LITEST METHODS

OF HANDLING TO PREVENT WASTES

Shipping and Storing of Fruits and Vegetables are Important Factor in Food Conservation. Tn nr? effort to Ui re?ae th" irn.it waste of j.crihalle fruits anl veu--tuli!e to arel- .ml irnpro;i. r hnndllnp. which s.il.strart huntlreiJs i,( thousands of jiound of fool front th: country's s;i)iy each year, tliv bureau of market--anl the bureau of plant industry of the United itate-.s department 'f Agriculture will, an rapidly as practice Me, extend the present demonMrational and in estitrtinal work with producers, shippers, carriers, and warehousemen re-carding proper methods of handling pet i-h -ables. This work will he taken up with funds just made available in the food production hill recently enacted by Consrc. Specialists declare ili.it the successful transportation or storage of perishables is primarily dependent upon careful and proper handling methods when beinc prepared for shipment. If carelessly or improperly handled when harvested and packed, all tare exercised thereafter to Insure sound condition may be largely ineffective and result in serious loss to the producer as well as lo-s of foodstuffs to the consumer. Specialists in the harvesting and handling of fruits and vegetables, through demonstra tionai work and other practicable means in the important producing sections will reach as many producers and shippers as possible. These and other specialists also will advise producers in the construction and alteration of storage houses for products that can bo successfully stored, especially without artificial refrigeration, and in regard to the mn-t efficient use and management of such storage houses. Specialist declare that loses of fruits and vegetables nro high in many well-constructed storage house merely because the equipment is improperly used. The department will seek to ieluce losses of perishables still further by demonstrating to carriers and ursine upon them the- u. of improved refrigerator cars which give uniformly greater refrigeration efficiency with marked economic? as regards ice consumption and in heavier loading. Several thousand refrigerator cars have been built or rebuilt In practical conformity with the results of recent investigations and are in use on many railways. It is the hope of th- department specialists that the use of uniformly better equipment may become much more general dining the years when war needs make the conservation of fo"d especially importa nt. EARLY POTATOES FOR THE SUMME Winter Supply of This Vegetable Should be Provided From Second Crop. It is not advisable under ordinary conditions to attempt to carr v ocr a larger suiqdv of :irstrop potatoes than i necessary to ridge the i;:teral between the fust md second crops. The winter suppi.v of potatoes in the smith should be obtained from the second crop, according to specialists of the Tinted States department .f agriculture, liecause of a surplus of Irish potatoes from the first crop many farmers in the suth are ;ivviii'.' tlie department if it is advisable to try to carry this enq into the winter. lepartme;u spC'ialist do rot believe such a pratMce should be encouraged beiause it would require much better storage conditions than are ro v possessed or that could be provided e( onom ie.illj . The second crop. harested at a cooler season can bp stored successfully in heap and nnlir.trv farm storage a n d kept until spring. Farmers should, howcr. be able hold a suftb tent ;a.intitv of to well-matured tubers if th !";rstcrop potatoes to sapply local and tate needs until the second crop is harvested. This may be done with a fair lU-grt e of success, th speciali ts say, in a cheap dugout such a s is commo.dy found on the truck farms in th" south.

