YEAST is A PLANT.


But 70 Can Be Seen ~ Such Only
sMll With tho Microscope.
Yeast Is a small plant which can be
seen only with the aid Of the micro
scope, says Good Health. There are
two varieties, wild and cultivated, for
these tiny plants can be Improved
through cultivation, az larger plants
can be.
Firms which make yeast for the
market must grow these plants quite
as carefully as the florist grows his
flowers. Care must be taken that they
do not become mixed with other varle-
ties, therefore destroying the culture.
In some laboratories where yeast Is
grown two separate buildings are kept
for this purpose. These are both care
fully dlslnfectcd. and II It Is found
that the yeast becomes contaminated
In one building the culture Is started
anew and the other building previously
dlGinfected before moving into 1t.
This plant. like bacteria. requires

rials out Of which the bread is made
should always be warmed. and the
dough should always be kept In a
warm place. The temperature most

wheat, there being some sugar In the

from the starch.
AS the yeast plants feed upon sugar
they break 1t down into two sub.
stances. alcohol and gas known as
carbon dloxlde or carbonic acid gas.
As the gas is formed 1t Is held by the
gluten. which Is very elastic sub.
stance. When the bread is put into the
oven the heat expands the tiny bub-
bles Of gas. causing the bread to rise
or to become much lighter. The alco-

How to Feed.

Numerous tests by the state expert
ment stations have shown over and over
that feeding animals out of balance of
food constituents ia very wasteful.
When fed balanced ration of protein
and carbonaceous foods, the ration is
digested and assimilated without waste,
and when fed too much of the one and
not enough of the other. Such is the
basis of profitable feeding Of domestic
animals. Food that is consumed and is
not digested and assimilated is lost, of
course. But that is not all. The un-
digested food is positive harm. 1t ir-
ritates and poisons. Poison is exactly
the right word to use. 1t has been
found that the undigested food produces
a real poison. Hence not only the gain
but the thrift and health of the animal
depend on its digesting and assimilating
its food.
But, further, the food digested and
assimilated by the animal is divided
into two pOrtions-the food of support
and the food gain. Even a wsll-fed
animal uses about one-hslf of it's food,
or even more, as the food of support-to
supply the waste of it's body. The man
with a good appetite digests his food
we'll because his digestive organs are in
good condition, and for the further rea-
son that because he has good appetite
the glands that secrete the fluids that
produce digestion are very active and
pour out those fluids on the food abun-
dantly. And 1t Is just so with the horse
or COW or steer or sheep or hog. And
because the animal digests and assimi-
lates it's food we'll 1t has a keen appetite
and eats heartily, and therefore its food
for gain is a large part of the food ii
consumes, and it pays good price for
its food. 1t is being fed at profit

Packing Ice CheaplY.

A separate building for storage of ice
is, perhaps, a good thing, but If you
have no such building do not let the fact
keep you from putting up ice. A cheap.
ly constructed bin in the corner of any
old shed, or even outdoors, with tight
roof, will answer. If the ice is stored
outside with only roof and sides, 1t ia
best to put in ceiling between ice and
roof. l have always used sawdust as
covering, and just as soon have that
which is year old as to have new. /
use to 10 inches sawdust on the bot
tom and sides and II to IS inches on top.
The only drainage l ever give is the
natural drainage of the soil. Be sure
that no water stands under the body of
ice. usually set the cakes fiat, the
same as they come out of the pond. An
important point is to pack as closely as
possible and fill In all crevices with
snow to exclude the air. Do not put in
less than l 1-2 cords ice, for there will
be large amount of waste If you do.
The larger the body Of ice the better II
will keep. 1t should be packed high,
rather than wide and fiat. Keep an eye
on it during the summer, and see that
the sawdust is tamped down around the
edges.-C. P. Olin, Grafton County, N.

Feeding Young Stock Profitably.

Keeping your stock on maintenance
ration is never profitable, for 1t is the
growth that brings the profit. A friend
Of mine recently sold bunch of pigs,
which weighed around eighty pounds
each, at $2.75 q head. He claimed he
could not see anything in them when
feeding 75.cent corn. believe one can
feed 75-cent corn to 7-cent hogs, and
make some money. When grain is high
and milk stuff is high many short ration
young stock and try to get them to mar
ket on the least amount of grain pos.
sible. The results are poor stuff and
poor price. I firmly believe In econom.
ical feeding, but skimping on the feed
do not consider economical by any
means. High price grains will undoubt.
edly insure high prices for livestock
even higher than the present level.
The man who has the nerve to pour his
costly feed into his stock will, believe
make money, providing he looks after
the other essentials of his operations.
In the first place, l should feed not only
to good animals, and in the next place
should have preciseness about my feed
ing methods. 1t will hardly do to be al

The Century Plant,

The century plant, so named becaus !,
Of the popular idea that it blooms but
once In hundred years, in one sense
makes good its name, for 1t blooms
only once, then dies. In the genial
climate Of southern California 1t reach
es maturity and blooms in fifteen or
twenty years, while in colder climates
the period may range from forty to
fifty years. There are many species Of
the agave family native to northern
Mexico, where 1t is called the maguey.
The plant furnishes "pulque," the ma
tional drink Of Mexico. At the time OF
blooming the plant throws up single
stock Of rapid growth to the height OF
twelve to twenty feet, from which the
tassel-like flowers sprout forth. This
great flower stalk draws all the sap
and vigor from the body Of the plant,
which soon withers and dies.

Quarantine to Save Maine Cattle.

At the Bangor House recently, a
special meeting was held by the Maine
State Board of Cattle Commissioners,
posed of r. o. Beal, Bangor, chair
man; John NJ. Deering of Saco, and
Frank S. Adams of Bowdoinham, for the
purpose of considering the situation
with regard to the foot and mouth
disease now so prevalent among the cat
tie of Michigan.
This matter has engaged the attention
of the members of the board for some
weeks, and at the meeting in view Of the
action taken by other states, by the
federal government and by foreign coun-
tries, it was decided to declare rigid
quarantine against all cattle from out
side the state coming into Maine, until
further notice by the board.
Chairman Beal stated that the cattle OF
this state are now in unusually good
condition, and that it is the intention of
the board to use every effort to keep
them so. Should the foot and mouth
disease gain entrance to Maine the loss
might and probably would reach into
the hundreds Of thousands. Turf, Farm
