is THE COUNTY
AGENT MAKING GOOD?

The Farmers Union, it is crafty
ing to observe, looks at the work of
county agents and farm bureaus in
much the same way as those who
have this work in charge. No bet
ter statementof the qualifications of
agents and the administration if he
work as conducted in Kansas could
be given than the following reso-
luton passed at the national conven-
ton of the Farmers Educational
Union at Lincoln, Neb.
eve welcome the farm bureau or
demonstration agent sent to US by
the United States government. We
need the assistance of this scientific
knowledge. But we feel that to be
of most help to the farmers he
should combine both the scientific
and practical side of agriculture
that is, after taking the college
course he should make good on the
farm by applying to it his scientific
knowledge before going out as a
teacher of agriculture or farm ad-
wiser.
eve further recommend that the
question of demonstration agents or
farm advisers be left to the farmers
of each state or county. We further
recommend that the farmers of each
county shall have the power to select
the agent for their county"

Churning should cease when the
granules of butter are about the size
of large wheat grains. The butter milk
and wash water can be drained out
and the salt mixed uniformly through
out the butter. This is a very i'm
portant step in making good butter.
If the butter is gathered in a large
mass it is almost impossible to re-
move the buttermilk and wash water
from the butter, and to mix the salt
with 1t evenly.
Draw off the buttermilk, straining 1t
through coarse strainer to catch any
particles of butter that might escape
and add as much water to the churn as
there was cream, and Of about the
same temperature. Revolve the churn
not more than fifteen or twenty revo
lutions and allow the water to drain
out thoroughly.
Then salt and work the butter and
put it In neat packages, if 1t is to go
on the market.

AS TO USE OF SECOND
GROWTH SUDAN GRASS
One Instance of Poisoning, But Not in
the South-WelI to Be Careful,
However.

Second-growth Sudan grass has been
fed as pasture to both cattle and hogs
in Texas. The results were highly
gratifying. But there are some places
where it is feared cattle are poisoned
when pasturing on Sudan grass. An
instance has come to the attention of
the officials of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture from the state
of Washington. A man turned two
mich cows in on some second-grOwth
Sudan grass. In five or ten minutes
after the cattle entered the field the
owner found one of the cows dead.
The other was quite sick, but recover
ed later.

negro said all of the prisoners had

STORED TO HEALTH, TENDS
HIS GARDEN AFTER DAYS
WORK is DONE.

From one for whom life had been
burden, being unable to go about
his daily work and earn support for
his wife and children, to a man
strongand ready to do not only his
daily employment, but so full of life
as to be not only able, but eager to
make garden and do chores about the
house was the experience of Mr.. W.
W. Snyder, of West Lonsdale, with
Tanlac.
Il had about given up hope of ever
seeing another we'll day." said Mr..
Snyder, is his testimonial of the cure
that Tanlac worked for him, "and
feared that l would never again en-
JOY health and strength so that l
could go about my work and support
my family.
II was in a general rundown con-
dition," he continued, land had lost
so much strength and weight that
had about given up all hope. My
appetite had failed so that l could
scarcely eat anything at all, and l
was also terribly constipated. Rev.
W. T. Roby, my pastor, told me how
much Tanlac had helped him and
tried to get me to get bottle and
give it a trial. But l had taken so
much medicine that had been pre-
scribed for me without giving me
any relief that was skeptical about
it doing me any good.
FINALLY, because my wife insisted
so that l give Tanlac trial, l went
into the city and bought a bottle. l
had hardly taken more than a few
doses until l began to feel better,
and in a short while, l hardly knew
myself, l felt so entirely like another
man. hardly know how to express
the joy that I and my wife feel over
my return to health.
Before l began taking Tanlac, l
was weak and hardly able to drag
around. After l had taken a few
bottles, l had grown strong. slept
we'll once more, and my appetite had
so improved that l could eat almost
anything put before me. | went
about my work like a new man. l

ton to health, l would not only go
about my daily work, but would re-
turn from it and make garden. l

ded to my life. am no longer
troubled with constipation, and do
not have that sluggish feeling any
more.

what a wonderful tonic it is"

To accommodate 100 hens the house
should be 16 feet wide and 20 feet
long.
For the sheeting, it will pay to use
cheap dry, mill-run, pine lumber. Pine
will not warp as badly as some Of the
other numbers. The roof should be
covered with a good 3-ply paper and
be tarred and covered with sand every
two or three years.

about the danger from poisoning,
stated that analysis of Sudan grass
showed some prussic acid present.
'I feel that there is perhaps less
danger" he continued, gin pasturing
sorghum and Sudan grass in the south
ern states than in those farther north.
My own feeling is that it can be pas
tured with little danger, provided the
growth has been normal. 1t is well
to advise care in pasturing the grass"

wear enough clothing to conceal
themselves, as Mayor Beall has given
orders to policemen to arrest women
who appear in public in transparent
gowns.
The mayor encountered a young
woman on the street whose outlines
were so entirely visible that he con-
cluded to begin dress reform. The
young woman was told to go home
and put something on.

