in Difference to present-day style The
suit at the left has only one feature
that distinguishes it as distinctly Of
this season, and that is the manner in
which it is left open at the front
to the waistline. It is Of beige gaber-
dine and has a military suggestion in
its pockets with flap and belt fastened
with a small buckle. 1t will be noticed
that collars on the new suits are usu-
ally high in the back and this one fol-
lows this rule. Below there is & small
sketch of a jersey suit with a real
waistcoat-which leads to the confes-
sion that there is much camouhage In
this matter OF waistcoats-they are
usually merely front and nothing more.
Just a glance over the displays Of
footwear for summer brings home the
fact that women have taken more than
kindly to coIored shoes In fact It ap-
pears that color In footwear promises
to become a permanent thing, as In
RIoves-and that the same colorS are
to be used Many shades OF tan and
gray, often in combination with white,
russell and white shoes. If counted
would sum up as many pairs as there
are IN black shoes.

Community Kitchens Canned.

Community kitchens, where surplus
vegetables and fruits are canned IN
der cooperative arrangements, were
operated last year in Ohio, Peasants,
Kenawha, Jefferson, and, to some ex-
tent, in other counties of West Vir-
ginia. The kitchens were supervised
by the home demonstration agents of
the extension division of the state
university.
In the city of Charleston, where a
kitchen was opened in July, the num-
Der who brought products to be cam
ned increased from So women during
the second week to several times that
number in q short time
Supplementing the work Of the
Charleston kitchen are about Is vol
unteer women who, under the super
vision OF the home demonstration
agent of Kanawaha county, established
temporary field kitchens in the rural
communities, to which the women
bring their surplus vegetables and
fruits.
AS a result of this effort, large guam
titles Of food were conserved, much Of
which would otherwise have been
wasted

ON BEING CORRECTLY SUITED.

The vagarfes of spring suits are
many-as suits go. Heretofore it has
been left to afternoon and other
dresses TO give US unlimited variety to
choose from while the tailored suit
appeared true to form, in q few very
well defined styles. This season the
tailored suit is indulging many fan
cies of its own. There are suits with
very short coats, suits with Elton jack
cts, many suits with waistcoatS and a
good many eccentricities in coats.
Skirts are nearly always plain, but a
few exceptions to this rule appear in
skirts to be worn with coats that are
high at the back-an echo of the
hustle dress Of last winter.
With this variety in styles to choose
from, 1t becomes easy to be correctly
and becomingly suited. The waistcoat,
which is the most interesting feature
in the new suit styles, is made in as
many ways as suits themselves and is
becoming to almost everybody, but if
it proves unbecoming or impractical
we can center attention on other new
features in the styles, as the uneven
length Of coats at the bottom and the
abundance of braid trimming.
Two very conservative suits shown
In the picture will appeal to the WON
sn whose taste cannot be diverted
from plain and practical ideas in tai
1Ored clothes. At the right there is
blue serge-which we have always
with US, whatever else may come and
go-trimmed with silk braid and but
tons. The coat is longer in the front

LIQUID SWEETS
BY PARCEL POST
Average Distance 654 Miles in
Experimental Shipments by
Bureau of Markets.
LOSS IN THREE SHIPMENTS
Tin Containers With Screw Cap Found
Satisfactory for Sirups and Honey
Urge Only Hish-Grade Prod
ucts Be Shipped.

Producers and consumers may find
1t to their advantage to use the parcel
post for marketing sirups and extract
ed honey, according to a statement
from the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture. Elk
perimental shipments OF maple, cane,
sorghum strups, and extracted honey,
made from many parts of the country
over many different mail routes, have
shown the possibilities of marketing
these products by parcel post. A total
OF 394 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles, much
greater distance, it is pointed out, than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
Of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments Of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons OF corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces Of cork that cover
IAC OkfOAAhS III l-AC (OAo WACh IAC SNA CIV
caps are properly closed. AS a protec-
ton to the screw caps, squares OF cor
rugated paper board are placed on top
OF the cans beside the screw caps.
Such packages properly wrapped and
securely tied, marked fragile" as re-
Quired by the postal regulations for
packages containing liquids. will carry
without danger of leakage in the mails.
High Cost of Containers.
While the cost of containers is high
at the present time, there are doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar
keting would be desirable and ecOnomi-
cal, as sirups and extracted honey are
good substitutes for sugar. Sugges-
tons on obtaining customers and con-
Quoting business with them by parcel
post may be found in Farmers Bulletin
922, Parcel Post Business Methods"
In order to retain customers, say the
specialists, it is necessary that only
high-grade products be shipped, as the
principal incentive to buying by parcel
post is to obtain products of high
quality. Persons desiring further par
ticuiars in regard to shipping sirups
and extracted honey by parcel post
may apply to the bureau of markets,
United States department of agricul-
ture.

