TAXING STOCKS AND SOUPS
Important Part of Dinner Preparations to Which Extreme Care Should
 Be Given.

Brown soup stock is made from beef and vegetables or veal beef, fowl and vegetables. Veal with onion and eel cry seasonngs make white stock, or chicken and veal together with celery, onion and seasonings make white stock. Cream soups are generally made without stock milk or cream be- ing liquids used and foundation from fish or vegetables. Chicken stock ia made from fowl resembles white stock, but is not so rich. Don't expect a soup to be good unless it is properly seasoned, and good, tasty soup is not made with pound of meat and a gal Ion of water. Patience and good ma Serial are necessary factors in good soup making. Cut the meat in small pieces, cover with cold water, let stand one hour, then heat gradually. This method draws out all the nutritive and f1avoring qualities of the meat Allow one pint of water to each pound of bones and meat, or about three-quar- ters meat and small portion of bone

 meat to give added flavor. Sweet herbs for seasoning are necessary and are composed of parsley, bay leaf cloves, peppercorns, thyme and mar joram. If you desire a clear soup, do not let stock boil rapidly. Long, slow cooking is necessary. Stock with coat. ing of fat will keep a week in hot weather and several weeks in cold weather.
 To Clear Soup Stock.-Take white and shell of one egg for every two quarts of strained stock. Beat white, add crushed shell to cold stock, pour into kettle and stir constantly until boiling point is reached. Boil three minutes without stirring, then simmer gently for ten minutes. Strain through fine sieve and cheesecloth Repeat as needed and serve. If these directions are followed an absolutely clear soup will be the result

SPECIAL MILK GAINS FAVOR
Trade Name That Should Be Applied Only to Clean, Safe Product of
 Highest Standard.

tFrom the United States Department of
 Agrculture)
 In many cities there is a tendency to grade milk and sell it to the con- sumer upon it's merits. Such a system is most desirable, as it enables dairy men who handle high-grade product to obtain recognition for their Care. It also enables the consumers to choose their supply on the absolute merits of the various grades. This is a. sound commercial feature and one that is all ready recognized in nearly all other in- dustries.
 At the present time there are on the market numerous brands of special milks. The average consumer has only a hay idea as to what is meant by special milk, but usually considers it to be in some way superior to the ordinary milk sold. Some milk deal- CTS have considered that milk a little richer in fat should constitute special milk, while others have adhered to the

PRACTICAL POINTS
 FOR A POULTRYMAN
Whole Flock Should Be Kept in as Near Perfect State of
 Health as Possible,

(By LESLIE E. CARD, Connecticut Az
 ricultural College)
 Keep the whole flock in as near A perfect state of health as possible. as eggs are often infected from diseased condition of the hen and will not then keep as we'll
 Give enough shell-forming food to the hens so that the shells will be strong and uniform in thickness. Thin shelled eggs do not keep we'll.
 Make proper nesting places and keep them clean so that the eggs may not be infected while in the nests.
 Gather the eggs each day.
 Keep the gathered eggs in a dry, cool room or cellar where the suns rays do not fall directly upon them.
 Preserve only absolutely fresh eggs. Stale eggs will not keep in any pre- servative. Place eggs in the preserv. ative within twentyfour hours after the time they are laid. If in doubt as to their freshness, candle them, or see if they sink when placed in a dish of pure water. If an egg sinks it is reasonably fresh.
 Do not preserve dirty eggs nor eggs that have been washed. The washed egg will not keep because the shell has been moistened and the dirty eggs will become tainted in flavor.
 Do not try to keep eggs longer than one year.
 Do not use tho same liquid more than once. A new lot is cheaper than a case of spoiled eggs.
 Rinse the eggs in water after re- moving from the preservative. If in good condition when removed from water-glass solution they will usually remain for at least two weeks.
 Water-glass eggs are practically as good as fresh eggs for all cooking pur poses. If it is desired to boil them prick small hole through the large end of the shell before placing them in the water. The pores of the shell have been sealed by the water-g glass solution and without this pin hole the expanding air within the shell would burst it.

