URGING GREAT SALE
OF CANNED FOODS

Dealers, grocers, jobbers and manufac-
turers all over the country are Joining
hands during the week of March 3lst to
April 9TH in an effort to acqualnt house
wives with the economy and quality OF
canned foods.
1t is now a we'll known fact that heat
is the only preservative used in preparing
these economical foods. The cans are
sealed and sterilized at a temperature OF
$50 degrees, which prevents any contami-
nation and keeps the contents fresh and
wholesome as the day the tins were filled
in the %canneries.
National Canned Foods Week, during
which dealers and grocers will make
canned foods their sales-features, is for
the purpose of demonstrating to house
wives that the cost of living can be cut
with such foods, and that they may be
served in hundreds of delightful ways,
and thus served daily without monotony.
The farmers wife especially finds 1t ad-
vantageous to relieve herself of all the
cooking possible and Canned Foods en-
able her to do this and at the same time
improve the quality of her meals.
Women in every community should OBJ
serve National Canned Foods Week by
going to the dealers and putting in a sup
ply. The saving and general satisfaction
in the use Of Canned Foods is entirely
worth while.-Adv.

WOMEN MAN FLEET
They Do More Than Men in the
Welsh Village Of LIangWm.
Builders Of Houses, Too-mrs. Mary
Palmer, 81 Years Old, Tells of a
Days Work Carrying 100 Pounds
of Oysters to Market.

London.-A special correspondent
of the Daily Mirror sends from Hav-
erford an interesting account OF con-
ditions in the village of Llangwm,
Pembrokeshire, where women man"
the fishing fleet, and at times even
build the houses. They actually work
harder than the men.
Never In all my experience have l
known such industry or such uncom-
planning effort" the Rev. D. M. Pryse,
the Baptist minister, said. MI. Pryse
and the rector are the only two
Welshmen living in this village, for
all the rest of the $50 persons, all re-
lated to each other, are descended
from the Flemings, who settled near
there in 1895.
Mrs. Mary Palmer, aged 50, is a re-
markable old woman She walks with
a stick now, and age is making the
burrows deep in her forehead, but IN
til a few years ago she tramped for
miles selling fish, which she carried
in a pannier On her shoulders.
Yes, l have fished in Milford Ia
ven," she said, ever since l was a
little thing. We women here manage
the boats as we'll as the men, and, al
though we go out in all weathers, l
have never known a life lost or boat
wrecked.
Il have dredged for oysters with the
other women, and then tramped to
Carmathen with a hundredweight on
my back in a day; sold the oysters
that night, sometimes for as little as
eight cents a hundred, before going to
bed, and then tramped all the way
home the next day. I brought up a
family, too, and have been a widow
for 25 years.
Mr.. Lloyd-George gives me a pen
sion now of five shillings a week, but
l think an old woman who's worked as
hard as l have ought to have more,
don't you?"
Mrs. Palmer also pointed proudly to
her cottage, which she helped to build
herself, working like a Niger" as
she said, in the interval of catching
behring's and taking oysters. She dug
the foundations, made the mortar, car
ried stones by the hundredweight from

all sorts of odd places, just where
they could be found. When the cot
tage was complete, she white-wash-
ed the walls and ceilings, Scores of
women in the village have done the
same thing-a mason and a joiner be-
ing merely called in to do the expert
work.
Nearly all the villagers w their
cottages, a donkey and cart, and a fish
ing boat. Living chiefly on bread, with
a liberal spreading of butter, they
have saved and scraped until they
could buy the freehold. Their thrift
has grown, too, since the women agi-
tated SO much against the liquor traf-
fc that the last public house in the
village was closed.
Most of the men work in Pembroke
dockyard, leaving their homes at 4:30
or 5 in the morning for a long journey
on foot and In big rowing boats. These
men are not home until 7 in the even
ing, and all the time the women Of
the village do the work that in every
other place is done by men.
Some years ago when the fishing
feet went down the haven the wom-
en- who manned 1t all wore picturesque
red skirts and fiat felt hats.
Rut now the influence Of modernity
is ielt even in Llangwm, and only the
older women wear.the garments which
once made even the palmer ones look
charming. The young mes are not
at all proud of the fashions of their
grandmothers.
why can't we wear modern clothes
like other people?" said q young wom-
an. Folks only laugh at old fash
ions nowadays"
But Mrs. Palmer, who, a beauty in
her day, has had her photograph pub
lished all over the world, still wears
her red skirt and felt hat when, with
a jaunty step, she goes on her rounds
selling fish. just as she has done all
her life.

