In breeding each spring he uses
eggs from selected hens mated with

late winter, all the available broody
hens are given eggs. Sometimes as

All the eggs he cannot handle with
hens himself, he "lets out" as far as

Window Boxes, Which May
Be Started at Small Cost,
Make Home More Cheerful

Window boxes made up of Towering
plants, give an added touch of bright
ness and pleasure to the home life and
may be started at small outlay, ac.
cording to M. f. Ahearn, professor Of
landscape gardening in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Both indoor and outdoor boxes mayI
oe used to good advantage said Pro-
fessor Ahearn, "and the most salts
factory outdoor window box may bel
had by using eyergreens such as red
cedar arbor vitae, and white and blue
spruce.
These plants should be from G to
Is inches in height and may be ar.
ranged effectively by keeping the
taller ones in the center and back, and
the smaller ones in the foreground.
Such box, after being we'll started,
will require little attention and need
not be protected from wintry weather.
"F0r the indoor window boxes, Bos-
ton fern, German ivy variegated peri
winlde, red geraniums, nasturtiums,
snapdragon, and vinca alba may be
used with good effect. All the flowers
should be removed from the plants as
soon as they begin to fade. In order
to obtain the best results the box
plants should be given an application
of fertilizer once or twice month.
An east or south exposure will be
found best for most window plants

FOURTH ARTICLE
Saving the Tread

Rough streets tempt one to drive in
car tracks. 1t is more comfortable for
the passengers and may be economy to
protect the car, at times, from bumps
and unusual vibration by running in
car tracks, rather than over rough, cob
blestone pavements, and the tires won't
be injured noticeably by doing this
occasionally-it is the continued prac-
tice that shortens the mileage.
Quite often the pavement along IN
side edges Of rails is very rough
and may result in cuts to the rubber
and bruises to the fabric. Rails on
hills are to be avoided as much as pos
sible as they usually have sharp, thin
splint?rs on the edges, which are liable
to cut or puncture the tires.

Food Which Will Provide the
Most Protein at Smallest Cost


Qcrom the United States Department of |
Agriculture)
Because protein is so Important to
the health of the body, 1t is not con-
sidered desirable in diets consisting of
the ordinary combinations of food ma
terials to cut down the quantity In the
daily food below 31a ounces per adult
man and proportionate amounts for
women and children. M
How then can the housekeeper re-
duce the cost of food and still provide
enough of this necessary but expensive
material? The best way is to learn
how much protein is provided by diff
ferent kinds of food and then choose
the kinds which will furnish what the
family needs for the lowest cost and
with the least waste. This task will be
easier if the housewife will group In
her mind the foods which are rich in
protein and then consider ways of sub
stituting less expensive for more ex-
pensive ones.
The lists given below include some
of the more common foods in which
protein is abundant ana show in gen.
eral way the amounts and proportion
of protein in the different kinds as
they are purchased; that is, including
refuse, such as bones and gristle, egg
shells, etc.
Approximate amounts of protein in
common food materials:
Fresh meats:
Beef contains from 2 to 3 ounces of
protein per pound.
Veal contains from 2 to 3 ounces of
protein per pound.
Mutton contains from 2 to pa
ounces of protein per pound.
Lamb contains about "a ounces of
protein per pound.
Pork contains about 2 ounces of pro-
tein per pound
Poultry-chicken duck, goose, tur-
key, etc, contain from to PA ounces
of protein per pound.
squirrel, rabbit, wild birds
etc. contain from to PA ounces OF
protein per pound.
Prepared meats:
Corned beef contains 2H ounces oi
protein per pound.
Dried beef contains 4 ounces of pro
tein per pound.
Pork sausage contains 2 ounces o1
protein per pound
Canned chicken contains ounces o.
protein per pound.
Fresh tish-cod, haddock, halibut
mackerel. perch, salmon, shad, etc.
contain from IA to 21a ounces of pro
tein per pound,
Dried fish contains from 2Ia to /,
ounces of protein per pound.
Eggs contain ounces of protein pc
pound.
Dairy products:
Whole milk contains about 1 ounc
Of protein per quart.
Skim milk contains about 1 ounc
of protein per quart.
Buttermilk contains about ounce o
protein per quart.

