EAT PLENTY OF
VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
FLoRlDlANS CAN DO IT!

Under the present unusual condi-
tions. when it is desirable to save sta
pie foods and to reduce railroad trans
portation to the minimum, special at
tention should be given to growing
and consuming garden products and
fruits. They can be used largely to
supplant the principal food substances
needed in the diet and which are now
obtained chiefly from the concentrate
ed foods needed for export. Those
substances are starch, sugar, vege-
table acids and fiber, fat, protein,
mineral substances, and some other
substances which for want Of a more
simple name are called vitamines.
The following foods are named by
the University of Florida extension
division as substitute sources Of these
important substances. Peas. beans
and similar legumes would be the
most useful as protein (meat) savers.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes and dash.
Gems as starch savers. Fruits, sweet

Not Practicable

It is not practicable to eliminate
meat from the diet entirely, and Ill
effects might result, While beans
and peas contain more protein than
other fresh vegetables, it is not the
same as the proteins of meat, milk
and eggs, and it should not be used
TO the exclusion of the others. How
ever when beans and peas are freely
used, less milk, meat and eggs are
needed. For this reason these vege-
tables are not called meat substitutes,
but meat savers, and should be re-
garded as such.
Fresh fruits and vegetables can be
used in large quantities with little
danger, provided they are carefully
cleaned and handled. 1t is even safe
to say that there is absolutely no dan
ger from the fruits and vegetables
themselves, the only dlfflculty lying IN
the fact that, being bulky, they quick
ly satisfy the appetite, and sometimes
lead people to leave out of their diet
the NOR substantial foods-meats,
cereals, etc.--which are needed eth
err for fuel or for bodybuilding pur-
poses. This fact should always be
kept in mind in finding uses for these
bulky foods.
AS a whole, Americans eat meat
beyond their need and none is likely
to reduce this element in the diet tC
a point below the required amount

I'm every city where the vacant lot

Der is represented most accurately by
an atlas Of the United States-there
has been in full sway a movement hav-
ing in view the preservation and con-
servatfon and wise distribution of the
abundant crops produced. Demon
STATIONS in drying. canning and pre-
serving of fruits and garden produce
were given all summer from one end

little danger of the wastage or loss OF
the city lands abundance. And that
Is not all.
City officials and civic organizations
have actively concerned themselves
with plans for next year. Fall plow-

ment of the soil and the securing and
proper distribution of fertilizers are
being considered. More systematic and
more thorOughgoing methods for the
direction and handling of the city gar

out. In a word. the thought and in

EACH BREED HAS ITS PLACE
All Have Been Made and Developed on
General Principle of Practical
Quality and Value.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture(
To the novice in poultry keeping it
often appears that there is no real
necessity for so many breeds and va
neties as have been standardized in
America. Further acquaintance with
them, however, shows that although
color differences are in most cases
made merely to please the eyes of
persons having different preferences
for color, the differences in shape and
size which make breed character have
been developed with view to adapting
each to particular uses or particular
conditions.
Leaving out of consideration the
breeds kept as novelties, most Of which
originated before industrial progress
created large demand for poultry
products, all the standard American
breeds of fowls have been made and
developed on the general principle of
practical quality, the foundation of
breed, character and value.
In harmony with this principle the
common classification of breeds &C
cording to their place in the general
scheme Of poultry production divides
them into three principal classes, name
ly, laying breeds, meat breeds that are
not as ready and persistent egg pro-
ducers as the laying breeds, and not as
meaty and as easy to fatten as the
meat breeds, yet combine in one 1ndi-
vfdual fowl very good laying capacity
with very good table quality.
The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalusian,
Ancona and Campine are well-known
breeds of the laying class; the Brah-
ma, Dorking, and Cornish of the meat
class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte,
Rhode Island Red and Orpington Of
the general purpose class.

Feed Has Much to Do With Strength

The brood sow's ration has much to
do with the strength of the litter, &C
eOrding to results obtained at the Iowa
experiment station.
In a lot Of gifts fed a ration of ear
corn plus one-tenth as much tankage
by weight, 90 per cent of the pigs were
classed as strong at birth. The per-
centage Of strong pigs with corn alone
was 50. The percentage with other
ratiOns follows:
ShelIed corn, chopped clover and
molasses, So per cent strong; ear corn
plus clover in rack, 81 per cent strong
ear corn plus alfalfa in rack, "a per
cent strong.
The cost of newborn pigs with ear
corn and clover was 81 cents, with ear
COTE and alfalfa 80 cents, with ear
corn and tankage 10 cents, and with
ear corn only Al cents. These cost
figures were based on corn at SO cents

SILAGE FOR DAIRY ANIMALS
pertinent Stations - Larger
Amount of Nutrients.

Experiments conducted by expert
ment stations demonstrate that silage
is superior to corn fodder for dairy
cows. Cows receiving silage in the
ration produced 10 per cent more milk
than cows receiving corn fodder. Hen
ry in Feeds and Feeding" states that
"Silage gives better results than dry
corn fodder for the reason that cows
fed the succulent palatable silage usu-
ally consume a heavier ration than
those fed the dry fodder and hence
have a larger amount of nutrients
available for milk production after
the maintenance requirements of the
body have been met"

TRAINING FOR YOUNG BULLS
Should Be Taught to Be Led by Halter
When Quite Young-Caretaker
Must Be Master.

When quite young, the bull should
be trained to be led by a halter. BY
the time he is year old, strong ring
should be inserted in his nose so he
can be led by a staff. It is not safe to
try to lead a grown bull merely by
halter or rope fastened to his ring. In
leading by the staff, the caretaker
should always walk at the side and
never in front of the bull. One of the
essentials in training the young bull is
that he must be taught that his care
taker is his master. Bulls known to
be vicious usually are handled with
care, with the result that fewer acct
dents are likely to occur with them
than with those considered gentle.

will make a handsome profit upon the

CONTENTED FOWLS ARE BEST
Easier to Keep Hens. Healthy and to
Reproduce Stock Under Colony
House System.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
A contented hen is a profitable pos
session, and contentment with the hen
is commensurate with the comfort of
her home Hence henhouse building
should receive more than passing no.
tice from one who would proftably
produce poultry.
Hens do not do well in apartments !;
even semidetached houses are not de-
sirable; separated (colony) houses,
each with it's own yard, give best all
around satisfaction.
It is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system If the birds are allowed
free range. Breeding stock, and espe-
cial1y growing chickens, should have
an abundant range, while hens used
solely for the production of market
eggs may be kept on a very small area.
