IN THE CHILD'S INTEREST

ally do not like to have sand in the
house but il you have a suitable place
for it, ii need not mako any trouble.
An old kitchen table turned upside
down with the legs cut short and put
on the other side, makes a good table
for sand. n piece of burlap or denim
placed under the table Keeps the sand
from being scattered over the house.
With clay. simple little cradle may
be made, The child first rolls a piece
into a ball. cuts it in half, with string.
one of the halves forms the lower
part of the cradle. The other he cuts
in two, using one piece for the top, and
remodeling the other into a ball for
baby.
Birds nests with eggs can be made
with clay: also apples, oranges, cups
and saucers. and even animals may Ge
attempted Plasticine is the best kind of
clay to use, as it Is easily handled and
is always ready.
FOR THE VERY YOUNG
For little children. before they are
old enough to use scissors tearing pa
per is an engaging occupation. Tear a
piece of old newspaper into an oblong
shape. 1t may be any size, about two ny
four inches, we will say. BY folding this
in the middle, it will make little tent
Again, fold in thirds, one piece turned
up and one down. for a chair Turn both
ends down, for table The child can
tear paper into trees, q ball, doll tables,
and many other simple shapes.
When the child Is old enough he can
begin to use scissors, but be sure to pro-
vide a pair with blunt points that can
not possibly hurt him. These will afford
endless hours of amusement and profit.
Have you found that He cuts papers
all over the floor" or course he does.
but use this occasion to teach him neat
ness. Let him have his own little waste
basket and he will delight in picking
up the papers.
Have him cut pictures from old maya
zines, and paste them into a book, nude
from MANILA wrapping paper. To make
the book, take any desired size of paper,
fold several sheets in half, and sew
them together along the crease. pref
ty picture might be pasted on the front
page, or the child could draw one on It..
This will take many days work, but
all the time he will be learning many
lessons in patience, concentration, neat
ness and accuracy and will be develop
ing talent IL he is apt at drawing. IL,
in his cutting. he comes to a picture that
has story, tell it to him. Do not criti-
cize his work, as this may discourage
him, but see to 1t that he does the best
he can.
Let the child draw with colored cray
ons or "crayolas." You will be surprised
at how soon and how WE'LL under proper
guidance he will be able to use this
means of expressing himself.

The Digest a Booster

A war emergency call to increase the
production of livestock, which will as
sumo the proportions of well organized
nationwide campaign, has been an
-nounced by the Agricultural Digest. New
York city The plan, which has been
named the Liberty Livestock campaign.
enlists the support of every farmer not
only to raise to maturity one more mig.
or COW or sheep, but to spread the COS
pei of more and healthier livestock for
increasing the meat supply of this coun-
try and the allies. In suburban centers
enough pledgers will be secured to pur-
chase carload of livestock which will
be turned over to a farmer who will
board" them and who will be paid far
their care and feed.
Pledges Will be distributed over the
country which will hold farmers ana
other patriotic livestock growers respon-
sible for at least one more animal In adj
dition to those already owned. Even the
pledges OF boys and girls will be sought
through the pig clubs, and various asso-
Citations with war winning aims will he

more livestock.
The campaign is highly systematixsd
on national basis. Each pIedger will

Peanut Oil for Cooking

Crude peanut oil. filtered through a
piece of filter paper (the kind sold bv
drug stores), proved so profitable for
use in cooking that Georgia woman
10 whom the method was suggested by
the United States department of
agriculture now filters her own oil and
uses it in nearly all her cooking.
The Georgia woman, wife of an oil
miller. had been paying her grocer
nearly 81 gallon for cooking oil.
while her husband sold his unrefined
oil to refinery for about $l.2O n
gallon. She sent small sample of
the OIL to the bureau of chemistry of
the department with the request that
IL possible, she be told of a method by
which It could be made suitable for
household use. The filter paper meth
Cd was suggested, and it's success was
told in letter which said:
The sample that you returned, also
that which | have filtered myself, has
surpassed my best expectations and
am now using II in all cooking ex-
cept biscuit. My husband is delighted
over what so simple filter does for
his office
REFINING METHOD
The simple method OF refining is re-
garded as important because it illus
rates the ease with which a local mar
ket for cold pressed peanut oil can be
developed by mill operators Special
lists of the department for several
years have been urging peanut oil
crushers to make at least a part OF
their oil from shelled peanuts, pressing
them cold. The specialists warn, how
ever, that not all crude peanut oil will
be entirely satisfactory when simply
filtered. because some of it Is made
from stock that contains too many ran
cid nuts In some mills where the
whole nuts are pressed. the field dirt
is not entirely removed from the shells
and often pieces of vines and trash arc
not entirely taken out, and when these
are cooked and pressed with the pea
nuts the oil will not have sweet
flavor.
But If the mills will press sound
stock, preferably after removing all or
nearly all the shells, and with little or
no cooking, and then filter oil as
soon as possible after 1t comes from
the press the specialists say they can
supply all the salad and cooking oil
needed in their communities and in
time build UP considerable demand for
the home filtered product

BACKYARD FANCIER
For the benefit of city jewellers who
keep few hens and use largely kitchen
waste as their feed, ! want to say few
things by way of advice: Do not dump
down the refuse of the kitchen and DIM
ing room all in heap. The scrap food
schould be selected and prepared If you
are expecting best results Parings OF
apples, potatoes turnips, etc, are suit
able as chicken feed only when they are
cut up fine as part of the ration. They
should be cut up, or chopped up with a
sharp clean Ratchet il that is easter;
| the meat, too. chopped up pretty fine,
and all turned out into a bowl. OF pail.
With them should be put some ground
feedstuff, such as bran, cornmeal or
middling, and as much liquid as is
needed to make a moist mash. If the
scraps are all dry 1t may be well to mix
them as dry mash, but remember that
fowls consume and require plenty OF
fresh, clean water. And remember, too
that hens must have some green food
Iii you are to get the best that is possple
to them.
A GOOD RULING
The national food administration
department has sent out warning to all
who raise poultry that no hens or pullets
can be sold from now on until the last
day of April. But hens or pullets may be
traded in for breeding and for egg
production. This seems very harsh
ruling, but it shas been made neces-
| sary II we are to save the nations
SUPPLY of poultry stock.
Many farmers have been induced to
sell and sell, almost until they have
nothing left because such big and
unusual prices were offered for poui-
try meat. 1t was like killing the goose
that laid the golden egg. The fable
says the owner Of that goose thought
If he would kill her and get all the
sold out of her in one bunch he would
be forever rich. But when he killed
her the tiny little yellow nodules
which, left alone. would have deveI-
9ped into big golden eggs proved to
be almost valueless-and his goose
was gone. Uncle Sam wants to avoid
such folly, and so he says you shall
not Kill your profitable stock

Creameries Increase

Development Of creamery work in the
southern states has been gradual but pro-
gressive. says the annual report OF the

comparatively employed now number 1i2

year. Communities were encouraged to
organize creameries when conditions were
at all favorable.
Cheese factories also have sown
gain in tn south, until at present there
are "a in the mountain sections. Twenty
six were organized in the last year. Ev-
cry factory established has been success

Cheese factories furnish outlets for milk

Pure Air for Pure Milk

Every COW stable should have a
system of ventilation to keep the air
