Inoculating Plants Against Frost,

DR.. Fritz Bachmann. German scien-
tist. has lately discovered that a sugar
treatment given to plants will prevent
their freezing or uffering from an ex-
cessively low temperature. A careful
analysis of the delicat looking plants
which force their way through the soil
in the early spring shows a large pro-
portion of sugar in the chemical COM
position of their cells.
An investigation of the hardy plants
indicates that the starch contained in
their leaves during the summer is
changed to sugar in early winter. usu-
ally beginning in November. Sugar is
plentifully found in the leaves Of the
coniferous trees and also in the lindens
and birches. In some leaves a consid-
cradle amount of stored-up sugar is
preserved throughout the winter In
the spring this sugar is changed back
into starch
Experiments have been made by plac-
ing cut off twigs of various plants in
a solution of sugar of various degrees
of concentration and placing others al
the same time in plain water few
days after both were exposed to tenn
peratures ranging between % degrees
and IL degrees Fahrenheit 1t has been
proven by this means that the sugar
treated twigs were capable of resisting
cold which absolutely overcame the
others.

BETTER THAN HOT VEGETABLE
Salads, Easily Made and inexpensive,
Should Have Place on Table
In Summer.

1t Is not necessary to have expen
slve asparagus tips or pimentos to
make the most delicious salad The
humble string bean, carrot, turnip
beet and lima bean offer most delight
full possibilities. Finely shredded cab
5age with lima beans and grated car
carrot is most attractive Beets and
string beans combine well, and to
those who like to make salads, even
the smallest scraps of leftover can be
utilized to advantage.
So then, in your summer cooking
substitute the salad for the hot, steam
Ing vegetable. 1t will save time and
bother because then you can boil it in
the early GOODNESS of the day, lay In
the icebox, and have all prepared for
night without needing to bother just
at supper-time. Wash and clean the
lettuce early in the day, wrap in a
bag of paper toweling or square OF
clean cheesecloth and put it in the ice.
box, and your salad is practically
done.
A summer supper in some form of
aspic, meat loaf, or even a hot meat
dish, together with vegetable salad
dressed with plenty of olive oil, fruit
and bread and butter is ideal.

OF USE TO pALRYMEN.

DR.. R. H. Williams, animal hus-
bandman of the U. OF A. agricultural
experiment station, says: "The peo-
pie are not careful enough about feed
ing their dairy COWS. They take it
Or granted that when they have
in front of the COW their duties are
| finished On the other hand, the COW
that is rightly fed is carefully stud
led with each ration. She is watched
to see if she will respond to a little
more food, or if she is getting more
than she can use. These little wastes
are what makes the profits and losses
in dairying."
Prof w. S. Cunningham, assistant
animal husbandman of the U. of A.
experiment station, says: "The flu
ture of the dairy industry in Arizo-
ma depends upon raising of the heifer
calves to maintain the dairy herds of
Arizona. Besides the maintaining of
the dairy herds to their normal size,
it is the surest and most satisfactory
way of improving their herds. 1t
should be remembered, first, that
herd improvement can come only
through the replacing of Worn-out
COWS by heifers better than the COWS
themselves. Feeding calves on skim
med milk is an art which every dairy
man should learn, and the farmer or
dairyman who has at his finger tips
the control of calf ailments, such as
scoWs, pneumonia and others, is the
man who will make success in dali
rying."
Prof G. W. Barnes, livestock spec
ialist, U. of A.. agricultural extension
service, says: ''The Importance of
community breeding cannot be over
emphasized or over developed. 1t is
much better to develop a herd of the
same breed which already has a foun-
dation in a community than it is to
try to introduce some foreign breed.
When a large number of well bred
animals Of the same breed is found
| in any one locality community or
ganization is also possible, which Gre
ates an interest in breeding and
stimulates and educates it's members
to take advantage of opportunities
which they have. In regard to breed
ing, there is a great advantage, also,
in trading bulls. 1t becomes possible
to retain the best bulls in service
and not only reduce the expense, but
to make wide use of bull that is
found to get exceptionally good
