Burn Dead Amin Is.

In the attempt to stamp out hog
cholera and other contagious diseases
among live stock the matter of burn
ing all dead animals is one of cOnsid
cradle Importance. Outbreaks of dis
ease have frequently been traced to the
careless disposal of the carcass of an
infected animal Burning is much more
effective than burying, as the germs of
some diseases, as anthrax, for example,
retain their yirility for a considerable
length of time. Then in burying car
cases, unless they are placed very deep
in the ground there is always more or
less danger Of their being rooted or dug
out. Dogs will dig open such graves
and hogs will root them out.
Those who have attempted to bury
hog or horse viii readily appreciate the
statement that it is easier to burn than
bury them. A little kerosene and a
brush heap will soon dispose Of car
cass, with the certainty that all germs
are destroyed Some recommend the
construction of a specially arranged
furnace for this work, but On the ordi-
nary farm this would doubtless be an
added expense. 1t will not be a diff
cult matter on any farm to gather
enough trash, such as brush, old rails,
etc, to burn dead animal and the eX-
pense is inconSiderable. Anyway, it is
the only safe way to insure against in
lection.

Brief Hints,

Egg stains on silyerware can be re-
moved by rubbing them with common
table salt
A dash of cinnamon in a cup of choc-
olate after it is poured adds a nice
flavor
In baking bread or rolls put a sauce
pan of boiling water into the oven; the
steam will keep the crust smooth and
tender.
A little cream of tartar improves
frosting. and -four busted over the top
of a cake will prevent frosting from
running.
Save all lemon rind, dry it in the
oven, CRATE and store in an alright
tin. a little of this added to an apple
pie gives a delicious flavor.
washing dishcloths instead of using
soap or borax put quantity of soda in
the water and boil the dishcloths. The
grease and soda make soap that does
its own work.
Omelets are more tender if the eggs
are thinned with hot water instead of
milk. Before folding the plain omelet,
spread it. for a change, with a green
pepper minced fine. The pepper does
not need previous cooking.
Knife cleaning may be made easier
by dipping a piece Of raw potato in the
securing material, rubbing with that
instead of a cloth. The juice of the po-
tato is not only good cleaner in itself,
but it keeps the securing paste moist.
When baking a cake, if you have for
gotten the favOring, put a few drops
on the layer, cover it with a pan and
place in the oven. 1t will penetrate the
cake and the favor will be evenly dis
tributed through the same as if baked
in it.

American Agriculture.

Although agriculture in America is
young compared with some Of the Euro
pean and ASiatic countries, it has been
developed to such an extent that the
older countries look to US for ideas and
methods to help them solve the farm
problems they have to meet Our sci
entiSts and Investigators are among the
foremost in the world and as an agri-
cultural nation we need stand aside for
none. To be sure agriculture owes
many of its greatest scientific discov-
cries to English, German and French
experimenters, but in aggressiveness
and practical development of ideas
America is one of the leaders.
Other nations are sending their sci
entists to America to study how we do
things here. Our country presents most
Of the agricultural problems to be met
with in the countries of the old world
and we are finding out how to solve
them, and the old world wants to know
how we do it. \ japanese expert is
now in the United States to investigate
our methods of improving WORKOUT
soils. He says: We have in FOrmOsa
over 100000 acres under cultivation
and we want to find out how the United
States goes about it to improve the con-
ditiOn Of its land, SO we can improve
our country" This is but one instance
of where we are sending our ideas
abroad.
We have every reason to be proud of
our agricultural advancement, much of
which is due to our State experiment

breeding Dairy Cows.

In breeding dairy cows a man should
have a definite object in view Too
many shift from beef to dairy when
dairy products are low. and then shift
back again from dairy TO beef when
beef rises in value. By this method Il
man is constantly shifting from one
breed to another. and as a result he is
getting a herd that is good for neither
milk nor beef A man must have an
ideal toward which he is breeding and
then bend all his energies to that end
This shifting from one breed to another
is a suicidal policy that will ruin any
man and any herd.-Kansas Expert
