DELICIOUS DISHES OF RICE
Five Suggestions for Those Who Arc
Fond Of the Cheap and Appe.
tizing Cereal.

To Boil Rice.-Pick over one cupful
of rice, wash in two waters, drop In
one quart of boiled sailed water, cook
slowly on back of stove. Never stir,
and when done each kernel will stand
alone. Pour into colander and set on
coolest part Of stove. 1t should be
boiled in an open stewpan. One table
spoonful of lemon juice added to water
in which rice is boiling makes 1t very
white and keeps kernels separate.
Rice OmeIet.-Beat one cupful boiled
rice and two cupfuls of milk In a
smooth paste. Add two eggs we'll beat
en-, salt and pepper. Fry until brown.
cover with powdered sugar and serve
at once.
Rice Croquettes.-Put over fire in
double boiler one pint of milk and one
half cupful of washed rice. Cook till
thick, add the yolks of two eggs, one
half teaspoOnful Of salt and two table
spoonfuls of sugar. Remove from fire,
beat till smooth, add one-half teaspoon
full vanilla, bay leaf boiled in rice
and milk removed as soon as slight
flavor is given to add to daintiness OF
seasoning. Spread all on fiat dish,
and when cold form into cone shape.
Dip in egg, then in crumbs and cook in
boiling fat. This makes IL croquettes.
Rice Bread.-One tumbler rice flour,
one and one-half gills Of milk, one egg,
two teaspoonfuls butter, one table
spoonful cooked hominy, the white OF
one egg beaten separately and added
last. Bake three-Quarters of an hour.
Rice Cornbread.-One pint boiled
rice, one pint cOrnmeal, one dessert
spoonful lard, one pint sour milk, two
eggs beaten well.

FLAVORING OF HIGN VALUE
Cook Who Is ProdIgaI in Il > US Of
Celery Will Find She Has
Made No Mistake.

Celery should be used as frequently
delicious flavor, but because it is one
of the few vegetables possessing so
many highly valuable chemical salts.
Indeed, it has been declared very
often that celery has direct curative
properties for the nervous, rheumatic
or neuralgia person. Incidentally,
there is practically no waste to celery
every bit of it can be used.
OF course, we know best the use Of
the delicate inside stalks, for salads
and filings. But the outside stalks,
even though not perfect enough in ap-
pearance for service in the raw, should
not be neglected, but stewed or used
In the making Of soup. The trimmings,
too, leaves, imperfect stalks, can be
added 10 broths, soups, or used to help
flavor other dishes. The addition of
little chopped celery to any kind of
meat or vegetable dish is sure to i'm
prove its flavor.
If celery is not used Immediately, 1t
should be wrapped In paper and kept
in cool place, and it will then remain
in perfect condition for many days.
Two cupfuls Of chestnuts, two cup
fuls Of celery, four cupfuls of milk,
two tablespOonfuls Of butter. Small
onion, carrot, salt, four cloves.
Chop the celery, onion and carrot
and brown in butter add milk and
cloves and allow to stew for about one
hour.
Blanch chestnuts and boil ten min
utes. Drain and stew for half an hour
in one-half of the celery liquor that
has been stewing. Then press through
a cOlander and pour into the remain
Ing celery and-milk mixture and cook
FOR ten minutes. Serve hot and, If de-
sired, garnish with a few whole-cooked
,hestnuts.

SPREAD HOG CHOLERA GERMS
Pigeons Carry Infection on Feet From
One Farm to Another and In
feet Neighborhood.

Unconfined pigeons flying from farm
to farm frequently carry the germs Of
hog cholera on their feet and infect
a neighborhood which is then at a
loss to understand how the outbreak
of cholera came about.
The same is true of buZzards. On
several occasions when Investigations
of sources of hog cholera infections
were made by veterinarian the buzz
card was found to be to blame. Statis-
tics published show that pigeons are
responsible for about 20 per cent Of
the spread of hog cholera and it is
estimated that they caused in this way
in 1915 about $15,OO0,0O0 damage in
the United States.

