CLAIMS IDEA IS
 NOT DEMOCRATIC
Senator Bankhead Thinks State Has Enough Troubles Without Man
 aging Corporations in Cities

That the idea of state control of cor porations doing business in municipali- ties was contrary to the democratic doc Urine of home rule and common sense, as well, was a statement yesterday of Sen ator John H. Bankhead of Jasper. who was a visitor to Birmingham.
 Let the cities regulate their own af- fairs and attend to their own business would be a good rule for everybody to follow" he said. The state has trouble enough of it's own. A public utility com mission has served satisfactorily in no state according to my information. In Alabama 1t would stagnate municipal af- fairs, and at the same time scare capital especially that which is preparing to in vest. out of the environs of the common wealth."
 Regarding the resignation of William J. Bryan from the cabinet of the Presi- dent. Senator Bankhead had nothing to say for publication. He admitted, how ever. that he had we'll fixed opinion re- garding that episode
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-06-18

for publication. I think you will find that his article as published is no answer to my suggestion made to him: To have the question of one commissioner or city manager also placed on the ticket for the coming election. Every business concern has one responsible head and could not get along without it; and 1t seems to me that if this plan were adopted in our city quibbling among the commissioners as we have had 1t for the past few years would stop and we might finally get down to a self-supporting basis
 As to the board of education cer- tainly think we might by having 1t elec- tive succeed in getting one that would listen more attentivey to suggestions made in regard to Improvements in our school system than the present board does. The fact that the present board is appointed does not seem to take it out of politics any more than if the peo- pie had their say about it.
 Very truly yours,

VINEGAR AS A CLEANSER
Housekeeper Should Familiarize Her self With Good Qualities of
 That Liquid.

Vinegar is useful in many ways other than culinary. It will remove shoe-blacking from clothing.
 It will remove fly specks from al most nything-windows picture frames. woodwork, etc.
 Vinegar is something of tonic for the skin, and cures roughness of the skin and ehafing if applied after wash ing the hands. It should be permitted to dry on.
 It will soften a paintbrush on which the paint has been permitted to dry. Heat the vinegar to the boiling point and let the brush simmer in it few minutes. Then remove it and wash it well in strong soapsuds.
 Vinegar is unriva1ed as an agent for cleaning dirt and smoke from walls and woodwork. especially yellow pine It should be applied with a flannel cloth, and the flannel washed out in clear water as soon as 1t becomes soiled and before being dipped into the vinegar again. This makes the vinegar an inexpensive cleaner, besides being the most satisfactory way in which the work can be done.

KEEPING THE RANGE SHINY
a Little Work, and the Knowing How, Will Prevent it Ever eecor-
 ing Dull or Red.

To good housekeeper nothing Is more unsightly than dull or red iron range. Much energy is wasted by these same housewives trying, yet not knowing how to correct the trouble Here is suggestion:
 Let the range cool fnot get coId) Scrub 1t as you would boards, all over the top thoroughly, with hot water and soap: let it dry. Have a thick lambs wool mitten such as comes for the purpose: slip the hand in it Rub parafiin wax over the range. then rub 1t In with the mitten. When there is an even coat, shake powdered stove blackfng over it and rub it in with the same mitten. Behold beautiful. shiny rangei
 Perhaps it will wear of soon. Do not feel discouraged. for it will last much longer than when polished by the old method, and no vigorous, tire some polishing with brushes; no dust: to say nothing of having clean hands.
 This may be done after breakfast If the fire is used at noon or night just give it rub with the mitten, not using any more paraffin or powder this time. In the absence of mitten old underwear serves admirably.
 The range should only be scrubbed once before first applying paraffin.

DECIDE ON CROP ROTATIONS
Necessary First to Know How Many and What Kind of Animals Are
 to Be Raised on Farm.

Tn deciding on a rotation for a farm 1t is necessary first to know how many and what kind of animals are to be raised. Also whether grain farming. cotton farming, fruit farming, or what kind of farming IS to De practiced.
 On A stock farm, the rotations are easily taken care of. Such farming demands large acreage of grasses and legumes and forage crops, all of which are very valuable in rotation. If is well to group the different crops grown in three classe: l, grain crops: 2. grasses and legumes; 5, cul- tivated crops. A rotation will consist in changing from one of these classes of crops to another. A change from cowpeas to grain is valuable one; while change from wheat to oats is of little or no value.
 The grasses and legumes can be considered soil improvers. The culti- yated crops can be called soil cleaners. The grain crops can be considered money crops. and they are the crops which put the soil into bad physical condition and are of not much value in keeping weeds in check. On a mixed farm, therefore. where cowpeas. wheat, kafir and cotton are grown, TO- tation of these crops in the order giy en. will be very satisfactory. Corn may be substituted fer the katir, oats may be substituted for the wheat and so on in each case. One of the best ways to grow cowpeas is to plant your kafir and corn in 6-foot rows and plant a row of cowpeas between each row of kafir and corn at the time of your second blowing.
 Unlcss one knows something about the type of farming to be followed, together with the number of live stock to be kept. 1t is not possible to know what rotations to use. However, by keeping these different points in mind, 1t should be possible to develop a TO- tation suitable for every farm and ev- cry soil condition.-Departme of Agronomy. Oklahoma A. and NJ.

