NATIONAL SOUP OF FRANCE
DELICIOUS and Nourishing Is That Prep
aration Known to World as
Pot-au-Feu.

Pot-au-feu, which may be called the
national French soup, is a delicious.
nourishing soup. 1t should be made
In covered earthenware pot.
Take three pounds of round of beef,
large marrow bone, six carrots. two
or three turnips, two leeks, bunch Of
parsley. several cloves, a bay leaf.
and one lump of sugar. Put the beef
into the pot and cover 1t with as many
quarts of water as there are pounds of
beef, add little salt and let it boil up,
then skim carefully and add little
cold water. Let it boil again, skim
and then add the vegetables. Cover
with the lid, allowing a little air to
get In, and let cook over a good fire
constantly at boiling point for several
hours. When cooked. remove the meat
and vegetables. skim the liquor. and
serve in tureen with slices of bread.
The vegetables may be served sepa-
rately, and the meat which has been
cooked in the pot may be used in
many ways; stewed, cooked au gratin,
1t is especially delicious served with a
thick tomato sauce.

wise many hens remain on the nest
and brood the chickens for at least
twenty-four hours after the Matching
is over. Chickens Matched during the
winter should be brooded in poultry
house or shed, while the outside wealth
er conditions are unfavorable; after
the weather becomes settled, they
should be reared in brood coops out
of doors. Brood coops should be made
SO that they can be closed at night
to keep out cats, rats, and other ami
mails, and enough ventilation should
be allow ed so that the hen and chicks
will have plenty of fresh air. Hens
will successfully brood ten to fifteen
chickens in the early breeding sea-
son, and eighteen to twenty-five in
warm weather, depending upon the
size Of the hen.
The hen should be confined in the
coop until the chicks are weaned,
while the chickens are allowed free
range after they are a few days old.
When hens are allowed free range
and have to forage for feed for them
selves and chicks they often take
them through wet grass, where the
chicks may become chilled and die.
Then, too, in most broods there are
one or two chicks that are weaker
than the others, and If the hen is al
lowed free range the weaker ones
often get behind and out of hearing
of the mothers cluck and call. In
most cases this results in the loss and
death Of these chicks, due to becom-
ing chilled. The loss in young chicks
due to allowing the hen free range is
undoubtedly large.
Chickens frequently have to be
caught and put into their coops dur
ing sudden storms, as they are apt
to huddle in some hole or corner
where they get chilled or drowned.
They must be kept growing constant
ly if the best results are to be OBJ
tanned, as they never entirely recov-
er from checks in their growth even
for a short period. Hens should be
left with the chicks as long as they
will brood them.

injections OF parathyroid gland ex.
tracts cause the tetany to disappear
without, however, protecting the ami.
NAL from fatal outcome. But in 1905
Macallum and Voegtlin reported that
injection or ingestion of calcium salts
completely and instantly checks the
symptoms of tetany arising from the
removal of the parathyroids aid re-
stores the animal to an apparently
normal condition. Similar results have
been obtained upon human beings suf-
fering from tetany as the result of
uDintentional removal of the parathy-
roids.
Obviously, then. wherever there is
evidence of muscular tremor or witch
ing, 1t is reasonable to suspect some
disturbance in parathyroid function.
This points strongly toward a mineral
deficiency, a calcium starvation, and
TO the fact that there is undoubtedly
some close relationship between the
widespread use of demineralized food
stuffs and the large number of care
worn, irritable and muscle twitching

about us. The prevention is the use
from infancy upward of natural I'M

When it is noted that hen sits

The powder should also be sprinkled

OF these the most important is her

ing or for omelets. and the fertile
eggs should be put back under the
hen. In this way it is often possible
to put all the eggs that three hens
originally started to sit on under two
hens and reset the other hen again. A
good homemade egg tester or GAMBLER
can be made from a large shoe box
or any box that is large enough to go
over lamp by removing an end and
cutting a hole little larger than the
size of quarter in the bottom of the
box, so that when it is set over a
common kerosene lamp the hole in
the bottom will be opposite the blaze.
A hole the size of a silver dollar
should be cut in the top of the box to
allow the heat to escape. An infertile
egg. when held before the small hole
with a lamp lighted inside the box,
will look perfectly clear, the same
as a fresh one, while the fertile egg
will show a small dark spot, known as
the embryo, with a mass of little blood
veins extending in all directions If the
embryo is living. The testing should
be done in a dark room

TIME TO INVEST IN MULES
War is Having az Great Influence on
Industry as on Market for
Meat Animals.

To the man who has feed, but who
hesitates to invest in cattle or sheep,
either because Of the high initial cost
or the uncertain prospects at selling
time, may occur the idea of feeding
young horses or mules. The war is
having fully as great an influence on
the horse and mule business as on
the market for meat animals.
Seemingly, therefore, the present
time is most propitious for buying
young mules. They may be bought
s25 to $35 lower than usual, and when
they are three or four years old there
is every reason 20 believe they can
be sold for $25 10 $50 a head more
than in an ordinary year heretofore.
Growing mules will have a greater
value than usual during the next two
or three years, in case owners want
to borrow money on them.
In buying mule colts, it is advis.
able to buy females. The cotton trade
pays SIS to $25 head more for mare
mules than for males, because they
are better shaped and look more trim.
Mare mule colts will cost S. or SO a
head more than males. Railroad con-
tractors and mine workers prefer
male mules because they can stand
more work, but the cotton trade pref
erence for females overbalances this
demand to the extent indicated.
Kansas and Missouri are the great.
est surplus mule states. At the pres
ent time it is possible to buy any
reasonable number of weaving mule
colts within radius of 100 miles, or
less, of Kansas City, in a compare
lively short time. Missouri posses
ses about $4,000 mules, Kansas some
thing less than 100000. Each of the
cotton growing states has between
2oo,0O0 and 100000 mules, Texas more |
than 100000. but they raise compare
lively few mules.
