Destroy Home Pests.

Clean up the cabbage patch! Don't
raise crop OF insect pests on the
stalks. That Is what Is likely to hap
pen If stalks Of cabbage or cauli-
flower, collards, brussels sprouts, and
such vegetables are left In the garden
after they have fulfilled their food
mission. Entomologists Of the United
States department of agriculture
advise that where such remnants of
the garden can be promptly fed to
hogs or cattle Il double purpose will
be served-insect pests will be kept
down and q food provided for meat
making animals.
The plants just named are affected
by the same class of insects of which
there are several distinct kinds-cab-
bage worms, the cabbage looper, harle-
quin cabbage bug cabbage sphis, and
other plant lice and cutworms-any
one Of which, If it occurs in sufficiently
large numbers, is capable of destroy
ing an entire crop. After the cabbage
has been cut the stalks are likely to
bear numerous shoots which harbor
the insects in autumn and even dur
ing early winter. Cabbage heads
which have not properly matured
either because Of insect ravages or
for other reasons also may provide
place of refuge for bugs. All such
crop remnants which cannot be used
for feed, and weeds or other rubbish,
should be destroyed now by burning
If the gardener is familiar with the
use of arsenicals some stalks may be
left growing to serve as traps for In
sects, the specialists say. The pests
which gather on such traps can be
readily destroyed by busting the
plants with dry paris green or arsen-

of finely sifted lime or road dust.

Low WEIGHT KEEPS
GOOD JOCKEYS OUT
Shaw, Dugan, Powers, and 9th
ers Cannot Make Scale.
Old Timers Outclassed Riders Of Pres.
ent Day Because Jockey Club Per.
slsts in Racing a Very Low
Scale Of Weights.

Old timers on the turf are prone to
scott at the ability of the present dag
crop of jockeys now riding in this coun-
try. They wall loud and long and
sigh the deepest of signs for the days
of Simms, Garrison, Spencer, Sloan
and the rest, who rode in the van
ished years termed 1.-THE good old
days"
As a rule, there Is little sympathy
with those who continually harp on the
superiority of athletes of the past
over the present. Usually there is no
real basis for their contention that
participants in sport have grown less
skillful with the lapse of years. How
ever, when it comes to the Jockey
question the old-timer is right. The
present rider does not compare with
those of ten years ago. They never will
regain their prestige, either, as long as
the Jockey club persists In racng at
the ridiculously low scale of weights
now in vogue.
Dugan Is Back.
Willie Dugan, just back from Russia,
Is a great Jockey. He has been rid
ing with marked success in Russia for
| several years. He was recognized as a
top-notcher here before going abroad.
The war has driven Willie back to this
country, as it did his brother Eddie.
But Willie will not be able to ride
here. He Is no longer youngster.
He cannot do 40 pounds and under.
and could not get enough mounts over
Shat ,i,,It
to hold his form.
| Dugan is not the only sufferer from
the ridiculous weight scale. Take the
case of Willie Shaw.
| Shaw is great jockey-greater
than Dugan ever was. In all the his
tory Of the turf there are not half
dozen riders who can be rated be-
yond him. Shaw is here, ready to ride.
but finds he is too heavy. He has
been riding for years in Germany. He,
too, is out Of employment because Of
| the war.
Powers Good Boy.
Then there Is Lincoln Powers. Just
few years ago he was the ranking
| Jockey of the country on the fiat. Now
| he has to ride over the jumps, be-
cause he can't do better than 11d
pounds. Powers tried to train down
this spring and ride on the fiat again.
| He found the effort too much for him.
Here are three instances, not Of
ordinary Jockeys. but great riders
whose services would be available un
der a sane scale. To the list might be
added Joe hotter, who, although he
can make 115 pounds, Is able to ride
only In the big stakes. and Eddie Du.
gan, who at 112 pounds Is on the
ground most Of the time.

useful for cooking vegetables either
alone or with the addition of little

The unpopularity Of fried food In
many families is due largely to the
fact that the fat has been burned in
cooking. Fat when heated to too high
temperature splits up and may form
substances which have an Irritating
effect on the throat and may cause
digestive disturbances. Fat in itself
is very valuable food. and If 1t is not
scorched should prove healthful
rather than an Objectionable article
Of diet.

