orderly manner and in such a
way to be conveniently and
quickly displayed to a customer.

what to buy and when to buy,

siderably more Importance how
much to buy. AS a consequence,
his entire stock is always kept
fresh and new, there are no shop
worn pieces or out of date styles
and nothing which has deteriated
by having lain on his shelves.
Mr.. Behn's familiarity with the
markets and the close connec-
tions which he has formed with
the leading importers and manu-

Weeds.

Weeds have been aptly defined as
plants out of their proper place. Thus,
Kentucky blue grass is a treasure in
the lawn and a weed in the adjacent
corn field We are all more or less
familiar with what we generally call
weeds-dandelion pusley, quack grass,
thistles, burdock, pigWeed, mullen,
milkweed, and many others, because
these plants are always out of place,
as far as the ordinary back yard farm
er is concerned.
xshey are easily controlled In the
flower beds, because these beds are
usually small in size, the soil is loose
and the weeds pull out easily, and if
you wait long enough your wife will
probably get disguised and pull them
herself.
In the vegetable garden, it is an en-
tire1y different proposition, however,
Here the weeds start about two laps
ahead of the earliest vegetables, hay
ing planted themselves the year be-
fore in preparation for flying start.
The soil is firm and they anchor
themselves for the season in a very
determined manner.
If we assail them early, before they
are anchored, we can win out, but they
never give up the battle and success
Is the result of constant labor. Its
really remarkable, too, how a man
grows weaker as the gardening season
progresses.
The sun gets hotter, the hoe duller,
the weeds more defiant, the soil hard
er, the mosquitoes start business
earlier and stay later, and it is only
the thought of previous labor invested
that saves most gardens about the
Fourth of July.

Wraps Made From Shawl.

The season for short evening wraps
is the psychological moment for the
woman who possesses one of the hand
some fringed Chinese crepe shawls to
get it out and have 1t made into q
stunning wrap. The priceless shawl
need not be cut to do this. All that Is
necessary is to take a loop in one
edge to form Capuchin hood or sling
drapery, and the shawl will then adj

way # it is a very large shawl, turn
down one edge several inches be-

the fringe to fall on the outer side
of the wrap, of course. A clasp OF
some sort should be set at the front,
high ON the left front, the opposite
side of the shawl being lifted to this
fastening in soft, graceful manner.

our garden weeds and attack them In
the most effective manner
After blowing and pulverizing the
ground, plant the early crops and let
the weeds get a good staFtSon the rest
Of the patch. Cut every one Off below
the ground with a sharp hoe, just be-
fore planting later crops. AS soon as
they start again cut they off again.
Those that grow from perennial root
stock, like the dandelion, should be-
pulled up.
When the vegetables come up, keep
the earth between the rows hoed at
all times, going over the garden after
each rain to break up the earth's
crust and hold the moisture in the
ground. Never let the weeds get the
start on you and it will not take half
as much work to handle your garden
this year.
Why should we keep the weeds out
Of the garden? Principally because
they steal water from heVegetables,
and water is the very life blood
Of plants. Secondly, the weeds are all
very hearty feeders and every one in
your garden is using upa considerable
proportion of the available plant food.
Remember that hoeing is good for
both the garden and you, the more
hoeing the better, and q wheel hoe or
hand cultivator Is about the best tool
that ever was made, especially in
July.

TO MARKET FARM PRODUCTS
Secretary Of Agriculture Makes Report
TO Congress on Establishment OF
Division Markets.

Systems of marketing farm products
tiers are the subjects of special re-
port to congress by the secretary of
agriculture, recently published. The
report was made by special direction
of congress in order that information
might be at hand concerning the es-
tablishment of a division of markets
in the department of agriculture. The
secretary specifies various items Of
service that could be performed by
such an Office, with recomme ndations
that they be adopted, If it is created.
The report covers 391 pages and is
crowded with information with regard
to the subjects treated. II
The report treats of the movement
of farm products from the farm to con-
sumner through great variety of chan
nels. The simplest distribution is the
direct one of delivery by farmer to
consumer, and next after this is the
delivery by individual farmers or as
sociations of farmers to individual con-
sumers or associations of consumers.
In these direct forms of distribution,
the middleman is eliminated, although
of course intermediate services are
performed either by producers or by
consumers or by both parties. ID
Among the varieties Of middlemen
concerned in the marketing of farm
products are the travelling hucksters
fer 10 Fprp ha
eggs, butter, poultry, calves. and 9th
er commodities, which they sell to
shippers, jobbers, or retail dealers.
The country merchant is often the first
receiver of such products as eggs,
farm-made butter, poultry, wool, hides,
cotton, and sometimes grain and hay.
In regions where grain is the staple
product, the tendency has been to dis
place the country merchant by the
grain buyer and the local elevator
man.
Farmers commonly sell through
commission merchants and to some ex-
tent directly to wholesale dealers and
also to retail dealers. The farmer who
employs q trustworthy commission
merchant who will handle his products
honestly and honorably will get the
current prices for them within tho
range of the commission merchants
business, but the farmer often finds
himself in the hands of commission
merchant who falsely reports that the
products were received in damaged
condition or that they were Of grade
lower than they were in fact, or ne
reports receiving prices lower than
those actually received by him for the
products. Worse than this, it is by
no means rare that the commission
merchant has sold the products and
failed to return the net proceeds.
Samples of transactions in which
only one middleman intervenes be-
tween producer and consumer include
the commission man at large mar
ket who receives consignments of live
stock from farmers and sells to pack
ers: the factor 70 whom the planter
eonsigns his rice or Gotten and from