WHY NOT EAT INSECTS?

There is certainly one excellent
reason why we should eat insects
and that is self-defense. 1t is simply
a question of "Do it first" for if we
don't eat or otherwise exterminate
them they will do their best to eat us.
From the equator to the Attic circle
the battle is on between bugs and
bipeds, men and mosquitoes, humans
and insects, and there is said to be
grave doubt of the final issue in the
massive minds of morphologists,
which think in terms of continents
and cons, whether this present geo.
logic period will in future be known
as the age of man or the age of in
sects, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
However, we are holding our own
so far and perhaps a little better, for
there doesn't seem to be any more
insects than formerly, and there GER
tainly are more humans-or were
until the present war broke out. But
what with hookworms within and cut
worms without, and grasshoppers and
army worms, and boil weevil on the
cotton and browntails on the shade
trees, and worms in the apples and
weevils inthe wheat, and mosquitoes
with their malaria and yellow fever,
and the louise with his typhoid, to say
nothing of bees in our bonnets and
the coleoptera that drive US bughouse
"life is simply lodging one id bug
after another"
So that if we have to kill them any
way, there would be sense of salts
faction and neatness, not to say
economy and consuming our own
smoke, in being able to use them for
food afterward. But we don't, and
why don't we?
Dr. Howard, the distinguish he'd head
of the United States bureau of ento-
mology at Washington, has recently
raised the question in practical form,
He dug up and collected pint or so
of fat, juicy white worms" the
grubs or larvae of the cicada or
seventeen-year locust, sent them with
his compliments to the chief cook of
the bureau of home economics, who
has steady nerves and none of the
temperament which marks the born
chief, and has become accustomed to
having experiments sprung on him.
This shock-proof expert waved his
magic culinary wand over the grubs
and transformed them into rich and
appetizing bisque, or PURGE, which
was returned to DR.. Howard, who
summoning up his biologic courage
drank cupful of the soup pronounc-
ed it excellent, tried it on one of his
most C,cile assistants, and both sur
vived.
There is, of course, no reason
whatever why we should not eat in
sects if they are wholesome, nutri-
tious and available in sufficient
amounts at reasonable price. The
only obstacle in the way is our in
herited traditions and antipathies.
DR.. Howard has performed a real
service in starting to test out the
question again upon purely ration
al and scientific basis, and it is GER
tainly we'll worth while giving fair
and impartial trial by economists,
dieticians and cooks to every form of
insect life which is claimed to be
nutritious and can be secured at low
price in sufficient amounts.

THE SILO PAID THE BILLS

(By c. E. Alfred, Division of Exten-

In making a study Of the silo situa-
ton in Barron county, Wisconsin,
over a period covering four years, it
was found that out of the 104 farms
studied, Is had no silos and made a
proft-of 1855 per year, while SO farms
had silos and made a profit of $746
per year.

HOW TO MAKE BUTTER

A Good Product Requires Close Atten-

(By G. A. Hutton, Division of Exten-

sion, University OF Tennessee.)
The ordinary barrel churn is un-
questionably the best churn on the
market. There are no inside fixtures
to clean, flies can not get in, and it
will churn as quickly and efficiently
as any churn on the market. To get
best results, it should not be filled
more than one-third full Beware Of
the so-called "two-minute" churn. The
cream should be strained into the
churn through a coarse strainer to re-
move any particles of curd. Add a
small amount of butter coloring to
give the butter a uniform color
throughout the year.

Governor to Aid Guardsmen.

The upheaval among guardsmen over
the enlistment clause which demands
three years of reserve duty has
reached Gov. E. l.. Philip, who will
ask Wisconsin congressman TO intro
duce and support a bin to relieve the
men from the three-year reserve serv-
ice provision.
Wisconsin Is not the only state in
which objection is being raised to the
form of oath submitted by the federal
government.
The oath alters the conditions of
previous enlistment contracts by pro-
viding that all troops shall remain
three years in the service.
sAdjt. Gen. Orlando Holway in an in
terview with Governor Phillip pointed
out that many of the guardsmen who
signed the oath probably did not fully
understand the agreement into which
they were entering. Because of this
understanding General HOlway be-
lieves that some step should be taker,
to relieve the men from the reserve
clause. Governor Philip holds the
same view. Judging from the feeling
that has developed in other states over
the matter, the corrective measure sug-
gested by Governor Philip will have
widespread backing.
Wisconsin will take the initiative in
the movement to release guardsmen
from the three-year reserve provision
and the governor feels certain that
congress viii give the subject fair hear
ing.
