Not Much Waste in Using Guavas

There is not much waste in util-
izing guavas. In canning them
the peeling may be made into syr-
up or jelly and the pulp into qua
va butter. There are two ways
of canning guavas, according to
Extension Bulletin 3 of the State
College for Women, by Miss Ag-
mes Ellen Harris. To can in glass,
"peel and remove the seed from
guava. Pack the halves careful
ly into Jars sterilized with hot
water and cover to overlooking
with syrup made by first boiling
for 10 minutes l pint of sugar
with 2 pintS of water. Skim and
strain syrup,
"Have a pan of water near and
dip hands into it occasionally,
while packing, to remove seeds.
Seal partly, process IS minutes
for pints, and 40 minutes for
quarts, iii boiling water. Seal i'm
mediately."
To pack in tin, ''peel, cut in
halves, remove seeds and pack
carefully into tin cans. Pack cans
as firmly as possible without mash
ing or bruising fruit. Cover frlit
with syrup to within onc-folrth
inch from top of can. The syrup
is made just as It IS when glass IS
used. Cap, exhaust 5 minutes,

Cooperation is the key to the
situation-no matter what the
trouble is. 1t will market farm
products, increase production,
furnish cheaper supplies, and
build roads. There are a lot of
people who pooh-pooh the idea of
cooperation. 1t is a good thing,
they say, but you cannot get folks
to do it. Well, let them try to
get along a while without it. Peo-
pie are doing it, and within the
next generation they will do more
of it.

The Potash Question

With fertilizer kiting in price
to a point where it is nearly pro-
Ihibitive it stands the farmer in
hand to unite with his brother to
remedy the situation. Every 9th
err trade or occupation in the coun-
try is effectively organized, out
the farmer through obstinacy or
for some reason is ages behind
other men in scif-protection and
is consequently the victim of all
callings. 1t takes organization
to secure relief in the present sit
uation, but only by some accident
may relief be brought about in
this case, although the possibili-
ties are great for such result.
The United States government
has spent thousands Of dollars,
and used the most expert employ
es Of the Agricultural Depart
ment in an investigation of the
kelp beds off the Pacific coast and
now informs the people that there
is found a source of supply of
potash about eight times in guam
tity the amount demanded and
which may be furnished at a very
low figure.
Careful investigation shows
that the kclp referred to may be
prepared for market for less than
$500 per ton and each ton con-
tain IS per cent potash, 2 per
cent. nitrogen and 1 IL per cent,
phosphoric acid. With this sup
ply in sight, and if the farmers
will act unitedly, the fertilizer bill
may be cut nearly in half.
These kelp fields are not as yet
but are at the disposal
Of the government, Let the lat
ter arrange matters so that pri-
vate capital can get control and a
monopoly will be built up and
prices will be all that the traffic
will bear.
This demand for potash repre-
,ents a national necessity and
should be met by the government.
Let our farmers organizations
unite in request upon the gov
that it take over these
Iclp fields and immediately place
The prepared kelp on the market
1T a price which will permit of
meeting expenses of operation,
with small margin for conting-
encies that thousands of farmers
n the Gulf and South Atlantic
states may see daylight ahead
where now all is darkness.
A full description of these kelp
fields and methods of handling the
product may be found in Com
neree Reports for June 18th, is
sued by the Department of Com
nerce.-FellSmere Tribune.

NATURAL BORN HUNTERS.
Brazilian Natives Are Only RivaIed by
Those of Australia.


If you want to find a thoroughbred
sportsman you must look among the
natives Of the Brazilian forests. Espe-
cially among the Botocudo. to whom
tracking game is the chief business Of
his life. He does it with such skill
that he fills the white man with awe
and wonder.
However enthusiastic huntsman
you are you will feel Yourself poor
sportsman after watching him for a
little while, The Botocudo hunter
glides stealthily through the forest.
He understands every sign and habit
Of bird and beast. He knows how
high up an armadillo displaces the
leaves of a tree in passing. He can
distinguish the tracks of the snake
and the tortoise. He can follow the
tortoise to it's burrow by the scratches
Of its scaly armOr on the mud. His
sense of smell is so keen that it helps
him a great deal in hunting. Hidden
behind the trunk Of a tree he can i'm
itate the cries of birds and beasts to
bring them within range of his deadly
poisoned arrow He can even entice
the alligator by making her rough eggs
crate together where they lie under
leaves on the river bank. If he shoots
at an ape and the animal does not fall
he will climb up after the animal by a
hanging creeper where no white man
would climb However dark the for
est, he is Indifferent to this darkness.
Laden with his bag of game he finds
his way back to his hut by the sun
and the lay Of the ground.
His only rival is the Australian ma
tive. He will lie in wait behind a
screen of boughs. He waits until the
kangaroo comes to drink, or he will
track him for days in the open. He
will camp by his fire to be ready for
his pursuit at early dawn. He keeps
unseen to leeward.
When a number hunt together they
will put up brush fence in two long
wings, converging toward a pit, and so
drive the kangaroos into it. They also
form great hunting parties for bat,
tue surrounding half mile Of bush
land, and with shouts and clatter they
drive all the game to the center. where
they can close round and dispatch
them with spears and waddies. In
fowling they show the same adroit-
ness. A native will swim under wa.
ter, breathing through a reed. He
merely covers his head with water
weed till he gets among flock OF
ducks, which one by one he pulls un
der and tucks into his belt. They
rarely need to make use of dogs in
hunting, though they had learned this
way Of hunting long before the white
man knew anything about it. They
used the dingo or native dOg.-Chicago

Student a Hero.

Franklin, Ind.-Oscar Bogard of
Lyons, who is attending the summer
course at Franklin college, has become
a hero in the opinion of his friends in
rescuing a horse from death under a
train. The horse broke loose from a
hitchrack in front of the college cam
pus and ran along the railroad tracks.
The buggy was demolished and the
horse became entangled in the har-
ness and fell on the tracks. A train
was approaching at full speed when
Bogard with almost superhuman
strength dragged the horse from the
tracks only second before the engine
whizzed by.

Health pays. The recognition of this
fact by industrial corporations is one of
the most hopeful signs of the times.
When communities awaken to like
realization that safeguarding human
life and health is the wisest of business
investments, the decrease in deaths
from natural causes will doubtless be
even more surprising than that from
accidents. Bearing in mind that disease
is at the root of all social problems, the
actual saving in dollars and cents
would be beyond estimate.
