CRAIG Instructor in Soil; Partium School of Agriculture Among the factors which are essential to crop production none are more essential than the maintenance of the proper moisture conditions. The amount of water available for a crop nay b- t! e r suit of many factors, aroerg h; h are the amount of rainfall readiness with which it is absorbed b the soil, the depth to the j xat' : ie. th textare of the soil, the organic matter, the union of tho furro eUe with the subsoil, the finning of the sub-surface, the existence of a plow sole, and the proper cultivation ot the surface. It will thus appear that the amount ot available moisture depends on many conditions, some of which are not under the control of the farmer -while be is more or loss the master of other factors. Tho chief factor, however, under his control after an intertilled crop is planted. 13 cultivation. Where the land 13 too wet. cultivation wb?ch leavos the surface very uneven ponnits a more rapid drying and warming; of the soil. But usually whoa land drains fairly well and when tho crop has not been planted oxtrendy cany there is little need of rulfitutlon to dissipate moisture. Thf a '.' more often need of moisture rer.srr atloa very early in tho seasor ; r-vent evaporation duo to lacK r T e'adiag and the movement of win over the unprotected surface. Dust Mulches. Tho efficiency of a dust mulch for onaerrtng moisture depends on Its being loose, fine, and dry.

The serum and blood are injected beneath the skin and into the muscles of the inner thigh region. Before vaccinating the hogs It is necessary to determine their condition, whether Infected or not. by taking their body temperatures. In order to secure tho best results it is very necessary to free that the work is dono as carefully as possible. Serum of proper potency must be used, or the animal may dlo of cholera. We do not recommond serum as a treatment for the disease. The serum production work Is selfsupporting. No funds have been provided for this work. The farmers aro charged 1H cats per cc. for tho serum and virulent blood. This chargo includes the cost of vaccinating tho hogs in the field. During the past year tho average cost per hog was sixty cents. Practically all of tho field work Is in the hands of tho veterinarians. stirred toil Is rapidly evaporated, then this layer acts to protect the moisture in the under layer. The more rapid this evaporation, the more cfectivo the mulch. If the mulch is cloddy so that the air in the interspaces is frequently changed, the mulch Is not so effective. Rains moisten and pack tho dust mulch, thus destroying its olTicloncy. And even where rain does not occur, mukbes tend gradually to lose their efficiency, due to becoming gradually compacted and to heavy dews. Tho deterortation of a mulch Is ntore rapid where there is a lack of organic matter in the soil Character and Depth of Cultivation. While deep cultivation to warm, aerate, and loosen the soil may bo necessary early In tho season to compact soils, tho ordinary cultivation should be shallow. It should not bo deeper than necessary to destroy weeds and to proserve moisture. Tho depth will vary with tho soil and the implements used. A cultivator which leaves a mulch of an even depth does not need to be run so deeply as one which leavos the mulch an uneven depth The more completely the mulch Is broken loose from the under soil, the less the depth required. The shallow mulch is much more efficient according to it3 depth than a deep mulch, and a shallow mulch permits the uso of a greater depth of soil by the plant roots. Number of Cultivations. The number of cultivations should not be governed by .ny hard and fast rule. The conditions of the surface and tho weeds should guide tho farmer in the number of cultivations. When a crust is formed, the soil should bo cultivated. It Ib very Important that weeds be prevented from growing for they rob the growing crop of both ; plant food and wator. grain separate As soon as the rice is tender. It should at once bo drained into a large cotlandcr to admit of tho : mass being shaken apart. If It Is to be used in a short time it may be left j in the collander and put In front of I the oven with the door left open so that all moisture may evaporate. If, however, somo little time Is to elapso before using, a cup of cold water may be poured through the rice as soon as It is drained and then It may bo set where it will dry slowly and reheat. It is woll once In awhile to shake the pan In which rice Is cooking to prevent tho chance of any dropping to tho botton and sticking, or If it b necessary to stir It either when cooking or drying, a fork 13 preferable to a spoon, tho chances of tnathing being losa. I'roparod in this manner It is flaky and appetizing In : appearance. It is false economy to buy a poor ffrade of rice.

TO BE WELL DRESSED SOME THINGS A YOUNG LADY SHOULD AVOID. Short Sklrti Don't Always Make a Girl Look Younger Silk or Satin Raincoat Is .Not a Utility Garment. Don't forget that you cannot make people think you have couio to town In a motor car Just becauso you wear a silly little bonnet or a huge chiffon veil. Don't Imagine that you look younger because you have olectod to wonr extremely short skirt; genorally spoaklng. you only succeod la appearing ridiculous. Don't buy a silk or satin raincoat and then uso It for gonoral utility purposes, if you would be welldrossod. A raincoat, as its name signifies, is to be worn in rainy or stormy weather, and Is entiroly out of place on a sunny day or for an evening wrap. Don't forget that tho veil you wear every day becomes very much soiled and Is a real menace to clear skin. Your veil may be easily washed In chloroform or ether, and will dry In ten raluutos. Don't arrange your hair Just like "nil the girls do now," when It Is tho most unbecoming way you can wear it. Remember that each girl must kcop In mind her own individual style end cator to It with n due regard, of course, for tho present styles. Don't choose clothes mado on very extremo lines unless you can afford to follow every whim of fashion. Remember tho woll-drossed, woll-bred girl Is never conspicuous, and her clothes never attract undue attontlon on the street Don't buy cheap flowers for your hat trimming and imagine you are practicing economy. The flowors will fedo with half a dozen woarings and your hat look shabby. Choose good ribbon lntsead. and whllo the first cost will be a little more, the wearing qualities of the material will more than make it up. Don't wear k ready-made skirt until you have put a braid on the lower edge to protect It from wear. Don't try to wear a ready-made pottlcoat with a drawing string in tho top. Fit the garment smoothly at the waist and over ho hips, and put It on a band to be fastened with buttons. PINAFORE FOR YOUNG GIRL Bte That Will Find More Favor Among Girls of Tcq to Twelve Than Ordinary Kind. Girls of ton to twelve years of ago often object strongly to wearing plnaI fores, especially white ones, though ! there are many occasions on which It I Is necessary to protect a dress; now. If j such a pinafore as this Is made in wit oomo pretty fancy cotton, trimmed with a scalloped bordor of plain. It will no doubt And more favor than one of an ordinary kind. It Is cut in one pieco and fastens at back. Materia! required: Two yards 3G inches wide; yard plain material 28 Inches wido. New Motor Bonnets. Tho habit ot riding In motors has become so wldosproad that the motor bonnot Is as Important as the everyday bat Thoro aro new ones made up ontlroly ot wido ..nd narrow plaited frills. Thoso nre put on a thin gauzo foundation which Is stiffened with wire. The frills are often mado of black and white ribbon, and held in rlace around the middle of tho bonnet by a two-Inch bnnd of black velvet Green Is a favorite color for summer, and stone-gray bat proved a serviceable one.

