BEAT HIGH FOOD PRICES
Ad Club At Portland, Ore, 10 Conduct.
ING Fresh Fish Market, Sell.
ino At Cost.

Portland, Ore.-Cutting the high cost
of living In q practical Is the
task essayed by the Portland Ad club.
which Is conducting q fresh fish mar.
ket here and selling sen food ut cost.
So popular Is the market that the first
day 1t opened three tons OF fish we're
sold.
Sable fish. groupers, ling, cod and
smelt are sold for five to seven cents
a pound, while other fish markets are
asking twelve to twenty cents for the
same kinds Of fish.
On the opening day a crowd Of wom-
en-, with market baskets, stood before
the doors waiting for the first fish to
be placed on sale. From that time
on sales continued brisk, and the Ad
club, cooperating with the city admin
istration, has under way a plan for a
permanent fish market where oil kinds
Of sea food will be sold at actual cost.
The AID club points out that II
people eat fish the fishing industry will
be promoted and other foods capable
Of being shipped long distances will
be released to help win the war.

stinct. Later when she starts to far
row 1t Is wise to remove much of
the bedding.
The narrowing pen should be
equipped with rails, as shown in the
drawing. These rails may be made Of
2 by 4 pieces nailed SC that they are
parallel with the floor. with six inches
clearance underneath and with four
inches or more between the rail and
the wall. !.
The purpose of this rail as well as
the removal Of superfluous bedding
IL to prevent the SOW from crowding
the little pigs to death. The rail per-
lnits the little fellows to crawl behind
and get out.
Personally I find that "watchful
waiting" Is the best policy with far
rowing brood sows. They usually start
to farrow q few hours after they
commence to make their bed. Then
IN hour or SO spent in caring for the
animals frequently saves several of
the offspring. After two or three pigs
ere narrowed the mother usually gets
up, remakes her bed and turns over.
At this time she pays little attention
to the pigs that have come and It is
best to watch them. After the sow Is

CORRECT WAY TO MILK COWS
scrape Droppiros Into Gutter and
Work Teats and Udders Clean
Keep Hands Smooth.

Before commencing to milk the
droppings of the cows should be
scraped into the gutter and the teats
and udders worked clean and wiped
dry. Always milk with clean hands,
and II your hands IRE hard and rough
keep q cup OF goose grease or hard
and sweet oil at the stable, and once
a day, or before milking, rub a little
on the inside Of your hands; just
enough to make them feel smooth.
Some Of the grease should be rubbed
on the teats IL they are rough n cut
with briars. An expert will milk a
COW giving two gallons OF milk in
five minutes. A steady, even motion,
filling the teat with milk ut every
pressure Of the hands, Is the most
rapid way Of milking and the most
agreeable to the COW.

KEEP TOOLS UNDER SHELTER
Practice Of Leaving Harvesting Ma.

cradle Damage.

Usually there r many who leave
their harvesting machinery out In the
weather for some time after all har-
vesting Is ver Such a practice results
in considerable damage to the binders
and other harvesting machinery. All
farm implements have advanced in
price, and carelessness in taking carr
of them will cause considerable loss.
At no time has the use Of lab~or-saving
machinery been in greater demand on
the farms, and every farmer who has
such machinery should by all means
take the very best care of it. Just as
soon as one has finished using an i'm
plement 1t should be put under shelter
and where it will be kept in good con
dition for the next crop. Binders are
easily broken If left in exposed places,
where wagons and other farm equip
ment are jammed into the same cor
ners. Quite often mowers, binders,
wagons, etc.. are all found in one tam
gled mass In one corner of the shed,
along with the drills and %thyeshing
machines. Such carelessness can only
result in some of the machinery being
damaged. BY caring for such machin-
cry properly the lifetime of the imple-
ments can be doubled.

GROW FAT ON WAR BREAD
Men, Women and Children Seen en-
Streets Seem to BE Better Nour-
ished Than Ever.

London.-The English appear to be
growing fat on war bread. An English
newspaper publishes the following:
although I hate It." writes a cor
respondent in Surrey, "war bread
seems to fatten me, and my weight has
increased by several pounds. Yet I am
eating not much more than half tho
bread ! used to eat before the war, and
also less Of other foods.
A doctor explained that this may be
quite true. anyone who keeps his
eyes open in the streets will notice
that men, women and children are
clearly better nourished than ever. No
doubt" he said. "thcre Is a good deal
Of indigestion from bad bread. but
even people who digest 1t badly, and
dislike 1t, too, grow fatter and phys
ically stronger. This Is especially no
ticeable in spare men Of middle age.
Possibly the explanation Is that we
e eating more bread before than we
could digest. Perhaps. too, the mix
ture OF grains in bread is proving more
nOurishing than the pure wheaton loaf
The stomach likes variety. and the
people who do the best intellectual
work are those who feed on nll avail

We are asked by the president to
Increase the production of our farms.
In the face of the fact that the plea
came almost too late for some farmers
to radically change their plans, the
acreage for cultivated crops has been
wonderfully increased. The five and
ten-acre corners Of stump, or hillside,
land which had previously been con.
sidcred not worth the trouble have
been broke for cultivation.
A few farmers who have every avail.

tent themselves In trying to raise more

can.
In this connection an effort to save
the little pigs at narrowing time is un-
doubtedly a profitable and a patriotic
method conserving the food supply.

And so, France, who had represent
ed to the heroes of-1793 the b~eau-ideal
Of democracy, came gradually to the
fore as the influence In Alsace-Lor-
rhine. Her culture. her ideals and her
citizenship became valued dreams OF
loyal Alsatians. But far of dreams
they seemed; and the Alsatians, Ia
their growing love for the republic,
could not harbor the thought that
France should suffer the throes Of a
war with remorseless Prussia for their
sake. But the war was coming, and
to Alsatians Il means as all observers
agree, q reunion with France.
But, queer enough, the world be-
gins to e that the treaty Of Frank
fort was the germ OF the present holo-
caust, and that 1t leads to the utter
destruction Of Prussian autocracy and

GOOD SYSTEM IS DESIRABLE
Few Farmers Make Plans to Dispose
Of Improbable Fowls-cull Out
Undertakes.

Very few farmers practice a sys-
tematic plan Of ~disposing of their
fowls after they have ceased to be
productive, although 1t Is well known
that fowls Of the heavier breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rocks, cease
to produce q profitable number Of
eggs at the end Of their second laying
year. This holds true Of the lighter
breeds, such MS the Leghorns, at the
end OF their third laying year. Conse-
quently. II efforts were made to dis
pose Of all females when their best
laying days we're over, q large quan-
tity Of poultry meat would be placed
on the market. All poorly developed
chickens should likewise be culled out
and used as meat. This way Of dis
posing Of improbable fowls would
allow the farmer to feed his grain to
younger and more productive fowls.
