 Directions For Canning Peaches.
 Sterilize jars and cans. Before plac. ing rubbers on jars, put them for i've minutes in one pint of hot water fn which has been dissolved oae level teaspoon of soda.
 Select firm peaches. Scala for IS seconds by putting them in a wire basket or cheese cloth sack and plunging into boiling water; then peel by hand or by rubbing peeling off with cloth Cut into halves: fill sterilized cans or glass jars. but do not crush. Vary the de- gree of syrup according to the quality of fruit being used. Under no circumstances pack a poor quality of fruit m heavy syrup; neither should high grade peaches be packed in light syrup. Too much sugar will de- stroy the freshness and natural flavor of the fruit. For syrups use five pounds. eight ounces to one gallon of water. For the sweetest peacher or lower grades use from three and one-half to four and one-half pounds of sugar to one gallon of water Put sugar in cold wa. ter and dissolve, bring slowly to a ooil and boil for one minute.
 Never u-e the early varieties of peaches for canning for market as early fruit is usually very watery and will not make nice pack. Peaches may be canned for pies with put peeling or without sugar. Wash yell and rub 'fuz" off with coarse cloth split in halves, fill the can and cover with hot water. Peaches cut in quarters or eighths will lowder .heir market value, Exhaust in tin cans by putting them in canner. Have ihe water nearly up to the tep of the cans and bring to boil and boil for three minutes. Tip cans and process by boiling in No cans for Is min lteS.
 For glass jars lay rubbers on and place top on or screw half way down. Have the water in canner nearly up 10 the top of jars and about the same temperature of the contents of jar. bring to boil and boil for three msn. utes. Seal jars and process by boil ing for 20 minutes. When jars are taken out do not let cold draft strike them.

CORN NEEDED FOR
 bREAO-- --SAvE II
Do Not Feed Corn To Your Stock- Utilize Pastures-Corn Will Soon
 Be Needed For Bread.
By L. w. Osborn, College of Agricul-
 ture. University of Arkansas

By L. w. Osborn, College of Asricul-
 ture, University of Arkansas.
 Save the corn as far as possible in feeding the live stock. The wheat crop is short and we may need our corn for bread before another year Be sure to use your pastures to the best advantage. Have plenty of COW peas, soy beans, peanuts and sorghum. Remember, hogs make their biggest and cheapest gains on these crops Use corn only to harden hogs. Pork hardened on corn ration two or three weeks before planting is found to be quite acceptable to packers.
 Spanish peanuts planted we'll along in July will mature and can be blow ed out and cured on poles in the field in the usual way The nuts can oe picked and marketed for oil or cop- fectionary purposes, and the tops used for hay. Soy beans can be cut for hay or allowed to mature and harvested for seed if the season is long enough. There is a shortage in the supply of AhdHiiitoll SoN dt IhiS NihlS, anu a good demand for seed is likely to prevail next season. Paint manufac' turers are making strong bid for supplies for soy bean seed to be used in making oil Cowpeas can be har vested profitably for hay and the seed obtained at the same time. Late corn can usually be used to best advan- tage when the entire crop is harvested and the whole plant used for feed.

 To sterilize the jars. put in the bot tom of the pan a towel or an inverted pie pan to keep the intense heat from breaking the jars. Lay the jars side down, also put in the pan the glass caps or screw tops. Cover the jars with cold water and add a teaspoon of soda. Bring this solwly to the boiling point and continue for 15 minutes. Dip the rubbers in boiling water when ready for use
 Two quarts of crushed berries will make enough juice to can 10 quarts of berries. Put berries in preserving kettle; heat slowly to boiling. crush, strain through cloth. pressing out all the juice, To one quart of this juice add two-thrds of a pound of sugar and make syrup. or to one gallon of juice add three pounds, nine ounces sugar to make the syrup. Let the syrup cool
 Select berries uniform in size and quality. Put berries in colander or sieve and wash by pouring or running water over them before they are stemmed. as much of the juice of tse berries will be lost by handling them too much, Afer stemming the berries ;ake jars from the water and stand on towel that has been wet in hot water.
 Fill the jars with berries and pour ,n the cooled syrup full to overflow Ing. Press very carefully the fruit from the sides with the handle of q silver spoon or paddle for this pur- pose to allow the air to escape Wipe he top of the jar, put the rubber on md lay the glass top on or screw the ,op half way down. Place jars on wooden rack in water the same tenn perature as the contents. letting it ome to within two inches of the tops of jars. Have a tight cover for the basin to keep in the steam Do not count time until the water begins to ooil. Keep it boiling steadily for the ime required.
 Exhaust in quart jars two minutes. Seal the jars air tight promptly al the end of that time and process 10 min. 1tes Remove them from the boiling water, being careful not 10 allow d iraft to strike the glass jars If cans are used. the enamel lined can must be obtained as tin will turn them white.

