Roots Supply sueeuIenee.

The chief function of roots in cattle
feeding Is to supply succulent feed.
Under general farm conditions the
quantity of nutrients grown per acre
In root crops Is small in comparison
to the cost of production. These root
crops. however, can be preserved dur
ing the winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed each
dny, and therefore have special appli-
cation when only few cows are to be
fed. OF the different root crops, man
gel wurzels furnish the greatest yield
per acre. Other kinds of beets and
turnips and carrots may be used. Tur-
nips, however, should be fed after milk
Ing rather than before, as they cause
a bad flavor before milking. Carrots
impart desirable color to the milk.

Next wash with tepid water until

Now the hams should be hung In

slowly, lasting 80 to 40 days.
After the hams are cured and smok-

against vermln, and then bagged.
These hams improve with age and are
in perfection when one year old.

plane Is one of the most important
things about his work. BY this time
he will have learned what tools to use
In working about an airplane and what
tools not to use; how to make wire
loops and how not to make them. He
will know what makes an airplnne fly,
and. above all, he will have learned
that the pilots life Is in the hands of
the mechanic. because upon the proper
and careful rigging of an airplane de-
pends its air worthiness. He will also
learn about prOpellers, why, when they
rotate in the air. they travel forward.
and he will learn how to take care Of
them and to repair them. Next he will
learn something about the motive pow

Get Field Training.
Then, after about two and one-half
months of this work. comes the day
to which all mechanics look forward,
the day when the actual field work of
keeping the ships In the air" begins.
There are flying officers ut each of the
mechanics schools. They are there
for the purpose of flying the planes
which the mechanics work on, In order
that the fighting service squadrons ut
the front may be simulated and that
the mechanics may be given their final
training. The airplane mechanic is
assigned to theoretical service squad
ron. and that squadron In connection
with the school and remains there for
two weeks doing nothing but the Work
In which he has been trained. AT Z
o'clock In the morning all the ships
which are to be flown that day (and
his will be one of them) are taken
from the hangars and assembled. ready
for their pilots. The ship of our me
chanic Is ready, his pilot comes and
gives it brief inspection. knowing that
the mechanic will have done his duty
well, straps himself in, and after test
ing out his motor for minute or two,
signals that he Is ready and takes the
air. After short flight, he alights
with the report, perhaps. that the ship
is flying with one wing down, or some
other defect. The trouble is then
diagnosed and remedied and soon the
pilot is again In the air, this time with
the ship flying perfectly.
Two weeks of this work and the
mechanic will probably have demon
strated to his instructors that his
training Is completed. He Is gradu-
ated us highly trained mechanic In,
perhaps. the most delicate of trades.
and Is sent out to take his part In
the struggle. He will soon find him

Rice In Ice Cream.

There really Is something new In
ice cream. 1t comes of the freezing of
rice and milk as prepared CONNER
cially by company in Portland, Ore.
The rice and milk Is steam cooked In
sealed cans. and Is ready for the table
without further preparation. unless the
consumer desires it hot. For Ice cream,
the only thing necessary is to place
the milk and rice In the freezer, flavor
to suit the taste. and proceed precisely
the same as in the ordinary manner.
The rice kernels, II will be found, are
completely disintegrated by the freez-
Ing. and according to reports, the prod

WOMEN WORKING
AS cow TESTERS
TWenty-Seven Now Performing
Work Reported by Special
lists as Above Average.
IMPORTANT TASK OF DAIRY
Associations Would Increase II More
Testers Were Available-Some
Training That Is Easily Ac-
quired Is Needed.

The twenty-seven women now en-
ployed ms COW testers by some of the
1853 cow-testing associations In this
country not only have done satisfac-
tory work. but have achieved results
above the average, according to dairy
specialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
The main reason why women have
begun to do this work Is the scarcity
of cow testers. Most Of the testers at
work when the war began were young
men and many of them are now in
military service. Because of the short
age of workers the past year has seen
the number of cow-testing associations
organizations of farmers who want
to keep records OF their herds-de-
creased from 472 to 1853. although there
has been an increased demand for such
associations, and Ii is believed the num-
ber could easily be doubled If enough
testers were available. The work does
not require great physical strength. 1t
does demand some training, but this Is
easily acquired by women.
The first woman COW tester in the
United States, Miss Bessie Lipsitz, be-
gan work less than three years ago
with a cOw-testlng association in Grant
county. Wisconsin. Wisconsin now has
IS women COW testers, Iowa six, and
three other states have one each.
Demonstrates at Dairy Show.
At the national dairy show in Co
lumbus, o., Miss Ruby Hawn, one of
the women COW testers of Wisconsin,
gave daily demonstrations of the test
er's work that attracted considerable
attention aud brought much favorable
comment. She explained the details of
the work and demonstrated all parts
of 1t by going through each operation
precisely us she had done hundreds of
times before while at work In her aSso-
citation In northern Wisconsin. She al
ways had attentive audiences and
proved that a woman can do the work
Just as well as a man. When asked II
women can handle the feeding prob
lens as well as men. she replied:
"They can learn"
Women to Stay In Work.
Considering that the testers get free
board and lodging. the pay Is thought
to be satisfactory. The women cow
testers are paid the same as the men
and receive from $50 to s75 month
besides board and lodging. Convey
ance to the next farm is furnished In
some associations. while in others the
tester provides her own conveyance
and the farmers furnish free stable
room and feed for her horse.
The employment of women as cow
testers came as war measure. To
keep the work on satisfactory basis.
women must continue to receive the
same pay as the men for the same
work.
How to obtain more testers Is a Sc
rious problem. Partially disabled sol
diers, in some cases, may be Induced
to take the necessary training and en-
list for the work. The most radical
step, however. and the one that prom
ises the most far-reaching and imine-
diate results, Is the employment OF
women us COW testers.

FEEDING RULES

A few simple guides for feed
Ing may be summarized as fol-
lows:
l. Under most circumstances
the cow should be fed all the
roughage that she will eat up
clean, and the grain ration
should be adjusted to the milk
production.
2. A grain mixture should be
fed In the proportion of one
pound to each three pints or
pounds of milk produced daily
by the COW. except In the case
of cow producing flow Of 40
pounds or more, when the ration
may be one pound to each three
and half or four pounds of
milk. An even better rule Is one
pound of grain each day for ev-
cry pound of butterfat that the
cow produces during the week.
8. Feed all the COW will re-
spond to In milk production.
