[HE USE Of WOOL
Crepeiia Favorite Background
for Embroideries.
, i|k Manufacturers Are Stressing
Persian and Other Oriental
Designs on Crepes. ; •
Wool crepeiia is a favorite back-,
rroonJ for the lavish embroideries
characteristic of this season, accord
ine to a fashion authority in the New
York Tribune. A loose mesh puttern
in two tones of a matching shade
sometimes is used. Artificial silks
al.o are used to embroider on wool
crepes. Wide borders of embroidery
are worked on the popular wool cre
peiia.
The use of wool embroidery is not
confined to woolen and silk fabrics,
but is used on sheer cotton materials
such as batiste, which it almost cov
ers in close designs, so that practical
ly anew fabric is created. Bright
colors, such as the primitive yellows
and reds, are seen on cotton fabrics.
The soutiish used for embroidery on
crepe de chine and similar silk fab
rics of crepe weaves is very fine, al
most a cord, and usually is worked in
hands or geometrical designs, after
the old-time method., of braiding.
Sometimes the soutash is combined
with silk embroidery. .
Wool cashmere, too, is being decor
ated in a colorful and artistic manner
with braids and embroidery. This
does not mean that the dresses are
being decorated but the fabric itself
carrying such trimmings may be
bought by the yard.
All of the silk manufacturers are

designs on silk crepes for *he coming

HATS, BAGS, PARASOLS MATCH
India Shawls Used to Feature Attrac
tive Combination Exploited by
French Modistes.
Quaint-looking sports frocks are
made of India shawls with hats, bags
and parasols to match, notes a fashion
writer in the New York, Tribune. The
idea of the-matching set consisting of
a hat, bag and parasol is one that has
been exploited for several seasons by
various French modistes. But this
season’s vogue for everything printed,
especially in Indian and Persian de
signs, brings with it an excellent op
portunity for working out entirely new
variations of an old idea. -

It is but logical that the interesting
developments taking place In fabrics
should have a strong influence on mil

so we have them in hats. There are
the straw cloths braided and em
broidered with wool and soutash brakl.
In these, as well as in all other
millinery, the tortoise shell tints are
prominent. Most effective hats are
made in these shades braided and em
broidered in darker tones of brown.
Sometimes braiding is combined with
embroidery.

Especial Attention Should Be
Given to Follow and Com

Companion Crop—Rotation Is
Most Important
Pay especial attention to companion
and follow crops. A companion crop
is one that grows simultaneously with
another. A follow crop is. ns its name
indicates, something to follow and use
the same soil after the Orst crop is
harvested. Corn or cabbage would be
a follow crop for radishes, early beaus,
lettuce or spinach.
Companion Crops.
Parsley or carrots sown with radish
seed is a companion crop, the seeds
germinating in succession and the rad
ishes being pulled as they mature
while the parsley or carrots, taking
longer to germinate, will keep right on
growing among the radishes and con
tinue after they have been pulled.

growing when the radishes and onions
have been pulled give another example
of the companion crop.
By tabulating follow and companion
crops closely and accurately the
ground is used to its full capacity and
the greatest yield secured from the
garden. Plan for all the soil can car
ry. Fertilize to make It carry a full
burden of vegetables from frost to
'’rost.
Rotation Is Important.
Rotation of crops is important. It
is wise not to plant plants of the same
botanical order In the same positions
year in and year out. Beans and peas
should move across the garden and
back from year to year. Members of
the cabbage family should be shifted
In their position. So also should corn
as each of these vegetables exhausts
certain elements In the soil In time
and may also leave disease germs.
A convenient way of securing this
rotation is to draw a plan which you
can reverse. When you plant It from
left to right this year, next season
'.urn it around and plant the same
plan from right to left. In this way
the shift will be made with the ex
ception of the central rows. After
you have worked this for a season or
two, ft new plan can be drawn to give
more diversity of planting to the cen
tral subjects.
INCREASE MILK PRODUCTION
Government Teat Shows Cowa Fed
and Milked at Random Come
Close tx> Average Yield.
It has long been a rule on well-man
aged dulry farms to milk and feed the
cows at the same hours every day.
Regularity was always thought to have
a beneficial effect on production. How
ever, experiments carried on by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture on the government farm at Belts
vllle, Md., have shown that cows of
average production milked at the same
hours every day produced but slightly
more milk and slightly less butterfnt
than those milked at random, pro
vided the feeding was done at regular
times. When the feeding as well as
the milking was done at random hours
the cows produced about 5 per cent
less of both milk and fat.
Rural Co-operation.
Rural co-operation Is a grand thing,
and the first thing the average farmer
needs to do Is to overcome his Innate
Individualism and learn how to co-op
erate.
STERILIZED DAIRY UTENSILS
Of Great Importance That Milk Ma

(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Special care is required to keep
milking machines clean so that they
will not be a source of contamination
for the milk that passes through them.
After many tests the United States De
partment of Agriculture has decided
that the hent method —that is, the use
of hot water at a temperature of 160

salt-chlorln solution was found to ho
no better than the plain chlorin solu

A study of data from nearly 200 tests
by the United States Department of
Agriculture has shown that therd
were 838 per cent more bacteria in
fresh milk produced with unsterilo
utensils than In milk produced in ster
ilized utensils. After standing for 24
hours at a temperature of 00 degrees
F, the count was 000 per cent greater
for milk drawn, handled, and kept In
unsterlle utensils. Where steam Is not
available, thorough heating In boiling
water noticeably reduces the bacteria
count.

Campaign Against Rodents Under

Increased demands for campaign
against pocket gophera have led to the
undertaking of work on a large scale

A determined effort Is being made In
the alfalfa-producing sections to de
stroy these pests, which cause damage
commonly amounting to $2 or more
an acre, and often destroy the entire
stand.
A Chronic Complaint.
Heaves, a common disease in horses

Putting Away Edged Tools.
Always lie careful in putting saws,
or other edged tools way to see that
the tooth edge Is placed in such a posi
tion that no other tools will knock
against it and injure it.
Severely Cull Flock.
It is of great importance that the
flock be severely ci }fed before breed
ing. The sale of culls as dressed
fowls will enable you to buy better
quality roosters.
Alfalfa Helps Orchardist.
Alfalfa has been a boon to the dairy
man and to the general farmer as a
money crop. It Is now proving to be
n real boon to the orchardist, espe
cially the grower of apples.
Not Successful Farmer.
The man who burns bis straw and.
leaves the manure lie under the eaves

get rich by farming.
Feeding of Young Poults.
The feeding of young poults Is,
quite a particular operation. They
have to be fed very nutritious food
