Lovely Demi-Season Hats; Reveal Trend of the Styles JUST now js the between-season pe riod whefl most women think It is too late to bily a winter hat (unless It can be bought at a very great bar gain) and too early to determine on something for spring. But If their millinery needs sweetening up with something new, or they require the inspiration of new headwear, there is no lack of lovely between-season millinery, which sympathetic designers have thoughtfully made ready for them. Many of these hats have a flavor of spring. Belonging to the last class is crepe georgette, and a beautiful model made ?f it, In cyclamen pink, leads off the v , * .spirited hat, completed by a pair of black pins. The early displays of cloth anjJ crepe dresses for spring indicate that styles are traveling toward the picturesque and away from that which is severe. Even when little in the way of decoration appears on these forerunners of the spring mode, they have lines and eccentricities in the details of their finishing that point the direction of. the designer's fancy. Allegiance is divided between the straight silhouette and the fuller or circular skirt. The latter has more youthful line, but its appeal is not as universal as that of its popular rival ; " \V.

HINTS AND THINGS ' Lay a cloth dipped in cold water on the bottom of the cake tin, the cake will be easily re moved without sticking. Bits of cheese mixed with cream, a (lash of cayenne, and spread on crack ers, makes a nice dish to serve for luncheon. If a?child should get any foreign sub stance up his nose, do not try to probe for It, but put a bit of cayenne pepper on his lip under the other nostril; Jie will sneeze it out unless firmly lodged; In that case call a physician. When roasting meat a tablespoon ful of sugar added to the water when basting will add flavor and color to the roast and gravy. If fond of oysters add a little oyster liquor to a tomato bouillon; it greatly Improves the flavor. All silver should be washed and dried as soon after~using as possible. Always dry graniteware away from the stove, as it will chip and crack if set to dry as one does tin or aluminum. Put zinc filings or pieces of zinc on the coals in the furnace; It will clean the chimney of soot. Vanilla should never be used to flavor fried foods, such as doughnuts or crullers; nutmeg or other spices are appropriate. Keep old stocking legs if you are a mover, to slip on over table legs, chair legs and other furniture to protect from scratching. Even a small ckJt'k is often annoy ing in a sick room. Cover it with an inverted glass bowl. The time can be eeen and the sound eliminated.

Horticultural Hints CULTIVATION IS IMPORTANT Fruit Trees Need Attention Same at Any Other Growing Crop to Save Moisture. It Is just as essential to cultivate fruit trees as any other growing crop. Sometimes the trees are plowed In the spring and left the rest of the year without any further care, so far as cultivation is concerned. An exception is where a cultivated crop is growing between the trees. While trees are young, a cultivated row crop may be grown between the trees as long as it does not compete.' with the trees for the same moisture and plant food. Therefore, each year as the trees grow, move the crop further away from the ^rees and when the trees are well into bearing cease growing a spring crop among the trees at all, writes D. C. Mooring in the Kansas Farmer, Mall and Breeze. A soil that is well cultivated ' will accomplish the following things 1 ? Catch much more moisture, InWuding rains and snows; 2 ? Conserve * the moisture; 3 ? Keep down grass aijd weeds; 4 ? Aerate the soil, that is,. per mit free air circulation, which is necessary to the life and development of the roots. The first cultivation ir\ the spring Bivould be four or five inches deep with whatever available tool ^s at hand. Be careful not to skin the trees. N In case your" trefcs a re growing in the yard, where it is not practicable to use horse power in cultivation, a spade, shovel, or hoe may be used. Where a hand tool is used loosen the soil under t lye tree and at least a foot <>r more beyond the extent of the limbs. The cultivation should begin in early spring and continue until midsummer under normal conditions and during the dry season the cultivation should A Well-Cultivated Peach Orchard. continue until the last of the summer. After the first cultivation, which is the deep one, the other cultivation should be merely to establish a soil mulch. RAT CLEAN-UP IS EFFECTIVE Biological Survey Shows Costly Re suits in Leaving Breaks in Basement Walls. The bad results of carelessness In I leaving breaks in the basement walls j of a building originally Intended to be rat-proof are shown In a case recently reported to the biological survey of the United States Department of Agricul ture. In the course of a rat campaign in Portland, Ore., in which the rodent control men from the department were j backed by the