Dr. M. Caster, the chief rabbi of
the Spanish and Portuguese COM
munity of England, has resigned
his post to take effect by the end
of the present year. DR.. Caster was
recently subjected to great deal of
petty criticism because he took up
his summer home in Brighton,
which is supposed to be free from
air raids. The chauvinistic mem
bers of his congregation became very
indignant at this apparent lack of
courage and loyalty on the part of
their rabbi and demanded his return
to London or his resignation.

DR.. Jacobson, the well-known Ger
man Zionist and member Of the
smaller Actions Committee of the
International Zionist organization,
received an invitation from the Tur-
kish Government to- come to Con-
stantinople for the purpose of con-
sidering with government officials
an extensive plan for Jewish coloni-
zation in Palestine. DR.. Jacobson
accepted the invitation and will pro-
coed on his mission shortly. DR..
Jacobson was for time the unof
fetal Zionist ambassador to Turkey.
That was at the time when the Zion
ist organization maintained a bureau
in Constantinople, of which DR..
Jacobson was the head. He thus
had the opportunity of coming in
close contact with Turkish officials,
and it was for this reason that he
was asked to come now for the con-
ference.

be fascinating. 1t will be noticed that
these two young ladies are of mar
riageable age and will make splendid
helpmeets for a king, and it would
be useless for a young dude who
likes to sit in the shade and suck a
pipe or cigarette, or hangs around
places of public resort, listening to
or telling stories of doubtful moral

better men and women and peace
and happiness would always abound.

Ropy Milk.
"What is the cause of ropy milk?'
F., is a question of often asked. It is
due mainly to an organism often
found in stagnant water. Cows wad-
ing in such water will have these or
ganisims on their skin. Many Of
them will fall into the milk pail at
milking time. When pastures are all
low ground and flooded recently, it
will be difficult to remedy the trouble
but water that stands in certain
places in the pasture should be fenc-
ed off or water around the watering
tank should be dried up. Barns
should be thoroughly cleaned and
whitewashed.
The strainer or milk utensils will
often cause ropy milk If they are not
thoroughly scalded. The rOpy con-
dition of the milk is not noticeable
until from 10 to "a hours after milk
ing. If milk is pasturized or heated
to 145 degrees before it appears ropy,
for Is minutes, it will not be harm
full to use. "a

A Pretty Small Trick.

Ellsworth News: Some person
with more thought for his own per.
sonal enjoyment than for the proper.
ty of other persons, enjoyed himself
to the extent of several dollars worth
of damage at the l.. C. Lyders garage
some time during the past week.
Mr.. Lyders has a case full of auto
mobile tubes near his front window
and few days ago he had occasion
to change tire for party and took
out one of his new tubes and placed
it in the casing. After blowing UP
the tire he was dismayed to find that
it would not stay up for him. Taking
the tube out Of the casing he found
that it was full of pins holes. The
tube was taken out of new box
with the seal intact, and examining
the box Mr.. Lyders found the holes
where the instrument-no doubt a hat
pin, had gone through the box and
tube. Going to his storage shelf he
found six boxes with holes punched
in them, and every tube had a num-
Der of holes in it.
The person who did this miserable
trick did not do it merely to cause
damage, as he could have caused
greater damage at some other source
but he merely did it for aggrava-
ton. A person who would do a small
trick of this sort evidently has not a
brain larger than a pin head, and
then he doesn't know how to handle
that.

Threshing Reports.

