BURSTING HEAD OF CABBAGE
Trouble Caused by Rapid Growth and
May Be Prevented by Breaking
of Some Of Roots.

Many persons growing their own
vegetables have experienced consider
able annoyance in having a large num-
ber of fine heads of cabbage to burst.
before the vegetable can he used or
marketed.
The bursting is caused by rapid
growth, and usually occurs after a
warm rain which has followed dry
spell. 1t is surprising how rapidly :he
heads will split and push out fro,n
the center, which is damaging unless
the cabbage is used at once.
To prevent cabbage from bursting,
60 to each head, and pull it. just
enough to break large number of the
small rootlets, but not enough to al
low the head to fall or lean very much
to one side. This will lessen the
amount Of moisture and food taken
into the plant and the development of
the head, and consequently the burst
ing will cease. In most cases the cab
bage will remain perfect and unili-
iured, and can be sold or used before
any damage results.
Heads of cabbage about to burst. or
even those showing the first split, can
be kept for several weeks. without
damage by simply following the above
instructions carefully.

PREVENT SCOURS IN CALVES
Cause of Great Loss to Dairymen is
Due Almost Entirely to Over
feeding or Dirty Pals.

The most fatal disease in calves is
the scours. This simple trouble is the
cause of our great loss among the
calves during the first four or five
months. II is owing almost invariably
to one of two things: either overfeed.
ing, or feeding from dirty pals. The
first thing to do when this appears is
to cut down the feed and cleanse the
pals thoroughly.
ScOurs are sometimes caused by
feeding sour milk and then sweet milk.
"A good calf can he raised on sour milk
if he is fed sour milk all of the time
after ne is month old and the milk
is in the same degree of sOurness when
fed, but no one can raise a good calf
on sour milk one feed and sweet milk
the next.
And no person can raise a bunch OF
good calves who feeds from dirty pals

it is both novel and practical. The
Sitiawan industrial school is deriving
revenue from rubber trees planted in
1910. Nearly twenty acres are begin
ming to bear, and the income will go
to the support of boys whose families
are unable to ,pny the usual boarding
fee. Thirty more acres are to be plant

PRESERVE FRUITS AND VEG
ETABLES BY DRYING

The very, general demand for ready
to-serve foods is in large measure re-
sponsiole for replacing the dried foods
with the canned product That dried
foods are unavoidably darkened, and
% slightly less attractive has been Civ
en- undue weight. This season it is high
ly desirable that housewives resort to
this less expensive method of prosery-
ing fruits and vegetables.
The essentials in home drying are
cleanliness in handling the food and IN.
protecting it from unnecessary contain
ination, permitting free circulation OF
air, and utilizing heat to the best ad-
vantage-avohng over-heating, yet Sc
curing the rapid drying that will lessen
the opportunity for fermentation A
general direction is to stir frequently.
Home methods by which drying CT
fruits and vegetables is well accomplish
ed are these:
]. Large fruits and vegetables NAV
be cut into sections, strung and then
suspended in the sun OF above the stove
to dry.
,. Food products prepared for drying
may be spread in thin layer on
white cloth and exposed to the direct
rays of the sun. Obviously, food so ex-
posed must be protected from flies by
a mosquito netting, Or a very coarse
cheese cloth serves as better protec-
tiori against smaller Insects and dust
3. If one is so fortunate as to have
an enclosure in glass where one may Sc
cure the greater heat from this toncen-
tration of the suns rays, then the prob
lem is greatly smplified.
4. Food may be dried in slow oven
with frequent stirring.
.. The process is much shortened by
evaporators, the product is less darken-
ed, and there is less opportunity for
| the accumulation of dust. The home
made evaporator may be constructed at
a very slight expense.
| Foods that are excellently preserved
| by drying are corn, string beans, green
peas and apples.
Corn should be steamed from ten to,
fifteen minutes long enough to set the
| mllk-then cut from the cob, and
spread thinly for drying by either of
the methods just named. Unless corn IS
steamed at once when it is gathered, it
will lose much of its natural sweetness,
and this cannot be replaced by the addi-
tion of sugar.
String beans may or may not be
scalded before drying.
Peas should be scalded Immediately
when they have been picked and shell
led, SO that they will retain their sweet
ness. This precaution will apply 70 corn
and peas, though it is desired that all
fruits and vegetables be prepared as
soon after they are picked as possible

side her.

