the soil may be stirred between the

idly so as to attain reasonable size
before the heated term of early sum-
mer sets in.
In the North it is customary to SOW
the seed broadcast about the 18th or
July on land from which early peas,
early potatoes, or some other early
crop has been removed. The land is
raked smooth and the small seeds SIM
ply scattered over the surface, then
covered by again raking the soil. No
cultivation is required where the seeds
are sown broadcast.
In the southern states turnips are
frequently destroyed by plant lice that
suck the juices of the leaves. These
insects are rather difficult to control.
spraying with nicotine preparations be-
ing about the only remedy.
Turnips stand considerable cold, but
those that are to be placed in pits or
in the cellar for winter use should not
be allowed to freeze before being
stored. If they become frozen in stor-
age, they should not be disturbed until
they thaw naturally.

We hold out our hands to welcome
the real summer weather, because,
observes fashion writer, there comes
our chance to take on the picturesque
garments, and this year not only have
the summer fabrics been perfected to
a formerly unsupported degree, but
their fineness and beauty have In
spired the creators Of fashions to work
them into more fascinating summer
frocks. There are things that can be
done with cottons and linens and soft
silks that could not be attempted In
more cumbersome fabrics. And this
year they have been done In a most
expressive way. OF trimmings there
are few and those which do appear
are handled in a restrained manner,
being applied only where they will
show to their best advantage. They
sink into the gown as though they
were a pre-conceived part Of it. In
stead of something flung on at the
last moment, when the idea Of trim
ming suddenly became uppermost.
So many are the fabrics, both Of
domestic and imported origin, that no
one Of them can be said to hold the
lead above another. But the thin or
candies and swiss and dotted mulls
certainly have received lot of atten-
ton and all buying signs point to the

BETTER PROFITS IN POULTRY
Specialists of Department Of Agricui-
ture Give Reasons for FavorinG
Standard BREEDS.

Here are five reasons given by spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture for keeping
standardized poultry:
Standardized poultry is more uni
form in size, type and color.
Standardized poultry is more at
tractiye in appearance and appeals
more strongly to purchasers of stock
and eggs.
STANDARDIZED poultry offers a
greater combination of practical and
useful qualities suitable to the needs
of the farmer and poultry keeper.
The products Of standardized fowls
are more uniform in quality, are In
greater demand, and bring better
prices.
STANDARDIZED poultry means great
er success and better profits.

partment Of Agriculture, discussing

ton against loading diseased potatoes
Is also urged because Of the large
number of shipments that show scab,
wilt, or late blight, and in some cases
are practically worthless when they
reach the market.
Press Potatoes Firmly in Barrels.
The double-headed ventilated bar
rel, it is said, appears to be the best
package for new potatoes that is
now in general use. If properly made,
it protects the potatoes as well as
holds them in place. Much less break
age has been found in cars where the
barrels are loaded on end than when
loaded on their bilge. Wooden strips
should be placed on top of the lower
layers Of barrels for this upper layers
to rest upon.
There is one serious objection to this
method of loading. In some instances
the barrels appear to be slack measure
when they arrive at the market, due to
the jolting in transit. This fault, how
ever, it is said, can be largely elm
mated if growers will fill their barrels
full and use press when heading.
Loading barrels on their bilge is said
not to be safe practice unless head
liners (strips to prevent heads bulg-
ing) are used. 1t is said that the
use Of headliners would prevent nine
tenths of the breakage in all types Of
loads with barrels. Records show
that practically every car has from 8

Sashes are extremely popular with
the summer cotton dresses of
every variety. Some of them are tied
in huge bows with ample ends while
others are made of narrow strips OF
material or of ribbon with the scanti

are many gorgeous ribbons woven for
this purpose. Some of them are satin

color for the ribbon and another for

''The spit ball." declares Jack
Quinn stoutIy, lis no more a freak

Yankee pitcher, an exponent of the
spit ball, soon TO be extinct, seems
to be sincere in his belief that it is
all right. He decries its adjustment
and holds that there is no good objec-
ton to it.
1T is no more a freak delivery than
the curve ball." he repeated, mot a
bit more. 1t never hurt anybody, and
no spit ball ever was invincible.
Those are the objections raised
against it by the baseball people, and
not one of the arguments is sound.

determination of the hitter, which

to 80 or more barrels broken on ar
rival at the market. Extra bracing is
needed when barrels are loaded on
their bilge.
Prevent Barrels Rolling.
Wooden strips should be placed
across the floor at frequent intervals
in order to prevent the lower barrels
from rolling. Use of rocks for this
purpose localizes the strain and causes
much breakage. Strips should also be
placed across the doors to prevent the
barrels on the upper layer from falling
against and jamming the doors.
The sack, it is said, is not suitable
container for tender new potatoes; it
offers no protection from bruising, and
when loaded is hard to ventilate. II
sacks are to be used they should be
of no greater capacity than 40
pounds. This size sack can be ham
died with much greater care and lends
itself to ventilation better than larger
sizes. Neither are hampers, it is said,
suitable packages for potatoes. They
do not have the necessary strength for
the weight Of their contents, and offer
little protection for the potatoes.
Crates Of various sorts are being

Many of the little calico frocks are
made up on this same accepted short

about the tininess of their all-over

northern states turnips are planted in
midsummer and stored for winter use.
In the southern states they are plant
ed early in spring for early summer
use, also in the fall for use during the
winter. Turnip tops make excellent
winter green's throughout the greater
part of the southern states. For early
spring culture it is customary to sow
