FEEDING THE sow

An Animal Husbandry division
of the State College is receiving
many questions about feeding brood
sows. No fast rule is satisfactory.
No single feed or combination of
feeds is best. Professor Ashby Of
fers the following suggestions:
1. Have the SOW in strong and
vigorous condition at narrowing time,
due to sufficient food and plenty Of
exercise.
2. Avoid constipation and fever
ish condition of the SOW at farrow-
ing. During the CESSATION period
she should have some succulent feed
or enough bran or oilcake should BE-
furnished to keep the bowels in good
condition.
3. Feed lightly just before and
after narrowing.
4. Increase the feed gradually,
but feed literally while the SOW is
sucking her pigs. The grain gives
its greatest return then.
5. Avoid all sudden changes in
feed or feeding.
6. Have plenty of clean water
available all the time.
RATIoNs
The following feed combinations
have proven satisfactory. They
should be modified as cost or con-
ditions indicate.
No. 1-rolled or ground wheat,
l part; shorts or middlings, 2 parts;
bran, l part. No. aground or
rolled oats, l part; shorts or mid
dlings, one part. No. 3-rolled oats,
rolled wheat and shorts, part each
No. IA, shorts, 1 part; bran, l
part; b, rolled oats, 2 parts; alfalfa
meal, l part.
Barley, rolled or ground, may be
substituted for or mixed with the
wheat. Tankage may be used safe
ly if the SOW has been accustomed
to it before narrowing.
Do not hesitate to write to the
college at Pullman for any informa-
ton you need.

CHOICE BUTTER
MADE ON THE FARM

e. E. lockwood in Hoard's Dairy
man says of farm buttermaking: l
was talking recently with a farmers
wife who makes butter for a private
line Of customers, delivering it every
two weeks.
The process of making choice butter
is thoroughly understood by this wom-
an. The quality is ever the same. The
color never varies, nor does the sailing.
Everything about it from start to fin
ish is done by rule. She has a separator
run by a gasoline engine. The men
separate the milk as they bring it from
the barn. The cream Is cooled at once
and not mixed with that previously
separated while it is warm. Churning
is done every other day, or three times
each week. A barrel churn, with no
inside paddles whatever, is used. The
cream is ripened by setting it in a
warm place, adding a little buttermilk
left from the last churning and stir
ring well. 1t is considered sufficiently
ripened when it pits" or when spoon
dipped into it is well coated on remov-
al Such cream pours out like thick
molasses. 1t is strained through q
sieve into the churn.
The amount Of butter color is gagged
according to the amount of cream. A
rich tint is secured to the finished
product, yet not so high color as to

HOW COCA COLA REFREsHEs

The remarkable success which has
attended the sale OF Coca-Cola has been
explained in many different ways. Some
have attributed II to good advertise
ing others to efficient management"
others, to its delicious favor" and still
others to the fact that II was the first In
the field of "trade-marked" soft drinks.
In this connection. the opinion Of q
manufacturing chemist who has analyz-
ed Coca Cola and studied It's history for
many years, will prove interesting. He
attributes the popularity OF the drink
ing both mind and body without pro-
ducing any subsequent depression.
He points out the fact that the chemical
composition of Coca-Cola Is practically
identical with that OF coffee and tea
with sugar added the only material
difference being the absence of tannic
acid from Coca-Cola. He points to the
laboratory experiments OF DIR. Holling-
worth OF Columbia University and OF
Dr. H. G. Wood. Jr. OF Philadelphia
which prove conclusively that the caf-
feine-containing beverages tcoffee, tea,
Coca-Cola. etc. relieve mental and mus
cular fatigue by rendering the nerves
and muscles more responsive to the
will, thus diminishing the resistance
produced by fatigue. These expert
ments also demonstrate the fact that
the caffeine group OF beverages differ
from the stimulants In that the use Of
the latter is followed by a period OF de-
preston which calls for more stimula-
ton, thus resulting In the formation of

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached to
the condition OF the grain crops in
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
In that country This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat. oats,
barley and fax were got In in good
shape, although from week to ten
days later than last year. On the
9th of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were: abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance OF generous harvest. Climatic
conditions In recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indi-
cation of bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short In straw"
This is followed by a report July
5th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plentecns rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks. while crop
Is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada in 1913

RED, BLACK AND WHITE CUR
RANTS.

