FALL RALLIES
AND EXHIBITS
Business Men interested In the Girls
Canning Club Work-Good
Record Made.

(By Margaret A. Ambrose, Division Of
Extension, University of Tennessee)
If the Girls Canning Club work fails
to arouse the interest Of the business
men up to the time of the fall rallies
and exhibits, they seldom fail at that
time. Beautifully packed glass jars Of
practically every product of the coun-
ty and tomatoes, peaches, beans and
other products, canned in tin, always
prove eye openers to the business peo-
pie who think.
In Tennessee this year, as in former
ones, these business men have indi-
Gated in substantial way their inter-
est in this side of the girls work. They
have been liberal with their prizes.
One merchant at the county seat in
one of the organized counties told the
writer that giving prizes to the girls
was the cheapest kind of advertising
that he could do. The large amount of
trading done in his store the day OF
the rally had paid him many times
over.
In Sewer county, the Bank Of Sewer
Vile had offered prizes for the best
stories of How l Made My Crop" and
"How My Crop Was Marketed and is
going to reproduce 1,400 copies and cir
eulate them. This bank also gave a
prize of S. to the two leading girls,
and paid 81 piece for the six best
jars of canned goods, which will be
kept on exhibit in the bank window.

INCUBATION OF ALFALFA
(By J. G. McAmis, Division OF Exten
sion. University of Tennessee)

incubation catches" much more
easily upon the roots of young alfalfa
plants than upon old ones. With age
they seem to develop resisting power
toward the tiny germ. At any rate,
it is very difficult to inoculate old
alfalfa. 1t is doubtful If it can become
completely infected if the germ is ab-
sent at the time of termination.
The practical application of the fact
simply means that greater care should
be taken to supply inoculating material
in the early stages of growth, and to
supply it generously. Instead OF 200
pounds of infected dirt, it would al
WAYS be safer to use 800 or even 400
pounds. More would not hurt, where
it can be easily obtained, as is often
the case. "Dirt is cheap" and inocu'
lation essential.

few items may help the small poulter-
er to make success OF his period OF
incubation First comes the study OF
the egg II must be fertile and should
be known to be this or much good
time will be lost. Fertility comes
from the male bird, the condition OF

and the condition of the hen herself
largely determines the hatch. Back OF
the egg is the hen. She must be well
fed, or, rather, properly fed. or she
cannot produce an egg capable Of car
rying the germ to a successful hatch
Hens that are kept in too close quar-
ters or in unhealthy quarters are not
apt to lay eggs that win bring forth
strong and healthy chicks. Hens
that are troubled with lice are in nc
condition to produce good eggs. In
word, hens for producing eggs that
are quite sure TO hatcl must have
fresh air, cleanliness, exercise and an
assorted and balanced ration. ANY
exclusive feed, constantly given. will
pail upon the hen and influence the
egg for evil. Meats, clovers. green
food OF any wholesome kind are good
with grain and soft foods. Fowls
with free outdoor exercise are more
apt to lay fertile eggs than hens that
are kept confined.

ECONOMY IN BOILED BEEF
Many and Variable Ways by Which
the Meat May Be Used to the
Best Advantage.

Since soup bones now cost twenty
cents where they used to cost five
cents. Il is more economical of time
and fuel to buy a good boiling piece
of beef than the shank. OF the sew
eral cuts that nearest the shank
namely, the heel of the rounds a
good one to get. Every scrap OF the
meat is usable either when hot or
when warmed up in sauces, nice
curry sauce perhaps, or one made
by cooking a number Of vegetables In
the same stock. The stock ,or bouil-
Ion is not only used for soup but for
vegetable dishes nowadays; even bouil-
lon potatoes are popular-that is, po-
tatoes boiled in bouillon.
Buy two pounds and a half Of the
heel of the round OF beef. This will
make three quarts OF medium strong
soup stock or bouillon. The cooked
meat itself is what the French call
"bouilli" The brisket Is a favorite
piece for this boiling with them.
Wash the meat quickly, and II It is to
be sliced when cold tie 1t up compact
ly Cover with the amount Of cold
water necessary. Three quarts may
be used for a medium stock, but three
pints will make very strong stock
for gravies. Bring slowly to a boil
and add enough salt to bring the scum
to the surface quickly. For three
quarts of liquid an even tablespoonful
OF salt will not be tco much. This
may be simmered over the simmering
burner, or heat one stone Of fireless
cooker to the point where the already
boiling meat will continue to boil
when set on It; put in a cooker, set
covered vessel containing the meat on
It, and leave on for five or six hours.

FACTS
DEVELOPMENT OF THE UDDER
Great Deal Can Be Done to Correct
Faulty Udder by Method Of MIX

When II comes 10 the show ring a
great deal depends upon the sym
metry Of the udder and its general
also o COW with well-balanced adder
is better liked than one with au udder
large behind and small in front. With
a fault like this a great deal can often
be done by the method of milking.
The quickest and best way TO de-
velop the fore part of the uddet seems
10 be by keeping on milking the two
front teats longer than the hind teats
when the COW Is being dried. The de-
velopment OF quarter largely de-
pends upon the amount II is used. ana
when the hind teats are not used, the
rear part OF the udder naturally
shrtnks in size, while the front quar-
ters. being used. retain their size and
a better balance is made between
front and rear. This is done very
naturally az the end OF the lactation
period and by milking two weeks
longer in front than behind quite a
change can be made in the shape oi
the udder when the COW freshens
again.
In ordinary times the fore part OF
the udder can be developed somewhat
by milking the front teats out about
half, then milking out the hind teats
entirely and returning to the front
teats again TO finish milking. but the
most effective method for developing
the front OF the udder to give II q
better balance with the hind part is
TO keep milking the front teats abou,
ten days or two weeks after stopping
milking the rear teats.

: The farmer, in making a start In
pure-jred fowls, II he buys from large
poultry farms, should get what is
called utility stock, instead of the
fancy birds which are raised for show
purposes.
The utility stock is Just as well

fault possibly in the color of feather
which disqualifies them for show pur.
poses.
II need not be expensive to make the
change from a flock of mongrels to
pure-bred stock. BY looking for the

While perhaps these old hens are

Then buy somewhere good rooster

Another way to get a start with
