EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR
 DRYING PRODUCTS
Equipment Needed For Drying
 Products.

The equipment used in preparing food materials for drying may be as simple or as elaborate as the needs of the case may require With two or three marrow, stiff bladed kitchen knives, a larger, more flexible knife. and an ordinary wash boiler, the housewife is equipped for preparing and blanching such quantities of the fruits and vegetables as will meet the needs of the ordinary household. While somewhat tedious, hand pairing and slicing of apples, pears, peaches, apricots, onions. carrots, potatoes, beets, and cabbage may be done with out special equipment.
 If the quantities of material to be handled will justify the expenditure, the purchase of a few special uten- sils will greatly reduce the labor in volved. An apple parer of the type which pares and cores or pares, cores and slice can be purchased for ap- proximately $1.75. A llraut cutter one or more steel blades fastened at the edges of slots cut in the board may be purchased or made by a blacksmith and will be useful not only in slicing cabbage for drying or for making sauer kraut, but also for slicing any of the root vegetables or such fruits as apples. A rotary slicer consisting of a curved blade fastened to a disk rotating at right angles to a metal trough in which the vegetables to be sliced are placed is a great con- venience, as the blade may be ad- justed to cut slices of any desired thickness, and the instrument may be used for slicing meats cheese. or bread as well as for cutting vege tables. Such slicers are made in va rious sizes costing $2 to $10.

INCREASE. in POULTRY URGED
Poor Policy for NoVices to Begin on
Large ScaIe-QuEte Likely 70
LEAD to Failure.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
It should be borne in mind that an
increase in poultry production is sought
not for this year alone, but for the en-
tire duration of the war. 1t is not
urged that novices without expert
ence engage in poultry keeping on
large scale. That is recognized as
poor policy at any time and is more
likely to lead to failure and eventual
decrease than to a steady and perma-
nent increase in production. What Is
urged is that those who are already
poultry growers to some extent and
possess the information and ability
necessary successfully to increase their
stock and production should do SO.

ment Of Agricultural
The problem of suppresSing weeds
is a many-sided one and an important
part Of the management of the farm.
Successful crop management includes
successful weed management.
Larger Crops Mean Fewer Weeds.
Generally speaking, the larger the
crops, the fewer the weeds present.
This is especially true with small
grain and hay, since good stands of
these crops will tend to smother out
weeds. Furthermore, pastures that
are given good care by top-dressings
and by not Over-grazing always con-
tain fewer weeds and more grass than
those poorly managed.
Special Methods of Handling Certain
Weeds.
The farmer should know the kind of
weeds which he has to fight, because
in the case of some of them special
methods have been discovered which
greatly reduce the amount of work
necessary. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has issued bull
letins treating individually number
of the worst weeds and these publica-
lions may be obtained on request.
Rotations and Weeds.
An important benefit from practic-
ing rotation is in the control of
weeds. If land is planted to the same
crop year after year, certain weeds
have ample opportunity to make top
growth and mature their seeds, and
these weeds therefore become firmly
established; but if the land is planted
to different crops in succession these
weeds do not have the opportunity to
make nearly as much Roadway. Fur
thermore; adopting a rotation usually
means the growth of grass, clover, or
other forage crops. These crops not
only discourage many kinds of weeds
by their shading effect, but also give

SELECT BETTER DAIRY COWS
Raising of Best Heifer Calves Will Pro-
vide Means of Cutting Out Low
Producers.

prepared by the United States Depart
meut Of Agriculture.)
The war has greatly increased the
demand for dairy products, and 1t is i'm
portant that they be produced economi-
cally. In order that the quantity of
dairy products may be large and the
production economical, more and bet
ter cows are needed. The raising Of
all the best heifer calves will provide
cows enough to permit the culling out
of all low producers.
Every owner of dairy cows should es-
tablish definite standard, and all COWS
that do not measure up to the require
ments should be disposed of for beef.
Whether dairy cow should be rejected
Or retained should depend ordinarily
on production, as shown by the milk
scales and the BabcOck test.
Farmers who are too busy to test
their own cows may now have this
work done for them at nominal cost by
joining a cow-testing association. Such
an association ordinarily is an Organi-
zation of about 26 dairy farmers who
comparatively employ a man to keep
records of their cows. The tester

ard breeds there is the so-called Mon
grel goose, which is a hybrid made by
crossing one of these varieties, or the
common goose, with wild geese.
Crosses of the varieties of geese, espe-
cially of the Toulouse and Embden,
are occasionally made, but without any
apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emb-
den, Chinese, and African are easily
the most popular breeds Of geese in
this country, the first two greatly lead
ing the other breeds. All economic
breeds of geese are kept primarily for
the production of flesh and feathers;
and although their eggs are occasion
ally used for culinary purposes on the
farm, there is no demand for them for
food purposes in the markets.
The Toulouse, the largest Of the
standard breeds of geese, is a good
layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs
year. is docile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
it's dark pinfeathers make it slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Embden.
The Embden, a large white goose,
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
fair layer and is usually less prolific
than the Toulouse. This breed has
white pin feathers, is a rapid grow.
er, and natures early.
The African, a gray goose with a
distinct brown shade, about the size
Of the Embden, is a good layer and
makes a good market goose, although
it has the Objectionable dark pin
feathers. It is a rapid grower and
natures early.
There are two standard varieties
of Chirese geese, the Brown and the
White. Both varieties mature early
and are said to be prolific layers and
rapid growers, but shy and rather diff
f1cult to handle.
The wild goose is bred to some ex-
tent in captivity, and the young are
sold to hunters to use as decoys. The
wild gander is used to cross with
either the common or the purebred
goose, producing the so-called MOngrel
goose. This Mongrel goose is highly
priced as a market goose, but is sterile
and cannot breed.
The Egyptian goose is a small,
brightly cOlored goose, kept for orna-
mental purposes and rarely seen in
this country. 1t resembles the wild
goose in shape and weighs two pounds
less in each class.