How the Backyard Poultry-Keeper Can "Do His Bit" to Help Win War

IIV i'iior. JAMIIS Ii. M OILMAN. Former L"xprt for the Fruteil states hepartin'-nt of Agriculture. For the family that keeps fowl for home consumption of eggs and meat. the. dual-purpose Pre ls are best. Plymouth Hocks. Wyandottes. Orpingtons and Ilhr.de Island lieds are spb-ndid birds f(,- these purposes. They are good layers, and make prime table poultry. They fatten easily and cheaply. For cooking purposes no fat is superior to hen fat, and the dual-purpose hreeds are exceptionally tine for this. When the chickens are hutched early enough, pullets fron these breeds can be fitted for fall egg pro. duction. If the poultry house is small, the growing stock should not crowded. Limit the number of fouls to th sie of th house and yard. For the heavier breeds each layer should be allowed about fo;r feet of floor space, with a much outside run a possible. If the house is we'd ventilated, ithoroughly dry, has plenty of sunlight and space enough for the birds' comfort, the simplest structure will serve the purpose of housing fowl. Cleanliness ami drness are the essentials to success in housing poultry. Two piano boxes can be made into : cheap, but cry serviceable backyard poultry house, if made watertight, lame and sunlight are among the best natural disinfectants. If the house is well lighted, as it should be. and faces the south, sickness should be almost an unknown quantity, even if the fowls have no yard. Where fowls have yards, and this area is small, the ground soon becomes fowl and threatens the comfort and health of the flock. The yard should he dug up or scraped at hast once a month, ami then sprinkled with lime m some other disinfectant. If the yard space is sufficiently large, it is advisable to divide it into two parts. While the fowls are in one part, the other may be planted to a grain crop. During these war times, oats or rye will be the cheapest grain to sow. When the crop is from three to six inches high, the Hock should be turned into it. th other part of the yard sowed in the same manner. This plan not only keeps the soil sweet, but it provide succulent green feed for the llock. War Time Kations. Many persons who formerly kept fowls have sold their flocks because of the high price of pram feeds. This was a mistake. The increase in prices has not been one-sided. There has been a large increase in the price of egs and table poultry. The fact is, a small llock may be as" profitably hamlkd as before wartime juices. If the reader has the facilities for keeping fowls, let him start right in again to keep them. If there is a small back yard, fit tip a place for the few fowls at once. Halanoed rations may be combined from the cheapest feeds, which will provide for normal growth in the young stock and do for fattening or egg production in the older fowls. In fact, the backyard poultry-keeper is especially fortunate, since wastes from the table may be used to good advantage. Fven weeds from the garden and grass clippings can be used. A cheap war-time ration is a drymash mixture of two parts bran, and one each of middlings, alfalfa and beef scrap. This may be fed dry in hoppers. A mixture of equal parisj of scratch feed, corn and oats makes a good grain ration. These feeds provide the needed amounts of protin, carbohydrates and fat for a balanced ration. It is advisable that the fowls be fed equal parts of th mash and grain. A pen of lu or a dozen d ial purpose fowls should he al.owed al out one quart each of mash and grain daily. The lighter 'reeds, like Leghorns, should be allowed these amounts for 1 ä birds. (Irowing pullets should be given all they will eat of these ration?. They ned abundant food to be fitted for normal development and for egg production m fall and winter. It is bad economy to stint voting stock, dive them all they w ill eat, and later they will repay the debt, with interest. Wa.-t-s from the table may h? us.d with the mash ration and the whole u--e.l as a wet mash. Potato skins and small potatoes should be boiled and mixed with t ho mash, whit h mikes an excellent poultry feed. It" the table wasfs contain suth. ient meat, the beef scrap may be omitted from the mash. If the poultry-keeper has a garden, the weeds should be pulled and cut up for the flock. Many weeds are thoroughly appetizing, are nutritious, and ( orret t the bail effects of overfeeding with corn. In preparing voung pullets for laying, an abundance of green stuff is better than too much corn. Moldy corn should r.ev er be ft d. At the prevailing prices for meats and poulr, cockerels should besohl for 1 roi'.ers as soon as possible. Only pellets should he kept. The quarters hit tided for them should be cleaned, whitewashed, and made ready at ! an early date. Moving layers is a had practice. It is equally bad for pullets. It tends to check their development. As soon as possible in September or 'clober, the pullels should be placed in the house or pen they are to oeiv.py for tho winter. siKtt-s-rul llaixlliii- of lullts. pullets intended for fall production should have a little extra car.

PARTRIDGE The Partridge 'ochin is a descendant f the Shanghai which was the arictocrat of poultrydom in the early days of pure bred poultry culture in America. The Shanghais were later known as Cochin Chinas, and later still as Cochins. They were yellow, grey and red-jellow; the gray entered into the production of the .dark Hrahma, ami the reds which had black in their plumage, were progenitors of the present Partridge Cochin. P.ecause the plumage of the hen resembled that of the grouse, this variety was originally called the Partridge Grouse Cochin. In 1S4 7 some line specimens were imported from Kngland. ami gave impetus to the breeding of this variety, which and feeding cannot overcome this blood drain if the mites are numer-j otis. iney weaken the growing stork and prevent development. If possible pullets should be kept in a house and yard by themselves. The house should have a roosting place, scratching pen, elust bath and nesting places. Keep the pullets of? tall grass em wet er stormy days. I'se every precaution to keep them from getting bowel trouble or colds. Colds in the fall easily develop into roup, a disease which must be avoided. It may not prove fatal, but it will surely delay laying. . IVnlins for Tall ami Winter I-'kss.. If fowls have no means of exercising their scratching habits, they soon lose their vigor. To keep fowl?; busy, especially as the cold days approach, a scratching pen become?! a necessity. It should be provided with two er three inches of clean litter, into which the grain is thrown. The birds should be encouraged to work for all their grain feed. For litter a geiod combination is dried leaves, hay and straw in about equal proportion. Any coarse material, however, will serve equally well. Stone poultrymen recommend dry sand. If litter is used, the scratching pen should be cleaned once a week. The fine material may he used under the perches. This is euganic matter. It makes a good absorbent for the droppings, acts as a preservative, and forms a good fertilizer for gardens. A dust hath should be located in a dry place where the sun shines into it. The object of this is to enable the fowls to free themselves from lice. As necessary aids to egg production, the fowls should have oyster shells, grit ami eharcoal. These materials are especially needed when snow is on the ground and the layers are confined indoors. Green food of some kind should he fed. because it keeps fowls in health and stimulates the appetite. Alfalfa or clover in the wet mash, supplemented with cabbage, will serve this purpose. A continuous supply of green food may he obtained by sprouting oats or rye. a The epiestion often arises How many hens should be kept in a given space? Hoy much yard room is necessary? How many nests to provide for the llock? What perch room is required? In next week's article these and ather problems are ' answered in detail em a unit basis. .

