PASTURES TO SUSTAIN EVEN MILK FLOW |
Lingerie Hat of Cotton Embroidery
Within th* Fewer of Housewives t*
■ring Abeut Fro par Conditions—
Frequently Cook* Will Boll
Them Tee Long.
Nine-tenth* of tbe vegetable* sold In
tbe market* are too old; they are
peat the period of belt flavor. Thl* Is
especially true of pea* and bean*, both
string and lima. Many a traveler re-
turning from France and Italy haa
complained that the pea* and beana In
thoae countries are so superior to ours.
A* a matter of fact, we can and do
grow vegetables equally good, but we
pick them too late and cook them too
long
A majority of farmer* are more con-
cerned about the size of their vegeta-
bles than about their flavor, and wher*
a farmer or a merchant who knows
tries to market his produce at the per-
fect stage he Is apt to be criticised by
tbe Ignorant tor selling email vegeta-
bles.
Several years ago a farm was
started on the farm-to-famlly-hamper
Idea. Tbe owners of this farm knew
hoW thing* should be grown, and
when they should be harvested. Theli
stock was of the best, and every vege-
table was picked at the proper stage
Their hampers were a delight to con-
noisseurs; the vegetables were young,
fresh and of a perfect flavor. But from
a number of persons who never bad
tasted really young vegetables cam*
back complaints.
"The skins of the potatoes are ao
thin they are hard to peel." "The
peas and beans are not as large as we
can get In the market," etc.
This was before the vegetables had
been tasted; afterward there were no
complaints. The point is obvious; but
it serves to show the difficulties in the
way of procuring vegetables at their
beet. We never will get them until
housewives learn to demand them—to
refuse the large, mealy peas and beans
and accept only the young and succu-
lent.
In preparing vegetables, the average
cook boils them too long As a mat
ter of fact, many vegetables are better
steamed than boiled, as steaming pre
serves better their tlavor; but tbe dif-
ference Is hardly worth the extra trou-
ble entailed, ltut the extra trouble
due to watching the boiling vegetables
and taking them out when they are
cooked to perfectlou la well worth
while.
A majority of cooks let their vege-
tables boll from ten to twenty min-
utes longer than Is necessary, while
they prepare or serve other dishes.
Such cooks should be taught that tbe
flavor of boiled vegetables is destroyed
by overcooking, just aa aurely as Is
the flavor of meat or other dtshes. Io
brief, the cooking of vegetables Is as
much an art as any other culinary
branch They cannot, as many appear
to believe, be treated aa carelessly as
a pot of plain boiling water.

The- lingerie bat t* made of line,
■beer, cotUyi embroidery, lace or net,
and forma a special kind of midsummer
millinery which reappears each year
Tbe same kinds of embroideries and
lacea that are used for making lingerie
gowns or line underwear are used In
the construction of thla very elegant
millinery; hence tbe name by which
It la designated.
The lingerie hat has been in greatest
demand among those who require sev-
eral hate for each lesson, and Is one
of those type* made for the ‘‘exclus-
ive trade”—that Is, for those who can
afford to Indulge a teste for special
millinery to suit special seasons. They
ere by no means Inexpensive; but It
Is the work required to make them,
rather then the materials used, that
makes them bring very good prises.
Two lingerie hats shown In the pic-
ture given here are of the picturesque
type. At the MR * wide embroidery
of sheer batiste -la shirred over e frame
smoothly covered with chiffon. The
row of shirring (over e small cord) at
the base of th* crown forms e Trill
wider then th* brim of the frame,
which fells prettily beyond the brim
edge end drops more at th* heck than
elsewhere. Here, from under the
brim, loops end long ends of narrow
ribbon, in n light color, hang nearly to
the waist Ua*.
But the striking (ester* In thla hat
lies In the trimming. Two popples,
made of tbe embroidery with millinery
stamens at the center, are posed ex-
actly on top. This Is an audacious po-
sition, but warranted because of the
excellence and beauty of the flowers.
One cannot get In the picture the
sheernesa of the embroidery which
makes the blossoms look llko delicate
ghosts of tbe flaming flower they copy.
The second bat, of tbe small poke
bonnet type, la made of allover em-
broidery and narrow val lace. Tbe
frame la covered with blue crepe, and
thla forma a facing. The upper brim
and crown are of the embroidery In an
open pattern. A frill of narrow val
lace flnlahes the edge, end there la a
collar and hanging ends of black vel-
vet ribbon. Little clusters of pink
June rosea and blue forget-me-nots are
set about the base of the crown. Noth-
ing could be prettier, worn with the
midsummer frocks made of sheer
white cottons, or those that ere gayly
figured.