so they should have pasture and be fed well-balanced ration, and Just enough of it to keep them in good con- dition without permitting them to be- come fat. As farrowing time ap- breaches the sows should be separated in order to prevent their crowding or injuring one another.
 The Herd Boar.
 The herd boar Is best handled by giving him pasture lot by himself. His feed should be liberal enough to keep him in good breeding condition only. This will be very light when he is not in use for breeding purposes, but during the breeding season his feed should be increased. His ration should consist of some high-protein feeds along with mill feeds and a lit tie corn. The care of the boar is im- portant because of his relative impor- tance in the herd, and his care, quar- ters, feed and watering should be care. fully seen to and provided.
 Shotes.
 The term shote is applied to all swine from the time the pig reaches weaning age until the fattening or breeding age is reached Pigs should be weaned at from eight to thirteen weeks, depending on whether or not the sOws are to be bred again 1t is always wise to have them taught to eat we'll before weaning in order that the rate of gain may not be checked. Weaning should be done gradually, the sow's feed being reduced to cause her to dry up properly and at the same time increasing the feed for the pigs. The pigs at this age should have a ration rather high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
 The boar pigs should be castrated between six and eight weeks of age before they are weaned. The young CT the pig the less the shock and pos slbly the less check in growth. If a pig is still sucking it's dam when cas. tration takes place the chances are that it will be more thrifty and in better condition than if castrated i'm mediately after weaning. Spaying the females is not advisable under mod ern conditions and will not be found profitable enough to justify the risk of the operation.

FORAGE CROPS ARE
 FAVORED FOR HOGS
Clover Pasture Affords One of Cheapest Substitutes for
 Grain for Swine.
(By ANDREW BOSS. College of Agricul-
 its. caf at !

By ANDREW BOSS, College of Agricul-
 ture University of Minnesota.)
 The profits from next years hog crop depend on getting an early start and good growth on the spring pigs. Grain feed is likely to be scarce and high priced on account of the loss of the corn crop last fall. Good forage can be made to go long way toward taking the place of grain in maintain ing the brood SOW and starting the spring litter of pigs. Records of gains show that an acre of clover will give as large a gain on hogs as 1,400 to 1900 pounds of shorts.
 If good clover pasture can be pro- vided, it will be one of the cheapest substitutes for grain that can be found If provision for clover pasture or for forage crops has not been made, sub stltute crops can be grown. One of the best substitutes is mixture of a bushel of oats and IF bushels of Can ada field peas. These should be sown just as early as the ground is ready to receive the seed. They will make a good pasture in five or six weeks
 Dwarf Essex rape is also popular hog forage. This may be sown early, also. though it grows faster when not sown until the ground is reasonably warm. A mixture of half bushel of oats, three pounds of Dwarf Essex rape and two pounds of medium-red clover sown on an acre of ground about May 1 will make splendid sum mer feed after the middle of June. To follow this, corn sown in drills 36 inches apart with rape sown broadcast after the corn has been cultivated once or twice will make excellent late summer and early fall feed, especially for the growing pigs.
 By the use of these forage crops, very much can be done to stimulate the growth of the pigs and to put them in good condition for fall fatten- ing. If small amount of shorts and some skim milk can be provided for the young pigs with the forage, excel lent gains will be made.

 which is unique in it's kind, and which is probably one of the most ancient constructions preserved in Egypt. It consists of great pool with porches. called Strabo's well, and the so-called tomb of Osiris. It is situated behind the western wall of the temple built by Seti l, which has been the chief attraction of Abydos for travellers. It was entirely subterranean, at a depth of more than thirty feet below the temple, and nothing revealed it's ex- istence.
 The building, as described by Edouard Naville, director of the ex- cavation, consists of a rectangle, the inside of which Is about a hundred feet long and sixty wide. The two long sides are north and south. The inclosure wall is twenty feet thick It consists of two castings; the outer one is limestone rather roughly worked; the inner one Is in beautiful masonry of red quartzite sandstone. The joints are very fine there is only very thin stratum of mortar, which is hard ly perceptible. Here and there the thick knob has been left which was used for moving the stones. The blocks are very large-a length of fifteen feet is by no means rare; and the whole structure has decidedly the character of the primitive construc- tions which in Greece are called cyclo- pean, and an Egyptian example of which is at Ghizeh, the so-called tenn pie of the Sphinx.
 This colossal character is still more striking in the inner part. It is di- vided into three naves or aisles of unequal size-the middle one being wider. These naves are separated by two colonnades of square monolithic pillars in granite about fifteen feet high and eight and one-half feet square. There are five of them in each colonnade. They supported architraves in proportion with them, their height being more than six feet. These archi- traves and the inclosure wall support ed a ceiling, also of granite monoliths, which was not made of slabs but of blocks, like the architraves, more than six feet thick. It has been calculated that one of the few of them remaining weighs more than thirty tons. Un- fortunately, in one corner only has the ceiling been preserved. The whole building has been turned into quar- ry, especially the inside, which was entirely granite Pillars architrayeS ceiling, everything has been broken and split with wedges, traces of which are seen everywhere, in order to make millstones of various sizes. Sev- eral of them, weighing seven or eight tons, have been left.
 Peculiar Design of Pool.
 The side aisles only, about ten feet wide. had ceilings. It is doubtful whether the middle nave vas roofed.

