READY FOR SPRING
SMART SPORTS SUITS ALREADY
BEING PREPARED.
Many Features and the Materials Of
Last Season Are Retained, Since
They Could Not Well Be
Improved On.

FOrerunners of spring are the smart
little sports suits now being prepared,
to be shown in the shops in a very few
weeks and featured for southern wear
during the winter. Silk jersey cloth
will probably be just as popular during
the coming season as it was during the
two or three seasons past. No new
material has been introduced that
could quite take its place. One of the
strong features of the coming season
will be the vivid color effects pro-
duced. High shades will be extremely
popular, and odd color combinations
Will undoubtedly be seen.
A modish little early spring sports
suit is shown in the sketch. 1t is
made Of cCrn-colofed jersey silk. with
trimming of purple taffeta. OF course
this color blending or combina ton may
be varied to suit the individual taste
and complexion, but purple and corn
color have been approved by Dame
Fashion, and at the southern resorts
certainly apparel that is striking in
design and colOring may be worn.
The suit illustrated is simple in de-
sign, the skirt being three yards wide,

PAY HIGH PRICES FOR FURS
Women Desiring Popular Garments
Find They Have to Open Their
Purses to Get Them.

Wholesale dealers in furs who sell
only at retail the manufactured prod
ucts say that the prices in the raw
goods have gone up to such an extent
that they can now sell pieces made up
earlier in the season for less than
they would charge for the skins alone
at the present time, says the New York
Times. Fox, although it has been pop
ular for the last four years, is the
reigning favorite in furs, the only thing
coming in all colors and appealing to
all classes of people-there being, how
ever, all classes of fox. Ermine, the
dress fur, is strong, usually made tail
less, or with a bunch of the tails as
an ornament. MuSkrat, or Hudson
seal, is strongest in coats and goes well
for general purposes. There is nc
prejudice against it as an imitation
these days. Real seal has comparative
ly little sale. 1t is expensive to hold
needing frequent repairs, and a gar
ment cannot be remade for less than

SITE FOR ORCHARD
Trees Should Be Planted With
Reference to Land Contour.
MINIMUM EROSION OF SOIL
Plan Rows i'm Such Way That TiIIaqe,
Spraying and Harvesting Opera

Greatest Ease

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Where the site selected for an or
chard consists of steep slopes, the
trees should be planted with reference
to the contour of the land. The rows
should be made in such a way that
erosion of the soil will be reduced to a
minimum, and that tillage, spraying,
and harvesting operations may be con-
Quoted with the greatest possible ease.
The distance for planting is gov
erned by the kinds of fruit to be grown,
the habit of growth of the variety, and
the fertility of the soil. Peaches may
be planted from Is to % feet apart
pears about "a feet apart, and apples
from 80 to 40 feet apart.
Mixed paintings, such as apples and
peaches, are sometimes profitable, but
the management problems are less
complicated when each fruit is planted
by itself. Each variety should be
planted in separate block to facilitate

PROPER TREATMENT OF HAIR
Thorough Cleansing After Exposure to
Dust Is of Prime Importance
Don't Wash 1t Too OFTEN.

To begin with, q thorough cleansing
of the 5hair is the first thing after a
railroad or motor trip. For this it is
well 70 begin the night before the
shampoo, if possible, and rub either
olive oil or petroleum derivative jelly
thoroughly into the scalp. This will
soften the scalp and any dust or dan
druff lodged on it. Any favorite soap
or shampoo preparation which does not
contain free allzali may be chosen for
The shampoo, but whatever is used
should be thoroughly rinSed out before
drying the hair If possible, the dry
ing process should be done in the sun.
rubbing the scalp gently upward with a
rotary motion, and brushing the hair
with a clean, rather stiff brush
If the hair is split at the ends, it will
be well to clip it or have it clipped.
For the next month it may be well to
keep at the rubbing of oil into the scalp
and shampooing each week, although
under ordinary circumstances it is not
wise to wash the hair oftener than
once in three or four weeks.

