Nov. 30 —In a report Just received by the National Emergency Food Garden Commission from the Princetjon community canning kitchen at Princeton. N. J„ it Is shown that the college town did great ■ work in food saving. One thousand 1 quarts of canned products were put * up, along with 350 glasses of jelly and forty quarts cf dried products. Only throe cans of the produce spoiled which is considered remarkable when it is remembered that the work was ' done by amateurs. A large consignmen of manuals were sent to the r’-n-n f>y the commission. NOW IS THE i TIMEBook your sale with an : auctioneer who is able to I ike your sale a success. ’eiephone No. 8-L. r«. N.

THE AVERAGE KbFORMER. (National Utop liui-rnwaant Mfriiaa.) Tlie average reformer havlcg sb little at stake himself, plunges about like a bull tn a china shop, regardless of the results of his urdor. An amusing incident is told of the Secretary of Commerce. The can manufacturers put up a howl that unless they could get tin-plate to make up. no canning of fruits and vegetables could be done, so without looking over the Held It Is said that an order wus made that steel was to be diverted by the manufacturers from other projects and put at the disposal of the can manufacturers. It looked all right on the face of it, but when the manufacturers of harvesting machinery demanded steel which they contracted for. and found that I here was not steel for aprons, it having been diverted to cans, a hurry-up call modifying the order was issued, so that our harvesting machines could be made in time for the growing crop. This illustrates how many plans are ignorantly made robbing Peter to pay Pau). Every enthusiast who has a pet reform which is always hitting some other business instead of his own, never looks around to see what the effect will be before ha plunges. The manufacturers of feed and the most successful feeders in the country have a right to demand that that delicate machine —the dairy cow —shall not be wrecked by hasty legislation. Revolutionary reforms are seldom efficacious. Anything which disturbs the food equilibrium should be handled gradually. Experience has shown that the most efficient way to handle cereal products is to remove the human food first and feed the residue to stock. Any other system is sheer extravagance. WRONG FEEDING METHODS. [NMtional (.’rop Improvement Serviced There is an old story about a ship captain who had a medicine chest. A sailor was sick and lie found that No. 4 7 in hie book was the indicated remedy, but alas! the bottle of No. 4 7 was empty, so he took equal parts of No. 40. which was strychnine, and No. 7, which was carbolic acid, and added them together and made No. 4 7 —and the sailor died. The application of this old story is that many a feeder will think that if a little of cottonseed or oilseed meal is good, a whole lot will be better. And, like the man who put the green spectacles on the horse and fed him shavings—just after he got him trained the horse died. It is human nature to experiment in feeds, and the poor cow has to suffer for an overdose or an underdose before the proper ration is established. DIFFICULT™ mix feeds A More Scientific Result Can Be Produced By Machinery. (National Crop Improvement Service.] ■As no two lots run alike, it is very difficult to mix straight by-products of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed, flaxseed, etc., by measure, because it is purely guessing. Only a few years ago Intentional fraud or unintentional carelessness was the rule. Before the feed laws were passed, each manufacturer adulterated all the trade would stand. Every car of feed sold to the consumer is not analyzed, and the farmer cannot become a feed expert because he has no laboratory. Not one ear out of five hundred is officially inspected. In the old days country millers were throwing feeds together with no knowledge of feed and were ruining valuable oows and making the farmer poorer. In those days the feed tables were wrong, the feeds didn’t fit the tables; the digestible analysis method was Incorrect; feed standards for animals were not agreed upon nor complete; the animals didn’t fit the standards; the buyer didn’t know what was in the feeds he bought to mix; and there was an unavoidable variation in the concentration of the feed. These conditions have been largely overcome through the joint action of the government and state experiment stations and the mixed feed manufacturers who have every facility for maintaining a uniform product. By using these scientifically prepared feeds, many a herd has doubled its yield! and profits. There are some painters who can buy lead, oil and dryer and mix and match their own color uniformly but the best painters es today have learned that mill-made brands are much better than anything they can mix with a paddle. The same is true in fertilizers to a great extent. In mixed feeds there can be no economy in home mixing because the mixing factories, being near the large markets, can utilize by-products to the very best advantage. Home mixing cannot be accomplished at one-tenth of a cent per lb., besides the result Is never twice alike and cannot be without the help of a laboratory. I [National Crop Improvement torvloo.] A practical test shows that eight tons of a first class dairy feed will replace 13 1-3 tons of farm grain, making a proportionate saving of about S2O per ton and it also puts three times as much fertilizer back on the farm as is in the grain this farmer could sell. [National Croa Imaravement Servlet.; There is no sense in hauling two loads of cheap feed when one load of high-grade feed will do the work and costs but three-fourths as much as the ' two loads.

INDIANA BAKERS To he Licensed After Dec. 10 -Will Adopt War Bread is Belief. LET ADMINISTRATOR Os Your County Attend to Your Criticisms and Complaints. Indianapolis, Nov. 30- Every Indiana baker using ten barrels of flour i er month, whether conducting a retail business or baking for private con-r-umi tion will be required to take out a federal license December 10. Aft?r that date his baking receipts and other business procedure will be subject to the regulation of the federal food administration. This is the most important and most radical step ye’ taken for the conservation of wheat fleur. It is expected that a form of war bread, such as is distributed in Europe and which in many instances is given preference over white bread, will be adopted by the administration very soon, and l>e made a part of the regular diet of Americans. Commission merchants, brokers and auctioneers, grain dealers and millers, canners and warehouse men are already included in the list of food handlers who are licensed by the govern ment and who must abide by regulations laid down by Herbert Hoover and his state aids. It becomes the duty of the county food administrator, just announced for Indiana, tn sea that these regulations are strictly observed. Another radical war emergency measure which will be ordered in Indiana. soon, it is expected, will be the “cash and carry” plan of merchandising. This will apply particularly to groceries. In this connection tae county food administrators will be charged with responsibility of seeing that consumers receive the direct benefit of the saving that merchants will thus effect. .

County food administrators receive no salary. Their service Is wholly voluntary. They were appointed aft°r nominations were made by county councils of defense, at the request and direction of the Indiana State Council of Defense. Their acts will be subject to the ar’ roval of the state administrator and they will te expected to cooperate fully with the county defense boards. County administrators in discharging the duties of their office are doing their bit toward helping win the war, as clearly as the soldier in the fiel I. the Indiana State Council of Defense announces. It is becoming clearer every day, says an authorized statement. that food control is a function of war. The responsibilities placed upon these local administrators are great and their service entitle- them to the same sort of appreciation that should attend service at the front. Housewives and dealers are urged to lay their comrlatnts and eritlci«T.i« before the county food administrator. It will be his business to adjust differences and remove cause for complaint, with the co-operation of the state and federal officials. o PUBLIC SALE.
