1t would be unkindly to compare

We had six splendid lectures every

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

Prepared by the United States Depapt-
ment OF Agriculture)
The canning of tomatoes has I'm re-
cent years grown to be an important
commercial industry. according to the
department of agriculture. In 1909
there were 12.S00.000 cases OF 12 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.
II 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 cultiyator. To
insure plenty OF fruit for home use II
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
II must be put up In attractive form In
containers suitable for commercial
purposes, and should bear a trade
mark which is distinctive and which
Will tend to hold the trade for the
product as 1t gains a reputation In the

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

II you find a lamb apparently dead
from cold. souse him In pail OF
water as hot as the hand can bear II.
II he does not revive before the water
becomes cool, heat II again and he
will likely come around. Wipe him
dry. give him some hot railk and In
an hour he will be as 1T as ever.
Lifting or dragging a sheep by its
wool is just as humane as dragging
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,

ness7
The mistake OF turning sheep out
on young grass and suddenly stopping
the grain feed is nearly always very
expensive, II Is likely to set the
sheep back several weeks.
II Is a 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
slble and get rid OF her.
When breeding stock is selling
away down low by discouraged flock
masters that is the time to buy a 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.
Do not allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners or huddle in under
brush. The best shade is a shed on
open ground where there is no grass,
A little bit OF shelter is fine for
sheep. Even IL II be nothing more
than high board fence on the side
toward the sunshine II viii help a
lot. The sheep can snuggle up near
TO that and escape the direct rays of
the sun.
Better than such fence is a piece
OF woodland. We have cluster OF
little hemlocks In our pasture, up on
side hill. The sheep run up into
that and escape not only the heat, but
also the miserable flies that hurt
them so.
II 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 good
spring or a trough to drink from.

KITCHEN AND PANTRY

IL you open a can OF peaches and
fnd them fermented do not throw
them away. Heat them over. sweeten
little and make them into pie.
In making a fruit cake pour half the
batter In the pan before adding the
fruit. then the fruit will not be found
at the bottom OF the cake.
Don't forget that microbes are apt
to lurk about the mouth OF the milk
bottle. II should be carefully wiped
on before the milk is poured on.
When boiling cabbage try placing
q small vessel OF vinegar on the back
OF the stove. The odor OF the cabbage
will not be so unpleasant.
A satisfactory washcloth Is made OF
two or three thicknesees OF mosquito
netting. The edges are finished by
crocheting a scallop In pink or blue.

dltion for Pies.

Thousands OF cooks and housewives
are In the dark as to the proper meth
cd OF preparing and cooking that
much-beloved vegetable rhubarb,
which comes so near being a fruit.
Our mothers usually pulled the
stalks. cut on the leaves and took a
knife and stripped of the skin in long,
narrow strips before the remaining
portion OF the stems was cut into
short pieces for cooking.
The proper way is to remove the
leaves, and an inch or more OF the
stalk next 10 the leaf. and then thor.
oughly wash and remove all that slip
perry matter that is on the end next to
the root.
II there are any rusty spots, or
worm holes. those should be cut out,
but oil the rest OF the skin should be
left on the stalk. and the whole thing
cut into short sections and cooked
with the skin remaining.
The highly colored skin gives the
cooked product a much nicer appear.
ance. and better still there is flavor
derived from the skin that cannot be
secured In any other way.
Physicians say that rhubarb cooked
or baked in pies or puddngs Is much
more healthful II the skin is left on
and cooked with the center OF the
stalks.
Another important fact not general
ly known about rhubarb is that II is
not spoiled when It willis or withers a
bit In lying about the market or the
kitchen.
The fact Is when rhubarb is some
