—Minks can be raised in captivity
successfully, and the quality of fur
produced is in no way inferior to that
trapped in the wild. These animals
are very prolific, and when fed and
handled properly, their litters usually
numbering from six to eight. Wheth-
er mink farming for fur can be made
profitable is a matter for each pros-
pective farmer to decide for himself.
So far those who have made money
with minks have done it through the
sale of breeding stock. Some helpful
suggestions on mink raising have been
prepared by the Biological Survey and
published by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture in Leaflet No. 8-F, “Mink
Raising,” which is free for the asking.

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT
It is a common-place that we cannot
answer for ourselves before we have been
tried. But it is not so common a reflec-
tion, and surely more consoling, that we
usually find ourselves a great deal better
and braver than we thought—R. L. Ste-
venson. ;
Flower-covered hats have come
back this spring to strengthen the
back-to-femininity movement and to
brighten the city streets.
All the French modistes are de -
lighted with the advent of the flower
in the mode. Chapka is not only mak-
ing hats entirely of flowers, but uses
many for trimmings, often placing
two or three flat-petaled flowers on
the longer side of the brim. A charm-
ing model comes entirely of the dain-
tiest pale roses, and still another no
less delightful one is a little dream
of Parma violets.
The popular ‘“one-eye” model is
used for these flower hats, as well as
the felt and straw ones.
crowns, clinging close to the lines of
the head, are used with all types of
brims and there are hats with crowns
a little squarish in proportion, al-
though perfectly rounded in outline.
Agnes is showing an interesting
bead-effect in straw. One in black
has the up-turned brim held in place
with a twist of pirk silk, while the
banded scarf is of black and pink.
Another model resembles the head-
gear of the Spanish mountaineers
who tie a handkerchief about the head
and top it off with a sombrero set at
a rakish angle. It is in the same fine
straw.
Gloves and stockings will be of a
much browner beige this spring than
that which has been in vogue for some
time. There is no longer the faint-
est hint of pink or flesh color in eith-
er one.
The stockings, as a rule, are much
darker than the gloves, but form the
ensemble idea which is now necessary
to all good dressing. In spite of news
which comes from across the Atlantic,
chic Parisennes have not yet been per-
suaded to don steel-gray and black
hosiery. They are still fond of beige
tints and the specialty-housekeepers
say this is only the first step toward
the one which won’t show the mud-
splashes on a rainy day. .
Washable gloves of glace kind, as
supple as suede in the fashionable
new beige shade sre shown in one-
button and slip-on styles. They are
generally perfectly plain with rather
wide stitching of the same color on
the back. There is also an attractive
glove in the same shade with a nar-
row binding of striped beige and
white silk around the wrist.
The white glove, after a rather
long eclipse, is returning to favor.
It comes in dull finish in “off-white”
tone, hand-stitched in black and with
one button at the wrist. Ivory-toned
white gloves are worn with the new
ivory satin blouse.
A charming scheme for a colorful
kitchen, which takes its keynote from
the green made famous by the Adams
Brothers and which can be achieved
at little expense by the women who
wish to modernize this important
room, has been suggested by a New
York artist. All woodwork, with the
exception of the floor, should be du-
coed in Adam green, which is a gray
green, he states. The walls and ceil-
ing should be done in cream. The
floor should be done in black and
bright braided rugs are used. If the
floors are worn and shabby, linol-
eum might be used. The color for
this should be black and cream mar-
bleized in tiled effect.
To further carry out the color
scheme, he suggests that pots and pans
be obtained enameled in a shade of
(green that will harmonize with the
general plan. The handles of brooms
and brushes could be done in orange.
The- refuse "can could be finished in
this color. :
Cutlery with orange handles and
dishés decorated in:gay peasant col-
ors go nicely in a room of this char-
acter. s
+ The furniture should be finished in
a little deeper shade of green and
trimmed with cream and a black
stripe. an SR
Printed linen curtains which con-
tain tones of green, cream, orange
and black make effective overdrapes,
while washable window shades in
cream color, appliqued with motifs
cut from the curtain material pasted
along the bottom of the shade to form
a border, add a note of utility and
harmony. .
Artichokes and Brussel sprouts are
growing in popularity and rightfully
so. Both are nutritious and easy to
prepare. Then there are caulifiowers,
potatoes, carrots, peas, onions and as-
paragus. They all looked so fresh
and appetizing.
