Clover is a good orchard crop.
Cut out the old cane from the rasp
berry bushes and burn.
Lambs need plenty of clean cool wa
ter. See that they get It.
The fence corners often tell what
kind of a farmer is running the farm.
Well-bred and well-kept are two im
portant considerations when consider
ing a horse.
Treat the surplus runners on the
strawberry vines as weeds. Don't for
get to cultivate.
Good tillage not only increases the
available supply of food of the soil,
but it conserves- the moisture.
Look after the young trees you set
out this spring. Keep them growing
light. Care now will prevent troubles
later.
Pasture the cows at night and
keep in the barn during the heat of
the day. Needless to say the barn
should be screened.
The profitable orchard must be the
well-kept orchard, for nothing is apt
to prove profitable on the farm if it
is not properly managed.
The garden is now yielding its 'daily
offering" to the table and how good
things taste! My. aren't you glad you
took the time to get it started?
Feed the young chickens well. Al
most impossible to overfeed. How
ever, do not waste the feed by giv
ing more than they will eat up clean.
Sheep return more fertility to the
soil than any other animal, and when
you consider that they distribute the
fertilizer without additional cost you
can give the sheep an extra credit
mark.
Make it a point to leave the farm
machines under cover after finishing
the day's work. A storm may come
up and a few days of exposure to bad
weather cuts short' their days of use
fulness. If you want to keep the boy on the
farm make it a point to enlist his
interest. Ask his advice, talk things
over and make him feel that he is an
active factor in the responsibilities of
the farm and a sharer in the profits
and benefits.
When we were at the state fair
last year an auto did the lively stunt
of dragging the race course before ev
ery race. This suggests the idea of
setting the autos to work on the coun
try roads and letting them pull the
log drags. They can do the work
quicker and better than a team.
Might be a good idea to penalize some
of these speeders by making them
drag a stretch of road instead of pay
ing a fine.
In feeding the calves cleanliness is
essential to thrifty growth. Together
with a proper supply of skim milk
and a little grain the growing calf
should have access to a good grass
plot, one that provides in plenty a
variety of grasses ami clovers if pos
sible. If two or more pastures can
be used, so much the better, for then
the growing grass can be kept in
the thriftiest and most palatable con
dition for the youngster. Shade of
some kind should always be handy
for the calf. He will not do well if
obliged to endure the tortures of the
sun. Bodily comfort has much to
do with thrift in any animal. It re
quires care and attention to details
to properly grow a calf by hand. But
when properly done, hand feeding will
keep him in a thrifty growing, condi
tion and at the end of the year he
will not compare unfavorably with
his brethren that ran with their
dams.
Corn root worms are a pest in some
sections, and about the only effective
remedy is rotation of crops. The
beetles of the corn root worms usual
ly deposit their eggs in the old infest
ed fields and by changing the corn
from such a field to another, which
was not in corn, the preceding yea?
these eggs win be left behind! There
are two kinds of the worms: the
northern and the southern. The north
ern form of the root worm injts adult
stage is a plain, grass-green beetle,
t about one-fifth of an inch long, 'in the
tall these small green beetles are com
mon objects on the silk of the corn
and the flowers of the golden rod. The
spotted beetle of the southern corn
root-worm is frequently found along
with the plain green beetle. The
, -beetles deposit their tiny eggs in the
soil near the stalks of corn. The next
year these -eggs hatch out young root
worma which begin to attack the corn
almpetas .soon as it is' out of the
r ground. Throughout the summer these
northern corn root-worms are at work
on the roots, until the worms become
fall crown In the late summer. When
they become mature they transform
to the -pupa, or resting stage, in which
stage they spend a short time. Finally
the .plain green beetle emerges from
this pupa. The beetles then deposit
their eggs for another crop of root
worms for the next year. As far as Is
known, there is bnt one breed of this
form in a season.
Orchard trees dos't like vet feet.
Careful that' you do not' overfeed
the young pigs.
The rats like a; toothsome chick.
