NOT so long ago there entered the
race with the regulation two-piece
Isult and the tailored dress, for street
(wear, the three-piece suit. That is,
isuits, in which a bodice attached to
ithe skirt is included, were Introduced
Es three-piece suits. They have proved
ieir staying qualities.
Summer is written in every line of

Wool Jersey Bathing Suit.
An unusual reature of the dress is
a sash of wide ribbon, with knot and
falling ends at the side and without
the coat the dress is complete. Capes,
in the place of coats, are shown with
many of these three-piece suits,
especially in the plainer ones of tweed
or homespun intended for tourists’
wear, and these are usually without
any sort of decoration.
For this summer there are bathing
suits—and bathing suits, in which
we may go down to the sea or the
pool, in th'e gayest of colors or the
quKtest, appropriately clad for actual
swimming or for play In the water.
The nicest thing about them, next to
this practical wearing quality, is the
fact that they are delightfully pretty,
Wool jersey is the excellent medium
chosen for ranking many attractive
suits, but the knitting mills are con
tributing just as many short trunks,
ending a few Inches above the knees
and made in one with one-piece over- 1
garments in most caseß. There are
some new, full-skirt styles, either
shirred in at the waist line or hav
ing deep knife plaits, like the suit
pictured here. Bright-hued stripes al
ternating with dark ones, make this a
vivid model, but it is shown here in
a quiet brown and tan combination
that is nevertheless snappy in style.
The short sleeves are noteworthy be
cause in many of the new suits the
arm’s eye is elongated, and extended
by the addition of a band, or other
wise managed to form a very short
sleeve.
Besides these wool suits there are
those of gingham to be reckoned with.
These are made of checked ginghams,
and are in a class by themselves.
They are pretty and practical, when
the element of warmth does not have
to be considered, but they are new
arrivals, and their merits must be
tested out. The feet are properly
dressed with hose rolled below the
knees and laced sandals, as shown in
the illustration above. Close-fitting
caps, of rubber cloth, cover the hair.

USE OF MILKING
MACHINES GAINS
Increased Number Being Em
ployed Makes Cleaning Meth
ods of Much Importance.
HOT-WATER METHOD IS BEST
To Keep Mechanical Devices Sweet
and Clean All Parts Should Be
Scrubbed at Least Once
Every Week.
(Prepared by the United St&tea Department
of Agriculture.)
The Increasing use of milking ma
chines In the United Stutes makes the
method of cleaning and caring for them
an Important one. In studies of dairy
sanitation the number of bacteria
which survive various methods of
cleaning and care enables investigutors
to determine ‘he relative merits of
various systems of cleaning machines.
In addition to laboratory observations,
the United States Department of Agri
culture has tried out methods of clean
ing and sterilizing mechanical milkers
on a number of farms.
On 13 farms where only ordinary
care was given, the highest bacteria
count was more than 2,000,000 per
cubic centimeter, und the average was
more than a quarter of a million. After
the machines had been kept clean and
sterilized by the hot-water method, the
average of 261 samples showed less
than 20,000 bacteria per cubic centi
meter, and one sample showed only
one thousand. Os course, with careless
methods, milk produced by hand milk
ing may be badly contaminated; but
the milking machine, being an addi
tional piece of apparatus between the
cow and the consumer, should receive
special care.
Hot-Water Method Best.
Sterilizing milking machines with a
chlorine solution has been done on a
good many farms, but the tests made
by the department have shown that
much better results come from the use
of the hot-water method. Just after
milking, the machines are rinsed with
cold or lukewarm water drawn through
by vacuum, the stream being broken
occasionally by pulling the teat cups
out of the water and Immersing them
again. This is done 10 or 12 times. The
process is then repeated with hot soda
solution, and the cups and tubing are
washed with a brush at the same time.
Then the parts are rinsed by drawing
clean water through by vacuum.
After this cleaning, the long milk
tubes with the teat cups attached are

