He Wanted to Know.

The late e. III. Hartman, says the
Wall Street Journal, was stickler for
facts. He cared little for an approx
mate statement. When he asked his
employees for information he wanted
1t definite.
While travelling through the cheer
less deserts of Nevada one day with a
number Of the officials Of the Union
Pacific, the train passed a little sta
ton with much platform, a bleak back
ground of sagebrush and jumpers, and
no habitation within sight.
"What is that station there forT'
asked Mr.. Hartman of one Of the rail-
way officials with the party.
"They ship few cattle and two or
three cars of WOOL"
(which is it, two or three?" snapped
Mr.. Hartman. (which is it? There Is
a difference of 33 1-3 per cent"

Dlabetic Troubles.

The dyspeptic has one great advan-
tage over the diabetic. The stomach
manifests its displeasure
at i'll treatment-as most dyspeptics
know. 1t sets up pains that call a tenn
porary halt. But the overworked pam
creas suffers in silence. It does not in
simultaneously warn it's possessor to
stop eating the things that signify de-
struction. Only in the temperance of
sugar and acid, and then of coma, does
it voice its protest. Translated into
practical terms, this means that the
diabetic must exercise even greater
force Of character than the dyspeptic.

SUNFLOWER SEED USE
Given Count as Poultry Feed by
Professor Lippincott.
lts Good for Noting Period, but Not
Practicable at Other Times on Az.
eraae Farm-Too Much Fiber
and Too Expensive.

Sdnfower seed because of its cost
and high fiber content is not so desir-
able poultry feed as is generally sup
posed, according to w. A. Lippincott,
professor of poultry husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
I'm the first place it is too expen-
sive," says Professor Lippincott, "and
then, too, it contains large amount
of crude fiber. 1t is a good feed, how
ever, for the melting period. The oil
seems to aid in giving gloss to the
feathers. Protein is essential to feath-
er growth-and the sunflower is rich
In protein.
Birds for Show Purposes.
."Sunf1ower seed is used by poultry
men when they are preparing birds for
show purposes as the feed apparently
gives the bird better appearance.
Showmen use the seed extensively as
feed but it is not practical for the
farmer unless the seed can be bought
much cheaper than the ordinary mar
ket price,"
Oats are better feed for chickens
than sunflower seed, in the opinion of
Mr.. Lippincott. Sunfower seeds have
approximately q per cent fat content
and 30 per cent fiber content, while
oats have AZ per cent fat content and
only 1913 per cent fiber content. It is
not wise to use oats as feed for
chickens too extensively because the
digestive apparatus of the fowls is not
designed to handle such large amount
Of crude fiber.
Best Fiber Content.
The best fiber content in ration for
fowls is approximately 3.5 per cent.
Too much fiber upsets the bird. If
some feeds, low in fiber, are used in
connection with oats, the fiber content
is brought down to about the required
amount.
Meat scraps and milk are the only
common poultry feeds having abso-
lutely no crude fiber. Broken rice has
but 2 per cent, gluten meal 2 per cent,
corn 20 per cent, and kafir 2 per cent

rinse them we'll in this water and
put them in a second pan of water.
Continue washing in clean waters
until there is not trace of sand on
the bottom of the pan in which the
vegetable was washed. If the spinach
is at all wilted let it stand in cold
water until it becomes fresh and
crisp. Drain from this water and
blanch. For half peck of spinach

of boiling water and l tablespoonful
of salt Put the drained spinach in
the boiling water and let 1t boil 10
minutes, counting from the time it
begins to boil. When it begins to
boil draw the cover of the saucepan
little to one side to allow the steam
to escape. At the end of 10 minutes
pour the spinach into colander, and
when the hot water has passed off
pour cold water over it. Let 1t drain

suitable for the manner in which 1t

One peck of spinach will make

Spinach With Cream
One-half peck spinach, 2 table
spoonfuls butter, tablespoonful
flour, teaspoonful salt, one-half
teaspoonful pepper, one-half pint
cream or milk.
Blanch and mince the spinach. Put
the butter in a saucepan and on the

