of the coat and top of
the sleeves appear to be cut in one
piece. The introduction of Pc
culiarly shaped underarm piece leads
one to think that this eccentricity of
cut is often made with an eye to it's
decorative value as well as to tho
hang" of the garment. The fronts
are extended toward the back in a
curved line over the hips, and contrib
ute their share of the fullness about
the bottom of the coat. It hangs

20 nonsense, Belle! I don't believe
in that rubbish, and I wouldn't encour-
age superstition" said Lady Wheelock.
Belle Garrett turned reluctantly
away from the Arab with the crystal.
Seeing his hopes of a customer dis
appearing, the fellow set up wailing
chant that followed the ladies all
along the bazaar.
What is he saying?" Belle Garrett
asked the dragoman.
HE wants you to look in his crys-
tai, lady," answered tho Egyptian.
He says that you will see something
very important"
Again Belle Garrett hesitated, but
her companion was departing, and at
length she hurried after her, hearing
the Arabs cries still in her ears.
Did you ever look into one of those
crystals?" she asked her friend.
"Never!" snapped Lady Wheelock.
Its all pack Of superstition and
humburg,"
The dragoman smiled, and Belle
caught the look on his face. When
they were alone she asked him:
did you ever hear of anything
true being seen in a cystal?
"Yes, lady," he answered. Some

distant desert was sweeping down.
The scrub thorns rocked, the camels
shifted uneasily upon the lines. And
suddenly she saw soldiers running to-
gether, their rifles in their hands.
Her husband sprang from the tent
and took his place at their side. She
saw two guns being drawn up. And
then, with exultant yells that rang
in her ears, she saw the savage army
burst through the scrub, spears in
their hands, and rush the lines.
Instantly was inextricable confusion.
The savage forces, the grim defenders
disappeared in cloud Of dust. Now
and then there would emerge from it
a stabbing blade, or the muzzle of a
reeking gun. Belle held her breath.
She wanted to cry out, but she was
held, fascinated.
Suddenly she saw the major quite
close to her. Sword in hand, he was
hacking his way into the heart of
the wild throng about him. He was
isolated from his men. Bodies, cloven
by the blade, rolled this way and that
Spears flashed on every side of him.
Then, with a rush, a company of
fresh troops came up. The scene
grew clear. The Moslems, forced
back, suddenly broke and fled, the
guns pouring shell into their ranks.
But, as her husbands men came up to
him she saw an enormous tribesman
dash the sword from his hand and
poise his spear at the majors throat.
In another instant he would be dead
The dream vision was dissolved.
With wild cry Belle struck the saw
age with her fist between the eyes.
She saw him reel and she
looked up into the Arabs face.
The curtains had been drawn back,
the dragoman was waiting outside. 1t
had all been an abominable dream,
then!
What happened?" she cried to the
Arab. Il must see it again.
'There is no more" said the Arab.
81 must, tell you!"
The Arab placed the crystal in her
hands again. She sat down, she looked
only into the clear surface.
1T is never given twice." said the
Arab. Another day, perhaps. Ten
piastres, Madame"
She paid the money and went home
with a sinking heart. She had no
doubt that her husband was dead. And
for dreary days she waited, feeling
herself already a widow.
Twelve days later a letter came. It
was from him. The letter that he
had been writing in the tent. She
opened it helplessly and read:
II was interrupted in this by an
attack on the part of our tribal friends,
dearest, so I am beginning all over
again." Then followed some gossip.
"And now there is wonderful news.
The tribe has submitted, and already
we are on the way home. When we
meet shall have lots to tell you.
II had narrow squeak in yester-
days fight. One Of the rutfians got
me by the throat, and his spear was
within an, inch of my eyes when the
strangest thing happened. He let it
fall and toppled backward, just as if
he had received blow in the face.
We captured him, and an hour later
his eyes were all swollen and discol.
ored. I questioned him, and all we
could get out of him was that wom-
ans spirit had bowled him over with
stiff left-hander."

