BACK TO GRASS

Nature was once very liberal in
 supplying soil fertility, the basis of life and human progress. Our virgin soils produced abundantly with little assistance from man. The soil was once so well supplied with plant food and organic matter that drouth, ex- cessive rains or neglect in tillage sell dom produced failure. But today with mans wasteful methods of farm
 ing the soil in most instances has lost much of it's plant food and organic matter, consequently it takes favor able seasons and the best possible till age to produce fair crops under ordi- nary conditions.
 Our fault has been that we expect nature to do more for us than we have done for ourselves. We have too often used the natural advantages for successful farming and stock rais- ing without supplying something to take its place.
 AS an example of this we cultivate the soil in such a way that the organic matter derived from plants and ami mals is destroyed, but instead of turn ing under the stalks, weeds, etc, we burn them. Instead of planting and turning under cover crops we sell the hay and grain and leave the land bare and exposed to summer sun and winter washing rains.
 The forests, prairies and plains were once covered with luxuriant native grass when cattle and sheep thrived With little attention from their own CTS. Today the forests, prairies and palns are in fields and pastures and ittle attention is given to cultivated grasses hays, and forage plants. In other words, the soil does ot produce grazlng but crops to be sold, and with II plant food, necessary to the life and happiness of ourselves and descend ants.
 Every acre of land that can be spared should be maintained in grass. ufasS means beef, mutton, milk, but ter and increased soil fertility. It is natures way of providing food for man and animals; it is the foundation VI llfe and prosperity in farming.
 The great change in connections due to Increase in population, higher land pflees and loss in fertility do not mean greater poverty, unless we confess 'iae We are not capable of meeting present. conditions. There are greater opportunities today for profitable iarmlng than ever before, but only for siose who meet new conditions. The a'eillgent farmer does not expect na- ,ufe '. unaided to keep his farm fertile. .ie Will "go to grass;" raise livestock, improve his soil and get his we'll esfned reward in perseverance. Many VI our fields should be converted into gestures with livestock to harvest it. " sodding small portion from year :" year large farm could be made | "rgln ready for larger yields.-Farm and Ranch.

men unsteady; girls lively and in de
mand papa firm, but declining; ma.
mas unsettled, waiting for higher bids;
coffee, considerably mixed; fresh fish,
active and slippery; eggs quiet, but eX-
pected to open soon; whisky, still going
down; onions, strong; yeast, rising;
breadstutfs, heavy; boots and shoes
those on the market are sold and con.
stantly going up and down; hats and

tobacco, very low and has downwart
tendency; silver close but not close

Potato Meal Bread

Baking experiments TO test the value
OF making bread Of potato meal mixed
with wheat flour are now being under.
taken by the United States Depart
ment of agricultnre's bureau of chem.
is'ry. This is to test the possibilities
OF the potato in the same manner n,
Germany and Austria ARE now advising
their people to do. The Increased cost
OF living throughout the world has
emphasized the fact that -four made of
other substances than wheat, or of
these substances mixed with wheat.
might provide people with hcallhrul
food quite as nutritious AS the pur.
| wheat flour, aud at the same time
cheaper.
Austrian bakers are now cnmpcll, d
by law to use at least 80 per cent puta.
to meal In making their bread. The
bureau of Chemistry's potato meal
bread has been baked with from % to
% per cent potato. meal AMI the re
naming percentage wheat The most
satisfactory aves in comb Ming
economy and appearances were those
made with the minimum percentage
allowed in Austria or less. The loayes
made with more than 30 per cent 30,
tato.meal were not so satisfactory rs
they were heavier and less attractive
in form. The bread has n rather coarse
texture and dark appearance but pos.
sesses distinctive and agreeable
flavor. 1t also retains moisture for a
much longer period than ordinary
wheat bread.
The Bureau of Chemistry used the
imported potato flake" in some of its
experiments and in o'hcrs. meal made
by slicing, milling and drying potatoes
on n small scale in its laboratories, 1t
should be added that such ordinary
"potato flour" rs is on our American
markets is not the same as the Gel ma,,
potato flake, or Walzmehl, which has
given such satisfactory results in the
experiments.
The question has been raised as to
whether the ordinary cooked potato
might not he satisfactorily substituted
for the prepared potato-meal. The ex-
perimenters believe that it might serve
the same purpose il used in just the
right proportion, but this would be
difficult for the average housewife to
determine rs there is greater danger
OF using too much ana producing a
very soggy loaf. However, the custom
OF adding avery little potato is already
used by many housekeepers to keep
their bread moist and this practice can
very well he recommended for more
general use. Omaha Trade Exhibit
