ing vegetables are the best. Cab
bage or caulifiower which has been
overlooked is more or less yellow
in color and has a strong, undesir-
able flavor, while that cooked prop
erly is more of the natural color
and has delicate and pleasing
flavor.
Vegetables which naturally have
strong flavor, such as cabbage,
turnips, onions, parsnips, ETC.,
should be cooked in a large guam
tity of water, while the more deli
cately favored ones need less
water in the process. Vegetables
should be placed in boiling water
W hen the cooking is started.
The potato. which is our most
common vegetable, is most nutri-
tious when cooked with the skins
on, because Just under the skin is
found the potash salts which are so
beneficial to the body, and unless
the peeling which is removed is
very thin, this valuable part of the
vegetable is wasted.

Seasonable Poultry Hints.

De sure you nave HOt SdNeu
more chickens for this winter than
your coop will take care of. If
you have you may be sure
that you will not get very many
eggs and that you will have sick
chickens all the time.
The question of feed is going to
be an important one this winter
as all grades are higher than usual.
If we can do nothing else we can
demand better price for our eggs.
1t is not right that the producer
of the grain is getting the high
prices.
Arrange your chicken house so
you can supply plenty of fresh air
all the time. One of the principle
causes of disease in the flock is
that they do not have fresh air to
supply oxygen. The breathing
process of chickens is just like
that of man. 1t takes in oxygen
and throws off carbon dioxide,
which you know to be a deadly
poison. The only thing that there
remains for us to do. is to arrange
to take it away and supply fresh
air. In doing this we have one
caution and that is to do it so as
not to create a draft. This is es-
pecially true at night.
With strict game laws in nearly
every state we may expect to see
great increase in the demand for
squads. They form a very nice
companion to the chicken business
and really are help in as much
as they require but very little extra
attention. The feed is practically
the same. Ii we had a dollar for
every quail order that is filled with
squads we would not have to
worry about the money question
any more, unless it was how to
spend what we had.
The cause of most of the dis
eases that we fad in the poultry
yards is caused by the fact that
the owner has neglected to keep
the place clean. Filth is the home
of disease. Too many think that
when we say keep litter for the
chickens to scratch their grain out
of, that they are to allow filth and
all kinds of accumulation on
the floor. One thing to be avoid
ed is too much dust in the litter.
The time has come for you to
use that bone cutter. Have you
bought one yet? If not you will
be grumbling because your neigh
Dor gets eggs this winter and you
do not The increase in egg pro-
duction will pay for one in short
time and the machine will last a
life time if properly cared for:

Farriery.

feSSlOn they shall follow, Will do
we'll to investigate the new course
in farriery that opens up next
month at the state agricultural
college. Farriery, the art of cor
rectly shoeing horse, is not di-
vision of blacksmithing, it is an
Independent business in itself in
all the cities and larger towns.
An energetic young man can be
his own boss and own his own bus
mess establishment, as farrier,
with a small outlay of money. can
earn more cash from the start than
he could in many of the profess
sions. The young man who learns
farriery will be busy from the
hour he opens his establishment
and will have snug bank account
by the time his friend who spent
several years in preparing himself
for the practice of law has opened
his Office and begun the long,
grinding wait for clients
With the great development of
the horse breeding industry in the
west there has grown pressing
demand for skilled farriers or
horse shoers. At present in Colo
RADIO it is almost impossible to
find a skilled horseshoer who has
sufficient definite knowledge of
the anatomy of a horses foot and
the proper shoeing of it to ade-
quately conserve the usefulness of
the horse.
A horse is shod for various
reasons, chief of which are to pro-
tect the foot from excessive wear,
to prevent injury and increase the
usefulness of the animal by pre-
venting slipping on hard, frozen
or too smooth pavements and
roads, to rectify in part faulty con-
formation of the feet and legs and
to improve the action and gener-
al usefulness of the animal. The
proper balancing and gaiting of
\ driving or carriages horses has be-
come a very important considera-
ton, not only adding materially to
their value on the market, but in
creasing to marked degree their
usefulness for the purpose intend
ed. That farrier may be COM
petent to properly affix suitable
shoe to horses foot to accom-
plish the objects allowed mentioned
it is absolutely essential that he
have specific and intimate know
ledge of the anatomy and physi-
ology of the foot and leg of the an
imal
In this new course students will
be trained in the elements of
smithing in the regular forge room
of the college. The care and man.
agement of the smiths fire will be
taught first, as this is an important
matter. Then set of forgings
will be made; these forgings are
Systematically arranged SO that the
student may be taught and adj
vanced as rapidly as possible.
They will begin with simple forg-
ings in iron, bringing in drawing,
upsetting, bending and welding.
Advancing gradually, the art of
working steel follows the work in
iron, and the student is taught to
forge and temper steele, and make
the various tools of his own trade.
After reaching this stage in his
training the real business of horse
shoeing, or farriery, is taken up.
The student is now taught the
anatomy and physiology of the
horse; the foot especially is con-
sidered, the bones of the foot are
studied, the articulation of the
foot, the locomotory organs of the
foot, the elastic parts of the foot,
the blood vessels and ner-es, and
the protective organs of the foot
are all carefully studied. The
foot relation to the entire limb is

