WASHINGTON. - Improvements in
w preseht-day methods of baking
bread in the field for the army over
the methods of only year or two ago
were seen in demonstration at the
Washington barracks the other day.
before delegation of officials from
the war department Those present
were Gen. Henry G. Sharp. commits
sary general of the United States
army; Col. David L. Brainard and Maj.
Henry G. Cole.
One of the feats performed was the
loading of an oven. capable of doing
the cooking for q hundred and fifty sol
diers, on a wagon in seven minutes
and three seconds. This was about
one-third of the time which similar
demonstration In oven packing had
consumed two years ago, according to
the officials.
No housewife or French chef could
have turned out better dinner or
winter, brown-crusted bread than did
the cooks in the open air with their
"take-down" ovens. in the opinion OF
the watchers.

plants placed thickly always grow
rapidly. A second reason for thick
sowing is to have enough plants for
some to survive. II the fly should at
tack.
Mixing the seed OF white turnips
with the Swedes is useful. as the ny
finds the plants Of the white turnip
more attractive than the Swede.
When the time for thinning arrives
the less valuable white turnips that
survive the fly may be thinned out
Dry, dusty dressings are well known
to discourage the fly. The only favor

motorists is that the 'ust they raise

this kind should be put on early IN
the morning while the dew is still on
the leaves A liquid dressing in the
shape OF parafiin emulsion applied

effective.
The dressings here recommended
are also useful to destroy the gray
aphis, which appears in the heart OF
the leaves in the height of summer In

also been held to be serviceable. the
object being to disturb the fly, also
to consolidate the soil around the
plants.
The turnip fly Is kept alive on
weeds of the turnip grass, such as

PREVENTING ROT OF PEACHES
self-5oIIed Lime-Sulphur Mixture Has
Proved Best Material In the
Southern Belt.

Rot is the worst enemy OF peach
The self-bolled lime-sulphur mixture
has proved to be the best material
to control 1t. This is made with
eight pounds fresh burned stone lime,
eight pounds sulphur and so gallons
water.
The lime is started shaking with
hot water, then the sulphur is added
and as soon as the shaking Is COM
pleted cold water is put In to check
the cooking and the mixture Is d.
luted to so gallons. Properly pre-
pared, this is very effective, says a
writer in the Farm and Home, but
much trouble has been caused by al
lowing it to cook too long, which re-
suits in more or less scorching Of the
leaves.
The first application is made when
the shucks drop from the little
peaches and at this spraying two
pounds arsenate of lead may be used
with each so gallons to control the
curculio. The second spraying is
made three or four weeks later and
the third and final application a

Satisfied with the result of the Grand

club of France has already decided to
hold another big race next year. IA
in the case of the 1897 Grand Prix at
pieppe. 1t will be run under fuel
consumption basis, the allowance being
20 alters per 100 kilometers. being at
the rate of 14.i miles to the gallon.
A minimum weight of 1853 pounds
is imposed, and a maximum of 22o4
pounds with tanks empty and no spares

be about $50 miles. TO be covered In
one day. There will be no limit to the
number of cars that may he entered

will be $500.

not be held.
With a-ptew to making the-Eaee

ing board has decided To run an a
course of twenty-eight to thirfy-etEht
miles ROUND, compared with course

been asked for, I being stipulated that
the center OF the course must not be

criticism IN technical quarters. The
main advantage Is that It will cause
very close attention to be paid TO car
buretors and fuel economy. and with

this Is a valuable feature
Against this must be set the add

the race and the element of chance
which is admitted by reason OF slight

The experience OF 1907 was conciu-
sive on these two points. Measuring
the gasoline of uniform SPECIFIC
gravity to all the racing cars was
delicate operation. and In the race
itself IL WAS found that there were
cars with a consumption rate rather
too high, and others with eensaHp-
ton rate rather too low. The French,
indeed, are convinced that they lost

though owners and drivers Of wagons

~ think every man who has driven
a motor car at night, either in town

statement that every wagon, every
carriage, should have tall light at

can be seen from the front would

without carrying light that could
be seen from the rear, and ia ar
range one that could be seen from
the front, too. Men and women who
drive carriages at night don't seem
to realize the peril they court by not
carrying lights.
"In the cities particularly many
motorists drive with only the dash

by pedestrians and others, but they
are not strong enough to illuminate
