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 Ithe attractive three-piece model shown Ihere and a glance reveals that it is especially well adapted to fashionable [fabrics. Pongee, kasha cloth, flannel «nd light-weight wool suitings are Attractive Three-Piece Model. lUsed for the skirts and coats, with [crepe de chine or georgette much in de- Imand for bodice and sleeves in these ®uits. The suit pictured has a bodice kind long sleeves of crepe de chine [with skirt and coat of kasha cloth, poth bordered with an embroidered band. The sleeves are gathered into a (peasant cuff, which repeats a part of the pattern in the embroidered bands, end the rolled collar is edged with the isame decoration. The coat fastens only [at the collar with ribbon ties and spreads at the front, revealing a bodice shaped like a vest. *, * —— 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. — 1- - corruoMT n vbtum wnaiu uwoa. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. 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 Milking Machine in Operation. 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. .^MmimimmuummimWMHWtHnniniHiHmiiHiNßuiHiHmnmmuiiiMiinmi.iUHiniMriwww^/g 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.

(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 Skewed-Arch Bridge Used for Stream Crossing Road Diagonally—Note Po sition of Railing on Opposite Sides of Road. 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.
