BUY YOUR CLOVER SEED NOW
Plenty of Home Grown Seed in COun-
ty and County Agent Will Help
You Obtain Supply
(By J. E. Neil.)

During the past season Redwood
County produced several hundred
bushels of high classed clover seed.
A great portion of this seed has been
hulled already and there is still a
portion of it unhulled. Many Of the
men who grew this seed are anxious
to dispose of it an early date in or
der to get their money out of the
crop.
This seed should be kept right here
IN the county, as there is no question
but that it would be better for the
people who purchase it as as the coun-
ty. Another thing, this amount of
seed will probably be sown in the
county before seeding is over. In the
view of this, why is it not a good
idea to decide right now as to how
much seed you will need for next
year and take your choice of good
clean homegrown seed direct from
the man who grew it.
We shall be glad to assist anyone
in the matter of locating clover seed
and hope that the people of the coun-
ty will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity.

in many communities regulations are
in force which compel the protection
of bread and bakery products between
the oven and the home. Bread wrapped
with either porous or parafined pa
per is now common sight even in
small villages of the United States.
Although this practice has met with
approval in many quarters, it has been
claimed that wrapping injured the
quality and palatability of the loaf.
This claim demands consideration
along with the possible sanitary adj
vantages. A chemical investigation of
the subject has been completed in the
department Of food and drugs Of the
Indiana State Board of Health. The
wrapping of the bread either in semi
porous waxed or prarffin paper re-
tads the escape of moistue and tends
rather to the preservation of the
freshness of the bread than to it's
staleness. Unwrapped bread loses its
freshness after the first day, while
the early keeping quality both as to
condition of crumb flavor and odor is
enhanced by the use of wrappers.
There is, accordingly, no occasion at
present for discarding what has
seemed to many to be wholesome
innovation in the distribution of bak-
cry products. Mechanical Journal.

All Bread Should
Now Be Wrapped
To Be Sanitary The Bread Must Be
Wrapped as Soon as Taken
From Oven

1t has been said that the making of
a perfect loaf of bread is the goal of
all those who aspire to excel in cook
cry. Certainly bread, which forms
part of every we'll planned meal, is
food of which the palate never tires.
Let the loaf be ever so satisfactory,
however, when it leaves the bakers
oven, it may nevertheless experience
subsequent changes which sooner or
later render it less attractive, palat-
able. or wholesome. Stale bread does
not appeal to the taste in the same
way that fresh specimens of the "staff
of life'' do; but in addition to the de-
velopment of staleness bread may al
so develop so-called bread diseases
caused by heterogeneous, rendering
the product unfit for human consump-
ton. Furthermore, like many other
unprotected and carelessly handled
articles of food, exposed bread may
become purely mechanical carrier
of Objectionable organisms.
The recent agitation in behalf of
improved conditions in the food in
dustries has involved not only the
adulteration of the products entering
into the ration of man and the domes-
tic animals, but likewise the cleanli-
ness of the articles of diet intended
for human concentration The rloo FOR.
clean milk is becoming more promi-

MILLIONAIRE AND BEANS

there are some men, used to mush-
rooms, caviare, canvasback ducks,
champagne and such things, who can
be tempted more with a good old
fashioned plate of ham and fried eggs
than they could with any delicacy at
Sherry's. The Office Window will
never forget the extravagant joy Of
millionaire who had accepted an
invitation to pot luck at his house
when he found that the meal consisted
wholly Of pot of baked beans, with
a large piece of salt pork in the mid
die of them.
The way that millionaire filled up on
the pork and beans was almost be-
yond belief; he radiated enjoyment
all through the meal, and never got
over talking about it. This dinner
that gave him such delight never cost
his entertainer cent, for it had all
been prepared beforehand for the fam
lily, who didn't know the man was
coming. If he had been expected a
lot of money would probably have
been spent on meal that would have
been poor, weak imitation of the
rich mans customary bill of fare, and
would not have pleased him at ALL
