Mrs. Edna Noble White, In a very in

In cooking tough meat. as a temperature
below the boiling point can be maintain

The methods of cooking meat, by the
application of moist heat are stewing,
braising, and steaming- The meat should
first be well-browned, and in stewing, II
is cut into smaller pieces and served
with the brooth, or gravy, so that none

be lost.
In braising, the meat is placed in COW

that 1t is cooked in kettle on top Of the
stove; a small amount of water Is added
In both cases, and the meat should be

The tempefature, after the brownins
is finished, must be low; and unless tbs

Few farmers understand the AeSuine
and medicinal value of either blood meal
or linseed meal. Perhaps no other 1000
contains the necessary food element III
such concentrated form
In order to be successful in their use
one must thoroughly understand their
composition, for the one is exactly OPP
nosite. both in medicinal and food vaiue,
from the other.
Blood meal is a highly concentrated
form of protein, that most valuable OF
food elements-the part from which an
imals receive their muscles. 1t is the
main element tnat growing stock should
have in order to build up strong con-
stitution. =.
where much corn is fed much blood
meal should be added in oro~. to BAT
ance nm the ration, for corn is very rich
in fat.
Such young stock as pigs, calves and
colts very often get the scours from
overlooking, but a few doses or blood
meal will correct the bowels at once
and carry the animal safely through
this dangerous disease
In the case of very young stock that
follow their mothers it should be given
to the dam and the young will get the
benefit of it through the milk. In ali
other cases give it directly to the young
stock IN Sucn QudnIlleS ds may DC hScu-
ed to suit the size Of the animal and the
severity of the case.
Linseed meal is exactly opposite in
all it's properties. 1t has q tendency to
loosen the bowels, therefore, it is very
valuable in cases of constipation. Lin
seed meal is very rich in fat--the food
element that gives heat and energy to
the stock. $50.
Where any food deficient in fat is fed
to the stock a quantity Of hnseed meal
should be added to balance up the ra-
ton.
Aland-fed calves are usually fed on
SKINNED milk. Now the fat of the milk
has been taken out by the separator and
therefore the protein remains In excess
of all other elements.
A small quantity OF linseed meal fed
in the milk will balance up the ration
and make it practically as good as the
whole milk.
In cases of constipation in very young
stock that follow their mothers II
should be given to the dam as the young
will get the benefit of 1t through the
milk.
Where these two articles are kept on
hand the farmer need have no fear or
either constipation or scours in his
stock, for these two articles act exactly
as described and no evil results need be
feared from their constant use.

A Ne12 Georgia Bug
Elberton star.


Mr. ]. e. Campbell, the bugologist of
Ebert, is entitled to go foot. He has
found a new one, something he never
saw, and something no one else he has
ever seen ever saw. The worm IL
about an inch long, is dressed in the
brightest and glosiest green, with a
shiny brown spot on his back He has
four legs, but doesn't use them, so it
doesn't make any difference If they
grow on his back. He also has two
horns to make him look like the au-
thenticated picture OF his satanic ma
jesty. He also has as many legs as a
acknowledged worm. And to make
the worm more hideous, 1t has whiskers
all over every leg, horn and protuber-
ance, and it's sting is very painful. Mr..
Campbell caught the worm on some
green corn Wednesday and showed him
around to scores OF people.