the value of an acre, it is seen that
the e~at-growers have been raising only
about enough to pay for producing the
crop. It is no wonder, with such a
condition Of affairs, that many farm
ers are dropping out the crop, OF r
giving it SO little attention as to make
its growth extremely Improbable.
The factors which determine the
profitable growing of oats in Missouri
are:
/. Use of the best adapted varie-
ties.
2. Thorough tanning of seed to pre-
vent running out.
8. Good preparation of ground.
A. Drilling instead Of broadcasting.
5. Early seeding.
6. Prevention of smut by the for
malin treatment. Il
The RED Rust Proof" is perhaps
the best variety to grow in Missouri.
It's ~rust-resisting power was strikingly
brought out in 1908 at the Missouri
experiment station. When the yields
of other varieties were not worth TAX
ing, the Red Rust Proof averaged 81
bushels to the acre. AS far as yield is
concerned, it is a most dependable
variety, and runs out least of any that
can be grown in Missouri.
Tanning can be done at little ex-
pense, and can be done in the winter
or early spring, when the work is not
~crowding. When the light seed are
blown out definite increases in yield
may be expected and much will be
done to prevent the oats from running
out.
In most cases it is not found profit
able to pillow the land for this crop.

diskings and two borrowings with the
smoothing harrow usually put the land
in good condition.
In experiments at different expert
ment stations drilling and broadcast
ing were tried on plots side by side.
In all of these trials the drilled oats
yielded most. The difference ranged
from four to six bushels an acre. The
drill has the advantage of insuring
that all of the seed will be covered
and that they will be placed at the de-
sired depth, If the top soil is dry the
seed can be planted deep enough that
they will have moisture, thus insuring
uniform termination. More seed are
required when oats are broadcasted,
because they are not all covered.
There is no definite rule to follow as
to how many pecks of seed per acre
will produce the largest yield. At the
Missouri experiment station, where s,
10 and IL pecks per acre were sown
on different plots, the plots sown at
the rate of 10 pecks per acre gave
slightly the highest yield.
Oats grow best during the cool part
of the season, and for this reason they
should be sown as early as the ground
can be gotten into shape. They do not
do well when the weather becomes
warm and the ground dry. They re-
quire more water for the amount of
grain produced than any other of u
cereal crops. They depend more upon
the season and less upon the soil than
either corr or wheat for their yield.
The latter part of March and the first
two weeks of April is considered good
time for seeding in North Missouri.
Early seeding and early maturing va
rieties are recommended.

the symptoms are noticed is to cut
down the feed and clean up the quar-
tiers of the animals, both SOW and
pigs. A table spoonful of sulphur in
the sow's feed once a day for two
days should be given and then skip
a day and repeat this dose until re-
suits are obtained. If the SOW is given
some good physic (1h ounces of ep-
SON salts as a drench), 1t will help
and probably stop securing in pigs.
Charcoal, freshly burned, should be
kept before both SOW and pigs all the
time. This is made easily by digging
a small pit in the ground and setting
fire to some corn.cobs, covering with
dirt and let char. Dried blood is also
good, giving a big spoonful. These
remedies are all for scours caused by
indigestion.
There is also a contagious form Of
scours known as white scours This
calls for a good physic, a general clean
UP of the quarters, and a good dis
infectant.