At the conference recently held at
the office of the Bureau of Markets,
Des Moines, the following interpre-
tations ,of rulings were made and
are to be followed in the future:
1. Threshers are to send all re-
ports to county agents at the end OF
each month.
2. All monthly reports sent to
county agents from threshers are to
be forwarded at once to the Bureau
of Markets, 215 U. S. Courthouse,
Des Moines, Iowa.
8. Additional books and monthly
report sheets can be secured from
the Bureau of Markets, 215 U. S.
Courthouse, Des Moines, or from the
Agricultural Extension Department,
Ames.
4. According to the state food ad-
hinistrator, threshers are not requir-
ed to secure licenses in any county
of the state.
5. Neither the Bureau of Markets
nor the Agricultural Extension de-
partment have anything to do with
the price of threshing.
6. Owing to incomplete 1nrorma-
ton at Washington concerning the
list of county agents, instructions
were given to send reports from the
following counties: Bremen, Davis,
Hamilton, Howard, Page, Plymouth
and Polk counties to the Bureau of
Markets, 215 U. S. Courthouse, enum-

SUGAR SHORTAGE IS REASON

There are more ways than one t.

In fact there is way for every one
to deliver telling blow against the
mailman of Europe. But one of the
most effective ways for the farmer ant
the farmers wife, cooperating witt
the threshing crews, is to agree upor
every mans going to his own home

Save ON Sugar.
sage has been sent broadcast through
out the country. The necessity for
saving has been made compulsory,
only two pounds of sugar now being
allotted each person month. The sup
ply in one home is quickly exhausted
when a large number of persons are
to be fed. 1t is also complained that
some persons are still unintentionally
helping the Hun by taking too much
sugar and leaving it undissolved in
the bottom of their cup.
The members of the Hamilton Coun-
ty Home Demonstration Bureau at
their last meeting passed the following
resolution:
eve, the undersigned, resolve to
serve wheatless meals and as nearly
sugarless as possible during the
threshing season.
Food Must be Saved.
That does not mean that the men
will not receive just as good and as
nourishing meals as they have in prev
ious years, but it does show that the
saving of the much needed foods for
our Allies is going to continue at all
times.
Wheatless loaf bread or steamed
brown or corn bread can be made the
day before or entirely wheatless
breads, such as rye bread, can be
bought the day before. Farm women
are not advised to try to make quick
breads unless they have plenty OF help
and time. Wheatless pie crust can be
made from rice flour, rye or barley,
and no cakes require wheat flour.
Angel cakes and sponge cakes as well
as the ordinary dark cake can all be
made with rice flour alone.

have little or no silage feeding ex-
perience that when corn is high the
cost of the silage is prohibitive. Corn
may get too high to put in a silo, but
that stage will not be reached until
corn becomes too high to feed in any
form to beef or dairy cattle. Where
some grain is to be fed to the stock
in any case, it may best be fed in the
silage
A wrong impression exists as to
J the amount of corn in silage. A COW
! or steer eating so pounds of ordinary
silage per day gets only pounds or
about of a bushel of corn day in
the silage while an animal eating the
ordinary feed of around 80 pounds of
silage day gets only little more
than 4 pounds of corn. Because 81
lage can be made to replace con-
siderable part of the grain otherwise
required, as well as a large part of
the other roughage needed to pro-
duce satisfactory gains or milk pro-
duction, the value of silage per ton
rises in proportion as the price of
hay and grain goes up.
In the average of years of cattle
feeding experiments at the Indiana
station, 1165 pounds of corn silage
replaced 145 pounds of shelled corn
and 359 pounds of hay in producing
100 pounds of beef. Figuring clover
hay at fiat price of SIS ton and
corn at SEC a bushel, ton of silage
replaced SIP worth of corn and
clover. With corn at 81 bushel, 81
lage was worth 1922 a ton. With
corn priced at $1.25 silage had al
value of $10.21 ton and when corn
was worth >$1.75 silage had a beef
making value of $3.50 a ton. With
corn at a fiat price of 81 and clover
at $40 a ton, ton of silage replaced
$762 worth of corn and clover. With
clover at SIS the silage went up to
1922 and when the clover was valu-
ed at 500 a ton and corn 81 bushel,
silage had feeding value of 5000 a
ton. For cattle feeding corn is worth
more in the silo than in the crib.
