COHN NEEDED FOD
BREAD -SAVE I!
Do Not Feed Corn To Your Stock—
Utilize Pastures—Corn Will Soon
Be Needed For Bread.
By L. W. Osborn, College of Agricul
ture, University of Arkansas.
Save the corn as far as possible in
feeding the live stock. The wheat
crop is short and we may need our
corn for bread before another year.
Be sube to use your pastures to tl»e
best advantage. Have plenty of cow
peas, soy beans, peanuts and sorghum.
Remember, hogs make their biggest
and cheapest gains on these crops.
Use com only to harden hogs. TYirk
hardened on a com ration two or three
weeks before planting is found to be
quite acceptable to packers.
Spanish peanuts planted well along
in July will mature and can be plow
ed out and cured on poles in the field
in the usual way. The nuts can be
picked and marketed for oil or con
fectionary purposes, and the tops used
for hay. Soy beans can be cut for hay
or allowed to mature and harvested
for seed if the season is long enough.
There is a shortage in the supply of
Mammoth soy beans at this time, and
a good demand for seed is likely t.o
prevail next season. Paint manufac
turers are making a strong bid for
supplies for soy bean seed to be used
in making oil. Cowpeas can be har
vested profitably for hay and the seed
obtained at the same time. Late corn
can usually be used to best advan
tage when the entire crop is harvested
and the whole plant used for feed.
CAN THE SURPLUS.
Do not forget that a pint of beans
or peas or some other vegetable saved
each day throughout the summer will
furnish a large supply of food for
the family next winter. Circulars
have been prepared for free distribu
tion by Miss Emma Archer, in charge
of the home demonstration work with
the Extension Division of the Univer
sity of Arkansas on how to can string
beans, peaches, tomatoes, corn,
beets, peas, lima beans, peppers, car
rots, okra, and plums. Instructions
will also be furnished upon applica
tion for brining pickles, making sour
kraut and caring for sweet potatoes.
Save the Berries.
Many kinds of berries are consid
ered valuable food as well as good
aessert. Do not let them go to waste.
The following general instructions
can be followed in putting up most of
the berries found in Arkansas:
To sterilize the iar&, nut is the tiot
tom of the pan a towel or an inverted
pie pan (o keep the intense heat from
breaking the jars. Lay the jars side
down, also put in the pan the glass
caps or screw tops. Cover the jars
with eold water and add a teaspoon of
soda. Bring this solwly to the boiling
roint and continue for 15 minutes.
Dip the rubbers in boiling water when
j ready for use.
Two quarts of crushed berries will
I make enough juice to can 10 quarts
of berries. Put berries in preserving
: kettle; heat slowly to boiling, crush,
! strain through cloth, pressing out all
the juice. To one quart of this juice
add two-thirds of a pound of sugar
and make a syrup, or to one gallon of
I juice add three pounds, nine ounces
i sugar to make the syrup. Let the
I syrup cool.
Select berries uniform in size and
quality. Put berries in colander or
sieve and wash by po».iring or running
; water over them before ,they are
stemmed, as much of the juice of the
berries will be lost by handling them
too much. After stemming the berrte*
take jars from the water and stand on
a towel that has been wet in not
water.
Fill the jars with berries and pour
on the cooled syrup full to overflow
ing. Press very carefully the fruit,
from the sides with the handle of a
silver spoon or a paddle for this pur
pose to allow the air to escape. Wipe
the top of the jar, put the rubber on
and lay the glass top on or screw the
top half way down. Place jars on
| wooden rack in water the same tem
perature as the contents, letting it
come to within two inches of the tops
of jars. Have a tight cover for the
basin to keep in the steam. Do not
count time until the water begins to
boil. Keep it boiling steadily for the
time required.
Exhaust in quart jars two minutes.
Seal the jars air tight promptly at the
end of that time and process 10 min
utes. Remove them from the boiling
water, being careful not to allow a
draft to strike the glass jars. If cans
are used, the enamel lined can must
be obtained as tin will turn them
white. Glass jars are preferable for
canning berries.
