The colors used are orchid and greed* tlon is extremely practical, the chemise can he made long enough t' take the place of a petticoat or short enough to be worn with the heavier gowns and suits. And as nil gowns are made on straight body-fitting line*, these garments do away with all un necessary waistbands. These chemises are all made with the short empire yoke* with straps over the shoulders the straps are made of the same mate rial as the garment rather than of rib bon. They are made In gold and sil ver cloths to match the evening gowns as well as in the practical black. Most of the American made lingerie Is made of crepe de chije, georgette or radium silk. From Paris we have the triple voile which closely resem bles chiffon, but has body enough to give it wearing qualities. Another Imported material is printed linen In colors, the printing being placed as a border in a black silhouette design. THE CAPE COAT FOR SPRING Garment May Be Developed Effec* lively In One of the Soft Light* weight Velours Fabrics. Capes of every type are sponsored for early spring. The cape coat is one of tho most highly favored types. It appears in sports lines as well as in regulation wraps. It may be de veloped effectively in one of the soft lightweight velours fabrics, with the capevllned in «*repe de chine or other silk in contracting color. There is a very wide fabric range. The color listing Is equally generous. For sports high shades such as Jockey green, tomato red and dahlia are pop ular, while for the regulation wraps the stnple shades such as browns, tan, navy and several gray tones lend. Some of the wraps show wide si ewes, others are sleeveless, and a universally a proved feature Is the low waist line. Sometimes a new slightly bloused effect is featured, and again the low waist line is indicated merely by the placing of the belt or girdle •mall B^y*s Coat. For the small boy's spring over coat covert cloth is to be a popular fabric. One coat recently seen was a mannish style, plain except for two bias pieces stitched down the back, one ai about the shoulder on either side. Th^ straps were about an inch wide. The coat had tailored collar and revers and buttoned double-breast ed fashion in front. The regulation navy cheviots will be smart also, and, no matter what the fabric or color, a hat to match is an excellent recom mendation. In addition to the many plain fabrics approved for coats for boys, some smart little plaid velours are being featured. Amateurs do not like to bother with linings, liooks and eyes, etc. But this Is no longer necessary today, because oue can buy ready-made llnlngit^ffh all of the required attachments—and it Is a simple matter to sew the lining into the dress.

DIFFERENT WAYS GF CU3IN3 /oung Animals From 8 to 12 Months Old Are Best for Furnishing Home Meat Supply—Avoid Danger of Disease. (PrepimMft by th« United Slates Department of Agriculture.) Every farmer can well produce the pork and pork products which are con sumed on his farm, for selling hogs ind buying pork involves profits, but not to the fanner engaged in the prac tice. This point is brought out in Farmers' Bulletin 1186, published by the United States Department of Ag riculture, which tells how hogs should be killed and describes different meth ods of curing and canning pork on the farm. Highly nutritious and palatable pork products for home use are easily made, says the bulletin. I'ork can le cured and canned iu a number of ways and the variety of products af fords a supplement to the daily meals. Young Hogs Yield Best Meat. A hog of medium condition, gain ing rapidly in weight, yields the best quality of meat. A reasonable amount of fat gives juiciness and flavor to the meat, but large amounts of fat are objectionable. Smooth, even, and deeply-fleshed hogs yield nlcely-mar bled meats. The meat of old hogs will be improved if they are properly fattened before slaughter, but young hogs from eight to twelve months old are best for furnishing the home meat supply. The bulletin emphasizes especially the importance of selecting only healthy hogs for slaughter and of thoroughly cooking ail pork products used for food. Even if the hog has been properly fed and carries a prime finish, the 'roper Equipment for Rapid and Skill ful Work at Kilting Time Is Impor tant. best quality of meat cannot be ob tained if the animal is not healthy. There is always some danger that disease? may be transmitted to the person who eats the meat, particu larly if it is not thoroughly cooked. Hogs Before Killing. Hogs Intended for slaughter should not be kept on full feed up to the time of killing. It is better to hold them entirely without feed for 18 to 24 hours prior to that time, but they should have all the fresh drinking wa ter they want. It is essential to have the proper equipment for rapid and skillful work at killing time. Such equipment includes a