Watch out for them:
Give the livestock relief from the
flyjiest by the use of some kind of
spray.
V
t
Half-starved hens show a poor idea
of economy. Better overfeed than un
derfeed. A small grain ration to- pigs on pas
ture will more than pay by extra rap
id growth.
If the chickens are confined to a
run, be sure that grits and lime are
provided for them.
Prof. Bailey says the trinity of or
thodox apple growing is cultivation,
fertilization and spraying.
During the threshing time gather
up the chaff and keep for -the chick
ens to scratch in next winter.
The sow pigs should be gone over
and selections made for future breed
ers. Pick only the biggest and the
most thrifty looking.
At the Wisconsin experiment sta
tion lambs of fed pea silage made
large profits during an experiment last
winter. Worth a trial by farmers.
Begin to cull out the old stock.
Don't wait too long. If you do there
will be little sale for them." for the
young stock will command the mar
ket. The dunking water for the fowls
should be kept ia the shade and
should be so arranged as to prevent
the chickens from fouling it in any
way.
Alfalfa and clover are not only espe
cially rich, in protein but have a good
proiortion of lime so that they are nov
only muscle builders but bone builders
as well.
It is said that an old horse collar
buckled snugly., around the neck of
the cow that sucks'nerself will prove
an effectual check to the pernicious
practice.
The Veil-fed horse ought to be sleek
if properly brushed. A little linseed
meal fed occasionally helps to smooth
the coat. Wipe with a damp cloth
after brushing.
Now do keep the hen house clean.
It may make the lice and mites un
comfortable, but not so the hens.
They will return you good pay in in
creased egg yield.
It is a good plan to water the horses
as soon as they come in from the field,
if not too warm, then let them eat
hay for half an hour or so and then
give the grain feed.
A good cultivation during the dry
spell is as good as a rain storm, for
it puts a mulch upon the top which
keeps the moisture in the soil from
evaporating and makes it more avail
able for the plants.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to farm
crops than when applied to orchards;
yet they can be used with good re
sults, particularly when rejuvenating
old orchards.
Rape sown in the cornfield at its
last cultivation, using about four
pounds of seed per acre, will provide
an immense amount of good .sheep for
age in a normal season and until No
vember or later.
Provide a shelter for the sheep
where they can take refuge from the
rain, or bring them to the barn and
feed them there. In this way you
will prevent colds which cause diar
rohea and consumption, and cause
loss to the farmer.
In cleaning milk dishes try the fol
lowing method: First wash them with
warm water, containing a good wash
ing powder. A brush should be used.
Then they should be scalded with boil
ing water and turned upside down to
dry. Wiping the dish with the ordin
ary dish-towel should be condemned,
as it undoes the effects of the boiling
water, and the heat of the dishes im
mersed In hot water is sufficient to
dry them. The rays of the sun will
also dry the dishes and destroy any
bacteria.
" ' Leghorns are good foragers because
they are light birds and get about
quickly. They, roam much farther
afield than some of the heavier breeds.
They are thus cheaper to keep on
a farm than some of the breeds that
show an inclination to hang about
the barns and sheds and wait for
feeding time. Besides, they are more
useful from the standpoint of insect
destroyers. This Is a matter of con
siderable importance in 'some years
when the grasshoppers are very nu
merous. The forgers getTa better qual
ity food than the birds that depend on
getting grain feed, for the reason that
insects are" very rich in nitrogen.
For the general farm, it is doubtful
if any breeds excel .the Leghorns, so
far as looking out for themselves is
concerned.
Frequently you will see cows stand
ing in a pool of stagnant, dirty water,
and they will cover their sides, flanks
and udders with germ-laden water,
which finds its way into the milk in
the shapeof fine dust, unless the at
tendant is extremely 'careful ia milk
ing. It should not be too much trou
ble to wipe with a damp-cloth the ad
der and flank of the cow before she
is milked, for the old saying, "What
was' crooked the Lord made straight,"
does not apply to milk. If you get
bacteria into the milk by unsanitary
methods you cannot remove them. Tou
know the consuming public has the
right to object'to milk containing fer
tilizing material, rich in phosphoric
acid and ammonia, and that they hare
the right to demand milk rich In but
ter fat and other milk solids.