city bifreau of health I and the chamber of commerce, a build ing with unrepaired breaks of this sort was visited. The owner was advised to clean up all the rubbish in his base ment, repair the breaks In the cement \wr11, use barium carbonate on Ham burg steak to poison the rats, and also to set more traps. A few days later It was learned that in removing the trash three rat nests were uncovered, one of which contained 15 young. Twenty six adult rats were found dead the morning after the poison was spread. GOOD REASONS FOR PRUNING First Object Should Be to Remove Dead, Broken or Decayed Branches ? Cut Out Spurs. There are five reasons for pruning fruit trees. The first object is to re move the dead, broken or decayed branches. The operation may be done to remove the annual growth so that the habit of growth may be altered. Branches may be repioved to prevent the breaking of limbs or the disfigure ment of the tree in future years. Fruit spurs and branches may be removed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. One of the foremost pur poses Is to cut down the annual growth to reduce the crop In propor tion to .the capacity of the tree. Aligning Tree* In Orchard. - Too much care can't be taken In aligning trees In setting out an or chard. Time spent on this will gave a lot more time later on. Production Counts. It Isn't so much the number of trees In the orchard that coupts. It's what those trees produce. Benefits of 8pray Outfit.

WITTY WITCH'S CALLERS "I am so glad,** said Witty Witch, "that you all decided to come to my cave this after noon and to have hot cocoa and bread and butter and cookies. "Of course I know you come to see me, too, but then it will be nkv on a cold winter's afternoon like this to have some pleasant refresh ments. "I'm always glad to see all my friends, and I'm giad that people know now that old Witty Witch is a dear friendly old soul who loves children and animals and fairies and elves and goblins and brownies, and all!" I , The fairies, nnd brownies and elves I and goblins had all come this after j noon to call on Witty Witch. Her cave I was hardly big enough to hold them all | but there were lots of rockg outside I and many of them waoted to play i games and have frolics. , "We saw so many interesting sights ^bn our way here," said Rillie. Brownie. "Yes," said Bennie Brownie, "we saw a horse walking along the streets of the village making paths with -a snow plow. "He was. picking his way along very carefully so he wouldn't fall down or get lost in the snow ! Of course he really wouldn't have done that but it was fun to s<je him. "The children all laughed to see the horse walking along on the sidewalks and the horse looked rather surprised himself to be on the. sidewalk. I think." "And oh," said Blllle Brownie, "we saw such big icicles. One was hang ing down the side of a house and it reached halfway down the house and there was another one opposite and these two icicles were boasting of how f heavy and strong and beautiful they were ! "Such lovely winter scenes as we did see." Dillie continued. "I saw t child with a new sled. The sled had been a Christmas present and the sled went rather slowly at first for it was a bit stiff. "Then I watched the child coasting and I saw that the sled was going faster and faster each trip ? getting used to it. I suppose." "It was prMmhly a bit shy at first," said Witty Witch, "and became more friendly ard playful afterwards.* "No doubt, no doubt," grinned Billie Brownie. "And I sr.w two hens as I looked into a barn window to have a peep at the animals," said Efiie Elf. "They were having a fine old argument as to whether Mown eggs or white eggs were better. "How they did cackle and talk about it. One hen was Airs. White Leghorn, i I believe, and she Was all for the white eggs. "The other was Mrs. Rhode Island ! Red Hen and she was for brown eggs. "They didn't come to any decision and at the end of the cackle-chat neither agree J with the other for each was sure she was right." "W? saw such gay and merry coast ing parties," said Fairy Ybab. "And i last night, Witty Witch, we watched a j star which was up in the sky quite properly, and over the lake nearby. It I was very, very bright; brighter than the others, and it told us it had Just taken a prize in brightness in the Sfcy School ! "The Moon was wearing his. full dress suit aud there were coasting parties on the hill. Then I peeked into houses and saw people around tires warming themselves after they had been coasting. "I watched -ots of coasting parties* and what hills they did go down! Al ways In the ? fil ter of the hills rhe sleds seemed to go ~ faster and t'asler ? how they flew, it seemed ! "And the diirk trees made beauti ful shadows. Mr. Wind was clear i*nd fine and every one's voice sound ed the same way. "Oh, last night In the moonlight and the starlight there were mafty coasting parties." "Now we must have our refresh- ?Wa Mu#t Hav0 ineDts." said Wit- ?

