HINTS ON KEEPING HANDS PRETTY

Simple Methods Will Aid Housewife During the Fruit and Vegetable Season. One of the bugbears of the fresh fruit and vegetable season is the reMilting stained appearance of the hands. However, -ays a writer in the New York Tribune. I have one very canny friend who is "chief cook ami bottle washer" and everything else for a large family of boys, doing the entire baking and brewing and housework (with The good help of the aforesaid boys), whose hands are. to my constant amazement, always not only immaculately clean, but white and soft, with well-kept manicured nails, seldom showing a trace f grime or stain. 'How do you do it?" I asked. This is her answer: "To begin with, aJways keep a cut lemon in a saucer vor the sink, and use it immediately (not In an hour or veu live minutes) after scraping carrots, peeling potatoes or cutting apples. Kiep the other half on the bathroom vh,'l!', rut side down, of course, or ue whole b nioa punctured, and let it stand in a little water to prevent h.nrder.in: Thl gives, when used with a hard. go.d soap, besides cleanii.g. a soti tete.re to the kin.

SOME HINTS TO DRESSMAKERS Medium of Uneven Lengths Being Used to Express Individuality in Articles of Dress. Individuality in many articles of dress, especially frocks, suits, coats and blouses, is now being expressed through, the medium of uneven lengths. Skirts wide, hooped, long and uneven, are being introduced for evening wear in tulle and laces. Sleeves emphasize tlie wider full lengths with the nun's sleeve specially featured. Tunics droop at the back and skirts are short at the back and under a long front apron. A new sleeve shown on dresses and sometimes on coats is in bell shape, the opening brought to a close lit above the wrist by means of inserted georgette or other soft fabric, in a color contrasting with the material 0 the garment. The effect Is similar to a Japanese lantern. Uses for Bran. Tor paintwork ami varnished woodwork bran is Invaluable. Colored goods usually fade when washed, but if washed in bran water they will not lose their color. It is excellent also as a scalp cleanser, making the hair glossy. Used instead of soap, it softens and whitens the hands. To prepare bran water, till a small bag with bran, place in a bowl and cover with boiling water. White Skirts. White skirts are worn with coats of practically all colors. One particularly attractive combination is the cream white skirt and the Chinese blue coat, with creamy lace waistcoat. Heavy canton crepe is the fabric used for coat and skirt. Long Panels. Panels which go considerably below the hem line have taken a lint; c:rip on feminine fancy. Thus tie short skirt is preserved, but the Tect is something neither long nor shi :t. fruit I pour a few drops in the palm of one hand, rub the lingers of the other in it, and the stains vanish as if by magic. Add a few drops of water and be sure that the liquid gets well around the nails and tips of fingers. Kun a little more water into the bowl, use n nail brush and pumice and not only hands but nails will assume their wonted appearance. -Caution: IV sure and do not let any of the liquid, however diluted, fly on a colored dress when washing your hands. Carelessness in this respect before I had learned by sad experience resulted in covering the waist am! culls of a lavender dress with fine ecru spatters." Fashion Skirt Fads. A professional dancer at one of the Prrls cafes caused much favorable comment among the experts when she appeared in a gown of heavy black voile printed in a design of large white tlowers. The skirt had gores let in from the waistline down, giving a deidedly circular flare. The same day r. New York actress appeared in a circular skirt of light oxford gray mixture, smoothly fit teil over the hips, but gored with some fullness at the siller Many designers have contended that the circular skirt would fail of favor.

