God Bless the Household That
Boils Potatoes With Skin On

There 10 no more careless, thought
less. happy-go-lucky, wasteful. prodi
gal. and responsibility-evad ma
ture than yours-and one hundred
million more Americans.
There is too much courage built
into you for your own good. You
don't now you are in q fight until
you are hunting tor a club with an
enemy after you with sword and gun
It your dear ones starve. il there
are black want and bitter suffering
throughout the nation. your big
heart will break with grief.
Isn't it better to put your big
muscles at work now-to keep SUI
ferlng and grief away? There is no
more keen. efficient and productive
mind than yours. once it is AWAKE
and knows it MUST WORK.
Wake up! Think! Act!
Get busy Protect your
own-protect us all-if you
want W all to protect you
and yours.
There il not enough food to go
around. Entire nations abroad are
starvtng-men. women and children
are dying like flies today in some
countries. OF plain, sheer starvation.
We must send them millions OF
tons of food, and we will. There
will be less for you. Wake up to it.
You will have less to eat.
But you need less. You waste
enough to supply the difference.
Stop it! Every time you have po-
tatoes for dinner you waste enough
OF the peelings to keep q starving
Ally alive for a day. Stop it! Don't
brush and BRUSH the skin of. saw
ing ALL the potato. Boil old pota-
toes with the skins on. When done
the skins can be peeled without
waste.
| Some Simple Savings.
Make breadpudding from your
bread crusts. It's good. We loved
it twenty years ago. Don't market
by phone, go pick the foodstufts out.
Don't run up bills. Pay cash-you
get more and you save by it. Have
fish for dinner twice q week. It's
cheaper, very nourishing and splen-
did brain food.
Eat corn bread half the time;
there is strength and vigor in it, and
1T saves wheat. Go through your
household affairs-STOP WASTE!
go through your business affairs.
STOP WASTE!
Turn Potato Feelings Into
Cannon ea4
And buy Liberty Bonds. You can
buy them on the partial-payment
plan-and you can save enough
every week OUT OF WASTE to pay
for them. The nation needs your
aid. You must do your share IL
you would have the full protection Of
the nation for yourself.
And you must buy bonds because,
II you DON'T, you may very possibly
not be able to buy FOOD. II Russia

DON'T BE AFRAIDi

An Irishman got a job with a cir
Gus as the impersonator of a lion. He
was fitted up with a lions skin and
taught to growl in imitation of a wild
beast But his nerve failed him when
he was put into cage with ferocious
looking Numidian specimen. He
whimpered and retreated as the other
lion approached. When it was at last
almost the limit Of Pats endurance the
other lion informed him, Don't be
afraid. i am an Irishman myself"
This story always saves us when
we call on a business lion. He may
growl and try to scare us but we al
ways say, Don't be afraid; he's just
man himself" And even though
he is impersonating a lion or a bear,
he doesn't fool or freighten us.

TOBACCO BUYING ONLY
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED.

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. ga pub
lished report that the American To-
bacco Company had withdrawn" from
the Central Kentucky market "pre-
"sumably on account of the war situa-
ton" was given official denial at local
Offices. .
Captain J. a. Hutchinson, represen.
tative of Amer lean Tobacco Company
said: "On account of the congestion
at country markets and at redryers
here, a temporary suspension of buy
ing was advised from the Louisville
office. 1t is nearly impossible to get
cars and the tobacco has piled up IN
quantity. There is danger of loss
through funking, and it would be folly
to keep buying when we could not
move what was on hand. / do not be-
lieve that the suspension will be nee
essary beyond few days. The Amer
lean Company has not withdrawn from
the market. Just as soon as the con-
gestion is relieved, normal conditions
will be restored"
1t was explained that congestion hal
nothing to do with the war situation
and is in no sense new condition. 1t
time when difficulty is encountered in
moving it's pun chases. 1t has happen
ed repeatedly in former years.
One effect of the suspension OF
sales on the local market will
be to enable the various buying COM
panies to move tobacco that could not
be handled during the severe weather.
PADUCAH, KY, Feb. 6.-Buyer in
the dark tobacco district have received
instructions to discontinue the pur
chase of tobacco, which indicates that
the break with Germany means that
no more tobacco will be purchased in
the Black Patch as long as diplomatic
relations remain in their present con-
dition.
The order came Monday and the
buyers absolutely refused to make any
trades. Growers were greatly disap-
pointed becarse tobacco is in excellent
condition for delivery and many loads
were hauled back to the farm.
WINCHESTER, KY, Feb. 6.-Orders
have been received here by representa-
tives of the American Tobacco Com
pany to discontinue purchases on the
loose leaf market The order follow
ed a few hours after the local men had
been notified to purchase 80 per cent.
of the offerings until further notice
1t is said the order Is general throug
out the hurley belt.

