LARGE DEMAND
FOR POTATOES
Market Requirements StanuTat'
ing Development of Growing
Industry Near City
of Chicago.

Increasing demand for potatoes In
the Chicago market is stimulating
the development of the growing in
dustry In nearby states. The demand
all over the country for the tuber,
both for local and general domestic
use and the export trade, has in
creased, and production Is showing
notable gains.
The land in potatoes increased from
2 sol 900 acres in 1889 to 2,939,O00
acres in 1899 and 100000 acres in
1909. The acreage in 1909 was thus
about Al per cent. greater than in
1899. The production Of potatoes in
1879 was 100, 459, 900 bushels, as COM
pared with 3S9, $4,000 bushels in
1909. The increase in the thirty years
was thus nearly 100 per cent. Pop
ulation during the same period in
creased about so per cent. This is
the only important food crop which
has increased faster than population.
Increases in acreage of potatoes are
noted in all the geographic divisions.
The largest actual increases are

visions, the eastern section showing
an increase of 14S,S39 acres, or 1916
per cent. and the western section an
increase of 1869 acres, or % per
cent. A large increase in acreage Is
to be noted in Minnesota.
The average production per acre.
perhaps in part by reason Of tenn
porary weather conditions, increased
from SO bushels to 1901 bushels
Along with the increase in acreage
and production went an even larger
relative increase in the value of the
potato crop, which increased from
$9S,2SO,O00 to $166,424,0 900, an in
crease of over $6S000,000, or 69.2
per cent. The average value of po-
tatoes per bushel thus increased from
Sc cents to AZ cents, or about 10 per
cent.

Raw material.
Wheat grain.

A nutritive ratio is the ratio be-
tween the energy given off by the
protein and the energy given off by
the carbohydrates. To find this nu-
tritive ratio, the carbohydrates plus
2A times the fat is divided by the
protein. Thus, the nutritive ratio may
be 1 to 4, meaning that something
contains four times as much of the
fat or heat and energy-forming ele-
ments, as 1t does protein or meat
forming elements. Thus 1t may be
seen that chicken feeds differ in the
amounts of the different elements.
Taking corn for example. the fat
forming elements are nearly ten times
as great as the heterogeneous or protein
elements. This gives the nutritive

1t is not very long since the use OF
dynamite for farming purposes has be-
come general. And indeed it is very
good help to the farmer and colonist
who is starting to get his land cleared
of all the stumps and stone boulders
on it.
In undertaking to clear piece OF
ground of tree stumps it is obvious,
if the land is to be speedily utilized,
that the work must be done as quickly
and as economically as possible. 1t
will, for example, take two men with
a team of horses from half to two
days to remove a single tree stump,
according to its size and depth to
which it has grown. Even with ex-
and expensive, and in the case OF a
forest-grown country, the very cheap
est land may become unpleasantly
costly. The greatest saving effect by
dynamite is in time and labor. 1t is a
saving so large that the cost OF the
raw material and the simple imple-
ments required bear hardly any pro-
portion to the cost of the work by old
fashioned methods. AS matter of
fact, the tools and implements need
ed are the simplest: long auger, a
firing battery, starters, and coil OF
fine copper wire. Nothing more, save
the dynamite itself, is needed for the
work. Yet there is one other thing
required, that is care. In handling
dynamite with great care it is harm
less, but one must avoid subjecting it
to shocks, and kept at an even tenn
perature and away from wetness, be-
cause wet dynamite is liable to ignite
by itself.
In order to drain some part of land
Gus and underlies low ground, the
marshy surface can be recovered by
ditching. In this process dynamite is
of great use and it's advantage is
obvious. The bitches and drains are
eXcavated by exploding charges OF
about one-half pound OF 80 to 90 per
cent quick acting dynamite in holes
put down in line and spaced APP
proximately two feet apart. Only the
middle charge In the row Is primed
and the explosion OF this charge
causes the entire row to explode. In
this way a ditch three feet deep and
five wide and of any desired length
can be excavated instantly without
shoveling.
Swamps are drained by drilling sew
eral holes in the deepest part and ex-
ploding in the bottom of these holes
from three to fifteen pounds 80 per
cent. dynamite. Properly done, the
swamps will never form again.
In order to break the subsoil In or
chards, holes are put down four or
five feet deep, midway between the
trees.
When young trees are planted the
hole is dug with a quarter pound or
one-half pound Of dynamite. This
loosens the surrounding soil so that

