Efficient and Uniform
Toxicity Made for Rats

According to results of experiments
conducted Jointly by the bureaus of
biological survey and chemistry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, a powder can be made from dried
red-squill bulbs which has an efficient
and uniform toxicity for rats, but at
the same time apparently does not un-
duly endanger human beings or do
nestle animals
The use of powdered red squill for
the destruction of rats is comparative
ly recent in this country, although the
poison has been in limited use in Eu-
rope for centuries. 1t has never come
into popular use, however, even there,
because of its tendency to vary great
ly in potency. Several of the factors
influencing its toxicity have been de-
veloped during the course of the pres
ent investigation. Officials of the De-
partment of Agriculture anticipate
that these experiments will be of
material assistance in the production
of a uniform and stable squill prod
uct. This poison should greatly bene-
fit the poultrymen and farmers gen.
orally who hesitate to use some of the
commercial rat pOisons on account OF
the attending danger to live stock.

Of the coat and skirt may be meas
ured. This is lowered or raised ac-
cording to the dictates of fashion or

horizontal line 1t should not be
placed so as to divide the garment
into two equal parts. The length Of
the coat and skirt will be determined
by style as well as by the height,
weight and figure of the individual.
Freedom of Movement.
A well-fitted garment allows free
dom of movement without being too
large, and Is free from unnecessary
wrinkles and folds. The general style
of the garment determines whether
the fitting should be snug, easy, or
loose. Garments fitted moderately
loose are best suited to large figures,
for tightness emphasizes the curves
and makes the figure appear larger.
Make any garment too loose rather
than too snug. Allow for shrinkage
of the fabric when it is cleaned. I'm
der-arm seams and center front and
back threads Of any garment are al
ways perpendicular to the floor. The
skirt hangs straight without swinging
to the front or to the back. When fit
ting a garment try the seams in diff
ferent positions, especially those Of
the shoulder. Study the figure to find
the position which will emphasize the
best features and conceal those which
are not so good. Put the attention on
fitting the figure rather than on keep
ing the lines Of the pattern.

Unusual Sandwiches Are
Always Gladly Received

Sandwiches that are different" are
always received with enthusiasm, both
by those who are obliged to carry
lunches in this form more or less regu-
larly, and by those who seldom eat
them except at picnic or social gath
ering. Dainty thin sandwiches that
are neither too filling nor too coying-
ly sweet are appreciated for afternoon
tea or for party refreshments, because
they do not spoil the appetite for the
next meal. Some Of the best sand
witch spreads for such purposes are
made by combining simple materials
like parsley, watercress, green peppers,
or grated orange peel with butter, the
bureau of home economics of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture suggests. These sandwiches are
tasty and also attractive in color. The
work Of spreading the bread Is re-
duced one-half. Butter and filling are
combined, and if the mixture Is
spread thickly on one slice of bread
the upper slice does not need spread
ing. This is special advantage In
preparing large quantities of sand
witches.
When the sandwich material is one
of the raw vegetables, it should be
finely minced by running 1t through a
food chopper, using the nut knife.
Cream the butter at room tempera-
ture, but do not allow it to melt, be-
cause that changes both the flavor
and consistency. Mix equal parts OF
butter and chopped vegetable and add
seasoning-salt, pepper. tabasco, and
a few drops of lemon. Some espe-
cially good combinations are: water
cress, green peppers, parsley with
lemon juice, red cabbage with horse
radish, which prevents the cabbage
from changing color.
A good fruit butter for filling is
made by using grated orange rind as
the flavoring with small amount of
orange juice.

Care in fitting a garment, whether
homemade or ready-made, helps to de-
termine its appearance and the way it
wears. Badly fitted clothing pulls and
gives at the wrong points and is a
source Of continual dissatisfaction.
Much time may be wasted trying to
remedy the trouble. A well-fitted, APP
propriate, becoming suit or dress will
give its wearer a look of distinction
and trimness.
Commercial patterns are planned
for ideal figures, and must almost al
ways be altered to fit the individual
user. The bureau of home economics
believes, therefore, that a knowledge
Of fitting is fundamental for the home
sewer, and has prepared directions by
which time and material may be
saved when adapting commercial pat
terms or ready-made clothing to the
individual.
Advantage of Dress Form.
The dress form is an advantage In
making dresses, especially for the
woman who must do her own fitting.
She can study the lines best suited
to her figure, regulate the length of
the skirt and other parts accurately,
and determine most af the changes
that may be necessary. The final test
of the fit of a costume should be made
while sitting. 1t should be perfectly
comfortable and no unsightly wrinkles
should develop in this position.

noted the tape that marks the So

Fruit Sundaes at Home
Particularly Pleasing

French vanilla ice cream is particu-
larly good as a foundation for any
sort of fruit "sundae" made at home,
with crushed fresh fruit such as
strawberries, raspberries, and fresh
blackberries. To make French vanilla
ice cream, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture gives the recipe
below:
] quart milk q cupfuls sugar
y pint double u teaspoonful salt
cream Ia teaspoonfuls
eggs vanilla
Prepare as for custard by pouring
some of the heated milk into the light
ly beaten eggs and then cooking the
milk and eggs with the sugar and
salt in a double boiler until the GUS
tard coats the spoon. Cool. add the
double cream, and vanilla, mix wei,
and freeze.
For the freezing mixture use 1
part of salt to 4 or 6 parts of ice.
Turn the crank slowly during freez-
ing.

Shows Greatest Develop
ment in Farmers Elevators
in Western States.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Cooperative marketing of grain In
the United States shows it's greatest
development, from the standpoint of
the volume of business handled, in
farmers cooperative elevators, of
which there are more than $500 listed
with the United States Department of
Agriculture. Most of them appeared
in the Middle Western states. Farm
ers' elevators are most numerous, in
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
North Dakota, Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Ohio and Missouri. There are
a few cooperative warehouses in east
ern Washington which receive and
market grain. Some attempts have
been made by farm organizations TO
form declarations of local elevators,
but on the whole these attempts have
not been successful.
Organize Wheat Pools.
A total of 16 wheat pools have been
organized since 1920, but only 9 of
these We're sctive in 1925. The first
association was formed in Washing
ton and a second association was
formed in Idaho in 1920. Organiza-
lions were set up in Oregon, Montana,
Oklahoma and Kansas the following
year. In 1922 the Arizona, California,
Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota
and Texas associations were organ
lied. South Dakota and Minnesota
did not organize until 1928, and the
most recently organized association,
that of the Central states soft wheat
growers, began operating in 1924.
The wheat pools quite generally
utilize the facilities of the farmers
elevators in receiving and forwarding
grain to market. Several of the asso-
Citations lease or own terminal facili-
ties for the handling of grain, while
certain of the pools are now consid-
ering, or have already organized, SUBJ
salaries for the acquisition and oper-
alton of country elevators.
Organize Sales Agencies.
A number of attempts to organize
cooperative sales agencies have been
unsuccessful, but in spite of this other
associations organized for the same
purpose have been successful. There
are at the present time at least four
central selling agencies operating on
