 esses of economy

 on "How"- serve the same pur- pose as the canned. but not so acceptably. Canning and preserving have descended in the main from mother to daughter. Improved methods have crept in slowly. In spite of progress, there remain much of drudgery and uncertainty to discour- age the busy kitchen forces. Fortu- nately the scientists have not over looked this important branch of domes- tic activity. Schools are equipped for teaching and demonstrating, and, be- sides the corps of teachers on duty, there Is a vast reserve of graduates capable of teaching and demonstrating. Canning and preserving are not con- fined to rural districts. In the season fruits and vegetables are in sharp de- mand in the populous cities for storing up. So it is national work, and the sensible suggestion has been made that experts and novices mobilize for training tour on how to preserve both fruit and vegetables in the easiest, sim plest, cheapest and what is of supreme importance, the safest way.

Joint Enterprise Will Create a Junk Market and a Thrift
 Boom.

Says the Post: Millions of dollars worth of iron and steel in the form of broken down farm machinery and tools lie rusting in barnyards and fence cor ners. Every village in the United States has a metal mine in its vacant lots, back yards and buggy sheds.
 "Wood, woolen and cotton cloth, leather, paper and copper lie by mil lions of tons in attics, cellars, lumber rooms, stables and on the ground. Time out of mind we have thrown away yearly what would sustain a pop ulation that had to economize to the last scrap. With these prices and un- der these conditions waste is sheer stu pidity.
 Every village, town, city and rural township ought to organize at once systematic ransacking of its waste basket. The value of the waste on any individuals premises may seem unimportant to him as an individual, but by systematic effort a big aggre- rate value may be recovered for the nation"
 The uncertainty of a market for such stuff and the cost of transportation are the chief causes of the general neglect of the wealth wasted in scraps This might be remedied by co-opera- ton. As soon as the supply Is de- pendable dealers will get to work.

SaWdust in Concrete.

Nails can be driven into concrete II
sawdust has been added to the mix
ture. The proportions of one part Oh
cement, two of sand, and three-quar-
tiers of sawdust will produce con-
crete in which nails will hold.
The addition Of sawdust appears TO
increase the tendency Of concrete 10
absorb water, but the application Oh
waterproof paint helps to eliminate
this difficulty.
Concrete of these proportions Is
quite apt to crumble and will not
stand much usage. 1t should be uSeu
only in floors and other places Whefo
it is to be covered with a protectns
surface Of boards or flooring of some
sort.
