Germany Has Pledged to Let
Both Military and Civilian
Prisoners Have Home Help

Through the Spanish ambassador at
Berlin arrangements have been made
whereby American prisoners in Ger
many, both civilian and military, will
be allowed to receive money from
home. They will perhaps not receive
actual cash, but will probably be given
credit on prison exchanges.
A. ID Sixty marks (abOut SIS at
normal exchange rates, but probably
considerably less now may be spent
weekly by officers and others of sim
ilar rank; (2) so marks weekly (about
$12) by noncommissiOned officers and
privates.
b. Civilian prisoners-(D Sixty
marks weekly "for men of better So
cial positions;" (2) so marks weekly
for others.
The note of the Spanish ambassador
says: with a view to obtaining par
ticular articles the prisoners are al
lowed at any time to draw on their
credit"
All money sent interned civilians
or prisoners should be remitted
through the Bureau of Prisoners
Relief, American Red Cross, Washing
ton, D. C. Remittances should be
checks, drafts or postal money orders,
made payable to the American Red
Cross. That organization will do its
best to get the remittances through
but cannot guarantee delivery. Thus
far it has had pretty good success, and
such American prisoners as have al

POULTRY CONVERT
WASTE INTO FOOD

(By the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
The central thought to be borne In
mind in considering the growing Of
more poultry as war necessity is the
fact that the keeping of poultry is
means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any 9th
er kinds of stock, and that, without
the poultry, would be absolute waste.
Very clearly, it becomes a national as
well as an individual duty to keep
enough poultry to take up all such
waste materials. AS long as fowls
take the bulk of their feed from such
sources and require to be fed on grain
or other garnered feeds only as a fin
iGhing process, additional food is being
created.
Careful planning must be done, Of
course, to insure the utilizatiOp of as
many kinds of waste materials S5 pos
sible and to avoid overstocking with
any one kind of poultry that would not

known American importer Of live
stock, after making an investigation
Of the industry in Switzerland some
years ago, stated that 'the goat of
Switzerland is the Swiss PEASANTS COW
and Swiss baby's foster mother, a
blessing tC the sanitariums for inva-
lids, and a gOdsend to the poor"
The milk goat is adapted to this
country and the industry is likely to
become of greater Importance every
year. The goat is especially useful
to those who desire a small quantity
of milk and do not have the room, or
cannot afford, to keep a cow. In fact,
q goat can be kept where it would be
impossible to keep a COW, and it will
consume considerable feed that other
wise would be wasted. The fact that
goats are rarely affected with tubercu-
lOsis is another point in their favor.
The demand for good goats appears to
be far greater than the supply.

Food Value Of Fish
..F t.- tL--
Extensive Use Recommended By
Department Of Agriculture

Further evidence that fish deserves
q place In every diet was obtained
from a recent series of digestion expert
ments Ia tile United States depart
ment of agriculture. These tests fur
nished scientific proof that fish, which
has always been reckOned as a val
liable food. is very completely util-
lied in the body.
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfsh, salmon and grayfsh-a va
riety not generally used In this coun-
try-were made into "fish lOaves" and
served as a basis of a simple mixed
diet to yOung men of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat of the
fish were well utilized. Following are
the percentages of protein dIgested t:
Boston mnckerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfsh, 9l!9 per cent; grayfish, 92.S
per cent; and salmon, 93.2 per cent.
The percentages Of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2
per cent; butterfish, 1914 per cent ;
grayfish, o4.3 per cent; salmon, 93.7
per cent.
In addition to the fish loaf, the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit, su-
gar, and bea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 44O
grams of Boston mackerel, All grams
of butterfsah, 40 grams of grayfish, or
355 grams of salmon, indicating that
In every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
The department recently has con-
cluded an Investigation Of the COM
mercIal freezing and storing of fish,
and a bulletin on that subject says
that this method of preserving fish will
hold them FOR many months in the con-
ditiOn in which they were received, but
will not cOunteract deterioration due
to previous heating or mishandllng.
Chemical analysis shows no significant
changes In frozen fish held for q
mOnths-much longer than would be
necessary or profitable in storing fish
commercially.

