The blouse fastens with n large
leather-covered button at the neck nnd
four of the same buttons at the waist

althongh It made Its appearance In
sports costumes early In the season.
Elaborate stltchery Is still the favored
trimming of both blouses and Jacquettes

Dairy Forecasts
Will Be Issued
Service Enables Dairymen
to Plan Ahead in Light of
Future Prospects.
(Prepared by thi I'nltrit States Department
of AKrlculturo.)
To enable dairyman to plan their
operations In the light of future pros
pects as Indicated by available sta
tistics on current milk production,
prices, stocks, and changes In dairy
herds, the United States Department
of Agriculture Is Inaugurating a spe
cial reporting service In the leading
dairying states. A tentative plan of
reporting has been drawn up and Is
to be tried out In an experimental
way In New England, New York and
Wisconsin. An effort will be made
to forecast as far In advance as pos
sible the number of dairy cows on
farms and prospective milk produc
tion. Information Requested.
Thousands of dairymen In the vnrl
otis states are to be requested to re
port each month to the department
the number of dairy cows and heifers
on farms at the end of the month, to
gether with the number of heifers
and calves under a year old being
raised for dairy cows. Information
will also be obtained teg.irdlng the
number of dairy cows and heifers bred
each month, the number of heifers
freshening with their llrst calves and
the number of other cows freshening
each month.
An effort will be made to obtain In
formation as to sales of dairy cows
and heifers for slaughter, as well as
the number of deaths monthly. Fig
ures will be obtained on the pro luc
tlon of milk and the number of (own
milked. It Is e-cpected that a mill
clently large number of dairymen can
be Induced to co-operate In the work
to provide the basis for state-wide es
timates. The new service Is In response to n
long-felt need for more complete In
formation concerning tho trend of the
dairy Industry. Dairymen have been
watching with Interest the progress of
the system worked out by the depart
ment with regard to live stock and as
result became available an Increas
ing number of dairymen and milk pro
ducers' associations have requested
tho department to Inaugurate a sim
ilar system In the dairy Industry. At
the present time approximately 80,000
farmers co-operate In the live-stock
service nnd It Is plnnned to Increase
the number to r0,000. A departure of
Interest to dairymen will be to request
live-stock producers to report separ
ately the number of cattle of the beef
type. It Is planned also to include In
the dairy reports Information concern
ing feed nnd pasture conditions.
Co-operation Urged.
All dairymen are urged to co-operate
with the Department of Agriculture In
this now work by promptly lining out
tho reports received from the depart
ment. All individual reports will be
considered confidential, only totals
and percentages of change from
month to month to be published. Each
dairyman reporting will receive per
sonal copies of the llnal monthly state
ment Issued by the department to
gether with the statistics of various
dairy products manufactured, stocks
In storage, and market Information
gathered from manufacturers, dis
tributors and handlers of dairy
products.
Kill Striped Cucumber
Beetle With Nicotine
- Cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and
the related crops can be protected
from the Inroads of the striped cu
cumber beetle by applying n fourth
to a hnlf ounce of nicotine dust, con
taining four per cent nicotine, to each
hill. The dust not only kills the In
sects that come In contact with It, but
It acts ns a repellent. If It Is applied
properly It drives the beetle from the
cracks In the sol! nt the base of the
plant, and so prevents very serious
Injury.
Kvcn n cheese cloth sack with which
to dust the vines Is elllclent on a
smnll area, but a larger area will pay
for a regular duster. Such a duster
also applies the powder In such a
way that beetles cannot escape de
struction by lllgbt.
Contented Cows Always
Make Highest Returns
In the barn of a largo and well
equipped dairy In Wisconsin Is a
largo placard conspicuously posted
which reads:
"No Swearing Allowed These Are
Contented Cows."
"It Is a stringent rule on all our
stock farms," says the manager, "that
harsh language or linklndnoss
toward the cattle Is absolutely for
bidden. Strange as It may seem, a
cow is as responsive to pleasant
treatment as a human being Is. If
you are mean to a cow she Is pretty
apt to return the meanness. There
fore we preach bovine optimism. We
keep our cows contented and we find
hey give more and better milk."
It Is Difficult Task to
Determine Ago of Cow
It Is more dltlleult to determine the
ago rf a cow than of a horse. .
cow's ago may be tlotermlnei from her
teeth and bonis. The number of "an
nual rings" on the horns, plus two, for
example, usually gives tho animal's
age, but remembering that the pairs of
permanent teeth come nine months
apart will help to verify It.
England's Live Stock j
Is Denied Admission I
Kept Out Because of Foot
and Mouth Disease.
(Prepare by the United State Department
of Agriculture.)
