BAKED BEANS IN THE ARMY

DO you like baked beans and did you
ever eat them as prepared by the army
cooks?' asked an army officer of :: Star
man at Fort Myer. If you do like this
typical New England dish and will prepare
some in accordance with either of the fol-
lowing recipes, which are prescribed for
army usage, you will enjoy them all the
more If you never cared for them, try
one of the recipes and you will not be
sorry.
Baked beans are becoming almost a ma
tonal dish. They are a standby of the
dairy restaurants in Washington and other
large cities, as well as Boston which gets
the credit of developing its brain forces
upon them. They are special Saturday
night ana Sunday morning dish all through
new england, and in the lumber camps and
the army and navy, where nourishing food
at low cost is desired. they are staples.
This is what the army cooks do:
Baked Beans No. Soak the beans

SEA ISLAND COTTON

Even since Cuba became free and in
dependent country much has been heard
about the development of her latent posi-
bilities, and among these the raising Of
sea island cotton said S. r. Smith of Sa-
pannah to a Star man at the New Willard
today. Judging from the apparent en-
enlargement given the discussion about
growing this staple there. I take 1t that
all are not aware that. while first plaus-
ings thrive there It thereafter becomes an
impossibility to raise this staple profitably.
ITO the sea island trade 1t is well under
stood that the essential III raising this cot
ton is the quality of the seed. The seed
that produces the finest staple comes from
the sea islands of South Carolina. and the
farther in the interior they grow the less
capable they are of producing the best
stapled cotton. Without further detail
these facts are given to show the neces-
sity of clearing the old fields of all pre-
vious growth, which would produce cot
ton inferior to that of the previous year II
permitted to grow another season. A de-
parture from the use Of fresh seed from
the Stands for every crop means an infe-
rior staple.
1.-THE sea island belt of South Carolina.
Georgia and Florida Is within the lines
visited by frosts yearly at the right time
to kill the old growth and clear the fields
for the next planting. But for this all the
old growth would require grubbing. The
labor and expense Of this would probably
equal the work and cost of raising crop
within the frost lines. Cuba Is outside the
frost lines, hence to raise sea island cotton
the old growth must be removed from the
fields which would make the undertaking
practicable from business standpoint.
Competition with planters in the sea is
lands, who are relieved of this work by
timely frosts could not be met by the Gu
bans, hence the island will probably never
make this crop profitable one unless ma
ture puts them upon an equal footing with
the sea island belt in providing timely
frosts. The time of frosts is as important
to sea island cotton as 1t is to the fruit
belt Of the south.
Texas gives us an illustration of the fu-
tility of efforts to raise long cotton outside
back as the season of 1850 we find ct
tempts there to raise long cotton, when
during this season 202 bales were produced,
and thereafter around twenty bales yearly
until 1885 production closed with eleven
bales For ten years not bale was raised
In 1866 a Savannah house shipped seed
there when 991 bales were raised: in 1867
crop of 1887; in 1878 ten bales was the
crop: 1S99-1900 six bales, and since then
none All of which shows how the seed
soon deteriorates and the impracticability
of cultivation owing to climatic conditions
demonstrated.
Florida lost heavily some years ago by
the early frosts. which killed the orange
trees entailing great losses on the fruit
growers. But at the same time it Is said
that this change In the frost line has in
creased the area for raising sea island COT
ton which has now come to be among the
most valuable crops that state produces

OLD MATERIAL


L was much surprised and greatly inter-

chiefly Of empty fruit and vegetable cans

material was suited was food for goats or

tabiishment, which is a foundry, is window

for boats. The weight castings are very

like steel. About the only tool that can be
used Tor removing sprues and fms is the
hammer, as cold chisel or file will not
stand up to the work. The fracture of the
| round sash weights is smooth and shows
crystals radiating from the center like
spokes Of a wheel
After delivery at the foundry the cans
are first piled into large iron grating To-

This process consumes the label, loosens the
