Mr.. Mosby's we'll is in pumping
order again. The farmers that have
no water in cisterns are hauling
from Mr.. Mosbys and Mr.. Webb's
we'll. Mr.. Webb's is located east of
the Big butte, and has a pipe line
from the butte to his ranch. He
waters about $500 head of cattle.
w. M. Claunch and John Buchner
finished heading grain last week.
They report heading about 500 acres.
The farmers are busy sowing
wheat at the present time. Earl
Goldman reports seeding 90 acres to
wheat; Ivy Hammervolt, 80; o. s..
Tilghman, so; and Charles Auker-
man and sons, 100.
Mr.. Frank Westfall is expecting a
call for military service at once.
Frank Nelson, who has purchased
an Overland car, made trip from
his irrigated ranch to his homestead
Tuesday.
The farmers that moved wild hay
in this community, are feeling jubil-
ant over their few tons, on account
of the high price of alfalfa and the
long distance of hauling it.
Mrs. w. M. Claunch and Mrs. V.
E. Randall went to Blackfoot last
week to have dental work done.
Some of the farmers are interested
in pea growing. Conner Hass seeded
four acres to peas last spring. There
is large growth of wild peas in this
part of the country.
Harry Standish is erecting a new
barn.
Ivy Hammervold and O. s. Thigh
man made bushes trip to Arco last
week.
The potato and beet harvest has
proved a great success this year.

HOME ECONOMICS

and two cups -four. This cake is
cheap but good.
Pumpkin Pie
Stew pumpkin, cut into small
pieces, in a little water, and when
soft mash with potato masher very
fine; let the water dry away, watch
ing closely to prevent burning or
scorching. For each pie take well
beaten eggs, two-thirds cup sugar
two large tablespoons, heaping full
of pumpkin, half pint of rich milk
and = little butter and salt. Stir
we'll together and season with a
pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg or ging-
err. Bake with the under crust in
a hot oven. Too much spice makes
the pies too dark.
Pear Cream
This is an excellent dessert that
is suitable for an emergency as 1t
is quickly prepared. To make II
drain the Juice from quart of can
ned or preserved pears and mash
them very fine. Whip one cup OF
rich cream very stiff with one-half
cup of sugar and one teaspoon of
vanilla. Stir in the pears and whip
all together. Set in a very, cool
place, and serve in sherbet glasses.
Potato Pie
Peel and CRATE one large white
potato, add the juice and rind of one
lemon, the beaten white of one egg,
one cup white sugar, and one cup
cold water. Pour this into an under
crust and bake. When done, have
ready the beaten whites of three
eggs, half cup powdered sugar, flaw
ored with lemon and pour on the pie
and return to oven to harden.
To Make Tough Beefsteak Tender
A tough beefsteak can be made
tender and juicy if it is allowed to
stand over night in a mixture of
equal parts of vinegar and salad Oil.
For a three pound steak put a half
cup of the mixture in a crockery
dish large enough to spread the meat
out fiat. DO this early in the even
ing, turning the meat SO both sides
will be treated. Whatever of the
mixture is left in the morning can
be bottled and used for the same
purpose again. Do not put salt or
pepper on the meat while it is in
the oil and vinegar.

TRAP NESTS FAVORED
Excellent Plan to Keep Flock
CuIIed of Dr0neS.
Device Prevents Two or More Hens
on Nest at Same Time-summe
Troubles With Broody Fowls
Are Greatly Lessened.
(By A. F. HUNT, JR.)

(By A. F. HUNT, JR.)
Poultrymen who have never handled
the individual hen as unit, but Judge
the matter wholly by the records Of
fiocks as whole, have frequently
claimed-and have found apparent
reason to support the claim, that the
type of hen which lays we'll in winter
is not the type that lays well in sum-
mer; but trap nests records of fiocks
that have been completely handled
for eggs all through the year do not
support that theory. The hen that
does not lay freely and profitably in
summer when properly handled, does
not, as rule, show up on the trap
nest records as having laid remarkably
well, either the previous or following
winter. There are exceptions. Of
course, but they are relatively few. It
Is a most excellent idea to keep the
stock carefully culled Of drones and
moderate layers, all the time, summer
and winter. 1t Is the persistent
layer that pays the year round pro-
fit in market eggs, and she is the true
'1aying-type" that trap-nesters count
upon to perpetuate the prolific-laying
habit in their stock.
Summer has its own peculiar condi-
lions that antagonize egg production,
and the profits are shrunken unless the
"strictly fresh egg" is always in de-
mand, but eggs which are allowed to
remain in hot nest, covered by sum
dry hens that visit the nest through
out the day, lose considerable Of their
freshness by night; whether the
eggs are to be incubated, marketed
soon, or held in storage for future
marketing, their quality has been low
cred. Trap-nesters remove the eggs
from the nests from three to five times
during the day; as rule the trap nest
is an individual nest, and the layers
are not able to crowd two, three or
more at once upon nest of eggs, over
heating eggs and hens, both, as is fire.
quently the case where the ordinary
box nest is used.
Then, again, trap-nesters have found
by experience that summer troubles
with broody hens are greatly lessened
by judiciously handling the nests. The
frequent handling Of the layers and
prompt removal from the nest seems
to diminish their brOoding inclinations,
and they are more easily 'broken up"
when they do become broody. Many
persistent layers in the incubating
breeds do not become broody at all
when using the trap nests but con-
tinue to lay right through the summer.

