Old lime smaIlpox Cure.

To cure smallpox was apparently a
very simple matter in the good old
times. John of Gaddesden, court doc
tor TO Edward H.. has recorded that
he got rid of the disease by the simple
expedient of wrapping his patients in
red cloth.
LET scarlet red be taken" he says.
'and let him who is suffering small
pox be entirely wrapped in It or in
some other red cloth. | did this when
the son of the lllustrious king of Eng
land suffered from smallpox. took
care that all about his bed should be
red, and that cure succeeded very
well."-London Chronicle.

In the winter season of l909-1o the
Extension Department conducted 5
agricultural special trains, and in

life conferences of two-day sessions
have been held during 1911, besides
large number of boys corn con-
tests, domestic science meetings,
grange meetings, personal visits to
farms, and lectures at farmers and

VEGETABLES
Must Be Properly Cooked
to Insure Digestibaity
and PaIatabiIity.
BY ELIZABETH JEFFERSON,
Extension Department,
Ohio State University.

FFFTFFFT'FTTTTF
Plunge the vegetable into rapidly
boiling water, and boil all the time IL
cooks. Vegetables lose considerable
starch, tissue building material and
mineral matter, If soaked or started
to cook in cold water. The cover
should be ajar as the vegetable
cooks; in the case of onions cabbage
and strong smelling vegetables. the
cover should be entirely removed
During the cooking of vegetables
gases are developed which, If retain
ed in the food, give a strong flavor
and odor, which are unwholesome.
In cooking onions and cabbage, the
gas formed is hydrogen sulphide gas,
the gas contained in rotten eggs. The
odor of cooking is not so noticeable
II the gas escapes gradually. The
vegetable keeps its color better If
cooked uncovered.
The vegetable should cook until
tender, but cooking should stop while
the vegetable is still firm. An over
cooked. water-soaked vegetable is un.
palatable and as hard to digest as
one undercooked.
An excellent method to use in cook
ing the strong favored vegetable is
parboiling. Drop the vegetable into
a large quantity of boiling water and
boil to 20 minutes Drain and finish
cooking in smaller quantity of water.
Beans and Peas.
Dried beans and peas are very rich
in starch and in proteid, or the tissue
building material, which is also fami-
liar in the lean part OF meat Be
cause beans are so cheap and yet
contain so much of the tissue build
ing material, they are sometimes
known as "the poor mans beef"
Beans contain little fat and are suit.
ably cooked with pork or butter.
Beans and peas are much harder to
digest than meat, because they con-
tain so much OF the woody fibre;
they are thus better fitted as foods
for hard workers.
The Roots and Tubers.
Potatoes, turnips, carrots. parsnips,
beets, etc, that is, the roots and tu-
bers, contain little nutritive matter
besides starch or sugar The potato
is the most valuable of this group OF
vegetables. II contains a large per-
centage of water and fair amount
of starch. On could not sustain life
long on the potato taken alone as
food, because 1t contains little tissue
building material or fat. Because the
sweet potato is so much like the COM
mon potato in composition, it is un-
necessary to serve both at the same
meal. The turnip. carrot, parsnip.
beet, etc, are inferior to the potato
in furnishing nourishment.
The Green Vegetables.
The green vegetables, cabbage, let
tuce, celery, spinach, tomatoes, Gu
cumbers, etc, are valuable for their
refreshing qualities, woody fibre and
Cor the mineral salts which they
yield. The green vegetables contain
a large amount of water, so their
food value is low. Because they are
not nourishing, they are suitably
served with such concentrated foods
as eggs and meat

SKIN OF A BADGER.
30 Loose the Animal Can Almost Turn
Sonersaults In IL.

The pelt of an adult badger Is ex.
tremely thick and difficult for biting

the skin cover the body that the AMI
NAL is able to turn almost around in

Should dog acquire a hold on the
throat the badger turns himself so that
the dogs grip is on the back Of the
badgers neck without having loosened
his first hold Then the badger Sc
cures a visellke grip upon some vul-
nerable portion of his enemy. and
while his long tusks penetrate to the
limit he digs and scratches with his
front feet that are furnished with
claws almost as formidable and deadly
as might be expected from an anteater
of the dark continent.
He who has removed the pelt OF
badger and Is at all observing does not
wonder at this animal being sharp bit

bulldog tenacity when the formation
and adjustment of its jaws are noted
Neither is II so much of a mystery how
he manages to bore through the soil

