Sport clothes, having come to stay, have their growing strength constantly reenforced by wonde-ful new developments. Designers can be a? daring as they like so long as they know bon- to tum out beautiful, if startling, new things that are Ingenious and full of style Stripe# and checks. In strong contrasts of color, made up In rwmblnatlon with plain color, have occupied our field of vision this year, almost to the exclusion of the odd. brilliantly colored figures that were strewn over the surface of sport clothes last year. These checks and broad stripes are most cleverly managed, and now we have aats nnd turbans made to match coats tnd skirts. One wonders where these new by-patbs will lead, at any rate, they run In the direction of the smart* *st informal clothes that we have ever known. The sport costume pictured leaves nothing to be desired In the way of

good style. It has a skirt of whits shantung, with panels at the sid« showing broad hands of color—In this case a vivid green—on a white ground. The sleeveless Jacket, with narrow belt and patch pockets. Is II the same bright green, awl large buttons on the skirt reveal bow perfectly big buttons fit In with the character of sport Hothc*. I-arge checks, broad stripes nnd fringes have Joined forces with buttons to give those who think up sport clothes every possible chance of success. The slip-over styles In sweaters nnd blouses play Into their bands, and other allies are the new heavy weaves In silk and the fancy shaded striped tricots. Long, wide scarfs that may l>e worn In several ways, and scarfs that are belted and pocketed to be worn In but one way. are mhde with companion pieces In hnts that match them.

raking, loading and hauling, end ethers working at the barn all of the time. The smallest economical crew for bringing hay from the field nnd putting It into the burn Is the threr-man nnd two-horse crew. In the East, the common practice Is to load the wagon with hand fork# and unload It with the horse fork or sling. This arrangement allows two men to pitch on the loud and one man to build the load on the wagon and drive the team. When the load Is on. all three men go to the barn to unload. At the barn one man works In the mow. one sticks the bay fork on the wagoa, nnd the third man drives the teiun on the rope. No time is lost, except that lost by the two pitchers in traveling between the bam and the field. In the East the average distance between these points Is a quarter of a mile or less. Custom In East. On most average-sited farms In the East the general custom Is to baul hay In the afternoon only. In the forenoon. one man mows enough hay In about four hours, starting after the dew Is almost gone, for half a day's hauling. Three to five acres, yielding tons to the acre. Is about all the ordinary three-man crew can handle. The second map rakes evciy morning. at the beginning of the haying season, the hay that was mowed tte day before. In the forenoon the third man does not work at haying at nil. but Is free to do other farm work, such os plowing corn, etc. Let us see what the effect will be on the size of the crew If the hay Is not cut until well past “full bloom," the

For late summer and early fall wear the choice of fabrics for children's drraay frocks narrows down, as sheer goods are more or leaa eliminated from ealcuUtlon.

Hay cut when past full bloom cures quite rapidly 7 the weather Is favorable. nnd hay mowed In the forenoon can be put into the burn In the afternoon. This arrangement requires nn extra man and two mini horses to rake the hay. To facilitate matters, the side-delivery rake should be used, so that loading can he started a* soon as the rake ha* made one round. The fourth man will usually finish raking by three or four o'clock In the afternoon. and can help load during the remainder of the day. However, three men pitching onto one wagon U not ordinarily a very ecv'mmilcal arrangement. Mowing In the Afternoon. Now let us suppose that It Is decided to do the mowing In the afternoon as well as the raking, and see how this arrangement affects the tire rf the crew. Such a method requires another additional man or team, making a crew of five men working In the hayfield in the afternoon only. There will be one roan mowing, one raking the hay mowed the day before, and three men bringing hay from the field and putting It Into the harn. Two more horses will also be required with this method, making a total of six. yet this larger crew will handle no more bny per day than the three-man crew above described.

Chickens Are Always Healthier If Kept on Open Range. overcrowding, and aoil contamination, but the young stock reared under such conditions will grow faster nnd better. Where It is Inconvenient to distribute a large stock as widely ns Is necessary to secure permanently the fine Sunltury condition of land desired, the same result is obtained In growth by a rotation which places young birds always on land not used for poultry the preceding year. In back-yard poultry keeping scrupulous cleanllne-.-s Is essential. The night droppings should lie removed early In the morning. Those which fall on the floor of the house and lu the yard should be removed ns often as Is necessary to get them before they become finely broken nnd so mixed with the Utter of the floor or the #<>11 of the yard that much of such material must be token up with them. Frequent turning rf the soil in small yards Is desirable, hut ought not to be accepted os a proper substitute for removal of droppings there. If these are simply turned under In rail In which no vegetation Is growing there Is temporary Improvement, but after n short time conditions become so had that reoewal of the soil to a considerable depth Is necet'Kory. Clny soils should be frequently and liberally treated with lime. Good sanitation checks the rapid multiplication of lire and mite*, but doe* not destroy them. For this the appropriate Insecticide* should bo used. In n scries of ta-sts of Insecticides by the bureau of entomology radium fluorld was found most effective. completely destroying nil lice present at the time of application, nnd mnklng the birds treated Immune to attacks of lice for some time. The methods of using sodium fluorld for lire and of eradloHlng mites are given fully In Farmers' Bulletin 801.
