It will be seen that as the distance be- tveeen the roots increased there was also an average increase in the size of the roots bet with one exception - there was a gradual decrease in yield of roots per acre. The average dia- meters (being the dimensions at right angles to a straight line from stem to root) for different distances apart are given in the above ceder, as follows: 2.8 inches, 3.9 inches, 4.3 inches, 4.9 Inches and 5.0 inches. Swede 'turnips or rutabagas graded according to size, recornamen.ded by the Fruit, Branch, - Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa, have the following diameters: Small; 2 to 4 inches; medium; 4 to 6 inches; large, 5 to 7 inches. The small uniform roots usually command the highest price on the American market. The results here presented when bonsider- ea from the standpoint of recommend- ed grades are very 'interesting. Swede turnips thinned to 8 Inches in- stead of 12 inches have the double advaaitage of producing two tons per acre more and of furnishing roots of a smaller size which will command a higher price in the best markets.

RIGHT TRAINING IN SPENDING. Theory needs to be supplemented with plenty of practice. And by the very nature' of it, practice in spending money can be supplied only by the parents: Schools have no funds or authority for such laboratory work. "That seunds well on paper," says someone, "but how does a person begin and how is it all to be managed?" One begins at the beginning—the first time a child asks for a penny to spend. That 'request shows that he has the idea that with a coin he can get something he otherwise would not •have. That's the time to begin his financial training, The first allowaace sheuld be very small, as one wahts to insure thought- ful.spending; it had,better be paid in coppers -because five coppers are More fun to keep track of and much 'more fun to, count and spend than is any nickel, however new and -shining. - With the giving of the allowance there should .'also be an assignment of obligations. At ,first these will doubt- less be for giving, for saving and -for fun. With three lines .of spending open and five coins to spend, there will have to be a. balaneing of desires and that is what one does this for— te encourage the child to see what he wants most.

SUMMER SALAD. line a bowl with three cups shred - canned goods to save time. - My favorite desserts for the Sun-: day dinner are gelatin dishes, fruit with cake or cookies, baked on Friday, and bread and cornstarch puddings. If whipped cream is to be served with the dessert I find that it may be pre- pared Saturday evening if a little melted gelatin is added to.give firm- ness. Of course it is stored in the ice box or a very cold place. Molded dishes always are ,a favorite for Sun- day suppers in my home, and especial- ly jellied salmon. There are times when it is impos- sible to find time on Saturday to cook the Sunda Y dinner. On these occa- sions I use an oaken plank. This transforms the most commonplace food into a feast, giving to meats a never -to -be -forgotten taste. My plank is made of oak, a wood which gives a fine flavor to foods. Its diameter is eleven itches, which, is about right for serving six persons. Larger planking boards may be pur- chaeed or made. I prefer the plank with grooves which lead to a well at one end, for in this the rich and sav- ory juices collect. I arrange the meat and vegetables to %e cooked on the plank, which is first greased slightly and warmed in Mould in Butter. There is nothing more vexatious or more depreciatory in the 'flavor and value of butter than the presence of mould. A recentlY issued balletin by the Dominion Dept. of Agriculture deals with its "Cause and Preven- tion." In giving elaborate illustra- tions of the way mould shows, on the butter itself and on parchment paper taken from it, the authors, Dr. E. G. Hood, Chief of the, Division of Dairy Research, and Mr. A. H. White, As- idstant, point out that butter infected with mould develops 'varied color areas on its surfece when subjected to conditions and temperatures suit- able to mould growth, and that these areas are Week, dirty green, green, orange yellow., or brown in color. Theee growths generally appear first on the eurface, but in advanced eases may penetrate the butter to the depth ef one-half td three-quarters of, an inch. Mould growths on parchments appear as geeerdeh brown to blaCk emUdgeci areas depending upon the degree of' development. In many In standee, say e the autimrs, moulds ap- pear on both perclunents and butter, while again only the parchments or butter may shoav infectioft. One of the illustrations supplied is said to be of untreated parchment paper taken from mouldy butter containing per gram moulds 1,859,000, yeasts 6,000,- 000 and bacteria 30,000,0D0. • :Preserving and Storing Eggs.: A series of experiments testing the new "Guaranize process 'of preserv- ing eggs have been conducted at the Central, Eapeeirneetal Perth. Differ- ent method's of storing eggs for Win- ter use were aisle:investigated. The results of the tests are given in de- tail in the 1924 report of the Dernina ion Poultry thisbaiadmere distributed by the Publications Branch; Dept: of Agriculture, Ottawa.. During the experimente extending, over two ye,a.reethe eggs .treated by the "Guaxaniee" Process, which con - gists' dipping' them In Le' boiling solution of wax and oil,' graded much better than the untr"eated onee and had a decidedly better laver. Other salient, points brought out by ..the tests are that eggs should be stored with the sinall ends down, that they should be as freah as peesibleatliet clean eggs keep better than either dirty or Wash- oneseand that they should be stored In clean flats and filloxr.