Unusual Wear on the Side Walls.
Driving In Car Tracks

Probably one of the most common
and inexcusable abuses of tires is driv-
ing them in ear tracks or deep ruts.
The easiest riding road is sometimes
the hardest on the tires.
There may be times when bad roads
cannot be avoided, but side wall in
jury to the tires under such circum-
stances should not, in fairness, be con
sidered as an indication of fault in the
quality or construction.
1t is possible, under very severe con.
ditions, to wear through the side wall
rubber in very short time, but ordi
narily the wear indicates neglect. If
it is necessary to drive occasionally
over bad roads, reverse the tires, i. e.,
place the worn side toward the car,
vulcanize rubber over the most worn
parts, to protect the fabric from moist
ure and disintegration, and it will be
found that the normal service from the
tires will not be greatly affected,
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1918-01-08

A very common form of "tire vast
age" is the unnecessary wear ON the
tire tread caused by a careless use of
the ear brakes, the inaccurate ADJUST
ment of the wheels, or the improper use
of anti-skid devices. OF these, prob
ably the most common is the careless
use of brakes.
Knowing how to stop, when neces-
sary is considered more important than
a knowledge of how to start the engine,
therefore, the use of foot and emer-
gency brakes is taught to the new car
owner, early. Locking the wheels viii
not bring the car to an immediate
stop; the momentum and weight win
cause the rear wheels to slide along for
n considerable distance and grind off
the tread of the tires in the same man
ner that street car wheels are ground
flat in spots.

Condensed milk contains about !
ounce of protein per 12-ounce, can.
Whole-milk cheese contains about
ounces of protein per pound,
Cottage cheese contains about
ounces of protein per pound.
Dried legumes;
Beans contain 8 ounces Of proteein
per pound
Cowpeas contain ounces Of protein
per pound.
Peas contain ounces of protein per
pound.
Peanuts contain B ounces Of protein
per pound.
Nuts:
Almonds contain nearly 2 ounces Or
protein per pound.
Walnuts contain little over ounce
Of protein per pound.
Cereal foods;
Wheat flour contains 2 ounces pf
protein per pound.
Cornmeal contains a ounces Of proj
tein per pound.
Oatmeal contains 2 2-3 ounces Of
protein per pound
Bread contains l Il ounces Of protein
per pound.
In considering the amount Of prot
tein supplied by certain foods, one
must make distinction between the
cooked and the uncooked state. Dried
leguines and cereals for example.
usually take up considerable water
during cooking, and thus become more
bulky and dilute. A pound of baked
beans supplies the body with about
one-third as much protein as pound
of raw beans. Oatmeal takes up so
much water in cooking that a pound
) of boiled oatmeal has only about one
eighth the food value of pound Of
raw. A pound of raw beans or oatmeal
would have practically the same total
food value after cooking as before, but
their weight would be greater. In the
same way, cupful of raw beans or
oatmeal would make several cupfuls
WHEN cOOkeu.
When eggs are beaten, as in making
oSlelets and meringues, air Is forced
into them and they become more
bulky. In this way given number Of
eggs can often be made to serve more
persons than if they are prepared with
{ out beating; but each person gets less
eggs. II meat is made into stew, it
{ goes further, because the water adds
to the bulk of the dish; but the finished
, dish has much lower protein and fuel
, value than the original meat. When
: meat is cooked without water, as in
roasting, brollng or frying, there is not
8 much change In its composition.
A housekeeper in choosing foods al
r market rightly compares them in their
raw state but when she is considering
them as they are actually served al
e meals, she must remember these differ
ences in cooking. They should also
e be considered in choosing dishes al
restaurants. Changes in cooking
f cereals are discussed in another bulle
tin of this series.

Severe Application of Brakes.

Avoid letting in the clutch quickly
while the engine is running fast--such
treatment is not good for either car or
tires. Spinning the driving wheels in
mud, snow, or ON slippery roads may
grind off the tread rubber and some
times snag the tread along the entire
wheel circumference.
Anti Skid Devices Frequently Misused.
Anti Skid devices are helpful, under
certain conditions, but great harm will
result from continued use when not
actually needed. Some devices are
noisy and there is q temptation to
fasten them tightly to the tires, caus-
ing the cross, grips to cut and gouge
into the tread and fabric under
meath. When cross grips become worn,
sharp and rough, they should be re-
placed otherwise cutting Of the cover
cannot be avoided .a...
Another common cause of excessive
woar on a tire is faulty alignment of
the wheels Your car should be in
spected occasionally by mechanic to
correct this fault.

Effects from Crease

If garage floors are not kept clear
iand the tires stand in pool of oil
the trcads soften and the traction
strain in service stretches the rubber
in wavy outline.
Probably the most damage is ex.
perienced from grease in differential
housing, working out into the brake
drums and then onto the side walls OF
the tires. This may result from loose
bearings, too much grease, or from
using grease not suitable for the diff
ferential.
Grease and oil can be very easily re
moved by rag saturated with gaso
line.
