The United States Forest Service
has a plan for the utilization OF the
wonn-out farms or the country-a
scheme to make them a paying pro-
position. The idea is simply to plant
trees.
AN Ohio farmer suggesusu the
scheme. He owns a homestead where
farming has been a losing proposition.
He has therefore decided to plant the
entire tract with trees. Norway
spruce has been selected as the tree,
and as soon as they are large enough
they will be sold for Christmas trees
-'and by the way, Christmas trees
bring first class prices.
One OF the fundamental principles
of forest economies, say the experts,
is that soil which Is not good enough
to make the growing profitable.
should be devoted to the production
of wod crops not cereal crops This
does not mem that trees grow better
on poor soil than on fertile soil, But
In proportion to the money invested
better returns are secured from trees
planted on the less valuable land.
The Ohio farmer mentioned above
expects to plant chestnut in the blank
spaces left after removal of the first
crop OF Christmas trees. About the
time when the last spruce Is cut.
II Is predicted that the chestnut will
be ready for the axe. In addition,
catalpa, block locust, elm, boxelder,
and sycamore will be planted. All of
the trees mentioned are excellent
for the purpose; growing we'll on less
fertile land and furnishing COM
.paratively quick return ON the mon
icy invested

The Sill, 100000 dry dock for the
Mare Island Navy Yard, now In
course of construction at Vallejo,
Cal. will be completed in January.
Francis B. Smith, constructing en-

Washington this week comforting with
officials OF the Navy Department.
The new dock will be of concrete
throughout, and Smith talks interest
ingly of the difficulties which the
contractors have encountered "In

Make Your Milk Dishes
With Whole Milk.

You don't get the whole milk when
you buy from the milkman. The reason
is this:
Milk that stands awhile separates.
The butter fat rises and the solids fall.
So you get all the butter fat only when
served from the top of the can.
Thus you are surprised, when you first
cook with Van Camps, at the delicious
flavor it gives to milk dish. You won
der what we have added-what we have
done-to make the milk seem so good.
We have added nothing at all. Van
Camps is simply the whole, rich milk,
just as it comes from the COW. You get
all of the butter fat, all of the solids.
You never get them all in raw milk.
That flavor belongs to your cooking.
You will get it every time in milk dishes
made with Van Camps.
We issue Cook Book-free. 1t tells
how to make all sorts of milk dishes,
and gives the whole cost of each. Ask
us to send it to you.

ness of cleanliness.
Then the milk is sterilized after the
cans are sealed. Not germ of any kind
can remain in it.
Please think what that means
In Washington, d. c., it was recently
found that II per cent of the dealers
were selling tubercular milk. Seven per
cent of the milk, taken from 400 sam
pies, proved fatal to guinea pigs. The
pigs died of tuberculosis.
That's but one of the risks you take
in using raw milk. Any disease germ
that gets into milk breeds millions more
like it within few hours
A great deal of illness is known to be
due to infections conveyed by milk Can
you think of reason for taking such
risks when you can get Van Camps?

It's Economical.

Van Camp's-with all of its good
ness-is cheaper than milkman's milk.
It's as thick as thick cream. So thick
that you add one part water for coffee.
Yet it doesn't cost half what you pay
your milkman for cream.
Add two parts water and you have
rich milk. The cost of such milk, when
you buy Van Camps by the case, runs
about six cents per quart.
Then you have no waste-no milk left
over. That saving in year is enormous.
And Van Camps means COW in your
kitchen. Rich milk or cream always on
tap. And always fresh-always the
same.
Yet such milk, in such shape, costs
ysu actually less than raw milk bought
az you want it.
