DAIRY PROBLEMS

How can the dairy farmer use the
state agricultural college? Many per.
sons think Of an agricultural college
only as place where students are
trained in modern methods of farming.
There are many ways, however, in
which the farmer can get some value
out OF the agricultural college by mere.
ly sending postal card request.
Some Of the ways in which the
dairy department Of Oklahoma Agri.
cultural and Mechanical College can
help the farmers of the state are as
follows:
The department OF dairying can be
of assistance to the farmers along the
following lines;
l. Testing milk.-Farmers who de.
sire to know whether individual cows
are making profit can send samples
OF milk to the department TO be test.
ed for butter fat. Such tests are free.
2, Testing cream and skimmilk-
| Purchasers Of cream separators fire..
I quently desire tests to prove whether
they are getting efficiency from their
separatOrs. The department will
make free tests OF cream and skimmilk
and advise the farmer how to use the
separator efficiently
3. Testing cream for cream station
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS often arise
between farmers and cream stations
as to accuracy of tests In cases where
both sides to the argument sign an
agreement to submit the matter to
the dairy department tests will be
made to check the accuracy OF the
work done at the cream station.
T. Dairy associaticns.-Plans and
suggestions for COW testing associa.
tions, breeders associations, and co.
operative creameries will be furnish.
ed on request

The Mayors Proclamation.

Conforming to the trend the nation
, over toward vacant lot gardening, May.
or Roberts has issued the following
proclamation:
THE American nation is at war
as one of the allies, and a member
of the great entente each member
having its duty to perform, to fasten
upon the world, worldwide and last.
ing peace. The great duty resting
upon America Is to feed the armies in
this titanic struggle. Russa's gran
airy is exhausted, and the great gran.
airy of the world, the middle west of
the United States, is strained to its
utmost capacity to perform its func-
tion, in feeding the nation with the
additional burden of feeding the world.
Every inch of ground is being
requisitioned to yield forth its abund
ance. The lawns before the palaces
of royalty in Europe and England
are now being planted in foodstuffs,
and the forests of England, that are
hoary with age, and saw scenes not
recorded in history have been felled.
that food may be furnished to the
people.
I'm this nation, the earth is being
called to yield OF its fulness, and to
furnish man with sustenance. Cities.
towns and villages are utilizing each
available inch of ground for food
stuffs. By the side OF tall majestic
buildings in many of the large cities.
are now being grown potatoes, vege-
tables. and other foodstuffs, and side
by side stand monuments to the gem
ius of man in the stately buildings.
and the goodness of God in the green
and growing foodstuffs.
Now therefore, |, w. r. Roberts,
mayor Of the city of Ardmore. do
now proclaim and call upon the peo-
pie of Ardmore to at once begin the
cultivation Of every vacant lot in
the city, and plant therein vegetables
and foodstuffs, and for those who
"own no foot of land" | call upon
their more fortunate neighbors to al.
low them the chance and opportunity
to plant vacant lot as garden for
the support Of their families And
| do further proclaim that on all park
ways of this city, that the occupant
of the home adjoining, shall have the
right to use such parkways, and to
plant therein vegetables and food.
stuffs, and especially do ask the oc.
cupants adjacent to such parkways
to Immediately begin such planting
where the same are not sodded, and
do give the right to spade up such
parkways to those entitled to their
use.
81 further call upon the citizens of
ArdmOre, to use every endeayor to
contribute to the support Of the city
and the nation by planting such gard.
ems and to begin the planting at once.

dent w. c. Richards. The gardens
range in size from a small tract to

ishes, beans, onions, lettuce, toma-
toes and potatoes are some of the
common garden vegetables planted.
Home gardening for the pupils this
year has Leen agitated by Superinten

started the garden campaign by in.
structing his teachers to encourage
the pupils in the family garden. Home
gardens are to be preferred to school
gardens he says Few vegetables
can be raised by the time school is
out in the spring. In the home gard
en-, more vegetables can be raised and
cultivation can be extended into the
summer months"
Parents have co-operated in the
home garden idea and have provided
ground for the children.

SANDWICH RECIPES

For hasty lunch, sandwiches are
universally popular. The average
housewife is continually on the alert
for new and appetizing methods of
preparing sandwiches for the school
lunch, for picnics or for informal en-
tertainments The following direc-
tions and recipes are supplied by
Misses Emma A. Chandler and Mar
tina II. McPheeters, home economics
experts OF the Extension Division Of
Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechani.
cal College:
In preparing bread for sandwiches,
cut slices thin and even. The bread
should be at least twenty-four hours
old. Butter, If beaten to a cream be-
fore using, will spread more evenly
and the same amount OF butter will
cover more sandwiches. The crusts
may or may not be removed. Varia'
tion in sandwiches may be made in
the filling, the different kinds of bread
used, and the various shapes into
which they are cut. We should re.
member that, no matter how simple
and inexpensive the sandwich, it
should always be attractive and appe.
tizing in appearance.
Bread and Butter Sandwiches.
Cream butter and spread over thin
slices of bread. Cut in triangles
Lettuce Sandwiches.
Place a leaf of tender lettuce be.
tween a bread and butter sandwich.
Cut in oblong shape.
Date Filling.
Wash, stone and grind dates through
the food chopper. Mix to paste,
using onehalf lemon juice and one.
half water, To one box of dates use
one-halt cup chopped nut meats. Mix
together and spread on thin slices OF
graham or brown bread. These are
especially good served with tea

Chop remnants OF cold chicken, put

Pimento Cheese Sandwiches.
Crate the cheese and mix with boil.
ed salad dressing or cream until thin
enough to spread. Chop pimento pep.
pers, or green peppers, very fine and
add to the cheese mixture. Cottage
cheese sandwich filling made in the
same way is very good indeed. Can.
ned pimento peppers may be obtained
at any grocery store

PLANS FOR Raisinr Armies.

Washington, April 6--After proclaim
ing state of war the president this
afternoon issued the following state
ment regarding the means to be chosen
to raise the army of two million asked
for by the war heads last night:
"The principles embodied in the leg
islation presented by the war depart
ment to the military committees OF the
senate and house have my entire APP
proval, and its specific recommends
tons embodied, in that it is best judg-
ment of the officers of the war depart
ment
cit proposes to raise the forces neces-
sary to meet the present emergency by
bringing the regular army and national
! guard to war strength and by adding
the additional forces which win now
be needed so that the national guard
will comprise three elements-the regu-
lar army, the national guard and the so
called additional forces, of which first
five hundred thousand are to be auth
orized Immediately and later increments
of the same size as tSey may be needed
in order that all these forces may com

"The necessary men viii be secured
for the regular army and the national

til, in the judgment of the president a
resort to a selective draft is desired.

"The additional forces, however. are

men ranging in age from 10 to % years.
"The quotas of the several states in
fall of these forces win he in proper
tion to their population.
"This legislation makes no attempt
to solve the question of permanent
military policy for the country, chiefly
for the reason that in these anxious and
disordered times clear view cannot be
had either of our permanent necessities
or of the best mode of organizing the
proper military peace establishment.
The hope of the world is that when the
European war is over arrangements will
have been made composing many of the

that in some ordered and Just way the
peace Of the world may be maintained

tice and democracy.

ed to the present situation, but il is
drawn upon such lines as win enable us