rendered to the Chicago police In the

les and bOasted that he was the great
est diamond thief of the last decade

robbers with whom he formerly .associa-
ted, who had tracked him and his wife

manner that one critic truly said that
If this exploitation of the flag contin-
ued, Americans would soon prefer to
see the enemy's flag to their own.
The coIors Too Freely Used.
Everywhere we wore the colors.
They not only floated from the WIN
dows, covered the facades Of houses,
swung from every public building and
hotel, ornamented railroad stations
and draped themselves around monu-
ments. but they were carried by every
motorcar, by the OK wagons Of the
South, by the bicycles Of boys, by the
hucksters on their little carts and even
by the bootblacks' boxes on the cor
ner stands.
When France went seriously sad
ly, terribly in earnest to meet the
enemy in the shape of the "gray fog
that rolled through Brussels" she did
not exploit one-fiftieth as many flags
as one city in America during the first
week that war was declared; for in
addition to all the methods by which
the flag itself was exploited, several
million people wore the colOrs in their
buttonholes. wrapped about their hats
and pinned to their shoulders.
Billions of buttons showing the
flag were sold in two weeks, and
then the dressmakers and designers
of all sorts of woman's apparel saw
to 1t that the cOlOrs would be intro
duced into their field of work.
BY this time one begins to feel
that the critic was right. The flag
has become so commonly used that
there should be law to prohibit its
being flaunted in this way. If we
do not succeed in stemming the tide
of clothes made in the red, white
and blue we shall all become an ami
mated flag moving across the con-
human beings appearing as parts of
the whole.
The day that General Joffre ar
rived in New York it was the de-
light of the women to wear the red.
white and blue ip every possible way,
and some of the smart set launched
fashions that may become part Of the
seasons styles.
There were flag blue frocks Of silk
with brilliant red belts or sashes
and white star embroidered on each
shoulder, and there were caps taken
from those Of the French Guard of
1870, with the wide strap under the
chin and the red, white and blue cock
ade floating In front.
There were red, white and blue sun
shades, to match handbags. There
were army capes Of every kind in dark
blue lined with red and showing white
satin collars. There were military
suits Of blue serge with lapels and
cufKs Of red and white striped silk, and

dean of the baseball writers. has for
many years ADVOCATED a fraternal or

baseball. with a view to establishing
a home where the old heroes might
pass their declining days free from
all fear of the gaunt wolf at the

guments were given the deaf ear
in the years of peace and plenty.
At last IT is likely that his plea will
come in for serious consideration.
President John X. Tener, of the Ma

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-Washington
and Jefferson tJS1y defeated Wash
ington and Lee by a 14-to-0 score in a
game played in a field Of mire and In
a cold, dsizzling rain.
McCreight, replacing Smith early in
the game, made all of the points dur
ing the last part of the final period.
The first touchdown followed the in
tercepting Of an attempted forward
pass by Carroll, who was downed on
the 7-yard line. McCreight leaped the
scrimnage line for the score,
Henry blocked Larlins' kick, at
tempted while near his goal, and
Reese recovered the ball on Washing
ton and Lees 5-yard mark. Nc
Creight again leaped on the scrimmage
line for a touchdown after the ball
had been rushed to the 2-yard mark.
McCreight kicked both goals. Wash
ington and Lee was on the defensive
far within its own territory during the
greater part of the first three periods
and had no scoring opportunities.
Bethel, Larkin and Silverstein feat
ured for the Generals, while Nc
Creight. Stobbs, Reese and Carroll did
the best work for W. and ]. Bethel
bore the brunt OF the defensive work
for W. and L., and was shifted con-
tinuauy from one side Of the line to
the other.
The underlying cause Of the Gen.
