GOOD FRUIT CROP PROMISED

Not only has the lowest tempera-

It has attained depth of three and

U-BOAT CAMPAIGN
AASLOSTITSST|NG
TONNAGE SUNK BY GERMAN
SUBMARINES SEEMS TO BE
DlMINI SHlNG.
FALLS SHORT OF WORK SET
Was Expected to Stop All Shipping
CGt Sea Traffic Is Moving
As Before.

New York-Predictions that Ger
many's ruthless U-boat campaign be-
gun February l will fail are predict
ed upon the performances reported.
The undertaking was eventually to
stop all sea traffic, enemy and neu-
trail, in the great new war zone, and
in the meantime to sink shipping at
the rate of 100000 tons a month, or
$4,000 a day.
The Germans have failed to APP
proach the mark they set Sea traffic
Is moving almost as before. But
what seems really significant is that
the toll of merchantmen, after having
risen rapidly from 10 vessels Of 1900
tons February ! to IA vessels of A.
457 tons February 6, has been stead
lily falling since.
In the first eight days of February
there We're sunk 6S ships, aggregating
$4,000 tons. In the next eight days
there were sunk AZ ships, aggregating
S7,450 tons.
The conclusion seems irresistible
that it has done its very worst. The
unknown factor in the case is the nor.
tally of U-boats. That is unreported.
We have only record of their deadli-
ness which appears to be diminishing.

ANYWAY, PAT GOT. THE BEER

CLOVER GROWTH IN ORCHARD
Ohio Experiment Station Favors APP
plication Of Acid Phosphate to
Produce Mulch.

That acid phosphate encourages the
growth of clover crops in orchards is
shown by results secured through sew
en- years by the horticultural depart
ment of the Ohio experiment station
working in southern Ohio. Where this
fertilizer was used alone or combined
with muriate of potash and applied at
the rate of $50 pounds per acre, the
mulch-in the orchards consisted of red
clover.
Where the same amount Of nitrate
of soda was used, the poverty grass
and weeds In the old aud neglected
orchards were replaced by timothy,
redtop and bluegrass. No seed was
sown in either case. From these tests
the experiment station advises or
chardlsts to apply acid phosphate
evenly over the ground to produce
mulch, and to use nitrate of soda only
when the trees lack viror and need
prompt fertilization.

Cows should be fed good wholesome

Mixers and attendants who come

Cows should not be fed at milking

Wipe the udder and side of COW

clean, dry hand.
Use small-topped milking pail. This
helps to keep foreign matter from the
milk.
Remove the milk Immediately after

To Make Pretty Bathrobe.

Very unusual and quite appropriate
is bathrobe seen in shop where
childrens clothing is sold. The robe is
of pink satin, heavily padded and neat
ly quilted. The unique feature of the
robe Is its decoration. All over it are
appliqued figures of Dutch boys and
girls, cut from brilliantly colored silks.
A similar robe could be made from less
expensive material. If robe is de-
sired for summer, 1t should be made
without the padding and the quilting.
There are various ways of applying the
little figures. They could easily be
pasted into position, but a more deco
rative method is to attach them with
blanket stitches, using wool or thread
of n contrasting color for the purpose.
French knots are also suitable for hold
ing down the figures.
On another robe animals of every de-
scription were used as decoration.
Scenes from Mother Goose rhymes or
any child's story book might be cut
out in colored material and used for
the purpose.

In case of the city being chosen

utilized to handle the 1000 to 1000

SET OUT STRAWBERRY PLANT
TranspIanting May Be Done Either in
Fall or Spring II Ground is in
Good Condition.

Strawberries may be successfully
tranSplanted either in the fall or
spring, providing the ground is in
good condition. Before planting the
ground should be plowed deeply and,
if not rich, coating of well-rotted
manure turned under. AS a general
rule the best plants are not obtained
from old beds, as the old plants have
exhausted their vitality in producing
fruit and the young plants are likely
to be weak. The best runners are OBJ
tanned from young, vigorous plants.
The young plants should be trans
planted as soon after digging as posi-
BILE. About one-third of the lower part
Of the roots should be clipped off and
all but one to three leaves removed.
These roots should be well spread out
aud the soil packed about them firm
ly. Set the plants so that the crown
is just about flush with the top of the
soil. If planted Shallower than this
the plant is likely to dry out and die,
and If the crown is covered with soil
there is danger of smothering it.

