A Meat Substitute.

Cottage cheese contains larger
percentage Of bodybuilding material
than most meats.
Cottage cheese is n of the i'm
portant meat substitutes. 1t con-
tains a larger percentage of protein,
(the chief material for body-build-
ing) than most mats and furnishes
this material at a lower cost. In ev-
cry pound of cottage cheese there is
about is of a pound of protein,
nearly all of which is digestible.
Meats on the other hand usually con-
tain less protein and besides have a
certain waste such as bone and other
inedible material. A pound Of cot
tage cheese daily would supply all
the protein required by the ordinary
adult engaged in ~sedentary occupa-
ton.

We're not here long, so let's make

Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split

daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing
out the whole of the internal poison

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
wei, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver and bowels the
previous days ~indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sw%eetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.

PLANT AN ACRE TO ALFALFA.

Try an acre in alfalfa; it is the
best hay crop we know. Where al
falfa grows well and it will grow
anywhere in this county where there
is proper drainage and the land is
lined and properly inoculated, it is
a very profitable hay plant. With
moderate seasons you ought to get a
ton of hay each cutting where, the
plant is put on good soil.
If you are going to SOW any alfal-
ia, we beg you to use care in seed
ing it. Select a moderately rich soil
and prepare a firm, mellow seed bed,
compost literally, and inoculate with
soil from burr clover field or with any
commercial culture and also recon-
mend for alfalfa. Use from 8 o a
tons of ground limestone per acre
and disc in before planting; if you
use any commercial fertilizers, do
not mix the lime with it, but make
two operations in the application Of
the lime and fertilizer. In preparing
the land use care to select a field
free from grass and weeds, do not
turn up too much of the subsoil in
breaking the land. Unless there is
a coat of peas or some other crop to
be turned under it will be best not
to turn the land. There is no pay
in turning clean land or in bringing
up too much of the subsoil. Use a
long scooter and 60 down into the
subsoil without bringing any of it to
the top and the use the disc harrow
to ~pulverise the surface. Should
you have a coat of humus making
material to turn under, turn the land
shallow without bringing over one
half inch of the subsoil to surface)
following with scooter subsoil as
deep as you can get it. Use the disc
harrow to ~pulverize the surface, the
narrowing will also tend to pack the
soil beneath the surface, which is
most desirable. Seed at the rate of
rs pounds seed per acre.
Alfalfa besides being a good hay
crop, is a splendid grazing crop for
hogs and pigs. Every farmr having
a number of cattle should have a
patch of alfalfa, and we believe
that every farmer who goes after it
right will succeed with the plant.

CHILE SAUCE RECIPES.

The following recipes will be found
useful in preparing a popular and
economical sauce:
Recipe No. l.
Scald and peel sound, ripe, red
tomatoes, and chop into small piecs,
SO lbs. tomatoes.
2 lbs. chopped onions.
10 OF. of ripe b~ullnose peppers.
Put in granite-ware or enameled
kettle and concentrate to IS lbs. Add
2A pounds of cider vinegar and
9 ounces of salt. Concentrate fur
Their to 1871 lbs. and add 6 lbs of
sugar. Boil slowly 5 to 10 minutes.
Put into hot sterilized jars and seal.
The above quantity will yield about
23 lbs or will be sufficient to fill 18
to 20 pint jars.
Throughout the boiling care must
be exercised by stirring to keep the
ingredients from settling to the bot
tom and burning. This is especially
necessary after the sugar is added.
In order to weigh the contents of
the kettle at different stages in the
process Of concentrating, the weight
of. the empty kettle should be noted
at the start. The kettle, with its con-
tents, can then bet set on the scales
or hung on the balance from time to
time without inconvenience and the
weight easily determined. This
sauce is not likely to mold, but it is
advisable after filling jars, to put on
tops loosely and sterilize for 80 min
utes. This sauce is delicious when
served with meats, oysters, baked
beans, etc.
Recipe No. 2.
For those wishing a sauce not quite
so sweet, but more on the order OLA
pickle, the following recipe will. be
found satisfactory; Scald and peel
"a ripe medium sized tomatoes; chop
these up with 2 red bullnose peppers,
2 green bullnose peppers, and 2 large
onions. Put into saucepan and add:
A cup vinegar. q .r:'.
IL cups brown sugar. ...
2 ~teaspoonful salt Qevel measure
ment.)
2 te%aspoonful whole allspice.
2 teaspoonful whole cloves.
2 t~easpoonful cinnamon.
2 teaspoonful ground ginger.
2 teaspoonful nutmeg.
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently
to prevent scorching, and boil until
sauce begins to thicken. This will
take about an hour. Take out onion
and seal in hot sterilized bottles.

