REGULATED COLD STORAGE
A BLESSING, HE DECLARES

"Cold is the most efficient method
of preserving perishable foods stuffs, "
DR.. NJ. P. Ravenel of the department
of preventive medicine of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, declares. at has
modified the effect of season in foods
to a great extent inasmuch as perish
able articles like eggs, and fruits, can
be kept over from the season in which
they are produced through the time
they are not coming in fresh quaint
ties on the market. 1t has, therefore,
been of inestimable value to the hui
man race. Nevertheless, great pre-
JUDGE has been raised in the minds
of the public against the process. and
with some justification. Too often
foods which are already in bad con-
dition are put in cold storage.
"Under the ordinary temperatures
at which it is necessary to conduct
cold storage, changes unquestionably
take place in many foods. Certain
chemical changes take place which re-
suit in increased tenderness, and to a
certain extent in augmenting the pal
atable qualities of meat. There is a
marked increase in the acidity of the
various fats of the body. These
chemical changes are without appre-
ciable influence on the nutritive value
or on the wholesomeness of the meat.
The fats, however, become unsuitable
for human consumption if the storage
is prolonged.
"Some bacteria and molds grow on
the surface of meats during cold stor-
age, but do not penetrate the tissues
to any depth. They probably have lit
tie or no effect on the chemical chang
es noted. After eleven weeks of stor-
age, microscopic examination fails to
show any difference between the stor-
ed meat and fresh meat. In the or
binary modern packing houses fifty
five days is about as long as beef can
be held.
"In experimental storage it has
been held as long as 1T days, the
difference being that the coolers of
the modern packing houses have a
much higher humidity. The length of
time that fresh beef can be held in
cold storage at temperatures which
are above freezing depends upon
number of facts, chief among which
are the temperature and the humid
lty, and the character of the meat
when put in.
Gold storage is one of those things
~hicl needs to be under official regu-
alton and inspection, but when prop
erly conducted it is a great blessing,
md there is no reason for prejudice |
against it."

COLLEGE MEN FIND SUCCESS
IN OLD ABANDONED ORCHARD

Borrowing the capital and renting
an old worthless" pear and apple or
chard of 95 acres, fourteen miles south
Of Kansas City, two graduates of the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Missouri, Ben Colman and
Paul II. Shepard, both of the class of
1916, began the application of the
theories which had been given them
in their college course. The orchard
was from twelve to twenty years old
and the crop had not sold for enough
for several years to pay the taxes on
the land.
When they took charge of the or
chard, after leasing it for five years
on cash rent basis, they began to
spray and prune the trees. The trees
were sprayed four times during the
season, Because of a lack of CAPT.
tai they were unable to spray the
whole orchard. They later found that
the sprayed trees produced the best
apples while the unsprayed ones bore
fruit that was not worth plucking.
Then began the culling out of the
trees before the apples were ripe. The
clusters were cut to one apple and
quality rather than quantity was
sought.
Apple buyers learned of this and the
crop was disposed of easily. The
young men kept books on all their op-
erations placing theii orchard on a
business basis. At the end of the
season they had made SO per cent on
their operating capital and 10 per cent
on the capital invested in the farm,
orchard, operating expenses and equip
ment.
In addition to this they exhibited
their apples at the State Fair and
there, in competition with what were
said to be the best apples in the
United States, won first prize on the |
best bushel of commercial apples of |
any variety; first prize for ingram /
apples; first on Cauben pears, and
second on Keifei pears.