GRAPES ADAPTED TO GARDEN
Grow Almost Anywhere and Are Sure
Bearers-Spring Planting Is to
Be Preferred.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere,
and are sure bearers. They are par
ticularly adapted to the farm gardens,
or even have place in the yard along
the fence, or trained over trells.
They may be planted either in the fall
or in the spring, but spring planting
Is to be preferred. Vines one or two
years old may be used, and the soil
tirmed about the roots. Cultivate fire.
quently during the summer.
Wood ashes supply the best ferti-
liZer for grapes, and as much as half
bushel can be used for each vine.
Keep the vines growing nicely and for
the first season do no pruning. Early
the second spring cut back the strong
est canes to three or four buds, and re-
move all the others. In the spring,
after the buds have started, rub off all
but two Of the strongest and train
these as desired. After the second
year, thin out all superfluous wood,
leaving enough to bear so or 40 clus-
ters on each vine.
There are Il great many systems Of
pruning, but the simplest is the one
to be adopted for the farm garden.
A frame trelliS, or wire strung on
properly braced posts, answers the
purpose very nicely. There are great
number of varieties, but some of the
old standbyS are the safest.

Toque of Beige "Melusine" With
Motif of Dull Silver Braid.

most to the point of exaggeration, but
the general effect was delightful.
Pure white hare, IN really good
qualify, is a favorite fur with our best
dressmakcrs. The too-popular rabbit
has been done to death. We are get
ting rather tired of it, though it must
be admitted that in "chincEilla" guise
it is very decorative. On the other
hand, white hare is eminently becom-
ing. In the best quality it is difficult to
distinguish it from white fox.
The millinery models represent
everything that is new in the Partisan
world. We are nothing If not mill
tary" nowadays. But we have grown
tired of forage caps and even Of
Scotch "bonnets." The smart 1872
grenadier hat is O new model and 1t
is one which has been specially Gre
ated for the Monte Carlo season.
The crown of this hat is very high
and straight, and in front there is
an immense brush mount made of red
clipped feathers. This is hat which
adds high to figure. 1t looks its
best when worn in conjunction with
long straight wrap coat which
reaches the ankles. The model illus
trated-a earlier creation-was made
of black hatter's plush, but the same
hat might be made of velvet in any
dark color; or in supple felt.
The head sketched shows dainty
hussar toque made of beige "melu-
sine" with q conventional butterfly
ornament made of dull silver braid di-
rectly in front. / have seen similar
model made Of white "melusine," with
red and silver ornament, and yet
another in black hatter's plush.
These all-round toque shapes are
very fashionable at present and they
are almost universally becoming. The
correct way to wear them is pressed
well down on the hair and as straight
as possible on the head. A hussar
toque tilted on one side gives an I'M
pleasantly rakish impression.
At the present moment one of the
most popular toques in the millinery
showrooms of Paris is the tricorne,
made of very dark crimson velvet and
trimmed with little aviation" badge
made of gold or silver braid. The
tricorne remains first favorite with
the exclusive Parisiennes and 1t is con-
sidered specially chic to have these
hats made with exaggeratedly long
points and practically untrimmed.
An aviation" badge placed directly
in front is considered ample trimming
or If handsome hatpins are to be
used, no other trimming Of any kind
is introduced.

going around and around her figure
to break the long lines, now don't you?
Well, there Is frock that should make

tracts from height. There are the

made by the fur (Which is easily de-
tached for spring., the round yoke
which is always eschewed by the stout
girl the blousey arrangement of the
waist and the cartridge plaits just at

rails can be had showing paisley print
ed borders. If this is impractical, use
your plain material and buy paisley
silk or ribbon for the stitched-on bor-

paisley lined with the material.

accenting some color note in the pals
