Around the House

Juices extracted from berries or
grapes will be found particularly good
for drinks and sauces, while apples,
pears and peaches make agreeably fla.
vored sirups.
No housewife who has on hand a
supply of home canned vegetables
ready to serve at few minutes no.
tice will ever regret trouble in learning
to can them.
Meat, eggs, milk, fruits, green vege-
tables and many other foods are nearly
or entirely starch free.
Peas, corn, beans, etc., should never
be cooked in more water than they
will absorb during the cooking, so pre-
serving both flavor and food value.
1t is always task to take off the
grease when one is making gravy in a
hurry. 1t may be done almost instant
ly by going over the top Of the pan
with bit Of ice. The grease adheres
to the ice and hardens at once. This
applies to soup stock or any hot liquid
from which one wishes to separate the
grease without waiting for it to get
cold
Hot alum water is an excellent gen
eral insect destroyer. Put the alum
into hot water and let it boil until ii l..

Good Care Best Means
OF Increasing Egg Yield

More careful breeding from high pro-
ducing stock will improve egg produc-
ton, but it is long time proposition.
While careful breeding is always ad.
visable, what we need now is some
thing that will produce immediate re-
suits.
Better care and management will
give increased production at any time
Of year. Careful feeding and the use
of sour milk and green feed will in
crease production without increasing
feed cost.
Culling out the nonproducers is per
haps the most effective means of in
creasing the average flock production.
Such culling can continue until the
late fall, when the higher producers
will be automatically selected for breed.
ers the coming year. In some cases
laying hens are being marketed be-
cause Of the high price of grain. This
is great economic loss and one that
can be easily prevented If birds are
carefully selected.
Whatever means is used, see to it
that maximum egg production Is
maintained. The average poultry farm
cannot long endure without high egg
production.-Roy e. Jones, Connecticut
Agricultural College.

Learning From Birds.

Many wise suggestions come to one
who observes the ways and traits of
birds. Study of birds well repayS the
effort it demands. Respect for animal
life and bird life humanizes us. The
greatest and best of mankind have
been tender and loving to animal life.
The more we become friends of the
birds the more we shall feel the force
of the text. mot one sparrow shall
fall to the ground without your Father.
Fear We not, therefore. We are of more
value than many sparrows. '-Milwau-

Figuring colors of Metals

A method by which numerical values for the colors of metals has been ob. tained and described recently in a for eign contemporary. The metal sample Is polished with emery, and is then photographed through d blue grass screen. The time of exposure, time of development of the plate, tempera ture of the developer and all other condi. ti0ns must be reproduced exactly in order to obtain comparable results. The density of the resulting negative Is measured in a. Sanger Shepherd densometer, and the result calculated to a scale in which the color value for silver Is 0 and that of copper Is 60. The results obtained show that an increase of coloration in the metal does give higher "color figure" but the method can detect no difference between pure and standard" silver silver 92.5 per cent. copper 7.5 per cent and Is only just sufficiently sensitive to distinguish between German silvers having respectively 15 and I per cent of nickel

The chamber of commerce has of fered to the school board to sod the Athletic field with sandy loam soil if the school board will hire man to keep the field in condition the year round. E. B. Bloom is backing the movement and proposes to give Pine Bluff one of the best athletic fields in the state.
 For the last two springs. Pine Bluff has had American association base ball clubs training here, which proved good advertising for the city. The grounds were notin as good condition as baseball clubs desire them, and by keeping man the year round the gorunds will be in such condition in the spring that it will be no tIouble to secure baseball clubs to train here.

Chicago. May 2.-A worlds record was established here today in the 10- inning game between Cincinnati and Chicago, when after the game had gone nine innings, neither club had registered a hit or run. Cincinnati won, 1 to 0. Through the ninth, Vaughn, assisted by a remarkable de- 'fense, did not permit a Cincinnati player to reach second base and in this he only slightly surpassed his opponent, Toney, who allowed but one Chicago runner to reach second. Vaughn struck out ten Cincinnati batsmen, while only three were fam ned by Toney.
