John Lime has installed an electric
bread moulding machine at his bakery.
The machine moulds loaf weighing
sixteen ounces and turns them out
about as fast as two men can carry
them to the oven. In addition to this
new devise Mr.. Lime has added a
fresh coat of white paint to the bake
room walls and the oven. Since the
sudden rise in wheat prices Mr.. Lime
finds -four awaiting at such attitudes
that he is considering the
advisabiIity of disseminating the
nickle loaf. Bakers in some of the
larger cities have already felt the
necessity of doing this.

Frank Hays has lost several pounds
of weight and is not as handsome as
he was three weeks ago. He blames
the weather man and the fellows who
caused him so much overwork at the
restaurant where he has attended to
night management and incidentally
got his hand in with the chef and took
orders with the dining room girls.
Roasting over the kitchen range all
night, he thinks, isn't so bad as to
roast in bed while trying to sleep
during the daytime. The trials and
tribulations Incidental to conducting
a popular cafe have been greatly in
creased the past several weeks because
of the increase in the transient trade
and the shortage of competent help,
and Mr.. Hays was forced to assume
the roll of general utility man.

deducted-was only $24O. while on
farms Of owe 16O acres the average
was $1,575. From these and other fig
ures which convey the same lesson.
the investigators concluded that the
small farm, carrying on a general
farming business, labors under a fixed
ha .dicap that is inherent in its size.
This relation Of the size Of the
farm to the opportunity for profit is
declared in the bulletin already men,
toned to be of vital interest because
of the notion which SO widely pre-
walls that the ideal of American agri-
culture is the small farm. Numerous
real estate promotion schemes are
based on this idea. 1t Is a distinct
fallacy. Very small farms are diff
cult to make successful anywhere, and
it is only the exceptional man who
is equal to the task. They must al
ways be devoted to the most intensive
types Of farming, and the products
of most kinds of intensive farming
tiuctuate greatly in volume and price.
SO that the business is very insecure.
The danger is greatly magniied If
the small farm is situated a long dis
lance from market, for prices for their
products do not have to fall very far
until the transportation charges wipe
out all profits. Even in the vicinity
of the markets these small farms
succeed only in localities where
they have distinct advantages for
the particular type of farming which
they follow"

Party gowns are not given over TO
artlessness and simplicity these days.
Keen-minded creators Of styles turn
loose a playful fancy when they view
them. Therefore gay frocks, made for
the frivolous hours of their wearers,
embody any amount of elaboration in
their construction and trimming.
But the bodice is no longer a thing
of shreds and patches. amounting to
nothing much above the waist. 1t
comes in for as much attention as the
skirt. For several easons the result
brings home the fact that beauty is
quite as beautiful when clothed as
when merely adorned.
Nets and laces. crepes and chiffons,
posed over more nets and laces, or
over foundations of chiffon taffeta or
satin, provide the mediums for work.

DISORDERS OF THE
FAITHFUL DAIRY cow
Treatment Of Noninfectious Gar
get Is Simple
Form Is Hard to Cure.

(By F. B. HADLEY, Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture.)
Garget makes an appearance every
once in a while in cow which appar.
emily are in perfect health. The milk
in severe cases, is either stringy or
otherwise altered in character when
drawn and collects a yellowish-colored
sediment on standing. In less pro-
nounced cases there may be little Wis.
ible change in the milk, but an exami-
nation would reveal a large number Of
germs.
Noninfectious garget is caused by
bruises or other injuries, or by q sud-
as frequently occurs in heavy mixers
and in heifers at first calving. Al
fected animals usually make a COM
plete recovery il given and q half
pounds Of epson salts and their feed
is restricted to that of q s%ucculent ma
ture.
The cause of infectious garget is a
germ OF germs. When many of them
are present in the udder not only is
the milk changed as mentioned above,
but the udder itself becomes hot and
sensitive to the touch.
The importance Of the infectious
form Of garget rests in the fact that
it is usually not easily cured and has
q tendency to recur. Furthermore the
disease is easily conveyed to healthy
COWS through the medium of the milk.
er's hands or contaminated material
Of any kind. unless precautions are
taken to avoid the transfer Of the
germs.
Temporary relief may be given by
bathing the udder with hot water for
one-half hour each morning and ave-
ming. After thoroughly drying the sur.
face of the udder warm cottonseed oil
should be rubbed in with the palm OF
the hand.
A complete cure is possible in most
cases only by drying the COW off at
once so that her system may be free
to fight the disease-producing germs
that are present in the udder.

CANDY ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN
It 10 Not Considered Good Form to
Partake of Sweets on Street.
Children Observe Rule.

But with all that. they have their
niceties about eating, Homer Croy
writes of the Japanese in Leslie's. One
days as | was going along the street
| saw a candy man sitting on a stool
beside his cart f%ashioning delicacies
with his two flying thumbs. Taking a
ball of candy mixture he would give 1t
a few pinches. a twist. dab on a red
spot and there would be a fish. Taking
IN another ball he would give 1t a few
twists and he would have a radish.
Half a dozen of these he would put
into a thUmb.made candy plate, the
size of a chocolate wrapper, and sell
for half a cent. Buying a plate of tiny
d%elicacies | gave it to a girl, expecting
to see her down it in good old Ameri-
can fashion, but instead of falling on 1t
greedily she made a cOurtly bow n
tore down the street as fast as her
wooden shoes would let her. I looked
after her in establishment, thinking
that this upset every child theory l
had and determined to try it again.
So | waited until the two flying
thumbs had nodded another delicacy
and proffered this to a second child.
Down the street she flew, too, her wal
nut knot of hair wobbling excitedly:
When l bought the third delicacy !
gave it to a child that vas weighted
down with a baby on her back and fol.
lowed after. while she went bobbing
down the street, the baby's head roll
ing heavily. l found her sitting on the
floor, eating the sirupy fish and candy
radishes with many delighted sucks
and %appreciative grunts. Then l un-
derstood; it was not polite to eat on
the street, but under her fathers gray
tile roof it was the height Of form to
dispose of the sweets with all tho
~gustatory gurglings that her delighted
soul wished.
