VALUE or BEET PULP RATION
Results Given Of Five Weeks Test
Made at Massachusetts Station
Gain Made in Weight.

In test for five weeks conducted
by the Massachusetts station, six cows
were fed by the reversal method on
a ration of hay, bran and cottonseed
meal to which was added 4.3 pounds
of either cornmeal or of beet pulp
daily. The herd lost in live weight 33
pounds on the cornmeal ration and
gained 81 pounds on the beet pulp ra-
ton.
There was no substantial variation
in the yield or average composition of
the milk. 1t required for the cornmeal
ration 112 pounds of dry matter to pro-
duce 100 pounds of milk and 20.51
pounds to produce one pound of
milk fat, for the beet pulp ration
110.72 pounds and 50.54 pounds respec-
lively. In similar experiment to the
above, molasses, beet pulp and corn
meal were compared.
The amounts of digestible nutrients
in each ration were approximately the
same. The herd gains were similar.
There was no wide variation in milk
yields and only a slight advantage in
the production of milk-fat with the
corn meal ration.
1t required for the corn meal ra-
ton 1914 pounds of milk, and 1872
pounds to produce one pound of fat;
for the molasses beet pulp ration
1881 and 1887 pounds, respectively.

GET BEST PRICE FOR BUTTER
important to Have Flavor Pleasing to
Senses Of Smell and Taste--Put
in Neat Package.

In order to secure the best price for
butter it must have flavor which is
so pleasant to the sense of smell and
so sweet to the taste that it viii Gre

grain and closeness should be waxy
and firm, and not salyy. greasy or
crumbly. 1t should be close in body,
not spongy, and contain not too much.
nor too little. moisture.
The color should be uniform and ac-
cording to the requirements of the
market. Sailing according TO the de-
mand of the>market for which the but
ter is intended is an important fea-
ture Too much salt destroys the
sweet taste, and too little salt makes
the butter insipid and tasteless.
The package in which the butter is
marketed demands careful considera-
ton. The appearance of the package
when the butter goes to market is one
of the things that helps to sell that
butter. The package ought to be neat,
clean and attractive The one-pound
brick print is the style most used and
is superior to the plan of putting the
butter up in rolls or otherwise, for
it can be handled at less cost and with
less waste.
The butter, of course, should be
wrapped in parchment or butter pa
per, which should be of good quality,
of proper size and dipped in cold wa
ter before being used. 1t pays well to
have some special brand printed on
the wrapper in fancy letters with the
name of the maker or the name of the
farm. The prints ought to weigh not
less than 1914 ounces eaEh, the extra
weight being for shrinkage before
reaching the consumer The time of
marketing depends on local conditions.

Says glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves

morning drink a glass of real hot wa

This will cost very little, but is sufi-
Gent to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause skin pores do not absorb

Just as soap and hot water cleanses,

the possibilities of human endeavor,

brought the printed page, the great

the attention of the various States to
this question and obtained results; it
has made farm lands more valuable
and contributed to increase produc-
ton; it has abridged time by rapid
communication; frightened all envir-
onment, and made ordinary dull rou-
tine interestingly attractive; it has
lessened toll by instructive sugges-
lions which government experiment

PRACTICAL WORK DONE BY
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Almost $4,000 Missouri boys and
girls clubs, organized by the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Missouri throughout the State, in the
year ending June 80, 1916 Over
1000 of these have already finished
some line Of work and received
achievement buttons as reward of
efficiency.
The work offered is sewing, corn
growing, stock judging, poultry man
agement, pig feeding, gardening, can
ming and baking. Clubs are organized
as far as possible through the schools,
the teacher generally being the local
club leader and the county superin-
tendent of schools the county leader.
Instructions and reports are sent free
by the College of Agriculture and the
members of the staff of the Agricul-
tural Extension service visit the
clubs and attend and address the
meetings.
The prescribed course of study, in
GLIDING much practical work, usually
lasts about seven months. At the end
of that time, members who have sat
isfactorily completed the course are
given achievement buttons.
County exhibits and contests are
held and all the clubs of the county
take part. Individual and club prizes
are given. Members who win in the
contests are encouraged to take part
in the State contests at the University
of Missouri during Farmers Week,
January of each year.
The College of Agriculture is trying
by these clubs to teach agriculture and
home economics in a forceful and
practical manner to the boys and
girls of the State, and to make them
more valuable to themselves and Mis-
souri,.

