Notwithstanding the low fuel value
of the leaves and stalks of plants that
are commonly served under the name
greens" the thrifty housewife recog-
nizes the necessity of supplying her
family with this type of food. Partic-
ularly in the early spring will she sup
ply her family bountifully with them,
as they are very welcome after the
winter diet of canned goods, dried
vegetables and root vegetables stored
in the cellar. A double purpose may
be accomplished in the country home
by the use of wild greens, namely,
freeing the ground from weeds and
providing food. The common dande-
lion may be used in this way.
The dandelion is cut close to the
ground before the flower bud has eX-
panded. When it is desired to root
out the plant from a lawn, the entire
root must be dug up; if simply the
top is cut off, the dandelion grows
again and in larger head. The slight
ly bitter flavor of the leaves is not
disagreeable. The roots furnish a
bitter extract often used incidentally,
particularly in the domestic medicine
of early times. When cultivated, the
dandelion is milder and more tender,
and may be used as salad, as may the
very young wild plants.
Asparagus is long-lived, easily cul-
tivated delicacy, and it is strange that
any farm should lack it. Many an
asparagus bed does good service to
the second and third generation of
owners. 1t can be cooked in many
ways. AS is the case with most green
vegetables its delicate flavor is spoiled
by overlooking. 1t should be cooked
only long enough to make it tender.
Spinach is a favorite form of green's
and is seen in city markets most of
the year. 1t can be grown easily in
any garden. A French proverb calls
it the broom of the stomach and it
appears to be richer in iron than most
common foods. The tenderest leaves
may be served raw as a salad.
Lettuce makes an excellent green"
for cooking, although American house
wives seldom realize this. In Europe
the tougher or outer leaves of the let
tuce are used in particular in this
way. Care should be taken to see
that such lettuce is not overlooked.
Rhubarb is another plant in which
the leafstalks are the useful portion,
though it may from it's use be classed
as fruit rather than as vegetable.
The various acids and other fiavors it
contains are acceptable in the early
spring when it is at it's best. Later
in the season, when the stalks are
tough and fibrous, the juice may be
extracted for jelly making. Because
1t contains some oxalic acid the use
of rhubarb is frequently forbidden to
persons of equity tendencies, or with
certain other diseases.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By c. &. BOWSFlELD

In the production of poultry meat
farmers work In slow and restricted
way unless they procure good sized
incubator and give proper attention
TO its management. Nearly every farm
er can make 1t pay to keep chickens
and ducks. The sale of young fowls
at two months Is highly profitable. and
large trade can be worked up In
short time.
In filling ~ Incubator care must be
taken to secure the freshest kind OF
fertile eggs, and they must not be
chilled. IL Is never good plan to
use eggs over week old. The sooner
they are placed in the incubator after
being laid the better hatch will re-
suit. The eggs that are held for many
days are apt TO become chilled in cold
weather, and the germ gradually grows
weaker with time. Eggs for incuba-
tion In cold weather should be gather
ed twice daily, especially on cold days.

TIMELY BEE WISDOM.


July is the month for gathering the
first surplus. whether it be comb or
extracted honey. 1t should be taken
from the colonies not later than the
twentieth OF the month. thus keeping
II separate from the later dark honey
from buckwheat. asters, goldenrod,
etc. The light honey is not only lighter
In color, but more delicate In Its flavor
and brings about 2 cents pound more.
In extracting make certain that about
two-thlrds Of the cells In the extracting
comb are sealed over to insure ripeness
In the honey. which not only adds to
Its flavor. but also prevents fermenta-
tion when stored for later sale.
In uncapplng the combs for extrac-
tion employ two uncapplng knives. and
while using one the other should be
Kept immersed In n pan of hot water
over an oil stove and the knives fro
quently changed. as warm knife un-
caps more readily than cold one and
the cappings do not stick to II so much.
No bee escape board is required In
taking the extracting combs from the
colonies. as II makes little difference
II the bees do uncap some cells when
smoked down from the combs, but In
the case OF comb honey the smoking
would defeat the purpose, as all un-
capped cells render the combs insight
ly and unstable ns first grade.
For this reason and the further one
of saving annoyance from the bees. the
bee escape board should be used when
taking the comb surplus from the colo

Why Cows Give More Mllk.

Cattle used TO be bred chiefly for
work, says the Farm and Fireside.
Therefore the cows did not give much
milk. Breeds improve the thing for
which they are selected
In 100 the work cows OF Germany
gave an average of pint and half
a day. Interest In milk increased, and
by 1900 the average yield was a quart
and a half, Breeding went on milk
ward, and In 1910 the German cows
averaged two quarts Of milk each per
day, In 1920 three. IN 1880 four. aud
there the gain stopped for thirty years
But in 1850 the production had increas-
ed to six quarts and by 1870 to eight.

WITH HONO.lS OF WAR.
Rights Those Conditions Confer Upon
q Defeated Foe,

Defeated Foe.
Ordinarily In all siege operations a
surrender of fortress Is uncondltion-
oil, and the vanquished tacitly agree to
accept whatever terms the victor, In
his wisdom, may impose. relying upon
the latter's magnanimity for good and
lenient treatment. The usual course is
this: The garrison is disarmed. They
are made to fall In, all so many prison
ers, and escorted to wherever their
conquerors decide they shall be de-
tained.
The conquerors, Of course. see that
the escort Is a strong guard, properly
armed, able to put down at once any
attempt on the prisoners part to es-
cape or disobey orders. Worst of all
and certainly the most CALLING to any
real soldier, the almost sacred trophies
Of the different regiments become the
spoils Of the victors.
Guns, ammunition, colors and such
like things all have to be given I'D,
though men have given their lives to
defend them. For the future they
grace the homes of the enemy or are
turned against their old owners I'm the
6eld.
1t Is In these things that the humili.
alton Of surrender becomes complete.
Yet all Of It is saved when the beaten
garrison n granted the "honors of
war;" That means the defenders were
simply defeated, but not disgraced."

heroic defense had not left them ut
