Germans Persist British
Lost a Battle Cruiser

Berlin, Jan. q (by wireless to Say
vile, y. YD.-COntrary 10 the British
reports that in the naval fight in the
North Sea on Sunday last no British
ships were lost and that pursuit of the
German ships finally was abandoned
on account of German mines and sub
marines, the following official state
ment was given out to-day BY the Ger
man government:
an the three hours fight which cost
us the armored cruiser Bliicher. one
British battle cruiser and two British
destroyers were sunk.
These facts not only were observed
by our big ships, but also were ascer-
tanned by German torpedo boat when
returned unhurt. This torpedo boat
shot two torpsdoes against a British
battle cruiser which already was heel
ing over, whereupon she capsized and
sank.
This also was ascertained by a Ger
man dirigible which was flying over the
fighting zone. The dirigible observed
on other British ships falling masts
and tunnels. IL is certain. therefore.
that further cruisers were seriously
damaged.
Finally the British fleet withdrew
from the German squadron and beyond
the reach Of their guns There was no
question OF pursuit of the German
ships because the high speed Cf
the British vessels would have enabled
them 10 catch up with and destroy the
German cruisers.
This time il is possible TO verify the
British reports, which il was impossi-
Bile 10 do in the case Of the battle otf
the Falkland Islands, Of which details
are lacking. We only know that sew
eral British ships are now docking at
Gibraltar TO repair damages inflicted
by the German cruisers Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau, and that therefore the
British official report on the battle off
the Falkland Islands at least is incom-
pleto and colored in British interests.
The unreliability of the reports Of
the British Admiralty is also proved by
the fact that the Admiralty even now
does not admit the loss of the battle
ship Audacious."
Germans Still Positive.
The British Admiralty's announce
ment that the battle cruiser Lion was
towed back 70 Englan in a damaged
condition was received in Berlin as
confirmation Of earlier German reports
that in addition TO the battle cruiser
which it was asserted had been sunk.
other British ships received serious in
iuries.
The official German statement of the
entire loss of one British battle cruis- /
er is adhered TO as positively as ever.

AND OATS
FOR DRAFT COLTS
Greedy, Mature Horses Often
Eat Too Much and Suffer
From Impaction.

Growing draft colts have seldom, If
ever, been injured by eating too much
alfalfa and oats. Mature horses of a
greedy disposition, If allowed to run
to alfalfa racks at will, may eat too
much and suffer attacks of impaction
Draft mares heavy in foal, and taking
but little exercise, not infrequently
suffer from attacks of this nature. An
alfalfa pasture is splendid place to
develop draft colts with maximum
OF bone and muscle.
Some complaint comes from the
humid regions to the effect that mares
on alfalfa pasture during the breeding
season are hard to get in foal. This
trouble seems to be more or less FOCAL.
and can be prevented by temporarily
keeping the mares in other pastures.
An alfalfa patch forms a splendid
night pasture for work horses, provid-
ing they are used to it and are turned
out regularly.
Good, well-colored alfalfa is of prac-
tically the same composition as wheat
bran. and is of equal value to it in the
horse ration.

SANITARY FLOORS
IN DAIRY STABLE
Concrete Is Best and Should
Be Used When Building Is
Being Erected.

Brick or concrete are the only
floors one can safely say are sanitary.
Brick should be laid upon a good SUBJ
base, and if this is not a good firm
foundation it should be well tamped
before laying the brick.
The brick floor having been COM
pleted the cracks should be filed with
a mixture of cement and sand. The
proportion which will best fill the re-
quirements is one part cement to one
and one-half parts of good, clean sand.
This should be mixed thin enough
to spread easily and then swept into
the cracks with heavy barn broom
or steel brush. Such a floor will be
found very sanitary and not so slip
perry as concrete.
Concrete is the best and most sani-
tary floor that can be used in a dairy
barn, and effort should be made to
have such floors installed whenever a
barn is being constructed. When stable
floors become dangerous, making it
necessary to replace them, concrete
should always be used if the floors rest
upon the ground.

(By r. G. HERMAN.)

tBy f. q. EEtSMAN.)
When nectar is gathered it is thin
and watery. The heat Of the hive, aid
ed by the manipulation of the bees,
gradually reduces the nectar to thick,
ripe" honey. When the honey is ripe
the bees seal it over. That is their
finishing touch which proclaims that it
is ready for market, or for use. While
there is an excess of water in the
honey, the bees will not seal it over.
They will leave it to evaporate.
This process of evaporation is the
rlpening process. AS it goes on, the
honey gets thicker and heavier, until
it has reached the proper density.
Then, as already remarked, the bees
certify to it's ripeness by sealing it
over.
After honey has been thoroughly
fipened in the hive and is then re-
moved. it's future palatableness de-
ponds entirely upon the care that it re-
ceives. Too many look at honey as
simple sweet, like cane sugar, forget
ting that its flavor, it's aroma, are it's
chief attractions, and honey, when
first. taken from the hive, has very
distinctly the flavor of the flowers from
which it was gathered.
Each variety of blossoms gives
distinctive flavor. BY tasting of honey
an expert can very readily tell from
what class of blossoms it was gath
cred.
Thoroughly ripened, extracted honey
should be at once put into bottles, cans
or barrels, and sealed up tight, and
then put in dry place. 1t will of
course, soon candy or crystalline, but
the flavor will be retained indefinite
ly and the honey can be liquefied when
ever it is needed for use.
Care must be exercised in melting
the honey that the flavor is not in
jured by the application of too great
heat. Of course, the honey will not
be burned if it is not heated hotter
than boiling water, but the application
of so great heat as this rapidly
drives off the flavor.
Keeping the package closed and ap-
plying very gentle heat, never above
$50 degrees, is the better way. Put
ting up the honey in such packages as
can easily be put into warm water
makes the liquefying more convenient.
The Odanah star. [volume] (Odanah, Ashland Co., Wis.) 1912-1916, 1915-01-15

When reliquefyIng graduated honey
place the receptacle containing the
honey into vessel of water and place
few thin strips of wood between the
bottom of the two cans.
The honey should be kept at heat
ed temperature for at least three or
four hours (according to size of re-
ceptacle) to insure perfect liquefying.
Any granules which are not thorough
ly dissolved will hasten the solidify-
ing of honey.
Light and colo are two elements
which also have an undesired effect.
Probably the best condition for pre-
serving honey is to keep it warm, dry
and dark, similar to it's condition in
side of the bee hive.
Honey has great affinity for mois-
ture, and If comb honey is stored in e
damp atmosphere it will absorb the
moisture through the lightly porous
cappings and become thin and watery.
The bulk of the honey will be so in
creased that it will burst the cells and
ooze out. The honey may become so
thin that fermentation may set in.
Cold is also detrimental to comb
honey, causing it to candy in the cells.
When comb honey is first taken from
the hives it should be stored in hot,
dry atmosphere.
Very few people know how to keep
honey. The average housewife will
usually put the honey in the cellar or
into the refrigerator for safe keeping.
About the two worst places possible.
Honey is kept very differently from
fruit
Honey is thoroughly ripe when taken
from the hive and will therefore not
ferInent unless it is placed in q cool
moist place.
A great many have not learned that
it is just as important to take proper
care of the honey and put it OH the
market in first class condition as it is
to use the best and most economical
means of securing it.
One of the essentials of proper care
is keeping the honey in very dry and
warm place; especially is this true of
comb honey or extracted honey in
open cans. Honey taints very easily
and for this reason I prefer that as lit
tie smoke as possible be used when
taking it from the hive.

SALTS If BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or II Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
bOdy's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t Is inexpensive, cannot

vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.