DEMONSTRATORS POINTS
OUT ORCHARDS NEEDS

If your orchard is not paying for
itself, If the trees are dying, if dead
or scaly branches appear, if the fruit
is understood and misshapen and if
the product is less than it ought to be,
you need the service of the Agricul-
tural Extension Service of the College
of Agriculture of the University of
Missouri at Columbia. Proper prun-
ing and spraying may double the pro-
duct of your orchard, and half days
personal instruction may be sufficient
to show you the methods of properly
treating your trees. !.
Recognizing the value of personal
instruction and superiority of exam
pie over precept in teaching improved
methods Of orcharding and truck
farming, the College of Agriculture
has arranged to supply field demons
strator to visit selected farms on
which to conduct demonstrations. It
will be insisted upon that the demon-
strations be on centrally located farms
in interested communities, SO that it
may be Of the most possible value to
the community. The neighbors inter-
eSted IN Such uen0nStfatlOnS VIII Ds

versity of Missouri at Columbia.
There is no charge for his service.
Communities or individuals are ex-
pected to pay his expenses when q

visit, correspondence and instruction
is free. OF course, it is expected that
transportation will be furnished the

way station to the farm where the
demonstration is to be conducted.

FRUIT JUICES

The hot dry weather has led Miss
Addie d. Root of the Missouri College
of Agriculture to urge the members
of the girls canning clubs all over
the State To can as much fruit and
vegetables as possible before it is too
late. 1t is one of the principles of
these clubs, organized and directed
by the college, to see that nothing is
wasted if they can make good use Of
it. In her recent letter Of directions
to the girls, Miss Root makes many
suggestions that are just as applica-
Bile in the kitchens of grown-ups as
anywhere else. She says:
Canning club members may vary
the work by canning fruit juices. They
are valuable addition to the canning
collection as they can be used in SO
many ways. There is a great advan-
tage in preparing them in large guam
titles to be used throughout the year.
"Frui+ juices lend themselves to a
large variety Of uses, such as ices,
fiavoring, ice cream, gelatine desserts,
buildings and sauces. There is no
more refreshing and easily prepared
drink for hot day than an iced fruit
juice.
The juice may be extracted from
the fruit cold by crushing the fruit in
a fruit press or a cider mill or a small
press after it is washed and sorted.
The most economical method for the
extraction of juice is to cook it out.
eff juicy fruits such as currants,
raspberries, and grapes are being
used, place the clean fruit in an enam-
eled preserving kettle, add just enough
water to prevent burning Il cup to
4 or quarts of fruit. Place where
fruit will cook rather slowly, stirring
occasionally with q wooden or enam-
eled spoon. When the simmering
Point is reached mash the fruit, then
continue heating until the whole mass
is cooked through. Care should be
taken not to heat too long as the deli
cate flavor is destroyed. Pour the hot
mass into a sufficiently large piece Of
coarce cloth, cheese cloth or flour
sack, which has been wrung out of
hot water. Tie opposite corners to-
gether and let juice drain into an
earthenwarc or enameled dish. If a
clear juice IS desired, as for jelly, do
not squeeze the bag However, for
general use squeeze the bag until all
the juice is extracted. From less
juicy fruit, like apples, pears and
ounces, wash the fruit, discard any
unsound portions, cut into small
pieces (skins and seeds included),
cover with water, then proceed just
as in the case Of juicy fruits.
Canning Fruit Juice-F'ill clean
jars with juice. Adjust the rubbers
and screw the tops on closely. Lower
upon rack into Gamer, cover with hot
water and sterilize Is minutes.
Count from the time the water in the
can begins to boil. Remove jars,
screw lids tight and cool away from
draught."
Those who are interested in other
phases Of canning will probably wish
to write to the Missouri College of
Agriculture, Columbia, Mo-, for Cir
cular 9 Of the Extension Service which
was recently issued 1t is entitled,
Canning in Glass by the Cold Pack
Method.