WHAT MAKES MILK SAFE

1t is mighty nice to know that
you are drinking milk drawn
from blue-blOoded cows by i'm
macu,ate milkmen in palatial
barns.
But, because such is not the
case, the milk is not necessarily
inferior.
Though the COW be an or
dinary grade animal of no par
; ticular color or character. the
barn ordinary and the milkman
clad in blue overalls and Jump
err" the milk may be just as
wholesome.
The United States department
Of agriculture has shown that
keeping the bacterial count of
: milk low depends upon four
! things-clean cows, sterilized
|. utensils, small-tOp pals, a tenn
perature never above so de-
grees Fahr.
Therein lies one of the ways
Of "helping the meat and milk
supply"
The thing you are interested
: in is that the milk you use be
pure and wholesome.
If you can satisfy yourself
that your dairyman observes
the few essentials of cleanliness,
, you need not worry about the
pedigree of his cows, the archi-
lecture of his barn, or the eclat
of his mixers.

And they shall come-the gallant dead

The souls that made of earth's dark

And Nelson's spirit on the wave shall
call to victory.
Oh, hosts of light, that strive and die,

keep BACTERIAL
COUNT very Low
Main Essentials Are Clean Cows,
SteriIized Vessels and Small
Top Pals.
TESTS on ORDINARY FARMS
Result Of Experiments Indicate II Is
Possible for Average Dairyman
to Produce Milk of Very
Superior Quality.

The consumer of milk may some
times be inclined to feel that its purity
is in direct proportion to the cost Of
the plant and equipment from which
1t comes. The dairy division of the
bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, has
demonstrated that this is not always
the fact. Clean milk, with low bac-
terial count, can be produced in Ordi-
nary farm barns, provided a few basic
principles are adhered to in each
case.
How Tests Were Made.
In order to demonstrate the practi-
cal value of the three essential factors
in producing milk of low bacterial
cOunt-sterilized utensils, clean cows
with clean udders and teats, and small
top pailS-tests were made on six
ordinary farms with the voluntary CO.
operation of the dairymen. Five of
the farms sent milk and one sent
cream to an experimental creamery op-
Grated by the department of agricul-
ture. The dairy barns were ordinary
farm barns, scoring on the dairy di-
vision score card less than the average
barns for equipment. The plan was to
determine first the bacterial content
of the fresh milk and cream on the
farm under the existing conditions !;
then to place in operation the three
factors previously mentioned and note
the results.
For the work small-top pals were
lent to the farmers, together with SIM
pie steam steriliZerS. The method Of
operating the sterilizer was demon
stratcd to the farmer, who was then
left to operate without further assist
ance. At each milking the milk was
stirred by means Of a long sterilized
pipette, after which samples were
taken from each can and composite
sample placed in ice water and tests
made within an hour and q half. For
a period of three weeks samples were
taken from each farm under the Old
conditions, and for the three weeks
following under conditions in which
small-tOp pals and steriliZed utensils
were used.
Decrease in Bacterial Count.
On all the farms the bacterial count
of the fresh milk showed a very great
reduction following the installation Of
the simple safety method mentioned.
The bacterial count of the milk on sew
eral of the farms was reduced to 5000
per cubic centimetcr. One of the most
striking reductions was on farm
where the average count was reduced
from $4,000 to $500.
The results of these experiments are
taken by the department of agricul-
ture to indicate that it is possible for
the average dairyman on the average
farm, without expensive barns and
equipment, to produce milk of a very
low bacterial count. These factors,
when combined with other simple fac
tors relating to cleanliness in prOduc-
ing and handlin@. will result in clean,
wholesome milk with low bacterial
count.