Dynamite is also used on the farm
to excavate trenches for thing or for
pipe lines, to dig cellars and founda-
ton trenches to grade and ditch
roads, to sink wells, to clear ice from
watering places for stock and to
break ice gorges in streams, to dig
holes for poles or for fence posts and
to split logs for fence rails, cord wood

Astonished Husband.

De Wolfe Hopper tells good story
about the domestic unhappiness OF an
other actor. The hero Of the joke was
a man who had married because the
woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally, after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition or the
brides financial resources. the hus-
band was never very attentive to her.
Another member of the company In
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciative OF the
lady's charms, and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petritied with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with a gesture OF
intense surprise, and exclaimed:
"Merciful heavens! And he didn't

DUEL BETWEEN PAN AND EAe.
BY Martha Mcculloch Williams.

uCSuIOCn WtItIdm9.
Experience has been M only school
which, perhaps, accounts for the
fact that l hold no opinions half
heartedly. Especially about cooking.
1T seems to me the finest of fine arts,
all too much misprised, and held a
drudgery instead OF a privilege. Pos
sibly this makes me reactionary-a
holder-fast TO old methods. Certainly
when Soyer's paper bag cookery was
suggested to me, there was not a
stouter skeptic In all these United
States Soyer's experience did moth
1ng to change my mind. Rather, it
convinced me that paper bag cooking
was one Of the things that cost more
than they come to. For | set myself
this sum. Bags, plus greasing, plus
clips, equal the cost OF many sauce
pans Furthermore, 1t is against
sense and reason that the mere put
ting Of food in bag should either
hasten the cooking or better the fla
vor Of it Thus / argued the case
fforthrightly, but ended by conces-
lsion-I would try out paper bags and
see what should see.
The first bag left me warmly tri-
umphant
Wisdom ferments like yeast AS
acquired 1t, there was no keeping it
to myself. 1t dripped down upon my
next story neighbor cook both born
and made. She was interested but
skeptical-less SO than l had been,
Notwithstanding of an open mind. So
when l proposed an experiments
result was to be decided by the scales,
she was ready, even eager to engage
in It.
Each of US bought rib roast-hers
weighing four pounds, mine but three.
To the eye. they were identical save
in the matter of size. And our gas
ranges are oven-brothers, made by ex-
actly the same pattern. Her roast
went into pan, mine into bag. Not
having to haste nor watch mine, after
the fame was turned down properly,
/ had liberty to run In on her and see
how she Jared. She was doing her
best-a best that is superlative,
watching and basting her beef with
the skill of a chef The result was
something beautiful to behold when
she took it out after little more than
an hour. Mine was still in the oven,
Its bag intact, though / had turned
out the gas after forty-five minutes
It had not been on full fer forty min
utes, whereas my neighbor had kept
hers lowered only the least bit. The
exact saving of gas l do not under
take to compute-but that there was
q saving is beyond question.
The scales showed her roast to
have lost in weight a fraction over
nine ounces. Mine, lighter by a
pound, had lost a fraction under two
ounces. Furthermore, all tho strength
OF my meat was in the gravy. A fifth
at least of hers remained sticking to
the pan, though che treated it in the
usual way. We reckoned that a pa
per bag would have saved her a half
pound weight Of beef, equivalent to
twelve cents, the cost of many paper
bags. Indeed, felt that the gas saw
ing alone would have more than paid
for the bag, the clips, the greasing

This can be accomplished through
