(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Directions for getting produce to the consumer fresh and undamaged.
 Asparagus.
 Asparagus should be cut often enough so that it does not become tough or overgrown. The tops should not be wet, as this starts decay, and all imperfect stalks should be culled out. It should be carefully tied up in half-pound or pound punches, with tops all even and the bottoms trimmed off square. It improves the appear ance of asparagus to wrap it in parch- ment paper.
 Beans (Snap Beans).
 Beans, whether bush or pole vari- cites, should be picked when free from rain or dew, while tender, crisp enough to snap, and before the seed is large enough to bulge the pod very much. The size of the seed will vary with the variety, but both pod and seed must be tender. Any defective, rusty, insect-eaten, discolored or undesirable beans should be kept out They should be fresh picked when shipped Only varieties which are entirely or practi- cally free from strings should be grown for parcel-post marketing
 Cabbage.
 Only perfect, hard heads of cabbage should be considered for parcel-post marketing. They should be carefully trimmed of waste leaves and stalk, and soft, growing, bursting, frozen or decaying heads must be eliminated. A variety producing small to medium sized firm heads should be selected
 CauIifloWer.
 The heads of caulflower should be very carefully handled when cut and after having been cut. In trimming, at least one circle of the large cutter leaves besides the smaller ones be- meath should be left to protect the head. Paper is sometimes placed over the head for further protection and tucked down inside the leaf stems. All heads must be compact, and any inferior, discolored, insect-damaged or otherwise defective ones should not be shipped. To be of the most desir- able eating quality, caulihower should be used by the consumer as soon after cutting as possible.
 Celery.
 Only firm, fresh, well-bleached, clean celery should be shipped. It should be washed and we'll trimmed of roots loose and diseased or discolored leaves, and stems. The stalks should be Of one length and practically uni form in size They should be freed from water as thoroughly as possible and wrapped in paper
 Cucumbers.
 For slicing. only the long, straight, smooth, green cucumbers from six to nine inches in length should be shipped. The spongy. thick, yellow, runty, or overlarge ones, or those hay ing wilted or shrunken ends, should lre culled out. The cucumbers should be cut and not pulled from the vine.

 stubble, when that can be done with out hurting other crops. Another way is to blow under the stubble deeply ar soon as the crop is off. Still another way is to SOW wheat as late as possi- ble, so that the young plants will not be above ground at the timo when the flies are laying their eggs When the Hessian fly is prevalent all volunt 1er wheat should be plCwed down. Rota- tion of crops helps to keep the fly in check. (For fuller details about the Hesslan fly, see Farmers Bulletin 640.)
 The army worm may be killed by the use of a poisoned bran bait, mado of a pound of paris green mixed with twenty pounds of wheat bran. Damp. en the mixture with water that has been sweetened with sirup-the refuse sirup from sugar mills is best-at the rate of two quarts of sirup to three gallons of water and add the juice of half dozen oranges or lemons. The mixture should be well dampened to a dough, but not enough to render it mushy. Sow the bran broadcast where the worms are feeding. The army

The new holder of the worlds seven day record for butter production bears the ponderous name of Ormsby Jane is 1509S6. By producing in seven con secutive days 721.4 pounds of milk containing 35,536 pounds of butterfat, this wonderful purebred Holstein- Friesian COW surpasses the best pre- vious record held by another Holstein, day mark in 1912, at 5S5.9 pounds of milk and 35.343 pounds of butterfat.
 The new queen is owned by Pine Grove farm, Elma Center, N. Y. She was born November 24, 1910, and her official test, just closed, was made un- der the supervision of the New York State Agricultural college, three super visors being employed.
 That the official figures may be read lily understood by the reader it is well to explain that 721.4 pounds of milk is equivalent to over 326 quarts of milk. Therefore the seven-day yield of this remarkable COW averages more than 46 quarts each day, and further more 35,5S6 pounds of butterfat, when churned, will make over A pounds of commercial butter At 35 cents per pound, the seven-day butter yield of this very profitable COW would be worth over $1550.
 While Ormsby Jane Segis Aaggies breeding is not remarkable in ultra fashionable lines, she traces to some splendid individuals of the great "black-andwhite" breed. As an indi- vidual she is nearly all white, having but four small black spots, one or the body, one on the tail and one on either ear.
 She weighs 1,5c0 pounds, has a straight back line and is well shaped enough to please the most exacting critic as to fulfilling the requirements of the ideal Holstein type. Naturally she is great feeder, consuming large quantities with apparent relish. Her ration consisted of bran, ground oats, oil meal. hominy meal, cottonseed

SELF-FEEDER GIVES
 GOOD SATISFACTION
Daily Gain of Over Two Pounds Made in Test at Nebraska
 College of Agriculture.

A daily gain of POP pounds was made by IA spring pigs in six weeks test with a self-feeder at the Nebraska College of Agriculture this winter. The cost per 100 pounds gain was s4.04. In making the gains the pigs ate 64.5 bushels of shelled corn and 300 pounds of tankage.
 The corn was charged at 63 cents a bushel and the tankage at $2.50 per hundredweight. Computing the gains on the pigs at six cents a pound, a price of S8 cents bushel was received for the corn fed.

Minor Tool Cost.

The total cost of the minor items of equipment needed on farm is much greater than the average person is wont to think. It has beer found by farms that the tools and implements actually needed on the average farm, from a wheelbarrow down to 9 husk' ing peg, cost nearly s200.

By CARL VROOMAN, 'sstant Secretary of Agriculture.

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
 A description of some of the com honest pests that corn-belt farmers have to combat is given in a section of new bulletin of the United States department of agriculture, written by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary, in order to suggest to the farmer ways of turning to financial profit scientific advice. Ill addition to describing the pest the bulletin tells of the most ef- fective ways in which the damage that they cause may be guarded against. On this subject the bulletin says in part:
 The chinch bug is black, with white wings. It winters in dead grass, piles of dead leaves and the like. Burning such rubbish during fall or early win ter, especially along fence rows and in other places where the blow does not
