Spokane Apple Show.

Spokane, Wash, July 21. Plans
for the Tenth National Apple Show
as outlined at the first meeting of the
trustees, show a radical departure
from former exhibitions. Instead of
featuring competition in the box dis
plays, stress will be laid this year
upon food value and marketing. In
stead of street frolic and carnival
features, there will be patriotic and
historic pageants in keeping with the
military spirit of the hour.
Elaborate demonstrations will
illustrate Herbert G. Hoover's declar-
alton that the apple is a most valu-
able food product especially during
war times. Methods of preparing ap-
pies for the table, preserving, can
ming, evaporating. and scores of 9TH
er practical uses will be given.

pared by the druggist 80 there will be
no leakage may be used. So-called
4-dram capsules will actually hold
about drams of carbon bisulphid;
2-dram capsules about 11s drams.
An instrument known as a balling
gun or balling iron will facilitate the
administration of the capsules. In
haling of carbon-bisulphid fumes by a
horse may have serious consequences,
and it is accordingly important not
I to use leaky capsules or crush them
during their administration. The day
preceding the treatment the horse is
fed lightly and all food is withheld in
the evening. A purgative of aloes
/ " to / ounce) or pint Of raw lin
seed oil is given. On the day of the
treatment 3 drains of carbon bisul-
phid in a gelatin capsule or capsules
are given to the horse, still fasting,
at o'clock in the morning, drains
at o'clock, and drains at s
o'clock-making in all drains of
carbon bisulphid in either 8 or cap
sules, according to the size of the cap
sule used. These doses are for a ma
ture horse; a yearling colt may be
given half the quantity.

removal of nose fly" bots, which oc-
cur commonly in certain western
states, it should be given during the
fall of the year, as bots of this spe-

National Forests
To Supply Wood

To meet any possible coal shortage
in the west next winter, more extern
slve use Of fuel wood from the ma
tional forests is urged by the govern
ment foresters, who are advising both
ranchers and town dwellers to be
forehanded in making arrangements
for the supply of their fuel needs.
The supervisors Of the 1853 national
forests will be instructed to afford
all possible facilities to local resi-
dents wishing to obtain cordwood
which settlers may obtain free for
their home use and which Is sold at
low rates to persons cutting and haul
ing in order to sell to others. Since
the material thus utilized is mainly
dead timber, its removal, It is ex-
planned, helps clear up the forest and
thus lessons the fire menace. Tim
ber which is nsect-infested, or old
and deteriorating, or otherwise dam
aged or undesirable from the for
ester's standpoint, is also disposed of
for fuel purposes. The demand in
the next twelve months is expected to
break all records.
There is a possibility Of coal
shortage because of the increased de-
mand for coal by industrial plants
and the lack of sufficient means Of
transportation It Is believed that
1t will be quite feasible and econom-
ical for many western communities
to utilize an increased quantity OF
national forest wood for fuel next
winter. When dead and down tim
Der or other timber which is deterior-
ating is not available for cordwood,
the cutting of mature living trees will

palatable foods. These home-ground
grains, used alone or with flour, also
may be used satisfactorily in bread
making. Boiled grains, such as rice,
barley, corn meal or hominy, may be
used in the same way, or any of these
may be combined into dishes with
cheese, eggs or meat, which add both
flavor and nitrogenous food ele-
ments.
The important place Of cereals in
the diet and ways in which they may
be used to reduce living expenses are
discussed in Farmers Bulletin 81,
Cereal Foods, recently published by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.

Horse Owners Warned.

Carbon bisulphid, a cheap and
readily obtainable compound, is be-
ing unduly exploited under various
names and at exorbitant prices as a
treatment for bots and worms in
horses, according to information
which recently has come to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This chemical is a recognized remedy
for these ailments, but the depart
ment warns farmers against paying
IS for a quantity, sold under a fanci-
full name, that probably could be
bought at any drug store for 25 cents.
Not only is this compound being
thus sold fraudulently, but false
claims are made for it and directions
for its use improperly prescribed

inflammable when mixed with air,
and must be kept away from all fire.
As the method of administering this
compound is not altogether easy, 1t Is
suggested that the treatment should
be given under the direction OF vet
erinarian.
The usual method Of administering
is to give about fluid ounce divided
into three, doses and to supplement 1t
with a purgative. For yeaTling colts
half the amount, in similar dosage, Is
sufficient. The carbon bisulphid Is