shovels cannot overtake him. for he is

Every time a fleet Of naval vessels

from various causes and among the
deserters is always large percentage
of recruits that come from inland

to seasickness. to which they are al.
most invariably subject. produces an
Irresistible desire to desert. In 9th
er instances desertions come about
through the men becoming intoxicated
and practically irresponsible while on
shore leave. In the meantime their
vessel may sail. These men are not at
first termed deserters. but are set
down as stragglers. If, however, after
n period of ten days nothing is heard
from them by the ships officers they
are then considered deserters.
At the end of the ten day limit their
allotment is stopped, the bureau Of
navigation is notified. and, In con
formity to an act of congress. their
effects are sold before the mast. The
amount realized is placed to their ac-
count and the latter transferred to the
deserters' roll. At the end of six
months, If they still have not been
heard from. their wages are declared
forfeited to the United States. The
penalty for desertion is fine and i'm

FEARED A TRAP.
A Bit Of Japanese Strategy That De-
eeived the Enemy.

n Bit OF Japanese strategy That De-
eeived the Enemy.
Many n man has failed to guess an
easy riddle because the simple solution
looked like trap to him. Here is an
instance in which this trait of human
nature was cleverly played upon by a
japanese nobleman.
The old lord had been forced to fee
with only 800 men before an enemy
with 10000 and barely had time to
reach his castle ahead OF his foes.
There were no re-enforcements near at
hand, and he knew that II an attempt
was made to storm his defenses he
and his men would be dead before help
could come.
The enemy's forces advanced rapid
ly, and scouts rode up near the castle
70 reconnoiter. To their amazement.
they found the gates. doors and win
dows open and all the appearance of
a holiday celebration. They rode hasti-
ly back TO inform their master that the
foe was dancing and that bands were
playing music in the castle.
The powerful enemy was too wise a
man to put his head into any such trap
as that The defenders OF the castle
must have some plan to slaughter his
forces by wholesale or they would
never invite him in that way. He
drew back to a safe distance and en-
camped to await developments.
Soon the re-enforcements for the cas-
tie came up behind, attacked him sud
denly and defeated him. while the gar
rison, which had rlsked all on its
stratagem, charged him on the other
side.

No one factor is probably more in
fluential in controlling the measure
of success in the vegetable garden
than that of the quality of seed used.
Failure may commonly be spelled
with these letters poor seed. The
best seed obtainable is none too good
to use and no one should make the
mistake of buying cheap seed for the
garden. It's too much like killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.
Hign priced seed. however, do not
necessarily indicate good seed The
price of seed is determined largely
by the species, cultural difficulties,
the cost of harvesting, seasonal
abundance and variety. Some kinds
Of plants produce but few seed and
large acreages must be grown to OBJ
tain a comparatively small amount.
Land and labor must be compensated
by comparatively higher prices.
Again certain plants produce an
abundance of seed, but the cultural
conditions are so exacting, or the
processes of saving the seed so intri-
cate as to involve a large amount of
labor with a resultant high cost. The
high cost which the gardener needs
to look out for, particularly, is that
associated with new varieties.
When the garden is of sufficient ex-
tent to warrant it, a small portion
nj hn agfdn nanh
ing new varieties that appeal to the
individual grower, but to the home
gardener such a plan is not of value.
The standard sorts possess sufficient
merit to warrant growth until the
new varieties have proven their
worth.
What Constitutes Good Seed.
Wit llity and Viableness. These are
primary qualities which pertain to the
ability of the seed to develop into a
new nlant. A vital seed is one which
is capable of starting termination,
while viable seed is one which has
such vigor as to complete that pro-
cess and establish the new plant in
thS 10
upon the age of the seed. the relative
amount of stored food within them,
and conditions under which they are
stored. AS a usual thing the large
seed have a higher degree of vitality
than small seed. AS to age, most
seeds depreciate in value after one
year and with few exceptions it is
not advisable to plant seed that is
more than two years old. Parsnips
and onions in particular, are not like
ly to give good results after the first
season. 1t is always well to test all
seed tor vitality previous t. planting.
Purity.-All good seed must be free
from foreign substances such as other
seeds, dirt and adulteraticns Of any
bind. Large seed are likely to be bet
ter In this respect than smaller ones.
True to Name.-No seed, no mat
ter how clean or how viable, may be
termed good unless they produce
plants that are true to name and to
type. Unfortunately, this quality can
not be determined previous to trial.
For this character we must depend
upon the reliability of our seed men.