Tile DRAIN CHEAPEST
Much Money Wasted in Construc-
tion of Open Systems.
Closed Water Course, If Properly In
stalled, Requires Very Little At
tention as Far as Maintenance

(By e. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collns.)
Many farmers are labOring under
the mistaken notion that closed
drain is much more expensive than an
open drain, and are therefore wasting
money in the construction Of many
small open drains. The fact Of the
matter is, that in the majority of
cases, especially where tile less than
one foot in diameter Is required, the
closed drain is the cheapest. The
slope of the banks of an open drain
should not be less than 1 to l, and
the drain should be in most cases,

Keep the stables clean and well
bedded; bedding helps TO keep the
stock warm and comfortable, it saves
feed and large quantity of excellent
manure is made. The improved steel
tie is the best halter. 1t gives more
freedom to the animal, it is easy to
fasten and easy to release the animal.
Attention to Horses.
Give horses rOOmy stalls, bed well,
clean the stables every morning, have
the stables well lighted and ventilated.
Feed according to work required Bran
and cOrnmeal, half and half by weight
is excellent as winter feed, mixed in
cut hay or unthrashed oats. Have head
halters with weight on the end of each
strOp, then there is no danger of horse
being cut in his stall.
Keep road horses well shod with
heavy shoes and thick caulks, that may
be sharpened whenever it is icy.
Brood sows should not be kept in
small, dirty pens and yards; give
them small lot to exercise in; they

KEEP STOCK COMFORTABLE DURING WINTER

The cattle should be stabbed /;
there is no strength in frosted grass
or fodder. Young cattle do better
when kept in open yards, with deep,
well-bedded sheds to go under.
Cows giving milk should be stabbed
and given producing food. One
of the best foods for either mich cows
or fattening cattle is dried sugar beetS
1t comes in 200-pOund sacks. One-half
peck of 1t soaked in water for few
hours, mixed with two quarts of wheat
bran and one quart of corn and cob
meal makes an excellent mornings
meal for COW. Some milk farmers
are feeding sugar beets, corn and
cObmeal, ensilage and mixed hay, buy
Ing little grain. On this ration the
cows keep in good flesh and give
good quantity of milk.
Personal Attention.
Every animal should be at least
well looked at by the farmer per-
sonally every day. The more care

New York.-As far back as one can
look into the annals of American
fashions, the possession of a sealskin
coat was accounted supreme happi-
ness. The woman who had such a
garment, linked with a pair of dla-
mOnd earrings, either strutted in her
vanity or tried to look unconscious of
the envy of her neighbors.
Other times, other wishes. Three
decades have passed since the seal
skin coat was a desirable possession,
and the diamond earrings swinging
from long loop that went through
pierced hole in the ear speedily sank
into that blackness of barbarism from
which it had sprung.
The fur coat and the diamond ear
ring are with us again, and again hui
man nature responds to the same old
call. They are not in the shape in
which they prevailed for so many dec
AIDES among our best families. Look
ing back on the pierced ear with
its pendant bauble, we have shud-
der Of horror to think that enlight-
ened and Christian nations should
have really permitted their women to
retain this bit of savagery without
bitter protest.

as children, and possibly we did, too,

If we were born before the barbarism
was abolished.
There are thousands Of us now who
bear those scars. We cover them up
with tabs of hair or, better still, with
ornaments that clamp over the ear,
just to hide the ravages Of an earlier
epoch.
We have not given up the barbaric
baubles; the world Is too young to
ask that denial of women. The elm
inatiOn of cOlOred stones, cheap and
precious, may come as civic life
presses itself more insistently into the
social scale and women will do as men
have done In giving up all that Is Or

barbaric.
Elemental and Primitive.
After ALL we are elemental and prim-
Tive in our clothes. We may change
the symptoms, but the deep-seated dis
ease is there. What woman Is there
who doesn't want to wear peltry?
Those companions of the Paleolithic
men in Europe probably received mas
sive peltry as marriage gifts.
Men have always been Hunters Of
game. and women have always been
wearers of skins. Therefore how can
we expect to change primitive instinct
merely because we have changed our
behavior? And then, there Is nothing
else that keeps one so warn, as peltry,
one may argue. This reasoning, how
ever, has little to do with the fact.