This is one Of many models IN
black and white checks, more or less
large usually more. Even in suits few
very small checks are shown. In them
and in coats the moderately large star
check seems to be best liked. The
wide pointed belt and oddly shaped
pockets give this design individuality.
The collar and cuffs are gracefully
shaped and finished with panels OF
black silk. In the collar one may see
how clearly the designer has taken
advantage of the small cape idea with
out copying it outright. In the buttons
used irregular white stripes appear
on a black background. They might
be effectively made of molds covered
with black silk with greater elegance,
but less durability. Speaking OF but

BEES AND CLOVER SEED
Cross Polarization Through
Agency of Insect Is Efficient.
Maintenance of Adequate Acreage o.

yer seed production. On the other
hand, the investigators found that the
bumblebee is an efficient cross-pollina-
tor, and that under certain conditions
the honeybee may also be most useful,
For some years there has been an
insufficient supply of homegrown red
clover seed. AS a result not only has
the price Of the seed been high, but
large quantities Of foreign seed, which
is frequently inferior to the domestic.
have had to be imported. In conse
quence, the maintenance of an ade
quate clover acreage has become q
rather serious problem. To remedy
the situation, attempts have been made
to ascertain the minimum quantities
Of seed per acre required to secure a
satisfactory stand and the conditions
necessary to maintain such a stand.
In addition, efforts have been made to
develop heavy seeding, hardy strain
Of clover, and finally various mechani.
cal forms Of pollination have been
experienced with.
A professional paper of the United
States department Of agriculture has
recently been published containing re-
suits Of experiments which show that
the yield of seed obtained on heads
which were not pollinated or which
were self-pollinated in different ways
was practically negligible. The actual
amount was less than one-half Of one
per cent, and this insignificant guam
tity, it is said, may be accounted fol
by accidental pollination from outside
sources. In contrast with these re
suits it was found that the humble
bee was able to pollinate from 80 to
IS flowers minute in dry weather
When few nectar-producing plants are
available it was found that the honey
bee also collects large quantities OF
pollen from red clover and in the pro
cess cross-pollinization of the flowers
takes place.

Now that the lenten season is upon
US there is time for putting into execu-
ton plans for spring outfits, so that
each member of the family may bios
som cut at Easter time in something
new. That something will be beautiful
if the styles designed for small girls,
by great authorities in the realm of
apparel, are faithfully copied. Spring
frocks for the little miss are enticingly
pretty and leave nothing to be wished
for.
Speaking generally of frocks for
"dress-up" wear, skirts are full and
short and much befrilled. In many
models there Is no waist line and
sleeves are merely puffs or ruft}es of
thin materials that cover part of the
top of the arms. In wash frocks, for
daily wear, the sleeves are elbow or
,hree-uuarter length. There are excep
tions, however, with sleeves reaching
to the wrist.
One of the simplest of little silk
dresses for girl of five, or more, years
is shown here. 1t is made of foulard
silk in a dark color with scattered
dots of white over its surface. The

HOW PIGEONS BEAR MESSAGE
Matter Is Not as Simple as Is Gener-
ally BeIieved-Attached to
Tail Feather.

The general notion that all that has
to be done in forwarding a dispatch
by pigeon is to catch the bird, tie a
letter to it's leg, and then liberate it,
is utterly fallacious, as the method of
attaching the message is of great i'm
portance. Besides, to be of much
service, the birds must have been
thoroughly trained; otherwise, if the
distance to be traversed be great, the
pigeon will in all probability lose it's
way, as it depends more upon observa-
ton than anything else for guidance
in it's flights.
Prior to the siege of Paris the
method of affixing the message to the
bird had not received that attention
which it demanded, and consequently
many dispatches were lost in transit.
At first the massage was merely
rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro-
tect it from the weather, and then at
But it was soon found that the Irvine

hot bod kin, so as not to split it, and
in the noles waxed silk threads were

was not in any way interfered with.