(By DAVID B. GARRISON. Robstown.
 Tex)
 Since the publication, short time ago. of a rather exhaustive and highly commendatory bulletin on sudan grass by the United States department of agriculture, interest has greatly in- creased in this new crop.
 Sudan grass has now entirely passed the experimental stage, and shown it. self worthy of place among the great staple crops of America From bull letins issued by the department of agriculture of the United States, and by experimental stations in various states, the following facts regarding sudan grass may be stated with au- thority:
 It is the progenitor of the sorgum family. In appearance it resembles Johnson grass, but it lacks the root stalks and therefore never can become pest. It is the equal, if not superior of all other forage crops in feeding value It has a special value as a drought resistant It possesses re- markable yirility and will grow and

SHIPPING EGGS TO MARKET
All Boosters Should Be Killed at the End of Breeding Season to h.
 sure lnfertlle Eggs.

(By F. c. HARE, Clemson Agricultural
 College)
 L Eggs must not be over six days old. In cool weather they must be gathered at least once a day and in warm weather twice day. This is necessary in order to prevent hens from sitting on the eggs and starting incubation.
 ?. As infertile eggs will keep bet ter than fertile eggs, all roosters should be killed at the close of the breeding season, May 1. Do not allow any roosters to be with the hens in summer, as if fertile the eggs will not reach the market in good condition. You can raise cockerels this year for breeding with the hens next year.
 8. Keep nests clean. Put fresh straw in them frequently. This is impor. tant.
 4 Do not wash eggs. A damp cloth may be used to remove stains, but the eggs must not be dipped in water.
 5 Pack only clean eggs in cases or cartons. Ship only full cases of 30 dozen eggs Do not ship half-filled cases. Place about one-half inch of excelsior in bottom of case and over top row of eggs in case, to prevent eggs from shaking in shipping. A case should be made up of all white eggs or all brown eggs. Do not mix colors.

exceedingly humid. It has been ex- perimented with successfully as far north as Alberta. On account of it's rapid growth it probably has no su- perior as catch crop. For seeding to the first crop seventy-five to eighty days are necessary. The second cut ting comes on about forty-fve days aft CT the first, and the third is likely to take a little longer, fifty to fifty-hve days. In the extreme South as many as four cuttings a season have been secured. While particularly suited for semiarid districts, sudan grass has grown in Colorado within fifteen miles of eternal snow. It is successfully cultivated there at an altitude of from seven to eight thousand feet. From two to four pounds are necessary to seed all acre. Each seed will pro duce at least one hundred stalks. Su- dan grass yields an average of three hundred pounds of seed to the acre.
 Sudan grass fits well into most any crop rotation or cropping system prac- ticed in this country. Planted in the spring it produces from two to four crops and is killed by the first freeze of winter. It makes intensive farming an easy possibility where it has hith- erto not been practical. It thus ln- creases the possibilities of this coun- try for large population. It pro duces an average of possibly four tons of hay to the acre. At $1O ton sudan hay will be worth considerably more to the farmer, acre for acre, than cotton at 12 cents pound. In the irrigated sections of the West. where alfalfa is depended upon as the chief feed for dairy cattle, the need of a nutritious grass hay is felt. Alfalfa fed constantly has an undesirable eff feet upon the animals. An ideal hay ration for dairy cattle or work ani- mals is part sudan grass and part alfalfa
 For this season our sudan grass is an ideal crop for the alfalfa grow ing sections of the United States. To sum up sudan grass means much to the nation, because it will augment the supply ot IINe sLocn ana liSo sIocn products; more horses, mules, beef cattle. sheep and goats; more milk and butter. Thus the nations food supply will be increased, working ad- vantage both to the buyer in the city and the seller in the country.

crumbs, shaking off any surplus so that it does not make the coating too thick. The fat should be smoking hot and then tested with a small cube of bread; if it browns in 40 seconds it is hot enough for all uncooked mixtures, 60-second test of the same will be right for all cooked mixtures. When fat bubbles and boils. too much moisture is in the mixture and few less should be add ed to the fat. Five or six croquettes or cakes are sufficient to cook at one time. After removing from the hot fat the food should be drained on pa- per. When fat needs clarifying. add a few slices of raw potato and cook un- til brown, then strain the fat through double cheese cloth to remove all set tlings.
 Cheese Croquettes.-To three table spoonfuls of melted butter add third of cupful of flour and stir until we'll blended, then pour gradually one cup ful of milk.