Berries intended for cooking pur
poses need not have sugar cooked with
them, but should be canned the same
as with sugar.
Crushed Strawberries.
One pound of sugar for every three
Of four quarts of strawberries.
Put a layer of strawberries and
then sugar, until all the sugar is used
tor the above amount. Let stand over
night. In the morning boil juice and
berries 10 minutps. Pack in hot stert- |
lized jars. Seal, then process 10
minutes in the usual way.
Daily Thought.
A single grateful thought turned
heavenward is the most perfect pray
er.—Lessing.

First almanac printed by George von
Furback in 1400.
Keep oyster shells, charcoal and
suitable grit before the hens at all
times.
Vegetables of some kind should be
fed the poultry the year round—cab
bage, potatoes, beets, turnips, etc.
Poultry droppings are possibly not
fully esteemed for their value as a fer
tilizer in the field and garden.
When the mornings are cold, take
the chill off the drinking water, but do
not make it warm.
Where feather-eating is practiced
try giving the fowls some sulphur, one
teaspoonful in the soft feed of every
three fowls, two times a week.
The incubator lamp should be filled
and cleaned every day at noon. This
will give ample time to regulate the
flame by night.
A cackle over an egg is a good deal
better than a cackle over gossip.
Changing feed will sometimes start
hens to laying that are not doing so.
Ureen bones dropped into the rung«
and allowed to burn, not only make
plenty of heat but furnish excellent
charcoal for the poultry.
Chickens and lice do not thrive wel
together. The lice generally get the
best of the deal at the expense of the
chickens. Lice are not salable. Get
rid of them.
I Many a man who will not use s
I poor alow, and many a woman yv'hl
t4
wants' the 6est coofcstove" or range
will still spend their time taking cart
of a poor hen. They are all just tools
The best is none too good and is alwayt
the most profitable.
Most of European Rulers
Have Also Become Monarchs
In the World of Business
Royalty does other things than rul
ing. In the business world many of
Europe's crowned heads are said to
have achieved notable success, the fol
lowing examples of which are pointed
out by a writer in Tit-Bits:
The king of Spain is the proprietor
of a large motor and bicycle factory
near Madrid.
The kaiser runs a cafe at Potsdam,
close to his castle gates. He also re
ceives lnrge dividends from a lager
beer brewery In Hanover; and he Is
the sole owner of the big and flourish
ing porcelain works at Cadinen, which
return him a profit of about 9 per cent
on a capital of $500,000.
King Peter of Servia owns a shav
ing saloon and chemist’s shop in Bel
grade. Before the war, his majesty
was the agent for a well-known
French motor car.
The queen of Holland supplies
from her dairy, near the palace at Ilet
Loo, a large proportion of milk con
sumed by buyers in Amsterdam.
Before the war the king of Wurt
temberg drew a net profit of at least
$50,000 a year from the hotels he
owned in the Black Forest.
The beautiful queen of sorely strick
en Roumania started, a few years ago,
a factory for manufacturing tooth
picks. So successful was this enter
prise before the war, that her majesty
was able to make quite a ^omfortuble
income out of it.
The czar of Russia Is a timber mer
chant. The duke of Ulrich of Wurt
temberg owns one of the largest cor
set factories In the world. The grand
duke of Saxe-Weimer Is a butcher.
Archduchess Frederick of Austria
Invested nearly $2,500,000 In a candle
making factory near Budapest. The
king of Denmark confines his commer
cial ventures to the stock exchange,
and has made many considerable
“deals.”
The king of Sweden has a large In
terest In a Stockholm brewery. A
large brandy distillery Interests the
new emperor of Austria.
King Albert of Belgium, when a
young man, courted fickle fortune as a
reporter on an American paper at a
salary of $15 a week.
The king of Bulgaria enjoys the rep
utation of being the shrewdest and
wiliest of all royal business men. He
owns theaters, cinemas, tobacco facto
ries, dairies and has mode considera
ble sums on the Austrian stock ex
change.
