TREATMENT OF TREE WOUNDS
Use of White Lead, Zinc, Yellow Ochre
and Other Materials Said to
Be Detrimental.

Recent experiments conducted by the
New York station tend to contradict
the generally accepted opinion of fruit
growers regarding the ACCESSIBILITY of
treating wounds caused by the removal
OF branches from trees.
From the results of this work 1t Is
concluded that the use of white lead,
white zinc, yellow ochre coal tar, and
shellac for wounds under five inches
in diameter is not only useless but u.s.
ually detrimental to the tree. This is
particularly true of peaches and per-
maps of other stone fruits.
The substances mentioned retarded
the healing of the wounds; white lead
proved the best, but it is not thought
worth while to use even white lead
on wounds two or three inches or less
in diameter, though it may be advis-
able to use it on wounds where very
large branches have been removed.
On the larger wounds, where much
surface is exposed, the white lead
helps to keep out moisture and organ.
lsms which cause decay. The smaller
wounds heal so quickly that the evil
effects of covering may more than off
set the benefits derived from its use

Pink Biouses Rule,

The pale pink blouse seems to main
tain its hold upon a woman's fancy,
and in spite Of the scores of new mod
els in bisque, cream and pale blue,
three pink blouses are sold to every

thing peculiarly feminine and appeal
ing about a delicate pink blouse and
we'll does woman realize its becoming
ness. The only trouble about these
dainty blouses is their proclivity to
wash out" not good wearable white.
but a dirty yellowish white that is by
no means bisque or cream. The handy
woman knows what to do about this;
she keeps on hand a supply of ordi-
nary rose-colored repe paper, tears
off a few scraps and ''pinks" the rims
ing water for her blouse. The deli
cate tint will wash out again, to be
sure but 1t is simply a matter to
pink" the rinsing water each time the
blouse is Numbered. This may offer
a hint to the woman who fancies
pale pink tint, also in crepe de chine
undergarments or who has a pair Of
white silk stockings that she would
like to turn pale pink for use with

Heavy as were the British losses
in September they were lighter than

No one need concern herself to look
about for novel ways of making up the
useful coat of tafreta. Styles were es-
tablished In this class of garments
early, and have persisted throughout
the season. These coats are ample,
loose-hanging and finished with ruch-
ings, usually to the exclusion of any
other ornamentation.
For the slight outlay required moth
ing proves more convenient in the
summer wardrobe than these envelop-
ing coats of silk. Nearly always a
plain or a changeable taffeta Is the
choice of the wearer for making them,
but certain stripes and plaids are
available that are used for special de-
signs. One of these Is of hag-blue taft
fetaa striped with bars of black and
white. 1t is cut straight, but drawn
in at the waist line across the back
under a belt of the material. 1t has
plain, full sleeves, finished with ample
cuffs of black velvet. The rather low
neck supports wide frill which forms
a cape. There is a standing ruff of
ders, ending In long sash end at the
front. They cross on the bust and
fasten at each side on the ends of the
belt.

So much more vivacity characterizeS
women's clothes today than in other
days, that no one is surprised at new
developments. Manufacturers of shoes
and hose have kept up with the pace
set by those who make the modes in
all other apparel and, above all else,
women demand style in their foot
wear. Whatever eccentric fancy of
the designer works out in slightly
shoes or hose is sure of a welcome.
But the conservative taste is not
forgotten entirely and whether shoes
are sedate, or snappy, they are made
on the cleverest lines and with the
most exquisite perfection Of finish.
They are marvels of graceful contour,
be they of the sturdy varieties for
sports or walking or of the dainty
kinds for dress or dancing. Three
models are shown in the picture above.
One of them, at the left of the pic
ture, is made with cloth top and pat
ent leather vamp and is shown In
several colors. Light kid uppers make
another variety In the same kind of
shoe and it has been a favorite in
brown with the leather in bronze.
The low pump has made itself ia
miliar to everyone in kid, in several
light colors and in black and bronze.
Beginning with white it runs through
three tints of gray-light, pearl and
dark gray, and it has been most popu-
lar in champagne and in white. Ma

grafton and moderately high French
heels finish off this masterpiece of
good style.

SYMPTOMS OF KIDNEY WORM
Look Out When Hog Apparently Suf-
fers Paralysis of Hind Parts and
Inability to Rise.

Symptoms of kidney worms in hogs
are the imperfect use of the hind legs,
inclination to lie down, a seeming par
alysis of the hind parts and inability
to rise on the hind feet. According
to some authorities the kidney worm
is not common among hogs though oc-
casionally one or two hogs in herd
may suffer from its presence. 1t is not
found in the substance of the kidney
but in the hollow portion, in which
the secretion of urine takes place.
What is said TO be certain cure is 10

longer treatment Is necessary. Corn

CHlNCH BUG MAY BE TRAPPED
II Insect Goes Frem Wheat to Corn,
II May Be Captured In Ditches-
Alse Use Oil Barrier.

The chinch bug sucks the juices of
corn, wheat, sorghums and other plants
of the grass family. They may be
trapped in dusty bitches If they go
from wheat to corn, or in rainy
weather an oil or tar barrier may be
necessary. If they get to the corn,
spray it with soapsuGs, emulsion, or
tobacco solutions. The clump-forming
grasses by roadsides and in waste
lands may be burned in late fall and
early winter to kill chinch bugs which
collect there for the winter.
