URGES WOMEN TO CAN FRUIT
Lecturer for State Board Of Agrlcul'
ture Says too Much Is Wasted.

Miss Bah Bell, lecturer for the
Missouri State Board of Agriculture,
urges that the woman, in the country
particularly, can her fruits and vege-
tables rather than buy these goods
canned
Many women overlook the fact that
vegetables and fruits canned fresh
from the vines and trees have, as a
rule, better flavor than the common
commercially canned product. This is
not the only fact worthy of consid-
Grafton. Counting labor, fuel and all
other items which go to make the ex-
pense of an article, goods can be
canned in the home more cheaply
than they can be purchased canned.
There is an annual waste from
gardens and orchards amounting to
several millions of dollars. The
quantity purchased each year by the
average family is about one-fourth of
that wasted annually on the average
farm. If this waste could be saved,
the housewife could not only supply
the family with the necessary fruits
and vegetables in their very best
canned form, but would also net for
herself a neat income should she
market the oversupply.

TELL WHY CREAM Is YELLOW
Bulletins BY College Of Agriculture
Give Scientific Explanation.

"Carotin-The Principal Natural
Yellow Pigment of Milk Fat" is the
subject of a series of bulletins that
have recently been published by the
Agricultural Experiment Station Of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
versity. The bulletins appear in four
parts, all of which are scientific ex-
planation for the appearance of yell
low coloring in milk, cream, and
even in the fat portions of beef.
The bulletins are the result OF
about three years of experimenting by
Leroy S. Palmer and Prof c. H.
Eckles. Part one of this bulletin Sc
ries is a Review of the Literature
Concerning the Yellow Plant and
Animal Pigments" Part two ex-
plains the Chemical and Physiolog-
ical Relation of Pigments of Milk Fat
to the Carotin and Xanthophills of
Green Plants Part three deals
with THE Pigments of the Body Fat,
Corpus Lutem and Skin Secretions of
the Cow" Part four treats of three
subject, (a) The Yellow Pigment
of Blood Serum" (b) "Carotin and
Xanthophills During Digestion" (c)
The Pigments of Human Milk Fat"
DR.. Grindley, professor of animal
nutrition in the College of Agricul-
ture of the University of Illinois
said, when in Columbia the past sum-
mer, that he had told his classes that
these bulletins were some of the best
he had ever seen produced upon this
subject by any American experiment
station.

SPECIAL POLICEMAN FOR DOGS
Owners Who Do Not Pay Tax Will
Be Fined.

The dogs of Columbia are to have
the honor of having a special police
man look after them this year. He is
to be appointed by the city council
at its meeting Tuesday night of next
week.
Last year dogs on which no taxes
were paid were killed at the expense
of the city. This year the dogs are
to go free while the owner pays a
fine of 1915 in addition to the tax
for each dog he is keeping. If the
owner prefers he may pay only the
fine, and is given limited number
of days within which to dispose of
the dog. If the animal is not dis
posed of within the designated time,
the owner will again be fined. The
amount of the dog tax is $1.75 for
each animal
There were 541 dogs in Columbia,
wearing dog tax tags, while between
100 and $50 were disposed of by the
city. The dog pound has been done
away with, however, and it is up to
the owner to dispose of his dog, if
he avoids the tax. The new officer
will hold his Office until the first of
the year, and will begin his work Oc-
tober II, before which date the taxes
must be paid. 1t is estimated that
there are thousand dogs in the city.

AFTER THE WARE

Right now, To-Day, lne "ollu 10 i"
of the clash of armed conflict. In a
month, a year, few years at the
utmost-for the present killing is
costing S5O,OOO,OOO a day-there will
be peace. There must be peace. But
on what terms?
The war may end in any one of
three ways: through the mutual eX-
haustion of the nations, through the
triumph of Germany and Austria, OF
through the final victory of England,
France, Belgium, Russia, Jepan, Ser
via and Montenegro, the Allies.
Take the first alternative. Suppose
the united cry of the debt-ridden peo-
pies should bring the struggle to an
indecisive close. with the Germans
driven out of France and Belgium and
the Russians retreating from Austria
and Prussia. What then?
Militarism will go. The war will
have taught one thing: that mighty
ornaments are not pledge of peace
but an eternal threat of &ar. The
armies and the navies will be done
away with, in part or altogether.
Ravaged Belgium will be indemni-
fed by Germany, as was promised at
the outbreak of hostilities. A new
state will arise in the Balkans, taking
in probably Bosnia, Herzegovina and
Croatia. And if the Gar of Russia
remembers his promise and Germany
wants a guarantee of peace, POLAND
will be free.
The second alternative is the vic
tory of Germany and Austria. I'm
doubtedly the Kaiser will demand a
bigger indemnity from France than
did Bismarck in 1871. Belgium will
become a German province, giving the
victors an outlet on the North Sea
close enough to England to be a con-
slant peril. Frances colonies will
become Germanys. So will Eng
lands, to a considerable extent. The
British sea power will be curtailed..
Austria, free from danger of disrup-
tion, will rise supreme in the Balkans,
with control of the Adriatic and
Aegean seas. Russia will have to pay
in money, if not in land. The Teutons
will hereafter lay down the law to
the world, America excepted.
The third alternative is the COM
plete triumph of the Allies. Each of
the leagued nations is fighting for
a particular object. Belgium wants
peace and the permanent guarantee
of her integrity. England asks the
destruction of the German colonial
and competitive commercial efforts.
France prays for the restoration of
her lost provinces, Alsace and Lor-
raine, and an indemnity as great as
that Bismarck took from her in the
day of the Slavs in Servia and later,
supposedly, to free Poland. Japan is
Jealous of the German Asiatic pos
sessions and trade. Servia and Mon
tenegro wish to be free of the menace
of Austria.
In the settlement under the third
alternative, each of the victors, pro-
vided they can subdue their mutual
suspicious, will get the satisfaction
demanded, and more.
England, in all probability, will de-
mand German disarmament, in order
that she may cut down her own press
ing war burdens. So, in any issue
the war may take, there will be dis
armament somewhere. This is
great struggle. When it ends, condi
tions are going to be adjusted to stay.

