War kitchens must be efficient. Com
yeniences will help make them so.
A homemade sponge box or bread
raiser will help make the bread bet
ter. 1t enables the housekeeper to
keep her sponge or dough at the right
temperature so that 1t will rise in less
time. A sponge box or bread-raiser,
therefore, takes much of the uncer-
tainty out of bread-baking. 1t can be
made from an ordinary dry goods
packing box.
Placing the Shelves.
~ box 26 by 20 by 20 inches is
convenient size. About 10 inches from
the bottom of the box a shelf made of
Stats or strips of wood rests on cleats
fastened to the sides Of the box. A
SECOND shelf is placed four inches
above the lower one. The shelves can
be removed when cleaning the box.
Below the lower shelf q sheet of gal
vanized iron slightly wider than the
shelf is inserted. 1t is curved in or
der to make it slip in and stay in place
securely. This prevents scorching of
the lower shelf when lamp is placed
below, and also helps to distribute the
heat more evenly. The door is hinged
and fastened with a thumb-latch or
hook and staple.
Several small holes are bored in the
lower and upper parts of the sides and
in the top of the box to promote cir
culation of air. A cork which has
been bored through the center to ad-
NIT a straight thermometer is inserted
In one of the holes in the top of the
box. A Fahrenheit chemical thermom-
eter that registers as high as 100 de-
grees can be used. Such thermome-
ter may be ordered through hard
ware dealer or directly from an instru-
ment dealer.
Make Safe From Fire.
To avoid all danger of fire, the box
should be lined with asbestos or tin
when a kerosene lamp is used for
heating the box. If an electric light
is used, the lining is not necessary. A
16-candlepower light will heat the box
nicely. A small and inexpensive night
lamp is placed in the bottom of the
box and a shallow pan Of water Is
placed on the lower shelf so that the
air in the box will be kept moist
The bowl of sponge or pans of dough
are placed on the upper shelf. The
temperature of the box should be

Oatmeal Cookies for Lunches.

Oatmeal cookies, a toothsome and
wholesome sweet for the school lunch,
may be made of one egg, one-third cup
full granulated sugar, one cupful rolled
oats, two teaspoonfuls melted fat, one
fourth teaspoonful salt. Beat the egg,
add sugar gradually, and stir in other
ingredients. Drop a spoonful at a
time on a well-greased tin and bake
in moderate oven.

Bulbs Planted in October

Except on the Cumberland plateau
and the higher Alleghanies bulbs can
be planted any time in October in
any part of Tennessee.
Candidum lilies are best planted in
August, but tulips, hyacinths, narcis-
sus and the smaller bulbs can be set
throughout October.
The Darwins are by far the most
satisfactory Of all tulips, having bril-
liant color, long stems and great sub
stance; but one can hardly make a
mistake-the whole tribe is beautiful.
Dutch miniature hyacinths are sat

as large as the old standard varieties.
but the clusters are smaller and they
are more satisfactory as cut flowers.
Among narcissus there are great va
riety-the fragrant, yellow clustered
Campernelle is a great favorite, very
free Towering, early and very yellow.
The Pheasant's Eye narcissus is a late
white variety, with shallow orange
cup bordered with red. Emperor and
Empress are rightly named, for they
are the ruling favorites in this flower.
Crocus should be set in groups in
the lawn. They are cheap and a
group should contain two hundred or
more bulbs, from three to six inches
apart planted irregularly. All the
bulbs succeed best in a very rich. well
drained SOIL

FARM NEWS
Wheat Needs Fertilizer

At the University Farm. Knoxville
where experiments are carried out
to ascertain crop yields, an expert
ment has been conducted for over
ten years to find out whether the
one-year crop rotation Of COW peas
and wheat could be made a perma-
nent farming practice on any soil,
In some cases the COW peas are re-
moved as hay, and again they are
turned under as green manure. The
wheat is considered the chief money
crop. On some Of the small expert
mental fields, wheat is produced with
out COW peas to see how that farming
would compare with where cow peas
are grown. Various combinations Of
fertilizers are also used to answer
the question "What is necessary to
produce a good crop Of wheat?"
Prof. c, A. Mooers, who directs
these experiments, in commenting
upon them, states: Results at least
go to show that while the farmer can
depend upon legumes to help his crop
production, he cannot expect them to
10 everything. Some fertilizers must
be used on most Of our soils. 1t is
evident that only soils and localities
well adapted to both COW peas and
wheat are suitable to such a rotation.

Good Land is Often Wasted

Many farmers have not yet learned
to use their land thoroughly. A con-
crete example of this is found in the
waste land that is to be seen on near
ly all farms. Sometimes a farmer will
spend much. money clearing additional
land when he has good land going to
waste on his place.
Fence corners and division fences
grown up to weeds and shrubbery,
bitches, stumps, unnecessarily large
farm yards, all take up valuable
space.
This is an excellent time to put the
farm in order. An extra rod of good
soil will produce considerable valuable
feed. and will repay cleaning it up.
Let the anti-waste campaign extend
to things that might be raised as
well as to things already grown.

ot7rs this year have frequently
used the expression: upon the far,
mer depends the outcome Of the war"
In part they are right, but the far
mer has only his part to play as an
American citizen, just the same as has
every man and woman in the country
Where any man fails in his opportun-
ity, then chain of people all the way
down fail to accomplish what is eX-
pected Of them.
The farmers business is production.
In doing his work this year the
farmer has shown how he will re-
spond to call of patriotism. In many
cases it was a patriotic move purely
that led him to increased crop pro-
duction. His costs were rising so
rapidly that he saw no prospect Of an
increased revenue. In many cases he
did not lose when the crop was har-
vested and sold. He lost perhaps be-
cause he did not know business or be-
cause his costs would not let him
profit by the rise in prices, But in
either case he was "doing his Bit.
He will continue to do his part rs
the war calls again and again on him
to produce. He will do this to his last
resource.

Purchase Japan CIorer Seed Now

The advantage Of using Japan
clover ON poor spots Of the farm
where red clover might possibly be
desired, but would not grow, is being
shown by j C. McAmis, specialist in
argronomy of the division of extern
sion, University of Tennessee. The
point is made that on poorer soils re-
suits may be expected with Japan
clover, but may be FASTENED by seed
ing the crop rather than by waiting
for it to volunteer. He cites the in
stance of one man who sowed five
pounds Of Japan clover at the same
time that he sowed eight pounds of
herdsgrass in early March and who
had great success. His advice to far
mers is to buy Japan rlover seed now
to be ready for the spring season if
they expect to use any at all.

was well justified.
The marquis was severely wounded

1t for time, so intense was his devo-

renewed his activities at the right hand
Of General Washington, and lost no
opportunity to serve the nation which
was then coming into being. He was
with the great leader at Valley Forge,
where he conducted himself with such
sympathy and understanding that he
was soon as beloved by all the officers
as by the commander himself.

Part of the year ITO was spent by
Lafayette in France, where he did so
much to get substantial aid from the

in actual war with Great Britain.
That victory ultimately rested upon

due to those activities in Paris, for the

Lafayette was received with affec-

SO bitterly opposed his going from
France, and he gained support even
from the powerful Noailles, father of
the Marquise. On Lafayette's return
to America Washington sent him In
1881 to operate against Benedict Ar

came with $500 more men Washing
