MISTAKE TO CHANGE BREEDS
start With the Kind Liked Best and
stick TO it-cuil Poor Specimens
and Buy Better Ones.

To change breeds every now AMI
then is poor practice. Ono should be
very careful before the particular
breed is chosen. To use a Holstein
sire one year in order to obtain q
large flow OF milk. a Guernsey sire an
other year to secure richness of milk.
and Shorthorn sire the next time,
is the wrong principle to employ In
the breeding and raising OF good cows.
Undoubtedly some good cows will
be obtained in the herd from sucL

INFLUENCE COLOR OF BUTTER
Markets Demand Yellow Tint Which
Is Supplied by Use Of Dyes or
Character Of Cows Feed.

Although II is fact that some dairy
breeds give yellower milk than others.
even though It may be no richer In
fat, the thing OF greatest influence in
color is the kind OF feed the cows
are getting. Market demands call for
yellow butter. which is supplied In
the creamery by the use OF certain
harmless vegetable dyes. the use of
which dairy laws rightly permit.
The color also can be fed into the
milk and make the use OF dyes un-
necessary. Carrots, for example, color
milk and cream quickly. One OF the
natural coloring materials In milk and
butter is called carotin, from carrots.
and this material is found In many
food materials. II is plentiful in fresh

market demands yellow butter all
the year round and the color must

PROBLEM OF JELLY MAKING
Something Which Interests Every
Housewife and Yet Seems Not TO
Be Perfectly Understood.

Although there are many house
wives who can make the finest kind OF
jellies It is probably true that the
majority cannot tell just why Jelly
"jclls."
Jelly-making as practiced In the
home is an art founded upon scientific
principles and consists in so control
ling conditions with sugar and boiling
that the whole mixture sets.
Jelly "jells" because Of the presence
Of a substance called pectin. which
may not be present in the fruit juice
but becomes present after boiling.
These pectin bodies can utilize just
so much sugar and II 1t is increased

ing will produce only gummy mass
The correct amount OF Juice to sugar
varies from %:i to III by volume.
Currants and partially ripened grapes

pies and cranberries should have y /.
Those juices which require the most
sugar need to be boiled only from
eight TO ten minutes, the others from
twenty to thirty minutes.
The much reported statement that
Jelly cannot be made from beet

sugar" and "cane.sugar" often come
from the same bin, the coarse crys'
tails being labeled the former and the
fine crystals the latter.

RAISING HORSES FOR PROFIT
Every Available Sound Mare Should
Be Bred to Meet the Demand
Caused by European War.

Ever since the first days OF bicycles
some have thought that the breeding
OF horses would become Improbable.
Meanwhile the horse has kept its place
among domestic animals and we now
have more than ever before. With
the European war on us and so many
horses being killed in battle the near
future probably will see a greater
demand for horses than at any time
in the last century.
It is not advisable to breed mare
having serious defects, but every
sound mare available should be bred
to a stallion to produce stock to sup
ply the coming demand. Don't think

(By MRS. DE LAUNEY MEERSCH)
After about three years of perse.
verance and hard work, remunerated
with good profits from chicken eggs,
as my husband is a great breeder of
fine cattle, and our well cultivated
grounds having a large portion of
well-kept meadows for his cattle to
roam on, and finding that around us
was a great demand for ducks eggs

poses, appropriated part of a

have against ducks is dying out and

Two years ago a farmer who had
two mares Of equal value bred one to
a low-grade horse, the other to a
good one. The colts had the same
treatment in every respect. At wean-
ing time he refused 500 for the bet

$50 for the other. This demonstrates
the benefit of breeding from the best.

AVOID DISEASE IN POULTRY
Practical Methods for Prevention and
Treatment Given by Agricultural
Department Expert.

Dr. George Byron Morse, United
States department Of agriculture, has
given practical methods for the pre-
vention and treatment OF disease In
poultry that can be conveniently fol-
lowed on most farms. We summarize
them here:
l. Clean out by giving EPSON salts.
2. Clean up by spreading powdered
air-slacked lime.
3. Clean the water supply by add
ing permanganate OF potash.
4. Clean the food by preventing
contamination or heating.
3. Clean the eggs by dipping in
grain alcohol
6. Clean incubators and brooders
by scrubbing with hot water and soap.
z. Clean the breeding by using
young females.

Clean Eaas.

The poultry man finds at times that
he cannot wash every stain from his
basket OF eggs with water but by rub
bing the stains with homemade cider
vinegar every trace OF the blemish will
be removed and leave the egg clean
and shining. He should always be
careful that his eggs are clean when
he takes them to market. II he does
not receive higher price for clean
eggs than for dirty ones, he certainly
ought to.
