pear, until the map of Europe looks
like western landscape after a cy-
clone, but people must have milk, but
ter and cheese and the price gets a
little better every year. No dairyman
need worry about the result of the
election for Republicans, Democrats
and Socialists alike need the products
of the dairy or they will not feel that
they are getting what is coming to
them.
The money from the dairy comes
weekly, or at longest, monthly, and IL
is cash deal all the time. The prices
vary with the season little but they
run In lines that take the same up
and down curves year after year.
Many dairymen are trying to find
the method which Will allow them
to keep the largest number of cows
on n given acreage. A much better
object would be sought II they were
to try to secure the largest possible
number of cows which win produce
pound of butter every day for ten
months of every year of their activi-
ties.
Farm dairying isn't the poorest
business in the world by good many
long marks, but American farmers
show disposition to let the foreign
emigrant take the business and make
the money, which shows that Ameri-
can farmers are not always awake to
the most profitable part of farming.
Money every week and the farm
getting richer every year ought to be
an attractive proposition. We ought
to have more farm dairies and fewer
worn-out farms.
The dairyman who does not set
high mark, and test his cows regu-
larry and Systematically, will always
carry in the herd some cows which are
kept at loss, to reduce the average
of the herd

Place one can of condensed milk In

promptly and thoroughly chill by plac-
Ing the can on ice. When cool, open
the can and pour the milk, the entire
contents of small can or half the con-

placed in another bowl filed with
cracked ice. After the milk has be-
come thoroughly chilled whip in the
regular way with an ordinary egg beat
er for five minutes. Sweeten and fla
vor If desired. Keep 1t on ice until
served. Condensed milk will whip
without heating, but there are better
results when following the above di
rections.

(By M. PURVIS)
Dairying is u combining business to
be sure. 1t requires daily attention
and the work must be done with reg
ularity, each duty requiring attention
at practically the same hour, week
after week, rain or shine, Sunday,
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving.
1t Is this everlasting routine that
prevents great many from taking up
dairying as regular part of the farm
work. 1t is the American distaste for
being bound down and hedged In that
keeps the dairy part of our farm work
very much in the background.
Notwithstanding this undesirable
phase of dairying, it has some advan-
tages which producing grain, hay or
live stock for market have not.
1t is business on which the opera
tor is able to count without much
danger of having his plans miscarry
on account of wet OF dry weather,
early or late frosts, or any other of the
things which SO often mar the pro-
jects of the most careful husbandman.
With a little forethought the dairy
man may be as free from worry about
the weather as any other man living
Blow high or blow low the cows come
home and the consuming public is
ready to take all the butter that is
produced, or the creamery or cheese
factory is waiting to weigh in the milk
and distribute checks every month.
This is another advantage. The live
stock breeder must wait two, three or
five years for his cattle to get in
shape for market, the swine breeder
gets mis- money only once year and
the sheepman is likely to have his
profits knocked away by tariff agita-
ton on big crop of wool in Australia,

tory wealthy"

new ENVOY TO TURKEY

Keeping up the custom of sending
public-spirited, broad-minded, phil
anthropic Jew to represent the United
States in Turkey, the president has ap-
pointed Abram /. Elkus, well-known
New York lawyer. as ambassador to
succeed Henry Morgenthau, who made
distinguished record for himself and
his country during trying times at Con-
stantinople.
Mr. EllSus, who has high reputa-
ton as lawyer, is senior member Of
the firm of Elkus, Gleason & Pros
kauer, and is known especially for his
work as counsel for the state factory
investigating commission, a position
which he held from 1911 till 1915. He
has drafted some 80 bills, all of which
were enacted into law, mitigating the
evils of child labor, especially In
canneries and tenement houses and
prohibiting undue work and night work
for women.

also know that often the delicate fla
vor has been washed out by rain.
Fruit for Jelly may be cooked and
allowed to drip overnight, then early
the next day the jelly may be made.
The best fruit for jelly-making is
little underripe as the fruit then
contains the element (pectin) which
thickens the jelly; after fruit Is ripe
this element usually disappears. Even
when it Is present as 1t is in some
ripe fruits the jelly is more apt to be
cloudy as the fruit cooks to pieces.
Apple Is a splendid base to use for
jelly combinations as 1t Is so rich
in pectin that when combined with
fruit which possesses little, like
peaches OF strawberries, 1t makes a
good jelly.
Water is not needed In jelly-making
unless the fruits lack juice, then just
as little as possible is added.
Jelly should be true to flavor, firm
enough to keep Its shape when turned
from the glass and when cut should
make sharp angles, clear and good
color.
One of the great mistakes many
busy Housewives make is trying to
boil too much jelly at once. Make
no more than four or five glasses at
each boiling. The advantage is two
fold, better results and If by misman-
agement 1t is overlooked you haven't
spoiled all your jelly.
When fruit lacks pectin a piece of
the skin of an orange boiled with 1t
will supply the lack, the peeling of
a quarter of an orange will be suffi-
cient for one recipe of jelly. The
white part of the peeling is the part
to be used.

COSBY TESTS POISON GASES

Col. Spencer Cosby, United States
military attache at Paris, has been
speaking in hoarse whisper of late,
and his friends are congratuiating him
on losing nothing more than his voice.
When the German army began the
use of poison gases, Colonel Cosby
shared the keen interest of his brother
military Investigators in the new ele-
ment of warfare, and determined to
test the gases on himself. He was
given the opportunity by the French
army chemists, who had samples of the
three kinds used, direct from the front.
The two less deadly varieties were
tried, and Colonel Cosby found them
not especially overpowering.
They had now reached the deadly
gas which clutches and kills. The
chemist paused.
"You viii not try this" he said,
appealingly.
Eyes, all of them" said the colonel
positively.