A CLEMEhT- BAYARD
Will the Grande Semalne Aeronau
tique de la Champagne fixed for Aug
ust 22 to 29 be a success or a fiasco?
That question is being hotly debated
in England and othercountries by all
who take an interest in aerial toco
motion. It is evident that the success
of the great event must depend very
largely on the condition of the at
mosphere. Unless another marked im
provement is made in flying-machines
within the next two months, enabling
them to live In a much stronger breeze
than they can face at the present mo
ment, a windy week would prove dis
astrous to the enterprise. Every pru
dent aviator would keep his-aeroplane
boxed up in its shed rather than run
the risk of having it wrecked. No
doubt the prizes are tempting. For
the Grand Prix de la Champagne et
de la Ville de Rheims (the long-distance
competition) there are six, of
which the first is $10,000, the second.
$5,000; the third. $2,000. and the three
others $1,000 each; but to make it
worth while to attempt to gain any
one or them by remaining In the air
one. two, three or four hours, the at
mosphere must be calm. For this
contest the organizing committee has
left the competitors the choice, in
the order established by the drawing
of lots, of the moment for their start
during the three days Sunday.
Wednesday and Friday, August 22.
25 and 27, between 9 a.m. and S p. m.
But it depends ou the decisional the
controlling committee of the Aero
club of France whether more than
one aeroplane will be permitted In the
air over the ten-kilometer (six and one-
fourth miles) circuit at the same time.
It is all the more important that, if
they are numerous, several competi
tors should be permitted to make their
trial together, because, though nom
inally extended over three whole
days, the time is In reality short.
To start on this enterprise with a rea
sonable chance of success the weath
er must not be blustery and the wind
not blowing with a velocity exceeding
25 kilometers (15 miles) an hour;
and there is not more than one chance
in three that such a propitious condi
tion of the atmosphere will prevail
during the whole or even half of any
one of the three days indicated in
the program for the competition, or, at
any rate, between the hours of 9
a. m. and 5 p. m. That stipulation,
made with the object of enabling the
paying public to return to Paris,
Rheims, Chalons, etc.. in good time
for dinner, must militate against the
chances of the aviators to distinguish
themselves. The same remarks apply
with greater force to the regulations
of the Prix de Vitesse (the speed con
test) over 20 kilometers (19 miles),
for which the start has to be made
either between 1 p. m. and 4 p. m.
on Monday. August 23. or between 1
p. m. and 3 p. m. on Sunday, August
29. It is just between those hours
of the day that there is the least
chance of the atmosphere being calm.
I- owever, the higher the speed of the
aeroplane the less effect the wind has
'on it The competition for the special
record of the circuit (ten kilometers,
or six and one-fourth miles) is nom
inally open dring the whole week,
the competitors being free to make
their trials at any and every moment
between 9 a. m. and 6 p. m. when
the circuit is not otherwise occupied.
It is probable that it will generally,
it not always, be otherwise occupied
when, the atmosphere is calm. But
the aviators are granted the advan
tage of their time in covering the ten
kilometers in other competitions be
ing counted for this prizs. As .for the
three other events on the program,
they are down for fixed days and
hours. The passenger-carrying 'com
petition is to come off on Monday.
August 23. between 4 p. m. and C
p. m., the altitude contest Is fixed
for 3 p. m. on Sunday, August 29, and
the Gordon Bennett Aviation cup, an
international speed competition over
jjdlometers (12 miles), is to re
main oenthe whole of Saturday,'
August 28. till 5 p. m. After what has
been already said, it is needless to
insist on the possibility, if not the
probability, of the condition of the
atmosphere interfering with the suc
cess of these competitions.