food in the soil. Preliminary to dig
ging the holes for the trees, many
growers pillow one or two burrows as
deep as practicable along the line
where the tree row is to go. This
blowing saves considerable digging
when planting the trees.
Setting the Trees.
Success in planting trees is made
possible by avoiding unnecessary ex-
posture of the roots and by thorough
firming of the soil about the trees.
Pudding the roots is a common prac-
tice where the roots are apt to be eX-
posed during planting operations.
In preparing the tree for planting,
all bruised Or broken roots should be
cut off, and all excessively long roots
should be pruned back to correspond
with the rest of the root system. The
holes for the trees should be large
enough to admit the roots without
bending and crowding, and deep
enough so that when filled the trees
will be two or three inches deeper than
they were in the nursery. The trees
should be set with a slant toward the
direction of the prevailing winds. After
the trees are set they should be pruned
back. One-year-old trees are usually
cut back to a single stem Is to 80
inches high, but if the trees are very
large three or four short stubs are
left at the top of the main stem sc as
to insure the growth of branches at
the point where it is desired to form
the head of the tree. Two-year-old
trees should have short stubs left
which are carefully selected to form
the scaffold limbs of the trees.

nests than its neighbor; no fox ever

LOOK OUT FOR Jumps
ON JAWS OF CATTLE
Disease May Be Successfully
Treated if Taken While in
Its Incipient Stage.

(By H S. EAKINS, Colorado AgricUl-
turaI College, Fort Collins.)
The loss occurring from the con-
demnation of the heads of beef ami
mails because of ':big jaw or what is
perhaps more commonly known as
'lumpy jaw" is surprisingly large.
Treatment of this disease is very sue
cessful if taken during the incipient
stages, and even when the disease is
well advanced it is controlled by vet
Urinary skill in many cases. There is
some question concerning the direct
transmission of this disease from one
animal to another but there is no ques-
tons about the folly Of taking chance
on any loathsome disease among ami
mails on the farm. Any nodule or alb
scess formation about the jaws or
necks of cattle should be looked upon
with suspicion and attended to at
once.

the medium-sized or large ones, they
may prove costly in the end, especially
Z they lack the vitality necessary to
make a good growth after being
planted.
Apple, plum, pear, and cherry trees
are commonly planted as two-year-
Odds; that is, after they have made
two seasons growth in the nursery,
though many growers prefer one-year-
old trees, especially apple and cherry.
Peaches are invariably planted as one
year-olds.
Nursery trees should always be
packed in such way that the roots
will not dry out, and upon delivery
at the place where they are to be
planted they should be unpacked i'm
mediately. Unless the trees can be
planted at once, they should be heeled
in. A place that is well drained, with
a deep mellow soil, should be selected
for heeling in the trees. A trench is
dug of sufficient width and depth to
receive the roots, and the trees are
carefully placed in this trench. Trees
that are tied in bundles should be sep
arated before heeling in, and the earth
should be worked around the roots of
each tree to prevent drying to any
serious extent.
Preparation for Planting.
Thorough preparation of the soil is
just as important for planting an Or
chard as for planting corn or wheat.
Deep blowing and thorough harrow
ing are very essential. 1t is a very
good plan to grow some cultivated
crop on the land the year preceding
the setting of the orchard. This crop
will not only put the land in better
mechanical condition, but if a Iegum-
nous crop, it will increase the plant

Slow in Getting Start.

According to DR.. Simon n. Patten,
leading economist at the University of
Pennsylvania, only % per cent of the
graduates in law at that institution
follow the practice of law after they
leave the university. The statistics
also show that 70 per cent of the law
students, after the long course and at
heavy expense, go into other lines of
work.
1T requires ten years for college
man to earn as much MS the unframed
man of business" Doctor Patten added.
while college men require ten years
to get on their feet, the high school
graduate usually steps at once into II
paying business. But it must not be
overlooked that the trained man far
overleaps his unframed competitor af-
ter ten years"

a greater number Of varieties may be
used than where the ripe fruit is de-
sired over a short period of time. The
number of varieties of one kind of
fruit is often Influenced by the quanti-
ty of other kinds of fruit which ripens

Kind of Trees to Plant.
Only trees that are thrifty and we'll
grown and which have good roots and
tops should be planted. Thrifty, we'll
grown trees need not be the largest
trees to be found in the nursery, but
often medium-sized trees will be as
desirable as the larger ones. The
smaller grades in many cases consist
