CHICKENS FOR EMPTY CANS
Trading OF Discarded Tins and Bottles
for Food Is Common in Thlbet,
Explorer Reports.

Bringing with him an extensive coll
lection of small mammals, reptiles and
birds. Roy c. Andrews. head of the
Asiatic geological expedition. has ar
rived in New YORK, after q year and
n half In the remote provinces of
China.
The expedition spent much of the
time in the mountains of Yunnan and
progressed as far as Tibet. Mr.. An
drews' adventures included everything
from hunting "blue" tigers to buying
chickens at the rate of two for IN
empty condensed milk can.
Politically China is in a chaotic
state. Mr.. Andrews reports, as most of
the provinces are so far removed from
the central government at Picking that
any change OF authority does not
make itself felt. Socially, he declares,
ii is Overrun with bandits, most of
whom are recruits from the army. Ac-
cording TO Mr.. Andrews, there is no
great moral difference between a Chi
nese common soldier and a bandit.
In many places he found traffic by
water impossible because the army has
a habit of using small river boats for
target practice.
The expedition found the border of
Thibet an ideal place to live in. Food
may be bought with old bottles and
cans. There are plenty of servants
and no rumor of the war has pene-
trated that far.

Because of its low content of min

should not be fed as the sole concen-
trate in rations for swine. Bodily
weaknesses result from n deficiency of
mineral elements when other feeds are
not supplied with corn.
In experimental feeding tests con
Quoted by Or. +. b. Forbes of the
Ohio experiment station. hogs fed
mainly corn had weak bones often re-
sulting in lameness and fractures.
Such injuries do not occur with hogs
on pasture or with those given feeds
rich in lime. such as clover, alfalfa,
rape, skim milk and tankage. Bone
flour, wood ashes, corncob charcoal
and lime are useful supplements to ra-
tions deficient in minerals.

70 STORE VEGETABLES
Outdoor Cellar or Cave Is Con-
sidered Best Place.
House Is Too Warm and Atmosphere
Too Dry-Three important Factors
Are Ventilation, Temperature
and Moisture.

"All things considered, an outdoor
cellar or cave Is the best place to store
your vegetables for winter" says q
writer in an exchange. "An ordinary
house cellar Is. as q rule, too warm
and the atmosphere too dry for most
vegetables. Sweet potatoes and
squash would keep we'll In such a
place, but hat Is about all. A pit is
also a very good place TO keep most
vegetables. but is rather ~inconvenient.
There are three things TO consider
when storing vegetables for winter
use; they are the temperature, venti-
lation and the moisture. They are
very important. Always keep them in
mind. You VIII either succeed or fail
by the correct or improper manage
ment of these three things. The
germs which are the cause of decay
Ike q high temperature, and most of
them like a poorly ventilated place.
with this in mind, the logical thing
TO do, 1t would seem, would be to keep
the pit or a Y where you are storing
your vegetables dry and as cool as
possible. This, however. you cannot
always do, as some vegetables must
have moisture to preserve their plump
ness and quality, while others must
have heat in order to keep well. For
tunately, 1t seems the vegetables that
require the moisture can be stored at
a very low temperature, and those
that must have heat can be kept in
a dry place. Beets, cabbage, carrots,
parsnips, potatoes. satisfy and turnips
require more or less moisture, but
should be kept at q temperature as
near freezing as possible and yet not
freeze. Squash and sweet potatoes
like a warm. dry atmosphere. Keep
the temperature as near 80 or 60 de-
grees as possible. Onions must be
kept at about 33 or "a degrees and In
q dry place"
