MARKETING OF FARM CROPS
Independent Action on Part of Farmer Means Wide Variation in Types
 of Packages and Grades.

(By PROF. L. c. CoRBETT. Horticul-
 turist. United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 The system of independent action, so far as it applies to the marketing of vegetable crops, is open to the fol lowing criticism:
 Independent action means wide va riation in types of packages. as is exemplified in our markets at the present time.
 Packages of all sizes and descrip- tions are received in the markets from various districts, so that quotation on basket, hamper, or eontainer in one market may mean little in an other section.
 The packing of the product is done according to the ideas of the individ ual directing the work; the grades are founded upon his personal notion of what constitutes first, second. or third grade. judged by the product he himself handles and not by any mar. ket standard
 Shipments are, for the most part, by local freight or express. Some times a grower Is able to load a few cars from his field, but this is the ex- eeption rather than the rule. The re- suit Is that any brand which he may adopt appears in the market at un- certain intervals. remains but a short time, and disappears until the sue ceeding year It is very difficult un- der such conditions to build up rep utation for ones product and to es- tablish standing for a brand or style of package which will serve to assist in the sale of the crop the fol lowing year.

Valuable Neiuhbors

While usually costing nothing. good neighbors are quite valuable to the average farmer; broad-minded, indus trious neighbors who are willing to cooperate in any worthy cause; real izing that the tendency of the times is gradually toward cooperation. In every state many such people are to be found. and they are the ones to whom much of the progress of the present day is due.

Protect Stock From Flies.

Relief from attacks by flies may be brought to live stock on the farm by the use of sprays. The following spray is suggested by F. L. Washburn, entomologist of the Minnesota college of agriculture:
 Three parts of fish oil and one part kerosene.
 The spraying is best done with a knapsack sprayer, and it takes only two or three minutes to spray steer or horse The spray appears to keep of all flies for two days.

ChiIIjnu Your Fudue.

You will never again make fudge and similar candies i'll the old way taking from the fire and beating till cold-if you try ,his way once. Take the candy from the fire when the soft ball stage is reached place the pot in a large one containing cold water, then stir till firm. It will be creamier, and less granular, than you ever had. A chemist tells me that is because the contact of the pot with the cold wa ter immediately arrests erystalliza. tion. It may also be that the motion of stirring. rather than beating, tends to prevent granulating. At all events. chill your candy in the cold water Good Housekeeping Magazine.

top edge of the lace down about an inch and half, to form a standing rutiie. When this flounce has been set about the waist. small chiffon roses in light pink, blue and yellow with pale green chiffon leaves, are to be set over it in row, with one color fol- lowing another. These roses are inn portant and the negligee would lose character without them.
 A width of three or four inches is cut from the top of a length of lace to form the rufIle for the neck and front of the body. The remainder of this length will make the ruffies that are set on to the ends of the sleeves. The narrow, standing ruffle makes heading and a single chiffon rose in pink. with it's little, pale green leaves. is set at the top of each ruffie against the net
 The negligee is worn with a cap to match. It has a small lace plaque at the center of the crown. A puff of crepe is gathered to this and edged with lace. It is drawn up about the face on an elastic band. A few very small chiffon roses are set with bows Of narrow satin ribbon in the flounce Of lace that falls about the face.

The Farmer.

With the increase in the crops there has been an increase in prices Just as the farmers have learned how to make two grains grow where one grew before, the manufacturers have discovered new uses for their prod ucts.
 In the end the prosperity of the country all comes down to the crops. Banker, broker, merchant every man in close touch with business cor ditfons-takes of his hat, verbally, at least, to the great American farmer.

A myriad of spider webs glowing in all the colors of the rainbow, just as when the early morning sun strikes the colors from the dew! And it Is done from one yarn variegated in hue like the yarns which the children use for the horse lines which they knit on the little red spools. The crochet it. self is done in very loose, weblike stitch, which so arranges itself to the different colors of the yarn as they come in turn that the effect is that of many different eolored webs strung

Turnentine for Worms.

An old-time breeder writes to a hog paper that whenever there are intes. tinal worms suspected in the pigs by their cough or their skins are dry. hard and scurvy and ofttimes the worms are found in their droppings. he mixes turpentine in the slop ra- ton, at the rate of one teaspoonful to each 100 pounds of live weight. and finds it an effective remedy. This is simple and cheap and certain.

small tucks These are to be replaced. as the cold weather comes on, by gowns of canton flannel, made long.
 The small boys pajamas hardly need description. They are made of light cotton materials. The pants ara fastened at the waist with a tape which is run through hem in the top. They are as plain as can be and so is the coat. This is usually bound with braid and provided with a pock- ct at one side. The same pattern IS used for the canton flannel paJamas used in cold weather.
 For the comfort of little ones who sleep in cold rooms and are liable to kick their feet from under cover, bed shoes of canton flannel or of cider down are recommended They are easily made and easily laundered and they are most comforting.
 There are numbers of patterns for little nightdresses-the simplest ones are the best. For the little boy, pa iamas. like those shown in the pie ture, cannot be improved upon.