straight sticking knife, cutting knife, a 14-inch steel to keep the knives sharp, a hog hook for holding the animals, a bell-shaped stick ^eraper, a gambrel for holding the hog to facilitate cleaning and cut ting the meat, and a meat saw. If the ho* is not too large, a barrel Is a convenient receptacle for scalding. Complete directions for killing and cleaning a hog, properly cutting the portions of meat, rendering lard, mak ing sausage, smoking cured meat, and home canning of pork and pork prod ucts are described in the bulletin, copies of which can be obtained free on application to the Department of Agriculture. RIGHT TIME TO PLANT CORN In Central Corn Belt Seed Planted in April Is Slow in Coming Up and Is Not Hardy. There in a THE HERALD ADVANCE right time to plant corn, and usually the better farmers wheth er they figure by the calendar, by the size of oak leaves, or by the phases jf the moon. In every neighborhood know when that right time comes. It is suggested, however, that more corn Is planted too early than too late. Corn Is a hot weather plant. In the central corn belt the seed that Is planted in April Is usually slow In coming up and less hardy than the seed planted about the middle of May. The distribution of rainfall affects the yield, and this varies from season to season, but the corn experts say, and this theory Is verified by common ex terlence, that the best yields and most rapid growth may bo expected from the medium planting date*. SUCCESSFUL TOMA I u GROWING DESCRIBED Bulletin Gives Different Methods Used in Industry. Much Depends on Good Farm PwXk Sices, Seeds, Plants, Fertilizer, Plant ing, Cultivation and Thorough Spraying. (Prepared by the United State* Departtatnt of Agriculture.) About 2% quarts of canned to matoes Is the yearly per capita con sumption iu the United States, accord ing to figures 6f the United States Department of Agriculture. How the tomato is grown, put up, and shipped, together with practices followed in communities where its cultivation is highly specialized, are given in Farm ers' Bulletin No. 1233. recently issued, copies of which may be obtained free of charge upon application to the De partment of Agriculture at Washing- Hardy Tomato Plant Started in Pot, ton, D. C. The bulletin also contains valuable suggestions to growers as to methods which are profitably followed where the crop is most successful. The story of the tomato is that of a delicacy which has lived down a bad name and come into its own after years of effort. Of American origin, ijt attracted unfavorable attention first about 1800, and for a long time was branded as poisonous and consequent ly avoided. Later, designated as the love apple, it found favoi with a few lovers delicacies and with growers. By 1887 the total pack of canned to matoes in the United States was about 3,000,000 cases of 24 one-quart cans each. Now the commercial pack, ex clusive of soups, purees. Ketchup, and pulp exceeds 10,000,000 cases of 24 No. 3 cans. These figures do not in clude the millions of cans put up by housewives for home consumption or the fresh tomatoes which grace Amer ican tables during the growing season. Chief among the states where to matoes are raised for canning are, in order named: Maryland, Indiana, Mis souri, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. The acreage planted in tomatoes for canning purposes only in 1920 was 244,745. The yield from that acreage was 1,003,358 tons. The bulletin follows the methods used from the seed to the can, describes methods of planting, soils best adapted for the vegetable's growth, tells how the crop may best be harvested, and sums up the chief requirements for good results as fol lows "Successful tomato growing depends on good farm practices, good seed, good plants, proper fertilizer, careful planting, clean cultivation, and dis ease control through spraying and through the use of disease-resistant varieties. Growers who pay attention to these factors produce crops which give them satisfactory returns." GOOD EMERGENCY FEED CROP Sudan Grass Is Rapidly Replacing MM let In Many States—Useful Sum mer Pasture. Sudan grass Is admirably adapted for use as an emergency hay crop, and Is rapidly supplanting millet in many states. It is being used success fully by thousands of farmers as a summer pasture. For this purposa there are few crops that give better re turns and serve so well to supple ment the permanent pastures and the feed lot. FEED CROPS ARE CONVENIENT May Not Bring in Much Money, Out They Take Care of Aninmt* Which Can Be Sold. Feed crops may not bring much cash but they are very convenient to take care of the animals. The animals may be converted into caih or the prod ucts from animals sucfi as milk, cveam, etc. It is not an easy matter to pro duce too much feed. It is hoped that the money generally paid out for feed will be kept at home this year.
