S!.I0N -V xi x v - - V V w-fitrU x,SifX ! : 'TT vs1 A Load of Cream at a Prepard by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Most of the surplus butter from the farm cow in the South is exchanged for groceries at the country store. On account of poor quality, unattractive packages, and irregular supply, the prices received for this butter are very low. Bulletins explaining how the housewife can make good butter and how to put it into attractive packages may be obtained without cost by ap plying to the department of agricul ture. Washington, D. C. Purchasers of butter like to buy from persons who can furnish it the year round. Usually the market for farm butter is oversupplied during the summer season. This is because cows g?nernly freshen in the spring aud thus furnish a greater supply of butter throughout the summer, when grass and green feed are abundant, than at any other time of the year. For this reason the price of butter is lowest in summer and highest in winter. To take advantage of these conditions farmers should have their cows fresh en in the fall; this would tend to equalize the supply of butter through out the year. In many cases no great effort is made to find a good market for the larm butter. Too often nearby gro cery stores are regarded as the only market possibility. Boarding houses, women's clubs, hotels and restau rants, and private families, not only In the home towns but in surrounding towns, should be canvassed and a sam ple of the butter exhibited. In this way a good market for farm butter may be secured if the butter is of good quality and can be supplied reg ularly. The frequency of delivery will de pend upon the demand of the trade. : WrHMViiMiW M., A Fancy Container for lis family can without inconvenience deliver the butter to the purchasers. When those who have butter to Bell can not deliver it to distant purchas- j ers they should investigate the oppor tunities offered by the parcel post service. Cream obtained by running the "Varm whole milk through a cream jSeparator is a very convenient form in which to market the product of cows. Less equipment and labor are required for this method than if but ter Is made. For handling cream it is necessary 'to have a separator, shipping cans, ieome appliances for heating water to ta'ash utensils, and some means for fcoollng the cream. : Cream if not properly taken care of Is easily spoiled. Directions for tak ing the proper care of milk and cream are described in a circular which is sent free by the department of agri culture. Since the fat is the most valuable (part, cream is usually sold according jto the pounds of fat it contains. For etermlning the percentage of fat In earn the Babcock test, which is a imple process, is used. Small sam let of cfeam are tested and the per- entage of fat shown is multiplied by ;he weight of the cream from which e sample Is taken. For example, if sample of cream from a can con taining 40 pounds is found to test 25 percent, the pounds of butterfat are found by multiplying 40 by 0.25, which is ten pounds. The persons iuying the cream generally do the ismptyng and testing. Hotels, restaurants, railroad eating houses, soda fountains, and ice cream manufactories offer markets for fresh iwset rcream. Such markets require a high "class product of uniform qual ity and ' dependable supply delivered it regular intervals. ,. This makes it aeefssary' for farmers who supply reh markets, to have good transporta tion facilities. . . Tim market for cream within reach lit Southern Creamery. of the largest number of farmers Is the creamery. This furnishes a con stant demand for cream, whether In large or small quantities. There are three ways of getting cream to the creamery or shipping point: 1. Each farmer may haul his own cream. 2. Farmers in a community may take turns in hauling their cream. S. A man may be employed to haul all the cream regularly and each farm er may pay for this service according to the amount of cream he sells. The third method is on the same principle as the rural free delivery of mail matter. Under this system the hauler at regular intervals comes to the farmer's door, gets the cream, and takes it to the creamery or shipping point. The cream is weighed, sam pled, and poured into a carrying can in the wagon. The samples and rec ords of weights are sent to the cream ery. Routes may be established closs to the creamery, and the cream deliv ered direct, or they may be estab lished at distant points and the cream delivered to a central station for ship ping to the creamery. Subroutes may radiate from points on the main route and thus cream can be collected from a wide area. In communities In which Interest In selling cream is Just being aroused and where there is not cream enough produced to pay for having it collected each day, the cream can be kept from day to day and collected twice a week In winter and three times In summer. Where this is practiced the farmers must use ice to keep the cream as cold as possible, or place the cans In spring or well water. Unless extra care Is taken to produce the cream In the most cleanly manner, and unless It is . ... a High Grade Product kept thoroughly cold at all times, this method is not advisable. The shipping of cream compels the farmer to have a separator. The cost of the separator is often discouraging to the man who has only two or three cows, and who, but for this expense, could sell a small amount of cream. This, however, need not prevent the purchase of a separator, as some com panies sell their machines for a small cash payment, the remainder to be paid in monthly or bimonthly install ments. This enables the farmer to let the cows pay for the separator. Again, in the case of several farm ers living near one another, one sepa rator, centrally located, can be UBed by all. The central separator offers a splendid opportunity for land owners to encourage their tenants to keep cows. Even if the tenants have only small quantities of milk, it -vill bring more money in the form of cream than if the milk were churned and the butter sold. Carrying the milk to the separator is also less trou ble than making the butter. In sections where cream can be mar keted, routes 'operated in some such wav an dpsorihed are to be commend ed, provided the cream is produced I anit handled nrnnorlv an thp.V enable the farmer to procure a steady cash income from his cows by providing a market at his door. Early Start for 8trawberrles. Strawberry plants, like fruit trees, should be set at the earliest possible moment In spring. The variety select ed should be one that has proved good in yonr locality: if you experiment with new varieties let it be on a small scale. Remember, too, that the vari ety recommended as a good shipper is not the best for home use. Some of the most delicious berries are too soft to