MAYOR BL0OM'S IDEA
 lS WELL RECEIVED
Food Administration Likes thc ?Ian of Encouragins Traternal Organ
 izatiNnS tO Plant ln Acres.

Mayor Simon Blooms idea of secur- ing the cooperation of every frater- nal lodge in the country in planting food crops in ten-acre tracts for each lodge, or in conjunction with each ether, has been well received in var ici,s parts of the country, and yester- Gav he received from Jos.

 "Eon Simon Bloom,
 "Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
 Dear sir: Your letters of August :, and September '. last, to Mr. Her bert Hoover have been referred to 9his division for attention, but changes in the personnel and the ne cessity for removing our quarters twice, due to the enormous amount O work involved in the food admins tratioD, added to the fact that most of the officials are volunteers who are unable to devote tnei" entire time to the work in hand, have combined to delay early action.
 "Your idea Of cultivatile small tracts of land through the agency of flaternal organizations, public schools, and otheWise, is excellent and VIC certainly wish you success in the enterprise. This. however, is a matter that. could not be satisfactory ily handled from Washing on, other than by proclamation of the presi- dent, one such was issued last spring and produced great results. and an ether will doubles be issued in due time.
 'We deeply appreciate the entau- siastic interest you Lave manifested in the matetr and earnestly solicit the continuance of the samf."
 Iii response to the suggestions made by Mayor Bloom. the Pine Bluff ledge Of Elks and the Pine Bluff aerie of Eggics, appointed committees to arrange, to secure ten acres each for the purpose of planting foodstuffs next spring.

Primitive Nitrate Working.

The nitrate caves in inc South were worked during the Civil war by very crude methods. Generally the cave earth was shoveled into iron pots, where it was treated with water and soluble parts. The liquor was drawn from one pot into another, and used for treating fresh material until it became a highly concentrated solution of nitrate salts. It was then drawn off and allowed to cool. WhereupOn the nitrate crystalized. The remaining liq- uor was then employed to leach fresh material and the crystals were separ- ated and sacked for use.

As It Should Be.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of e@ch other. It is the place of confidence :; it is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious cold ness which this world forces us to war in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communica- lions of full and confding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of ten. derness gush out without any sensa- ton of awkwardness, and without any dread of ridicule.-F. w. Robertson.

Feeding the COW well before calving
insures a strong, healthy calf. The
best time to ween the calf is after it
takes the first milk. Early weaving
makes II easier to teach the calf to
drink.
Everything about the calf should be
scrupulously clean.
Milk from infected cows or from a
creamery should be pasteurized be-
fore 1t is fed.
Calves should be fed sweet milk of
a uniform temperature and should al
ways receive little less than they
desire.
All calves should be fed regularly;
very young calves should be fed
three times day.
At first the calf is fed whole milk,
the quantity being gradually In
creased. Skim milk is substituted as
soon as practicable and II cheap Is
continued until the calf is six months
old Ordinarily the maximum quantity
Of skim milk that can be fed econom-
ically is 20 pounds a day. When the
calf is two weeks old, grain and
bright, clean hay should be offered /:
the quantity fed should be increased
as the calls appetite demands.
Milk substitutes are not equal to
milk. but give fair results when used
with care.
Quarters must be clean and dry

Have the rats ever bothered your

DESTROY food.
Bnoil moderately thick steak, and.
while it is still hot, spread over it
about one-half can of good rat paste.
BY putting this paste on while the
steak is hot, it seaks in and the rats
are unable to detect it. The steak
afterwards should be cut in small
pieces about half inch square and put
in box where the rats frequent. One
application is usually sufficient to
clean up the rats in the neighborhood.
Before putting out this treatment,
however, be sure to advise your neigh