There are in the regulations a rew
other stipulations which are open to
criticism. For instance, in the pas-
THE LAW OF
Its Enactment Would .Do Much to
Stop Cowardly Practice of
Some Chauffeurs.
Newspapers have reported in the
last few months many instances where
an automobile struck a pedestrian or
a vehicle, inflicting serious or fatal
personal injuries, and instantly sped
onward so that the machine or its
driver was not identified. Legislators
can do something to discourage that
practice by enacting a statute similar
to the act of congress of September
4. 1S90, chapter 875, 2 Federal Stat.
AnnoL, page 202, which requires that
the master or person in charge of a
vessel in collision with another shall,
"so far as he can do so without seri
ous danger," etc, "stay by the other
vessel, render assistance if needed,
give the name of his vessel and her
port of registry," etc.. and provides
that "If he fails to do so, and no rea
sonable cause for such failure is
shown, the collision shall. In the ab
sence of proof to the contrary, be

senger-carrying trials each passenger
must weight at least 03 kilogrammes
(143 pounds), which is not excessive;
but the pilot is not to be permitted
to substitute ballast for living. freight
It seems unnecessary to impose on the
aviator the necessity of risking any
other life than bis own, especially
as very few of the existing aeroplanes
are built to accommodate passengers,
though capable of carrying consider
able weight if properly distributed
over the machine so as not to inter
fere with its-stability. -. Then to fix
the altitude competition at exactly
3 p. m. on Sunday, August 29, is al
most equivalent to cancelling it alto
gether. There are at least ten
chinccs to one that the state of the
atmosphere at thai particular moment
will not be propitious for the difficult
and perhaps dangerous enterprise.
There is another regulation which If
not modified may militate against the
success of the great aviation week.
Contrary to custom at most sporting
meetings, if only one competitor starts
to seek to win the prize he will get
none, and if two start it is only the
first who will be rewarded, even if
there are half a dozen prizes at
tached to the event, as is the case in
the long-distance competition. In co
case will the last man receive a prize,
even if being alone he is first with a
"fly over." or second, or third, etc.
And it may happen that the pilot on
starting will imagine he will be fol
lowed by a dozen others. He may
achieve a great feat by remaining in
the air a very long time, beatine all
records of time, distance and altitude.
yet if a strong breeze should then
spring up and prevent the other avia
tors rrom starting he would get noth
ing. It is. however, true that the
controlling committee is empowered
by the regulations to permit, if it
thinks fit. the simultaneous flight of
two or several machines.
Then there is the Gordon Bennett
cup. which is the great international
event of the week, though all ths
other competitions are open to avia
tors of every country without excep
tion. In this case there is no restric
tion concerning the payment of the
money prize of $5,000 to the success
ful pilot, .even if he should have a
"fly over." or concerning the award
ing of the cup to his club; but the
chances of all the competitors being
equally favored by the state or the at
mosphere are very small. The cham
pions or the various nations, and there
are three English, three French, three
Italian, one American and one Aus
trian, are to start one after the other
in th order nf thpir Inta Tn tho .
of all the 11 champions presenting1
themselves, and of only one being per
mitted in the air at a time, the com
petition would last at least five and
one-half hours, because it is not ex
cessive to allow half an hour for the
start and the flight of 12 miles, it
is therefore probable that several
champions will be permitted to be in
the air at the same time, especially as
it is extremely rare that there are
five and one-half hours in a day. be
tween 9 a. m. and 5. p. . m. during
which the atmosphere is sufficiently
calm to permit of successful aeroplane
flights.

Even without such a statute, however,
.the conduct thus denounced would
probably be treated by a judge or
jury as a prima facie confession of
dereliction. But the act of congress
also imposes "a penalty of $1,000 or
imprisonment for a term not exceed
ing two years" for violation of the
provisions above quoted. From Law

A House' Party
Invitations to this party were sent
out on postcards on which there was
a snap-shot of' the hostess' new home.
