BEST OF ATTENTION
Don't Put Away Rake and Hoe
Too Early in Season.
Surface Of Soil Should Be Lightly

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Here is a message for the tillers of
the thousands of home gardens al
ready planted In cities and the smaller
towns, and other thousands In process
Of being planted. Let every gardener
remember that his work of food pro-
ductlon Is only begun. Many amateurs
make the mistake Of putting away
the rake and hoe as soon as they have
the seeds In the ground. The surface
Of the ground should be lightly stirred
with rake and kept mellow before
the seeds come up. Often a week or
so OF extremely dry weather comes
after garden planting. This is liable
to cause many of the smaller seeds
to fail to germinate, or, II they germ
mate, they may not have enough
moisture to keep them alive.
There are two or three ways Of pre-
venting loss. One Is to use the sprink-
ling can and keep the surface lightly
watered until the seeds are up. An
other is TO lay a board directly over
the row of seeds until they sprout
and are just about ready to come
through the ground. 1t does not do
however, to leave the boards over the
row too long, as the little seedlings
on coming up against the boards will
be bent out of shape and weakened
Still another method is to scatter q
little fine. sifted manure. Here, also
care must be taken that the cover
ing is not too heavy, or the seedlings
will be injured when they come
through the ground.
A steel rake Is one of the best tool
for cultivating the garden, because |
loosens the top inch or two of thu
soil. Before the plants are up, breal
the surface ever so gently over tn
rows, with the rake. After the plant
appear, use the rake frequently alonl
each side Of the row to keep the sol
loose and mellow.

Headoear of Lovely Creation for Mid
summer Wear Where Dark
Frocks Must Prevail.

From Paris also comes the informa-
ton that, just now, little white hats
are very much in vogue. AS a mat
ter of fact, they are lovely creations
for midsummer wear, especially where
dark frocks must more or less pre-
vail. The smartest of Frenchwomen
wear tiny, little, white flower turbans
tied on with black chenille dotted
yoiIs. The white of these hats makes
a vivid contrast with darker clothes
and coloring. Usually they are with
out ornament, or are trimmed in white
also.
Milliners in New York are exhibiting
many new white hats, and the report
is that the sale of these turbans, ana
even of the larger white hats, has been
unusually brisk. Some are trimmed
with perky little pompons OF soI1'
f!irry-looking feathers. Others OF them
have stiff, white bows jutting jauntlly

are delicious. The fruit should be
very ripe. When other fruit cannot be
obtained there is always the whole
some dried fruit-prunes, figs, dates,
apricots and pears. These when well
cooked are especially healthful eaten
in combination with cooked cereal.
A fried egg to be cooked so that it
will be digestible should be dropped
into a well-greased frying pan, adding
a tablespoonful of hot water, then
cover and steam In the pan.
Ham omeIette.-Prepare an ONE
lette as usual and just before folding
spread with a cupful of finely minced
ham. Less may be used for a small
.omelette. Place in the oven for few
minutes to finish cooking.
Eggs in Peppers.-Cut thin slice
from the stem end of a green pepper
and take out the seeds. Cut slice
from the smaller end so that the pep
per will stand level and place on a
slice of buttered toast. Make a hol-
low in the toast and break an egg into
each. Bake until the eggs are set.
Goldfish a la Mode.-Flake one cup
full of Goldfish very fine, soak in cold
water. Mix two cupfuls of mashed po-
tatoes with two cupfuls of top milk or
thin cream, add two well-beaten eggs.
Season to taste, mix well and pile into
a well-greased baking dish. Bake %
minutes. If it does not brown, brush
the top with melted butter the last five
minutes of cooking.
Maple Custard.-Take three-fourths
of cupful of maple sirup, three cup
fuls of milk, two eggs, one and one
half teaspoonfuls Of cornstarch, pinch
of salt. Cook the custard and pour
over one-half peach placed in small
| molds. Chill, unmold and serve.
Beauregard Eggs on Toast-CooE
five eggs until hard; drop into colo
water and remove the shells. Cut and
separate the whites and yolks; press
the yolks through a sieve and chop the
whites very fine. Have ready five
squares of toasted bread, placed on {
platter. Prepare rich white sauce

Dutch colonial houses are having a
steadily increasing popularity with
home builders. They have the beauty
of the colonial exterior, coupled with
the quaint roof treatment of the homes
of Holland, an architectural style that
was transplanted into this country in
colonial times. And coupled with these
advantages, the Dutch colonial makes
possible great economy in the use of
the interior.
An excellent example of shingled
Dutch colonial house is shown in the
accompanying illustration. The CEN
tral entrance and the balanced WIN
dows, those on each side of the door
being duplicates, follow the colonial,
while the roof treatment is essentially
Dutch.
This house is of wood construction,
set on a concrete foundation, and its
outer walls are covered with shingles,
specially treated to give the silvery eff
feet of age. The house proper is 26
feet wide by "a feet inches deep,
with a porch projection of 10 feet. 1t
contains seven rooms and bath, beside
the porch and balcony, the former of
which may be inclosed as a living
porch and the latter as a sleeping
porch.
How the rooms are arranged and
their dimensions are shown by the

can be imagined how good this ar
rangement is when the porch is in

feet, with buffet built into window
bay, the windows, of course, being
above. Triple windows, corresponding
with those in the living room, also con-
tribute to the cheeriness of this room.
The kitchen is 9 by feet 6 inches,

still others are formed of rows Of

Not for midsummer only but gener-
ally hats of taffeta and satin and faille
seem to be preferred to those of straw.
The high cost of straw has had much
to do with this condition of affairs,

Upstairs are four bedrooms. each
corner room. The bath is placed at
the head of the stairs and is easily
accessible to all the rooms. Plenty of
closet space is provided both upstairs
and down, while the slope of the roof
permits more storage space in the at
tic.
The balcony, which is connected
with one of the bedrooms by double
French doors, is covered with canvas,
to deaden the sound. This will make
a most delightful sleeping porch by
the use of screens in the summer and
sash in the winter.

