CANNING is
QUITE PROFITABLE
One Advantage Is That Industry
Offers Employment to Young
Folks During Vacation.

prepared by the United States DEPART
ment of Asriculture.)
The canning of tomatoes has In re-
cent years grown to be an important
commercial industry. according to the
department of agriculture. In 1909
there we're 12,s0o,000 cases of IL cans
each packed in the United States.
This immense pack exceeded the
combined aggregate of any three other
vegetables. Only tomatoes used in
commercial canning and not those
used in home canning figures in this
total
1t is estimated that the area devoted
to tomatoes in the home garden is
equal to or greater than that en-
ployed in their field culture or the
quantity grown In the garden a con-
siderable surplus goes to waste and
brings no return to the cultivator. To
insure plenty of fruit for home use 1t
is customary to set out about twice
as many plants as are actually neces-
sary.
In order that the canned product of
the garden may find ready market

mark which is distinctive and which
will tend to hold the trade for the
product as 1t gains a reputation in the
market. One advantage of the home
canning of tomatoes In comparison
with other employment open to young
people in the country, is that 1t occurs
during the vacation period. The large
return In canned goods derived from
single acre makes the industry re-
munerative and. since the canning
can be done during the vacation sea
son 1t can be carried on without inter
fering with school work 1t is surpris-
ing how many tomatoes can be raised
on an acre, and what little expense is
involved In raising and preparing
them for market

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR THE SHEEPF0LD
Mistake of Turning Animals Out
on Young Grass and Stopping
Grain Is Expensive.

Y you find lamb apparently dead
from cold. souse him in pail of
water as hot as the hand can bear 1t.
III he does not revive before the water
= >comes cool, heat 1t again and he
Nelikely come around. Wipe him
drH, give him some hot milk and in
al hour he will be as fit as ever.
Lifting or dragging sheep by its
wool is Just as humane as dragging
a child around by the hair of its head.
The wise shepherd will treat his
ewes with the creosote solution for
stomach worms before turning them
out to pasture.
Salt is medicine to a sheep. and it
is cheap medicine at that
With spring lambs bringing from
$3.50 to $3.50 in the markets. who
can say there is no profit In the 5usi-
ness?
The mistake of turning sheep out
on young grass and suddenly stopping
the grain feed is nearly always very
expensive. 1t is likely to set the
sheep back several weeks.
1t Is fact that sheep can be raised
on the least expensive of foods and
return a better profit for the little
care that is given them than any
other farm animal.
Never keep an unthrifty eve on the
place. Fatten her as quickly as pos
sible and get rid of her.
When breeding stock is selling
away down low by discouraged flock
masters that is the time to buy few
good ewes.
II you have plenty of alfalfa and
barley, with some sound turnips. your
young sheep will lay on fat amazingly
fast. Don't need corn when you have
these rations.
10 not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners or huddle in under
brush. The best shade is shed on
open ground where there is no grass.
A little bit of shelter is fine for
sheep. Even If 1t be nothing more
than high board fence on the side
toward the sunshine 1t will help a
lot The sheep can snuggle up near
to that and escape the direct rays of
the sun.
Better than suc ence is a piece
of woodland. We have cluster of
little hemlocks in our pastms, up on
side hill. The sheep run up into
that and escape not only the heat, but
also the miserable flies that hurt
them 80.
1t is a queer fancy with some men
that sheep can get enough drink by
eating grass when the dew is on In
the early morning Stop and think
how very, very little water a sheep
could get that way. Give them a good
spring or a trough. to drink from.

Still Hope France Will Agree
to U. S. Using German Ships

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. The
French governments unfavorable re-
ply to the American proposal for rec
ognition Of the neutrality of belliger-
ent ships carrying refugees from
Europe, was not final decision, Sec
rotary Bryan said today. The pro-
posal was made in connection with
the plan to charter Hamburg-Ameri-
can liners to bring United States citi-
zens home. France indicated its dis
approval. contending it would be an
advantage to German shipping.
With the return to Washington of
Jules Jusserand, the French ambas-
sador it was understood negotiations
on the subject would be renewed. The
American government is anxious to
establish the principle that ships
chartered TO carry the citizens of
neutrals may be regarded as on a
mission of philanthropy, one of the
circumstances, according to the sec
ond Hague convention, under which
vessels are exempt from capture. At
present Americans are able to leave
Europe through other arrangements.

them to evacuate their position, put
the orders never reached this bat
talon, which became isolated by the
Germans. but with a strong fort on
each flank. The Germans were aware
of their presence. but did not know
their strength and the Belgians, en-
trenching. were able to hold Out eight
days after the retirement of the main
Belgian field force. and repulsed con-
slant German attacks. Finally, when
their rations ran short, they succeed
ed in breaking through the German
lines and, after many hair-breadtn
escapes. reached Seraing.
This was not accomplished without
several brushes with the enemy, dur
ing which many of their number we're