be permitted to the extent necessary
to meet demands.
While wood as a fuel Is less eco-
nomical to handle and use than coal,
it is in many parts of the west cheap
er, even at normal price levels.
Stoves and furnaces, however,
equipped to burn coal usually require
different CRATES to permit of the sub
stitution to advantage, and this Is
pointed out as one reason why the
householder will do we'll to look
ahead and decide beforehand how he
will keep warm and what he will feed
the kitchen stove next winter.
Where sawmills are operating In
the woods at points within hauling
distance Of towns, there is a chance
to obtain slabs and other material
that ordinarily goes to waste. Since
green or wet wood Is both poorer fuel
and heavier to transport and handle
than dry, mill waste as Il comes from
the saw is relatively undesirable for
immediate use. For this reason, as
well as in order to be sure of sup
ply, the government foresters sug-
gest that a good-sized woodpile IN
the backyard or under cover before
winter sets in may be found thrifty
provision.
During the last fiscal year over
10000 permits for the free use Of
national forest timber mainly in the
form of fuel wood we're taken out
by local residents. The amount Of
timber involved approxlmated ESQ.,
600 cords. Additional supplies OF
cordwood were obtained from the for
ests at nominal price by others who
were not entitled under the law to
the free use of timber.

Use More Cereals.


The most practical means of reduc-
ing table expenses without decreasing
the wholesomeness and adequacy Of
the diet lies in increased use of cereal
foods, especially boiled grains, mush-
es and breads made of corn meal and
cereals other than wheat.
Cereals contain most of the impor-
tant food elements which the body
needs and yet are comparatively in
expensive. They are primarily a
source of starch, needed by the body
to yield energy. They furnish also
considerable quantities of protein,
one of the most important and usual
ly one of the most expensive food ele-
ments, needed to build the body and
keep 1t in repair. In addition, cere-
ais furnish mineral matter, fats,
fiber, and, especially if part of the
bran is left in, little-known sub
stances which regulate activities.
Cereals therefore may be used as
the relatively inexpensive basis for
meals. 1t then becomes necessary
only to eat with them comparatively
small quantities of higher-priced food
to make up proper balance among
the needed elements.
When animal foods or other nj
trogenous foods, fruits and vegeta-
bles also are used in the diet, the
various grains may be interchanged
freely as availability, cost or prefer
ence dictates. The starch of all the
cereals is practically the same. Pro-
tein, fat and mineral matter vary
somewhat in the different kinds, but
so slightly that the difference need
not be considered in the ordinary
mixed diet. In such diet therefore
corn or oat meal, for example, may
be satisfactorily substituted for
wheat when the latter is scarce, with
out detracting from the wholesome
ness of the meals.
The most common form in which
cereal food is consumed is bread,
The food value of bread. however,
comes from the cereal of which 1t Is
made, and 1t makes little difference
whether we get our cereal ration in
baked or boiled form. If cereals are
to be made a more important feature
of the diet, mushes and boiled grains,
as well as baked doughs, should be
eaten in greater quantity Practical
ly any of the cereals may be used in
making some type of bread. Wheat
has been most used because its gluten
makes possible the raising of the
dough with yeast. Flours and meals
of the other grains, however, may be
made into balSing-powder breads, and
many of them can be substituted for
part Of the wheat flour in making
yeast breads.
Breakfast foods should be chosen
carefully if economy is desired, since
the form in which the food is pur-
chased largely determines the cost.
Meals from which mushes may be
made may be obtained for few cents
a pound, while specially prepared
grains may cost up to 4S cents or
even more per pound. Bulk break
fast cereals such as oatmeal common
ly may be purchased at lower prices
than the same kinds put up in car
tons
One way to lessen the cost OF
breakfast foods is to buy whole
grains from a feed store and grind
them coarsely in coffee or other
hand mill. The cracked grains when
salted properly, boiled thoroughly
and served with butter or sugar and
cream or milk, make wholesome and

FRUIT and FARm
Save Garden Surplus.