Here S Shown Charming White Or
candle Dress Embroidered in Black
With a Huge Sash of Black TuIIe,
Strictly in Keeping With the Popu-
lar Mode.
model. Variations of it may be made
by any woman who can sew at all.
A number of things could be sub
stituted for this elaborate hand en-
broidery. In the first place, the entire
dress might be made Of one of the
machine embroidered voiles or organ
dies. Especially beautiful ones have
been created this year, and so fine is
the workmanship that it is difficult to
distinguish it from hand embroidery.
Or a cotton crepe or voile, printed in
beautiful colors, could be used and
sashed in a contrasting or harmonic
ing color.
Fresh Interest in Black and White.
There is a cotton crepe, having a
white background marked off with lit
tie bars Aof gold, that would be effec-
tive. 1t may be sashed with white
voile or plain white crepe, finished
with rows Of hemstitching done In vel
low threads. Again, such a sash would
be pretty finished at the ends with
either a white or yellow fringe Of cot
ton threads.
Typifying the interest in black and
white are the new organdie dresses
with heavy embroideries in black,
usually ranging in panel form, falling
over foundation skirts of organdie
with white embroidery; the black and
white often being of similar design.
A huge sash of black tulle with
looped bows completes such a dress
and stamps it as being distinctly of
the summer of 1920. These white or
candle dresses are very short-11 or
| u inches from the f1oor-and one end
of the tulle sash hangs several inches
below the hem.
| Another means of introducing black
| into white organdie frocks is through
a black tulle insertion, often en-
broidered in delicate colors. Ruffles
of black lace frequently trim white or
candle.
Panel Motifs of Printed FouIards.
There is nothing newer than the
printed foulard sash. The dress has a
one-side crossing surplice bodice and
a straight plated skirt. Into the lat
ter are set panel motifs of printed fou-
lard. The main feature, however, is
the big printed sash of pattern ex-
actly matching the skirt panels.
Bear in mind that the sash is not
made from a piece Of the silk, but is
actual ribbon, about sixteen inches
wide, finished with a ribbon edge, thus
replacing the custom Of using a sash
made of the fabric, cut and hemmed
The ribbon, which is woven for this
purpose and of exactly the right width
for such a sash, is the result of care

This year part of the peach crop
may he better graded at less expense
than heretofore by use Of a new sizer
developed by government workers. Two
machines were built last year and test
ed under commercial conditions at
Leesburg. Va, and Mayfield, Ga. In
formation gained through these tests
was used In perfecting the present
machine. drawings Of which are now
available to all growers or manufac-
turers interested, according to an
nouncement by the bureau of markets.
The machine has several unique fea-
lures and advantages over existing
types Of sizers which make 1t possible
to handle fruit with less bruising,
while its construction permits 10 to 10
packers to work at one time, thus max
ing possible a run Of two to three car
loads Of peaches a day from each ma
chine, the amount depending on the
average quality of the fruit. The over
all dimensions of the machine are
24x15 feet. 1t requires an electric
motor of less than one horsepower ca
pacity, or small gas engine, to ope-
rate 1t, and It can be run at half ca
pacity IL desired. Under commercial
conditions 1t should be sold at a price
not to exceed $3.50, according to esti-
mates of the designers.
How 1t Works.
The peaches from the orchard are
delivered on an inclined roller convey
or. on each side of which sorters stand
and pick out culls and damaged fruit.
The rotation Of the peaches on this
conveyor, which is obtained without
bruising, enables the sorters to see the
entire surface of the fruit without
touching IT. From this roller convey
or the peaches are delivered to two
sets Of ropes running over pulleys.
A simple lever arrangement permits
the adjustment Of the spaces between
these ropes to Accommodate any size
fruit II Is desired to grade. Although
the ropes dlverge from each other un-

Minnesota Expert.

The best annual forage crop for
swine in the northern United States,

at st. Paul, Minn., is dwarf Essex
rape. Many who have made use of
rape pastures declare they are second

effects. Other novelties include rib
bons of straw, which, absurd as it
may seem, are used as trimming on
dresses.
A charming dress is developed in
taffeta, plain and fancy, with a big
taffeta sash at one side balancing a
pannier drapery at the other. The
skirt is of a lovely gray with printed
figures in which the dominant note is
Jade green, with a liberal interspers-
ing of gold and silver lame threads.
The bodice, reminiscent of the old
fashioned basque, is of jade green taf-
feta and ribbon of the same shade. It
has kimono sleeves and the back Is
cut In a deep point like the front. The
ribbon sash is lined with the brocaded
taffeta.

What are the early symptoms? The
patient may have neither cough nor
expectoration. He feels tired in the
afternoon, and wakes tired in the
morning. His appetite is poor, and
he begins to lose weight or to stop
growing. He is easily exhausted after
exercise. Anyone who notices these