GREAT VALUE OF
SUET IN COOKING
Most Housewives Know That It
Is Excellent Shortening.
IT HAS SOME MEAT TISSUE
Possesses Same Food Value ~ Lard,
and II Properly Tried Out, It 10
Satisfactory Substitute for
Frying Purposes.

Special pains should always be
taken to save and use suet because of
it's great value in cookery. Most
housewives know that rendered suet
is a very good shortening and very
commonly they also have special
dishes in which the chopped suet Is
used instead Of rendered fat. In
addition to the fat 1t contains, chopped
suet has some meat tissue. Rendered
suet possesses the same food value as
lard or other similar shortening, and
II properly tried out 1t is satisfactory
substitute for frying purposes, for
shortening, and for making savory
fats. Anyone who regards suet as
useful only In making soap is wrong
for 1t Is a valuable food. Its use for
soap making should be considered only
when the fat has become too rancid
for use or when 1t has been burned
when used for frying.
Trying Out sust.
Those who do not know how to rem
der and use suet sometimes object to
1t on the ground of its hardness and
special flavor. Fresh suet, however.
can be so rendered as to make soft
useful fat practically free from any
distinctive flavor or odor. The follow
ing is a simple method for trying out
suet:
Remove tina skin and lean parts
from beef fat and cut 1t into small
pieces. Put It into a saucepan and
cover 1t with cold water. Place 1t on
the stove uncovered, as 1t is believed
that steam carries away strong flavors.
When the water is nearly all evapo-
rated set the kettle back and let the
fat try out. When the fat has ceased
bubbling and the scraps of skin are
shriveled, allow the scraps to settle
at the bottom of the kettle. strain the
fat through a cloth, and set 1t away
to cool.
This fat is SO valuable In cooking
that housewives will do well to save
all suet which Ia trimmed from beef
and try it out.
suet and Leaf Lard.
For those who want a mixture of
suet and leaf lard, which is a softer
fat then rendered suet and has a diff
ferent flavor, the following recipe will
be useful:
Take two parts of suet and one Of
leaf lard. finely ground, and mix to
gether. Render this with whole milk
in the proportion of one-half pint to
two pounds of the mixed suet and lard.
(Render means to melt down or to
clarity by melting.) This may be con-
veniently done II the suet and lard
mixture be finely divided by passing 1t
through meat grinder and then
heated In a double boiler, when the
fat will be quickly released from the
tissues, and when strained and al
lowed to cool will form a cake on the
surface Of the liquid which may be
easily removed.
. This fat has good odor, color and
texture, and is softer than the suet
alone. 1t is particularly useful for
irving and for shortening fnnds which

against the wall, as they take too much
floor space If set on the floor. One
nest should be provided for each four
or five hens. Straw or other material
used in the nests should be kept clean
and not allowed to become soslow that
the eggs will strike the wooden bottom
of the nest. This may cause the eggs
to break and will start the hens to
eating them-a very troublesome habit
and one that is very difficult to break
up once it is formed.
A litter of straw or leaves about
three or four inches deep on the floor
of the house helps to absorb the drop
pings, and by feeding the grain in this
litter the hens are obliged to exercise
by scratching for it.
Wire fencing Is preferable to boards
as it Is cheaper and the hens are less
likely to fly over. II cats prove trou-
blesOme, where one is raising young
chickens, it may be necessary to cover
the top Of the yard with wire also.
This Is practicable for small enclos-
ures. A board should not be used at
the top of the wire fence as this gives
the hens a visible place to alight and
tends to teach them to fly over. A s.
foot fence is high enough for most con-
ditions, but II the hens show a ten
dency to fly over such a fence the
flight feathers Of one wing should be
clipped. The larger the yard which
can be provided, the better the hens
will do, as 1t not only gives them bet

in the yard. In most cases not enough
yard will be available SO that a sod

quently, If not in sod, to keep it in
the best condition. This will not only
tend to keep down any odors which
might arise but also allow the drop
pings to be absorbed into the soil more
readily and therefore keep the yard
In better condition for the hens.
Although it is necessary to keep the
hens confined to their yard most of
the time, it is sometimes possible to
let them out where they may range
on the lawn for an hour or so during
the evening when someone can be Mt
hand to watch them, or ut certain sea-
sons of the year to allow them to run
In the garden plot. The next article
on backyard poultry keeping will dis

gestions as to the use of Kitchen waste

scalp: of dandruf-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to

not remedied causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die-then the hair
falls out fast. A little Danderine to-