CHARMING COSTUME The charm of this cos tu mo Is its tailored simplicity, the model being doslgned to exhibit tho virtues of linon and plquo for early summer "tub" costumos. though for present wear this cut may bo admirably oxprosfod In aluminum-gray or Parma violet cloth. SUMMER WORK FOR GIRLS; An Absorbingly Interesting Kind la the Very Fashionable Bead Bag. If nny girl wants to undertako somo rather elaborate but beautiful summer work, an absorbingly Interesting kind Is the very fashionable bead bag; also purses and card cases of the same kind. Of course most people who have these charming things buy them and think It would be far too much work for a clever girl, nor is It too difficult Even tho Invelerately ; "sporty" girl takes a rest now and then from active amusements, nnd if she once learns to do this bead work she will become more and more fascinated by It She need only give her formerly Idle hours on the porch to it and before long sho will have a beautiful bag or purse. It Is necessary to tako a few lessons If one has never done any of the work, but tho fancy work shops that sell the materials give the lessons, too. Some of tho designs used are most artistic, some are quaint and suggestlvo of tho days of our grandmothers. Ono can choose between flowers and tnoro formal nnd conventional designs and between thoso that match cortain gowns and those that are neutral enough to go well with several. Newer than tho bags (but no more attractive) aro the flat card cases cov ered entirely with bead designs. Tho girl who makes one of theso during the summer has a most beautiful Christmas gift ready for her motheror older sister. Hooks on Cklrtband. Ono would think everyone would know that the best way to keop a blouse and skirt togetbor In not to uso safety pins, but to sew hooks In tho skirt and eyes to correspond on the back of tho waistband of the blouse; and yet. Judging by all the specimens of waist and skirt divorc and complete separation that wo soe. thoro nro still many to whom that knowledge is lacking. It might be well to say. in addition, that if the blouso bo too delicate In fabric to stand tbe strain, a bit of tape should be sowed to Its back, on which tho oyes can be fastened. Chenille Coats. Tho latest French and Kngllsh fnd la evening coats und wrapB of knitted chenille In bright colors. Those nro made aftor regular models In tho latest stylo, with diagonal stripes of fancy raised knitting.

WILBUR P. rlHSBIT BATTLE Tho Kiiomes of twilight built their castlo blBli. They heaped tho clouds In massive pile on pile With domes nnd toners topping nil the They flung up nulls and pillars nil tho white; Par to tho south Its utmost limit ran. Far to the north Its buttlomenls wore fluni; A castle like none over made by man. And high nbovo a crimson banner swung. Out of the sunset linze the castlo roco.

"I think," asserted the exhortcr. In the wnrth of his eloquence. "I think that each and all of us will continue In the next world the work we are doing In this one." Here two men arose and stnmpod Btorraily from tho building. Tho speaker affected not to notice the disturbance, but after the meeting ho asked one of the committee on reception who the mon were. "Well. I guess they got a little mad at what you said about having tho same jobs In the next world." was tho answor. "The tall man was Riley Ferguson he makes fireproof storago houses, and the little fellow was Pete Hales." "Ah, JUtti eu. And vnat docs Mr. Bales do?" "Soils llre.cscapos." The New Weather. We used to have our hot wcathct tabulated as "90 In tho shade." or "100 at midnight," or somo such impressivo thing as that. Rut now tho weather reports go into decimals the same as a baseball percentage table. "95.3" nnd "95. 4 are the records hung out for certain hours on certain days. No doubt n few years from now people will bo quarreling over whether ono day was ono-ono-thousandth of a degree warmer than another. As a matter of fact, when a man's hot ho's hot, and you can put the decimal point anywhere you like on that Diplomatic. Tho man runs across a dozen of his friends who have returned from their summer ani fall trips. "Say," asks tho friends, "didn't you tell us that If thero was one plnce In the country for a person to go on his vacation It was Sandy Reach?" "I believe I did." "Hut we didn't see you there, nnd now we learn that you went to Pino Mountain on your trip." "Yes, to toll you the truth. I wanted to be snro of having a qulot, restful spot" Diplomatic Secret. "Confldontlnlly." wo say to the attucho of the legation, "why did all tho foreign mlnlstors lenvo Ilelgrade after tho assassination?" , "On the quiet," he tolls us.