Ileeauso of the persistence of foot-and-mouth
disease In Kngland, tho
United States Department of Agricul
ture has been unable to lift the ban
against the Iminirtatlou of live stock
from that country. American iuiMrt
ers of lle stick had Imped that the
outbteak of the disease which occurred
on April 'M would be the last, and tho
department had given them reason (0
belles e that permits for bringing In
cattle, sheep, and swine from Kngland
would be Issued after July 1, but tho
report of a new outbreak made It
neee.xsarj to continue the embargo.
This action of the department Is a
hardship on American Importers who
would bring In stock fnlin Kngland,
but the welfare of tie entire live-stock
Industry In the United States demands
that the utmost care be exercised In
keeping out such a dangerous enemy
as foot-and-mouth disease. No impor
tations of ruminants and swine aro
permitted from countries where this
plague is well established. In conn
tries where there are occasional out
breaks. Kngland for eample, the en
tire country must be free tor a period
of do du.vs before shipments may ho
made to this eonntrv.
Destroy Weeds in Soy
Bean Field While Young
Farmers who are growing soy lieans
will Hod that It is highly Important to
kill the weeds while the plants are
very young. Crops men at Iowa State
college recommend cultivating the
young beans with the common harrow,
rotary hoe or weeder. Soy beans are
very hardy plants and, except for the
time when they are Just coming
through the ground anil mre making
their llrst two Inches of growth, they
may be harrowed regularly without
being damaged. The college men ad
vise cultivating often until the beans
are eight to ten inches I1W1. Special
care should he given the cultivation
when the beans are eight to ten Inches
tall.
A rotary hoe or weeder Is effective
In cultivating (lie beans and has an ad
vantage over the harrow In that It can
be used throughout a longer season.
The Important thing, however, Is to
keep the weeds out, regardless of tho
Implement used.
Spr
read Manure on Land
as Fast as It Is Made
The very beat way to get all of the
value out of the manure on the farm
Is to put It on the land Just as fast as
it Is made, manure loses a large part
of Its fertilizing valuo before It Is
used when It Is piled out of doors all
summer, waiting for some special
crop. Hotter get It on any crop or
permanent pasture Just as quickly as
possible rather than leaving It out In
idles In this way. As matter of fact,
oxiterlmonts have shown that manure
allowed to remain In piles through
three, four or fhe months in the sum
mer frequently loses from a third to
two-thrlds of Its total fertilising value.
This Is too serious a loss to be al
lowed to pass unheeded.
Renew Strawberry Patch
for the Coming Season
At the end of the fruiting season of
the strawberry patch It should lie re
newed for the following year. He
new nl will consist of barring off the
old row so as to plow out the old
plants, thus lemlng the new plants
beside the old row In a new soil. Keep
the strawberry patch cultivated during
the entire summer.
Apple Scab Controlled
by Spray Application
Apple scab can be controlled by bor
deaux or lime-sulphur, hut the scab
must bo watched for. When It llrst
appears It will show on the under side
of leaves on varieties that are very
susceptible. Little olive green patches
will begin to form. As soon as these
show their presence, spray -mnps
should bo put Into commission nt once
Lombard Is Considered
Plum of First Quality
Lombard Is ono of the Domestlca
or European type of plums and has
been considered one of the best qual
ity varieties. However, It Is like most
of tho Kuropcnn varieties In Its sus
ceptibility to rot, and for this reason,
It Is not grown so successfully In tho
southern or central states where the
brown rot is worse on the plum.
Apply Fresh Hellebore
to Kill Currant Worm3
If the currant worm becomes seri
ous when the fruit Is nearly ripe,
fresh hellebore should he used. As a
spray, apply at the rate of four ounces
In two or three gallons of water; or
the plants may be dusted with a mix
ture of one pound of the material In
live pounds of Hour or alr-slnked lime.
Give Dairy Cows Access
to Water at All Times
llvo the dairy cows access to water
at all times. If the source of water In
the pasture lot Is a stream, precaution
should be taken to see that It Is not
converted Into n mud piulillu by th'i
cows standing In the water. It Is better
to have the water in n clean tank.

Ontario College Gives
Tuberculosis Treatment
The Ontario Agricultural college re
ports that tuberculosis In poultry Is
very common In that province There
Is not a county from which there has
not been receUed for examination hens
either dead of, or suffering from, thla
disease. Almost Invariably a letter
accompanies such bint Mating that
deaths are occurring In tho Hock at
frequent Intervals.
Tuberculosis results In considerable
financial losses to the poultrymau, duo
to decrease In egg production, and
heavy mortality In the Hocks where It
Is present.
The disease Is chronic rather than
acute. The birds suffering from it
uxiMlly lose llesh, turn pale around
head, become listless, mopy and fre
quently latae, while egg laying Is re
duced to a minimum.
