were then required to write menu
or a recipe from the list OF articles
on that paper. When all had finished
they were read aloud. and the one
whose menu received the most votes
as being the best was awarded the
budget Of recipes which had been
brought by the guests. They were
on uniform sheets, and the hostess
slipped them In a pretty portfolio

l LOCATING Farm Land.

The prospective farmer can usually
get information about the lands in any
OF the states by addressing the state
commissioner Of immigration and agri-
culture at the state capital. Several
of the eastern states maintain list
of farms for sale. and this list usu-
ally gives q good deal Of information
about various farms. One can also
secure good deal Of information by
addressing request to the Industrial
department Of any Of the large rail-
road corporations. The prospective
purchaser, however, is strongly urged
not to buy land without seeing it and
making inquiries amongst neighbor-
ing farmers. q

RETAIN THE SOIL MOISTURE.
Conservation Of Water 10 Quite I'm
portant Factor In Growing Large
l2H Crops Of the Small Fruits.

,$ Conservation Of soil moisture re-
gard as the most important of all the
factors having to do with the produc-
ton Of large crops OF small fruits.
Under present methods the question Of
weeds does not concern me at all, for
in the process of ideal maintenance
tillage weed growth Is suppressed in
its infancy. The only time that weed
growth is likely to prove factor Of
any considerable consequence is dur
ing seasons of extremes in precipita-
ton and, in the case yof Strawberries,
during the blooming and fruiting sea-
sons, says a writer in the Horticul-
turist. ~.
During the first years Of my expert
ence as a grower Of strawberries !
thought that the one great purpose of
cultivation was to kill weeds. Since
that time the weed question has been
eliminated as factor OF Importance in
fruit-growing operations.
Where the dust mulch is zealously
maintained there is little chance for
weeds. A few may escape, but such
are easily disposed Of. .s,.5; l:.s} !.
The plan or methods OF culture
followed has much to do with the ease
or difficulty OF maintaining an efficient
earth mulch. That method which per
mits OF the stirring of the greatest
amount of surface with horse-drawn
tools is the methods the most to be
desired. .5S
h It is essential that this mulch be
maintained close around each indi-
vidual plant, for If this is not done the
aggregate area thus left open to sur
face evaporation is considerable.
Then, too, the moisture content of the
soil directly under the mulched sur
face is considerably reduced by capil-
larry action Of water toward the dried
soil under the unmulched surface.
Close around the plants the soil
should not be stirred to a greater
depth than one inch. One-half even
will work wonders in conserving soil
moisture. s.75s 4, Z
How frequently should cultivation
be given? This depends somewhat
upon the nature of the soil. and fire.
quency Of showers. AS rule. once
a week will be sufficient. In case OF
showers, the ground should be gone
over as soon as the soil is dry, enough
to permit Of cultivation. Where show
ers are Of daily or frequent occur
renee this rule cannot be followed. It
then becomes a question Of judgment,
with an element Of luck. perhaps. as
to which shower is to be the last.

Further Use OF Radlun,.

According to recent experiments in
Europe radium Is instrumental in pre-
venting diseases Of plants. For sew.
eral years workers In agronomic sci
ence have been experimenting upon
the effect OF radium on vegetation by
mixing radioactive substances with
the usual fertilizers. The numerous
results obtained in this work show
that most plants, either grain or how-
,er. are remarkably stimulated and
give better yield both In size and
quality, this being often seen in the
'nne and healthy color OF the green
plants or, leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease. espe-
cially diseases known as cryptogamic,
which arise from spores or mold. II
seems that radium is to act as a pre-
ventive for such diseases as wheat
rust, rotting of potatoes. grapevine
mildew and many others which cause
such detriment to agriculture.

silk leaves off and enamel begins.
The hairpins come in seven shades