One vegetable that I just can’t seem
to resist is rhubarb. Those I saw in
the market recently seemed at their
best and the result is that rhubarb is
playing a big part in my diet. I call
it the medicinal vegetable fruit—me-
dicinal because it tones up the en-
tire system. After I’ve eaten rhu-
barb I feel as if I had taken a tonic,
one that is stimulating and good to
taste. Rhubarb is a natural cleanser,
you know, and should be eaten by all
the family, especially the children.
Here are several ways of preparing
t: /
For Baked Rhubarb.—Cut off the
leaves and root, wash and cut the
stalks in half-inch pieces and place
them in a baking dish. Add two
cups of sugar to one quart of rhubarb.
Cover and let bake in moderate oven
until the rhubarb is tender and deep
red in color.
For Rhubarb and Pineapple.—Take
equal parts of rhubarb, cut in one-
inch pieces and add fresh pineapple
diced. Add sugar to sweeten, about
two cups to one quart of fruit. Let
stand one or more hours. Place in
saucepan, let heat slowly until sugar
is dissolved and cook without stirring
until rhubarb is soft but not broken.
Cool and serve.

FARM NOTES.
Owing to the lack of snow during i
the past winter and the frequent
freezing and thawing, much of the
wheat in central and western Penn-,
sylvania and adjacent territory is
badly winter-killed.
There seem to be two courses to
follow, Nickolas Schmitz, farm crops !
extension specialist of the Pennsyl-
vania State College states. One is to |
seed clover this spring, as usual, and :
take a chance on the weeds not kill-
ing the yotng seeding the early part
of the season. With this method no
straw nor grain will be obtained. The |
other alternative is to thoroughly disk !
and work the soil wth a spring-tooth
harrow and seed it to oats or barley |
with clover and timothy applied in |
the usual manner. Soybeans may be |
planted in such a field, if more legume
hay is wanted, and the field seeded
to wheat in the fall after the hay is
harvested.
It pays to manage the farm vege-
table garden just as efficiently as a
herd of expensive purebred livestock
or any other farm undertaknig, says
Samuel Braucher, of Berks county.
From a three-quarter acre farm gar-
den managed according to recommen-
dations of State College extension
workers, he made a net profit of $450.
Cash received from the sale of veg-
etables at wholesale prices was $240;
from prizes on exhibits at the Kutz-
town Community Fair, $85, and from |
prizes at the Reading Fair, $125. A |
much larger amount of vegetables
was used at home than was sold, and
many times vegetables were given to
neighbors. The total expenses on the
garden for the year, including labor,
cost of supplies, and rent of land, fig-
ured at $200. This includes prepara-
tion of exhibits.
Forty-four different kinds of vege-
tables were grown. Fresh raw vege-
tables were on hand for the entire
12 months, and 500 quarts were
canned.
Long, straight rows spaced for
horse cultivation and the planting of
succession crops to utilize the land
and labor to the best advantage were
the principal secrets of success, ac-
cording to Braucher.
That cows need water for milk pro-
duction is a fact stressed again and
again by feeding specialists of the
Pennsylvania State College. R. H.
Olmstead, of the dairy extension staff,
tells of a Jefferson county farmer who
was persuaded to put drinking cups
in his dairy barn. The installing
agency contracted to do the job on
condition that the profits from the in-
creased milk production over the old
era of spasmodic watering be given
in payment. At the end of one month
the farmer saw that this sum would
exceed the regular price of the cups
so he sent a check for the full amount.
Contests and exhibits will feature
the sixth annual dairy exposition, to
be held May 5, at State College un-
der the direction of the Penn State
chapter of the American Dairy Sci-
ence Association. Drawings for ani-
mals by student exhibitors were held
last week and fitting will begin im-
mediately after the Easter recess.
Prizes will be awarded to the winners
at a banquet on the evening of the
exposition.
Entomologists say that the 17-year-
locust will visit most of Pennsylvania
this year. In all territory thus in-
vaded it is well to defer pruning un-
til after the danger of locust attack
ists.
Oats should be treated with formal-
dehyde before sowing to save the
crop from the ravages of smut. Last
year there was an average of nine
per cent smut in the oats fields of
Pennsylvania, which meant a loss of
three bushels per acre. Three cents
per acre and a few minutes work
would have prevented this toll.
