PAY FOR TIME LOST

The regular day rate of pay was al
lowed to all Hog Island workers who
turned celebrators last Monday.
Rear Admiral Bowles issued an or
der that all employees were to be al
lowed for the time lost. OF course, the
workers were too happy at the armistice
news to even think of what financial
losses they suffered from the jubilee they
INDUCED in. But the yard officials re-
membered their previous services and
the motives of the celebration.

therein 1t brought almost as much JOY
as the armistice.

Wanted for Home Service


Atlanta, Ga, August 25.-Men en-
towed with the element of leadership
are needed by the Army and Navy
Y. NJ. C. A. to serve in the camps of
the Southeast.
DR.. w w. Alexander. general re-
cruiting secretary for the War Per-
sonnel Board of the Y. M. C. A. War
Work Council. declares that there is a
pressing need for home service, and
that this affords splendid opportun-
ity to the man of middle age who is
not able to go abroad under the Red
Triangle.
THE Y. NJ. c. A. needs men for
overseas service, of course, but the
home camps must not be forgotten"
explained DR. Alexander. From now
on until the first OF the year the
Southeast must recruit 1000 men for
the home camps. This means that
each state will be called upon to fur
nish 25 men per month per state to
serve the soldiers in camps such as
Gordon, Jackson Wheeler and the
others. The constant growth of the
home cantcnments and the growing
'e~,and for the Y. NJ. c. A. work
makes it necessary to recruit "Y"

There Is No Best Type of Construction,
6ut There Are Reliable Conccrn3
and Unreliable Concerns-5e Sure
You Buy of One That You Know

Any gasoline or oil engine may run
hot and stick, and there may be sew
eral causes. The cooling system may
be clogged, or the water too low, or
the lubricating oil may be of poor
grade, or perhaps the Oiling system
is clogged and does not feed well, An
engine will also tend to run hot if'the
carbureter is not so adjusted as to give
the proper mixture, and also if the
spark is not timed correctly. An over
load continued for some time will
usually heat an engine, especially if
it is run at high speed,
The best tractor designers and ex-
perts, who are giving their entire time
to studying these problems, are unable
to arrive at any definite conclusion as
to the best type Of construction.
One should buy a tractor manufac-
tured by a reliable company which has
a representative or an agency close at
hand, where repairs or expert help can

VELVET BEANS USED IN
FEEDING BEEF CATTLE

One pound of velvet bean meal or
velvet beans in pod is equal TO one
half pound of cottonseed meal for cat
tie feeding
Velvet beans are composed of dry
matter, 877go; crude protein, 1872;
carbohydrates. 51.7%; fat, 3.8%o Vel
vet bean meal is supposed to be the
same since It is usually made by
grinding the bean and pod together.
Velvet bean meal is sometimes adul-
terated, however, by adding pods that
come from beans that have been
threshed for seed or for hog feeding.
Therefore it is safest to buy the beans
in the pod They can be purchased
more cheaply and as result are
more economic feed-Carl G. Filler,

SUCCESS OF TRACTOR
DEPENDS ON OPERATOR

Any inquiry about farm tractors is
rather difficult to answer without
knowing something of the nature of
the soil, the size of farm and the shape
of fields.
In Tennessee, farms are usually too
hilly, fields are small and irregular in
shape, and frequently it is impossible
to secure careful operator. There
are a number of tractors in the State
that are giving good satisfaction. 1t
would seem that the success of trac-
tor is dependent upon a careful oper'
ator to a great extent. Many farmers
find it necessary to replan their farms,
to make their fields larger and more
regular.
| believe there are more kerosene
burners in this section than gasoline
and there is no way of determining,
from the reports we have been able
to get, definitely which is the most
satisfactory. l would suggest, if one
wishes to use kerosene, that he make
sure he gets a tractor that is designed
to burn kerosene. Trying to burn
kerosene in an engine that is designed
to burn gasoline is seldom satisfac-
tory. In burning kerosene, there is al.
ways more danger Of damage to the
machine If the adjustments are not ex-
actly right, 1t requires a careful oper-
ator. 1t is important to use the right
kind of oil and l would suggest. if one
ever uses kerosene tractor that he
find an oil that is satisfactory and then
stick to it. 1t is well to get oil that is
recommended by the manufacturer of
the tractor. James Arentson, farm
machinery specialist, division of ex-
tension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.

