How to Cook
Rhubarb Sauce

This question was asked several weeks
ago; rs It possible TO cook rhubarb
sauce so that each piece will hold its
shape"
] did not know tha, il could be done.
bu, Mrs ! R. G., Oklahoma City, sent
in the following recipe which will make
it perfect
Peel the stalks Of rhuharb, and cut in
pieces an inch long Steam IN an alum
mum or granite steamer until tender.
Make very thick sirup by using the
water under the rhubafb, and equal part
OF sugar. When this has cooked suiii-
ciently, pour over the rhubarb and
serve"
Rhubarb canned in ice water will
allow uS this perfect sauce anytime
during the year, as It holds us form en-
,lrely canned by this method, which is
as follows Pack a thoroughly washed
jar with rhubarh, either peeled or not
and cut in small pieces or left in long
stalks Fill the jar iull to running over
with ice water, add one fourth teaspoon
Of salt. put new rubber in place, use a
new lid and seal securely
This does not require cooking, as the
ice water re,ardS the growth OF bacteria
until the acid in the rhubarb is set free,
which ACTS as Steriliring agent A
perfect seal is the only requirement.

FARMERS ON JOB
Kansans Doing Their Part to
Increase Crop Yields.
That Is Report Made by Santa
Fe Livestock Agent Here.
BIG DEMAND FOR STOCK HOGS
C.. II. GiIfilIan Tells OF COndi-
tiOns Turnout the State.
Wheat Is Looking Better Since
the Recent Rains.

Farmers and stockmen in the
southwest one-fourth of the United
States and in Kansas especially are
mobilizing their forces to make food
stuff production for this year the
highest in the history of the territory.
That assertion was made here today
by c. r. Gilfillan, assistant general
livestock agent for the Santa Fe rail-
way, who has just completed per-
sonal survey of the part of the coun-
try served by his company. In Topeka
today. the Santa Fee man declared
that farmers and stockmen have been
made to realize promptly that the
greatest part that can be played by
the United States in the war rests
upon their shoulders.
Farmers" he said. ARE making
vigorous efforts to do their part. This
is especially true of the livestock
farmers They are increasing their
herds and are bending their efforts to
more extensive production of live
stock.
Il have just been over the territory
covered by the Santa Fe dairy and
poulty demonstration train recently
and l find that efforts made by ex-
perts on the special are bearing fruit.
Farmers in the part of Kansas where
the train stopped are practically
unanimously adding to their poultry
flocks and dairy herds. More atten-
ton will also be given this year to
beef cattle.
Stock Hogs in Demand.
During the twenty years that
have been connected in livestock work
with the Santa Fe, 1 have not known
time when there was a greater de-
mard for stock hogs among farmers.
Kansas is bending her efforts toward
a big corn crop and the most of this
probably will be marketed il the form
of the finished product.
THE movement for more and better
farming is not temporary but is most
permanent. The farmers have been
appealed to to meet the great demand
for foodstuffs which will be further
increased by the country's entrance in
the war and they are responding to a
man. Especially III Kansas they are
laying careful plans for more extensive
farming and more diversified farming.
Appeal for an increased production of
foodstutfs to meet the crisis, which
has been made by Governor Capper
and others, has not fallen upon deaf
ears"
Wheat Looks Better.
While here today Mr.. Gilfillan
dealt the always present crop killer
which has been working overtime of
Kansas wheat the first decisive blow.
The Santa EFe man asserted that farm
ers over the state are becoming more
optimistic about the size of the COM
ing crop because of the recent rains.
I'm many places" said Mr. Gilfil-
Ian, where the wheat was apparent
ly dead a week ago, the rain seems to
have revived it and the fields are
greening up wonderfully. 1t is show
ing signs of life in many parts of
Kansas in fields where it was thought
the entire stand had been completely
killed by the dry weather"