detached from the head of the pail,
the air tubes (on inflation types of ma
chines) plugged, and the whole im
mersed in a tank of clean water. The
water is then heated to 160 degrees or
170 degrees F. This may be done by
setting the tank on a stove; by setting
it up and building a fire under it; or
by introducing steam from a boiler.
The parts are left in this water until
the next milking.
The effect of heating upon the rub
ber parts has not yet been fully de
termined, but so far the temperatures
used have had little effect on the life
of the rubber.
Clean Thoroughly Each Week.
To keep the machines sweet and
clean they must be taken entirely
apart once a week and all the parts
scrubbed with brushes and hot soda
solution. The vacuum line should be
cleaned every two weeks by drawing
hot soda solution through It, but if
milk is accidentally drawn into it the
pipe should be cleaned Immediately
after milking. Pails and covers need
to be washed and sterilized with steam
or boiling water after every milking.
It Is important that the development
of mechanical milkers should not be
handicapped by improper methods of
cleaning them.
WOOD ASHES ASSIST GARDEN
Material Should Be Scattered Over
Soil to Get Benefit of Potash
Fertilizer.
Do not waste any wood ashes from
the grate. Strew them over the gar
den. They are rich in potash fer- |
tilizer. It will leach Into the ground, ;
but unlike nitrates, will remain there :
in suspension and the plants can get 1
the full benefit. You are throwing ;
away money when you throw away j
wood ashes. They are especially
valuable for daffodil and tulip beds. (■
CUCUMBER DISORDER
SPREAD BY INSECTS
Mosaic Disease Is Widespread
in the United States.
Wild Cucumber Vine and Common
Milkweed Are Principal Host
Plants of Malady—Eradica
tion Is Strongly Urged.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The wild cucumber vine and the
common milkweed, as shown by in
vestigations by the United States De
partment of Agriculture, are the prin
cipal wild host plants of the cucum
ber mosaic, or “white pickle” disease.
This disease is widespread in the
United States, but is most general and
serious in the Middle West, where the
major portion of the pickle-growing
Industry is located. Cucumber mosaic
is caused by a virus, and the most
common means of spreading It is by
two kinds of insects, the striped
cucumber beetle, the melon aphis, and
by pickers. The disease is not carried
through the winter in the soil or by
insects, and trials have shown that
Mosaic Disease of Cucumber.
seeds from diseased cultivated cucum
bers rarely produce mosaic plants. It
lias been found, however, that seeds
from mosaic fruits of the wild cucum
ber will produce a certain percentage
of mosaic plants when planted and
the disease may thus winter over on
tills wild host. Wild cucumber vines
appear along fences and streams from
three to four weeks before the culti
vated cucumbers are planted, und the
striped cucumber beetle feeds on
these wild plants and then flies to
the cucumber fields, carrying the
mosaic virus if It exists. The com
mon milkweed Is also subject to cu
cumber mosaic and as it lives for
many years the disease is reproduced
each year from the diseased roots.
Insects, particularly the melon aphis,
are also the agents which carry
mosaic from milkweed to cucumber.
Eradication of these wild hosts is
strongly advised as the most effective
control measure yet known. Field
experiments indicate that such treat
ment not only reduces the amount of
disease in the fields, but also its seri
ousness by delaying its appearance
by two to four weeks just at the time
when the plants are producing large
yields.
CORN FOR SILAGE PURPOSES
Early Planting of Well-Matured Seed
of Large Variety Is Often
Most Profitable.
In the north an early planting of
well-matured seed of a large variety
of corn is often most profitable when
the crop is intended for silage pur
poses. Os course, if a grain crop is
desired, the corn variety must be
chosen that has the best chance of
maturing a good yield of grain. But
if silage is the object, the same de
gree of maturity is not necessary'.
Tlie production may be increased sim
ply by choosing a somewhat longer
season crop, one that will reach the
proper ensiling stage at about the
same time the Northern grain would
have to be maturing. Here Is one
more place where the Northern silo
owner can get the jump on some of
his less fortunate neighbors.
BIG DANGER IN USING LIME
When All Acidity of Soil Has Been
Used Up There Is Trouble in
Raising Some Crops.
A test was made covering 15 years
of growing truck crops with manure,
at the rate of ten loads to the acre,
and with other fertilizers. The fer
tilized plots yielded good crops for a
few years and then failed. Doctor
Hartwell of the Rhode Island experi
ment station does not advise any fer
tilizers In continuous crop rotation
without green manuring. He said that
Rhode Island wus responsible for the
use of lime, and now It ought to be
responsible for saying that there Is
danger in using too much lime. Wluffi
you have used up all the acidity in the
soil you are in for trouble, especially
with such crops as spinach. If you do
not get any pink on blue litmus paper,
the soil does not need more lime.

