SAVE TIE APPLE WASTE,

In every Iowa orchard there are
bushels and bushels of apples that
threaten to 60 to waste because there
seems to be no market for them.
Save them; press them, make cider
vinegar IF them and later on sell
the vinegar with good profit for
your time and labor.
That is the advice Of the horti-
cultural department OF Iowa state
college, and it offers the following
practical suggestion on making this
vinegar:
Gather the fallen apples or those
from the trees when they are almost
ripe, not over-ripe. Grind them
thoroughly in a cider mill, press out
the juice and put it in large tank
or vat. Allow it to settle for few
days, draw off the clear liquid and
put it in barrels. Whisky barrels
will be all right. Scald them out
with hot water or steam and fill them
about two-thirds or three-fourths full
from the large tank for fermentation.
n Cdhc VI CIcloCIlustaIIh ySoSS VIC
solved in each barrel will hasten this
process. When the working has end
ed, draw of the vinegar, rinse out
the barrels and refill Add to each
barrel from two to four quarts of
cider vinegar which contains some Of
the mother, or that skin found on
the top of old vinegar. If your room
is low in temperature, such as a
cellar, it will probably require six
months before the first racking takes
place. If it is warmer, say from 10
to rs degrees, it will take much less
time. In anywhere from 6 to "a
depending on conditions,
vinegar will! be fit to comply with the
Iowa pure food law. Then it may be
sold at good price and with good
profit. Apples that would otherwise
90 to waste may be saved for use
very effectively in this way.

BY Neale s. Knowles, Extension De-
partment Iowa State College.
Dishwashing need not be an I'M
pleasant task. If you dislike to wash
dishes, try to find better way to
do it. Work is always unpleasant
if it is poorly done.
l want to give you a few sugges-
lions about washing dishes. l want
you to try these suggestions and see
how you like them.
Precautions-While food is cooking
watch it carefully, so it will not stick
to the sides of the dish. Scrape all
cooking dishes thoroughly, leaving no
food sticking to the sides of the dish.
Soak dishes which contain bits of egg
in cold water. Soak all cooking uten-
sis as soon as used. Wipe grease
from any cooking dish with paper.
and burn the paper. Soak greasy
dishes in boiling water and soda as
soon as used. Write black from the
bottom of kettles and stew pans with
paper, and burn the paper.
Have good supply Of boiling
water. Have soap, Sapolio or Dutch
Cleaner, ready to use. Have one
good clean dish cloth for the finer
dishes and another for the tins and
other cooking utensils. Have enough
clean wiping towels to make the
dishes thoroughly dry. An iron dish
cloth and a rubber plate scraper are
great conveniences. Be sure to have
a large dish pan and good dish
drain or rinsing pan.
Scrape dishes thoroughly. Pile
dishes of . kind together. Fill the
pan half full of hot, soapy water. It
is best to have the soap in a soap
shaker because it saves soap Wash
the glasses first. Rinse them with
clear water and dry them. Wash the
silver next, and rinse and dry 1t.
Begin to wash the china, and add
hot water to the dish water frequent
w. Rinse dishes with clean hot
water before wiping and use dry
clean wiping cloth. Be sure to change
the dish water if it becomes greasy.
After the china is washed use the
other dish cloth for the cooking uten-
sis as it is likely to become stained.
When all dishes have been washed,
wash the dish cloths thoroughly In
hot, clean water to make them alb
solutely clean. Hang them in light
airy place to dry.
Points To Be Remembered.
1. Clean dishes can only como
from clean water, clean dish pan,
and a clean dish cloth.
2. Bits of food which lodge in the
cracks of dishes ferment and make the
dish unfit for use because those bits
of fermented food help to cause
disease.
3. Damp, greasy dish cloths, hung
in a warm dark place, are dangerous
to health, because disease germs
grow best in an unclean place that IL
warm and not exposed to sunlight.

Ad vaIorem System Favored.

The temporary tax commission do
cided to recommend to Governor Car
roll the ad valorem system of taxa
ton. The ad valorem system takes
no regard of the ability of the citi-
zen to pay the tax, but instead places
a general, uniform assessment upon
all classes of property.
The decision to recommend the ad
valorem system of assessment and
taxation was not reached, however,
until the commission has spent many
days in discussion, and then only by
q division. 1t is understood that
when it comes time to make the rec
ommendation to Governor Carroll
that there will be q minority report
on the ad valorem proposition.
The commission adjourned until
about the first of December, when a
continuous session lasting month
will be started.
AS result Of the falls work the
commission has practically outlined
a comprehensive system. 1t pro-
vides two centralized authorities, ono
state and the other county. The state
authority is to be supreme in every
thing, more advisory, however, than
active. The county authority is to be
the supervisor of assessments, who
shall have power to appoint the To-
cal assessor for each city, town and
township and who shall be supreme
as to county taxes. They will be CIV
en- an ad valorem system to admin
lister.

BOGUS SCALES UNCOVERED
Report 10 Made To State Commits
sioner Of Astonishing Condi.
ton In Southeast Iowa.

Des MOines.-Twenty-nine out OF
every thirty scales in the retail stores
of Iowa, SO far as he has investigat-
ed, have been tempered with to cheat
the customer, according to report
made to Commissioner Barney of the
food and dairy department by In
spector Flynn. Inspector Flynn has
completed a tour of southeastern
Iowa, giving practically all of his at
tention to the weight and measure
frauds.
The report says: 'Twenty-nine out
of every thirty scales which l ex-
amined l found to have been tamper-
ed with in the interest of the deal
er. The average loss is from one to
two ounces. The trick is done by
bending the dial on the side Of the
scale which faces the customer so
that it starts at from one to two
ounces ahead of the zero mark on the
scale. The customer seldom looks
at the scale before the article Is put
onto it, but he always watches, II he

ed. When the dial points to sixteen
ounces the customer is satisfied that
he has received full measure. If he
could see the other side of the scale,
that which is toward the dealer, he
would find that the dial registered
from fourteen to fifteen ounces.
Il find also that dealers over the
state are using the false bottom or
no bottom measures. l picked up
one of these at prominent Daven.
port store the other day. l carried
it in and the dealer said it held
half bushel. filed it with potatoes,
weighed the crate into which the po-
tatoes were emptied, and found that
the half bushel measure was seven
pounds shy in legal weight. That
means a loss of fourteen pounds to
I the bushel by buying your potatoes

Beet Sugar Men Given a LIT.

oeet sugar wen 0lven LII.
The sugar beet industry in Iowa
was given a material lift by the
state railroad commission when it
made rule allowing some of the BY
product to take the same rate as
corn and other animal foods.
When beet sugar is being manu-
tctured there is created a by-prod-
lct which makes an excellent feed
for cattle. Heretofore the beet sugar
manufacturers could not dispose Of
sis by-product at profit because of
The rate that was charged by the
railroads for it's transportation.
BY reducing the rate to the corn
and general feed rate the commits
sion has made it possible for this
new beet feed to compete with the
older kinds of animal food. In this
way the promoters Of the beet sugar
industry in Iowa will be enabled to
see more profits in the plants and it
is believed that with this chance of
adding to the profits of the industry
there will be general stimulating
of the beet sugar industry in Iowa.
