EARLY POTATOES NEED COOP CARE Weak and Improperly Filled Containers and Lack of Ventilation Cause of Loss. DISCARD DISEASED PRODUCT Load With Care to Prevent Shifting and Breakage—Sacks and Hampers Not Suitable—Loading on Bilge Is Not Safe. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) More care in loading cars will prevent much damage In shipments Jtf new potatoes, say specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, discussing methods of loading and types of containers in use. Shifting of the loads in transit, weak and partly filled packages, and luck of proper ventilation are found to be responsible for losses in niHuy ears arriving at markets, Caution- against loading diseased potatoes Is also urged because of the large trambcnrbf shipments that show scab, wilt, or late blight, and in some cases are practically worthless when they reach the market. Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels. The double-headed ventilated barrel, it is said, appears to be the best package for new potatoes that is now in general use. If properly made, it protects the potatoes as well as holds them in place. Much less breakage has been found In cars where the barrels are loaded on end than when loaded on their bilge. Wooden strips should be placed on top of fhedbwef layers of barrels for the upper layers to rest upon. - There is one serious objection ro this method of loading. In some instances the barrels appear to lie slack measure when they arrive at the market, due to the jolting, in transit. This fault, however, it is said, can be largely ellfn-c hinted if growers will fill their barrels’ full and.use a press when heading. Loading barrels on their bilge is said not to be a safe practice unless .headliners (strips to prevent heads bulging) are used. It is said that the use of headliners would prevent ninetenths of-.the breakage, in all types of loads with barrels. Records -show that practically every car has. from 3

Extra bracing is needed when barrels are loaded on their bilge. : Rolling. Wooden strips should be placed across the poor at frequent intervals tn order to prevent, tiro lowei* barrels s from rolling. -Use -of rocks for this purpose localizes tile strain and causes much breakage. Strips should also be placed across the. doors to prevent the barr.els on the upper layer from falling against and jamming the doors. The sack, it is said, is not a suitable container for tender new potatoes; it offers no protection from linHstflK. Hmt .when loaded is hard to ventilate. If sacks are to he used they should be of no greater capacity than 120 pounds. This size sack can he handled with much greater care and lends itself to-ventilation better than larger sizes.

It Is said, the grower should exercise great care to keep diseased and Injured, potatoes out of it.

GROW TWO CROPS OF TURNIPS IN GARDEN Tops Make Excellent Greens in • ' Southern States. f if Sown in Drills Soil May Be Stirred Between Rows and Plants Kept Growing Rapidly—Will Stand i Considerable Cold. (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture.) 0 Turnips are one. of the most universally grown of all garden crops. In the northern states turnips are planted in midsummer and storetj for wluter use. In the sbuthern states- they are planted early in spring for early summer use, also In the full for use during the winter. Turnip tops 'make excellent winter greens -throughout the greatet part of the southern stqtes. Forearlj spring culture It Is customary to.sow the seed in drills a|a>ut a foot apart and thin- the plants to about three inches in the drill. By this method

An Excellent Type of Turnips. the soil may be stirred between the rows and the plants kept growing rapidly so as to attain reasonable size before the -heated term of early summer gets in. In the North it is customary to sow the seed broadcast about the 25th of July on land from Which early peas, early potatoes, or some other early crop has been removed.' The land Is raked smooth and the small seeds simply scattered over the surface, then coxvyed by again raking the soil. No cultivation is required where the seeds are sown broadcast. In the southern states turnips are frequently destroyed by plant lien that suck the juices of the leaves. These, insects are rather difficult to control, spraying with nicotine prepnrutions.being about the only remedy. Turnips stand considerable cold, but ■those that are-to he placed in pits or in the cellar for winter use should not lie allowed to freeze, before being stored. If they become frozen in storage, they should -not he disturbed until they thaw naturally. PLAN TO ERADICATE SORREL Apply Ground Limestone, Hydrated Lime or Quicklime—Rotation of Crops Is Good. A pood treatment for sheep* sorrel, according to th’e Uhtt’ed States Depart.ment of Agriculture specialists, is-to apply ground limestone two tons per acre; hydrated lime one and one-half ton per acre, or quicklime one tori per acre. The quicklime can he used to advantage by slaking with water and sprinkling the mixture freely over the sorrel. The liquid will injure the leaves as well ns help correct soil acidity. Sorrel can be destroyed by spraying witli solution tis sulphate of Iron (copperas), two pounds to the gallon of water. The treatment will not permanently injure grass and will destroy the weed if repeated as often as the sorrel tries to send out new leaves. Spraying is useful where sorrel occurs its patches in a good stand of grass and around rocks and fences. Iron Mltjilmtc N (Icoiilv to t-lowrs and tn many broad-leaved* weeds,. hut is not injurious to animals or the soil. Sorrel can-easily be destroyed by a. short rotation of crops. If-possible, the rotation should lie arranged so that the soil -wifi be at different seasons of each year. BETTER PROFITS IN POULTRY Specialists of Department of Agriculture Give Reasons for Favoriftg Standard-Breds. . Here .are five reasons given by specialists of the .United. States Department of Agriculture for keeping standard-bred poultry; Standard-bred poultry is more uniform, in size,, type and color. - Standard-bred poultry is more attractive in appearance and appeals more strongly to purchasers of,stock and eggs. Standard-bred poultry offers a greater combination of practical and useful qualities suitable to the needs of the farmer and poultry .keeper The products of standard-bred fowls tire more uniform in quality, ore-'in greater demand, and bring better priees. Standard-bred poultry means greater success and better profits. Give Chicks Sour Milk. The feeding of sour milk Is almost a specific remedy for white dlarrohea, leg Weakness, cannibalism, and gapes, which are the pauses of heavy losses in young flocks. - Killing Persistent Weeds.