SPRAY OUTFIT IS ESSENTIAL
Many Places On Farm Whsrs e 70
Nssdsd-valuabIs In Orchard,
Garden and HOnhouso,

No farm should be without q GOOD
spraying outfit. There are 80 many
places where It is valuable. The o.
chard, the garden and the henhouss
all need It. The little bucket spray.
ers are just an aggravation for any
use where pressure and speed are
needed, though they are fully o. use
ful az one could expect them to be.
For spraying one or two trees, or for
the henhouse. they will do very well,
but in large field Of potatoes, q large
orchard Of large trees, or where force
enough is needed to throw the spray
into dense foliage, they cannot be ex.
pected to do the work as well as q
more powerful pump. The lever ac-
tion Of the barrel pump handle adds to
the power exerted, and the larger CYL
inder gives faster flowing stream and
a greater pressure can be maintained
with the same nozzle. A barrel spray
er, that takes barrel without a head
and is attached to the rim of the bar
rel, will give good service.

The problems u ths marketing q
The vast amount o6 perishabls food

ety Of the 'ftuit or vegetable Crown
and the amount Of this variety avail.
able, often are important factors IN
shaping market demand and prices.
The quality Of the product. as innu-
enced By choice Of soils, fertilizers
and cultural methods, is another i'm
portant consideration affecting mar.
keting success.
Since the growing Of perishable
fruits and vegetables is on a rela-
lively small.scale basis, while the
large aggregate demands Of the great
market centers have brought about
the existence Of dealers who handle
such produce only in large lots, the
questions Of production which later
influence marketing can be dealt with
satisfactorily in most cases only on a
community basis. This fact and the
recognition that many other problems
could be met satisfactorily only by CO.
operating groups Of producers, has
led to the organization of cooperative
marketing associations in many Sec
tions devoted more or less extensively
to the production Of such perishable
crops.

In Demand in England for Manufac

There is a possibility that the sun
flower will be included among our
regular field crops 11nd that instead If
struggling for place in the rear end
Of the garden it will be carefully cul-
tivated and harvested for sake of its
seed.
From England there comes the re.
port that big demand exists for the
seed from which to manufacture oil.
It has long been recognized that the
plant is both hardy and productive and
IL means Of utilizing the seed could
be discovered 1t would take rank with
the grains. Poultry keepers have set
a certain value upon the seed for keep
ing hens in condition and Frightening

It has even been claimed that the
stalks could be preserved in silo like
corn fodder and make q rich food for
cattle. In neither case, however, has
any wide field of usefulness been
found.

healthy wood on all sides of the wound,
to get rid Of the disease. Then paint
the wound with common white lead
and oil paint, to each quart of which
has been added one teaspoonful of BIZ
chloride of mercury dissolved in tur.
pentine (about one ounce). Paint all
canker and pruning wounds as soon as
made.
Begin at the top and prune the tree
to secure low, broad-spreading
branching system, with open center, to
admit sunlight and air from above. Do
not remove strong lower limbs If they
can be given sufficient light from above.
Aim to secure bearing branches
throughout the main body of the tree.
If the tree is shaded by too much
growth at the top, the inner and lower
twigs will weaken and die instead of
bearing fruit.
Cut back the strong, upward-grow-
ing central limbs to outward-growing
side branches. This induces the tree
to spread laterally instead of growing
too high. It admits light through the
center to fruiting branches below. II
limbs cross each other or crowd badly.
thin them out enough to admit filtered
sunlight to all parts of the tree.
In pruning cut limbs close, so as to
leave no stub or knot. A protruding
knot will not heal. A wound cut close

BALANCED RATION FOR HENS
In Experiment Conducted by Ohio Sta
tion Fowls Gained In Weight and
Produced More Eoos.

Feeders Of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs have claimed for years that these
animals must be fed a "balanced
ration. Special attention has been
given to balanced rations for dairy
cows. By this is meant that one feed
constituent should not be fed in ex-
cess, while another is lacking for the
upkeep of the animals body. The pro.
tein must be in certain proportion
to the sugars, starches and fat In the
feed. Now the hen comes in for her
share in this scientific feeding.
Ten times as many eggs were pro-
duced by hens fed a well-balanced
ration as by those given only corn,
wheat and oats in an experiment con-
Quoted by tie Ohio experiment sta
tion. The balanced ration consisted
Of three parts by weight of corn and