THE STUMBLING BLOCK.

The great liuour problem is PROV
Ing; the stumbling block in the path
Of Congress. We have watched with
no degree OF interest and misgiving
he workings OF our law-making
body with reference to this great
question that affects so vitality the
moral stamina OF the nation at all
times, and especially in the present
crisis when tho very best service of
the manhood OF the nation is re-
uulred. and when our own needs and
the needs Of our allies for food sup
plies are so great. Think OF it! Our
lawmakers quibbling and hesitating
on this great moral question at a
time like this, when the President
and the nation at large are calling
for the conservation OF foodstuffs.
And Congress will not say THOU
SHALT NOT" to the makers OF H.
quors. who will worse than destroy
several millions Of bushels Of va'ua-
Bile grain, not only taking it from the
food channels. but transforming it
into the liquid hell that has de-
bauched its millions in the past and
will thus be enabled to continue to
debauch its millions--maybe the
very soldiers that are being massed
Tor the defense OF libertyi The
shame OF it is appalling. And we
find the name Of Senator Smith, Of
South Carolina, among those Sena-
tors who voted down the war prohi-
biti0n bill that passed the House.
and he one Of the representatives Of
state that is standing in the prohi-
bitiOn column. Verify, how empty
the cry for conservation Of fOOdstuffs
when some OF our legislators prosti-
tutc themselves before the mighty
liquor demon, which takes food from
the starving and gives the nation in
return distilled damnation
1t is shame that the American
nation must thus be listed as lower
i'm moral stamina than poor, strug-
Cling Russia. who gave up her vodka
for the chance Of gaining liberty.
The pity Of the situation is surpassed
only by the humiliation Of it.

o. Mr.. Cooks, and we hope that every
farmer in OcOnee county will read 1t ,
follow the example Of Mr.. Cook and
become. as he has become, independ-
ent Of outside influences, independ-

side Of the man who makes his living

Judgment, just as Mr.. Cook has used
Judgment.
The dependence upon the farmer
for food Is aptly put by Mr.. Cook In
his statement that the doctor cannot
eat his pills, the lawyer his books,
the merchant his hardware, the
newspaper tho railroad man his
cross tie, ard rails. But all these
men have their places to fill In the
great scheme OF commerce. Each
does his own work in his chosen
sphere, and there must be harmony
Of action. unity of purpose, if the
greatest good is to come to the
greatest number Of pcople--farmers.
merchants, business men, laborers
Each is a necessary element Of COM

we do away with commerce we
destroy agriculture, and when agri-
culture Is thrOttled we knock from
under commerce and prosperity their
strongest ally Each is dependent
on the other. and neither can attain
its iull worth independently.
Cooperation is one Of the great
elements that will enter into the So
luton Of many of the farmers trou-
blcs Suppose, for instance, that Mr.
Cook. instead of paying his tenants
cash with which to buy present
needed flour from that speculator,
had sold them -four. at reasonable
profit, from his own ample store!
What II change it would have made.
The unscsIpulous dealer would have
been unable to beat" the tenant.
Mr.. Cook would have made good
profit. and the tenants betterment Of
condition would have measured the
difference between Mr.. Cooks fair
profit and the dealers illegitimate
gains. And so it goes!
Let us do our best, bending every
energy to helping our country and
our fcllow-man in this world crisis.
Our best is the maximum OF what We
can do; it should he the minimum
