gene with the relics of an ancient day, dropped
into the limbo Of highnecked nightgowns side

seashore this season. and, furthermore, there's
no such word as bathing suit'-it's bathing
costume" consisting Of frock, pantalettes or
breeches, shoes and stockings jacket cape,
parasol, pillow and two hats. For when lady
isn't actually in the water she really must
make a presentabe appearance And 1t has
long been apparent that something must be
done about the bathing suit question.
Well, it has been done. and Palm Beach and
Coronado are seeing sights they never saw be-
fore, and the ladies taking an interest IN
bathing they never took before. That's the
way with sports: the clothes make the game
See what silk sweaters and white corduroy did

the costumes are so wondrous one would never

FRUIT GROWERS TO MEET.
Horticultural Society to
Inspect Orchards Near Hancock.

Announcement has been made of the
summer meeting of the Maryland Hor-
ticultural Society at Hancock August
% and 80. feature of the meeting is
to be an inspection of orchards near
Hancock, in which it is stated more
than 100000 apple and peach trees are
to be found. many of them in full bear
ing.
The chief object of the summer meet
ings, it is stated, is to enable the mem
bers pot only to acquaint themselves
with the great development of horti-
culture in many parts of the state, but
also to study the methods practiced by
successful orchardists in the culture
of trees and the handling of fruit.
Members of the society and others In
terested are invited to meet in Han
cock the evening of August 20, when a
meeting is to be held in the town hall
at which number of prominent fruit
growers will speak. The following day
the visitors are to be taken in automo
biles through a number of orchards
near Hancock, as guests of the orchard
lists of the vicinity and citizens. Din
ner is to be served at l o'clock, to be
followed by a general meeting from 2
to 4 o'clock. 1t is hoped to have at the
meeting a demonstration of packing
apples and an explanation of the new
Maryland apple grading and packing
law which became effective July l.

USE OF MILK URGED
TO LOWER LIVING COST
Authorities Point Economies to Be
Effected by Free Use Of Milk
in General Diet.

That noticeable reduction of the cost
of living, as well as benefit to the gen.
eral health and we'll being of the fam
lily, would follow the freer use of
milk as an article of diet is the asser-
tion of food authorities interested in
the cost of living problem. Milk con-
tains more than per cent of proteids.
it is pointed out, these being the flesh
building elements of food. Fat to the
amount of about per cent is found
in good milk, which also contains
about per cent Of suger, the fats
and sugar being the heat and energy
producing elements.
While an adult would have to con-
sumo about five quarts of milk day
if it were made the sole diet, 1t is
pointed out that the use of milk as an
adjunct to the regular diet results in
benefit to health as well as reduction
in quantities of other and more ex-
pensive foods. Farmers Bulletin Alb
of the Department of Agriculture. writ
ten by Caroline l.. Hunt, gives sample
menus for breakfast. suncheon and
dinner for a family consisting of
father. mother. boy of fifteen and girl
Of twelve. One of the menus is called
milkless, while the other provides for
the liberal use of milk, and figures are
given SHO Wig LH-l tiit duuIlloH VI
three quarts of milk to the latter
menu, taking the place of more costly
foods, brings about saving of about
25 cents day while in no wise lower
ing the food value.

apples or pears. berries and others).
in soups. gravies. custard. junist and
other puddings. and may be used in
place of water in cooking cereals"
In regard to the food value of milk
the following statement is made: Be
sides all this nohrishment. milk con-
tains a very small amount of sub
stance or substances now thought to
help the body of the child make good
use of other foods, for this reason milk

Lettuce may be grown during the
entire summer, provided one. takes
care to SOW only good, quick maturing
sorts. If cold frame is available
lettuce may be had in perfection the
year around 1t may be grown in the
open, between rows of cabbage, cauli-

failing supply. The plants come on
more quickly in rich, light soil. al
though clover ground is good: and also
retards the tendency of the lettuce to
run to seed. 1t is better to sow in
thin rows than to mix the seed with
dry sand as some advise. Do not cover
the seed deeply. and as the plants come
later to twelve inches apart in the
rows. This, of course. refers to head
lettuce. For late summer sowings a
good plan is to mark the ground in
squares foot each way and sow sew
eral seeds at each intersection. When
the plapts come uD remove all but the
strongest. Head lettuce may be
blanched in the same manner as recon-
mended IN tniS column Tor endlVe, ana
the result will be much finer, crisper
and tenderer heads.
Fashions in yards change nowadays
along with fashions in gowns, hats

corners of the yard or in places where

part is removed a great deal of plant
food is left in the roots.
Good crop insurance" is the use of
acclimated seeds If it is possible to OBJ

Although the summer Is well ad-
vanced, it is not too late to SOW a
variety of kitchen vegetables for late
summer and fall use. Too many per-
sons seem to have the idea that after
the regular garden is planted no 1ur--

market gardeners made this mistake
there would be few fresh vegetables
after midsummer.

Value of the Trap Nest.

It is in this work that the full i'm
portance of trap-nesting is appreci-
ated, as 1t gives the operator positive
knowledge regarding the parentage of
the young bird.
To those who are striving for show
birds the trap nest is a guide for fu-
ture matings, especially regarding
shape and color. To those who want
large yields of perfect eggs it gives
the opportunity of confining the selec-
tions to birds that have ancestors
with large egg records and other egg
producing characteristics.
Only those cockerels that show de-
cfded masculine appearance should be
considered. They should be of mod
crate size, possess Widespread feet,
strong legs of medium length, placed
wide apart. He should have a broad,
fiat head and a bright. protruding eye,
that gives the appearance of alert
ness. The back should be broad and
long and the body deep, with a full
broad, rounded breast. All that do
not measure up to this standard
should be placed in small yards and
prepared for market.
Where there are a number of cock
erels that measure up to- the standard

Marketing Surplus Cockerels.

There are numerous methods of mar
keting the surplus cockerels. but much
depends upon the equipment and re-
sources of the operator The easiest
method is to keep them penned up for a
few days, giving them plenty of soft
mash food, and keeping fresh clean
water before them at all times, after
which they may be shipped to market
alive. Thus the expense of feeding is
cut off and all the labor of killing
and dressing is avoided.
Soft roasters are always in demand
at good market prices, but it requires
from ten to twelve weeks to get the

Value Of Old Breeders.


No poultryman should dispose of his
breeders merely on account of their
age alone until they are at least three
years old. and then only those that
have shown indications of breaking
down. No matter how small the flock,
a few thoroughly seasoned breeders of
known producing characteristics should
be retained. The great expense incl
dent to poultry keeping is the renewal
of the focks, and from practical
business Standpoint the cost of these
renewals should be kept at minimum.
With careful culling and marketing
only those hens that failed to measure
up to the standards as producers
should be marketed, and if this idea is
followed there will be greater profits
in the poultry industry. 1t is not a
difficult matter to determine which in
dividuals have been poor producers
hose that are demonstrating their feed
ana giving little or no returns. These
birds should be disposed of as soon
as possible, no matter at what season,
for the longer they are retained the
greater the loss.
Now that the young pullets are ready
to take their places in the laying
f1ocks these, too, should be rigidly
cu1led. and only those retained that
show evidence of maturing into sturdy,
vigorous hens. All disproportionate,
narrow breasted pullets should be
prepared for market
In getting these birds ready for mar
ket they should be divided according
to their condition. Fat hens are ready
at once. and will bring good prices as
stewing fowls. If they are old and in
poor condition they had better be
marketed alive at so much per head.
Pullets that are off in condition but
healthy and growing, may be placed
in yards or allowed free range with
the cockerels and fitted for market at
the same time.