An Economical Way to Can Tomatoes
A good way to can tomatoes is to
pack firm, whole fruits in a jar and
fill in the spaces with a concentrated
tomato sauce. Each quart jar then
will provide whole tomatoes for sal
ads or baking and a tomato PURGE
for soups or sauces.
Select firm, uniformly red, ripe
tomatoes of medium size. Put into
trays and lower into boiling water
for one minute. Remove, plunge in
to cold water, drain, and cut out the
core with a slender pointed knife,
without cutting into seed cells. Peel
promptly and pack into jars. To each
quart add 2 teaspoonful of the salt
sugar mixture. Fill the jars with a
thick tomato sauce made by cooking
the small or broken tomatoes until
tender. Strain and concentrate it by
boiling to about the consistency of
ketchup. Adjust the rubber and
cap, place the packed jars on a false
bottom in a vessel of water which
reaches almost to top and keep at
boiling Temperature for rs minutes.
Remove from water and tighten Gov
ers Immediately.

cottage cheese is much cheaper than
most meats in furnishing protein for
the diet.
For supplying protein, one pound
of cottage chees equals:
1.27 lbs sirloin steak.
1.09 lbs. round steak.
1.37 lbs. chuck rib beef.
1.52 lbs. fowl. '
LAG lbs. fresh ham.
LA lbs. smoked ham.
1853 lbs. loin pork chop.
1.31 lbs. hind leg of lamb.
1.37 lbs. breast of veal.
In addition to protein, energy for
performing body work must be fur
nished by food. AS a source of en-
ergy, also, cottage cheese is cheaper
than most meats at present price.
The following table shows the
comparison one pound of cottage
cheese equals.
8 1-3 ounces sirloin steak.
11A ounces round steak.
10% ounces fowl.
5k ounces fresh ham.
z 1-3 ounces lamb.
12% ounces breast of veal.
Direction for Making Cottage Cheese
Heat 1 quart sour milk to 100 de-
grees F and turn into a strainer lined
with cheese cloth. Pour over 1 Gt.
hot water and as soon as water has
drained through, pour ove another
quart; then repeat. Gather cheese
cloth around curd to form a bag and
let hang until curd is free from whey.
Moisten with melted butter and
heavy cream and add salt to taste.
Shape into small balls. NJ
Cottage cheese alone is an appe-
tizing and nutritious dish. 1t may
also be served with sweet or sour
cream, and some people add a little
sugar, or chives, or chopped onion
caraway seed.
Cottage cheese may also be served
with preserves and ~jellies; as cottage
cheese salad; cottage cheese rolls;
pimento and cottage cheese roast and.
cheese sauce.

STOP THE LEAK.

Stop the leaks of soluable plant
foods that are lost each winter thru
the teaching of the soil. We need
to become awakened to the need OF
stopping these leaks, we must real
ize that a naked, unprotected soil
means the loss Of plant food and the
waste of soil fertility which will in
time make the soil poorer and the
farmer less productive. Owing to
the nature of our winter weather,
with alternate freezes and periods
of thaw, it makes the need of winter
cover crops more acute here than in
the northern sections, where the land
stays froze for a much longer period
and the plant food locked up by ma
ture. An unprotected soil is open
to open to ravages of the weather
and this means that much of the
plant food is going to be leached,
especially nitrogen, phospherous and
potash do not leach to any great ex-
tent, but we need to conserve every
particle of nitrogen that we can and
20 grow every pound of it we can on
the farm, we can grow much of the
nitrogen necessary to the intelligent
fertilization of our crops right on our
own farms by making use of the win
ter and summer legumes. AS a farm
er expressed it the other day, eve
farmers need to cooperate more with
nature and the Almighty by seeding
more leguminous plants" Let's not
forget that we need humus almost
as badly as we need nitrogen and
that we can add both by seeding
crimson clover, or vetch and do it
while the land is resting. The seed
may appear high but when W. con-
slider the result obtained they are
comparatively cheap.
I On land where there is a coat of
pea vines, etc., as on a corn Held, 1t

cover crop, but on the cotton lands
and where the peas have been cut
away, it will be found more profitable
to arrange a cover crop of either
crimson clover or abruzzi rye. On
cotton lands where cotton is to fol-
low cotton, we recommend crimson
clover. We do not urge you to rush
into the seeding of these crops but
try an acre or two to note results.
Arrange seed. patches of these plants
SO as to grow your own seed. In or
der that you may extend, the seeding
another year.
Remember a naked field is a vast
ing field; it would be better to have
them protected; put on a seed patch
of clover and rye and seed an acre
or two to turn under next spring;
you will not be experimenting; you
will be feeling your way into practi-
cal results.

THE STUFF.

Exchange
The test of a mar is the fight he
makes,
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and
takes I
Fate's numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile when there's
naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand up and
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't victory after all
But the fight that a brother makes;
The mar who, driven against the
wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held
high,
Bleeding and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and
by,
For. he isn't aflaid to fail.
It's the bumps you get and the jolts
you get
And the shocks that your courage
stands,
The hours of sorrow and a regret,
The prize that escapes your hands,
That test your mettle and prove your
worth;
L isn't the blows you deal,
But the blows you take on the good
old earth
That, shows if your stuff is real.

