SAVE the WASTE
IS hoOvER's Plea
Meat Once . Day .ad 0ae Whsatlsss
Day 4 Week Is Urged. Eat
More Vegetables.

Washington, July ia million
American women, it is announced,
have signed pledges to follow the
food conservation directions of the
food administration, Within the
next three weeks the administration
hopes to enroll every woman in the
United States.
The first list of directions have
been sent out to be posted in the
kitchen of women who have joined
the administration. They follow:
Zone wheatless meal day. Use
corn, oatmeal, rye or barley bread
and non-wheat breakfast foods. Or
der bread. "a hours in advance so
your baker will not bake beyond his
needs. Cut the loaf on the table and
only as required. Use stale bread
for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less
cake and pastry.
Beef mutton or pork not more
than once daily. Use freely vegeta-
,, bles and fish. At the meat meal
serve smaller portions and stew in
stead of steaks. Make dishes of all
left-overs. Do this and there will
be meat enough for everyone at a
reasonable price.
"Save the milk. The children must
have milk. Use every drop. Use
buttermilk and sour milk for cooking
and making cottage cheese. Use less
cream. Save the fats. We are the
worlds greatest fat wasters. Fat is
food. Butter is essential for the
growth and health of children. Use
butter on the table as usual but not
in cooking. Other fats are as good.
Reduce use of fried foods. Soap con-
tains fats. Do not waste it. Make
YOUR own washing soap at home out
of the saved fats.
"Save the sugar. Sugar is scar
GER. We use today three times as
much per person as our allies. So
there may be enough for all at rea-
Sonable price, use less candy and
sweet drinks. Do not stint sugar in
putting up fruit and jams. They
will save butter.
Save the fuel Coal comes from 4
distance and our railways are over
burdened hauling war material. Hello
relieve them by burning fewer fires.
"Use wood when you can get it.
Fruits and vegetables we have in
abundance. AS a nation we eat too
little green stuffs. Double their use
and improve your health. Store po-
tatoes and other roots properly and
they will keep. Begin now to can
or dry all surplus garden products.
"Patronize your local producer.
Distance means money. Buy perish
able food from the neighborhood
nearest you and thus save transpor-
tation.
General rules: Buy less, serve
smaller portions; preach the gospel
of the. clean plate; don't eat fourth
meal; don't limit the plain food of
growing children; watch out for the
wastes in the community; full gar
bage pals in America mean empty
dinner pals in America and Europe;
if the more fortunate of our people
will avoid waste and eat no more
than they need, the high cost of liv-
ing problem of the less fortunate
will be solved" Duluth News Tribune

Save Coal.

Never allow the house to be over
heated, so that it is necessary to
open all the windows and be forced
to cool it off. This wastes fuel.
If the house is not occupied dur
inng a large part of the day. ar.
range, if possible to allow it to re-
main cool during that period.
Get the full heat value of every
pound of coal by learning how to
care for the furnace. If you do
not tend the furnace yourself, take
an interest in how it is done, and
see that it is done properly.
Chimney and furnace pipes
should always be kept clean to get
the best results.
Don't smother low fire by adj
ding too much fresh fuel at one
time. Build it up gradually.
Always carry a deep, or night
fire. In mild weather have from
four to six inches of ashes OH the
CRATE. This lessons the draft thru
the fire and causes slower fuel
consumption. Don't shake or poke
the fire too much-just enough 10
make room for the adding of
enough fresh coal to keep the fire
going.
When putting on several shovel
fuls of coal, as in banking a fire
for the night. leave part of tn.
fire exposed so that any gases from
the coal will be consumed.
In severe weather. keep tn"
CRATE clear of ashes, so there will
be steady draft thru the fire.
This means heat. Before rtirin.
at night give the fire careful at
tention.
Don't let ashes bank up in the
ash pit. This cuts off the air sup
ply thru the fire and it is liable ia
burn out the CRATES. Make it :.
rule to remove ashes once a dav
and never when hot.
Spray the ashes and ash pit with
Il hose. 1t keeps down the dust. an,!
a damp ash pit means more heat.
DO not clean Il fire from the top
Large clinkers should occur sci
dom, when the drafts are given
proper attention and water is kept
in the ash pit. They should be re-
moved preferably thru the cIinkcr
door or by shaking and dumping
the CRATE, but, if necessary, thru,
the feed door. The fire should thei,
be properly levellcd.

Wound Healing.

