women hold in their hands the
power to clear Objectionable food,

ing from the pages Of our publica-
tions," said J. B. Powell instructor in
advertising in the University of Mis-
souri, at Columbia, in a recent talk
before the Columbia Civic League.
"The annual expenditure for adver-
Using in America is estoimated at
about $500, 100000, and it is safe to
say that t~hree-fourths Of that sum is
expended primarily for women"
According to Mr.. Powell women
have much more influence on business
than men. Women do the buying for
the home, and it is the women to
whom both the article and the adver-
tisement must appeal. There has
been a great change in the attitude
of the publishers toward the class of
advertising they will accept. Both
magazines and newspapers have been
affected by this change.
Women also have a great influence
on the publishing business, Mr.. Pow
ell says. In most homes the wife de-
cides what paper comes into the
home. They have only to say what
kind Of advertising shall be accepted
in the publications which they take
and the publisher will do as they
wish

LOSS OF SEED FROM LETTING
GLOVER ROT IN THE FIELD
SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

It 10 common practice with some
farmers in Maryland who grow clover
seed to allow the clover to lie In the
field in windows or cocks for several
weeks or even months after cutting
before they stack 1t and draw 1t to
the barn for threshing. The result of
such exposure is that many seeds will
terminate or become swollen so that
even though subsequently dried they
are of no value or at best of only very
low vitality.
The clover should be allowed to be-
come thoroughly ripe. II the seeds
are not thoroughly dried in the head
when cut, and spell Of wet weather
follows many seeds may be destroyed.
The best practice is to allow the clover
to become as ripe as possible without
loss from shattering; when the seed
Is harvested. Cut It In good dry wealth
er and then cure 1t and protect from
exposure to rains, the same as hay.
II the huller can be procured at once
hulling in the field is the most eco
nomical way. If necessary to delay
the hulling, loss Of seed will be avoided
by storing the clover in the barn Or
we'll constructed stacks.

Ember DAYS.

In the Roman Catholic and the An.
glican churches the Ember days are
three days appointed four times in
the year to be observed as days of
fasting and abstinence. They are the
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after
the first Sunday in Lent, after the
feast of Pentecost, after the 14th of
September, and after the 18th of De-
cember. The Ember days date from
an early period in church history, and
were introduced into England by Au-
gustine. Originally they were only in
part devoted to beseeching the grace
Of the Holy Ghost, as periods when
ministers were admitted to holy or
ders; but 1t is to this purpose that the
Ember days are now particularly de-
voted, Roman Catholic clergy being or
dained only on the Saturdays of the
Ember days, while the whole church
fasts and prays, and generally SINH
lar usage prevails in the church of
England, which has appointed special
prayers for use at these seasons but
usually appoints ordinations for Sun
days or holy days.

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET
Poor Economy to Use SoIed Packages
CLEANLINESS Should Be Carefully
Observed at All Times.

Use clean packages. 1t is poor econ.
omy to stick to the soiled ones which
destroy the attractiveness of the fruit.
Never use defective fruit to line the
bottom of the basket. If the fruit Is
sanded or overripe, better sell it as
such, even If it is at lower price.
Aim to deliver early in the morning.
The average housewife likes to get the
fruit taken care of before noon. Be-
side, 1t carries so much better when
cool.
Cleanliness should be observed, not
only about the fruit but in the cloth
ing and person of the deiiveryman.
Fruit offered by soiled hands is at once
handicapped.
Careful handling through the entire
process is an essential. The careless
driver who rattlcs over stones or
through ruts, who jams his crates into
the rig, acquires reputation for de.
livering jam
Fill orders promptly and exactly, If
you would hold your trade. The wom-
an who contracts for fruit to complete
the dessert in a dinner for company
or who wishes to do her canning at
a stated time is not always quick to
forget negligence along this line,
A customer once made should be
made for the years to come; not only
as a buyer of small fruit, but of other
produce. A reputation for excellence
of products, punctuality, reasonable
rates, and strict integrity in the entire
transaction holds trade when once
gained.

START FOR STRAWBERRY BED
Medium Loan That Is Deep and Re.
tentIve of Moisture, Yet Well.
Drained, Gives Best Results.
(By F, II. HALL.)


In selecting land for strawberry
growing. avoid very sandy as well as
very heavy and poorly drained soil.
A medium loan that Is deep and re-
tentive of moisture, yet well drained,
will give best results. Sand soil with
a southern exposure will produce an
early crop, but is usually lacking In
moisture when most needed, therefore
requiring special attention in the way
Of irrigation and mulching.
Cool heavy soil with northern ex-
posture should be selected If late
crop Is desired. Low land, if we'll
drained, may be used Sod land is not
desirable for two reasons. First, be-
cause Of its poor physical condition,
and second, danger Of damage by the
white grub, which is usually abundant
on sod land and very destructive in a
newly set strawberry field.
Land that has been planted to hoed
crops, to which liberal annual applica-
tons of stable manure have been APP
piled for one or more years and kept
free from weed seeds by frequent Gull
tivations, may be considered as well

FOUNDATION FOR GOOD ROAD
First Thing Road Builder Should
Strive For Is to Have Ground
work Good and Solid.