Save Garden Surplus.
The crop of vegetables from home
gardens promises to be unusually
large in practically all sections of the
country this year, says the United
States Department of Agriculture in
a statement just issued. Home gar
deners, therefore, it is pointed out,
should begin now to plan so that the
products raised by them will be used
to the best possible advantage, with
out waste.
There is likely to be an unusually
large production of vegetables from
small home gardens in most commun-
tiles this year" says the statement.
"Home gardeners therefore should
lay their plans carefully, so that they
will be in position at the appropri-
ate time to make efficient use of their
garden produce, both by immediate
consumption and by preservation by
canning, drying, or in other ways, so
that no good food will be wasted.
"A very material saving can be ef-
fected in the food bill in many in
stances by having the meals consist
more largely of the fresh home grown
vegetables and less extensively of the
nonperishable foods bought from gro
Gerry stores. By following this plan
also garden owners will relieve some
what the demand for the nonperish-
able foods.
Gwen with liberal use in the fam
fly diet in fresh state, however,
there will be considerable surpluses
of vegetables from many home gar
dens. These should be saved in some
way. Canning is the method most
usually employed, but it is possible
that cans and jars can not be obtained
in sufficient quantities this year to
pack the surplus perishables. In
such cases many products easily can
be preserved by drying.
by this method surplus water is
driven off by placing sliced products
on trays in the sun, over stove, or
before an electric fan. The dried
foods can be kept perfectly in paper
bags or boxes sufficiently tight to ex-
clude insects. Soaking in water will
bring the products back practically to
their original texture and they may
then be cooked like fresh vegetables.
"In putting up vegetables and
fruits for future use the home gar
dener may find the following sugges-
tions useful:
"If you can obtain cans and jars
only in limited numbers, can toma-
toes and other vegetables which can
not be dried easily and such fruits as
you prefer in juicy form. Wherever
possible concentrate succulent foods,
such as tomatoes.
preserve or jam the fruits and
berries which you prefer in that form,
and put them in glasses sealed with
paraffin or in wde-necked bottles
Put fruit juices in ordinary bot
ties.
DRY practically any common veg
etable except asparagus, eggplant,
radishes, lettuce, and the like. and
most fruits except strawberries and
native grapes. The most important
of the vegetables that are usually
dried are sweet corn, snap and string
beans, shelled beans, shelled peas and
the root crops. Tomatoes, though
consisting in large part of water, are
dried successfully by many immi-
grants from southern Europe.
IF a considerable number of cans
or jars are at your disposal so that
vegetables may be canned, be sure to
include the more nutritious, such as
green beans and peas"

Feed Forage Crops for Profit.

Pigs fed on good forage crops will
make many times as much profit as
those fed in dry lots.
The accredited gain in pork to an
acre of forage varies, depending upon
the crop, the age Of the hog, and
amount of grain fed. An acre OF
sweet clover, with corn at $3.50 and
hogs ut SIS a hundred, netted
$42.07; rape, $3.50; alfalfa, $65.9O;
and a combination of oats, peas and
rape, s646O.
OF all forage crops, alfalfa is the
great permanent crop, while rape is
the emergency crop, and green rye
the fall and early spring crop. The
ideal forage crop should show adapt
ability to soil and climate, perma-
nency, palatability, reasonable cost OF
planting, and good pasture at any
time during the growing season, AL
falfa, clover and rape have most Of
these qualities.

HICKMAN INDICTED
State Auditor Again Makes En-
phatic Denial in Either
Case.

Warrenton, Mo-, Jan. 13.-
Charges of false swearing, per
jury and fraud in office against
State Auditor George E. Hack
man will be tried here the second
Monday in April.
Judge CAN'T, in the Circuit
Court of Warren County today,
set the case on the trial docket.
Charges recently made by
Hickman since the indictments
were returned against him that
there has been a collision be-
tween Republicans came as a sur
prise to the men charged.
They claim Hackman's accusa-
tons are false in every detail and
that politics did not enter into
the affair at any time.
Hackman denied all charges OF
perjury and all other charges
made against him. 81 am not any
more guilty than my little 9-year-
old daughter" he said.
In declining to make a specific
statement in denial of the charges
Hackman said he was not at lib
crty to do so. His case is.cntirc-
ly in the hands of his attorney, he
said, and all statements would
have to emanate from that source.
Hackman returned to Warren
ton yesterday afternoon. His re-
turn was entirely voluntary. Up
on his arrival he was placed under
$1,000 bonds. OF this amount
$1,000 covered the first indict-
ment, and the balance was for the
second.
The Indictment against Hack
man has no reference to the col
lection of fees, although this sub
jcct was mentioned in the Grand
Jury report, which tells of an
audit of the books of all Warren
county officials at the instigation
of John p. Gordon, former State
Auditor. y
The audit. according to the re-
port, pointed out that several OF
the officers including Hackman,
had retained fees to which Cor
don disputed their right to re-
ceivp.
