QUESTIONS ANSWERED ~ MEM.
eERs OF THE NORTH DAKOTA
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

Q.-What should be done with
cut?
Ans.-Alice G. Haggart, professor Of
home nursing.
1t IS not harmful to allow the wound
to bleed as in that way any infection
that may have been introduced by the
article that did the cutting. may be
carried out. Wash wound thoroughly
with warm antiseptic solution $4,000
bichloride or solution OF sulpho-nap-
thoD. Apply clean gauze and bandage.
II wound is deep, use silk worm gut
satures to close and stop the hemor-
rhage and then apply dressing.
Bichloride tablets can be purchased
at drug stores; direction on package
.Sulpho napthol or creolin-sa same.
If cuts and ordinary wounds are
clean and kept clean. they will heal
quickly. and there viii be only slight
Inflammation; no fostering" or other
serious results Dangerous conditions
in connection with wounds are often
the result Of carelessness. Be sure
hands are clean when dressing wounds
and cuts. II no antiseptic solution is
at hand, use water which has been
boiled. Wash out all particles OF for
eign matter; apply dressing.
Q.-How does oat meal compare
with meat in food value?
Ans.-Roe 2. Remington. profess
sor of food chemistry
Food value may be considered from
several different points of view
~ II we consider the total energy
produced by the food, we find that q
pound OF oat meal viii produce three
and onehalf times as much energy
as a pound Of lean steak, or nearly
twice as much AZ pound Of moder-
ately fat steak. II we consider oat
meal as costing six cents pound and
! beefsteak as costing twenty cents a
pound. then a dollar will buy more
than eleven times as much energy
giving material in the form Of oat
meal 40 in the form of beefsteak
, t2) II we consider the muscle
building material, or protein, we And
that oat meal contains 1871 per cent
! and lean beefsteak 23.3 per cent. IN
other words lean beef contains about
one and half times as much muscle
building material as oatmeal Moder
ately fat beef will contain from / 6 Il
18 per cent, or about the same as ont
meal. Dollar for dollar, your money
will buy about three times as muct
muscle-building material In the form
Of oatmeal as II will In the form q
4 beefsteak II must be said. however
that the protein Of oatmeal is no
quite 50 easily nor 90 completely al

Ans.-E. s. Keene, dean department
Of engineering and physics.
This is very difficult question to
answer In SO limited space, because Of
the variety of conditions that surround
the problem. It will depend In the
first place on the amount one Is able
to pay for the plant and the degree o;
convenience and comfort demanded.
Again 1t will depend on the size Of
the plant and the purpose for which
the house Is intended. In the average
house where the question is between
stoves and furnace heat for the entire
house; beyond a donbt the best way 10
by Z furnace. II only q few rooms
are to be heated, stoves are the more
desirable. II the house is to be heated
by a furnace and the question is. what
type OF plant is to be employed, the
problem is largely one OF cost. In ef-
ficiency Of the furnace there Is no diff
ference between hot air and hot wa
ter plants. 1t Is not possible to dis
cuss the relative merits Of the two
systems Of heating but simply to
state, as items In favor of hot air
heating that with well designed fur.
mace 1t produces the best ventilation;
a better degree Of humidity and con
sequently more desirable atmos-
phere as well as less cost The hot
water plant produces more uniform
and therefore more agreeable tenn
perature. but at a higher cost for the
plant.

place should be prepared for them
now, so that when cold weather sets
in for good the hives can be quickly
placed in position.
Once more: Never set the hives
fiat on the floor of the cellar-as some
people do. Bees must have fresh air,
and be kept free from dampness.
Every stormy day in which the hens
are allowed to wander about without
shelter adds to the discrepancy in the
egg basket.
OF course we can wait until stormy
weather sets in before making the
chickenhouse snug and comfortable,
but it will cost us something, in the
loss of eggs, to do it,
After ii has been made all comfort

II takes some courage to weed out
the poultry flock down to the very
essence of good quality, but this is the
month to do It. Why feed any old
scrubs during the long winter months?
Stun them two weeks. and send them
to market.
Many people oc not know that the
tops of turnips, sugar beets and car
rots can be cut OF without imparing
their keeping qualities This should
be done before they are put into win
ter quarters
Maybe it is too late to gather road
dust for the fowls, If you have neg
lected to do this. you can give them
sifted coal-ashes, which is the next
best thing.

ACCURATE POULTRY ACCOUNT
OF Much Importance That Record
Should Be Kept to Ascertain Just
What Flock Is Doing.
CIV A. ]. MlI.nERl

An accurate account should be
kept to find out whether the poultry is
paying a profit. and Just how much.
In doing this. don't forget TO give
them credit for the frying chickens,
broilers. rOasters and all the eggs used
in the home Quite often this is over
looked and the poultry receives no
credit for saving US what would be a
good deal Of expense IL we had to buy
our fresh eggs and all the poultry We
used.
This is not so hard to keep track of
as one would imagine / find that the
easiest way to keep the egg account
is to set down every day the number
of eggs gathered that day AS a rec
ord is kept Of all the eggs sold. the
difference would be the number used
at home The hens should be given
credit for the number gathered
II Is important that we should keep
an account with the poultry and know
Just what they are doing When all
kinds OF feed are 50 high priced and
can be sold, or fed to advantage to
other stock, we can not afford to keep
a large stock of poultry at loss
II poultry is not making you a profit,
remedy the difficulty aud get a profit.
or else keep only enough poultry to
supply the family.

BUILD SUITABLE HOG HOUSES
Building May Be Cheap and Simple In
Construction, but Should Be Con-
Venent-Easly Arranged.

When hogs are handled in larg,
numbers, or where twenty or more
brood sows are kept, a hog house
large enough to accommodate the ma
jority Of the stock is often found
This system has the advantage of en-
abling the breeder to handle his hogs
with less expenditure of labor and
time than is possible If they are scat
