Letters From the People.
F. W. CARTER ON OATS.

Editor News: I was much interested in your editorial in last weeks News about licensing cats. have advocated this plan for several years and know that many are inclined to consider it 8 first class joke. but all the same il seems to me that it is bound to come when the intelligent people of Connect. icut really appreciate what it means. Your point as to the responsibility of | the owner of the cat and his liability to a smart fine for killing any of the commonest song birds, while he Cor she) may keep a drove of cats which kill bunch every day, is most in consistent state of affairs.
 have known of cats, and doubtless you have also, which are of the great est value to the farmer and to all vegetation.
 It is not matter of sentiment but of hard practical fact that means a serious loss in dollars and cents, far exceeding any good that comes from the destruction of mice and rats which often thrive in the same households with the cats
 You will be interested to know that Pasadena has recently put into force an ordinance requiring licensing of all cats and you would be surprised to know how many cats have been dis. covered in this one city. The official who looks after the matter has already taken over HOO stray cats and some 1900 have been licensed, but he esti- mates that there are not less than TO-, [. 900 cats in or near this city!
 Cats that are taken by the catcher are kept for limited time the same as dogs and may be redeemed or adopt. ed" if wanted by responsible parties. The license fee is fifty cents-not at all exorbitant
 I hope that some measure may be adopted by the Connecticut legislature in this direction, and if it is poss ible to have "local option," so to say, as seems to be the case in California, it may be possible for communities to bring it about.
 From the reports of the weather in Canaan, Norfolk and intermediate stations, as given in the local papers, I think we are quite near enough mean. time and will remain among the oranges and roses little longer!
 With all best wishes, am
 Cordially yours,
 H. W. Garter.

PLANNING THE GARDEN.

Uncle Sam has been distributing his annual installment of garden and flower seeds, which is one of the first signs that point tc spring.
 It may seem a little early to think of making gardens, but it is none too early to do the head work and pre-. liminary planning. Many a family now paying $3 and $4 bushel for potatoes wish that they had raised enough last season for their present needs, which many could easily have done in their back yards. Doubtless this will be done next season, and now is the time to decide what, where and how.
 C There is a feeling of security and satisfaction in the knowledge that lot of nice vegetables are under our roof when the "winter of our discontent'' closes in upon us, and, too, they seem to taste little better because they are -four own make."
 Among those which may be raised and stored for winter use are beans, beets, cabbage, carrot, celery, parsnips, potatoes, onions, salsify, Hubbard squash, turnlp. Sweet corn, tomatoes and peas may be put up in cans.
 Would not the high cost of living get severe knock if everyone made it a point to get these things from the ground instead of the market?
 The above list embraces only the winter vegetables, but think of the good things hat come fresh from the garden in the summer; and, last but noC least, ono Ion Of seeing tne things grow, and the good health that comes from digging in the dirt.

RICE AS FOOD.

Editor of The News: In these times of food charges it might help to publish this cheap and very good dish depend. ing as it does, upon the right way of cooking rice. Rice is generally gluey mess because we don't understand how to prepare it.
 A ten cent dish fer four people.
 One cup rice, washed clear and dried drop into three cups of boiling water and scant teaspoon salt. Boil fifteen minutes, pot partially covered. If cooked over gas or oil place a mat un. der pot. The water will be absorbed entirely, remove to back of stove and let steam or dry for twenty minutes.
 Gut up into thinnest shre Is or scraps as much as two good slices of bacon. Brown these in a large spider, or fry ing pan, turn the rice into this, fry for five minutes, the pan still over the fire, 'ift an7 t1vn the vice slowly CrI cG-e. fully with a large wooden foIk. Add back pepper if desired and serve hot.

DIARIES FOR FARM ACCOUNTS.

A number of ways in which farmers may use a diary in keeping accounts of their farm business are suggested in a new Farmers Bulletin, No 7S2, pre-. pared by the Office of Farm Manage. ment, United States Department of Agriculture. Many successful farmers, it is said, have found that diary Is sufficient to enable them to keep track of their affairs without compelling them to devote an undue amount of time to elaborate accounts. There ,are two classes of records in which no farmer is particularly interested: CD Receipts and expenditures; and (2) the records of work and production, such as the dates of planting and of harvest. ing, crop yields, livestock, feed, etc. In many cases the dairy has been found to be the most convenient means of keeping these records. The new bulle. tin contains a number of blank forms and other information in regard to the use of the diary in this connection.

 world alone, the past alignments of races and the na. tional boundaries form interesting sub jects for close study and investiga tions. The outbreak of the war gave new scope to latent aspirations and opened up possibilities scarcely dream ed of before A knowledge of the past is necessary for estimating changes pos sible at this stage or for grasping their significance when they come. It is as stunned that there will be new groupings of the powers for purposes only to be conjectured at present. Some publi- cists predict that these groupings viii be coincidental with or follow shiftings of national boundaries due to treaty deals-the handing of peoples from one sovereignty to another" Turkey is due for a new phase. Either she will be strengthened and confirmed in her former sphere or narrowed and con- fined in a reduced Asiatic realm. 4 well nigh world concert agrees that Poland shall be united and free. This means the detachment of large cen tral area from Russia and big slice from both Prussia and Austria. It is assumed that, whatever fate befalls the German empire, the German states will remain intact. The chief of these are Prussia, Bavaria and Wuerttemberg With the great powers exhausted by war, the smaller ones remaining neu- tral, like Spain, Sweden, Denmark and Holland, will acquire new importance in world affairs and possibly in world councils. The completion of the world map may be delayed until long after the big war ends, but the making of it is now going on, and that, thanks to the printing press, right under the eyes of the whole enlightened world.

 Cost. recently for the
 conservation of an- imal food material said that as a source of animal protein the "often condemned, rarely appreciated skim milk is even cheaper than whole milk. He argued that laws misdirected or mis- applied have prejudiced the uninitiat- ed against skimmilk and brought upon it ''undeserved and unintelligent oppro- brium." The sale of it is discouraged generally throughout the country and prohibited altogether in some cities, whereas, to quote this authority, "it is a valuable food product, a cheap source OI dulndI protein III q peculiarly ulSeS- tible form and most valuable culinary adjunct" It is estimated that 30,000,- O0O,OO0 pounds of this nutritious food is practically banished from the human diet in this country annually. Skim milk contains about five times the food units of beef and poultry, nearly twice the amount in whole milk and a trif1e more than buttermilk. Tests have proved that cents worth of bread and skimmilk yield as many calOries as 15 to 20 cents worth of soup, meat, vege- tables and bread, with nearly double the amount of protein. It is pointed out that most of the imported cheeses used here as food in place of butter and meat are made from skinned or partially skinned milk. Whole milk is cheap food for those who can take it by the glass or bowlful. Skimmilk is much cheaper and is digestible in quan- tity by those who cannot digest whole milk. Skimmilk usually sells for half price
