USE PAPER CUPS FOR SODA
Up-to-Date Drink Fountains Are Now
Adopting Most Sanitary
Device.

Glass soda service-the kind our
grandfathers and the grandfathers Of
the present generation of germs knew
is doomed. The new paraffined pa
per cups for sodas and sundaes that
now are being adopted by up-to-date
fountains all over the United States,
are to be had in all Of the regulation
sizes.
They are made Of pure white paper
and no glue of any kind holds them to-
gether. They are paraffined on the
outside only. so that they can be used
as successfully for hot drinks as they
can for cold. Special metal holders
are made for them, giving them solid
background, which prevents the spoon
from being pushed through the paper.
The metal dispensing tube holds 100
Of the cups, which are placed in the
tube point upward. When needed,
metal holder is placed on the cups, top
downward. BY turning the cupholder
to the right the metal tongue Is made
to clasp the creased paper, and cup
and holder can then be removed to-

USING WHEAT FOR HOG FEED
Information Of Much Value Obtained
In Experimental Work Carried
On at Missouri College.

(By L. A.IWEAVER. Missouri Agricui-
tural Experiment ,Station.)
The Missouri agricultural expert.
ment station has obtained Information
of value to pork producers. especially
In seasons when the corn crop Is short,
by carrying on experimental work with
other crops grown on the farm. BY
conducting feeding trials with wheat
Ii has been shown that under some
conditions wheat may we'll be used for
hog feeding instead Of corn. Results
20 cents or more bushel, wheat may
be profitably substituted for corn, Ii
the wheat Is worth 80 cents or less.
Likewise If corn is worth 50 cents per
bushel, wheat Is worth $1.O3 bushel
as hog feed.
It has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by ad-
ding a small amount of tankage to
mixture Of corn and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such a
supplement.
For example, the cost Of producing
100 pounds of pork with corn and tank
age was 80 cents less than when
corn alone was used. This would
mean an additional profit to the pro-
Queer of 500 or more on each carload
of hogs fed.
The results of these tests are report
ed in full in Bulletin 1876 entitled Feed
ing Wheat to Fattening Hogs. pub

WHITEWAsH ABOUT THE FARM
Recipe Given by Nebraska College OF
AprIcuIture-Great Help In De.
stroying lnsects.

For general use about the farm
buildings to assist In destroying In

wash is offered by the Nebraska Col
lege of Agriculture: Stake FIVE quarts
of lime with hot water to about the
consistency Of cream. To this add
one pint of zenoleum or some other
coal-tar product. and one quart OF
kerosene. Dilute with about Its vol
ume of water; apply with a brush or
a pump. This solution when properly
applied accomplishes three things:
"a Zenoleum acts as .disinfectant
by killing disease germs; (2) the
kerosene aids in destroying mites;
and (2) the lime whitens the house.

RATE OF SEEDING FLAX CROP
Where Rainfall Is Not More Than
Twenty Inches Twenty Pounds
to Acre Is Recommended.

Where the annual rainfall is not
more than 20 inches. fax need not be
sown at a greater rate than 20 pounds
to the acre. This should be reduced
to Is pounds under drier conditions.
Where the rainfall IL more than 20
inches, a slightly higher yield may be
obtained IL 25 pounds are sown to the
acre. The sowing of more than 70
pounds to the acre on nonirrigated
