50 Per Cent Are Soft Cuffs.

Fashion arbiters may hotly ar
bite, but cold figures take the
final bite. Symptomatic Of the al
most universal vogue Of the soft
cuff among Americans is the es-
innate that SO per cent Of all
shirts are made with soft cuffs,
leaving a lean and lonely 2 per
cent Of men who 'habitually wear
starched cuffs. Concerning soft
collars, it is reckoned that 10 to
20 per cent Of US wear them the
year round, whereas 40 to so per
cent of US wear them in midmost
summer.

The ommon view is that dry cows
need only enough feed for main
tenance, but experiments carried on
by the department show that this Is
not true. The COW is a milk-manufac'
turing plant, and, like many factories,
she must have a reserve supply of ma
terials to draw on when heavy de-
mands are made. A COW that has been
well fed when dry and has stored up
this reserve is able to produce more
on full feed than a cow that has been
given only a maintenance ration dur
ing that resting period. In this way a
COW can utilize her capacity the year
round, although she may not be giving
milk all the time.
IN keeping up the necessary lime
and phosphorus supply it is well to
keep in mind the fact that certain
feeds are richer than others In these

DESTROY LAST YEARS PESTS
Excellent Plan to Remove All Stalks
and Burn Them--Ashes Make
Good Fertilizer.

In getting ready to make garden this
spring, 1t is an excellent plan to see
that all the stalks of last years vege-
tables which may have been left stand
ing are removed and burned.
In the first place the ashes will make
good fertilizer as the stems of nearly
all vegetables contain excellent ferti-
lizing material in their ash, and an
even more important consideration is
that by removing and destroying them
the insect pests are likely to be
checked.
Many insect pests find refuge under
boards, among the dried leaves or
stalks over winter. Often the spores
of fungus diseases which create havoc
are only waiting in these old stems to
get into action with balmy weather.
BY burning the refuse great quantity
of them will be destroyed.

FINEST QUALITY
PEAS WIN FAVOR
intermediate Variety Bear Better
When Given Support of Low
Brush or Wire.
LITTLE MARVEL IS SUPERIOR
Best Plan to Depend on Succession
Planting Week or Ten Days Apart
Rotation Is Also of Much
Importance.

The very finest quality peas at the
present time are neither, strictly
speaking, dwarfs, nor are . they tall.
They are intermediate and while they
may be grown as dwarfs and without
brushing, they bear better when given
the support of low brush or a narrow
strip of chicken wire. These are the
Gradus and Laxton types of pea,
which vary from 30 inches to almost
four feet, according to variety. All
do better with support, although com
monty grown as dwarfs. They give a
heavier yield when held upright.
Wrnked Type Superior.

kled type, which is much superior to
the earliest smooth-seeded type, Lit

among really dwarf peas, the vines
being only about eighteen inches. 1t
natures in eight weeks and is very
hardy and of the finest quality. A
little earlier is Market Surprises
Alaska and Maud S., smooth-seeded
peas, still remain the earliest of all,
of good quality if taken very young,
but not equal to the wrinkled vari-
eties, which are not so hardy and can
not be planted or cropped so early.
1t is possible with the variety Of
peas now on the market to plan
good succession planting, starting with
Alaska, Surprise, Little Marvel, Grad
US, Laxtonian and Thomas Laxton.
Hcwever, it Is better to depend up
on a successional planting a week or
ten days apart, as the season may be
such as to bring the cropping of diff
ferent peas too close together at ma
turity, if planted at the same time.
The planting of peas in double rows,
six inches apart, these double rows to
be three feet apart, is about right for
the more dwarf varieties, but if the
more vigorous growing dwarfs are to
be planted they will need at least four
feet between the rows unless they are
given brush or wire.
The round seeded peas can go into
the ground as soon as 1t can be dug,
but it Is best to wait a week or two
for the wrinkled varieties to be on
the safe side.
Rotation Is Necessary.
The peas should not be planted this
year in the same position that they
occupied last year. Neither should

found to contain stock beet seed, the
senders will be notified before plant
ing time.
Similar tests made in the green
houses during the past year made pos
sible the location Of mixtures con-
tanning stock beets Of red, or orange
colored varieties. 1t has been found
that white-fleshed varieties of stock
beets cannot be determined through
termination tests alone but must be
grown to a considerable size before
their distinguishing characteristics are
discernible. That the heavy losses ex-
perienced during the past two years
due to this cause constitute a strong
argument for the development Of an
American-grown supply of sugar-beet
seed, sufficient for the needs of our
beet industry, is the belief Of the
officials working on the problem.

previous season by beans for best re-
suits. A gardener should study his
garden plan each year with an eye to
moving the peas and beans across the
garden, so that they will not occupy
the same space In succeeding years.
OF course heavy fertilizing partly
makes up for the exhausting of the
soil, but it cannot wholly do so. These
two vegetables take more out of the
soil than the others and 1t is more
necessary to see that they rotate.