(By F.. w. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural
College)
The good roads movement In Colo
RADIO seems now to have acquired full
swing and the next ten years will see
most of our important roads surfaced
with gravel. 1t is important that this
gravel be placed upon a good founda'
ton or 1t will be mixed with the clay
and lost.
Some time ago an important road
was being surfaced and those IN
charge were blowing up the old road,
which was very hard, the Jumps were
being broken as much as possible
then the road was given light roll
ing, wet thoroughly and the gravel
then spread and rolled. When asked
why they were putting the gravel on
the soft mud foundation, the reply
came. $50 that it will knit we'll with
the clay" This is exactly what should
be guarded against as much as posi-
BILE and is the very thing road builders
should seek to avoid.
Let us remember that gravel will
knit or mix with the clay below IN
spite of all we can do, but the harder
the clay foundation surface is and the
frmer it is compacted, the longer Will
the gravel stay on top and give
smooth wearing surface and the long
er the road will last
All authorities are agreed on this
point, and the first thing that a road
builder should strive for is to have his
earth foundation solid and hard and
the drainage so fixed that it will re-

HOW TO RAISE ORPHAN COLTS
Foal May Be Raised on Cows MIX In
Case Of Accldent-Attendant Must
Be Patient.

Wy w. 8. ALEXANDER. Wisconsin En-
pertinent Station)
In case the mare dies or has no
milk the foal may be raised on cows
milk, II the attendant conducts the
work patiently and intelligently.
Choose the milk of cow that has
recently calved, preferably one which
gives milk low in butterfat. as mares
milk, while rich in sugar, is poor in
fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses
or sugar and dilute with warm water
Give little of this prepared milk at
short intervals from a scalded nurs-
ing bottle and large rubber nipple. BE
careful to keep the bottle and nipple
scrupulously clean. Add an ounce OF
lime water to each pint Of the pre-
pared milk and allow half cupful
once an hour at first.
As the foal grows. gradually in
crease the amount of milk fed and
lengthen the intervals between meals
In q few days food may be given six
times q day and, later, four times
daily. The foal will soon learn to
drink from a pail, If allowed to suck
the attendants fingers at first.
Until the bowels move freely give
rectal injections night and morning.
II the foal scours at any time give
two to four tablespoonful Of a mix
ture of sweet oil and pure castor oil
shaken up in milk, and stop feeding
milk for two or three meals, allowing
sweetened warm water and lime wa
ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal
as soon as 1t will eat and gradually
increase the amount and add wheat
bran. In five or six weeks some
sweet skim milk may be given and the
amount gradually increased daily un-
til, in three months or so, 1t may be
given freely three times a day in

spRAy poTAToEs FOR THE LATE
BLIGHT.

G. e. TEMPLE.
Maryland Agricultural College Exten'
sion Service.
This is the time Of the year to keep
pn the watch for the late blight OF po-
tatoes. A great many growers make IT
1 regular practice to spray their late
potatoes four or hve times with Bor-
deaux Mixture, but there are many VINO
never spray. The nrst application
should be made when the plants are
about six inches high. This should Do
repeated about every ten days during
the growing season.
The Fungus which causes the late
blight attacks the margins OF the
leaves first. then 1t spreads rapidly
over the leaves into the stem and then
into the tubers. The diseased parts
turn black and give of characteristic
odor. This disease spreads most rapid.
ly during cool, wet weather. II this
kind of weather prevails for several
days in regions where the late blight
is known to exist. an epidemic may re-
suit with total loss Of the crop. 1t
should be remembered in this connec.
ton, that the potatoes produced from
diseased plants usually decay in stor.

HOGS SUBJECT TO DISEASES
Mango 10 Difficult to Eradicate BE.
cause Of the Burrowino Habit
of the Parasites.

(By NJ H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Hogs are subject to a variety OF
skin diseases. Two of these, although
quite different, are both known as
mango.
Pitch mango Is not true mango,
but rather an eczema, and affects hogs
that are not In vigorous health and
when kept in filthy pens and bad sur.
roundings. .Light-skinned hogs appear
somewhat more susceptible to this
than others. The skin is at first red
ana perhaps swollen. Small red spots
appear and subsequently change to
blisters, which dry and form crusts.
The main treatment needed Is simple
cleanliness and the sort Of feed that
Will make the hog healthy and vigor-
Gus 1t usually means complete
change of surroundings and plenty OF
good food.
Hogs are subject also to true mango.
This is caused by minute animal
parasite which burrows into the skin
like the human itch mite and causes
severe Inflammation and itching. This
form of mango is especially difficult
to treat because of the burrowing
habit OF the parasite. Mango begins
somewhere on the head or neck and
extends slowly backward. The hams
are likely to be affected sooner or
later. The bristles fall out and the
skin becomes very thick and wrinkled.
Sometimes 1t Is thickened to an as
tonishing extent. Hog mango Is Pc
culiar on account of the powderlike
surface OF the crust.
