Some of them even flaunt the outstretched wings of the royal vulture, that symbol of hope which the Pharaohs introduced Into their decorative scheme of things funereal to such a marked degree. There is a decided significance In the fact that these novel shades are the exact colors of the semi-precious • t stones which ornament many of the V royal garments recently taken from the ' Egyptian tomb.

Above all. the 'Insistent use by all of the Parisian " couturiers of shades or Intense blue. > flame, scarlet, citron yellow, orange, ; and what are known as Egyptian red and Pompeilan colorings all bespeak / their ancient origin. Colors for Out-of-Door Wear. So there Is no dearth of color this season in costumes designed for out-ofdoor wear. Formal evening gowns alone are, as a rule, keyed to less vibrant colors, though they more than compensate for this through their brilliancy of sheen. Fashioned of plain ' or fancy tinted lame, with a slight | favoring of Bilver doth, this type of gown Is ablaze with all-over era- * broideries In semi-precious stones usually in two colors. Turquoise blue and crystal or cut red stones with a tovchof black are particularly in evidence. The new metal cloths are soft of texture, lending themselves ideally to the prevailing modes that are draped. It Is remarkable, however, to see how njany of the newer models for evening are of simple, tubelike lines with beaded embroideries covering almost the entire surface. 6ften the draperies are set on separately at one side of the front or on the hip. It Is only the draped moire evening frocks and the cliurmingly youthful dance frocks of crepe or of chiffon which are more vividly colored. Quite Egyptian, the designers claim. Is the wide panel train hung from the shoulder line. It Is so heavily be- Jeweled that it sweeps far out from the figure at the back even when, as hi occasionally the case, the Jeweled girdle sloping downward from the waistline In'front, holds the train to the figure at the hips. Somehow this train suggests a return of the more formal type of wedding gown and the passing of the ingenue bride. The American woman is choosing a long coat for spring end it is a most elaborate affair wherever it is found. It is made in most instances and, strangely enough, of silk, but that silk is never allowed to be plain and unadorned. There Is all-over embroidery used In conspicuous and Inconspicuous ways. There Is nsuully applied a collar of soft white or gray fur to make it effective and becoming at the neckline. There Is always a tie belt or sash with a wide or a narrow bow at one end, which is the only means of holding the coat In place. The sleeves are, as a rule, fitted and narrow, but the embroidery extends all over their surface as well as the surface of the coat. The llr.'.ngs of these wraps are soft and sumptuous in grays or white or tan in one of Its many interesting spring shades. C*pcs of Silk. Then there are the capes made M silk. They are as graceful and charming as they can be, with many widths of fullness left in them so that their wearers can exert all of their individual ability In tl\e direction of hugging those waving folds about their figures and giving to them the draped lines that most become their own personalities. The question of this outer wrap has been something in which the American woman delights her fancy for expressing the present style. Here and there we see a three-quar* ter coat that holds a grave Interest, for It Is something so new In the possession of styles. These coats are loose and unbelted with strictly flowing lines, and they, too, are embroidered either for trimming about the edges, or, in an all-over pattern following the treatment of the longe/- wraps that have already been described. Coats for the three-piece suits are often found to be short. At times extremely «hort. At other times they grow longer, rerpaln in straight lines and end somewhere about the knees But these coats are cut so cleverly j that they never for one moment sug gest that they are anything tjpt essential parts of the suits of which they are parts. A great many of the coats for the three-piece suits are either trimmed* with braid or ornamented with embroidery of one sort or another. It 1b seldom, Indeed, that they are left plain, for it seems as though they must have some little sign of trimming to keep them in key with the season's styles. One of them Is made of gray kasba cloth and Is lined with a shade of almond green silk thaf makes a dellfhtful color combination. ^ m SOU. IS RBPRHEXr About 20,000 Hybrids Have Seen Fruited at Government's Testing Plantation at Whitesbog, Near Browne Mills, N. J. (HiNU* tor tb« ValM States PinHMHI Of Agriculture.) After experiments extending over 16 years, the United States Department ©f Agriculture has established the culture of the blueberry as a commercial Industry and has bred varieties with berries more than thfeefourths of an inch in diameter. The most outstanding cultural characteristic of the blueberry is Its requirement of an acid soil. It does not thrive In ordinary rich garden soil that has a neutral alkaSlne reaction. Testing Plantation. The department's testing plantation for hybrids is at Whitesbog, near Browns Mills, N. J. About 20.000 different hybrids have been fruited thus far. Propagation material of some half dozen of the best of these hybrids has been placed In t>e hands of several nurserymen, but ouly one of them has carried the propagation to the point of offering plants for sale, and .only one variety of these hybrids, Pioneer, Is as yet commercially available. Misleading Advertisements. Unfortunately a few nurserymen are taking advantage of the work that has been done in the domestication and Im- Is used hi such a way as to tead the reader to believe that this firm has for sale blueberries of the kind shown 19 the illustration, when as a matter of fact ordinary wild blueberries, first transplanting to a nursery, are furnished In response to the advertisement. Furthermore, advertisements issued by this firm give very misleading information. One of their -advertisements, in the February number of a well-known garden magazine, states that "by repeated tranfeplnntlng, we perfected the root system of the "plants", that "now, you may grow The Ordinary Wild Blueberry. blueberries as easily as any other garden berries"; and that "starting with our nursery-grown plants assures success under all conditions." These statements give a very erroneous and misleading Idea of|uth£^ conditions necessary for suceessln blueberry culture. ' MORE ATTENTION TO FENCES Very Little Real Building Has Been Done for Some Years--Labor In Repairs Wasted. : Sleeves Are Interesting The sleeves In this coat are chsrao- , tehstic of fhe sleeves in many of the coats of this general character. They are closely fitted at the armholes. and to the elbow they keep up that fitted tine without any interruption. After that they slope away until by the time they reach the hands they have become wide and spreading.