Currants are a favorite fruit with
most people The red currant is the
most used for jeIlies, although many
like the combination Of red and white,
making a light-colored Jelly. The
combination of red currant and red
raspberry is especially delicious.
The black currant Is not SO COM
mon now, but makes peculiarly de-
licious jam for those who are suffi-
GENTLY old-fashioned not to forget
"grandmother's garden" where the
black currant bushes were always
found.
To be in the best condition for
jelly making. the currants should not
be too ripe nor picked after heavy
rain. Pick over the currants. but
do not remove the stems. Wash and
drain. and mash In the bottom of a
preserving kettle with wooden po-
tato masher; add few more and
mash until there is enough for the
receptacle. Cook until the currants
have white appearance, strain
through collander, then put the
Juice in q jelly bag to drip. Measure
the Juice, boil FIVE minutes. then add
an equal measure of heated granu-
lated sugar, or less IL sour jelly IL de-
sired. Boil two or three minutes, try
q little in cold saucer; If thin skin
forms at once. pour into glasses.
Jelly to be of good consistency should
be just firm enough to keep its shape
when turned from the glass. 1t should
be clear and of good flavor. Let stand
for day or two in a sunny window
to set, then cover and put away for
winter use In cool, dry place.
The delicious bar lie due currants
may be prepared at home If one cares
to take the time for It, Use the large
cherry currant and remove the seeds
with large needle. Cook the cur
rants very carefully and mix with cur
rant jelly. Put away In glasses. care
fully covered.
These may be prepared when max
ing jelly, and glass or two saved for
the bar lie due curraats. This con-
serve being very rich, is only used
in small quantities, or as a garnish for
cheese or salad.

DINNER NOTES.

A few suggestions for reasonable
dinner menus may be enjoyed at this
time. Fruit soups are quite popular
among the Scandinavian people, and
are becoming better known and APP
preciated among the American. A de-
licious cold soup on hot day is most
satisfying and refreshing.
Iced Fruit Soup.-Put quart of
berries or sour cherries and quart
of cold water over the fire in a gran
lite saucepan; heat slowly to the boil
Ing point, boil for three minutes, add
sufficient sugar to sweeten palatably,
stir until dissolved, and press through
a sieve, Reheat and when at the
boiling point add tablespoonful of
with little cold water. Stir until
well cooked, add tablespoonful of
lemon juice and set away to cool.
Serve cold in small glasses.
Fried Chicken, Virginia Styie.-Pre-
pare fat young chicken and joint it
as for fricassee. Wipe it and dredge
with salt, pepper and -four, then lay
out on platter. In deep frying pan
try out half pound of fat bacon. add
one scant cup of lard, and when
smoking hot lay in the pieces of
chicken, cooking only enough at q
time to allow plenty of room to turn
them. The thickest pieces will take
ten minutes to cook Place on a hot
platter and keep hot while the rest
is cooking.
Almond Deiight.-Make rich pas
try and al it with the following mix
ture: Blanch and chop fine one cup
full of almonds. Put cup of granu-
lated sugar into a frying pan, add a
teaspoonful of water and place over a
slow fire until melted. stirring briskly
until the sugar turns golden brown.
Turn this out on the crust quickly be-
fore it cools. Beat three eggs, add
two tablespoonfuis of sugar and pint
of milk Pour over the crust with
the almonds and bake In faot oven
at first Cover with meringue or
with whipped cream, and serve.
Figaro Figs.-Steam pulled figs I'M
til soft and plump, slit at the side and
insert half of marshmallow and
bits of nuts. Roll I'm sugar and serve