Unless very early strawberries are
desired it is better to postpone re-
moval of mulch until after growth
has started. The past season has
demonstrated the value of mulch.
Mulched plants are green while leaves
on unmulched piants are dead and
brown.
Garden diaries are interesting and
valuable. Keep one this year and
note the dates of heavy frosts, the
dates of planting and blooming, and
other items of interest. You will find
that you wish to consult such a rec-
ord many times a year.
Field work is now starting and it is
.a busy season. Do not fail to take a
few minutes a day to keep the ac-
count book up to date. If it is put
off you will never catch up.
Grapefruit seeds will produce inter-
esting house plants. Sow the seeds
thickly in a shallow dish of fresh
earth, covering the seeds with one-
half inch of soil.
A source of possible reinfestation
of this year’s crop with corn borers
is cornstalks stored in barns. Some
of the borers brought in from infest-
ed fields may die as the result of the
drying out of the stalks during the
winter, but in order to keep the num-
ber of moths flying in June to a low
enough number to prevent commer-
cial damage to this year’s crop, all
stalks should be taken out and burned,
or finely cut or shredded as soon as
possible. To kill borers by cutting,
the machine should be adjusted to cut
the stalks into pieces not more than
one-half inch long.
The successful farmer plans his
work and never procrastinates when
the time for doing things arrives. In
this way every operation is cared for
promptly, nothing is sacrificed be-
cause of delays or lack of time, and
above all he always has time to take
the family for short vacations at var-
ious times. Life on the farm thus
becomes more enjoyable each year.
Spring is the time when the farmer
is glad he greased and oiled all work-
ing parts of the field machinery he
put away last year.

The Annual Buddy Poppy Sale.
Prevalent unemployment conditions
in various parts of the country give
especial significance this year to the
approaching annual Buddy Poppy
sale of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
which will be conducted nationally
during the week of Memorial Day to
raise relief work funds.
The necessity for adequate provi-
sion for relief and welfare among ex-
service men and their dependents has
seldom been greater than at the pres-
{ent time, according to V. F. W. post
officers throughout the United States,
who report an unusual number of lo-
cal and transient veterans seeking
employment. Included in this num-
ber are many ex-service men whose
war experiences left them handi-
capped for self-support and others,
who, after years of independent ef-
fort, find that ill-health forces them
at last to ask for help.
Every Buddy Poppy carries the dis-
tinctive green label which marks it
as the handiwork of disabled and
needy veterans, and officials of gov-
ernment hospitals where the poppy-
making is carried on recognize it as
a valuable adjunct to the occupation-
al therapy work. In U. S. Veteran’s
hospital No. 81, in New York city,
where the poppy-making began last
November, the patients are complet-
ing approxiamtely 50,000 Buddy Pop-
pies each week. “Some of the men
will not work on anything else,” said
Alton Vary, chief aide of the occu-
pational therapy department. “They
look forward from one year to the
next to start making the flowers and
they are more interested in it than
in anything else they do.”
Similar conditions prevail in Veter-
ans Bureau hospitals and other insti-
tutions for disabled vets throughout
the country. For the past few months
Buddy Popipes have been in the mak-
ing at hospitals in Boston, Mass.
Chicago, Ill, Minneapolis, Minn.,
Muskogee, Okla., and Pittsburgh, Pa.
The sale this spring, which aims at
a national total of 50,000,000 Buddy
Poppies, carries a double appeal be-
cause of the projected allotment of
part of the proceeds to the Veterans
of Foreign Wars national home for
widows and orphans of ex-service
men, in East Rapids, Michigan. The
success of the 1927 sale facilitated
the erection of new buildings during
the past year to meet growing de-
mands and further expansion is be-
ing planned.
Non-Skid Bathtub.
Some time ago the New York Times
directed attention to the fact that
slipping in a bath tub is one of the
most fertile of all causes of serious
accident. About that time, I myself,
slipped in this way and struck my
head with such force against the roll
rim that I was really astonished to
find myself alive.
Being one who believes in prompt
steps to devise some means of pre-
caution against repetition of what
should be avoidable, 1 at once tried
the scheme of placing a rubber mat
over the bottom of the bathtub, and
my experience has been that, when
wet, it acts on the principle of a suck-
er and is highly resistant to any slip-
ping movement.
