his field plants by the process OF Sc
lection. There Is not a single crop
plant that does not offer a great many
opportunities in this direction.
Corn probably is the best example
Of an agricultural plant In which new
varieties are produced by natural field
crossing. The wind scatters the pollen
Of some corn plants upon the silks Of
others In the same or adjoining fields.
This natural crossing gives rise to the
large number of variations to be found
In the average cornfield.
ANY farmer can begin by selecting
plants In the cornfield-plants showing
superior vigor. stockiness. abundance
OF foliage. ears at right distance from
ground and other equally important
points. ANY farmer can thus originate
his own variety or strain of corn by
careful. rigid and continued selection
carried on year after year BY selec-
ton the farmer Is not creating new
plants. as is the case In crossing. but
he Is saving out that which nature has
provided as the result OF its process OF
crossing.
what has been said OF corn holds
true Of wheat. oats. barley and the
sorghums so far as selection goes. al.
though there is little. II any. crossing
by nature as far as wheat. oats and
barley are concerned. II is easy to
get pure strain In working with the
smaller cereals. as they are naturally
self fortified and seldom crossed by
nature and consequently generally
come true from the seed.
THE sorghums cross freely. Almost

WHEN ARE EGGS TOO HIGH TO
USE7

This question is being asked by
every economical housewife to-day.
There is only one answer. Eggs
are too high to use when the same
food value may be had in other
foods which are cheaper. We all
know that eggs rank very high in
food value. Eggs build up body It's
sue and furnish heat and energy.
To find a good substitute we must
get a dish which has to il about the
same proportion of tissue building
and energy and heat producing ell
cmcnts.
Since eggs are so scarce we must
do away with them as a breakfast
dish. Breakfast is the hardest meal
in the day to get. At that time
each member Of the family is harder
t. please. On these cold days some
thing should be given to produce
heat. at the same time the growing
child needs good proportion of
tissue building food.
Milk compares favorably with
eggs in food value. One egg is
equal to one glass of milk ~ pint
in calories. If the housewife would
remember that cocoa adds very ma
tcrially To- the value of the break
fast. and that tea or coffee add
practically nothing, her family
would he better nourished. Cocoa
il not as easy to make as coffee, but
II costs very little more. one pound
Of coffee costs thirty cents, one box
Of cocoa costs twenty-five cents.
There can he made as many cups oi
cocoa from one box. as there can be-
made cups Of coffee in pound.
Cocoa should boil five minutes be-
fore the milk is added. This is "a
rule often overlooked. Cocoa will
settle to the bottom and taste raw
unless thoroughly cooked. Mix one
tablespoon of cocoa with one table
spoon of sugar ,leyel measurel. Add
one cup hot water and boil five
minutes. Add one cup milk and let
it reach the boiling point but do not
let it boil hard. Add a pinch Of
salt and serve hot. Warmed over
cocoa is even better than freshly
made cocoa.
our cooked cereals furnish us
heat and energy in the main. Raj
sins or dates added to oatmeal or
cream of wheat add to the food val
ne and give some of that mineral
matter the system needs.
The following are breakfast dishes
which give us all eggs would give
in fuel value.

To Sew on Buttons

This Is the way a button should b
sewed on: Take a small stitch. bring
ing the knot on the right side. Run
up through one hole OF the button and
draw II down just over the knot Lay
pin across the button and work the
stitches over the pin. When the button
Is firmly sewed on remove the p'4
Pull the button out from the material
and wind the thread around the
threads between the button and cloth
several times to form a shank. Pass
the needle through 10 the wrong side
and fasten the thread with several
small stitches.
The shank formed makes buttoning
easier and lessons the strain on the
cloth. The knot IL brought up on the
right side and under the button to keep
II from being worn of.

SHORT COURSE IN HIGHWAY
ENGINEERING
To be Held at the University Of Ken.
lucky, Lexington, Kentucky,
February $40, 1877.

i'm Highway Engineering VIII be
held at the University of Kentucky,
Feb. $40 1917, under the auspices
of the College of Civil Engineering
and state Department of Public
Roads. Directed by the Highway
Engineering Department of the Uni
versity. For the past three years,
the School has grown from fifty to
over two hundred.
Purpose of the Course
II will be the purpose of this
Course to advance the cause OF Good
Roads throughout the State OF Ken
lucky. II is expected that County
Engineers, County Judges, Magls-
trates. Road Inspectors and every
one really interested in Good Roads
will attend. A road builder will find
no better place to get ideas than a
place where several hundred road
builders are assembled. The inter-
changing of ideas will more than
offset the trouble and expense OF
being here.
After this one weeks lecture
course has been attended, road men
will be much better fitted to go back
to their work and study their daily
problems.
No one disputes the fact that road
building is yet in its infancy and
that even the most eminent men in
the profession admit that there are a
great many things which they do not
know about the subject, and if a
man would keep at all abreast OF the
times it is necessary for him to
study and find out from others their
mistakes, and void making the
same.
Admission
The University promotes this
course in road building for no other
purpose that that of Education.
No charge is made or fees accepted;
the only requirement for entrance
is to register at the Civil Engineer
ing Building upon arrival. All lee
lures are open to the public.
Course of Study
The entire week. morning, after
noon and night will be taken up with
lectures on subjects pertaining to
construction and reconstruction OF
all types of roads. A large
number of men experienced in
the art of road building
have been secured to give
these lectures. All lectures will be
thirty to forty-five minutes in length
and after the lecture general dis
cussion of the subject will take
place.