The Cooking Of Vegetables.

UuJ lbs Iuey are 50 Ollel poorly
cooked and as they form the main
diet of SO many of our thinking
people, it surely is not out of
place to devote some time to the
methods of cooking them SO they
will be nutritious.
Like many of our foods, vege-
tables are composed mainly of
water but all the elements needed
by the body can be found in the
vegetable kingdom. Here we Sc
cure our supplies of starch and
sugar but we find smaller amount
of protein and fat than in our ami
NAL foods. We find large amount
of woody fiber or cellulose in vege-
tables which is a great obstacle to
be overcome in their cooking.
When plants grow rapidly with
plenty of water and sunshine there
is less of this woody fiber found in
their structure, but in late sea-
son when the vegetables grow slow
ly, and if there is a small amount
of moisture, the plants are found
to contain a great deal of this sub
stance and unless cooked until
this substance is soft, it irritates
the intestines so that all the food
is hurried through before diges-
tion is completed. This fiber,
though of very little food value,
has its function in the body as it
gives the necessary bulk which
aids in the mechanical process,
About the simplest way to cook
vegetables is to boil or steam them,
and a great many cooks make a
mistake in boiling them. The
woman who understands science
knows that the vegetables do not
boil. but that it is the water which
boils and the heat which is con-
veyed by this medium cooks the
starch and softens the cellulose of
the vegetable. Physics has taught
our cook that under ordinary pres
sure water becomes no warmer af-
ter the boiling point is reached
(212 degrees F. and $50 degrees
c.. Therefore she allows the
water to remain at the boiling
temperature until the heat has
penetrated and cooked the potato
or whatever vegetable she is cook
ing, and then she removes the
water at once and has mealy,
fiakey potato, or properly
cooked one.
Without this knowledge she
might continue the cooking until
the starch is partly dextrinized,
and gummy, sticky potato is the
result. The unscientific cook is
likely to endeavor to hasten the
process of cooking by adding more
fuel and keeping the water boiling
at a rapid pace during the process.
which is IA waste of fuel and the
rapid motion of the water often
causes the vegetable to cook
up into small pieces, which, in
many cases, is very undesirable.
The overlooking of vegetables
changes and toughens the texture
of vegetable foods and destroys
the chlorophyll and other coloring
materials, as well as volatilizes
and Injuries the bodies which con-
tribute to the flavor. Overlooked
vegetables are not so pleasing in
appearance and flavor, and are Of
ten indigestible and unpalatable.
Cabbage contains compara-
lively large proportion of sulphur
and if improperly cooked, is very
indigestible; while if it is prop
erly cooked, it is easily digested
by most people and is very palat-
able. 1t is one of our most useful
vegetables, as it is available dur
ing the autumn, winter and spring
months, when other vegetables are
scarce and high in price. The
