Chinese effects are marvelously popular, and the little brocade coat shown here is a modified design of the popular Chinese coat. Silk bro cade is the material used, the collar being faced with plain material, while the quaint little sash is of Ians- downe, to match the material in the draped skirt.

Farmer Want Ads. One Cent a Word.
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1913-04-09

These onions are not uniform in size
but the quality is excellent. Some
growers assert their punches, put
tina some small ones in with the
big fellows for the convenience of
the housewife.
SNAP does not hurt them except to
retard growth and we find that the
sets must be placed in the ground
and pushed along for the market at
the earliest possible date to meet
the drst demands, which, before town
gardens begin to bear, are brisk.
Our onions are placed on the
market as soon as the bulbs begin
to show slightly rounded bottoms and
our customers prefer them at that
STAG rather than when the bottoms
are nicely rounded and the onion
flavor more pronounced. The extreme
tips Of the bunch only are clipped to
give a heater appearance and they
are tied well down onto the tops that
the string may not cut into the tender
white part.
AS our orders are usually sent in
the day before, the onions are pulled
in the evening and left standing bot
TOMS down in tubs Of water over
night. The water loosens the rotten
outside skins, which may be easily
slipped down and the roots clipped
(not too closely or the cut ends will
curl back with stout sharp knife.
The soaking over night is valuable
labor-saver especially when large or
ders must be delivered for the early
morning trade.
Our onions are sent to market in
lots of dozen punches each, wrap
ped in plain wrapping paper and tied
loosely with stout cord, to prevent
dust from settling on them in tran
sit. The yellow Danvers variety is
our favorite for green onions, be-
cause OF their quick and uniform
growth, fresh white color and mild
favor.
PROFESSIONALLY it pays to be parti-
cular when preparing vegetables for
market for those of the freshest and
neatest appearance are always sought
for while the careless peddler, who
brings In half cleaned, uneven
lunches sometimes none to fresh
and covered with dust, has some to
take back.

Lost An Eve

While repairing piece of machinery
at the hide house last Thursday Harry
Debuke was struck by piece of steel
which flew from nut which he was
hammering. 1t struck him in the right
eye, inf1icting painful wound. DR..
Leach was summoned and that night he
took the young man to Montreal. On
Friday an X-Ray was used and it showed
piece of steel about an eighth of an inch
in size, well back in the eye, which was
badly laccrated. The piece was pointed
at both ends. Further investigation
showed that it would be impossible to
save the eye and so it was removed. The
wound is doing nicely, and it is expected
the young man will ONE home Thursday.

Destruction of Rats.

There are three methods which may
be employed in the destruction OF
rats: ID Hunting, (2) trapping, (9)
the use OF poison or rat virus. There
is not much to be said about the first
Of these methods. Most residents in
the country are acquainted with the
rafting instinct of terriers, and with
the employment of ferrets and a
knowledge of the practice can better
be obtained by experience than by
description. AS regard traps, the
spring trap which kills the rat at once
when the spring is released is the
best. Another good kind is the wire
trap, on the eel basket principle,
which the rat can enter easily when
attracted by the bait, but cannot
leave.

Thouuht Wins.

A sound body is essential for physi.
cal exertion, but it should be accom-
panied by a well-disciplined mind in
order to attain the best results in any
profession, business or sport. A New
England college president is endeav'
oring to stimulate mental activity
among his students for the purpose OF
making them better equipped for their
future calling. This educators belief
is that the best way to make an ath.
lete is to teach him first to think, and
that the best way to make a good man
is to train his mind so neither he nor
another can make the worse appear to
him the better reason.
Intellectual attachments are neces
sary in every calling. The student
who neglects his opportunities to de
velop his mental powers is very fool
ish, for when he goes out into the
world to earn livelihood he will find
that the thinking man is the one who
gets ahead. On the sporting fields the
clear thinking athlete is the most sue
cessful, easily outstripping his slower
comrades. Whatever is worth doing
at all is worth doing well, and the
thinking student soon learns to be
thorough in all his efforts.
