KATHRYN SHIPPERS AsSO-
CATION HAD GOOD YEAR

Kathryn Recorder: County Agent
James, of Valley City, attended the an
nual meeting of the Kathryn Shippers
of breeders association as an ad-
junct to the present shippers associa-
tion. In this connection he laid great
atress on the Importance of co-opera>
ton in the community to obtain the
best results. He advised the men,
bers Of the association to decide on
some particular breed of cattle, beef
or dairy. Those who might prefer the
dairy breed to decide on some breed,
Holstein or other dairy breed, form
an association of their own and i'm
prove their herds by a careful selec-
ton Of their best cows, then several
groups Of three farmers purchase
good sire of the particular breed which
they favored and use him as long as
is considered practicable and then ex-
change with some other group, who
are raising the same breed. Mr.. James
advised the association to consider the
raising of sheep. Below we give
brief summary of the financial condi-
ton of the association on Jan. l, 1917:

hate to tell you how much we
have reduced our living expenses
in the past few months, or how
happy it makes us, for it all goes
into the war which we have got

Americans must adjust their
spending to war conditions, alb
stain from wasteful use of COM
modities, and make their pur-
chases judiciously. If they do
not adopt this course of their own
free will, the economic conditions
produced by war will force them
to do it. and It's conpulsion will
be far more effective than any
government decree. Why not be
a little patriotic as well as fore
sighted, and do voluntarily today
what necessity will compel you to
do tomorrow or a year hence?
This applies in varying degrees
to individuals and to business,
big and little, at home and at
large. The practical man and
woman of today are largely re-
stricting their purchases to the
practical necessities of life, and
conditioning themselves to con-
tribute to the success of the vital
work in hand. 1t means total
adjustment of national and in
dividual life to national and in
dividual war needs. The longer
this readjustment is delayed, the
greater will be the ultimate cost.

HOME ECONOMICS

uVNE ESO.tONlSS
The ultimate consumer cannot
escape without indictment for
waste and extravaganza. The
food that is wasted at one meal
in the average well-to-do home
is appalling. 1t would feed a
whole family in Europe for a day.
Bishop Brent says that enough
food is served and eaten after
900 p. m. to feed several million
people, most of which is extrava-
giant, wasteful and unnecessary.
We can all demonstrate thrift in
the home, and make saving,
rather than spending, our social
standard. Avoid false and mis-
taken economy, which is parsi-
mony-or worse; as well starve
yourself and your family : think
ing you are doing a patriotic
thing.
If the world goes hungry, it
will be because it lacks what we
have overeaten or thrown away.
The real thing is to be practi-
cal and economical in the use of
foods. This begins when you
take dollar out of your pocket
and make your selection and pur-
chases, continues in cooking,
serving and eating, and ends on
ly when the last soup bone has
given up it's marrow and the
actual refuse has helped produce
an egg. One New York restau-
rant has reduced it's food refuse
from a barrel day to two bar
rels a week, and it is estimated
that throughout the city there
has been a reduction of 20 per
cent in household waste. A fam
lily living where hens and pigs
can be kept, should not waste
$500 worth of food in a year. A
few chickens can be housed in
almost any back yard and fed
largely on table scraps and vege-
table waste. The eggs and the
surplus meat add substantially to
the family food supply, at a neg.
ligible cost.
A very amusing letter has been
received, by the American De-
fense Society, headquarters in
New York City, from practical
and patriotic woman of means,
who is trying to work and econo-
mize for the war and use all she
saves for war bonds and chari.
