Feed Dried Potatoes.

Dried pressed potato is very eff
cient in producing rapid gains and q
high finish when fed to swine,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture investigators have found in a
search for suitable way to dispose
Of Gull or surplus potatoes.
To give best results, however, dried
pressed potatoes must be fed in COM
bination with feeds rich in protein,
such as oil meal, fish meal and tank
age.
The Investigators also advise mix
ing or soaking such feed with water
for Is minutes before its use.
An experiment, in which were used
12 high-grade pigs between five and
six months of age, was conducted to
determine, first, the value of dried
pressed potato in ration for fatten-
ing hogs and supplemented by feeds
rich in protein, and, second, the eff
feet of dried pressed potato on the
quality of meat produced.
The pigs were divided into four
lots of three each. The first lot, for
checking purposes, was fed ration
of six parts cornmeal and one part

will reappear, and if the same plots
are selected for planting there is
grave danger of serious injury, par
ticularly soon after planting.
The methods employed in CONNER
cial truck gardens and farms to pre-
vent the wintering-oyer of insects in
the field should be put into practice
in the case of the war or backyard"
garden. Entomologists of the United
States Department of Agriculture ad-
wise that as soon as crop has been
harvested the remnants should be
promptly cleared away and burned
with the insects which they harbor.
The same applies to weeds, including
grasses which spring up between the
rows. Rubbish of all kinds should
be carefully collected and destroyed
in the same manner that no shelter
be left for the insects during the win
ter.
Try to induce your neighbors to
carry out the same measures; other
wise you may fail.

Rather than see the Commercial

members of tho Greater Medford Club
have agreed to take charge of the
club for the present and conduct a
drive for new memberships and for

Commercial Club has exhausted all
its resources in the way of reyiving
its organization, and was about to
disband. When it is out of the woods
financially there will be complete
reorganization, and it is probable that
some sort of consolidation with the

effected.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as a basis of comparison.
There was shortage of 176,000,0OO
bushels, or 533 per cent The potato
crop was only within one-third Of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of $40 per cent. Her meat
herds In the early fall showed short
age of 100000 animals.
Those are a few OF the reasons
America must feed her associates In
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat In the war.

Clean Up Garden Trash.

Throughout the United States are
plots of ground cultivated last spring
and summer as temporary war gar
dens. Where these plots were suit
ably located, with due attention to
sunlight, abundant crops of vegeta-
bleS, especially for family use, have
been produced, but quite too fire.
quently such plots have become gen.
orally neglected, with the result that
much material in the form of crop
remnants and rank weeds will remain
through the winter, favoring during
the autumn the continued multiplied
ton of certain forms of insect pests,
and during the winter a safe harbor
for the insects to pass the colder
months. Next spring these insects

Ashland Should Wake Up.
Ashland, Feb. /, 1918

Ashland, Feb. l, 1918.
Editor Tidings: In October, 1917,
Mr.. De Carlow and myself after much
DISCUSSION with practically all of the
business men and others of Ashland
and vicinity agreed to the Importance
and everyone seemed willing and
anxious to help to secure an i'm
proved highway between Ashland
and klamath Falls.
On the strength of all these assur-
ances We had at our own expense pc
titicns drawn for presentation to the
highway commission for the improve
mcnt of this road. One of these pc
titions was left with the Commercial
Club of Ashland, the other with that
organization at klamath Falls.
Late reports from these are to the
effect that Klamath Falls has started
vigorous campaign for the early
completion of a good road between
the two towns. AS a result of their
enterprise all the daily papers of the
state have commented on it.
Both Ashland papers came out
with goodly headlines to the effect
that klamath Falls is going after this
nuch-needed road improvement.
never mentioning one word as to
whether or not Ashland is at all in
terested. Unless Ashland wakes up
some day she will discover that
Klamath Falls through her determin-
alton to get better highway connec-
tions has secured fat appropriation
to build down the klamath river to
some California point to connect with
the Pacific Highway.
l feel certain the people of the up
per Rogue River valley do not real
izo what a tremendous fruit and veg
etable market lies with good road
four hours drive to the klamath ba-
sin. lt.
Having operated auto stages to
Klamath Falls for the last three
summers. places me in position to
secure first hand information regard
ing the wonderful fruit trade that
can be worked up with a good road
between the two places. l was told
by one firm alone in Klamath Falls
that during the fruit season they
shipped in from California a carload
OF fruit every week, and many times
two cars in ten days. A Mr.. Clark
who operated small Ford truck
from Ashland told me in October he
had sold in Klamath $4,000 worth
o. fruit from the opening of the
cherry season, and he would make
several more trips There were 9TH
ere, but Mr.. Clark was the only one
who gave me any idea what could be
done with one Ford truck.
My interes. in this road is not al
together personal, for l don't intend
to operate stages over this route
many more years. for the back-to-
tEe-land movement has got me.

Wheat-corn bread Is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and in so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk, water or a mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat If desired, one cup cOrnmeal
and two cups wheat -four.
Put one and a half cups Of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat Uf
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suffl-
cient only to soften the meal little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place in pan of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake As or 80 min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
a greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn a case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
1t is possible to make yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of -four In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as in the above recipe.

Cheese Work Grows in West.


Work to develop cheese manufac-
ture in the western states, begun in
July, 1916, has resulted in II new
cheese factories, says the annual re-
port of the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, United States Department of Ag-
riculture. improvement of the milk
supply produced better quality Of
cheese and greater yields. One fac
tory reported that the improvement
of the milk supply alone increased
the net income of cheese at least
$4,000 a year. Possibilities for ex-
pansion of cheese work in the west
are said to be almost limitless, but
no effort is being made to encourage
the establishment of factories where
there are not cows enough or where
other circumstances prevent success
full operations.

Woman Champion Maker Of. Flies.

The title Of worlds champion arti-

Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman OK New
York, who for more than a decade has
been making flies for anglers. Some
idea of her reputation among the dis

cred from the fact that she and her
assistants make 100000 worth of flies
for fishing enthusiasts every year.
Miss Coleman makes 800 different
varieties of flies regularly summer
and winter, special orders bringing the
number up to 1900 varieties altogether
for such is Miss Coleman's reputation
that exacting fishermen in the wilds
of America sometimes catch strange
flies that hover owe particular streams
and send them alive in a ventilated
bottle so that she may study and re-
produce them accurately.

Why Torpedoed Ships Sink.

The committee appointed by the

explosions of mines and tOrpedOes
upon the structure of merchant ships
find that there are three principal
causes of loss. First, the existence. of
q forward reserve bunker partitiOned
off from the cargo hold by a non-wa-
tertight bulkhead. A second cause of
loss is the failure to close the water
tight door in the engine room bulk
head leading to the shaft tunnel. A
third danger lies in the main drain
pipes, leading from the bilge pumps to
the different compartments, and pass
ing through all ~watertight bulkheads,
which are generally fractured in tor
pedoed compartments. There should
be non-return valves On the end of
these pipes. The committee recon-
mends that bulkheads should be- pro-
tected as far as possible from flying
splinters, at least temporarily, by using

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter of the blood.
Without good red blood a man has q
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock of ones condition. If the
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an old-faShiOned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
so years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
&c. 1t is made up of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root,
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
in ready-to-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for a vial to DR..

Kidney disease carries away a large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for a while, such as
Anuric double %strength), obtainable at
almost any drug store. 1t was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain a
trial package by sending ten cents to
