INCREASE PROFITS OF DAIRY
II Poorer Half of Cows Were Sold Re,
turns Would Be Doubled, Says
Dairy Commissioner.

1t seems like strong statement to
make, but it is no doubt true, as was
said by the dairy commissioner of a
great state dairy, that if the poorer
half Of the COWS of the state We're sold
off the dairy profits of the state would
be doubled.
If but tie better half of the cows
were kept the feed consumed by the
Improbable ones would be saved, the
work would be halved and the profits
from those kept would be more than
double those of the herds as now con-
stituted.
The volume Of butter-and- milk pro-
duction would be decreased, no doubt.
if this course were pursued, and the
consumer would be called upon to pay
higher prices; but the da.ryman would
double his profits, and that should be
the object sought in any business.
And the farm. The da!ryman who
does not improve his Land every year
must lie awake nights studying how
to keep it from growing more fertile.
Selling milk is about the hardest way
to use dairy farm, but he who sells
butterfat sells nothing but sunshine,
for a ton of butter isn't worth a wagon
load Of stable manure as fertilizer.
They say it is worth about rs cents.

STORING ROOTS FOR WINTER
Care Must Be Used to Prevent Heat.
ing-ShouId Be Left on Ground
Until Thoroughly Dry.

Care must be used in storing roots
for winter to prevent heating. Ru,a-
bagas put in the cellar damp and with
considerable earth on their roots are
very apt to heat, and roots of any kind
that heat in the bin spoil.
When weather conditions will per-
nit roots should be left on the ground
a day or two after pulling to dry out
before storing in the cellar. The less
earth that goes in the cellar with the
roots the better they will keep. Earth
fills up the space between the roots and
prevents the circulation of air.
When there is danger of the roots
freezing in the ground and they have
to be hauled in in a wet condition, it
is well to pile them outside the cellar
and cover with straw and manure and
leave them there for a week or more
to dry out. If the covering is removed
from the top during the day when not
freezing they will dry out very fast.
This is much easier than to put them
in the cellar wet and have to haul
them out when they are found to be
heating. Roots must be dry when
stored to keep through the winter.

WITH STALE BREAD
MANY DISHES MAY BE PREPARED
FROM REMNANTS.
Can Be Put to Excellent Use for
Stuffing and Meat Frying-Bresd
custard Pudding Is Good
Jelly for InValids.

OF all the leftover remnants of food
from the kitchen bread is the most
common, perhaps, and many pieces are
daily thrown away which little
thought would turn to excellent use. If
the leftover pieces are not utilized the
same day, an excellent plan is to wrap
them in pieces Of waxed paper and
store them in a stone jar. They viii
keep we'll for a week in this way.
Dried Crumbs for stuffing and Meat
Fryng.-Put the crusts and small
pieces in a baking pan and dry in the
oven without burning. They may then
be put through the food chopper and
stored in clean Mason jars until want
ed. They may be used as basis for
meat croquettes, poultry stuffing and
other things.
French toast may be made from the
whole slices of leftover bread. 1t is
an excellent luncheon pickup dish.
Beat an egg and add little milk Dip
the slices of bread in this and fly
nice brown In hot drippngs. Serve
with butter, jelly or marmalade.
Bread custard Pudding.-Cut the
bread in dainty shapes and butter lib
orally Make a plain custard of eggs,
milk ana sugar. Put in baking dish
and float the buttered bread on top.
Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and bake
In quick oven until brown. This is
excellent.
To make crOutons for the various
soups so much relished in season, cut
the bread in cubes ard fry in butter or
dripping just before serving with the
soup Add five or six to each plate Of
soup These are delicious with almost
any soup.
Bread Jelly for nvalids.-Scald the
stale bread freed from crusts. Mash
to a paste until Of mushllke consIsten-
cy. Add little sugar and fiav0ring,
mold, chill and serve with cream.
Sterilizcd bread crumbs are epeclal.
ly valuable for the young children in
the household. A Jar should be kept
filled with these. They may be heated
when wanted and sprinkled in soft
eggs, soups, milk. fruit juices and In
deed. anything eaten by very young
children where fresh bread is often
positively dangerous
Dried bread is also valuable for mix
ing with various other foods for feed
ing the household pets.

Careful Selection win Increase
Crop Yield.
Everyone interested in Industry Should
Unite in Campaign for Day on

College viii Aid.

An increase of per cent In the av-
erage stand and yield Of corn will
amount to a million dollars increase
in value, but careful field selection Of
seed corn can be made to result in an
increase of from 5 to 10 per cent in
next years crop, according to r. IL.
Baker Of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. Mr.. Baker bases this on ex-
periment-statiOn figures, comparing the
results of field selection with ordinary
crib selection, and feels that every day
spent in judicious field selection can
easily be made to bring the corn grow
er from $40 to $50 in increased yields.
Farmers clubs, industrious farmers,
and everyone interested in corn grow
ing should unite in a campaign for a
seed-cOrn selection day on which ev-
elyone concerned will see that work is
started along this line in his own field
Those who know how to select can
meet with those who do not and help
them, or If there is sufficient interest,
the college will send a man to help in
this matter. Many of the clubs have

There was a time in football, and it
wasn't so long ago, when if a so
called small team defeated an eleven
representing one of the larger colleges
or universities it would have been
guilty of lese majesty. 1t was seldom
that it happened. Occasionally, of
course, one Of the big teams came a
cr0rper in an early-seasOn clash, but
for the most part the games served
the purpose for which they were sched-
ule1-namely, the mediums whereby
coaches gradually developed their
charges for the feature games of the
season.

But in recent years these smaller
eleyens have been scoring victories

small colleges have engaged good

able to whip their material into ma
chimes capable Of playing the best of
football. Furthermore, since beating a
big team is quite a feather in the cap
of the little eleven the coaches have
rushed the perfection of their teams
for these early games. The smaller
elevens are developed earlier than the
big ones, the coaches of the big ones
preferring to perfect their machines by
degrees, always working with the one

the objective.
Good Example.
Tufts is good example of the early

Tufts invaded the stadium at Cam

anticipated a defeat for Harvard. The
majority viewed the game as an early

Tufts won by to 3 count.
