Colors and Designs in Wearables for Spring; A recent fashion show held by fore most American style creators empha sized certain of the prevailing fashion tendencies, established silhouette and lines and pointed to the growing popu larity of colors whose vogue is ex pected to continue throughout the spring and early summer. As was to be expected, much atten tion was given to suits of boyish lines and in these there was a noticeable, tendency to choose hairline striped •materials and covert mixtures. The costume suit was not lacking. A coat of three-quarter length was; worn over a skirt of the same mate rial, topped by a tunic blouse of silk; In a shade titat contrasted with the. coat and skirt. A marked preference was revealed for brown in all Its color variations. The vogue of brown extends to mill nery and to footwear.

The center panel of the screen which hangs before this is of semi-transparent lacquer chiffon, em broidered In dragon and pagoda de-: signs In gold. It Is attached to the dress at either shoulder.

They wonder if they are going to pass their examina tions nnd if they are going up into an other grade the next year. “What do they want to go up into another grade for when they were all right in the one they were in? “Do you suppose I’d want to go up into a higher mud patch when I have such a nice one here? Mercy, no; I’m too sensible. “And then people worry for fear someone will not like something they have said. Why don’t they just grunt nnd squeal and if no one else likes it — well, iet them go on grunting and squealing and pleasing themselves. “People will fret that maybe they won’t be famous later on. “They want to lie great and fo have others admire them nnd say to them: “ ‘My dear young man, or, my dear young woman, or my ilpar boy or tny dear girl, you deserve the suc cess which hag come to yota, and I, for ane, congratulate you.’ “I’ve even heard them making up imaginary speeches which may be said to them some day. “They have so much nmbition.

(Prepared by the United Statee Department of Agriculture.) The extensive injury and destruction Of trees of all kinds during the winter season has brought many inquiries to h>e United States Department of Agri iulture regarding the proper methods p bo followed in repairing the damage one. The following suggestions are imide by the department: The first thing that should be done is to remove such large broken branches as are now, or may become, a menace to life and property; tlds Is usually best done ’’by cutting at the point where broken. Attention should then be given to injuries on the main trunk. If limbs havo been split, or partially split, from the main trunk, 411 splintered wood about the wound Should be removed with a sharp gouge and mallet, if not so situated that it can be sawed off. The scar should be smoothed in (he manner indicated in Farmers’ Bulletin 1178, Tree Surg ery, und treated as an open cavity, or as a large surface wound, as the Case mny necessitate. Repair Larger Branches. Attention should next be given to repairing the injuries on the larger branches in a similar manner, and last of all to the smaller branches. Sometimes when a limb is broken away the tree is so weakened at the ipoint of breakage that It mny agnln break In n severe wind, nnd to obvi ate this the top must be pruned back tnore or less severely. In case of spilt crotches, the ndvlce given Jn banners’ Bulletin 1178 should be fol lowed regarding the general treatment, Including bolting through und above the crack. In cases of estates where a great ambunt of injury has occurred, and only a comparatively small force Is available for repairing the damage, the final cutting of long stubs can be conveniently left for n time, but wounds or breaks on the main trunk, or close to it, should bo attended to promptly, in nny case before warm weather arrives. Leave Cavities Open. It is not necessary to fill cavities. It Is better in most cases to leave them open. All final cuts should be im mediately covered with some good an tiseptic nnd waterproof paint. It will not be necessnry to specially treat the ends of long stubs thut are to lie re moved close to the trunk later in the season. In no part of repair work should climbing spurs be used on n tree.

Grass Quite Essential for Starting Goslings Goslings do not thrive in small bnra enclosures as they are naturally grass enters. A range abundantly covered with tender grass and shade nre es sential to their growth. During the heat of the day they need protection from the hot sun. A high mortality rate results when goslings nre placed in bare fenced enclosures with the Idea of protecting them from injury by other birds or animals, writes R. G. Kirby In the Farm and Ranch. Tender grass cun he used as the only feed for goslings for the first two days. Then use n moist mash five times a day. An easily made mash consists of two-thirds mid dlings nnd one-third corn meal, bran, middlings nnd rolled oats moistened with skim milk. Some breeders start (lie goslings on bread and milk. Th® bread Is sonked in milk and squeezed nearly dry before feeding. After the first week the gosling* will relish scalded cracked corn. The goslings are grass enters and not grain eaters, nnd if any part of their ration is ever neglected be sure it Is not the regular supply of tender green grass which they can soon harvest for themselves on the right kind of range. Undesirable Flavors or Odors May Be Prevented Silage odors are absorbed largely through the body of the cow rather than from the air, according to testa made by the United States Department of Agriculture. However, these odor* may be practically or entirely removed by the aeration of the milk while It la still warm. Ruther heavy feeds of silage may be given to cows one hour after milking without uny undesirable flavors or odors passing Into the milk. When green alfalfa was fed In relative ly large quantities one hour before milking marked flavors and odors were noticed In the milk, but when as much as 80 pounds per cow was fed after milking there was no effect on the milk from the next milking. April Favored by Many for Sowing Red Clover Many farmers seed clover as early as February, while others wait until April and sow with apparently equal success. Koine sow half the seed early and half late, since a very light seed ing will be sufficient under fuvorubla conditions. The month of March 1* recommended by many. A honey combed or dry, frozen condition of the soil Is likely to exist at that time. A dry, cracked condition develops a lit tle later and It is considered by theae inen as second choice. If n small amount of grain Is fed while running on alfalfa, bogs will make n rapid and profitable growth. * • * Early spring reminder: Sometimes a good denning up Is a wonder-work er In beautifying ttie farm and home premises. * * • The farmer has the advantage of most factory owners In that he may change more easily from production of one produce to tftfother. * + * The way of the one-crop farmer, like that of the transgressor. Is hard; Indeed the one-crop furmer Is a trans gressor against the laws of good farm ing. * • • Hogs are, by nature, specialists; first-class bacon and first-class hams usually do not come from the same animal * • • Eggs from the medium-weight varie ties, like Plymouth Bocks, Wyan dottes, Beds, etc., should be set la March so that the pullets will have time to get well matured and be ready to lay when the price of eggs goes up In the fall.