ing two parts by weight of cracked
corn with one part of wheat, or equal
parts of cracked corn, wheat, and oats
in one hopper and the dry mash for
chickens in another. The beef scrap
may be left out of the dry mash and
fed in a separate hopper, so that the
chickens can eat all OF this feed they
desire. If the beef scrap is to be fed
separately it is advisable to wait until
the chicks are ten days old, although
some poultrymen put the beef scrap
before the young chickens at the start
without bad results.
Chickens confined to small yards
should always be supplied with green
feed, such as lettuce, sprouted oats, al
falfa, or clover, but the best place to
raise chickens successfully is on a good
range where no extra green feed is re-
CURED Where the chickens are kept
in small bare yards, fine charcoal grit,
and oyster shell should be kept before
the chickens all the time, and cracked
or ground bone may be fed. The bone
is not necessary for chickens that have
a good range.

FEEDS FOR GROWING CHICKS
Suitable Rations Described for Young
Fowls From Ten Days Up, Wheat
Eating Age.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
After the chicks are ten days old,
a good growing mash, composed of two
parts by weight of bran, two parts mid
dlings, one part cornmeal, one part
low-grade wheat flour or red-dOg mid
dlings, and 10 per cent sifted beef
scrap, may be placed in a hopper and
left before them all the time. The
mash may be fed either wet or dry =;
if wet, only enough moisture (either
milk or water) should be added to
make the feed crumbIy, but in no
sense sloppy. When this growing mash
or mixture is not used, hopper con-
tanning bran should be accessible to
the chickens at all times.
After the chickens are two months
old they may be fed four times daily,
with good results After they are three
months old, three feelings a day are
enough
When one has only a few chickens,
it is less trouble to purchase the pre-
pared chick feeds, but where a consid-
cradle number are reared it is some
times cheaper to buy the finely cracked
grains and mix them together. Some
chick feeds contain a large quantity
of grit and may contain grains of poor
quality, so that they should be care
fully examined and guaranty as to
quality secured before purchase.
As soon as the chickens will eat
the whole wheat CASUALLY in about
eight weeks), cracked corn, and other
grains, the small-sized chick feed can
be eliminated. In addition to the above
feeds the chickens growth can be hast
ened if they are given sour milk, skim
milk, or buttermilk to drink. Growing
chickens kept on a good range may be
given all their feed in hopper, mix

Other features Of the new styles
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing, reveal that high
shoes continue TO be very high as COM
pared to high shoes Of q few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened a little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe is more trim
than the moderately high shoe and
more practical The uppers in these
shoes are Of cloth just as often as OF
kid. As fine kid is not the sort OF
leather that is needed in the army
there Is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with q clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and just as desirable as the
kid and maybe a little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers viii divide
honors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all Of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length Of discomfort. Con-

Care Makes Bees Efficient.

half the bees now kept in the United
States are virtually useless to their
owners and consequently beekeeping is
often condemned as improbable. Prob
ably In an average season for the
United States as a whole the surplus
honey obtained by good beekeepers
scarcely will exceed so pounds to the
colony. Assuming that 400 pounds is
the average needed by hive to main
tain its existence during the year, this
5O-pound surplus represents then only
one-ninth of the nectar gathered by the

GOOD FEED FOR LITTLE PIGS
scaIding MiddIings With Some Milk
and SWeetened With Moiasses Is
Most Excellent.

When pigs are about three weeks
old they will want to eat more than
the milk they can get from their
mother. A small, shallow trough
should be placed where the sow can
not get it. Scald some middlings,
stir and pour in some milk; if the
milk is sweet, all the better. Put into
the feed about tablespoonful Of mo-
1asses. Drive the little pigs carefully
over the trough. They viii get the
odor from the molasses, put their noses
to the feed, lap 1t, and begin to eat.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1918-05-16

bees. In such an average season an
apiary of 100 colonies may gather nee
tar equivalent to 221z tons of honey
where the honey crop" or surplus
honey will be only pa tons. That 100
colonies of bees can find nectar suffi-
cient to make 221a tons Of honey with
in a range of about two miles gives
some idea of the amount Of sugar avail
able in the form of nectar. This
amount doubtless is much below the
actual sugar at hand, for when nectar
is flowing freely bees do not get it all.
Furthermore, in many places more
than so pounds Of surplus are obtained
and often more than 100 colonies can
be kept prof1tably in one place.
In the face of these facts it is regret
table to find so many beekeepers who
fail to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are parts of the United States where
90 per cent of all colonies of bees are
in hollow logs or plain square boxes
in which combs Of bees cannot be
handled There are few parts of the
country where the box hive is not
found and probably one-third Of all the
bees in the country are so housed. In
this case both equipment and manage
ment are poor and the energy of the
bees is misdirected. Even of those
who keep their bees in modern hives
of movable frames the vast majority
do not get the full crop. By failing
to control swarming by providing in
sufficient room for storage or by lack
of proper care in winter their crop
is often reduced one-half or more.
