Things Worth Knowing

Bread made with compressed yeast
should always be sponged in the morn
ing. If allowed to remain overnight
unless n very small quantity Of yeast
is used) it will be heavy. In other
words. the yeast outgrows itself and
dies.
For a small amount OF sausage make
in this proportion: Five pounds of lean
and fat pork, fnr teaspoonfuls Of
salt, four Of back pepper, one Of
cayenne, three Of powdered sage. one
each Of thyme and summer savory.
Sometimes folks hate to cook onions
and other things that smell pretty
loud because the odor stays In the ket-
tie or pan so long. Next time try this:
Wash the dish well; drop n good sized
piece Of paper into tho stove and light
it; then hold the dish Over that 4 mo.
ment and you will wonder what has
| become of that onion smell.
Ever have your overshoes pull off in
the mud? Provoking, isn't it? The
next time slip a heavy rubber band
around the ovcrshoes, over the instep.
This is not q bit unsightly and takes
only a minute. If necessary, the band
may be doubled to make it tight
enough. Try it.
Boiled linseed Oil is the finest thing
for genuine old mahogany, as it hard
ems and preserves the wood. Pour the
oil on to a pad Of soft flannel and we'll
rub the wood. If there are n cracks
in the wood the Oil will fill these and
harden. Wipe off the supernuous oil
and polish with a dry, soft cloth. y
little vinegar added to the oil will make
a bright, clean. dry finish.

Beef Scrap Necessary to
Heavy Egg Production

Protein is essential to heavy egg pro-
duction, and in just what form to sup
ply this food elementis a question that
puzzles many farmers, as we'll as town
people who are not in a position to
grow their W feed.
Insects--in season-furnish much pro-
tein where the birds are on the range.
Poultry feeders have used raw meats
or %byproducts of packing plants, known
as beef scraps. AS the demand has in
creased the price Of the latter has adj
vanced. Now a few poultry raisers
consider it too expensive and are sup
plying protein through vegetable
sources.
Cottonseed meal is the most common
ly used substitute, but where this has
been given in place of all other heavy
protein supplying feeds the result has
not been all that could be desired.
points out N. l.. Harris, superintendent
Of the poultry farm at the Kansas
State Agricultural college. On the 9th.
or hand, where c%ottonsecd meal has
been used as q supplement to beef
scrap at the rate of so per cent Of tho
ration it apparently has given as good
results as an exclusive meat scrap diet.
On account Of the bulk needed it is i'm
possible for a hen to consume enough
sour milk or butterm1lk.
Ordinarily tho beef scraps should
constitute 10 per C n Of the ration.
Bran, shorts and whole wheat furnish
the rest Of the protein needed in the
ration.
