TIME situation In. chlldren's hats
i has changed within the last few
years, since specialists have found 1t
worth their while to devote all their
time and talents to the production OF
hats for little folks and young girls.
Beginning with girls Of four, they
think out the charming hats that In.
terpret girlhood as it progresses from
little girls to misses, and on to "ju.
niors" on the morning side Of sixteen.
They take into account the varied
types Of girls and make millinery that
is quaint, saucy, demure or even anus
ing, handling with much artistry hats
that are patterned after grown.up's
millinery.
Many mothers eliminate from their
choice all hats with trimmings, other
than q ribbon sash or band, for girls
under sixteen. They choose plain
hats in fine quality, and their taste
is never in question. This restraint
in the matter Of clothes is a part Of
the training Of their children and has
several advantages, especially for jun.
Tors. It helps keep their minds from
being distracted from school work and
makes them enjoy more the privileges
coming to them when they are older.

produces according to the attention
given it. A well-cared-for garden will
produce much higher yields than one
which is neglected. The average re-
turn in money value from q tenth.acre
plot of ground usually is about $S5
for a season.
Fresh Vegetable Supply.
Plenty Of fresh vegetables direct
from the garden to the table Is of
vastly greater Importance than the
money value, the cutting out Of mid.
tfieman's profits or transportation
problems. The question Of saving and
cost, however, may prove a very i'm
portant factor before the close Of an
other year. Already there Is much
unemployment Of labor and the local
or home production Of foods in the gar
den Is the surest way Of safeguarding
the family food supply. 1t is said that
the farmers Of the country could cut
themselves off from the rest Of the
people and live comfortably for an
indefinite period, because they can
produce practically everything that
thew need. Gardens furnish an i'm
portant part Of the living Of families
on farms and the same principle will
apply to people who live in cities,
towns, and villages who have access
to a small tract Of land on which to
grow garden.
There is nothing connected with the
work Of cultivating a garden that has
q tendency to injure the health unless
overexertion is INDUCED in. Persons
who habitually work indoors should
be rather careful when they first be-
gin working in the direct sunshine.
When the work Is first started the
muscles are stiff and weakened from
inactivity and 1t Is necessary to 90
slowly until they get into play.

plant gardens which resulted in es-
taDllshlng the gardening habit. This
year, specialists say, home gardens
Will play an important part in thrift
and economy. Thousands of acres of
uncCltivated land in and about many
large cities will be utilized this year
to furnish employment and recreation
to home gardeners who know that by
raising their own supply of vegetables
they can materially reduce their liy-
Ing costs.
Enough for Average Family.
One-tenth of an acre of fairly good
grOund-a square about 65 feet each
way-will supply the greater part Of
the vegetables needed by the average
family, say garden specialists Of the
department. The cost of all seeds
and fertilizers for garden of this
size should not exceed SIS to SIS, and
MAY not cost more than s. or $40.
Experience has shown that not more
than 100 hours should be required for
planting and caring for a tenth-acre
garden. This time Is SO distributed
throughout the season that the work
can be easily done by most persons
working in factories, stores, or Offices
1t means an average of about five or
six hours a week for period of 20
weeks or merely enough time for prop
er outdoor recreation and exercise
necessary for good health. More time
will be required early in the season
while the garden Is being prepared
and planted than during the summer,
when not more than two or three
hours week will be necessary to
keep the garden in good condition.
A little time during mornings, eve
nings, and on holidays spent in the
garden is a good investment. A gar
den is like a farm, however, in that It

BEST VEGETABLES TO PLANT
Many Beginners Make Mistake Of
Planting Everything In Gaia.
Iooue-PuIverize Soil.

Some beginners in gardening be-
come very enthusiastic In early spring
when they look through seed cata.
logues. They have a desire to plant
every kind Of vegetable deliberately
described and favorably illustrated.
AS a rule not more than 10 or 20
kinds of vegetables should be planted
In the average home garden, say spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture. Few beginners
also realize the Importance Of we'll.
prepared seed beds. Pulverize the soil
as deeply as 1t is plowed. If the soil
is coarse and lumpy, even though Its
surface is we'll broken up, the plants
will not thrive. Large air spaces in
the soil are injurious, but great num-
Der Of small ones are beneficial.

Hazards which sometimes accom-
pany the incubation Of eggs are large.
" avoidable. Fertile eggs from vigor.
GUS breeding stock are necessary IN
order to obtain good matches.
Free range for the breeders Is most
desirable for the production Of fertile
eggs with vigorous germs, but all eggs
produced from such hens should not
be used for incubation. Eggs that are
abnormally small and poorly shaped or
those having thin or very poor shells
should be eliminated. Di.ty eggs or
those badly soiled should not be used.
If II Is found necessary to set slightly
SOlled eggs they may be cleaned by
rubbing lightly with damp cloth, care
being taken not to rub off any more
of the natural bloom than is neces-
sary.
1t IS never advisable to use fox
Matching eggs that are more than two
weeks old. In freezing weather eggs
Should be collected two or three times
a day so as to prevent their being
chilled. Neither a hen nor an incuba.
tor will hatch strong chicks from eggs
containing weak germs or from those
which have not received proper care.
IN preparing the nest for the sitting
hen, put from three to four inches
of damp earth or a piece of grass sod
in the bottom Of the nest before the
nesting material is put in to provide
moisture. When the hen becomes
broody, and before she is transferred
to the nest for sitting, she should be
busted with insect powder or sodium
fluOride. In doing this hold the hen

This should be repeated about the
| eighteenth day of incubation so as to
be sure that there are no lice present
when the chicks are Matched.
The hen should be moved at night
from the regular laying nest into the
hest where she is to be set. The lat
ter nest should be in some out-of-the-
way place where the hen will not be-
disturbed. In order to make sure that
the hen will continue to stay In the
new nest, she should be started with
one or two china nest eggs. If, at

AS the object of parcel post deal
ing is to obtain slightly increased

same class of products at lower prices,
for the consumer, the question Of ar
irving at prices fair to both is i'm
portant, and also difficult say mar
keting specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture.
1t is not likely, at least not for
some time to come, that eggs will be
marketed so largely by parcel post
that the ordinary market quotations
can not be depended upon in arriving
at prices.
1t should be comparatively easy for
a producer and a consumer to agree
upon stipulated market quotations as
the basis for determining prices. A

hen should be permitted to leave her
nest for flood and water, she returns
in short time, the nest eggs may be
replaced with the eggs that are to be
incubated.
Throughout the period of incubation
the eggs and nests should be kept
clean. Sometimes 1t will be necessary
to change the nesting material. Eggs
should be tested twice during the In
cubation period, preferably on the sew
enth and fourteenth days, and all In
fertile eggs and those with dead germs
should be removed. When the eggs
begin to hatch, the hen should be con-
fined and not disturbed until the hatch

Matched and keep them in warm

figure above the wholesale quotation
for the best grade Of eggs on the mar
ket that week. The necessary rela-
tons In this matter can be maintained
only by scrupulous honesty and mu-
tual trust.
The nature Of the agreement be-
tween the producer and the consum-
er, whether reduced to writing or not,
should be made to suit the circum-

haps the first agreement should be

The matter of frequency and meth

various ways. For the first agreement
term, which may be a year or less,
cash in advance might be satisfactory,
until a definite system OF orders and
payments is established.
For the reason that eggs are abund-
ant in the spring and scarce In the
autumn and early winter, the con-
tract should specify the quantities to
be supplied each week throughout the
year. The producer making an agree
ment with consumer should under
take to replace or allow rebates for
