uNLEDeERED INCOME is BIG
Three Essentials, Food, Fuel and Shell
ter Do Not Appear on Farmers
Balance Sheet.

The farmer, unlike most men in 9TH
er lines of work, has two kinds Of in
come, one his regular cash income, the
other an income that is almost never
measured in dollars and cents.
Food, fuel, and shelter are three es-
sentials of life that go to make up the
part of the farmers balance sheet.
These are the things that lend safety
and stability to farm life; that en-
able the farmer to tide over bad years
and hard times that would be ruinous
if he had to pay cash for everything
that he gets. In the case of the man
on the small farm, this unledgered in
come is often Of as great Importance
to the farm family as the cash in
come, say farm management special

origin, are preventable, summarizes
the points which the farmer must
keep in mind, as follows:
All matches are a possible source of
danger.
Smoking or striking matches In
barns or stables should be prohibited.
Endangers Life.
Pouring gasoline or kerosene on a
smouldeling fire endangers life and
property.
Open-flame lights should not be used
in a garage or other building contain
ing gasoline engine or stored gaso-
line.
Never test for gas leaks with a
burning match.
Every open fire should be watched
until 1t is out.
Fire attracts children; children
cause many fires.
Metal Container for Rags.
All oiled rags should be kept in a
metal container with air-tight metal
cover.
The floor beneath stoves should
have metal covering.
The fire hazard should be consid-
cred in locating new buildings.
Woodwork should not come in con-
tact with any chimneys.
Remember that responsibility for
fires rests on individuals.

LOSSES IN SPINACH
SHIPMENTS REDUCED
Careful Handling and Packing
Are Most Essential.
Decay and Deterioration in Transit
Caused by Development Of Shiny
Soft Rot Can Be Checked by
Lower Temperatures.

Losses In spinach shipments can be
greatly reduced by careful handling in
harvesting and packing and by effec-
tive refrigeration in transit, according
to specialists In the bureau Of mar
kets, United States department of ag-
riculture, who have been investigating
the subject.
Reports show that some of the prin-
cipal spinach shipping sections of the
country are suffering considerable
loss from decay and deterioration in
transit caused by the development Of
Shiny rot. This decay develops rap
idly in transit when temperature con-
ditions are favorable, say the bureau
men. 1t starts at places where the
leaves have been bruised or wounded
and it very frequently follows attacks
of blight or other field diseases. Other
causes Of deterioration in transit are
yellowing and whiting of the leaves.
Prompt handling and shipment at a
low temperature largely reduce losses
from these causes.
That shipments Of spinach arrive In
better condition when crushed ice is
used In each package than without
the Ice is shown by test shipments
made from Austin, Tex, by the bu-
reau Of markets during the last two
years. Where ice was used in these
shipments, practically no soft rot had
developed when the spinach was re-
moved from the car, while comparable
shipments without ice had developed
8.9 per cent. Three days later the
iced spinach had developed only 11.9
per cent of soft rot while that shipped
without ice had developed 26.S per
cent. These shipments were made in
freight or express refrigerator cars.
the bunkers of which were iced in the
regular way.
When barrels are used the investi-
gators found that several layers Of
crushed ice scattered through the bar
rel are needed, large layer being
placed on top Of the spinach next to
the barrel head. Holes bored in the
bottom of the barrel provide drainage.
Shipments in baskets or crates carry
best with layer of crushed ice in the
center Of the container and another
layer on top of the spinach just under
the cover.
Test shipments made to determine
the effect of washing spinach before
shipment showed that washing has
an unfavorable effect on it's keeping
qualities. On removal from the car
at destination, unwashed spinach
showed practically no soft rot while
washed spinach showed SO per cent.
Three days later the washed spinach
had developed PAS per cent while the
unwashed had developed only 81 per
cent.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

THERE isn't the slightest reason in
l. the world why useful clothes need
be ugly clothes. or why clothes that are
meant for good hard wear need be drab
and uninteresting. Yet there always
are women who seem to think that this
is the case. When it comes to buying
a warm topcoat they lose interest and
they tighten their purse strings. Such
things, they argue, are bound to be
ugly anyway, so why spend money on
them? Save the money for less prac-
tical apparel. And sometimes they do
not get any practical clothes at all.
OF late seasons, and especially this
season, utility clothes have been made
extremely attractive, so attractive that
they possess a charm not possessed by
the more dainty apparel. And it has
been the French designers who have
been able to bring this about.
1t is partly a matter OF attractive
fabrics and then of interesting design.
In the cut you will see utility coat of
plaid wool, put out by designer in
Paris. Plaid you know Is all the rage
in Paris and there is hardly a Scotch
clan whose plaid has not beer. utilized
by the fabric weavers to meet the smart
demand. Perhaps those showing dark
shades of green and blue with n
suspicion Of yellow or red are most in
demand. OF green and blue is the plaid
used here and n plain blue is used for
tbe turned back cuffs and the high
crushed collar. The buttons that hold
the coat together at the side are also of
dark blue. The hat which is small and
substantial is Of navy blue taffeta. corded
with feather fancies at either side.
