COaT-FROCK .IS MODE

Garment Can Be Relied Upon to Do Long Service, Wrap May Be Worn Over It on Cold Days; -Stole Later, Then Jut by Itself. In the Nery earliest 'lays of the? new jnir when crocihcs begin to poke, their jIIow iioMN through the brown curth, und tho air blown fresh and clean with a promise of good things to come. we feel u ke'ii desire to throw alde our heavy wrap of winter ami to walk abroad, In the pale sunlight, unencumbered hy their weicht. We shall stUl iwcd to !e warmly clothed, and for this season we hhull prohahly lind ourselves considering fcome of the heautlfully warm and light woolen materials, with which the shops an crowded, with a view to purchasing a new coat-frock. Tor a coat-frock, at thin koiikoh of the year, ohserves a writer in the Christian Science Monitor, may well he regarded as an .ahsolutely safe Investment, one that can he relied upon to do us good service for many months t come. On the coldest days we can always wear a wrap ovor It and thei when things warm up a little It cat he worn very conifortahly with a stole and later on in the year, of course, just hy Itself. The latest expression of the coatfrock Is that which is carried out In two woolen materials, the one plain such as duvetyn - or velours de lalne. and the other a wool brocade. Some of these latter have the pattern all worked out in one color, .and the more attractive are those which combine two or three harmonizing colors, and when used In combination with a Coat-Frock of Two Materials. plain material of tlu most salient shade In the pattern some very original and pleasing effects can be obtained. Coat-frocks are also very successful when made of wool jersey or stoekingette, some charming effects being obtained by an embroidered stockingette being used with a plain one. The embroidery may be done with silk or tine wool, and small steel, gold, or colored heads may he Introduced to enhance the pattern. Things Now Artificial Flowers as Part of Headdress; Yellow and Orange for Evening Wear. The French style trend in hairdressing that includes some rather elaborate headdresses Is fast being accepted here, especially by young women and debutantes, who affect rather elaborate headdresses of artiflcial flowers, in many cases matching the flowers tnat trim their frocks in the way of girdles and skirt garlands. Little girls' midseason dance frocks are of crepe de chine in two-tone combinations and colorful organdies trimmed with net rutlles. Cray, it is said, is a color choice for spring, made up without color combination and in combination with henna and navy. Crepe weave in silk will he extensively usvd for dresses of all descriptions this coming spring. Yellow and rich orange are two colors for evening wear that seem to hold the preference over many other colors, equally lovely hut less brilliant. lflousos of crepe de chine ami georgette in combination are a spring nov Fashion Notes. It is no lmiger considered proptr to wear slippers to n atch the gown. This allows one to have a scarlet. Trench blue or nasturtium growth and wear yellowNh t!esh-eo!ored slippers with hose to match with each one of them. 1'nshion authorities say bronze kid slippers should not be worn. They ere only permissible In satin.

LIKE THE OVERSKIRT BLCU:E Stout Women Will Never Give Up Tunic Solution of Separate Skirt and Waist Problem. The stout woman will never Rive up the tunic of overskirt blouse. It Is the solution of the separate skirt and waist problem for her. Few of the new 'blouses cannot he worn by her, hut better lines result if she chooses the blotist that is slightly longer than the hip-length middy styles, as this, if It contrasts with the skirt. Is apt to emphasize hip breadth when it Is not wanted. Tor evening the large woman is almost unlimited in her choice of gowns. The new dyed laces can he used for her providing site does not set them too flutTy-rutny in character. Lowdraped effects, apron tunics and combinations with straight lines of satin will harmonize them with her ügure. Thus six? may choosv a navy satin with an apron front and back of black net embroidered in crystal. The modest decollete Ls U-shapcd, and while the satin remains smooth and untrimmed at the neck and shoulders, a full overblouse of the net falls to ;x low waistline In front, giving to the satin a bolero appearance. Short sleeves are of the net, also the ciose-ly-folded girdle, which ties in a fluffy bow at the side. Lace Corsets New Vogue. Luce corsets are new, and stouter than they sound, for the lace Is strong Uattenhurg or Cluny, and stitched bindings of silk, stay the edges and make a foundation for the eyelets through which laces pass.

Of course the slipper strapped about the ankle ls still worn, but the other Is newer. The New Shirt Waists. Printed sateens have been employed in New York for new blouses of the mannish shirt style. In the same style there are pongee, wash silk and cotton shirtings. To Wear Under Sports Sk!rL To wear under the sports skirt, a neat silk jersey petticoat tinished with a long silk fring will he just the rlbt thing.