Spinach With Egg
One-half peck spinach, table

Wash and blanch the spinach,
using two teaspoonfuls of the salt in
the water in which the vegetable is
boiled. Drain the blanched spinach
and chop rather fine, return it to
the saucepan, and add the salt, pep

and cook 10 minues. Heap in a
mound on a hot dish and garnish
with the hard-boiled eggs, cut in

SWEET CORN SLOWER SILAGE
Has Feeding Value Comparable With
Ordinary Corn Stover--Desir-

Sweet corn stover in the field, that
is, the fodder without the grain, has
a feeding value comparable with or
binary corn slower.
The silage which may be made from
it, while a very palatable and a de-
sirable addition to the dairy ration,
has a lower feeding value than corn

LETTUCE
If lettuce has grown rather too OLD
for salad, it may be cooked, and
makes a fairly palatable dish.
Boiled Lettuce
Wash four or five heads of lettuce,
carefully removing thick, bitter
stalks and retaining all sound leaves:
Cook in plenty of boiling salted
water for 10 or Is minutes, then
blanch in cold water for a minute
or two. Drain, chop lightly, ana

Swiss Chards
This vegetable is a variety of beet
in which the leaf stalk and midrlb
have been developed instead of the
root 1t is cultivated like spinach,
and the green tender leaves are pre-
pared exactly like this vegetable. The
midribs of the full-grown leaves may
be cooked like celery.
Beet Greens
Beets are usually thickly sowed,
and as the young beet plants begin
to grow they must be thinned out.
The young plants pulled from the
bed makes delicious greens, particu-
larly if the root has attained some
little size. Unfortunately, of late
years the leaves are attacked by in
sects; therefore, they must be ex-
amined leaf by leaf, and all which
are infested rejected Do not sepa-
rate the roots from the leaves. Wash
thoroly in many waters. Put into
a stewpan and cover generously with
boiling water. Add a teaspoonful
of salt for every two quarts of
greens. Boil rapidly until tender.
This will be about 80 minues. Drain
off the water, chop rather coarse,
season with butter and salt.
The vegetable may be boiled with
pork as directed for Cabbage and

There is just so much food in the
world, exactly as there is limited
quantity of copper, gold or iron. I'm
til the present desperate world strug
gle the world was overproducing and
waste became the usual thing, es-
pecially in America, where overpro-
duction was the most scandalous.
Now it is being drilled into every
body's understanding that there is
nothing to be thrown away, nothing
that doesn't help in the crisis. The
housewife who does not save every
bit of good food and make it go
as far as possible is making the fight
harder in France. The United States
soldiers will depend not alone on
enough food, but on all the food that
can be stored up. Surplus food is
the most important form of wealth.
Back door extravaganza is unpat-
riotic and dangerous.
The following recipes represent
one of Americas only forms of pre-
paredness, the government domestic

PURGE of Cabbage and Potatoes
One pint boiled finely-minced cab
bage, medium-sized potatoes, 2
tablespoonfuls butter or savory drip
pings, 2 teaspoonfuls salt, one-half
teaspoonful pepper, one-half pint hot
milk.
Peel the potatoes and put them
in a stewpan with boiling water
enough to cover them. Cook just go
minutes. Pour off the water and
mash fine and light. Beat in the
hot milk, seasoning, and cabbage.
Cook about five minutes longer.
Kale, or Borecole
There are several varieties of this
vegetable The dwarf, green-curled
kale is the best for the table and is
a fall and spring vegetable. The
leaves are sweeter and more tender
after having been touched by the
frost. In the north the roots may
be banked with earth at the begin
ming of winter and when the extreme
cold weather sets in the plants may
be covered lightly with hay or straw.
nj the spring the old stalks will
produce young shoots that make de-
licious greens.
Kale Boiled With Pork
Cook the kale the same as cab
bage with pork.
Minced Kale
Remove all the old or tough
leaves. Wash the kale thoroly and
drain, then put on to cook in a ket-