DEATH OF BRADLEY B. HUFF

Bradley B. Huff, staff correspond
ent of the St. Louis Globe-D Democrat
at Jefferson Clay, whose political
writings were one of the most widely
read and popular features of that pa
per, died at the State Capital last
Saturday of uraemic poison. Mr..
Huff was born in Flat River, this
county, % years ago, and was a son
of Rev. VIM B. Huff, a Baptist min
lister now residing at Moberly, Mo.
He did his first newspaper work at
Flat River shortly after leaving col
lege, and went to st. Louis in 1912.
When the news of his death spread
about the capital, both branches of the
Legislature Immediately adjourned
out of respect to his memory, and
passed resolutions of coincidence and
respect, extending sympathy to his
wife and family.

oLD-FASHIONED GIRL

I've been watching an 'old-fash-
Toned girl for quite a long while y
says the writer, "and l want to tell
you something about her.
Her dresses were made in modern
style, but, bless you, she was so old
fashioned that she arose in the morn
ing when her mother did, helped set
the table neatly and cooked one or
two dishes daintily her own SELF
"She had graduated, vet she did
not think because of that fact that
the kitchen was not good enough for
her. 0 no! She was so much behind
the times that she actually washed the
dishes, made the bed, busted and then
began preparations for the pudding
for dinner.
"Now wasn't she absurd when she.
following the accustomed rut. should
have been lying ON the parior sofa
with the latest novel in her hand and
her dog beside her?
when her little brother came in
crying because his kite was broken,
instead of calling him 'horrid boy"
as it is the fashion to do in some
homes, she helped with her own hands
to mend it. How could she be in such
small business?
After dinner had been cleared
away, she produced small work bas-
ket and proceeded to mend the fam
lily stockings. Dreadful! After her
task was completed she accompanied
her mother on a shopping expedition:
and, although she met many fine
looking gentlemen, she did not 'f1irt'
with any of them, for don't you know.
she was so antiquated she would have
been shocked at the idea. AS if it
wasn't elevating to the intellect to be

son to fascinate!

VETERINARIAN ISSUES
REPORT ON CONDEM-
NATION APPRAISALS

State Veterinarian d. F. Luckey
has issued the following statement:
During the years 1915 and 1916
there were 1894 head of cattle con-
demned in the State on account of tu-
berculosis. Of these, 1897 were
grades and 697 were registered pure
bred cattle. If all the grades had
been appraised at a maximum of $40
and the registered purebred cattle
had been appraised at a maximum of
5000 per head, the total appraisement
would have been S1S7,2S The ac-
tual appraisement Of tuberculosis cat
tie and glandered horses amounted to
only Sl37, S66.17, for the two years.
All care was taken to prevent the
appraisement of animals purchased in
a diseased condition, or brought into
the State in a diseased condition.
Through this care large number of
cattle which were condemned were
not appraised at all. The owners of
cattle claimed as registered pure
bred were required to produce reg
istration certificate and the deputies
were instructed, in all cases, to write
the registered name and number of
every pure-bred animal or the quar-
antine blank which was furnished to
the county court.
While the law allowed a maximum
indemnity of $40 for grades, the av-
erage appraisement of grade ami
mails was $37.99. These grades, on
the average, were worth from $50 to
S125 each. While the law allowed
maximum appraisement of 5000 per
head of registered pure-bred cattle,
the average appraisement was $751;
D4. Eighteen hundred thirty-eight |
registered pure-brcd cattle sold in the
State in public sales during 1916 at !
an average of $40 per head.
There were 1876 lots of grade cattle !
appraised, of which 101 lots were ap-
praised at the maximum and these
lots usually consisted of cattle which,
were worth from $50 to 1925. There
were 106 lots of registered pure-bred
,a"tl3 appraised during the two years
aud only twenty-five lots were APP
praised at the maximum.
Combining the amount of indemnity |
security from the State and the
secured from the sale of car
Eases, the owners of condemned cat
lie have lost, on the average, from
to one-third of the value
Of such animals. In one case, the
owner of condemned stock secured
around $4,000 from the indemnity and
he sale of the carcases that were cas-
ly worth $15,500, thereby losing near
y two-thirds of the value of his cat
lie.

fore it's opening, was left on the shelf
when Fair and Warmer made such a
tremendous success on it's first night,
that it's second night and all nights
thereafter were sold out well in ad-

Washington, March 5.-Democratic
senators in aucus at 1890 tomorrow
will consider ways and means Of