STORE VEGETABLES WELL
so THEY WILL KEEP WELL

All root crops are stored for winter
in practically the same way. Storage
is accomplished by excavating a shall
low pit five inches deep, three feet
wide, and any length. Roots or cab
bage are then placed in the pit, with
the top of the mound thirty inches
above the surface of the ground. A
slight covering of straw or leaves is
placed over the vegetables TO keep
them clean Soil is then placed over
the straw or leaves to a thickness of
eight to twelve inches-enough to
afford protection against the coolest
days in winter
Eeets. carrots and turnips should al,
ways have the tops removed before
they are placed in storage, as the tops
will rot and cause the roots to decay.
Care should be taken to avoid bruising
the roots at the time OF placing in
stCrage.-C. r. Rrehm. division of

By r. NJ. Murphy, Livestock Special

ville.)
We go a visiting to a livestock farm
and ask that we be shown the live
stock thereof We are first taken out
to the barn for a look at the horses
and there are led out, for our gratifl-
cation, specimens" which embody the
perfection of grace and beauty and
their owner recounts with facility the
noted sires and dams in their lines Of
ancestry, calling particular attention
10 their respective two-minute per-
formances and, by chance referring to
Brown Squirrel, Hal Patch, etc, whose
names we, Of course, repeat after him
as an Indication that we have q cor
VerRational acquaintance with them.
Frankly, VIC are not looking for just
this kind OF horse and as we admire
theTu question occurs and recurs to
our minds az to the use that is being
matte Of them In connection with the
operation OF the farm. There is no
douHting the pleasure we should have
enjoyed Bpinning along as a result OF
their spirited action but we have been
brought out to the farm in a Ford and
have made arrangements to return by
the same method.
By chance we obsnrve that the ;iv
cry stable to which we are directed
for transportation out to the farm has
been converted into a garage and when
ws express preference for nice
team, we are informed that horses are
no longer used for such purposes and
that Ford will go anywhere.
In the face OF such an argument. we
acquiesce for we can see that from the
stable owners standpoint he is exactly
right. His patrons are more concerned
about quick service than about pleas
nra rides Their chief concern is to,
make trip and return as quickly as
possible. The horse has been rele-
gated to the past and this will occur
with greater rapidity as good roads
come. The wonder of it all is that this
farmer should, becs dse of sentiment
for the things of the past, still cling
to the light horse which he himself
can not use on his farm and which has
been superceded on the highway,

Cook potatoes, both sweet and
white, with the skins on whenever
possible, as this retains some nutri-
ment, saves material, labor and time
Mashed Potatoes. Boil the pota-
toes. Pass them thru a vegetable
strainer, or mash with potato mash
ell. For four or five medium sized po-
tatoes, add two level tablespoons but
ter, One-quarter cup of hot milk and
a little salt. Beat with a perforated
wooden spoon until very light and
fluffy. Turn in a hot vegetable dish
served at once, set in a pan of hot
water to keep warm, without the lid,
as the lid keeps the steam in and
makes them soggy.
Baked Potatoes. Wash potatoes
thoroly, either white or sweet pota-
toes. Bake in a hot oven. 1t will take
moderate sized potatoes about 40 min
utes. II a soft skin is desired the
skins may be creased over before
they are placed in the oven. The pO.
tatOes should be eaten as soon as
thoroly tender. Break open, and if
there must be a delay of five minutes
or more before they are served, make
two gashes in the top Of each potato
at right anafes to each other. Gently
squeeze and let a little Of the steam
escape.
Saratoga Chips. Select smooth,
long, medium sized potatoes. Pare
and cut them into thin, even slices. |
The slices are best cut cross-Wise Of |
the potatoes and very even so they
will cook quickly and evenly. Let the |
slices stand in ice water for one hour |
so they will be cold and crisp. Dry on !
cloth and cook in hot fat, keeping |
the slices separated with a skinner
Cook until brown Drain on unglazed !
paper; sprinkle with salt and serve
hot or cold
EscaIIoped Potatoes. Wash, pare
and slice potatoes cross.wise. Cover
bottom of creased baking dish.
Spread over layer of bread OF crack.
er crumbs, and dot with butter and
sprinkle with salt. Arrange alternate
layers of crumbs and potatoes, having
the crumbs on top. Pour over hot
milk or white sauce and bake in the
oven. A lid should be on the baking
dish until potatoes are nearly cooked.
Remove lid and allow top to brown.
Left over cold boiled potatoes can be
used this way