(By W. M. KELLY )
The time when dairy cattle can be
turned out In tbe summer tu shift for
themselves has passed. Under the best
conditions, the abundance of pasture
grass Is certain to decrease after the
middle of July, and Ita quality also de-
teriorates.
To sustain aa even flow of milk w*
must be prepared to supply additional
food. A milk flow, allowed to decrease
at this time, cannot be fully regained
until the cow again freshens
The cow that la giving milk, and
the growing heifer, suffer a severe
shock, from which they are slow to
recover If compelled to light tiles and
exist on semistarvatlon rations, In a
drought-stricken pasture.
Many dairy farmer* make the mis-
take of allowing the cows tu shrink In
their flow of milk, before lu-ginning to
feed the supplemental feeds.
Supplying these as soon as the pas-
ture begins to fall, makes the change
more gradual and Insures an even,
steady thrift of the cows, which is so
essential to sustaining a large flow of
milk.
Another very common mistake made
by many dairy farmers is that of feed-
ing a heavy grain ratlun to the cows
when a bare pasture Is their sole sup-
ply of rough food. Such roughage is
neither palatable nor abundant enough
to produce good results.
On the modern dairy farm where
corn, clover and alfalfa thrive. It is
unnecessary to plan an extensive and
complicated system of forage crops to
supplement the pastures.
The supply may be obtained by hold-
ing over ensllago*or by cutting clover
and alfalfa, and feeding them green
In liberal quantities.
Oats, peas, rye, barley and various
other crops, may be specially growu
for summer feeds, but none of these
crops will yield as much food a* corn,
clover, alfalfa and oate and peas that
are raised In tbe regular crop rota-
tion.
The only real advantage of grow-
ing the former feeds lies in the fact
that they may be sometimes raised on
land not used for growing the crops
In the regular rotation.
I believe It Ib generally unwise to
practice a complicated system of
growing catch crops, when it is pos-
sible to obtain equally g-"-d results
from the green feed supplied by the
regular field crops,
In actual practice I have depended
chiefly upon corn, oats and clover and
peaa for soiling purposes during the
summer, harvesting as much of each
crop green as was necessary to bal-
ance up the deficiency of paster*
grass.
The com ensilage has the advantage
of being at band tn case tbe drought
comes unusually early In the seaaon.
when It Is difficult to get soiling crops
to >rowing heavily enough. Corn Is
both the beat grain and soiling crop.
This fact has been a stumbling block
to many farmers. In trying to aava
grain and ensilage for winter feeding
they have allowed many dollars to
slip through their bands by under-
feeding In tbe summer.
The same holds good when clover
and alfalfa are Baved for bay, when
the cattle are suffering for succulent
food. In no way can we realise
greater feeding value from these crops
than by cutting and feeding them
green.
It Is the height of folly to save
clover and alfalfa for hay and allow
It to lose feeding value from rain and
heat before feeding It to the cows. If
they are suffering In a parched pas-
ture for want of this kind of food.
It Is common to see a herd of dairy
cattle In tho late summer stamping
dust from a dried-up pasture, fighting
flies, and vainly endeavoring to break
through a fence which holds them out
of a luxuriant Held of corn that
flaunts Its prodigious wealth of dark
green foliage before them
It la a penny wise and pound foolish-
policy to allow cows to fall away la
the milk yield and condition, when a
few rows of rankly growing cora
would keep them In good condition.
It is true that when com Is cut
green It has less feeding value than
when It Is mature, but the ripened
stalk and leaves are largely wasted a*
much of the crop Is harvested.
When cut and fed green there to
scarcely any waste, for tbe whoto
stalk, leaves and grain are eaten.
While com In Its rnastlng-ear stag*
has less total nourishment than tho
whole plant when matured, yet when
cut at this time It will actually give,
better results than when husked from
the standing stalk and fed later after
the cattle have fallen away In their
milk yield and flesh condition.
More than one-half of the run-down
condition of dnlry cattle during the
winter can be traced to a decline In
condition before they go Into winter
quarters In the fail

Just at the last beat It well for a

Crop Will Not Succeed on Poorly
Drained Soil—Lack of Fer-
tility Reduces Yield.
Observations Indicate that failure
to obtain a successful stand of clover
Is due to a number of different causes,
any one or any combination of which
may react very unfavorably to Its
growth. The primary causes of clover
failure appear to be duo to depiction
of tho humus content of the soil and
soil "acidity. Clover will not succeed
on poorly drained soil Lack of fer-
tility reduces the yield in some sec-
tions. In tho spring grain sections
thet nurso crop should be seeded from
one-half to two-thirds the usual rate.
When a full seeding of the nurse
crop Is made, and this Is especially
true of oats, the greater portion of
the soil moisture Is used by the grain
The clover plants thus become weak-
ened and when the grain is cut they
are killed by the hot sun before they
have time to recover.
Alslke clover does well on soil
which will no longer grow red clover,
and where moisture Is sufficient It 1b
recommended that alslke he planted.
8weet clover or soy beans are very
good soli renovatorB, and they may re-
place red clover In the rotations until
the soil Is tn such condition that red
clover will succeed.

Result of Experiments Made by
Virginia Experiment Sta-
tion—Seed It Alone.
A report has been received by tha
department of agriculture of the r^
suits of experiments made by the Vlr-
ginla station. In co-operation with thw
department, with alfalfa. The report
shows that August seeding Is prefer-
able to spring seeding. Liming Is usu-
ally necessary, even on Umetone soils.
Acid phosphate and basic slag havq
given tho most marked results on al-
falfa of any commercial fm'tllizer. es-
pecially when used In connection wlthi
a liberal application of stable manure.
At Williamsburg, In tide water, ■
plat seeded In September and ferti-
lized with 10 tons of manure and 400
pounds acid phosphate per acre yield-
ed at the rate of six tone per acre In.
the following year, as against two
tons 356 pounds without fertilizers.
At Staunton, In the Shenandoah val-
ley, alfalfa fertilized with 15 ton* of
Btable manure, alone yielded six tone
per acre In 1913 and 2H tons the first
cutting In 1914. The use of Inoculat-
ing soil Is strongly recommended over
any other method. Pure cultures are
a less desirable, but practicable sub-
stitute.
The experiments on rates of seed-
ing, using from 10 to 30 pounds per
acre, gave very little difference be-
tween light and heavy sesdlngs. On
a good seedbed 15 pounds should bs
sufficient. A comparison of elfalto
seeded alone with alfalfa seeded with
other grasses or clovers Indicates that
it (a the beat to seed It alone.