MAKE DOUGHNUT LIGHHND RICH Results of Series of Experiments Made by Department of Agriculture Specialists. THINGS TO DB TO AVOID FAT Do Not Be Too Lavish in Use of Butter, Sugar and Eggs— Testing Temperature With Thermometer Is Excellent Plan. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) If you are fond of doughnuts, but find those you make at home become •oaked with fat while frying, the following suggestions may be of help, tfhey are the result of a long series of experiments In the absorption of fat by fried batters and doughs carried on in the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture. A rich dough always - absorbs more fat in frying than a plainer mixture. UDless you wish your doughnuts to be excessively rich, do not be too lavish With butter, sugar, and eggs. The following recipe makes doughnutswhich, if properly fried, are nyt so excessively rich as to be a menace to digestion. Plain Doughnuts. Lcupful sugar.

Frying doughnuts in fat that is-pot hot enough, or rolling and cutting them so that they are too thick to cook through in a short time, or failure on the part of the *cook to judge when they are done, or any other cause that keep,S them in the fait too long, tends to make them greasy. Testing the temperature of the fat with a thermometer is the best method in frying doughnuts. Other methods. ..though sometimes successful, are uncertain. A temperature of 185 degrees Centrigrade, or 365 degrees Fahrenheit, has been found satisfactory. Doughnuts rolled about % inch thick can tistmily be-fried-In 3 minutes at this temperature if they are turned to make them brown evenly; or they may b# fried in 1% minutes If forced under the surface of the fat during frying. Frying With a Basket. ' 'lf.was found that the use of some device to force the doughnuts under the surface of the fat was the most satisfactory method of frying. An <>rdiriary Wire frying haskef witlv trhail and slightly smaller In dinnteter thnn the frying kettle, can be used. When the doughnuts first rise to the surface of the fat,-lower the-enipty basket over them, under the surnice of the fat. Doughnuts fried by this method absorb less fat, brown" evenly, and are much less apt to crack titan when turned In frying." The basket fifn he used for draining the doughnuts after they nre removed from the fat.

Dangerous .micro-organisms,' known ns ‘'genus," as well us those which cause fiyod to spoil, arc often to be found iii® food which has been carelessly handled. Typhoid and scarlet fevers, tuberculosis, colds, influenza, dlphthoriu, und other diseases may be carried by food. Most so-called food poisoning is due to harmful microorganisms carried into the body by food which has been contaminated either by accident or carelessness. These organisms are to be found everywhere, but especially In dust, •dirt an<) filth. They are often carried by flies, vermin and household pests. They may also get into food from unwashed hands or from dishes which may appear clean but are not* To guard against these microscopic enemies of (lie human race, protect the food from dirt, tilth and flies by Keeping. It In clean places and in clean receptacles, say Department of Agriculture specialists. Insist that every person who handies, food or dishes washes the hands before beginning work, scalds ail the dishes, dries them with towels washed out in boiling wafer, or drains them dry. Gare should be taken to cover the mouth and nose in sneezing and coughing, particularly when near food. MAKE CLOTHES LAST LONGER Garment* Boen Become- Shabby If Not Given Good Care—Airing and Washing Is Urged. Garments even of the best quality, design and workmanship will soon become shabby through lack of care. On the other ha%d, those that may have cost only half as much may be kept trim and fresh for a considerable length of time through painstaking care. , Cotton and linen garments, especially those that touch the s'kln or are worn 1n hot weather, should be carefully aired and frequently washed, because they absorb oil and perspiration from the body. If dresses, waists and other outer garments - are , care-fully-placed on hangers as they are being aired, many wrinkles will disappear. Sponging and pressing will in faany “cases freshen cotton and woolen fabrics, but too frequent pressing of partly soiled white washable garments will tend to yellow’ them and colored ones may he permanently discolored in this way. PIN MONEY FOR FARM WOMEN Eggs, Poultry and Butter Furnish Means of Earning Tidy Sum All the Year Round. Butter and eggs furnish many farm women with most of the money they spend on themselves and their children. The amount of butter a woman sells depends pretty much oiT* the number of cows her husband is willing or able to keep. The number of chickens, however, Is usually determined by her skill and by the amount of time she can devote to caring for them. The women who Belong to clubs organized by the Department of Agriculture and the state colleges ’ are taught The best and most up-to-date piethods of caring for poultry. The members are also helped in organizing egg und poultry cl rules which 1 enable them to obtain better prices for their product. ..
