SUGAR BEETS AND MANGELS
Tend to Increase Milk When Fed to
Dairy cows-corn Silase Is Far
More Economical.

/! Sugar beets and mangels tend to in
crease milk production when fed to
dairy cows, but experiments conduct
ed at the Ohio experiment station
show that corn silage is far more
economical. Because of this fact these
dairy experts do not advise the feed
ing of beets except for high records
where cost is a minor consideration,
or where the number Of COWS is too
small to permit the use of silo.
Cows fed beets had keen appetites
and ate more feed because Of the
stimulating effects Of this root crop.
After ten years work the Ohio station
has found that two pounds of dry mat
ter can be produced in the form Of
silage at less cost than one pound in
the form Of beets. Convenience in
feeding is in favor of silage.

HANDY FU MIGATING Bin
Simple Form of House Is Easy
of Construction.
Great Care Must Be Used in Arrang-
ing Doors and WindoWs-Con-
; crete Is Favored for Erecting
Permanent Structure.

A simple form of fumigating house
may be made of 2 by spruce, over
which any cheap boarding may be
used, provided it is free from knots
and tongued and grooved so that the
boards may be tightly fitted together.
Shiplap is not desirable. The build
ing is rendered alright by tarred
paper and laths, or better still, by
lining of rubber roofing. Great care
is necessary in constructing the door
and windows. These should be at
least three layers of board thick and
should be possible to open the win
dow as well as the door from the out
side so that the building may be quick
ly aired after being used for fumigat-
ing purposes.
A more permanent structure and
one adapted to a wider range Of uses
may be made of concrete. 1t is best
to equip such cellar with ventilators
SO that it may be used for the storage
of fruits and vegetables. These ven
tilators should, Of course, be so ar
ranged that they may be tightly closed
when it is desired to use the cellar
for fumigating. The most popular size
of the average farm is cellar 10 by
"A feet, inside measurements, with
self-supporting arched roof 5 feet

Peach Parfalt.-Take one quart Of
well-mashed peaches, the juice of two
lemons, add two cupfuls Of sugar and
a quart of boiling water, boiled to-
gether FIVE minutes; let cool and freeze
to q soft mush; beat the whites Of
two eggs to a stiff froth, put in ta-
blespoonful of sugar and one Of va
nilla, add to the frozen peaches and
finish freezing.
Tomato Salad.-Fill small firm
cuDfuls made by taking out the CEN
ters from tomatoes with a mixture Of
orange, pineapple, banana and sweet
green pepper, mix with cream or
mayonnaise dressing; chill and serve.
QuInce BaIIs.-These are so pretty
and delicious that every housewife
should put up jar or two to use as
a garnish. Peel the ounces and with
a small potato scoop cut them into
balls; drop into rich sirup and
cover while cooking. They may be
taken out Of the slrup. rolled in sugar
and dried; then they may be dipped
In fondant and used as q confection.
In the slrup they may be used as
garnish for puddings, Ice creams or
salads. The ounces left after the
balls are removed need not be wasted,
for with apple and lemon a nice pre-
serve Is the result.
In making elderberry pies use ta-
blespoonful Of vinegar and q quarter
of q teaspoonful each of cloves and
cinnamon. A few grapes, fresh or
wild, or even teaspoonful Of grape
jelly is q decided addition to the fla
vor of an elderberry pie, as 1t gives
a touch Of plquancy which heightens
the flavor of the berries.
Apple Filling for Layer cake.-Grate
q good-sized tart apple, mix with
sugar and beat into the white Of an
egg; continue beating until the mix
ture is smooth and velvety, then
spread on the cake. This filling has
the advantage Of many, as it keeps
the cake moist. A few drops Of ia
voring may be added If desired.

Don't Delay Helping Others.

