salmon that has been faxed. Mix
with Il mayonnaise dressing and serve
on crisp well chilled lettuce.
Another hearty salad is prepared
with boiled rice seasoned with finely
chopped onion and French dressing.
Arrange on a salad plate and garnlsh
with drained sardines and minced
parsley and picked beets.
Take a crisp young cabbage hol-
lowed out f0 a bowl and shred the
tender portion, mixing It with equal
parts of celery and a little chopped
onion. Serve with a good boiled
dressing.
Very ripe ounces peeled and sliced,
seasoned with minced chlves and
served with French dressing are also
n welcome variety. Bananas are near
ly always with us and they are good
with nuts.
Apples with celery and nuts is an
other well-llked combination as well
as sliced apple and shredded green
pepper with nuts, served with may
OnnatSe dressing.
By cooking a double portion Of vege-
tables n day you have ample for
salads for the next. Salads that can
be served as substitutes for meats
are easily made, economical, and save
the cook as well as the overworked d.
gestive system.
Baked Bean Salad.-Place in n bowl
a few slices of onion and turn over
them a pint OF baked BEANS season
and mix lightly add two tablespoon
fuls of olive oil, a teaspoonful of
sugar and a quarter Of a cupful Of
vinegar. Mold and garnish with hard
cooked eggs and serve on lettuce.
Chopped green peppers and tomatoes
are good mixed with beans and served
with French dressing.

BEST SOIL FOR STRAWBERRY
Rich Sandy Loan lie Most Desirable
Plants Demand an Immense
Amount Of Moisture.

The best type Of soil for straw
berry culture is a rich sandy loan,
but most any kind of IA soil will pro-
duce good crops provided it is rich,
well-dralned and Of loose texture.
Strawberries demand an immense
amount of moisture, and for this rea-
son the soil should be In good condi-
ton to hold large quantities of it. As
the water-hOlding capacity Of a soil
depends largely on the amount OF or
ganic matter present, there should be
an abundance of 1t in the soil. This
can be supplied by turning under n
green manuring crop Of a heavy appll-
cation of manure.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1916-09-15

ment OF AGriculture)
No farming people have ever been
able economically to maintain the fer
tility OF their soils without the use Of
live stock. Farming without the use
OF anUre is a waste of energy and
results in the exhaustion of soils. The
neglect in preserving and increasing
the quantity Of farm manures has re-
suited in a great drain on the natural
resources Of the American farm, es-
pecially In the southern part Of the
United States. The lack Of intelligent
care OF the waste products and the
convenient form Of commercial fertil-
izeFs have Jointly been responsible for
the almost general neglect of farm
manures. A much greater value can
be had from commercial fertilizers
when used wisely in connection with
n and green crops.
The 8 OF barnyard manure is the
best means of improving the condition
Of the soils, and the Importance of
carefully preserving all the manure
products on the farm for judicious use
on the cultivated fields cannot be too
strongly impressed on the farmers.
One Of the principal reasons for the
small value sometimes realized from
manur of any kind is that It has not
been properly handled and through
exposure and neglect has lost a large
percentage of its plant food. Prob
ably from IS to 90 per cent of the
fertilizlng value of a crop is left In
the after passing through the
animal. Since the fertilizer in soluble
form and the manure quickly begin to
ferment with loss of nitrogen, we
have some idea of why 1t is of the
utmost importance to protect the
manure supply from teaching by rains,
excessive fermentation, or from other
sources of loss.
The Cornell university experiment
station found that as much as 30 per
cent Of the plant-foOd constituents in
manure may be lost by teaching and
unnecessary fermentation. The prob
lem is how best and most economical
ly TO prevent this loss. The best plan
where 1t is practicable is to haul out
the manure regularly, spread it upon
the land, and pillow 1t under. The
best results usually are obtained by
turning under shallow. The next best
plan is to keep the stock under sheds
or in stables with sufficient litter to
absorb all liquids. This treatment will
not only take up moisture but the o N
tinual trampling of the animal will ex-
clude all air, so that the accumulation
may go on without injury to its quail
ity until a convenient time to remove

trutt for use In pies or salads or
as stewed fruit can be put up or
canned without the use Of any sugar
at all, according to the canning spe-
cialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. They, therefore,
advise those who, because of the high
price Of sugar, have been thinking of
reducing the amount of fruit they put
up, to can as much Of their surplus as
possible by the use Of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond their
means. Any fruit, they say, may be
successfully sterlllzed and retained in
the pack by simply adding boiling wa
ter instead Of the hot strip. The use
Of sugar, Of course, is desirable in
the canning of all kinds of fruits and
makes a better and ready sweetened
product. Moreover, most Of the fruits
when canned In water alone do not
retain their natural flavor, texture, and
color as well as fruit put up in strip.
Fruit canned without sugar to be used
for sauces or desserts must be sweet
ened.
Can the product the same day 1t is
picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean
the fruit by placing 1t in a strainer
and pouring water wei 1t until it is
clean. Pack the product thoroughly
In glass jars oil tin cans until they are
full use the handle Of a tablespoon,
wooden ladle, or table knife for pack
ing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from a kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass Jars, seal complete
talners in n sterilizing vat, such as a
wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle improvised for the
purpose. If using a hOt-water bath
outfit, process for 80 minutes count
time after the water has reached the
boiling point; the water must cover
tie highest jar in the %cOntainer. After
sterilizlng remove packs, seal glass
jOrs, wrap in paper to prevent bleach
ing, and store in a dry, cool place.
II you are canning in tin cans 1t will
improve the product to plunge the cans
quickly into cold water Immediately
after sterilization. When using a steam
pressure Gamer instead Of the hot
water bath, sterllize for ten minutes
with five pounds of steam pressure.
Never allow the pressure to go over
ten pounds.

RED PEPPER AS STIMULANT
Plenty Of Balanced Ration and Prop
erly Arranged House Vastly
Superior In Value.

The use OF red pepper a. a stlmu-
liant for laying is largely a myth ;
plenty Of n balanced ration and warm
quarters, properly lighted and VEN
tlated, are all vastly superior In value
to make hens lay as compared with
excessive feeding OF such a condl-
ment as red pepper. Adding a little
condiment occasionally to a hot wet
mash will stimulate appetite when
the fowls do not appear to be eating
as well as usual. 1t should not form
a part Of the daily ration, even in
cold weather.
