CAN OR DRY FARM PRODUCTS
Fruits and Vegetables Can Be Gath
cred and Treated When at Proper
Stage Of Ripeness.

II Is particularly desirable to can or
dry the fruits and vegetables raised
on the farm, as the raw products can
be gathered and treated when abs0-
lutely fresh and at just the proper
stage of ripeness and tenderness for
best results, says the United States
department Of agriculture.
The average farm family probably
ans annually more than 100 quarts
Of fruits and vegetables, the greater
part Of which Is fruit. Canning clubs
have been instrumental in stimulating
interest In canning on the farm. The
drying Of fruits and vegetables, an old
farm art until recently on the decline,
has been revived quite generally with
In the past two years. This process
offers a good means of preserving
p~erishables without entailing expense
for containers. AS In canning.

Do You Believe III

War stories are very prevalent just
now, but one Of the best Is provided
by a young army veteran In Bradford,
Eng, who has pretty well circum-
navigated the globe on two or three
occasions. Among other places where
he has een service was with Kitch-
ener In the Soudan. and he tells a
very interesting story of what is prob
ably the most novel musical "lnstru-
ment" that has yet been invented. At
the battle OF Omdurman. the native
ONE followed up their troops. car
rying sacks OF stones for sllngs. babies
on Hlelr backs, and other impedimenta.
When the natives attack was turned
into a rout. and they faced about for
the retreat. the Britlshers were as
tonished to find the field covered with
babies who had been thrown away In
the flight. The camp humorlst. finding
that there was n great varlet; OF
musical tones displayed In their walls,
picked out a suitable eight. set them
up on u plank. and, by a little encour
aging. obtained q complete octave,
from which, by gentle punching, he got
a variety OF music.

The beauty OF this exterior has been
secured by the small, but artistic bay

TRAPS HELP REDUCE
P%ESTIFEROUS FLIES
Best Plan Is 10 Completely De-
stroy Breeding Places.
bulletin Issued by Department OF Az
riculture Gives Full Directions
for Making and Operation
Of Various Devices.

As n supplementary means OF con-
trolling flies, traps are of much val
ne. To obtain freedom from the
pests the best method Is either to
dispose completely Of their breeding
places or to treat these places with
chemicals. Traps will help capture
the flies that have escaped from de
structlon In other ways.
Fly trapping should begin early In
the spring to be most effective. Al
though comparatively few VIII be
caught then, their destruction means
the prevention of the development OF
millions of flies by midsummer.
The same general principle Is In
volved In nearly all fly traps, although
they may appear quite different. The
flies are attracted into a cage through
q passage, the entrance OF which Is
large and the exit small, so there
Is little chance Of the flies, once In, find
ing their way N again. One kind Is Il
window trap which catches the flies as
they endeavor TO leave or enter a build
ing. The garbage can trap catches
those that have entered garbage cans
The manure box trap retains h liz
which are bred from infested ma
nure put into a box. A bulletin Is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture for free distribution
gives full directions for making ana
operating n number OF kinds OF fly
traps.
The question Of selecting the best
bait for flies is nm important one.
II should he remembered that 1t is
usually the fermentation which rem
ders the material attractive to these
insects, and that bats are most at
tractive during their most active per
Iod of fermentation. For the house
fly, experiments Indicate that a nix
ture Of cheap cane molasses, II mixed
with three parts Of water, the at
tractiyeness becomes marked the sec
ond or third day.
Sticky fly papers are Of some val
nc In destroying flies which have
gained access to houses, but they have
marked limitations and numerous oh
%jectionable features. For use out OF
doors traps are much more effective
and economical.
Probably the best poison bait for
house flies Is formaldehyde In milk
used at the rate OF about two tea
spoonfuls OF formaldehyde TO n pint o1
n mixture of equal parts of milk an'
water. This is placed In places FIRE
q%uented by flies. A piece OF bread o.
n sponge adds to the effectiveness. Al
formaldchyde Is poison, this bait mus

MAKING MUTToN-ToMAT0 PIE
Excellent Method for Use Of Cold
Meat 10 Given by Department
Of Agriculture.

An excellent way to use cold mutt
ton Is to bake 1t with tomatoes. using
alternate layers of tomato and meat
A tomato sauce may be used or the
following method may be employed:
Place in the baking dish n layer OF
fresh tomatoes or Of cooked tomatoed
which have been either drained or rel
duced In volume by boiling. In the
dish place a layer of meat dredged
with -four, salt and pepper and add
small bits Of butter. Continue thd
layers until the casserole is full, arr
ranging to have a layer of buttereq
bread crumbs or cracker crumbs al

portions for tomato sauce-two leve|
tablespoonfuls each of butter and iouI
for each cupful of tomatoes.

leading to registers In tile rooms. II
a pIpeless furnace is used, II should

A basement extends under the whole

a part set aside for the laundry and
the laundry equipment.

else into eclipse for midsummer wear.
A sort of festival spirit seems to have
taken possession Of designers, and
clothes for morning, afternoon and

two afternoon costumes shown here

costumes were never intended for any
thing more strenuous than a prom

but In the great sport OF wearing
pretty apparel they will do their own