Trap Nest With Trigger Set.

known where these nests are used" is
the report Of many who have had long
experience with good trap nests.
It is an interesting fact that quite
number Of the most successful trap
nesters installed and began to use trap
nests during the summer months. By
fall they had become quite familiar
with their use, and were in a position
to exercise good judgment in trap
nesting and culling the pullets, and
the yearling hens through the melting
period. It will be found that the great
layers are remarkable for tendency
to mott without apparent loss Of
vigor, and they will continue to lay
during a considerable portion, or the
whole, of that period.
It certainly is an excellent plan to
get the trap nests installed during the
summer months, become familiar with
them without loss of time,
and then one is prepared to start the
new generation of layers upon the
right road.

LITTLE HINTS OF CHICKENS
Save Labor and Produce More Poultry
and Eggs-CulI Out All Market
able CockereIs.

Do not worry about prices, but wor-
~ about methods and management
and how to save labor and produce
more poultry and eggs.
Study the best market and style of
disposing of your product.
Gull out the young market cockerel
now which will only grow into a lively,
active rooster-a fighting machine, not
profit machine.
His comb, his spurs, his crow and
high opinion of himself are without
value when he is sold ON the market as
a cockerel. Caponize him and he gains
weight twice as quickly at less food
cost.
Keep an eye on all such steps Of
management as will tend to increase
the income without any increase in
cost.

Peanut Soup

Peanut soup
A delicious and nourishing soup
may be made from skim milk and
peanut butter as follows: Heat one
pint of milk until lukewarm. Add
two rounded tablespoonfuls of pea
nut butter mixed to smooth paste
with little of the milk. Salt to
taste. Thicker with one teaspoonful
of butter or savory fat mixed with
one tablespoonful of -four. Bring
almost to the boiling point and
serve.
Fried Mush
Pour corn meal mush into an
enameled dish, and when cold, cut
into slices and fry in hot drippings
until well Drowned. Serve hot with
butter and syrup. This can be utiliz-
ed as a vegetable and served as a
border around the meat. In this
way it can take the place of pota-
toes.
Sweet Potato Pickle
One peck green tomatoes, and one
half peck onions, slice and cover
with one cup salt. Let soak over
night. In morning drain. put in ket-
tie and cover with vinegar, then add
four pounds brown sugar, one-quart-
er pound mixed spice, in bag, and
cook all until soft. Put in jars while
hot.
Ripe Tomato Sweet Pickle
Four pounds tomatoes, two pounds
sugar, one pint vinegar, and a hand
full of cloves Place the tomatoes,
sugar and cloves in a stone jar or
crock; heat vinegar to boiling point
and pour over them. Next morning
heat all the liquid and pour over
them again. The next morning place
all in the preserving kettle and cook
till the tomatoes appear to be almost
transparent; dip them out and cook
the liquid 10 or Is minutes longer.
This requires only half as much
sugar as preserves.
Apple Sauce Cake

RATS MULTIPLY IN SUMMER
Chicks Are Neglected Because Of
Rush of Farm Work.

Rats multiply and destroy during
the months when chicks are compare
lively neglected because Of the rush
of farm work. Try to remove hiding
places by cutting the heaps Of old
boxes and boards into kindling. Cut
down the weeds near the chicken
houses and brood eoops. Don't leave
grain hoppers open in the chicken
houses at night, to be destroyed by
the ravages of rats. The farmer who
worked in the fields last summer was
working for better cause than as a
caterer to the rat family.

PREVENT HENS EATING EGGS
Habit May Be Discouraged by Placing
China Eggs on Floor and Letting
Fowls Pick Them.

If you keep a few china eggs on the
floor about the laying hens or in the
yard, the hens will pick at these, and
it will discourage them from attempt
ing to eat the eggs in the nest. 1t is
also advisable to place your nests away
from the light, as the hens are not apt
to eat the eggs if the nest is rather
dark. Keep your nests up off the floor.
Supply oyster shell and some meat
food. If the hen persists in this bad
habit, trim the point of her beak until
it bleeds. Keep the hens busy. Avoid
broken eggs, as this is usually the be-
ginning of this trouble.

clared that the war had put Harvard
and Yale on the right track by getting
all students interested in athletics. For
25 years, he said, the universities have
been conducting their athletic activities
in the wrong way, with the system
that only brought few in.
