Winter F0rRge

The question Of winter forage and
paSturage is one of the greatest i'm
portance in the Southern States. and
Carleton r. Ball, of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, was sent by the De
partment of Agriculture early in the
year to make an investigation in sew
eral Of the Gulf States. In his report
Mr.. Ball says, amongst other things
THE production Of Southern hay has
been a question long under discussion.
The amount produced and the yield per
acre have both increased steadily and
encouragingly during the last few
years. On every hand it is admitted
that it is both possible and necessary
to raise all that is needed for homo
consumption. Alfalfa, Bermuda grass.
Johnson grass, crGbgrass and cowpeas
furnish an abundance OF hay of the
very best quality. This hay can be pro
duced much more cheaply than an
equal quality can be shipped in from
Northern and Western States. With
better transportation facilities and an
increasing demand, the production will
become more and more profitable At
the same time. with hay raised on the
home plantations, ard hence cheaply
and readily available, larger quantities
are being used in feeding the planta-
tiOn stock

Merchants Visit Milwaukee,

This is the season when merchants
throughout the Northwest are turning to
Milwaukee for their spring and summer
stock. Milwaukee jobbers and manu-
facturers have in turn prepared for the
occasion. A visit to the metropolis of
Wisconsin will repay those who intend
to purchase their stock of spring goods
or place an order for machinery in any
of the renowned factories.
Milwaukee jobbers deserve the patron
age of the business men of this city.
They offer good goods and as splendid a
display at right prices as can be found
anywhere. The absolute superiority of
the product of Milwaukee's manufac-
lures is known throughout the world
The reduction of the railroad fare to two
cents mile has brought Milwaukee
more closely in touch with merchants
generally who may now travel at mini
mum cost with maximum profit. While
in Milwaukee a visit to the rooms of the
Milwaukee Association of JObbers and
Manufacturers, 1910 University Build
ing, will bring any information that is
needed.

Little mats of felt Or soft material

When filling oil lamps place a small
lump Of camphOr in the oil vessel: it

If you have no camphor add a few
drops of vinegar occasionally.
When using eggs, break away just
enough of the smaller end of the shell

Wash the shells carefully: then put
them away in some safe place At jel-

Prisoner Went to Supper Too.

A deputy sheriff in Muskogee county
arrested prisoner and took him to the
courthouse the other night. The deputy
was hungry, so he handcuffed the man,
tied him to a chair and went TO supper.
The prisoner decided that he wanted
something to eat in the meantime, so he
smashed the chair, got free from the
rope, slipped off his handouts and went
to supper himself. When the deputy re-
turned and found his prisoner gone there
was a terrible furore around the court
house and a search was organized. About
this time the prisoner walked in, picking
his teeth. He calmly announced that he
had gone out to supper.-Muskogee Cor.

Frozen MIX.
erWOnlan

Whenever milk is scarce in the cities
that it be shipped from distant points
in frozen condition.
This idea has been frequently sug
gested during the past years, but it does
not seem to be coming into practical
use. The latest suggestion is that the
fresh milk should be frozen by sub
merging the sealed cans in brine chilled
far below the melting point of ice. The
milk would not only be frozen. but
would be cooled still further to a hard,
dry ice, which, it is claimed, would re
main in the solid form after removal
for a day or two before the entire
mass would rise to a melting point,
the keeping qualities being much su-
periOr to that of milk which is merely
frozen at common temperature.
The operating plan would be to es-
tablish a freezing plant at the cream
cries and milk stations, the frozen
product to be shipped in ordinary cans,
thus doing away with the present high
cost of refrigerating cars.
1t is claimed that frozen milk kept
over a month in refrigerator room
showed no change in taste on thawing
and that the cream remained evenly
mixed throughout the solid mass. not
rising, as it would when milk is merely
kept liquid at low temperature. Milk
for freezing would need to be in fresh.
clean condition when frozen, else its
keeping period would be very short
after melting. If this plan ever comes
into favor, it would greatly increase
the competition in the business of sup
plying milk in the great cities.