8 feet deep. Figuring an open drain
of this size and comparing the cost of
the same with a 1O-inch tile drain, we
find that they are just about equal.
The cost Of the construction, how
ever, is not the only thing to be taken
into consideration, but the main
tenance Of the system is also Of great
Importance. In the case Of the open
drain, we have conditions exactly right
for the rank growth of vegetation,
and the open drain continually needs
attention. The cost Of maintenance
therefore is high. The closed-tile
drain, on the other hand, if properly
installed, requires very little attention
as far as maintenance Is concerned,
and in the end is cheaper than the
open drain.
Open drains have their place and
serve their purpose well when prop
erly used, but they should be con-
structed for outlets Of larger drain
systems where tile would be out of
the question on account Of the large
size necessary. They are, however,
entirely out of place when constructed
as lateral drains for individual
farms.

Place Too Lonesome
For Radio Station
So Naval Officer Said When He Gave
The MoIokai Plant The Once Over
- Station Has Saved Lives And
Property Under Private Ownership

Molokai is to have no wireless ser
vice under the management OF the
navy department because 1t Is TOO
lonesome over there for the operators
AT last that is as near reason as
any given as to why the TWO youhs
men destined for the Molokai station
were landed with bag and baggage
and later taken aboard the boat again.
The young officer who was posslhg
things, clearly didn't like the looks OF
the place, and was impressed by the
long faces of the two youths who had
been told off for duty there. This oc-
cured early last week.
Important Station
The importance of the station was
urged by Superintendent ]. A. Balch,
of the Mutual Telephone Company
which controlled the wireless business
of the Islands before the war While
the station has not been a money
maker, Mr.. Balch says, it has report
ed upwards of a dozen wrecks, and
on numerous occasions has been OF
almost vital importance in other ways.
Apparently the sole power of de-
cision in the matter rested with the
young lieutenant, and he made up ms
mind in very few minutes after siz-
ing up the scenery about the Molokai
station,
Manuel de Coito, Jr., the Mutual
operator, who held down the job for
a number of year, and who incidentally
did a good deal of other work for the
Molokai Ranch as well, failed to pass
the physical examination for enlist
ment in the naval service, 1t is report
ed. He was willing to remain on Mo

Talk Of County Agent Would Be
Duplication Of Work High Praise
For KrauSS OF Haiku Station

If plans of the federal experiment
station work out as desired, Maui may
soon have the benefit of another ex-
pert agriculturist working through the
Haiku-sub station. This was indicat-
ed at meeting of the county fair and
racing association held last Friday
afternoon by F. G.. Krauss, in charge
of the Maui station, and came out in
connection with the discussion of the
proposed plans for employing a coun-
ty agent by the association, or other
wise.
AS result of this statement the
county agent plan was dropped.
Hawaii Expert May Come
Mr.. Krauss stated that the Hawaii
experiment station is hoping to induce
j. B. Thompson, superintendent of the
Glenwood experiment farm, on Hawaii
to come to Maui Mr.. Thompson, he
said, is about to leave Hawaii and
might return to the mainland unless
he can be persuaded TO come here. In
such event Mr.. Krauss will spend
more of his time in Honolulu
Mr.. Krauss indicated that if Mr.
Thompson comes, he would be in posi-
tion to fill in large measure the place
of the proposed county agent in gett
ing about among the farmers of Kula
and other parts of the island and help
ing them in their difficulties.
High Praise For krauss
On the presumption that the county
agent idea. which had been proposed
| by l. r. Mathews, of the Alexander
House Settlement, might be slam
at Krauss Harold Rice and Other
members at the meeting paid extreme
| ly high tribute to the Haiku agricul
turist, whose painstaking and consci
entious work for the past five years
on Maui has won the confidence ant
admiration of those who have CONS
in contract with him.
Mr.. Mathews and others repudiateC
the suggestion that there had beer
any thought back of the county agen
idea other than that of enlarging the
scope of scientific agricultural work il
the county.
