eners are now getting their hot beds
 in shape for planting. One of the
 most successful gives us directions
 for making one as follows. Select a
 protected place where the sun can
 strike the bed all day. dig a pit i2
 tO i6 inches deep, fill in and pack
 tight with horse manure. If manure
 is dry or heat is to be raised quick
 throw few pails of water on cover
 which should be from t0 inches
 of good soil He usually gets the
 soil where a brush heap has just
 been burned This has the weed
 seed killed and saves lots of work
 keeping the plants clean. Build a
 tight frame around this of boards or
 logs to t0 inches higher on the
 north side, for of course your hot
 bed extends cast and west the long
 way. 1t can be made any length, three feet wide for width. as most
 any old window sash will cover it and it is just about right to reach
 over to plant and care for. Some
 like as well or better for a cover a white cotton cloth tackled on frame. These old cotton chop sacks are just right If cloth is used a board cover should be provided in case of bad storms In planting have the rows north and south. Plant cabbage. to- matoes. peppers. celery egg plant, etc. If they get too large before set ting out time take them up, set out thicklv in boxes This hardens them for setting in the field. Or leave the The cover of the hot bed for week or two before setting out

 Now comes a public official whose position would lead one to think he he had considerable of a knob on top of his neck, and says the south must raise more of it's food and feed to relieve the freight congestion. This old chestnut about the south feeding itself has been handed down from father to son so long that prob ably every man. woman and child in the United States is familiar with 1t. As a matter of fact by far the great est majority of cars going south are emptys even on this line. What does that mean? It means they are com ing to be loaded, and many. if not most loaded cars going south are loaded with export stuff for the gulf. Yes, we get few carloads of winter potatoes, but think of the of cars of early spuds we send to fed the north, months before they have them Think of the thousands of cars of early vege- tables. the thousands of cars of ber ries, the thousands of cars of peaches, the melons, the cantal- oupcs, the rice, the fish, the syrup, the sugar. Half or more lard com pound shortening used in the United States is from the south. Think of the thousands of trains of lum- Der, the oil the sulphur. But why go on-the s0uth's cotton crop will nearly or perhaps more than pay for everything grown in the grain states this year. In addition to all we ship out the southern farmer is feeding hundreds of thousands of men and teams in lumber and | freighling service-teams and men. | tho they are creating wealth, are instead of producers. A shrewd grain belt farmer said we are losing our southern market year | by year. Still shrewder ones are coming south where the winter does not consume all the summer pro-

In millinery, as in other things, the
seasons styles have gravitated toward
a few types that have established
themselves and will last as long as the
summer lasts-and perhaps longer.
One may be sure of them anywhere.
Among them are wide-brimmed and
moderately wide-brimmed sailor
shapes, small hats that have a sugges-
ton Of the poke bonnet in their lines
and the cloche or drooping-brimmed
bell shape, with its brim little wider
than in the beginning of spring. These
persist among others that are almost
as popular; as small turbans and me-
iiium-sized turbanlike shapes with spir
lted brim lines and corOnets. The last
is a type that women of middle age
like best.
Plenty of variety appears in these
favored shapes in popular hats. One
does not look for eccentricities in the
shapes themselves; but in the trim
mings all sorts Of pretty whims find
expression, especially among street
hats. An example of this appears in
the smart hat with curled quill trim
ming that is shown in the accompany
Ing picture. This model has been made
in black and in several colors-each
hat all in one color-with brim and
side crown of caterpillar braid, facing
and top crown of satin. The quill
that trims it is of the same satin and
is the spice of the creation. 1t departs
from the way Of quilts, leaving their
straight and narrow path to follow
willful spiral Of its own, and fully JUS
titles it's independence.
A beautiful wide-brimmed hat is
made of crepe georgette faced with
braid. The upper part of the crown is
covered with folds of crepe and the
lower part with smooth band of 1t

InfertiIe Eggs for Market.

The loss in the United States from
improper methods Of producing and
handling eggs amounts to millions Of
dollars year. Probably one-third Of
this loss is due to the partial Matching
of fertile eggs which have been al
lowed to become warm enough to in
cubate. This annual loss of good food
can be prevented by separating the
hens from the male birds after the
Matching season is over. The male
bird serves no useful purpose in the
flock during summer, fall and winter
and should be cooked, sold or confined
Immediately after the Matching season
is over.

Record for Hauling Euos.


The first commercial truck load Of
eggs from Vineland and Millville, N.

miles-arrived recently with not one
egg broken. Delivery from the ship
per to the wholesaler was made in Is
hours, which is faster time than that
made by express shipments, and es-
tablishes a record for motor haul Of
eggs, according to the bureau Of mar,
kets of the United States department
of agriculture which arranged for the
demonstration. The five-ton truck
carried $50 crates Of eggs weighing
nearly four tons, the rest Of the load
being made up Of Grated glass. Il

One must be thoroughly versed in
the art Of millinery to recognize all
the gradations in the several types Of
hats. It is getting a little difficult for
the amateur to classify them, but the
expert places each hat at a glance.
This variation of the different types
gives more room than ever for the ex-
ercise of individual taste and dis
elimination, but in classifying the new
hats we must take the experts word
for 1t.
With this explanation the statement
that the large hat shown at the left
Of the picture above belongs among
sport hats, may stand chance Of be-
ing believed. This is a sport hat de
luxe, that is, dressy hat that reflects
sports styles. 1t has made its appear
ance along with sport skirts Of heavy,
high-luster satins and sleeveless vel
vet coats. A new name is needed for
this particular kind Of apparel In
which women lend countenance to
sports. A very handsome French hat
Of this kind was made by covering a
large shape Of grass-green cocoanut
braid with fowered chiffon in gay col
Ors and patterns that resemble Gre
tonne. The chiffon is stretched over
the crown and upper brim smoothly.
About the hat there are small clusters
Of green cats. little .crabapples and
blackberries, set at the base Of the
crown.
