FOOD WORTH MUCH STUDY
No Other Problem Can More WorthIly
Engage the Attention Of the Moth
err on the Farm.

What could be a womans problem
on the farm that was not a woman'0
eternal problem everywhere and any
where? Home economics or the Sc
lection, use and preparation Of food,
clothing, shelter and household man
agement, and how can this problem,
or any other problem, for that matter,
be solved except through study or ed
ucation? And yet so little has been
thought of the home problems that
more money is spent year by year for
teaching the men how TO fatten steer
or pig than to teach a mother how to
care for her babe OF feed her superior
animals-the men of the family, writes
NJ. e. Barrett Of the Texas experiment
station. Visit any farm you please
and you will be shown the fine pigs
and calves, goats or sheep, but never
a word of the baby or its nursery.
I've even seen kindergartens for colts
to train them in their stunts, but
never a home garten for the children.
believe you will all agree with me
that food is the first problem. To
load your table down with vege-
tables and meats is not treating your
child as your husband treats his pig
baby. He is carefully balancing the
rations for the pig for growth, and
that of the horse for energy, and that
of the COW for milk. Neither is he
working all day long on the three
meals a day for his animal family.
Now here is where education comes in
again, to cut down the work of those
three meals in quantity and make it
count in quality, to take less time and
more thought. Try a fireless cooker.
Get bulletin on balanced rations and
menus from the university. Then, in
the cool of the afternoon, prepare your
vegetables and meats for next day; at
breakfast bring them to boil and put
in the hot rock and close up the din
ner. This will save you from one to
two hours on dinner which can be
spent in further study on the subject
of food values.

Picked APPLES FOR WINTER
DeIicacy That viii Be Appreciated In
Cold Weather When Most Fruits
Are Scarce.

Peel, core and quarter some sharp
apples, throwing them into brine
made by boiling six ounces Of salt for
one minute in quart of water, flavor
being improved by few slices of mild
onion, and color by fresh vine or fg
leaves. Leave then closely covered
for "a hours, then, having drained and
carefully wiped the fruit and put it
into an unglazed stoneware jar, pour
over it a pickle composed of vinegar
brought nearly to the boil, with some
allspice, black pepper and either
horse-radish or whole ginger, or both,
in the proportion Of one ounce each to
the quart, the addition of half a dozen
cloves, couple of bay leaves. blade
Of mace And two or three shallots or
a little garlic II liked.
Stand, covered first, with vine or
fig leaves, then with a plate, for "a
hours in a corner by the fire, drain
off the liquor, reheat it, pour again
over the fruit, screened with fresh
leaves, and tie down. lss.sssss.szs

Life in the Soil.

Professor Bottomley, who has dis.
covered that ordinary peat treated
with bacteria forms a substitute for
manure which is so times more valu.
able, has shown that soil lives just as
do the plants that are born out of it.
There are 100000 bacteria in every
grain of fertile soil, and by separating
the good from the bad, modern science
is working to secure the very highest
results intended by bountiful nature.

business woman. Both are making
good. And they owe much to the Y.
w. C. A., for without its friendly in
fluence their first year in Pensacola
might have been very different, indeed,
from what it proved to be-a splendid
time Of preparation for the part they
were to take in the business activity
Of the city.
At the Y. w. C. A. they found that
firendliness which every girls heart
cries out for, and that safeguard that
every girl needs-and especially the
girl who is working on the pitiful,
meagre wage of four dollars and a
half week.
These two girls are not unusual
types. They now have a home of
their own, for the mother and an
other sister have joined them here,
and the third sister, too, has found
work to do, and all are surrounded by
the atmosphere of happy home.
They owe much to the Y. w. @. A..
and the Y. w. G. A. owes much to
them and girls like them. It is such
young women as these who have
created the need for the Y. w. g. A.
Splendid young women who have the
world to fight, and are doing battle
bravely, but who need-who must
have a friendly hand.
The campaign for the Y. w. c. A.
will decide whether or not the need
may be met, whether or not the peo-
pie of Pensacola think the work of
creating home for these girls is
worth the while.