It was a delightful t affair, with unique
touches that' a clever" entertainer al
ways contrives .to- give her little par
ties, no matter how informal.
After the dozen chosen friends had
arrived and -duly admired the cozy
porch with its furnishings of green,
the maid appeared with cold beverages,
which the hostess poured; then she
told them she wanted their very best
ideas regarding house building; that
for the two best plans there were
prizes. J
Paper and pencils were passed and
a half hour alotted for the architects
to turn in their creations. The result
was deliehtful. Each mm was allowed
five minutes to explain the merits of
her plan. Some remarkably clever
ideas were developed ''and much un
suspected talent reveriled. The prizes
were subscriptions well-known mag
azines devoted to household affairs,
and the favors were tiny wooden Jap
anese houses filled with bonbons. For
refreshments there were canteloupes
filled with New York ice cream, iced
tea and dain'ty English biscuit.
In a week or two this same hostess
will entertain the same people, and
they wilj "furnish" the houses planned
at this party.
It may be readily seen how delight
ful this exchange of ideas is and how
-alRftit keeps one in observing the
best arrangement of all rooms. The
making of a real home should be the
highest aim. of every woman. By
that, I mean a home where the needs
of each individual are looked out for
with the best effect possible.
A New Bonnet Party.
A hostess sent invitations to 20 of
her friends asking them to see an ex
hibition of imported French millinery
at her home on the date specified. On
the, top of the invitation was a tiny
figure in ,a perfectly enormous hat.
Every one wondered what they were
to find and awaited the day with keen
curiosity. They were not disappointed,
for the large living room was ar
ranged like a millinery shop; a pretty
maid in cup with a long ribbon bow
and a beruffled apron fluttered about
speaking broken English with a
charming French accent, and the
hostess was in a trailing gown of un
mistakable ' French manufacture.
Around the room on hat forms were
indescribable head coverings, made
from waste-paper baskets, chopping

of laughter as they tried on the bur

approved manner.
The dearest little hats made of

maids in French costumes. The hos
tess said paste, glue, nails, huge pins
and linen thread were used in con
structing the display of headgear, and
really the joke bats looked about as
well as the monstrosities shown in
the shops and actually worn by wom
en who consider themselves lost to
the world if not adorned with the very
latest head covering regardless of the
fact that it may be most unbecoming.
A Basket Shower.
Did you ever happen to think how
many varieties of baskets there are?
I never did until my attention was
called to the fact by a novel basket
shower given for a September bride
tojbe. The hostess asked each guest to
bring a basket of some description.
As the 24 guests were all intimate
friends they consulted among them
selves, so the selections made did
not include duplicates. There was a
stunning brown Wistaria waste bas
ket; one of same weave to hold fruit;
a market basket made by a Dutcb
peasant; a clothes basket; tiny cov
ered basket to hold a thimble. This
was in a round work basket, that also
had a scissors shield woven to match.
There was a clothes hamper, and a
cunning covered basket with a handle,
just large enough to hold a lunch for
two.
To go with these baskets there was
a tea or coffee rest woven of sweet
grass to use when serving on the
porch, and quaint wall holders in
which a tumbler could be inserted to
hold wild flowers. The honored guest
was perfectly delighted with this
shower, for it turned out that baskets
was one of her hobbies. By the way,
lately I have found so many people
basket craiy. some of the younger
women actually taking lessons of the
Indians who come to summer resorts
selling the pretty creations they have
made during the long winter months
on the reservations.

India print enters largely into the
decorator's scheme for summer cot
tages. With willow furniture and pat
terned chintz has come the demand
for quaint bedspreads and in many
country homes they are made oi
chintz to match the long window hang
ings. Where white curtains have
been chosen and where other flowered
surfaces have been avoided, the bed
spread of blue and white India print
will give an air of distinction to the
entire room. This material is de
lightfully cool in weight and in finish
and is one of the best known tub ma
terials. It has been known to wash
for 20 years without loss of color; but
why should not the far-famed dyes of
the orient outlast our later efforts?