(Prepared by the United Statea Department of Agriculture.) Breaking eggs and preventing break age of eggs are both at times the con cern of persons engaged in the egg business. The United States Depart ment of Agriculture also has taken an interest in these problems and has pub lished information on methods and practices. Although the bulletins were first issued a few years ago, the de partment's recommendations to ship pers and to persons planning the in stallation of breaking plants are good today. Several thousand copies are now available for distribution, Per sons writing for copies should ask for Department Bulletin Gt>4, The Preven " ** ? ? ? .. m V ment Bulletin GO, 'J, The Installation and Equipment of an Egg-Breaking Plant. Other bulletins of a similar nature, all prepared by the bureau of chemis try, are available for distribution. The following is a complete list, with the exception of those mentioned above: Department Bulletin 224, A Study of the , Preparation of Frozen and Dried Eggs in the Producing Section ; De paftment Bulletin 891, Accuracy in Commercial Grading of Opened Eggs; Department Bulletin .r>65, How to Can dle Eggs; Department Bulletin 17, Thp Comparative Bate of Deeoinpo MHwHMjr' | J?ggs Pacl^d in a Carton, of This Kind Are Quite Secure From Breakage. sitlon in Drawn and Undrawn Market Poultry. !' In addition, the department hns three circulars on eggs: No. 25, Points for Egg Buyers, including what to sell, what to buy, how to candle, and egg ; candling devices; No. 55, How to Load Cars of Eggs; and No. 74, How to j Break Eggs for Freezing. PROMOTE HEALTH OF FLQCKS ' Much Good Can Be Accomplished by Spraying Runways and Houses With Lye Solution. Every poultry raiser knows that fo^ls thrive best la clean, well venti lated places. By keeping the houses, roosts, nests and runways sprayed with a concentrated lye solution you will do a great deal toward promot ing good health and productiveness among your poultry. Many of the most successful poultry raisers use this lye solution around their poultry houses at least every other week. The solution Is made by dissolving a small can of lye iiji five gallons of water. A sprinkling can, hand spray, or an old whisk broom may be \ised to apply the solution. AVOID EXCITEMENT IN PENS Poultrymen Wilh Save Several Eggs Every Day by Observing Rules of Silence. Whistling, or speaking gently, or knocking on the door to let the hens know when he Is coming will save the poultryman several eggs in the day's gathering, says Prof. Willard C. Thompson, poultry husbandman of the New Jersey expedient station, In a circular issued on "The Winter Time Management of the Laying Flock.'* Fright, he continues, Is often fatal to and always interferes with normal egg production. Hence the necessity of having the poultryroan move slowly so as not to cause excitement in the pens. CHANGE NEST LITTER OFTEN Hena Pull Out Material and It Be comes Broken and Packed ? Danger of Broken Egg. Every few weeks the best of neat will need more litter. The heris 'pul . It ^ out and It becomes broken anu packed down until a bare spot of boards may ? appear in the middle. This increases the danger of a broken egg, which. may In turn smear half a 4oxen food ohm.