This Is one of the new ways to handle the material on a draj&d gown, being In accordance with this popularity of Egyptian lines. It Is also designed to suit the American woman's figure most beautifully. Hats' with large ribbon bows are the feature of the moment. They are becoming and extremely fraceful, and they certainly have a martfed style about them. On the earlv spring hats the brims fire very apt to turn away from the face, and to disclose one eye conspicuously, whilo the other eye Is completely covered and left out ot sight. They promise as for spring many neck arrangements of organdie, many placings of kerchiefs and scarfs and shawls..

Ope New York nurseryman has been using in an advertisement an illustration of a hybrid blueberry taken from a publication of the Department of Agriculture issued In 1918. The Illustration Very Httie real fence bulling has been done in a number of years, but a lot of labor has been put on old fences In trying to make them do service a little longer. Much of this labor has been practically wasted. No sooner is a fence that has outlived Its usefulness, repaired In one place, than It breaks down In another, and before the breakdown Is discovered, heavy damage has been done to some crop by live stock. BASIS FOR FEEDirO RATION The year 1922 tn Canada. Western Canada particularly, has been a year of quiet achievement. If there .has been nothing tn Its development of a spectacular nature, there has been a steady growth, a resolute elimination of things Immaterial to prosperity. The year 1923 is entered upon by the people of the West In high hope that it ushers In a period of prosperity based upon the productivity of the country and the vast riches of Its natural resources. Canada, In common with all other nations, has felt keenly the cycle of depression following the spurious nativity and Inflated business coming Immediately after the cessation of the war. It has met and overcome many ol^stacles in the path of Its prosperity. The year Just passed, however, has M en the sliver lining peep out from the edges of the dark clou 1 and has demonstrated to the world the celerity which this country can adjust Itself to changed conditions. This is evidenced by the fact that Canada has been the first among -11 countries whose currencies fell below par to bring that currency back to par, and even for a time Rbove par. It did this Li the face of what seemed insuperable difficulties, increased Its exports, lessened Its Imports, and generally set Us business bouse tn order. The high standing of Canada as a nation Is shown by the ease wl& which her bonds are absorbed and by the high prices paid for them, and Winnipeg, It may be mentioned, In a recent flotation obtained a higher price than even any provincial government for some time. Western Canada In 1922 harvested Its largest grain crop. Its production of grain, live' stock, cereal and dairy products will, w!.en all Is marketed, produce In the neighborhood of a billion dollars. There has been, and there still Is felt oonslderahle disappointment that the total value Is not larger, but the fact remains that this vast sum of money has come to the West, or is In the process of coming, and If, as Is untyubtertly true, much of It Is used tn the liquidation of obligations Incurred in the past, it Is but a safer and saner, If longer, road to that prosperity to -,vhl *h all are looking. In the process of reaching this prosperity it is inevitable that there must be some failures. As a matter of fact. It is the opinion of many prominent buslnefi men that 1922 saw the corner definitely turned and that 1923 will commence the upward swing.--Advertisement.

Many Hogs Arrive at Stockyards i Mor CripplwL v Waste ts Wholly Unnecessary ana Greatly Reduces Amount of Marketable Pork and Decreases Profits of Farmers. tfiHaul br the Ontt«d States PejaHmet sf Agriculture.) Figures recently compiled by the United States Department of Agriculture show that during a period of six' months In 1922 there were received at nine of the principal stockyards of the country a total of 28^75 dead hogs and 38,708 hogs In a more or less crippled condition. These figures Indl cate a waste that Is wholly unnecessary and that greatly reduces the amount of marketable pork and decreases the profit of the formers making tha shipments. The department points out that nearly ail of this waste m$y be attributed to Improper handling of the bogs just prior to shipment Quite often hogs> about to be shipped are rushed to a small lnclosure, penned up In a crowded way, and fed a heavy ration preparatory to being hauled or driven to the stock car. In getting fhem to the loading point, frequently, the animals are prodded, kicked, and hurried until worried Into a highly nervous condition. When ready for market, hogs should be assembled long enough before the date of shipment to allow them to become rested. Tliey should not be crowded into small pens or houses, nor fed heavy rations. If th^y are driven to the loading point, they should not be rushed on the way; If they are hauled, too many hogs should not be crowded Into the truck or wagon. The loading chutes should not be too steep, should be made secure and have the sides protected so the animals will not fall off. Crowding too many hogs In a car, particularly In hot weather, Is likely to result In a number of them dying in transit. Loading hogs after a heavy feed is injurious. A little hunger Is far better for them on the Journey than indigestion. There Is nothing to be gained in added weight of the animals by forced feeding Just before shipping. The aim should be to get as manji of the hogs as possible to the stockyards in good condition. CORN MOST IMPORTANT CROP Quantity of Yield Is Greatly Influ- ^•P^pwa.d by Quality of 8eed--(f pVP .
