PRODUCE FOR MARKET
Several important Points in
Proper Preparation.
Farmer Never Loses by Honestly
Packed Farm Truck-Each Pack
age Should Be Filled With the
Same Grade Throughout.
CBy s. B. SHAw.)

Packing is equally as important as
any of the other operations involved
in the preparation of fruits and vege-
tables for market. There are several
important points In connection with
this work worthy of consideration,
probably the most important of which
is honesty. Every growers pack
should be as good as his bond" Gus
toners want honestly packed goods
and they are usually willing to pay
good prices for them. A grower lever
loses by placing honestly packed pro-
duce on any market, be it at home or
abroad.
Each package should be filed with
the same grade throughout. If this
is done the top may be faced" Fac
ing" is the arrangement of from one
to three layers of fruit on the top, thus
increasing the attractiveness of the
package. This is an honest and per-
fectly legitimate practice provided the
entire contents are fruits of the same
grade as those placed on top. Sec

New TRIMMINGS,

AS the eye steadies down sufficient
ly to take in the detail of the seasons
fashions it is impossible not to be
struck by the wealth of new trimmings
and revivals. Of the latter is a coarse
macrame lace, frequently dyed to
tone with the gown it adorns. An
afternoon dress of rose crepe chiffon
had a broad line Of this lace set in
round the skirt, while the lower half
of h little bodice was fashioned of
it, the front followed out in a long
oval and filled in with a guimpe of
ivory net that was just eased into a
tiny Bleeding at the base of the throat,
a row of minute black velvet buttons
punctuating the center, and at the
base there was poised a spreading bow
of black ribbon velvet.

BABY ONE MASS OF PIMPLES

Treichlers, Pa.-"When my baby boy
was a week old small red pimples ap-
peared on his forehead. A couple of
days later his face, chest and back
were just one mass of pimples. The
pimples looked something like prickly
heat. They became yellow and start
ed to get crusty-like. He was very
cross and fretful and he lost his rest
at night. l also lost my rest and sat
up whole nights. He acted as if they
were itchy. l didn't know what to do
and he was getting worse. 1t caused
Disagreement and some people said
it would leave scars.
Il started to use the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment according to directions.
He vas affected about two weeks be-
fore l used them. From that time on
he rested just as good as any child
can rest. When l had used the Cutt-
cura Soap and Ointment a few days
the dead skin came off. In a weeks
time his skin was as clear as any
body's and there is not a seal on his
whole body" (Signed) Mrs. VIM. 8.

NEW IDEA FOR FANCY WORK
Comes From England, and Is Likely
Very Soon to Become Popular
on This Side.

A new notion in painting or in
fancy work, as you will, comes from
England. 1t Is called pen painting
because of the process involved. By
this process a special kind of oil
paint is applied to fabrics, and on
gowns produces an entirely different
effect from the hitherto seen stencil
work.
On fans, particularly of gauze, the
result is very pretty. This seems the
best Of the suggestions given for it,
though picture frames and book COW
ers are done by the same method.
Book covers of satin might be sue
cessfully decorated in this way for
special occasions; that is, presenta-
ton books, books for the bride, etc.
In applying the paint a pen point is
used to pick up the small, previously
divided particles of prepared paint and
to place them on the satin. A COM
plete outfit for the work costs $3.50.
The colors are two dollars a dozen,
The Penn's Grove record., 1913-08-01

there are very few wires, in fact the
fewest number possible to hold the
shape of the hat.
1t is in the management of the veil
that the designers find exercise for
their variety of ideas. They are using
hemstitched chiffon, either wire or
narrow, and in lengths varying from
~ to three yards. Nearly all these
wells are attached to the hat at the
back OF across the front or all around
by a band of trimming which is placed
where the brim and crown join.
Small elastic cords are run in some
of the wells, gathering them loosely
about the neck. The veil is fastened
at the back with a hook and eye.
Longer wells are brought over the
face and about the neck and tied in
a loose knot. Wide wells, falling from
the brim of the hat, are split up from
the bottom to half the width of the
veil. The split is finished with a
narrow hem. Each half of the veil
is brought to the back of the neck,
where the ends cross and are brought
to the front and tied in a loose knot
either directly in front or to one side.
Vivid colors are in great demand.

The new mohair dust coats have

Plaid silks are increasing in favor,
especially clan colorings.
Poplins, both plain and figured, are

Summer hats are made of maline,

A great many blouses of white mes

Virtue of Disingenuousness.

In a school I once attended the
mos popular girl was the most tactfuI
one As far as I know only one girl
disliked her. That girl was spiteSuI,
cross and therefore not very well
liked. Do you know what she used
to call our idol? A hypocrite. The
word bothered me not a little, and I
spoke to my chum about it, but she
answered me in her thoughtful little
way:
Well I guess that maybe Betty is
a nypocrite, if being a hypocrite
means saying little kind things based
on small p~retexts and leaving unsaid
the unkind things no matter how good
a reason there is for saying them;
but she's a mighty comfortable per-
son to have around. l wish that the
world was full of such hypoo-ites,"-

RIGHT LOVE AGE is FORTY
Statement of Woman Who Renounces
a Fortune to Wed Man
of Choice.

Mianeapolis.-Forty is the age to
love.
That is what Mrs. Walter F. Morri-
son Of Chicago thinks. She has CIV
en- up an estate said to be worth $780,
900 for the sake of marrying R. F.
Fletcher of Columbus, O., and has
this to say about her choice:
THE woman of forty has just found
out how to love.
There is nothing in the world so
important to a woman's happiness as
love. A mar and woman of middle
age know how to wag the world, in
stead of letting the world wag them"
Mr.. Fletcher is equally as enthusiast
tic. He says:
Il have known Mrs. Fletcher since
she was a girl and l was a boy. She
was just as nice then as she is now.
We didn't happen to marry then. But
we are married now. That's one ]

Poorly Packed Potatoes and Cabbage
Packed Too Loosely.

mems. There is neither cash or
character IL this practice" A few sec
onds Or enlls scattered in with a lot
of fancy specimens gives the buyer
an opportunity to discriminate against
the whole package and ruias the rep
utation of the grower as an honest
packer.
Produce should be cool and dry be-
fore being packed. Heat and moisture
promote decay. Conditions of this
kind should be guarded against, for
decay ear loss. Allow all fruit and
vegetables to cool in the packing
house, and have them dry before pack
ing. They will keep longer and pre-
sent a better appearance at the time
of sale if handled IN this way. So
much of the success in marketing
farm products depends upon the pack
ing, that growers cannot be too par
ticular in seeing that this work is
done in such a way as to show their
produce to best advantage when put
on sale. While it is of the utmost i'm
portance that each package be filed
with the same grade throughout, it is
equally as important that it be done
carefully. With the softer varieties of
fruit and vegetables, such as peaches,
plums, tomatoes and egg plant, that
are usually put in small packages,
each specimen should be placed by
hand. This not only makes the pack
more attractive, but it lessons the liza
bility of damages resulting from
bruises. Produce of a firm nature, as
apples, potatoes, etc, will not bruise
so readily, and as a result. it is not
so necessary to haH:!a each individual
specimen in packing.