To do the right thing little late,

very little to the recipient. An offer

100000 will be given to the five young ladies, on this paper,

tunlty. Some one is going to secure the half million prize ballot

MRS. J. r. HEATH
PASSED AWAY MAY 81

On the night of May 81, Mrs. ]. R.
Heath passed away at her home in
the Spring Hill neighborhood, eight
miles southwest Of Grenada. Her re-
mains were laid to rest the next day
in the burying ground at Spring Hill
church after funeral services con-
Quoted by her pastor, Rev. c.. T.
Floyd, of the Holcomb circuit.
Mrs. Heath had been in p~recarious
health for several months but her
condition did not become alarming
until a short while before the end
came. She met the end with that
faith and steadiness Of purpose born
of a life that knew the sweetness and
joy of true religion. She had years
ago committed her life to the service
of her Maker. She had kept close to
the cross; she manifested day by day
that she knew that her Redeemer
lived. She was known for her good
deeds, for her kindly m~inistrations
and for her devotion to all that meant
for the uplift of her community.
She visited the sick, she ministered
unto those in distress and was a will
ling and Jealous worker in the Metho-
dist church, of which she had been a
member since her girlhood. 1t was
her pride and her pleasure to keep
an open house to those who visited
that community, and so perfect was
she as a culinary director that one
knew that the most appetizing
was to be upon the table when a guest
in the home. She was truly an help
meet to her husband, to whom she
was married December 20, 1870.
Mrs. Heath is survived by her hus-
band and one daughter to whom The
Sentinel tenders coincidence.

PRESSGROvE DESIRES
TO TALK A LITTLE.

l want to make a few statements
patrons. The devil may wv me a
grudge. If he does, l wish he'd be
outspoken-say so, and not hand out
his medicine in broken doses. Over
a year ago l was struck by a subma-
rine. My stock of nice merchandise
was dynamited. | saw my vision Of
good business fade away like the dew
of the morning, in dry weather.
Consolation was offered me from all
sources. l was urged not to become
morose and downcast, that whom
the devil hateth," he was sur to
bother. So l got a new hump on me.
HE'D myeslf to market and bought
goods to beat the band. On my re-
turn home my friends all seemed SO
glad to see me, that l really felt big.
So much so, that ! wen out to a
neighbours store and got him to weigh
me. Everybody l met said l was
looking so much better. Even my
wife intimated / was not only look
ing better, but was a better man
Just as | was at my best and getting
ready to do a big business, it began
to thunder. This was in July, My
friends, you know the balance. We
all saw our fondest hopes fade away
like a school boys dream. / want to
say a thing right here! You may not
believe it, but I've got no use for the
devil, and l don't care if he knows it.
Next comes the dog-on boil weevil,
(the very image of the devil) and
wipes us all off the map, and every
body said, "This is truly the Devil -!
Now comes the old Kaiser, who must
be close kin to the Devil" and BAN
tiers our Uncle Sam for a fuss.
Now, you all know Uncle Sam. You
know he'll fight and I'm going to
stand by him through thick and thin.
Uncle Sam is now scolding the peo-
pie about high prices. To be honest,
| bought just lots Of good at before
the-war prices. l expected to double
my money on lots Of them, but in
stead, I'm going to be patriotic and
do as Uncle Sam says, and make wal
on high prices. So l have shut down
for three days. My doors will not
open again till Saturday. My folks
are now re-marking everything.
Others can do as they please. Spec
ulate, if they want to, but as for The
Pressgrove Dry Goods Company there
will be a big slump in prices begin
ming Saturday morning, June the 9th,
at $3.50 o'clock. Down with the
Kaiser! Down with Speculation!
War! War! on High Prices" will be
the slogan Of Pressgrove, who is no
friend of the Devil" or the Kaiser.
Yours very truly,

THE COLORED PUBLIC
SCHOOL CLOSING

The colored public school of Gre
NADIA closed the session of 1867
last Friday. The annual address was
made by Rev. B. F. Voolfolk, pastor
of one of the colored Methodist
churches of Grenada. The Reverend
Voolfolk is well educated and is
blessed with more than ordinary in
telligence for one of his race.
Doubtless his speech suited well the
time and the occasion. The recita-
tons and other features of the COM
mencement program reflected we'll on
the pupils as well as the Principal and
his assistants. The concert yielded a
nice little revenue and there was
enough over and above the expense
for A. H. Henderson to lay aside a
neat sum to be used in making GER
tain needed additions and improve
ments at the school.
