How the Recruit Ate Bananas,

There is only one time a marine
car 60 wrong, and that Is when he is
a recruit. After he gets his bearings,
so to speak, he can always be counted
on to do the right thing at the right
time from chasing a Caco to pulling Won
Terpitz' whiskers.
One leather neck recruit, during his
first visit to the tropics, was given a
number of bananas to eat. He was
an inland boy, and had never seen the
fruit before. He al asked later, by
q comrade, how he liked bananas.
mot SO much" answered the recruit.
whats Of 'em is all right, but they're
mostly all cob"
What he had been doing was eating
the skins and throwing the eatable
part away.

HOW YOU CAN
BEST WINTER SHEEP

Farm and Fireside, the National
farm paper published at
Ohio, says:
"Shelter, proper feed, and good
management arr the requisites in
bringing sheep successfully through
the winter season. While some shell
ter is necessary. close housing is not
advisable, especially with ewes in
larih.4 Large, dry4yards in which. the.
sheep have szIpllan:.y Of DON for exer-
else are the first requirement.
"Seven or eigh.. square feet Of floor
space in shed is necessary fon an!
average size sheep. The fleece affords
sufficient warmth in dry weather, and
for this reason the main need for a
shed Or sheep barn is protection from
the storms. On dry nights the sheep
prefer to be out of doors, and will
winter better if allowed to be there.
ut is usually more convenient to
have the feed racks inside, but some
roughage should always be fed out Of
doors. With breeding ewes toward
lambing time there is danger Of in

row gates. It IS we'll to provide a
pasture on which they can 80

MUST HAVE
MORE MEAT
4
BACKWARDS AND FARMS
MUST RAISE MORE CHICKENS
DUCKS AN GEESE.

Because Of the war the meat reser-
yes Of the world are diminished. The
herds Of live stock in Europe have
been reduced by slaughter made nee
essary in order 70 feedsthA armies. Our
own meat production in the years just
preceding the war was barely sum
cent for our own uses. And yet we
are now called upon not only to feed
ourselves, but to feed Europe to a
large extent. And We must do it to
win the war.
Where will We get the meat? You
can do your part, on your farm and in
your backyard by producing more
poultry, increasing the supply Of eggs
and chickens, geese and ducks. Our
total number of beef animals can not
be increased with sufficient quickness.
Several year are required to build up
cattle herds. Hogs can be increased
considerably in a year. They can be in
creased faster tEs any other animal.
But poultry can be doubled in a year.
1t offers the fastest and cheapest pos
sible source Of meat increase. That
is why it is so important that every
one help in poultry production
year.
The more poultry and eggs we pro-
duce the more poultry and eggs we
will eat. The more Of that food we
eat the less beef and pork we will rao
or want-leaviag that much more to
go to Europe. Thus we do indirectly
the thing we can't do directly. By
poultry production we get quickly
mre meat to win the war, although
we cannot increase in that time the
lumber of u Il eat animals
Get some good hens. You will hell
win the wal. You will reduce your
own cost Of living. You will sturr
waste into food. Get some good hens

Black Coffee Is Popular Drink Among Men of American Fleet

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLAS IN BRITISH WATERS, Aug. 4.-Black ;offee is the popular drink with the nen over here in Uncle Sans tee- otal navy. Steaming hot coffee is ,lways on tap on board the de- or submarines. The men say it not only keeps them awake but serves also as a stimulant and pro- ector against the rigorous climatic conditions under which they labor. They have not yet carried on board ihip the afternoon tea habit which hey have formed ashore and found such satisfactory substitute for .he use of alcoholic drinks.
 The vast majority of the men say hey do not miss the absence of in- toxicating drink on board their ships. Those who want it can get ashore from midday until eight in the evening but for the vast ma iority the liquor saloons have very little charm. The record of the men as whole in. this respect, say their officers, has been one of the gratifying features of their stay here.
 The patrols, therefore, have very little to do but walk up and down the main street of the village in 'earch of the trouble that seldom ,omeS