beautiful masonry goes on, and at a depth of twelve feet water was reached. It is at the level of the in- filtration water in the cultivated land, though the structure is in the desert. Thus the two aisles and the two ends of the middle nave form a continuous rectangular pool, the sides of which are very fine masonry of large blocks. How much deeper the wall goes than the present level of the water, it is difficult to say.
 The middle nave is block of ma- sorry also made of enormous stones, which goes down as deep as the wa-I ter, and on which rest the pillars of the colonnades. The floor is at the same level as that of the cells and of the ledge. This platform is an is- land it could be reached only with a small boat or by wooden bridge; there is water on the four sides. Even in front of the doorway there is only the ledge; there is no pathway of any kind leading to it. On both sides east and west-there are two stair cases leading from the platform to the water.
 Tomb of Osiris.
 The tomb of Osiris is of later date than the pool with it's cells. It dates from the time of Seti I, the grand father of Menephtah, who probably made it when he built his temple AS fer the pool, it is probably one of the most ancient constructions which have been preserved in Egypt. It is ex- actly in the style of the so-called tenn pie of the Sphinx. which is work of the Fourteenth dynasty, and one of the characteristic features of which is the total absence of any inscription or ornament. But the pool is even more colossal. In the temple of the Sphinx the pillars are four feet square; here they are eight and one- half. It is impossible, in spite of the havoc made, especially in the southern aisle, not to be struck by the majes- tic simplicity of the structure, chiefly in the corner where the ceiling has re- mained. Besides, this construction of character quite unknown at present raises many questions which further excavations will, perhaps, solve. Was the pool in connection with the wor- ship of Osiris? Did the sacred boat of the god float on the water? Since the boats of the gods are always lowed with ropes, the ledge on both sides would be a very appropriate path for the priests who did it. What were the cells made for? Were they reproductions of those which the Book of the Dead describes as being in the celestial house of Osiris? Was the water supposed to have a cura- tive effect; was 1t an Egyptian pool of Bethesda?
 AS for the water itself. it must have been stored for some purpose. The enormous ceilings must have been made in order to prevent evaporation. Is it to be imagined that the old Egyp- tians made such an enormous construc-

Do With Production of Clean Milk. principle that such a grade should be cleaner and safer than the ordinary grades.
 A special milk may or may not be richer in fat than ordinary grades but it certainly should be produced and handled in such manner as to be cleaner and safer than the ordinary grades handled by the individual deal CT or by his competitors. In this way public confidence can be maintained and an increased price warranted Dairymen are learning that it is good business to stand sQuarely behind their goods to see that all claims are fully substantiated.
 If a special milk is to be sold as such its standard should be high and perma- nent, so as to result in increased con- fidence and increased demand from consumers. There is hardly any bet ter way to create a demand than to produce and maintain a high grade, and this grade is to be termed "spe- cial," it should by all means be as safe as possible, from a health point of view, and not a mere trade name Business depends upon the demand, demand depends on quality, and qual- ity on the inclination of the man be- hind and the standard he wishes to set for his product. If special milk is to be included, it must be his best effort along his chosen line of endeayor and to this end every milk dealer should be able and willing to set and maintain high standard. At present in most cities only very small quan- tity of special milk is handled, al though it seems that the trade de- great deal more.

It was, perhaps, only covered at the end over the entrance to the tomb of Osiris" When the work reached the lower layers of the inclosure wall, very extraordinary discovery was made. In this wall, all around the structure, are cells about six feet high and wide, all exactly alike, without any ornament or decoration. They had doors, probably made of wood. with single leaf; one can see the holes where they turned. Such cells are not seen in any other Egyptian construction.
 What was still more surprising is that they do not open on to floor, but on to a narrow ledge which ran on both sides of the nave. There was no floor in those aisles; under the ledge. which is slightly projecting. the

tion merely for infiltration water? There is no doubt that it is what is called Strabo's we'll which he de- scribes as being below the temple, but on smaller proportions, and with passages covered by big monoliths.