COCHINS

now reaches its finest development here. The fowls attain enormous size, weighing seven to nine and onehalf pounds for females and nine to 11 pounds for males. They are regarded as the best layers of all the Cochin family and are esteemed for the production of capons. Their handsome coloration makes them favorites with fanciers. As a utility fowl the Partridge Cochin has always ben preferred to ether Cochins. It has the reputation of being a better layer, and is equally handsome when dressed. It ha yellow skin ami Icl's. and the eggs are rich, dark brown. The chicks are rugged ami grow fast, though, like all other Asiatics, they take a long time to mature. Dairy Product is More Nourishing and Should be Used More Extensively. "Store" cheese more properly known as American cheddar is more nourishing pound lor pound, than any meat and therefore should have a prominent place in the diet as a meat substitute, savs a statement issued by the I nited States department of agriculture. "Pew people in this country eat cheese in sufficient quantities for it really to form an important part of the daily fare." says the staiemeqit. "Indeed, it is used more often simply as an appeti.er or as a seasoning !or some either foot'. Xc":iy every one relishes good American cheddar or 'store' cheese, but there is an impression that 't is indigestible and constipating. I-'xtensive digestion experiments carried on by the department of agriculture have demonstrated that more than !." per cent of the protein ef cheese is digested and I'U pr cent of its eneru is available. 1'ven when eaten in large quantities and for long periods, ne case of imliecsti ui. constipation or ther disturbam e was observed in those who ate it. me man who ate chocs as the chief sour' -a of both protein and energy, ratinan average of .2 ounces daHv. with bread and fruit, for more than two years, did a fair amount of muscular work and kept in good health. "American chedd..r che est is a very satisfactory substitute for meat. It can be kept in storage for a long time, and contains mm h food! in small volume. "A pound of cheese supplies more than twi.'p as much energy as a 1 ound of foul or round steak and almost twite as much protein as the sa.ne amount of fowl or ham. Cheese, there Tore, is usually a cheaper fool than the meats. "Cheese can also be com! in. 1 in many palatable tlMie-.

an unusual emergency, railing for special provision to take care cf the stock. A severe winter and Iat .-ring exhausted the hay supp'y and forced use of the spring ranges before they had leached their normal state. To le ssen the losses which the western live stoc.c industry faced, the national forest ranges wer-? opened early. At the same time, the number of slot k permitted for the present season was raised to the i Mximum consistent with safeguarding future productiveness. It is fully recognized that the increases which have Peen made ii the allowance-s of stock on the national forests involve danger the the ranges will be depleted through ovei grazing-, but it i? believed by tho grazing experts of the .government that the emergency increases made can be taken tare of. at least this year, without material sacr.bce of productive capacity. The condition of the ranges is. however, beincarefully watched. Reliance i? placed also em the special efforts being made to secure the most intensive utilization consistent with sustained productiveness, by improved methods of handling the stock. T'.etter salting methods and the development of new watering places ar among the means employed for this purpose. At the close of the grazing season, a carefUl examination will be made

Indiana. "WHETHER OR NOT THE PRICE IS AS LOW AS IT SHOULD BE IS BESIDE THE QUESTION. IF WE DO NOT BUY AND STORE COAL NOW, IT IS DOUBTFUL WHETHER WE SHALL BE ABLE TO GET IT IN THE FALL AT ANY PRICE." The days when the consumer should be getting his coal are rapidly passing, and each day of delay makes the outlook just that much darker for the coming winter. High prices are serious enough in themselves, but there is something even WORSE THAN HIGH PRICES staring us all in the face, and that is a

IT (Loa

The retail coal merchants realize their obligation to supply the coal that the people need. While they desire to sell at as low prices as possible, PRICE IS SECONDARY TO THE COAL ITSELF. Most of the retail coal merchants hara coal in their yards now for which they have paid the high prices demanded at ths mines. They are prepared to deliver this coal now at prices that are reasonable on the basis of mine cost and handling expense. The present supply, however, will be only a drop in the bucket. Two weckt of normal buying will clean out every retail coal yard in the State. While there are cars to haul the coal, the yards can be filled again quickly, but with increasing transportation of war equipment and supplies and regular heavy fall and winter shipping, this favorable condition will not exist. When cold weather comit, everyone will want coal all at once. There will be a demand ten times greater than the available supply and at that time it will be impossible to renew the supply quickly. The result must be hundreds and thousands of cold homes this winter. Whether prices are lower or not, we urge the people of Indiana not io wait. Lower prices will help no one when there is no coal. There is only one way to be certain to be warm this winter and that is to buy your coal now. We present these farts, not for the sähe of sales and profits to the retail coal merchant, but in the hope that through serious consideration of this warning, the people may be able to get the coal necessary to keep Indiana, homes warm this winter.