BIG VALUE OF ALFALFA
Alfalfa pasture is worth $25
to $35 per acre when It will feed
20 pigs per acre that will gain
200 pounds each during the sea
son. If they are fed without
pasture, they will need 1,500
pounds more of corn and 80*1
pounds of tankage. In addition
to this we can cut a ton or two
of hay from the same land and
still have better grazing than
if it were not mowed.—J. 11.

ROAD
BUILDING
PROBLEM OF SKEWED BRIDGE
Methods Used for Calculating Stresses
and Proportioning Are Not
Approved.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Methods of calculating the stresses
and proportloiling the size of skewed
concrete-arch bridges which have been
considered good practice In the past
may be Incorrect and result In the col
lapse of the structure, according to
engineers of the bureau of public

roads of the United States Department
of Agriculture. A skew bridge Is one
in which the center line of the bridge
Is not perpendicular with the abut
ment on which the bridge rests, and
Is used when a bridge crosses a stream
or railway trnck diagonally. The
bureau is jointly responsible with the
several state highway departments for
the correctness of the design of all
structures on federal-aid roads, and
for this reason the problem Is being
carefully studied.
WIDER HIGHWAYS WIN FAVOR
Originally Engineers Considered 10-
Foot Roadway Adequate— Now
Urge 20 Feet.
Former Superintendent of Illinois
Uighwnys S. E. Brndt of DeKalb, 111.,
who has done much to boost the good
roads movement In his state, says en
gineers originally considered a 10-foot
highway adequate to meet the needs of
traffic between populous centers.
Then they learned the folly of this
contention and boosted the width. It
was finally made 10 feet. Roads are
being built 18 feet in width and now
come prominent engineers advocutlng
a 20-foot highway.
The shoulder maintenance Is a prom
inent factor entering into this prob
lem. The upkeep of a shoulder usual
ly exceeds the original cost of the ex
tra two feet of pavement, It has been
learned by experience. For this reason
highway experts are going on record
advocating the wider pavement for
trunk line highways. The upkeep of
shoulders Is very high, especially
where there is heavy truck traffic.
PAVED ROADS AND DAIRYING
As More Improved Highways Are
Constructed Milk Routes Are
Being Extended.
Paved roads and dairying go hand
in hand. As more Improved roads are
constructed, milk routes are extended
and the farmer farther from the city
is prodvided with a market for his
milk. Over unimproved routes re
quiring wagon delivery, the longest
route possible Is only apiwoxlmntely
15 miles while over paved highways,
traveled by motortrucks, routes cov
ering as high as 40 miles are estab
lished. Large areas of prospective
dairy country are waiting only the
construction of more hard surfaced
roads. When these are built, many
more farmers, now cut off from their
market, will receive the benefit of the
economical and rapid transportation
made possible by the motortruck and
the paved highway.
HIGHWAYS ON PACIFIC COAST
Various Western States and Govern
ment to Spend Immense Sum
for Road Improvements.
Twenty million dollars, the largest
amount of money expended In one year
on the Pacific coast by the federal
government on stute highways und
post roads, Is to he spent during this
season. The western states, Washing
ton, Oregon,' California, Wyoming,
Colorudo, Montana, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona and New Mexico will
expend the same amount. Many of
the roads will he 20 feet wide and of
concrete six Inches thick, much heavier
than highways built by the states
heretofore.
Benefits of Good Roads.
Good roads in the country will do
I more to lower the high cost of living
and more for the prosperity, comfort,
culture and happiness of the people
than things fought over In 12 presi
dential campaigns.
Good of Motortruck Lines.
The establishment of motor truck
express lines In every farming com
munity will stimulate the production
of more food, reduce the cost of liv
ing and probably will make public
markets successful In American cities.
