FROZEN FISH SAFE

Of safety which should BIZ sufficient
for all purposes.
1T is essential, however, that the
fish be frozen In their freshest state
ice which excludes the air. In prac-
tice, the fish are now dressed by re-
moval Of the entrails as soon as they
are caught. thoroughly washed. and
laid In shallow pans.
These pans are placed on the ice
covered pipes Of the freezer. which
usually Is at a temperature llttlo
lower than zero. After from twelve
to twenty-four hours the fish aiH
frozen solid. They then form largo
cake held together by the freezing Of
the thin layer Of water between the
fish.
This cake Is removed from the pan
and dipped into water, which is AT
once frozen on the fish, forming a
crystal glaze OF ice like transparent
varnish. This glaze Theoretically seals
them. No air can reach theL- from
the outside and no moisture can evap-
crate from the inside.
The glazed fish are then kept at
4 temperature of from seven degrees
to fifteen degrees F. until needed for
consumption.
Frozen fish Is thus the only fish
produce the composition of which Is
not altered IN some way by the process
OF preservation. Canning. smoking,
sailing or picking all alter the flavor
of the treated article. With frozen
fish, however. the envelope of ice has
only to be melted in order to give us
back an article of food that is prac.
tically identical with that taken from
the sea. If 1t were not for such a
method of preservation fish could not
be depended upon as a constant source
OF food
Another objection raised by the
many housewives Is the fish odor
which makes them undesirable COM

James K. Polk, when George Bancroft

agitation for a naval school cameo

Younger officers, who saw as the navy
increased that the requirements were
multiplied, the tide began to rise ul-
til 1t brought the first buildings to the
grounds of Fort Severn.
Early DAYS in the Academy.
The course under Commander
Franklin Buchanan was fixed at nVe
years OF which only the first and last
were to be spent at the school In
January. 1916, four months after the
opening, the students consisted OF 80
midshipmen Of the date OF lS40, Is
of the date of 1871, and seven actlne
middles appointed to the previous
year. The first group was graduated
after their limited course of one year
in 1916.
In 1850 came the first reorganization
providing for a course of seven years
the first two and the last two TO pc
devoted to study and the three inter
mediate years to be spent at sea- Next
year a board Of examiners dropped the
three years Of sea service in the MD
die of the course and the present Tour
consecutive years of study was IN
augurated. The practice cruises OF
the summer supplied the place OF the
omitted sea service.
The work Of the academy was SAD

part of the students went to the 'front.'
and the rest were moved for safety TO
Newport, r. |. But 1t has since then
followed the development OF our navy

COOLING MILK IN
The WARM MONTHS
Spring Water Must Be Supple
mented With Ice in Order to
Secure Low Temperature.

Artificial means are necessary to
cool milk in warm weather, and 1t
should be cooled promptly after draw
ing. 1t Is advisable to cool 1t to as
near 40 degrees as possible. Sterilize
the vessels and use care in drawing
the milk. promptly chilling it and
there will be no trouble experienced
with an excess bacterial count. A high
bacterial count is often the result of
the milk not being promptly or prop
erly cooled Use the thermometer
frequently to ascertain whether the
temperature Is low enough.
Milk will keep longer before 1t turns
sour IL 1t is drawn with reasonable
care, chilled to 40 degrees at once and
kept below so afterwards. Spring wa
ter Is often used by farmers to cool
the milk, but 1t must be supplemented
with ice In order to secure as low a
temperature as Is desirable to obtain
he best results.

1912 half the students or about 400
men we're involved in pool OF $4,000
which was raised to be wagered
against an equal amount collected at
West Point on the result Of an Army
Navy football game. The authorities
have stamped out the drinking Of in
toxicating liquors with an iron hand.
Another practice more than frowned
upon is the running Of extravagant
bills, especially for flowers and for
entertainment Of guests.
This is not the first time that acad-
envy examinations have caused rue
tons The entrance requirements
ments have been a fruitful source Of
trouble. The charge has been made
on the floor OF the house OF repre-
sentatives that the tests have been
made In such way that candidates
were forced to go to the preparatory
schools which specialize in getting
boys into the academy.
On several occasions, too, 1t has
been reported that candidates have
had substitutes take the examination
for them. Brilliant and INSCRIPTIONS

chance, but through years Of proper
breeding for certain characteristics
and specific function.
During hot, dry weather when flies
are troublesome, it pays to let the
calves stay inside all day and let
them run In the yards or pasture at
night
One of the greatest points in feed
ing calves is not to overfeed.
We need to have a clear idea of
what breeding does, or what feeding
does, or what care and environment
do, If we secure and maintain a
profitable dairy herd
Milk-giving Is habit that responds
to encouragement or neglect. 1t is a
function that may be developed or di-
unfinished by the treatment accorded

Lines of breeding which century
has evolved and stamped with ap-

theories of single mind, made tan

BEES NOT POISONED
BY ORCHARD SPRAYS
Results of Carefully Conducted
Investigations by Prof. c.
w. Woodwork.

There has long been a belief that
spraying blossoms with arsenate Of
lead or other poisons would kill the
bees that visited the blossoms after
spraying in their search for honey.
Prof. c. w. Woodwork of the Uni
versity of California has conducted
some careful Investigations in the
Pajaro valley, which are related by
him in Gleanings in Bee Culture,
showing that this fear Is groundless,
that the spraying can be done at the
time best for cooling moth control, and
that the bees can visit the blossoms
without injury.
A colony of bees from the university
at Berkeley was shipped to Watson.
Vile and placed In the midst Of 40
acre apple orchard at jacksonville just
before heavy spraying with arseni-
Gals was given. After being kept
there for some time without apparent
injury to the bees, the hive was
shipped back to Berkeley and kept
closed until a number OF the bees
were dead. These were taken out
and a considerable amount of arsenic
was found upon them, but it was all
on the outside, coming there by con-
tact, as would dust or powder Of any
kind. No internal arsenic was found
and the arsenic apparently had moth
ing to do with their deaths. There
was likewise no trace of arsenic in
the honey gathered by the bees from
the blossoms sprayed with arsenicals.
The right idea is to spray when the
blossoms need it. Keep bees If con-
venient to pollinize the blossoms, but
do not worry about the effect of the
spraying on them.

cess In attracting large congregations.
A great variety of special films
have been prepared suitable for such
use. and clergyman in selecting a
subject to his taste finds surprising

films suitable for sermons on all the
commandments, as well as many OF
the most familiar texts in the Bible.
Several Of the firms making a special
ty of such films issue regular cata.
logues to assist clergymen in select

In scores of churches the projecting
machines are part of the church furni-
ture. The rigid laws laid down by
the fire departments apply as well to
churches as to theaters and the ma
chimes must be set up in fireproof me-
tallic rooms. The electric wiring Is
arranged so that the sermon may be
turned on conveniently in the main
church auditorium or the lecture or
chapter rooms.
The screens and the rest OF the
equipment are of the usual standard
type. Many of the film houses which

The film sermons are rented out at
a regular rate, according to their

Agricultural College to attend the
sessions OF the Colorado Farmers
Congress and Extension Short

Indications are that a very much
larger number OF farmers will be
in attendance on the sessions Of the
congress this year than ever before.
The farmers in every section of Colo
RADIO are evincing a growing interest
in the congress, for they realize that
in the lectures and discussions and
opportunity for an exchange OF ideas
is available vast fund of informa-
ton which can be put in practical
use upon their farms.
The program for this year is an
unusually strong one. Government
officials. members of the faculty and
technical staff of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College as well as practical
farmers thpmselypa will he IN tho
program, discussing in the five
days session many of tho most i'm
