No Seed To Distribute Or Sell,

No seed for free distribution nor
for sale is at the disposal of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The Department, however,
through its committee on seed stocks,
is receiving daily telegraphic and
other reports as to available supplies
of seeds of crops for late paintings,
and will assist in locating seed stocks
for localities where shortages exist.
The committee is cooperating with
State local, and commercial agencies
in an effort to secure better distribu-
ton of seed and to encourage plant
ings of all important crops.
Information regarding shortages
and surplus stocks should be ad-
dressed to r A. Oakley Chairman

Eat More Corn.

Ordinarily the quantity of corn pro-
duced in the United States is from
three to four times the quantity of
wheat but only a very small portion
of the crop-from 5 to 10 per cent
has been used for human food This
amount may be estimated in normal
times at about 200, 200, 900 bushels
year. Not over per cent has
been exported in peace times. A
relatively slight increas in the corn
acreage, therefore, will place many
millions of bushels more of human
food at the disposal of the world
without interfering in any way with
the feed needed for the support of
live stock.
In the past, with an abundance of
grain of other kinds, corn has not

Demand Is Keen.

Disease, such as cholera, has been
taking smaller toll the past season
than in recent years; more pure-bred
and high-grade hogs are available
than ever before; prices Of hogs are
now past the Decent level; demand
for pork for home consumption and
for export is keen. All of which
means that the farmer who does not
raise hogs is losing a chance to in
crease the supply of pork and thus
serve the country at the same time
expand profitable phase of farming.

Raise More Hogs.

| No branch of livestock farming is
more productive of satisfactory re-
suits than the raising of well-bred
swine. if conducted with reasonable
care. according to the specialists of
the Bureau of Animal Industry, Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Hogs fit into the modern scheme of
farming on nearly every farm, and
are one of the most important ami
mails to raise both for meat and for
money. They require less labor, less
equipment, and less capital, make
greater gains per hundred pounds of
concentrates fed, reproduce them
selves faster and in greater num-
bers, and give quicker turnover"
of money than any other animal ex-
cept poultry. Farmers of the South
and West particularly have awaken
ed to the merits of the hog and are
rapidly increasing their output of
pork and their bank accounts.
The meat supply of the country
can be increased more quickly by the
hog route" than by any other. The
country's need to augment its supply
is great, but prevailing high prices
alone should be sufficient inducement
to farmers to raise more hogs. The
prospect of success never was bright
er. The high prices ruling in all
markets show that the demand for
pork is in excess of the supply
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
The hog has no rival as a con- |
sumner of by-products and numerous
unmarketable materials which but /
for him might be wasted. Kitchen re-
fuse. not only from farms but also
from hotels and restaurants, when
cooked before being used makes an
excellent feed.
The value of skim milk as a hog
feed is known on every farm, though
not always fully appreciated. In
the neighborhood of many large
1airies pork production is a very
prominent and lucrative supplement
10 the dairy industry.
To prevent tuberculosis, all milk
and milk products should be cooked
before being fed to hogs. To control
log cholera, use sanitary precau-
ions and anti-hog-dholera serum
reatment.
Give your hog every chance to be-
,ome meat.

To Clean Wells.

Sponge mourning wells with warm
water. white soap and pinch Of
borax If the wells shine use a little
alcohol and two or three drops of vine-
gar instead of the borax. For spong-
ing black wells use a piece of black
wooden cloth. After sponging on both
sides place moderately thick piece
of wrapping paper over the veil and
press with a warm iron. Wells of Brus-

treatment When dry. either fold
loosely or roll around a pasteboard
tube If draped on q hat a veil can
usually be pressed in this way without
removing. Little wire frames shaped
like lamp shades may be bought very
cheaply to place inside Of hat boxes to
several wrappings of tissue paper.
Place in the hat box and one Of these
frames will keep hat raised SO that
there will be no pressure on It, One
of these little frames wound with satin
ribbon, with a tiny bunch of flowers in
the same color makes a charming lit

New Potato Suggestions
Avoid Monotonous Diet

Every cook Of an inventive turn Of
sional new ways of cooking potatoes.
in order to vary the monotony OF a
potato once-a-day diet. It is perfectly
inexcusable to stick to two or three
ways of cooking them. for the keenest
appetite loses its edge when variety
is not exercised in the serving of po-
tatoes.
Did you ever think of having broiled
potatoes? To make this delicious dish
cut cold boiled potatoes in thick slices
Dip each one in butter and then in
bread crumbs and broil them in the
gas oven or over coal fire till they
have taken on golden brown. They
are especially suitable when served
with broiled chops or beefsteak.
Mashed potatoes, though generally
popular, grow tiresome when always
served In the same way. Try this: To
a dish of mashed potatoes add one
tablespoonful of butter for every cup
full of mashed potatoes. Beat this
thoroughly and add the beaten white
of one egg and half cupful of milk
for every cupful of the mixture. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. mix thor
oughly and place in baking dish
Bown in the oven and serve with
roast beef or beef stew.
Another good way Of serving mashed
potatoes is to form them into small
balls, roll them in -four and brown them
in the pan with a roast of beef or
lamb When they are Drowned they
look very much like the ordinary
Drowned, boiled potatoes. but they are
much more delicious.
y A good way of cooking potatoes to
serve with roast is to cut balls with
potato cutter and parboil them in
sailed water, then drain them and sim
mer gently in well seasoned stock until
they are tender. Season with salt and
pepper and little minced parsley

Steam Out Wrinkles.
AS a suggestion. I know Of one little
help that may prove as useful to
others as it often has to me. Should
gowns and waists become wrinkled
after being packed, hang them In
bathroom and run enough hot water In
the tub to create good deal of steam.
Leave them hanging up for about half
an hour and all creases will have dis
appeared. This treatment is much bet
ter for silks and chiffons than pressing
with q hot iron. M l..
Renovating Of Gloves.
Have you an old pair of black kid
gloves too shabby to wear? If so, let
me tell you how to make them wear
able again. Take two teaspoonfuls of
olive oil to one teaspoonful of black
ink Mix well together in an old saucer
with the blunt end Of an orange stick.
Then take the pointed end Of the
stick, wrap around with piece OF alb
sorbent cotton to use as brush, ana
fasten firmly with piece of thread.
Pull gloves on the hand Apply mix
ture like a coat of paint with the brush.
Then gently. remove glove from the
hand and let dry.
Your old black gloves will look like
new. The Oil keeps the kid soft, smooth
and prevents cracking. l have treated
several pairs in this way and am de-
lighted with the results; 1t has saved
me several dollars 1 would have had to
spend for new ones. MRS. JIJ' L.
To Remove Stains.
When you find a stain on your cloth
ing or disfiguring mark upon the

ule and remove 1t:
Acid-Use ammonia or chloroform.
Chocolate-Soak in kerosene and wash

Fruit-Soak fresh stains in milk or

Grass-Rub the spots with molasses

Grease-Rub French chalk or fuller's

Mildew-Use lemon and salt or ia

Mud--Soak in kerosene.
Paint-Use turpentine or benzine.
Observation-Disclosures but boiling

hood she was allowed for breakfast "a

Paper for Rough Figuring.

Owing to the high cost of paper an
economy can be effected in any office in
the way of scratch paper" or paper
for rough figuring. by taking the open
ed envelopes of the daily mail and cut
ting them down the three-folded edges,
thus making two sheets of paper out of
each envelope. The sheet with the
name and address has only one clean
side, but the other is clean on both
sides. This requires but few minutes
each day, and enables you to keep
good supply on hand all the time.
