SUPPLIES ALWAYS ON HAND
British Claim to Have Made Transport System at the Front as Perfect
 as Is Possible.

When it is mentioned that 1000 tons of goods-food and other necessities are sent every day from the base de- pots to the firing line of the British army, some idea of the gigantic task of the army service will be gathered.
 This enormous weight of goods, says Harold Begbie, comes almost entirely from England. for we are not buying in France even so perishable neces- sity as milk. Vast stores are brought from England and loaded into sheds at the base depots.
 All day by motor dory and railway truck supplies for the troops are sent out from these base depots to stores as near as possible to the firing lines. And just as reserves are accumulated in the docks, so reserves are accumu- lated near the front, since an accident to the railways might cut off the fight ing soldiers supplies.
 On one occasion there was a delay on the railways of 36 hours, but not only did the soldier at the front get all his food and ammunition, but he did not even have to draw on the re- serves I have mentioned; regimental stores were sufficient for his need Everything goes by clockwork. There is no room for an accident.-London Tit-Bits.

the South is not so desirable, because of It's color. As b,eed the Chester White is large, long in body. has a heavy bone, and is not as refined or compact as the Poland-China. In color the breed Is white; blue spots are often seen upon the skin along the back and sides. If it were not for their color, the Chester Whites would soon occupy the same position in the South as the Duroc-Jerseys. because they are good mothers, good grazers and very prolific. The quality of the meat is about like that of the Duroc- Jersey.
 The farmer who Is about to adopt a breed should be sure to select one of the standard and common breeds of his own state. Many men make the mistake of introducing breed new to the section, and when the time comes that new boar must be secured much difficulty and expense are incurred be- fore a satisfactory one can be found Therefore a breed should usually be selected which has a good representa- tion in the state in which the farmer lives.

 Frequent bathing for cleanliness is necessary. as the pores of the skin have their important office to perform in the elimination of waste When the patient has fever, frequent bath ing keeps down the temperature. Rub ping with the hand wet with good alcohol is most refreshing after a cleansing bath It eools the skin and rests the patient
 A rubber sheet or an oilcloth may be placed under the patient before bathing so that the bedding need not be dampened. Often the rubbing of the patient with a bathtowel. when the bath seems too fatiguing. will be found most helpful

New War Disease.

Physicians in Vienna recently have had their attention drawn to pc culiar new disease among soldiers. known as nyctalopia, or night blind ness. To the night blind the capacity to distinguish objects fails at twilight. and even on moonlight nights they are without the sense of sight. Sometimes men do not perceive that they are night blind until they stumble into holes or are similarly reminded of their failing. In some instances the disease became so virulent that it was regarded as an epidemic. Night blind ness comes principally to persons who are far sighted or near sighted Over taxing the strength of body and mind is believed to be the principal cause.

"NEW ONION CULTURE"
TranspIanting Process Is Modlfl-
 cation of Seeding Method.
Objects Gained Are Earlier Crop, Uni form Stand and Bulbs of More Regular Size-Bermuda Crop
 Handled in This Manner.
(By w. R. BEATTIE)


 The transplanting proeest often spoken of as the new onion culture" is merely a modification of the regu- lar seeding method. The objects gained by transplanting are an earlier crop. a uniform stand, and bulbs of more regular size. Practically the entire Bermuda crop of the southern states is handled in this manner. Where a small area is to be grown. the trans planting process is the ideal method, but for large areas and where labor is difficult to obtain, this would not be practical In the transplanting, the seedlings require rain or watering in order that they may start. and for this reason the transplanting process is practically limited to areas where some form of irrigation is available.
 The seed is sown in greenhouses, hot beds or cold frames at the rate of three and ene-half or four pounds for each acre to be planted. When the

Checking Pear Blight.

A good way to check the pear blight Is as follows: Trim off all the limbs with wilted leaves and burn them as the disease is contagious to other DOT tions of the tree Then drive hand tree. At the same time bury a peck of old iron at the roots. 1t will also help the tree by scraping off some of the old bark and rubbing soap on the trunk, especially if the bark is dry.

Stock and poultry raising and dairy ing promise to become very important and profitable industries in the old South during the next ten years. Sev- eral experiments conducted on the SO called wornout soil have shown that these branches of farming not only show nice profit from the beginning, but will also serve to restore the land to its old-time fertility by furnishing new nutriment in the shape of barn. yard manure.

KEEP RECORD OF EACH COW
Spring-BaIanee Scale and Babcock Tester Will Enable Farmer to
 Locate Star Boarders."

(By CHARLES P. UNWIN, Oklahoma
 Experiment Station1
 In all herds that have not been test ed there will be found cows that do not pay for their keeping. The farmer should get rid of the cows that are not profitable, which is not hard matter. In order to find out the best COWS, purchase a spring balance scale and small Babcock tester, either two or four bottle size. This will cost com plete about $5.
 On most farms 1t is not practical to weigh the milk every day, and impos- sible to test so often. The most con. venient method would be to weigh each cows milk for at least four days in succession every month, or. better yet, every two weeks, taking an ac- curate composite sample for the same period. Preservatives for the sample may be purchased at any creamery supply house. Corrosive sublimate tablets are most generally used. as they are in tablet form and one tab. let is added to each sample of milk. In using corrosive sublimate tablets it is necessary to be very careful. for they are poisonous and should be kept away from the children.
 By testing the samples and finding out the average amount of milk pro- duced. a fairly accurate record of each COW can be made with but little trouble. Such record not only as- sists in picking out the worthless cows, but raises the value of the best ones.
 Most dairymen have a standard of 250 pounds butterfat per year, and the COWS that do not reach that standard are doomed for the butchers block.

Add table spoonful of lemon juice and serve with plain boiled rice.

 Benares Salad.-Take two cupfuls of grated coeoanut pint of chopped apple. tablespoonful of chopped red pepper. one of green and teaspoonful of grated onion. seasoned well with salt and dash of cayenne, if the red pepper is sweet, is a very good salad.
 Cocoanut Cookies.-Take a cupful of cocoanut, cupful of entrants, two cupfuls of brown sugar. half eupful of butter, one-half cupful of lard. one cupful of raisins, teaspoonful of bak- ing soda, a half teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of flour. two we'll beaten eggs and a half cupful of warm water, a teaspoonful of vanilla. Mix all to- gether and let stand overnight. In the morning roll very thin, add more flour. if needed. but if we'll chilled they will roll and cut when very soft.
 Cocoanut added to whipped cream as a filling for cake is most delicious. Grated cocoanut sprinkled over sugared slices of oranges Is a pleasant dessert.