The only thing that can heal a
wound is the healing power con-
tanned in the tissues. All man can
do is to aid in providing the con-
ditions that will aid the healing
process. In the early stages of 4;
wound even the flushing with ant
iseptic solutions can not equal the
efficiency of the tissues own action.
In day or so when the tissues
have adjusted themselves to the
changed conditions, the use of mild
antiseptic fluids is of great value
TO the control of infection, but in
the beginning their use should be
confined to thorough cleansing OF
the parts adjacent to the wollna
proper. Cleanliness is the most I'M
portant factor in the management.
OF a wound and its surroundings
should be included in the process.
1T is usually not best to bandagr a
wound. When uncovered il will
dry out. The germs that make
trouble in a wound need moisture.
In some cases bandaging is ncces-
sary. If flies bother the wound.
dust on a powder made of l part
lodoform and 4 parts boracic acid.
A pepper or spice box is handy for
applying it. The wound should
have drainage SO that any pus or
moisture can run out or it may
give rise to infection that will
spread to other parts of the body.
1t IS sometimes necessary to make
an extra opening at the lower part
of wound.

ventIlate the Corn Crib.

Nentilating the corn crib is an
easy matter 10 be worked out and
is of great value when corn is not
thoroughly matured. 1t has been
found by a number of farmers in
the vicinity of Grand Forks thai,
THIS years corn contains Il large
amount Of water and portion Of

corn is likely to heat and mould in
the crib, supporting the pole firmly

can be lessened by spreading the
corn out to dry before putting
away permanently for the winter.
The crib should be ventilated to
allow circulation of air SO that
heating will not take place. This
can be done by running poles
lengthwise through the center of
the crib, supporting the fimrmly
at the ends and middle so that
they will not sag. A crib five

poles through the center and an
other pole when the crib is two
thirds full.
The poles otr timbers may be run
across the crib if more convenient,
separating them at the ends by
crosspieces OH the studdings. The
object of the poles is to hold up the
corn and to make an opening for
air to pass through. These open.

materially in evaporating the sur

Exercise and Ventilation for
Poultry,

With the price of all kinds of
meat sky high and meat hard to
get in a great many cases and the
prospect of a farther shortage the
Food Administration has made
statements to the effect that HI
citizens should use more poultry.
In view of this fact, 1t is necessary
that the poultry in North Dakota
be given the best of care through
the winter SO that a large number
of good hens will be ready to hatch
sound chicks in the spring.
One Of the most essential ways
of keeping chickens through the
winter is by exercising them and
giving them plenty of fresh air, az

ers have much difficulty in keep
ing fowls over winter just because
of these two things. which they
lack.
Hens must eat large amount
of food to produc" eggs and it is
necessary to keep the body of til"

serious trouble. The front of the

Trapping Profitable.

Aside from being one of the most
hea'>hful and enjoyable sports for
a large number of persons, trapp-
ing is also Il profitable pastimc Or
even IL paying occupation in the
winter tlnle if it is done r.ght.
Practically every boy on the farm
can find a place to trap some an
lmaIs. such as fox, muskrat, beaver.
skunk, etc, and by taking pains TO
cure the pelts, can make good mon
ry for his time.
Skunks are numerous in North
Dakota and the pr.ce paid by hide
and fur companies for the pclts
are high. therefore, the North Oak.
ota Development League at Grand
Forks has decided to give few
pointers on the trapping of this
aniYal which is more or less pes;
around the chicken coop.
Experienced trappers usually
catch the skunk by placing Il steel
trap at the entrance of the dcns.
These traps must be carefully
placed and the earth at the en-
rtance of the hole should not be
disturbed amy more than is nee
essary. Fish oil bait is used in y
great many cases so that the scent
OF th. human body will not De left
on the trap our ground. Persons
who are not experienced in SKIM
ing the animals can secure informa
ton as to how to do this from any
fur buying establishment without
and if the process is carried out as
described in their books, the skins
will worth Il great deal more than
ii they IRE carelessly stripped Off
One OF the most interesting feat.
'lres looked foreward to in western
North Dakota is the fact that the
closed season Oh beavers will be
opened the first of the year and
next january he animals can be-
lawfully caught i'm the state. The
season for beavers i'm North Dakota
has been closed for Il number of
years because Of the fact that they
were almost extinct. For some
time past, however, the beavers
have been causing a great deal of
damage in western North Dakota.
In some places groves have been
entirely destroyed by the animals:
hundreds of feet of valuable tim
Der has been cut down and large
dams have been built across streams
causing floods to damage thousands
of acres of good farming land. For
these reasons western farmers have
complained and protested strongly
ly to the Government that the sea
son has been opened for a short
time in 1918. Beaver pclts are of
great value and it is anticipated
by old timers of the state that as
much interest will be taken in the
ncaver trapping next year as was
taken in the early days of North
dakota.
