House Committee Votes to Favorably Report Pro-
 hibition Measure.

Washington, Dec. 14-The proposed national prohibition amendment was ordered faNorably reported to the house by the judiciary committee by 9 vote of 12 to z. The proposed uni versal suffrage amendment was ordered reported without recom- mendation.
 The vote on the suffrage proposal was II to 8. The resolution by Rep resentative Baker would submit the several Susan B. Anthony amend ments to the states.
 Chairman Webb of the committee said he would not ask for action on the resolution until after the Christ mas recess. He will not ask for any action on the suffrage proposal. Rep resentative Gardner of Ohio, who has been opposed to suffrage, was chosen to report it.
 Representative Carlin of Virginia will report the prohibition proposal
 The reporting of the suffrage pro- posal was due to the belief of some of it's opponents that it can be beaten on the floor, and they thought it best to settle the issue by bringing it to a direct vote in the house.
 An effort was made to couple it in the voting, as was done, at the last session of congress, and which re suited in both proposals being kept ir the committee and consideration O. them postponed indefinitely.

NO HOLIDAY RATES ON
 RAILROADS THIS YEAR
Custom of Years Broken, Possibly Because of War in Europe and
 the High Cost of Living.

If you are planning to go any, where for the holidays, you may as well go now, and not wait for holiday rates by the railroads, because, ac- cording to announcement made yes terday, there are to be no holiday rates offered by the roads in this sec tion.
 Just why the roads have decided to abandon the old policy of offering in- ducements in the way of lower rates, could not be learned, although it was admitted that perhaps the war in Eu- rope and the high cost of living are to blame.
 There have been many enquiries of local representatives of the roads, as to when the holiday rates would be- come effective, and yesterday the def mite statement was made that "there will be no special holiday rates this year,

CABBAGE IN VARIED FORMS
Vegetable That Is Usually Considered Somewhat Plebeian Has Many
 Possibilities.

Cabbage has not very good reputa- tion among some people, and it is a standby winter vegetable of thousands of others. Even for the fastidious taste there are delicious ways of cook ing cabbage, and in salad it can also be used with appetizing results.
 Chop a small head of cabbage, re- moving the heart. Put three table spoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, and two tablespoonfu's of flour, and turn in the cabbage after the butter and flour are well blended, then pour on gradually a cupful of milk. Bring to the boiling point and add two tea spoonfuls of salt, a few dashes of pep per, mix thoroughly and cover tightly and cook forty minutes on the back of the range. About five cupfuls of cab bage are used for the other ingredi. ents. All vegetarians will relish this toothsome dish. Its flavor is delicate and delightful.
 Baked Cabbaee.-Soak cabbage one hour in cold water, then boil ten min utes after cutting in good sized pieces Place in baking dish and cover with one tablespoonful of butter, one of flour and one cupful of milk. Salt and pepper to taste Cover with bread crumbs and bake one hour.
 Creamed Cabbaee.-Soak a cabbage for half an hour in cold water, then trim it and cut it in eighths, and drop 1t into saucepan of boiling salted water Add clove and whole onion and cook until tender Remove the onion, drain the cabbage and chop it fine. Put in saucepan with a table spoonful of butter and slowly add three tablespoonfuls of cream. Heat thoroughly season with pepper and salt and serve.

USES FOR PARAFFIN PAPER
Cheap Article Which 1t VIII Be Found Economical to Keep Supply
 on Hand.

Paraffin paper costs only about five cents or ten cents for big roll, and try to keep some on hand always.
 Besides being fine for lining almost every kind of mold from cake to ice cream, it's also good to use inside a dish in which fish, like salmon loaf or some other souffle dish, is being cooked It's easy to remove-and, joy of joys-as you throw away the par affin paper you throw away the fish aroma which makes the washing of fish utensils so odious.
 Then it's also good to use to wrap around foods before placing them in the ice box. Of course. I cover almost all foods with the cover that comes with the dish. But what can you use to cover a roast that has been cooked |? l haven't a dish cover of any kind that's large enough or shaped right to do this. Answer, I wrap it in a little paraffin paper dress The paraf- fin doesn't absorb the juices as tissue paper would and it keeps away odors Of other foods. In fact, a little sheet of paraftin paper can be used to cover any dish in the refrigerator in lieu of any other kind of cover, and it is a sure protector against the dish ab- sorbing odors from neighboring foods.

SPOILED SLAGE IS
 HARMFUL TO STOCK
Poisonous Feed Should Be Hauled to Some Part of Field Out
 of CattIe's Reach.

CBy c. LARSON, South Dakota Experi.
 ment Station)
 The molds and bacteria which cause silage to decay produce at times poi sonous by-products. The spoiled silage should be hauled out to some place in the field to which the cattle don't have access. The spoiled siage results from air entered near the surface, which is natural, but not over a few inches should be spoiled. Shortly after filling the silo this top portion of the silage becomes very hot, but ex- treme heat is not common to silage a foot or two below the surface.
 The amount of spoiled silage may be minimized by going into the silo every day during the first week after filling and tramping it down thor oughly The silage settles during the first week If there is no extra weight on top the silage will become loose and open, admitting air near the surface. This year the corn fodder was more green than usual. It was immature and contained a large per cent of water. If the farmer was not careful to tramp it down daily after filling it may be seen why there ap- pears to be more than the usual amount of spoiled silage this year.

on shoots of the current seasons growth, which in turn grow from buds developed the previous season. All pruning must, therefore, be based on this characteristic of the plant. After determining the system of pruning best suited to the conditions, species and variety the vine should be so handled, during it's early life, as to develop a general framework of the type desired.
 The pruning the first winter after the planting of the vines is determined by the character of the growth made by the plants. If the growth has been the strongest shoot should be removed and this should be cut back to two or three buds. If strong growth has been made and there is one straight, well-ripened shoot, all other growth should be removed and this cane cut back to the height at which it is in tended to head the vine. This will concentrate all the force and growth of the plant into the cane which is to become the trunk of the vine From this only such shoots should be allowed to grow as are needed for shaping the vine for the following, it's first, fruiting season. After this framework has been established, the fruit-bearing part of the plant should be so pruned that it will be renewed from year to year and so adjusted to the variety and the food supply as never to allow the plant to over bear, but at the same time to induce 1t to bear it's full capacity. Under such treatment the body of the plant will gradually become stronger and it's fruiting capacity will increase cor respondingly.
 Not only do different countries have different methods of pruning and training, but methods often vary in the several districts of the same coun- try. Those interested in the methods of pruning and training used in this country will find them illustrated and described in Farmers Bulletin No All, entitled Grape Propagation, Pruning and Training" which can be had free on application to the depart ment.
