Farm Helps
Very Latests
By MARY MARSHALL
Do not sow soybeans tou deep. Poor
of this crop often result from
too deep, especially with the
large-seeded varieties.
Unsightly or old buildings on the
farm may sometimes be covered in
m single season and made attractive
fey planting Kudzu vine, scarlet run-
Mr bean, or other climbers. Clematis
paniculate is excellent for covering
lances or other low objects.
Do not plant potato "runts" for
aaad. says the U. S. Department of
Agricuture. Tests show that potatoes
laaa than one ounce in weight do not
give as large yields as those weigh-
ing from two to five ounces, even if
the latter are halved or quartered
the former planted whole.
Probably because our clothe are
longer, and more ampie generally,
all sorts of open-work arrangements
have been revived to give them the
needed lightness and airiness. Hence
we see eyelets, lace insertions,
slashes, slits and fagoting which
suggest the "peekaboo" fashions of
other days.
The fagoted sleeve shown in the
sketch is an example of this sort of
thing. It is copied from one of the
new spring dresses but can easily be
reproduced by the home dressmaker.
The strips to l>e used for the fagot-
ing are made from bias strips of the
material. Cut them twice as wide as
you want to, allowing u little turn in
at either side. Fold over to make a

"One year's seeding makes seven
years' weeding." Weed plants pro-
duce from a hundred to several
thousand seeds to a plant. Some
weeds such as wild carrot, burdock,
and sowthistle, may produce 20,000
or more seeds on one plant. Control
weeds by preventing the ripening of
aeed, by preventing the introduction
of weed seeds on the farm, and by i
preventing perennial weeds from mak-;
ing top growth.
Dairy cows should have all the salt!
they want. Ordinary cows in milk
need about one once a day. Heavy
producers should get mor{. Many
dairymen mix salt with the grain
mixture, using from one to two ¡
pounds of salt to each 100 pounds
of concentrates, and also keep addi-
tonal salt where the cows have ac-
cess to it. Salt in cake form may be
kept in each feed box in the barn,
or placed in convenient places in the
lot or pasture. Put it in a sheltered
to prevent rain from dissolving

Good green range is invaluable for
the poultry flock. Allow from 220
to 260 square feet of land per bird
if the soil is fertile. The chicks will
aeed more space on poor grassland.
Poultrymen often keep many more
fowls on sandy soil by using double
yards and cultivating the land fre-
quently. A desirable arrangement-
especially where green feed can be
crown throughout the year—is to
■ave three yards of equal size for
poultry house, one in front and
two in back, the rear yards extend-
ing beyond the house. The birds may

Low prices for dairy products ha\e
been stimulating consumption.
In the garden, plant the short-
aaason crops together. Don't plant
aalsify and parsnips between succes-
sive planting of radishes and lettuce.
Hlestied Are the Askers
When I was younger 1 used to look
at the giant corporations of the coun-
try with awe.
I thought: "How wonderful to be
| president of such a worldwide busi-
I ness. Millions of capital and surplus
.in the treasury; great plants which
1 are turning out a strain of products;
the highest priced experts in every
line to do the work! All the president
has to do is to sit in a nice big office
and watch the wheels go round."
When I came closer to those giant
corporations I promptly revised my
' ideas.
For instance:
I happened to be in the office of
the chairman of the board of one of
the biggest businesses of its kind.
The telephone rang. On the other end
of the wire was the president of a
railroad.
Said the railroad man to his friend
the manufacturer: "You have a sub-
sidiary company in our territory. Its
total frieght bill is only a few thous-
ands of dollars a year, but we want
that business. Can we have it?"
A few days later I called on a
manufacturer of building materials.
The president's secretary said: "The
boss wants to see you, but he had
to g > out suddenly. He has just
heard that So and So (naming the
banker) is going to build a new house
s.> he jumped in his car and went
down to see if he could get the order.
1 called at my bank. The president
vas not in his office. His assistant
reported that he had gone out—to
solicit u in*v. a. 'uur.i.
A friend of mine who is in a tough
business has had a very good year in
spite of the depression. A competitor
asked him: "How in the world do
you get so many orders?" To which
my friend replied simply: "By go-
ing out and asking for them."

DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT
Whethei a business be big or small,
lo,al or international, makes little
difference. If it is to keep going it
must have orders. And there isn't
any president or chairman of the
board r.o famous or so rich that he
isn't after orders every single day!
Conditions have been subnormal
now for a long time, not only here
but all over the world. Many pre
dictions have been uttered: many
remedies proposed.
My own suggestion for improving
things is very simple:
Let's all quit talking about how bad
times are.
Let's go out and ask for orders.
| Blessed are the askers!
"Pit" the Horse
The farm horse should be "fitted
for spring work several weeks before
heavy work actually begins. Gradual-
ly put the horse on a smaller ration
of finer-quidity hay early in the spring
ji>ni start giving a light feed oe
grain three times daily. When light
j work commences, a 1400-pound horse
; should be getting daily about 14
I pounds of grain together with 14 or
¡ 15 pounds of fine-quality hay. This
gradual change from the course
roughages which art- fed in winter
will prepare the horse to digest the
IS ti 1! pounds of grain and 16 to
Is pounds of hay which he needs at
heavy work such as disking or plow-
ing. Changes in both kind and qua-
lity of feed should be gradual.

MUSHROOM RECIPES
There are so many delicious ways
of serving mushrooms that it is a
very easy thing to choose one that
appeals to any taste, any occasion.
The mainstay of luncheon may be
mushrooms, a mediocre dinner may
be lifted high above its level by the
addition pf a well chosen mushroom
dish, mushrooms may be served for
party refreshments.
Broiled Steak With Mushrooms
The steak should be dusted with
pepper and salt and broiled quickly.
The mushrooius should be treated
the same way. After being cooked,
pour mushrooms over steak. A hot
platter should be used.
Eggs and Mushrooms
One pound of fresh mushrooms
cleaned n several waters. Don't let
them stand. Peel und put them in
a stewpan, with two ounces of butter,
one-half teaspoon of salt and white
pepper. Set them over the fire until
thoroughly heated; turn into a shal-
low dish and top with stale bread
crumbs. Dot with bits of butter.
Dust with salt and pepper. Bake in
a hot oven five minutes. Spread
them on hot buttered toast and serve.
Stuffed Mushrooms
Half a pound ot medium-sized
mushrooms, tablespoon butter, two
tablespoons each of bread crumbs
and chopped ham, one teaspoon of
minced parsley, small piece of onion
(minced), salt and pepper. Fry the
onion on the butter, und then add
to it the bread crumbs, ham. parsley,
and seasoning. Stir all together, and
remove from the fire. Next ,skin the
mushrooms and cut off their stems,
fill them with the mixture from the
pan. Urease a baking tin, place the
mushrooms carefully in it, and upon
each put a small piece of butter.
Bake in a mederate oven for a quarter
of an hour or twenty minutes, and
while cooking make some neut rounds
of buttered toast. Place one mush-
room upon each piece, and serve while
quite hot.
Lobster With Mushroom
To cook lobster after one of the
approved methods it must first be
boiled and cut into fair-sized pieces,
but not minced For three one-pound
lobsters, allow the quantity of sauce
given Iwlow, increasing proportion-
ately as may be necessary. Put a
tablespoon ot butter in a chafing dish,
when melted add a teaspoon of finely
chopped onion. When they begin to
! color, add one half pint of Spanish
J sauce, ten fresh mushrooms which
j have been peeled and cut into bits,
I and salt and pepper. Stir all to-
gether and let cook slowly for ten
minutes, then add the lobster, a
tablespoon of parsley and n dash of
nutmeg. Boil five minutes longer and
serve. To make the Spanish sauce
melt one ounce of butter, add to it
jone ounce of flour ami stir over a
I fire until colored a good brown. Add
j one-hall pint of stock, one-half a
carrot, one onion and a stalk of celery.

Cut a paper pattern of the shape
needed for the cuff several inches
longer at the top than needed. Mark
lines on this paper where the strips
of material should come and make
a curved design at the top of the
cuff as shown in the sketch.
Baste the strips on the paper, turn-
ing the top row in the center to form
the circular extension. Use fine but-
tonhole twist to match the material
and work in simple fagoting stitch.
This is done by crossing and recross-
ing the thread between the strips to
form a zig-zag line. A small stitch
is taken in the band each time and
the needle is then passed under the
thread of the stitch that has just been
taken, thus giving the twisted appear-
