KEEPING WHEATLEss DAYS

Are you keeping wheatless Mondays
and Wednesdays In your home? The
responsibility of supplying our asso-
ciates In this war with wheat until
next summer has now shifted to your
shoulders, Mrs. American Housekeep.
err The farmer and the shipper have
done their work as far as this wheat
crop Is concerned The harvest has
been gathered. an ample supply reserv-
ed for home use, and the surplus has
already been shipped to Europe.
There will not be another wheat
crop until summer. From now until
then every loaf of bread that finds its
way "over there" to the home OF a
worn and burdened mother or into the
outstretched hands of a hungry child
will mean that someone here in Amer.
lea has kept Wheatless Days.
And what does this mean?
II means first of all that no wheat
cereals are served at breakfast
Do not serve rolls. mullins, hot
cakes, or any kind of bread containing
wheat flour for this entire day. Most
OF the so-called War Breads or Lib
erty breads have one-half or one-third
wheat -four. These are meant for
other days. If you are going to keep
Wheatless Days wholly, you must
serve no bread on these days with a
grain of wheat in it.
Can this be don3?

prepared by the United States Depart

Although creamery butter has al
most entirely displaced farm-made
butter in the markets of the United
States, more than half the butter pro-
duced is still made on farms. The
fact that this butter cannot compete
successfully with the creamery prod
uct is that most of it brings a poor
price and is consumed in villages or
small towns, or is shipped to renovat-
ing factories for treatment and sells
as a. relatively low-grade product. 1t
is possible, however, greatly to i'm
prove the quality of farm butter by
employing in its production standard
practices and greater care than is or
dinarily expended.
To produce good butter 1t is neces-
sary to begin with a good, clean-fiav-
ored milk. In some sections of the
country it is customary to ripen and
churn the whole milk instead of the
cream. That practice, however, is in

Cities Need Rat Defenses.

The city is the great stronghold of
the rat, its permanent refuge and its
last line of defense. The rodents
might be destroyed in all rural dis
tricts and villages, but if not routed
in the cities the whole country would
soon be repopulated with rats from
these centers of infestation.
Old wooden wharves, brick cellars,
extensive lumber yards, ancient facto-
ries. grain elevators, markets and
lmaDy other institutions of cities at
tract and harbor rats. AS rule the
older the city the more rats are found
in it, but even in parts rebuilt after
large fires they are still to be found,
though less abundant. Many large
buildings, rat-proof as to walls and
foundations, have become infested
with rodents through earelessness or
oversight of owners or occupants and
the animals are intrenched behind fix
lures or merchandise. Fortunately it
is possible to rout the rats from these
hiding places.
The biological survey of the q. S.
department of agriculture recon-
mends that cities require that all
buildings to be erected shall be made
under rigid system of IN
spection; that all existing buildings
with rat-proof walls and foundations
be made really rat-proof by closing or
screening every opening through which
rats might enter; that rat-proofing re-
pairs be applied voluntarily to all

WHAT FARMER THINKS
OF THE COUNTY AGENT.

The states relations service of
the United States department of
agriculture has on file thou
sands of letters from farmers
telling of help they have re-
ceived from county agents.
The following is quoted from
a letter written by w. 81. Har-
vey, a farmer Of Long Beach,
CAL:
Farming is no longer a blum
dering job. 1t is growing into a
science. To succeed, organiza-
ton, method, system and scien-
tific knowledge are needed.
These steps are developed and
brought about or made possible
by the, right kind of county !
agent. He is, therefore,

advisable, because it requires high
churning temperature, which injuries
the quality of the butter and causes a
considerable loss Of butterfat in the
buttermilk. 1t is also liable to result
in too much water in the butter. For
those reasons only the churning OF
cream will be considered. 1t is just
as essential to obtain cream under
such conditions that it will be OF
equally good quality as the milk.
Cream may be separated from the
milk by gravity or by a centrifugal
separator. Gravity separation may be
accomplished by the shallow-pan. the
deep-setting, or the water-dilution
method. The first two have been ex-
tensively used and are still in use
where very few cows are MIXED. In
the first method the milk is placed in
shallow pans and set In a cool place
for about 36 hours, usually in cellar
or spring house, and sometimes in
cold water, to permit the cream to
rise. During that time the surface, as
rule, is exposed to the air and fire.

feeding is injured, and its use in the
household limited.
BY the deep-setting method the milk
as soon as drawn from the COW is
placed in a shotgun" can, which is
placed in cold water, preferably ice
water, for 10 hours. Because of the
quick cooling to a low temperature
the cream rises more quickly and COM
pletely than in the shallow-pan meth
cd and is skinned before its fresh,
sweet flavor has been lost. The re-
sulting skim milk may contain as low
as OF per cent Of butterfat though
often nearer O.5 per cent, and is sweet.

after it has been drawn
the loss of butterfat is still greater.
The dilution of milk with water has
been used to some extent, In the be-
lief that 1t aids Dreaming, but investi-

Don't let the garden loaf after the

which may follow others the following
are suggested:
