Summer Storage of Coal Is
Way to Prevent Another Fuel
Famine the Coming Winter

Before the winters fires are cold,
the United States fuel administration
is urging the storage Of fuel for next
winter. Every effort that can be made
to prevent repetition of the coal
shortage of this year will be made
State administrators have already
taken up next years problem, and they
will devote most of their time to IL
throughout the spring and summer.
The state council of defense will join
In the campaign. Through every off,
cial source all coal users will be urged
to begin buying and storing coal now
for next year. Every private user In
particular is urged to put in his next
winters coal at the earliest possible
date, and get out of the market.
The purpose behind the efforts OF
both the fuel administration and the
state councils Is to keep the coal mines
working throughout the summer. Only
comparatively small amount Of coal
can be stored at the mines. The only
places where 1t can be stored in guam.

other famine next winter is on the
premises of the individual users and
the dealers.
Also transportation facilities are
much better in summer than in winter
More cars are available. There is nc
danger of bad-weather blockades. The
traffic congestion of the winter months
is not summer problem.
There is plenty of coal. Enough
and more than enough, can be mined
if the mines are kept working all the
time. But it cannot be mined unless
it is taken away from the mines. And
it cannot be taken away from the
mines unless there are purchasers.
Next years traffic problems will In
all probability be as great as those OF
this year. The only way to prevent
coal shortage Is to begin piling 1t up
and continue to do so throughout the
summer.

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

Hens of the medium-sized breeds
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
Island Reds and Orpingtons-are best
suited to backyard conditions. Large
hens kept in close confinement are like
ly to get too fat to lay well. Small,
nervous hens are apt to develop such
vices as egg eating and feather eating.
The bad tendencies mentioned do not
prohibit the keeping of large and small
breeds in small back yards, but makes
it necessary for the keeper to use ex-
traordinary care to keep them in good
condition and productive. White and
light-colored varieties are not desira-
BILE for small back yards, because their
plumage soils too easily.
As a rule it is most satisfactory to
buy hens of local poultry keeper or
dealer in live poultry. Desirable small
fiocks are frequently offered by people
who are obliged by change of work or
Of residence to sell their poultry. Deal
ers in live poultry everywhere sort out
from their general receipts the hens
that show good breeding and quality to
sell to back yard poultry keepers.
When satisfactory stock cannot be OBJ
tanned locally, the advertising columns
of newspapers should be consulted, and
the hens bought from the nearest
breeder who can supply what is want
ed at a reasonable price.
For the back yard flock kept to pro-
duce eggs, it is not necessary to have
hens Of extra good standard quality.
What breeders of standard poultry call
choice utility hens are as good as any
for egg production and cost but little
more than ordinary mongrels. Hens
of this grade in the medium-sized
breeds usually are little under stand
ard weights, and have superficial
faults, as unsoundness of color, or ir-
regularity of markings or Of the shape
of the comb, which in no way affect
their laying capacity, but make them
unfit for exhibition and undesirable for
breeding purposes. b
When buying hens in person partic-
ular attention should be given to the
general condition-whether the bird
seems vigorous and lively, and to the
appearance of the comb and the condi-
tion of the feet. Healthy hens have
bright red combs and bright eyes. A
slight paleness of the comb is simply
an indication that the hen is not laying
at the time but bird whose comb has
either yellowish or blush cast should
be rejected, for these are symptoms of
internal disorders. The skin and scales
of legs and toes should be smooth, and
the soles of the feet soft and free from
cOrns.

As Destroyers of Insects and
Plant Pest, Birds of Great
Value to Garden Growers.

It's maddening TO SOW seeds in your
garden, lot or farm land and in due
time to discover that the "fowls of the
air have devoured them all up"
But could we but remember that
without the birds we could raise little
or nothing of anything, we should not
be so chagrined, declares writer in
the Buffalo News.
Experts who have studied the ques-
ton of birds in relation to crops and
crop conservation agree that our feath-
cred companions are friends indeed.
AS destroyers Of insects and plant
pests, birds have great value to the
farmer and gardener.
Food Administrator Hoover has en-
| tered the lists on the side Of the birds,
and 'shopes that the people of the Unit
| ed States realize how closely related
| to food saving is the protection and en-
| couragement of insectivorous and mi
| gratory BIRDS"
We do not know just what effect
| this statement of Mr.. Hoover'S will
have upon the farmer or gardener.
We have grown up to look upon
some birds with a certain degree Of
suspicion. The crow, for instance
how many farmers feel friendly to-
ward the crows? Very few; Jim Crow
is one of the most unpopular of birds,
yet he has a voracious appetite for
grubs, and should not perhaps be be-
! grudged the few sprouts Of corn that
he pulls up.
And certainly the robin should be
encouraged, as he is no Stacker in rid
ding the garden Of insect pests.
Altogether the balance is in favor OF
the birds, and we hope that more spe-
cific advice on the matter will follow.
and thus we may be educated to the
value of birds as food conservation
1 auxiiiaries.

Split Infinitiye.


The "split infnitive' is term used
by critical grammarians to designate
the placing of an adverb or a phrase
between an infinitive and its sign "to,"
thus separating or disconnecting the
infinitive from a word that properly
belongs to it. Following are exam
pies: 81 went there in order to per-
sonally inspect it," instead of II went
there in order to inspect it person
ally" or sin order personally to in
spect it :" ''the acid is allowed to
slowly percolate'; "the glare of the
fire seemed to completely light the
city" Each of these sentences splits
the infinitive by placing words be-
tween the infinitive and the ito" that
belongs to it.

Varieties Of Cheese
Catalogued

(By the United States Department OF Ag-
riculture.)
The distinct varieties of cheese num-
Der probably about Is, although the
names given to the manufactured kinds
total several hundred. This statement
is made in the United States depart
ment of agricultures bulletin No. Cos,
varieties of Cheese, Descriptions and
Analysis" which is a revision of for
mer government publications on the
subject. More than 40 names Of cheese
are given in the bulletin and are of To-
cal origin, usually having been derived
from towns or communities.
A list of the best-known names ap-
piled to the distinct varieties or groups
Is as follows:
Brick, caciocavallo, camembert,
cheddar, cottage, dry, edan, emmental,
gouda. hand, holstein, limburg, neuf-
chatel, parmesan, roquefort, sapsago,
scAnno and trappist. Descriptions and
chemical analyses of the foreign and
domestic cheese mentioned in the bull
Ietin are given alphabetically.
Attempts to make emmental and
Iimburg cheese in this country have
been very successful, the bulletin says.
These varieties are being made by 500
factories in wisconsin alone and by
factories in Ohio, New York and north
ern Illinois, Investigation also has
shown that camembert and cheese
Of the same general nature as rogue
fort or stilton, can be made success
fully in this country.
sThere is no reason" says the bull
ietin. .fto believe that any variety of
cheese imported cannot be made here.
although with present knowledge it
would not be advisable to try to make
many kinds. Probably scientific in
yestigation would show how to inl-
prove on the average quality of the
cheese made in the old countries, for
1t must be remembered that only the
very best is shipped by the European
makers, the rest, or poorer grades, be-
ing consumed at home. Unfortunate
" a feeling prevails in the. United
States that cheese equal to the best of
the European product cannot be pro-
duced here. This feeling is based upon
lack of knowledge of actual condi-
tons In Europe and of the conditions
affecting the qualities of cheese. Ger
tain parts of Europe probably are bet
ter favored by desirable climatic con-
ditions and by more general dissemina-
ton of the bacteria or molds necessary
to the characteristic ripening of diff
ferent varieties, but even the best aver
age natural conditions can be improved
on by artificial means since necessary
molds or bacteria can be grown in pure
culture and utilized anywhere. How
ever, the cost may render it imprac-
tcable."