DRAINAGE PIKES

WET LANDS GOOD Too Much Moisture in Soil Retards Cultivation and Reduces Yield of Crops, PLANTING ALSO IS DELAYED Drains May Be Either Open Ditches or Tile or a Combination of Both First Make Careful Survey and Examination. (Prepared by the United Slates Department of Agriculture.) The effect of too much moisture Is readily apparent in farming a wet area, although persons not acquainted with drainage do not always recognize the presence of too much water in soils that are not saturated, say specialists of United States Department of Agriculture. Tite low part of the lield is not ready for plowing and planting as early In the spring as the higher parts; hence, unless the spot Is to be abandoned, the farmer either must finish the task another day or leave the whole until sucli time as the wet place can be worked. Planting on all or part of the field is then delayed frequently seven to ten days later than on land better drained. Undrained Land Slow to Warm Up. The wet ground is cold, too, and the seed In It sprouts more slowly. The difference between the two parts or the two fields continues to grow as the season advances; the undrained land frequently cannot be cultivated until several days after heavy rains, and again coldness retards crop growth, as in the spring. The difference in temperature may be six to ten degrees between the drained and undrained soil. The effect of later planting and slower growth must be apparent In the harvest, especially where the growing season is cut short by frost. On a field not uniformly well drained the crop will mature unevenly, and not only will the yield be impaired in amount, but if uneven in quality the crop will be rated for market at a low value. Farm drains may be either open litches. or file, or a combination of Digging the Ditch Preparatory to Laying the Tile. the two. The "blind ditches" of stones or poles covered with earth have been practically abandoned because they are not permanent, usually becoming clogged with earth In a few years. Open ditches are usually less costly fo construct, especially when large capacity is required, and water on the ground surface will How Inlo them more readily, but for the smaller drains tile has a number of advantages. Open ditches interfere with cultivation, especially where large machinery is used, but tile are buried deep enough to be out of trie way of farming operations. The whole field may be cultivated when underdrains are used, but a system of open ditches necessarily takes up much tillable ground. P.efore any expenditures are made there should be a careful survey and examination to determine the source of the water to be removed and Its amount, the most economical arrangement of the drains, the grades obtainable, the proper sizes of drains and the amounts of tile and of labor. Sometimes only a few drains are needed in the lowest part of the field; sometimes a uniform system is required with parallel lines underlying the whole area. In the latter instance experienced judgment is needed to decide what will be the proper depth and spacing for each kind of soil. Free Flow From Outlet. Of prime importance is the outlet, which not only must be the lowest point of the drainage system, but so located and arranged that it Will discharge water at the time when drainage is needed and not be useless because of high water In the outlet ditch or creek. The construction work should be carefully done, under the supervision of someone at least qualified to see that the tile are laid properly. It Is advisable to have a competent surveyor or engineer to aid in at least the leveling. CHICKENS THRIVE ON WEEDS Noxious Plants Growing in Fence Corners Make Good Eating for Confined Fowls. Every summer one can find a lot of weeds that are going to seed In fence corners. If certain hens or chicks are yarded, it is a -rood idea to pull up these weeds and throw them into the pens.

HEAVY FEED RESULTS IN BIG MILK YIELDS

Test Made With Purebreds on Government Farm. Rations Made Decidedly More Liberal Than Those Called for by Any cf Feeding Standards, Especially Grain Mixture. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) During the last two years a number of the purebred Holsteins at the government farm at Beltsvilie. Md., have been run on ofiicial test. In order to increase their milk yield their rations were made decidedly more liberal than those called for by any of the feeding standards. During the milking period they received daily about 1- pounds of alfalfa hay, 10 pounds of corn silage, and as much grain as they con hi clean up without getting sick; they usually ate eighteen to twenty pounds a day of grain mixture V. They were fed heavily also before their calves were One of Holstein Herd on the Government Experiment Farm. born; for CO days or more before calving they usually received about 15 pounds of grain mixture K, 12 pounds of alfalfa hay and 25 pounds of corn silage, a ration containing approximately four times as much protein and two and one-half times as much total nutriment as the routine ration fed to the dry cows of the general herd. The cows on test gave from lo.OOO to 20,000 pounds of milk in the year; that is, three to four times as? much as most of the cows in the general herd. A part of this larger yield is due to the fact that the test cows were better bred, but a part also is due to the larger quantity of feed they consumed, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture in charge of the tests. How much of the increased milk yield to attribute to each of these factors is a question of great practical interest. NEED OF BUSINESS PRACTICE Many Co-operative Associations Have Failed Because of Lack of Financial System. Lack of proper financial systems has been the cause of failures in many co-operative associations, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, who feel that now is an opportune time for emphasizing the need of good business practice among farmers. The bureau of markets has much information on systems of accounts and business practice for co-operative associations, and either directly or through extension workers it is prepared to give assistance in installing good accounting systems for co-operative grain companies, cotton warehouses, country creameries, fruit shipping associations, egg circles, cooperative cheese manufacturing and marketing associations, and co-operative grain elevators. Short courses of study in market accounting have been prepared and are used in a number of colleges throughout the country, and are also given at field points whore marketing associations are numerous. Systems of accounts are furnished upon request, and advice and assistance relative to their Installation is given through correspondence and by means of bulletins especially prepared for this purpose. LIQUID MANURE IS HELPFUL Of Particular Value in Garden When Vegetables Do Not Make Proper Growth. American fanners, generally, are not familiar" with the great value of liquid manure, and the way to apply It. It is exceptionally helpful jn the garden and especially when any particular vegetable Is not showing the proper growth. When any plants seem weak and standing still, an application of liquid manure once a week for a few weeks will work changes that will seem almost miraculous. Liquid manure is a reviver of dying plants, for it supplies nutrition In an easily assimilated form. It may be easily provided, and should be provided for every crarden. METHOD OF APPLYING LIME Some Farmers Obtain Good Results by Using Manure Spreader With Beater Reversed. Lime may be applied either in the fall or spring. The proper method of application is important from an economical standpoint. Scattering with a shovel Is wasteful and the distribution cannot be uniform. The method used by some farmers with very good results is to reverse the bearer of the manure spreader by crossing the drive chains. Then the apron may be covered with canvas to prevent the loss of the fine stone. With this method r Is eay to get a uniform distribution.