ANNUALS

ARE UM ALIKE Covpeas, Soy Beans and Velvet Beans Have About Same Climatic Adaptations. COMPARISON MADE OF CROPS Ancng Important Points In Determin. ing Value of Legume Are Its Value for Forage and Its Ability to Suppty Nitrogen. (Prt-rared by the United States Department of Äßriculture.) Cowpeas. velvet beans ami soy beans are all summer annuals, agriculturally much alike and for the best results are adapted to nearly the same regions. A comparison oS these crops is not so much u matter of determining which Is the best crop as it Is a careful consideration of their climatic and soli adaptations and the special uses of each on the farm. Among the Important points Hint determine the value of a leguminous crop are Its value for forage, both in quantity and quality, either as hay or pasture; Its ability to supply additional nitrogen; and the value of the seed as a ash crop or for its utilization on the farm. The soy bean ha sahout the same climatic adaptations as corn, and therefore its culture is much more extended than that of either. the cowpea Cowpeas and Johnson Grass. or velvet bean. The velvet bean is especially adapted to the well-drained portions of the Atlantic and gulf coastal plain areas, while the cowpea can be grown successfully not only there, hut throughout the cotton belt and the lower half of the corn belt. The velvet bean and cowpea are quite sensitive to cold, whereas the soy bean withstands considerable frost In spring and fall. Cowpeas and velvet beans both succeed on poor soils better than the soy bean. For soil Improvement the velvet bean is, In general, superior to either the cowpea or the soy bean, although the cowpea succeeds under a greater diversity of conditions. The soy bean Is to be preferred for forage purposes on account of its upright growth. The cowpea and velvet bean are viny plants and therefore more dlflicult to harvest and cure. As a grazing crop for cattle and hogs In fall and winter the velvet bean cannot -he excelled. However, the cowpea and soy bean can be grown over a more extended area, and some of their numerous varieties furnish earlier pasture. For the production of seed, the soy hean lias many advantages over the cowpea and velvet hean. The soy bean matures all its seed at one time and can easily be handled hy machinery. Hand pic-king is most commonly practiced in gathering cowpea seed, although machinery can be used to advantage. It is necessary to pick velvet beans by hand because of the abundant, tangled mass of vines. The seeds of velvet beans, cowpeas, and soy beans are all excellent feed for cattle and hogs. Cowpea seed, however, is rarely cheap enough for feed, hut it is extensively used, especially in the Southern states, for human food. Soy-bean seed, in addition to its value for feed, is valuable for the production of oil and-meal, and its use for human food is increasing. The cowpea will undoubtedly continue to be one of the most important leguminous crops in the Southern ftates. No other crop Sown under Mich a diversity of conditions or receiving so little attention in soil prepnration and cultivation succeeds so well. Under the most varied conditions forage, soil improvement and human fod are obtained. ATTENTION TO WORK HORSES High Prices Asked for Animals Make It Necsssary for Famer to Get More Service.

SEEDLING GROWTH IS RETARDED BY BRUSH

Close Spacing Desirable to Produce Best Timber. When Tops of Trees Begin to Intermingle and Crowd Each Other Some of Them Should De Cut Out for Best Results. (Prepared by the t'nltcd States Depart mnt of Agriculture.) When cut-over land Is planted ' in hard-wood seedlings, it may happen that a natural bushy growth will for a few years outgrow the planted trees, overtop them or crowd them, und thus interfere seriously with their developinent. To Insure the projHT development of the seedlings, forest ppcciulists of the United States Department of Agriculture say In Farmers' bulletin "Crowing and lianting Hardwood Seedlings on the Farm," it is necessary to cut down the brush for two or three years. When old trees with wide-spreading crowns threaten to shade the seedlings so thoy will not develop properly, the bulletin suggests that such trees be cut out n few years after the new planting has been started. To produce clean-hodled timber, close spacing Is desirable.- WIiam the tops, of the trees begin to Intermingle and crowd each other, however, they become like overcrowded vegetables In a garden. Crowth Is stagnated. A good gardener will pull some of the vegetables In a garden that have reached this condition. When trees have readied a similar stage, some of them should be cut out. In both cases the resuPt Is the best development of tha remaining part rather than a poor development of the original number. The best formed and most healthy trees should be permitted to remain, and the others that are likely to interfere with their growth should be removed. Thinnings are usually necessary when a plantation becomes twenty years old, sometimes sooner. The openings in the crown-cover . of the stand made hy removing trees should not be too large to prevent, the growth of the remaining tree tops from cov ering the gaps in from three to five years. When poles are cut for farm use. a crude form of thinning may be accomplished by care In the selection of trees with a view to the improvement of the stand. Pruning of tree branches is usually unnecessary, and, because of the cost of labor, undesirable. If a tree is pruned too far up it may become topheavy and easily broken by severe winds. The catalpa, ash and black cherry are known to have suffered from this, and it seems likely the same is true of many other species. If, because of wide spacing, pruning ls necessary, it should be conducted in late winter or early spring, and should not be overdone.

SPRAYING KILLS HONEY BEES Discovered That Solutions Applied to Apple Trees Are Destructive to Little Insects. A series of tests to determine the effect of spray solutions on honey betis is to be undertaken by the California College of Agriculture, following the discovery that heavy spraying of aiple trees when they are in bloom lias resulted in great loss to bees seeking nectar. It is pointed out that bees are the orchardists best friends, as they help pollenization. SOIL IS IMPROVED BY LIME In Caustic Fcrm !t Flccculatss Land, Bringing Abcut More Ganular Ccnditiin.

Shi knows all the squirrels in the park and the birds that stay there in the summer. For several weeks Hetty rfas been lonesome because all her feathered friends went in search of warmer weather, but now she has plenty of company a?ain. Wild ducks are her newest friends. The ducks coming alight in Prospect park lake and generally remain a week or two to rest and feed. They are wary of men, but not afraid df children, If Hetty is an example. The other day she was walking with her father, a duck hunter. Hetty noticed she couldn't get near the ducks while she was with her father, but when she left him and ran along the shore alone she found she could approach them.
