Sherman Township.

County agent Humphreys was in
u township Thursday mixing the
gopher poison according to the late
laws governing this subject. The
township buys the poison and the oats
while the county agent mixes it and
the residents are required to put it
where the gophers will be exterminat-
ed. It is gratifying to note that the
gopher is not nearly so numerous as
was the case a year ago when this
township began the practice Of poison
ing them instead of paying bounty on
the dead gopher.

Cottage Cheese Meat Substitute.

Cottage cheese has about the same
food value per pound as meat. Fif-
teen pounds Of cottage cheese, the
equivalent Of Is pounds of meat, can
be made from 100 pounds of skim
milk. The IS pounds of whey fed to
pigs will produce about 2 pounds of
pork, while the 100 pounds of skim
milk fed to pigs will produce a to 5
pounds Of pork. Better make some
cottage cheese and save meat.-Ex.