TICKS SERIOUSLY AF-
 FECT MILK YIELDS
An Investigation By The Department of Agriculture Shows that Tick Infested Cattle Yield Very
 Little Milk.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 22.-Even with so-called immune cattle, ticks have caused a loss varying from Is to 3.4 quarts of milk a day, according to experiments conducted by the U. s. Department of Agriculture. Hither- to the exact amount of the damage which. the ticks do to these so-called immune cattle has been matter of con- lecture. The Departments eXperi- ments, however, have now made it certain that even a light infestation seriously reduces the revenue from the dairy herd.
 Investigators took two lots of 20 cows each and permitted one lot to become infested with ticks while the other lot was kept free by spraying and dipping; otherwise conditions were as identical as it was possible to make them. After period of ap- proximately five months it was found that those cows which were lightly infested produced 18.6 per cent less milk than the cows that were altoge- ther free, and that those heavily in- fested with ticks produced 42.4 per cent less milk, or nearly half gallon less day. In addition it was found that cows which were supposed to be immune suffered from tick fever and one actually died from the disease.
 Translated into money this means that if a dairyman with herd of 20 cows which produced 8 quarts of milk day allowed his cattle to be- come infested he would lose approxi- mately Is quarts of milk from each COW every day or total of 30 quarts for the entire herd. Assuming that the milk was worth 5c quart, this would be a daily loss of $1.50 for the dairyman. If the tick infestation were heavy, the reduction of the milk supply might easily become so great that it would amount to a daily re- duction of S3.40 in the revenue from the entire herd.
 These figures were corroborated by the experience of certain dairyman in the heart of the tick-infested sec ton. Late in the season he dipped his cattle and killed the ticks. One week afterwards the AZ cows in his herd gave 10 gallons of milk more day than they did before the dipping. This was an increase of I6.6 per cent. He got 35c. gallon for his milk,

COMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS
 FOR FINAL INSPECTION

Little Rock, Dec. 22.-Former State Senator John H. Keel of Newport has completed arrangements with firm of Little Rock engineers to make the final inspection of the White River Levee District llevee on December 24, and he expects it to be accepted. The levee is IT miles in length and will cost approximately $100,000. In some places the levee is 35 feet in height. Senator Keel is one of the commits sioners, and has quite a large planta- tion which is protected by the levee. He states that bill will be intro duced in the legislature next month providing district to continue the levee to Augusta, distance of IT miles. From Augusta down there is a levee, so this will close the gap be- tween Newport and the mouth of White river, on the East bank.

HEALTH CONDITIONS IN THE
 NAVY

Acording to the annual report of the Surgeon-General of the Navy, this branch of our national defense, from medical point of view is prepared to meet at least all peace-time demands. A summary of conditions during the year includes, among other important problems, the outbreak of smallpox on the Ohio, which was particularly noted by the lay press at the time. It will be remembered that there were twenty-nine cases of smallpox with five deaths. No cases occurred on the Vermont, although her men, examined and vaccinated just before sailing, were exposed in the same manner as those of the Ohio. An investigation showed, however, that no vaccination had been done on the Ohio for two years before the outbreak, and vacci- nation of the crew immediately after gave almost 90 per cent of takes, about what would be expected in an unpro- tected community. Among 100 re- cruits received on the Ohio shortly be- fore sailing for Europe and vaccinated at that time, not a single case occurr- ed. The report mentions also a slight increase in malaria, which is accounted for by the cases occurring on ships in Mexican waters. The Sur .geon-G General suggests that the white uniforms of the "bluejackets" be re- placed by something of more ser
 vceable nature, for example, khaki or forestry green. He comments ire quently on the need for hospital ship to accompany each fleet, especial ly in relation to the operations at Vera Cruz, and the lessons to be gain ed by their study.