Suffrage Victories Of 1917
In Foreign Lands
Twenty-Five Flags Float For Woman's Freedom
Throughout the World

Minister Kerensky is a suffragist and
1t is the opinion of MI ]. G. Ohsol a
former member of the Russian Duma,
now in this country, that the working,
mems councils will insist that, since
women have borne a leading part in
every revolutionary and educational
movement in modern Russia, they shall
be enfranchised at once
With "Babushka" Breshkovsky there
are coming back into Russia from exile
and prison thousands of women. ITO
deny these women even temporarily
the right to vote ON the future of Rus,
sia,' says Mr.. Ohsol, will not be toler-
ated by the Masses 1t is the opinion
of Russian women of prominence in
this country that behind the Russian
revolution is the shining promise of
woman's freedom.
On April Goth, Gustavus Losle, a
member of the German Reichstag,
openly advocated full woman suffrage
In Germany ION the ground that it
was through the efforts Of millions OF
German women that the existence Of
the nation had been preserved"

Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait appeared
at the Senate hearing, IN behalf of the
Federal Suffrage Amendment, flanked
by these % flags as concrete illustra-

cept the United States are women
forced to seek political freedom by ref
erendum to general electorate.
Since January l, 1917, the franchise
has been conferred upon the women OF
Ontario, Canada, by act of the provin-
cial legislature.
After eleven years of waiting, French
women have this year seen their mu-
n1cipal suffrage bill favorably reported
In February. 1917, the committee on
universal suffrage of the Chamber of
Deputies voted favorably on the Elan
din suffrage bill which, when passed.
will give French women municipal
franchise and eligibility to municipal
Offices. 1t is sponsored by Monsieur

for passage are good and that, once
passed, the vote for national represent
atlves will soon be added.

One of the strongest indications of
this upward trend in the Industrial
field lies in the progress that has been
made in the method of hiring help and
adapting that help to the work for
which it is best fitted. In their efforts
to reduce discharging to a minimum
many of the biggest manufacturing
concerns in the country have establish
ed employment departments headed by
experts who are fitted by instinct and
education to deal with human beings
and get the best out of them. After
long and careful study these employ
ment experts have come to the conclu-
sion that almost any worker, no mat
ter how inefficient he or she may seem
at first, can eventually be taught to do
some useful work and that the time
spent to make the worker efficient is
negligible when compared with the ap-
palling economic waste due to the in
discriminate discharging of employees.
From the standpoint of economy this
new aspect to the employment question
Is a long stride forward, for loose
methods of hiring and firing" consti-
tute the greatest leakage in modern
business. The tremendous proportions
which this leakage has assumed are
reflected in figures compiled by Mag
nus W.lAlexander, one of the engineers
of the General Electric company.
Figures Show Appalling Loss.
In an address delivered at the TWEEN
tieth annual convention of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers of the
United States Mr. Alexander cited tho

in six different states. At the begin
ming of the year these factories EN-
ployed 1924 persons and at the end
43.971. Their normal increase In en-
ployees that year, therefore, was 6,697,
and if the proper system had been in
force the factories would have had to
take on 6,G97 persons, plus an extra
complement of 1888, to provide for
unavoidable reductions in the working
force due to deaths, sickness, tempo
rary employment due to extra work
and other causes of a similar nature.
In reality, however, the factories
took on during the above mentioned
year 42,571 employees, or 22,031 per-
sons more than were absolutely neces-
sary, and each of those 22,031 persons
cost the factories from $50 to 5000
for broken tools, spoiled work, the
reduced rate of production and the
additional office expenses incurred
through the necessity for the main
tenance of an extra clerical force to
keep track of the temporary workers
and the hiring of foremen and assist
ants to instruct them. Altogether, it
was computed, the unnecessary en-
gagement of 22,031 employees caused
the factories in question an aggregate
loss of $S31 .03O.
Another manufacturer estimated that
he had to hire 1000 men in a single
year to get fifty employees, which
means that he has to pay for a certain
length of time salaries to the $50 who
fail to make good. He estimates that
this reduces his profits by S150,000.
Examine Applicants Carefully.
The substitution of scientific meth
DDS in place of the old haphazard sys-
TEN of employing and discharging bids
fair to stop this leakage however. 1t
is the chief function of the modern
employment department to give every
applicant Il thorough examination
with a view to determining what sort
Of work the latter is most likely to be
fitted for. The applicants record is
carefully consulted for any light that
it may throw on the nature of the task
at which he may or may not be sue
cessful His mental attitude his ambi-
tons and even his failures are taken
into consideration AS an added precau-
ton many of the plants give the appli-
cants physical examination as well.
If the head Of a certain department
In one of these progressive plants re-
quires help he makes out a written
requisition for the same, and the SUI
perintendent of the employment de-
partment furnishes him with the nee
essary number of workers. If the men
supplied prove unfit for the type of
work to which they are assigned they
are not dropped from the payroll, but
are merely sent back to the employ
ment department and are tried in some
other line of work. In extreme cases
the misfits are shifted about from one
department to another until they land
in some place where their peculiar
qualities can be used. Under this sys.
TEN man or woman is given every
conceivable opportunity to make him,