stand shipping, but cannot be ex celled for home consumption. Incubator Always Ready. Incubators can lie kept always in hatching order, but not the hen. mgt ; , fc15! I Dress of Whits 811k With Black Lace Tunic Trimmed With Fur. Corsage of Whits Beaded Net With Black Beaded Flowers. GOING BACK TO THE RUFFLE Is Again to Be In Vogue for Under garments as Well as for the Overskirt. Just as we have altered or given away all the voluminous petticoats with which we used to buoy out our frocks when skirts were full. Dame Fashion sends out the edict that fluffy ruffles are once more in vogue for un dergarments, as well as for oversklrts. So while petticoats will still be fitted rather closely over the hips they will once more be added to our list of nec essary undergarments, both as part of a combination garment and in con Junction with a still fluffier camisole. The latter have little frills at the waist line much like the waist worn over them, but when they are much be-ruf-fled they are usually of net or other thin fabric. Come what styles may we are forever divorced from the clumsy undergarments of our grandmothers which were doubtless made for warmth as well as for style, but beau ty and comfort in walking were cer tainly not considered except in the way of exquisite handwork, such as pinking and minute tucks which we find it difficult to surpass today in spite of our more elaborate embroid eries. Speaking of pinking, it is a wonder that in our search for the an tique we have not resurrected this o!d method of edging. Time was when baby's outfit, the debutante's finery, the pantelettes of the school girl and the bride's trousseau were considered incomplete without plenty of the quaint pointed edge with its micro scopic overseaming. WHITE ALWAYS IN ORDER Woman Makes No Mistake When She .Supplies Herself With Many Gar ments of That Color. In looking ahead for summer sewing, it is usually the white things which are undertaken first, partly because the materials for these do not vary so much from year to year and partly one has usually very definite ideas as to how many skirts and blouses and tail ored linens one will need, whereas a little more thought is required before laying iu colored cottons. For morn ing wear out of town, be it at the sea side or in the mountains, there is noth ing smarter and cooler looking than a white skirt and blouse. It may be more expensive to have them laun dered irequently, but they do not soil so readily out of the city and even if they do they iaunder so well and so many times that in the end they are far from being an extravagant luxury. For the woman of limited income the white skirt and blouse are invaluable and she can clothe herself for little cost if she has a good waist pattern and can embroider her sheer waists herself. With one or two fine blouses for better wear and a few tailored, or as near tailored waists as they are wearing now, she can be suitably clad for almost any informal occasion that she may encounter provided that she is immaculate and is Just as particular about her shoes and stockings. DICTATES OF FASHION The braiding on velvet gowns is most elaborate. A straight line at the base of the neck ia decidedly trying. Orange blossom girdles are a fea ture on the new bridal robes. Much in demand will be the buttons of brass, silver and steel. Sashes now often mold the hips, but require the greatest care in arrange ment .Half and half stockings are new and striking, the upper part of these new stockings are in decided contrast to the lower part In the coming season there will be a great deal of black millinery braid used, also neutral shades and shades matching the dress goods. Jabots In Favor. Jabots are returning to us from the Ions ago, because they suit most worn en, and ;ive an alt of distinction to many dresses that need some allevia tion from somberness. .

BATH AS AID TO BEAUTY Various Preparations That Add to the Ploasure and Usefulness of "the Tub." Lives there a woman who does not want a luxurious bath with something In it that leaves the skin soft, smooth, white and scented? If so, she makes a great mistake, for there is nothing more potent for beauty purposes than the all-over warm bath. When it has something sweet in it something you know is going to improve your looks It acts like a charm, for both the senses and the imagination count with beautifying tricks. Common oatmeal, the coarse, cheap sort that is bought in bulk, and bran are materials any homk that is not in the wilderness can have and with the use of either one of these a bath that is reviving to both looks and nerves can be had for less than five cents. Either medium Is put in a cheesecloth bag four or six inches square, the fill ing rather loose thai) packed, and one of these, or more as liked, is agitated in the warm water until It looks a little thick and milky. Oatmeal used in this way makes a specially delightful bath, definitely whitening to the skin after a while and imparting to H a satin softness and the most subtle fragrance. The bran is a shade less useful, but a bath with it leaves the sense of delicious cleanliness. For whitening and softening the face skin, boil two ounces of pearl bar ley in a quart of water, strain and after taking off the soil apply this to the flesh with little pattlnga and sous ings as if the skin were being rinsed. Barley water perfumed with many different scents, was one of the most prized cosmetics of the belles oMhe long ago, and many a quaint old letter tells of its use. It is still thought valuable enough to be Included in the list of the beautiflers of today. SOME TIPS THAT ARE TIMELY To Do Away With Rough Edges In Buttonholing Easy Way of Mak ing Holes In Whalebone. It is annoying to have the edges slightly rough when the nice button holing on your work is cut out. One good way to remedy this is to dip it In thin raw starch, then dry, sprinkle, iron and cut out carefully along the embroidered edges. And here's another tip. Should an embroidered or crocheted edge centerpiece raise in the middle, wash it, and when ironed start direct ly in the center and iron to. the edge. It will, if carefully done, remain per fectly flat. If you want to bead, cut or even make holes in whalebones it may be easily done if they are soaked for ten or fifteen minutes in hot water. Then they may be twisted Into any shape, tied and when dry they will retain the position desired. Old silk is the nicest thing to dust withj It makes things shine and leaves no lint behind. It is also excellent to use when cleaning windows and mir rors. , Simplicity for Girls. Simplicity is the keynote of young girls' fashions this year. The mats- rial may be rich and the tailoring ex pensive, but the effect must be incon spicuous and youthful. - . ' . Effect iyk Nov. 26, 191. -SOUTH BOUND, Na. j. Pbm. Dally Lv. Dante, Va 8 30 A.M.
