the members.
In an interview for the News, Mr.
Morris gave out the following facts:
I'VE are National organization
Of farmers with branches i'm thirty
states We have found by exper-
ience that it is utterly futile to or
sanizc the farmers unless we, at
the same time, give them a working
business institution. In view of this
it is our policy to induce our organ
ilati0ns everywhere ii capitalize and
incorporate under the various state
laws and become business men.

the business and prices are safe and
sane TO both producer and consum-
or This PoGatello House is the
cnter buying agency for 30 county
clearing houses.
We also handle the farm pro-
ducts of the members TO great ad-
vantage. and at the end of each
year all patrons share in our trade
dividends i'm proportion TO the COM
dities eacb has bought and sold
during 'ths yea. We also pay our
stock holders. dividends on their
stock. The association is a success
in eVeryway and we have this seas
on put UP several elevators and
warehouses. The thing that has
Tade this gigantic bus ness possible
il the fact thlt each county head
quarters is capitalized at from SlO,-
600 to $4,000 and the members are
loyal because their money is invest
ed in their own enterprise. We have
county clearing house at Molad,
idaho, which did a business of some
thing near S53i.000, i'm 1915. Another

Inside the Fur.

Many women object to the m-becom-
ingness of fur worn close against the
face. To counteract this effect one
can make very attractive white collars
to be worn just inside the fur. Some
thing on the turnover idea is in the
mind of the writer. OF course, he col
lar for this purpose should be some
what wider than the ordinary turn
overs. A very pretty collar m ght be
made with three or four poin +. By
using such pattern the intro luction
Of white would not be so prom Vunced
as 1t would be if solid strip OF white
fell over the fur collar. The points
might be finished with cn cheted
edge. Or it might be hemmed al d each
point ornamented with an embroidery
design. Do the work in white, or in
troduce the suit color on the collar If
you wish, but avoid combination Of
colors.

Custard Recipes,

Steamed or baked custard: One pint
milk, one-eighth teaspoonful nutmeg,
two eggs, one-fourth cupful sugar, one
eighth teaspoonful salt.
Mix eggs as for soft custard. Strain
into custard cups and steam until firm
over hot water which Is boiling gently.
Another way to cook this custard is
as follows: Strain into custard cups
and place in pan of warm water.
Bake In moderate oven until the
custard is firm. To test steamed or
baked custard, slip a knife blade to
the bottom of the cup in the center of
the custard and draw without turn
Ing. If the knife is not coated with a
milky substance the custard is firm all
the way through and has cooked
enough. Crate the nutmeg over the
surface Of the custard and cool before
serving.

then bake till thoroughly done. Cut

Beat in the butter, milk and seasoning,
and, when fluffy, add the egg whites.
Then refill the potato shells, smooth,

of striped plush in brown. 1t hangs
straight from shoulder to hem and
has convertible collar. Its wide belt
extends only across the front and is
finished with a single large button. By
way Of ornament nothing is allowed
except two buttons on each cuff and
two on each side of the collar.
The other coat, of heavy velour
cloth, Is long enough to cover the dress
and is shaped to define the figure
vaguely by very original and clever
management Of the belt. Belts that
fail to find their way entirely round
the figure are a fad of the season.
This one starts at each side of the
back and fastens with a button at the
front. 1t slips through slashes in the
cloth and gathers up the fullness about
the waist in this way. All the ends are
pointed and fastened down with but
tons.
Three rows of machine stitching
provide the tailored finish Of the cape
collar, cuffs, and belt, and the cuffs
are allowed an adornment of three
buttons.

RID HONE OF PEST
PRACTICAL INFORMATION ON
ERADICATION OF REDsUcs.
Simple Preparations, Applied With
Diligence. Will Do the Work, Ae-
cordIng to Bulletin of the Bu-
reau of Entomology.

Those who are troubled by bedbugs
Will find practical information as to
how to deal effectively with these pests
In Farmers Bulletin 754. "Bedbugs,"
recently published by the department.
In this bulletin G. L. Marlatt of the
bureau of entomology makes clear the
habits of these insects which have a
bearing on their eradication, and sug-
gests a number of simple household
measures, as well as more radical
methods, of getting rid of them. The
author calls attention especially to
the fact that these insects will migrate
from an unoccupied to an inhabited
house and points out that the fact that
they ordinarily hide in the daytime
makes 1t necessary to apply the insec-
ticides in cracks In walls and floor and
crevices under wall paper, where the
insects ordinarily are concealed and lay
their eggs. Information as to the
ability of bedbugs to withstand cold
and to go without food for long peri
DDS should be especially useful to those
intending to move into houses long I'M
tenanted.
OF the simpler remedies the ento-
mologist says that benzine, kerosene,
or other lighter petroleum oils intro
duced into crevices by means of a
brush or syringe are perhaps the most
efficient. The bulletin also gives di-
rections for fumigation with sulphur or
other chemicals, which will be found
economical and effective in cases of
general infestation. ~.
Those who have been bitten will find
applications Of peroxide of hydrogen
useful in allaying irritation. Tincture
of iodine, In its ordinary or double
strength, is also good counter-irritant
for use In cases of fleas, mosquitoes,
bedbugs, or other insect bites. Iodine,
however. should be used with caution
on the tender skin of small childen and
on those who are affected with or dis
posed to eczemic disorders.
The bulletin will be supplied free by
the department as long as the supply
lasts.
