AVOID GREAT LOSS
OF SOIL FERTILITY
Big Saving Made by Feeding Corn
and Oats to Live Stock
While on the Farm.

With every bushel of corn sold at
the elevator IS cents worth of soil fer
tility is sold and with every bushel of
oats y cents worth of soil fertility
goes from the farm.
When these same grains are fed to
live stock and the live stock is sold.
only five cents worth of soil fertility
leaves the farm for each bushel Of
corn fed and four cents for. each
bushel of oats.
This difference in favor Of feeding
live stock is enough to make cattle
men, who know the value Of fertility,
stay in the live stock Bleeding bust
ness even in years when the markets
break badly.

EXCELLENT DESIGN FOR POPU-
LAR FOuR-GORED SKIRT.
Simple, but Distinctly Effective and
Even Striking in Appearance
May Be Worn Either With or
Without a Collar.

So simple that child could make
it, and yet in good style, is the design
for a dress with a four-gored skirt,
shown here. The waist is full and
loose and yet without the bagginess
over the belt that has distinguished
waists in the past. 1t buttons down
the front, and that makes 1t an ideal
frock for a college girl or busy wom-

can be donned quickly. The pattern
is adapted to any material that is suit
able for wearable frock that is not
intended for dress occasions.
The frock illustrated is built of
midnight blue serge and is trimmed
with a band of bright plaid around
the skirt, with the same plaid used in
the wide belt, collar and cuffs. If de-

Pruning Young Trees.-F'or the first
few years of its life the young tree re-
ceives very severe pruning at the
hands of the nurseryman. This treat
ment is essential for the foundation of
sturdy, fruitful tree, and it is after
wards left to the fruit grower TO con-
tinue the good work of the nursery
man. In the early stages the pruning
is done primarily with the object of
forming bush or tree of the desired
shape, the knife is used freely, many
branches being shortened to one-half
their length, otherwise struggling, I'M
shapely trees will result. Those
trees that were planted last autumn
require severer pruning than estab-
lished trees.
Apples and Pears.--It must be borne
in mind that both the apple and pear
in most cases bear their fruit on short
spurs or side growths of stunted ap-
pearance. One object in pruning is to
convert the ordinary side branches
into fruit spurs, and this is accom-
plished by cutting back the side
shoots to within two or three buds of
the main branch. This is well and
clearly seen in the case of Gordon
trees, which should be furnished
throughout their entire length with
fruiting spurs, and the object in prun-
ing bush, pyramid Or trained tree
is to make every branch resemble
Gordon. There is an axiom in fruit
growing which. runs "once a spur al
ways spur" and it is generally I'M
derstood that fruit spurs should never
be pruned. But it sometimes happens
moro especially with trained pear
trees-that even the fruit spurs are
overcrowded, and in such unusual in
stances they should, Of course, be
thinned.
Pruning Plums.--Unlike apples and
pears, plum trees resent severe prun-
ing, and they are often best left alone.
Except in very young trees, which re-
quire hard pruning, q simple thinning
of overcrowded wood is all that is
necessary; and there is wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether prun-
ing is best done in the summer or
winter. Where trees are subject to
the disease known as cumming, win
ter pruning should certainly be
avoided

Ribbons trimmed many of the
charming evening dresses in a recent
display of new French models. One
of the prettiest arrangements was a
succession of graduated widths of
white ribbon in a tulle dance frock.
The ribbons were not gathered, but
the skirt was. and each band of rib
bon was set an inch above the next,
the widest ribbon being at the bottom
and the narrowest at the top. Pen
dants falling from the waist line on
long ribbons were another interesting

superintendent of public works and
chairman of the public utilities commits
sion, addressed a gathering of Hilo citi

At the meeting were members of the

action, but vessels have lail alongside