To be sure that such a condition of
the birds Is due to tuberculosis It Is
neetssary to hold a postmortem exam
ination of one of them. The bird
.should he killed xnd opened up. If
tuberculosis Is present the liver and
spleen will he spotted with white or
cream colored spots vnr.Ung In slzo
frou a small pin head to a pea or
bean. These are the socalled tubercles,
which are compos-cd of dead tissue that
has been killed by the action of tho
poison secreted by the tuberculosis
I actetia which have developed there.
TIicm- tubercles are often found on the
tnlo tines and In the lungs and bones
as well as In the liver and spleen.
I'.lrds suffering from the disease glvo
off large numbers itf the tuberculosis
bacteria In their droppings. Other
birds in the flock scratching around
nnl feeding with such birds pick tip
the bacteria with their feed and grit
and so get infected.
When this disease Is found In a flock
It Is ntlvlanble to kill off all the b'rds.
Those birds which on examination do
f.ot show evidence of the disease may
be used as food. Those that show the
disease should be destroyed by burning
or burying deeply In quicklime.
The entire premises In which tho
birds have been kept should then lit
well scrajH-d, cleaned nnd thoroughly
disinfected by the application of a
disinfectant wash or spray, nB quick
lime, cresnl. etc. Tb nun ulinnlil do
well covered with quicklime and then
i'"'"n""i iiii-iiij. even aiier sucn
treatment It would he preferable to
establish new runs on fresh ground
and then restock from flocks that nr
known to be healthy.
Poultry Producers Now
Favoring Infertile Egg
The heat of summer has exactly the
mine effect upon fertile eggs as does
the hen or the Incubator used to hatch
them. The fertile gurm in hot weather
quickly develops Into a blood ring
which spoils the egg for food or mar
ket purposes. Heat Is the great en
emy of eggs, both fertile and In
fertile. On this account poultry pro
ducers are urged to keep nest clean
(luting warm weather; to provide one
nest for every four fowls, In order that
the nests may not 'be used too often
and soli the eggs; to gather eggs twice
dally; to keep eggs In a cool, di room
or cellar; to market eggs at least twice
n week.
Hens Isolatrd on range and pasture
from the male birds produce Infertile
eggs of desirable market quality. In
general, about two weeks after tho
roosters are removed from the flock
the hens will again yield Infertile eggs.
Occasionally hens running with mult
birds produce infertile eggs, but as a
rule this results from the fowls being
confined too closely, being overfat, or
not having access to enough green
feed.
Best Plan to Segregate
Geese From Other Birds
fleeso need a separate range from
poultry If ninny geese uro raised. Tho
big birds are not particular where they
dig their bills, but are sure to wash
them off in the hens' drinking water
or the crocks of sour milk. This
means dirty water for tho hens or fre
quent emptying and refilling of troughs
or pails. If the hens are on a llmtfcd
range they will need plenty of tender
grass and goose also need a lot of
grass.
If geese aro allowed to range where
young chicks are growing the geese
will steal the mash and some of the
(crutch feed. Tills Increases the cost
per pound of producing goose meat,
and the profit In geese Is due to tho
fact that they are largely grass outers
and can be raised on cheap feed.
Jerusalem Artichoke Is
Good for Growing Stock
The Jerusalem Aitlcboke, ami espe
cially the .Mammoth French White, do-
I serves more attention from poultry
men. l.xtreinely hardy and prnllllc, it
can be grown almost nn where and un
der any conditions. The green shouts
form abundant shade and succulent
feed for growing stock, the closeness
of the foliage helps to thoke out weeds,
while the tubers keep well, are rel
ished for winter feed for laying hens
and early spring. Toed for llttlo chicks.

LEGENDS TOLD OF HARPIES
In Mythology It tc Related That They
Swooped Down and Despoiled
tho Tnblo cf Aeneas.
Harpies were celebrated in many
ancient talcs as a race of monsters
that Infested certain Moires. They
were usually represented as having a
woman's head and the upper part of
the body and bird's wings, tall, legs
and claws, sa.vs the Detroit News.
It Is related that these tierce mon
sters Hew down upon Aeneas and an
expedition filua Koine, when thu
party had landed for rest ami refresh
ment among a group of (ireclan Is
lands, and carried away the food from
the talde before them, and even at
tacked the men themselves.
Tho men then iirmei' themselves
with swords secretly and waited for
the next approach of the harpies
Intending to kill them when they cam(
near. Hut the nimble marauders
eluded nil their efforts as before.
When the expedition left tho Island
the leader of the harpies perched him
self upon a rock overlooking the scene
and In a human voice loaded Aeneas
and his companions with plows, and
escaped with their plunder, taunts and
execrations.
