The movement to induce purchasers
of small quantities of goods to carry
such purchases home, instead OF requir
ing the merchants to make expensive
delivery, has made considerable prog
ress in this country. Many housewives
and others have joined in this plan and
assiduously sought to promote it, feel
ing that in so doing they are aiding the
general plan to eliminate needles waste
and needless expense. Now, however,
some of the women in Washington have
started movement to induce merchants
to make reductions to purchasers who
carry goods home. They declare that
as this plan saves the retailer consider
able expense, it is only fair that such
saving be divided between the merchant
and his customers who contribute to
the saving, and that the latter should
get some of the direct benefit. - Osh-

No Killing Your Engine in the Coming
Automobile

Thousands of accidents and hundreds
of deaths occur every year by the stall
ing of gasoline driven automobiles.
Every automobile driver finds himself
or herself in tight place at times when
driving a car, where if all the power in
the machine could be utilized the instant
the throttle was opened, the accident
would be averted. We all know that
when the throttle on a gasoline car is
opened suddenly, the motor has less
power, if not killed. This is how so
many accidents occur on our railroad
crossings and other dangerous points.
A condition of this kind can not happen
with the Doble Detroit Steam Car. The
instant you open your throttle on this
car you have seventy-fve horse power,
and you simply leap out of dangers way.

Cows on Pasture May Need Grain

Does it pay to feed grain to COWS
on pasture? The results obtained
at the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture indicate that 1t de-
ponds largely upon how much milk
the cow gives and how good the pas-
ture is. If COW is producing less
than a pound of butter each day the
necessary food can be obtained from
a good pasture. If she produces more
than this some grain can be fed prof
itably. This means that a Jersey
COW should be able to get enough
food from grass to make about 20
pounds of milk daily and a Holstein
about rs to 30. 1t will pay to feed
grain to all cows which give more
than this amount since high pro-
ducing animals cannot gather suf-
fcient feed in the form of grass
A COW giving a pound and a half Of
butter daily should receive about five
pounds of grain daily, and one Civ
ing two pounds of butter should re-
ceive seven or eight pounds of grain
When not more than four or five
pounds of grain are fed it may con-
sist of corn. If more than this is
needed, some bran or small amount
of cottonseed meal should be added.
These recommendations hold good
only when pastures are good. In
late summer it will often be neces-
sary to feed more grain to high-pro-
ducing cows or to give some silage
or green feeds to help out the pas
lures.

MILK ONE OF CHEAPEST
AND BEST SUMMER FOODS.
Costs Less Than Meat or Eggs and Is
Life and Health Builder-A
Most Valuable Food.

Columbia, Mo-. July Goods are
not cheap or expensive according to
the price paid for them, but according
to the food value which we obtain
for a given amount of money. One
food which is widely used but
much misunderstood is milk. 1t is
one of two complete natural foods
known, and is, all things considered,
the most perfect food which we
have.
1t can be substituted largely for
eggs and meat, especially during the
summer time. Even at ten cents or
eleven cents a quart it is cheaper
than eggs or meat, and will supply all
the food elements contained in those
articles. One quart of milk con-
tains $40 units. 1t takes eight eggs
to supply the same amount of food
units, so that even at 80 cents a
dozen eggs are twice as expensive as
milk
Milk contains all the constituents
necessary. 1t has proteins which
repair the waste and build up the
body. 1t has fats and sugar which
act as fuel. 1t has minerals in the
proper amount. And in addition to
all this it contains those substances
called vitamines which are essential
for our nourishment.
When we compare it to meat, we
will again find that it is much cheap
er. Only one-half of the meat
which we buy can be used for food.
There is great waste in the matter
of bones, skin, fat, etc. Milk is an
especially good summer food.
Skinned milk and butter milk
are also most valuable foods, and
should not be thrown away. TIL
contain all the essentials of a perfect
food except the fat, and this can be
supplied from some other source. The
buttermilks are as a rule,
cleaner and more palatable than the
old fashioned buttermilk, tho if this
is well made and handled in a clean
ly manner it is an excellent, palat-
able and nutritious food especially
valuable during the warmer months.
A slight amount of souring does not
injure its food value, and makes it
more palatable for many people.
