inches thick. The depth of the earth
covering is determined by the sever
ity of the winters in the particular To-
cality. 1t Is we'll to cover the pits
with straw, corn fodder, or manure
during severely cold weather.
The amount of ventilation necessary
will depend upon the size Of the pit.
Small pits containing but few BUSH
els of vegetables will receive suffi-
cient ventilation IL the straw between
the vegetables and dirt Is allowed to
extend through the dirt at the apex
Of the pile. This should be covered
with board or piece of tin held in
place by stone to protect 1t from
rain. IN large pits ventilation may
be secured by placing two or three
pieces Of rough boards or stakes up
through the center of the pile Of vege-
tables SO that fiue is formed. This
flue Is capped by trough formed Of
two pieces Of board nailed together
at right angles.
Vegetables keep very well in such
pits, but 1t is difficult to get them out
In cold weather, so that when a pit
Is opened 1t Is desirable to remove its
entire contents at once. For this rea-
son 1t is advisable to construct sew
eral small pits rather than one larger
one, and instead of storing each crop
in pit by itself, 1t is better to place
small quantity Of several kinds Of
vegetables In the same pit, SO that 1t
will be necessary to open only one
bank to get a supply Of all Of them.
In storing several crops in the same
bank 1t is a good plan to separate
them with straw, leaves, or other ma
terlal. The vegetables from the small
pit may he placed temporarily In the
storage room in the basement, where
they will be easily accessible as need
ed for the table.

Filipino Embroidery Attractive.

AS 1t becomes more and more diffi-
cult to obtain large supplies of French
embroidery there is greater and great
er chance of pushing embroidery from
the Philippines. This embroidery is
really very attractive. 1t is something
like japanese embroidery, but is su-
perlor, in the opinion of those who
know both types well. More and more
of it is found In the good shops and,
therefore, 1t Is an increasingly large
feature In fashionable trousseaus and
Iayettes. There have been suggestions
that we might gather further insplra-
ton from these Pacific islands in the
way of models for women's blouses.

one with regular features could adopt
this headdress with much benefit, but
pretty girls with small and uncertain
noses would do better to copy the sec
ond style which shows narrow BAN
deau of multicolored beads drawn
round hair dressed in Julia James
fashion.
In this latter headdress the hair is
cut in fringe across the forehead and
loose curls over the ears. Artificial
waves have completely gone out of
favor and oil our best hairdressers are
trying to give natural effects, even
when making use Of the waving tongs.
Kiss curls over the ears are still in
favor and straight fringes are worn by
every second smart one one meets.

USE MUCH WOOL EMBROIDERY
signs on Almost Every Kind Of Ma
terlal, Even Chiffon.

Since the simple silhouette Is an es-
tablished fact, an opportunity has been
given women to spend their time and
energy upon the charming details of
their costumes. In America we have
been so busily engaged changing the
cut of skirts and the width of sleeves
that we had no spare moments to spend
upon the little hand touches, the eX-
pert tinlshingS, and the hemstitched
edges. These seemingly insignificant
niceties are really important, says
writer in the New York Times. In
Paris they realized that ages ago and
took advantage of the fact, sending us
each season creations to excite envy
because of their infinite attention to
the little things that put their stamp
of perfection upon the finished gown.
Wool embroidery, the Partisan edct
IS, shall be an important factor in the
trimming of winter frocks. They are
drawing wooden threads through 1t on
silk and satin. on serge and velvet, and
-yes-even on chiffon. And the pat
terms? They are no longer effects of a
group of roses or chain of daisies
stamped laboriously upon the material
and then worked over In tiny, close
lying stitches. The artist takes n
large-eyed needle and strand of
bright-colOred wool and works out de.

upon the spot where 1t will live until
the whole creation has become passe.

SWARM CONTROL BIG FACTOR
swarmine 10 Not Desired by Beekeep-
er Who 10 Keeping Bees for
Production of Honey.

Swarm control Is an important fac.
tor in beekeeping, asserts DR.. J. 81.
Merrill, assistant professor of ento-
mology In the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
"The standard of successful bee
keeping was formerly set by the mum.
Der of swarms that issued during the
year." said Doctor Merrill. "Now.
however, 1t Is known that one colony
will produce more honey than will a
colony which by swarming has been
separated Into two, or possibly more.
Thus, while swarming may be the
natural way for increasing the num-
Der of bees. 1t is not desired by the
beekeeper who Is keeping bees to pro-
duce honey.
"The exact cause for swarming IL
not known, although there are several
conditions which are known to stimu-
late 1t. If these conditions are reme-
died, large proportion Of swarming
Will be controlled"

Pockets to Go.

AS to materials for the fall gowns
the manufacturers claim that. just as
designers for men have promised to
reduce the amount of material used
by the elimination of the large pock-
cts, so designers for women will make
the wool suits narrower and palmer
for the same reason.
The pocket will undoubtedly go
along with the other unnecessary ap-
pendages. The manufacturers are
making the cotton back with wool
filling for the same reason.

The white is considered to have the

INCREASE IN GRAIN YIELDS
LuII In Farm Operations After Har.

(By w. M'FARLANE. Oklahoma Expert

Just after harvesting the small
grains there Is generally lull In the
farm operations. Then Is the time for
the farmer to prepare for the next
year.
DislSing up the stubble as soon as
possible after harvesting has been
found by experiment and common ex-
perlence to be profitable. 1t prepares
the soil to absorb and retain a maxi
mum amount Of moisture and also kills
many weeds. Just as soon as suffl-
Client moisture Is in the soil the farm

the ones that do the damage. A few
