ADVOCATES CLEAN PLATE

Mrs. Nellie Kedzie Jones, a farm
woman, who is writing special arti-
cles for the Country Gentleman and
who addressed the Farmers'Week Wis
itors at Columbia, Jan. ID, advocates
the clean plate as a means of con-
serving food. Mrs. Jones told the
visitors how she had abolished the
habit on the part of one of her farm
hands of leaving sugar in his coffee
cup and quantities of food on his
plate when he had finished a meal.
When conservation became necessary
Mrs. Jones determined that waste in
her household must stop. She told
this particular man that thereafter
when sugar was found in his cup she
would set the cup aside and let him
use it the next meal. She made the
same statement concerning his plate
1t was necessary for her to carry out
her plan only few times. Now no
food is wasted on this mans plate or
in his coffee cup.
This method would prove effective
in any household, for it is not only
farm hands but members of families
both in town and country who waste
food in this way. The clean plate will
eliminate practically all of the waste
from the table and will aid the house
wife in her efforts toward conserva-
ton. Certainly she should have the
cooperation of the person for whom
she cooks in her conservation work
The burden for conservation rests as
heavily upon those who are fed as ii
does upon the cook.

WARTIME MEASURES
IN FARMING

If farmers of other States arc as
determined as Missouri farmers, the
coming year will witness the greatest
farm production that this country has
ever had. Every visitor who attend
ed te Farmers Week at Columbia,
January IA TO 18, expressed his in
tention to do something as a war
measure which he has never done be
fore. This means more efficient meth
DDS of production. One farmer ex-
pressed the general sentiment Of the
entire crowd when he remarked that
he had never practiced fertilizing but
that he would do so during The com
ing year.

WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD

1t is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Croker, Pana, ILL.,, writes
"Our five-year-old son, Paul, caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on his lungs and he had terrible cough
ing spells. We were greatly worried
about him as the medicine we gave
him did not help him in the least. A
neighbor spoke so highly of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy that | got a
bottle of it. The first dose benefited
him so much that l continued giving
it to him until he was cured" OBJ
tainable everywhere. (adv.)

SEED CORN TESTING
A DEFENSE MEASURE

The farm labor problem will be
greatly simplified by seed corn test
ing. When every hour of labor should
be conserved no step which will avoid
Unnecessary labor should be over
looked. Thousands of acres of corn
are planted every year with seed of
low termination. The only way in
which this unnecessary labor can be
avoided is to test every ear of corn
that is planted. Some men have
boosted that they can select seed corn
that will grow. No man can deter
mine whether or not seed corn will
grow until he has tested it.
DR.. P. G. Holden of Chicago who
lectured to visitors during Farmers
Week, showed how a farmers judg-
ment could easily mislead him in seed
corn selection. He had previously OBJ
tanned samples of seed from various
parts of the state. He had tested
this corn. In many cases more than
fifty per cent of the seed had been
found dead or weak. In outward APP
pearance the corn seemed good.
Authorities who discussed the seed
corn situation during Farmers Week
suggested that even though farmers
were willing to trust their own judg-
ment in selecting seed corn they
should, as a patriotic measure, test
their seed to be sure that no poor seed
is planted. Directions for testing
seed may be obtained from the Coun-
ty Agents or from the University OF
Missouri College of Agriculture, Col
umbia.

SEND MESSAGE TO
BRITISH PEOPLE

Missouri farmers and livestockmen
who attended Farmers Week at Col
umbia, January Ia to IS, sent the fol-
lowing message to the people of Great
Britain through the attorney general
Of England, Sir Frederick E! Smith,
who addressed the farmers Wednes-
day night.
eve are sending our sons to fight
in the trenches with your sons. Our
own part in this struggle is largely
conservation and production. We
doubled farm crop production last
year, and we will do more next year.
Accept our Fluctuations and remem-
Der that we are with you in this war
for freedom and justice until it is
Won"
The message was passed by joint
meeting of all farmers, livestockmen
and various associations. G. E. Yam
cey, president of the Missouri Live
stock Producers Association. signed
the message as chairman of the meet
ing. The auditorium at the Agricul-
tural building was packed with Mis-
souri, farmers when the subject was
proposed. Every person in the room
voted in favor of sending the message.
1t was presented to the distinguished
Englishman as he mounted the plat
form in the University auditorium q
few hours later. In referring to the
message he assured the farmers that
it would be transmitted to the people
of his country. He said that he APP
preciated fully the spirit and determi,
nation expressed in the message.

EVERY FARMER
HIS OWN BUTCHER

The farmer can produce better
meat on his own farm than he can
buy from the packing house,. This
is the idea EXPRESSED in E%tcns!on
Circular AZ, Hog ButchcriDg and
Pork Curing" Of the University Of
Missouri College Of Agriculture. And
in ounna,t of this idea p. +. Grow-
bridge. the author, submits some Of
the best recipes for home ,urjnc OF
meats which he has accumulated n
his long experience with farm BUTCH
ering Of hogs.
Many farmers have abandoned
butchering and home curing If meats.
The hogs are shipped to the hacking
centers and the fresh and cured meats
are shipped back TO supply local needs.
1t is not uncommon for farmer 10
haul load Of hogs TO town and bring
back with him a packing house side
of bacon, ham. and ffty-pound
can of lard. This custom works to
the advantage of the railroads and the
packing houses, rather than to the
farmer. Furthermore, under present
war conditions these institutions are
taxed to capacity in hauling neces-
sary freight and filing war orders
Therefore, for the time being, at
least, farmers can perform a national
service by doing their butchering and
curing at home. The armies, which
are fighting in the cause of democ-
racy, the city dwelers and the fac
tory laborers need all meats available
from the packing houses. The added
burden of curing the meats for the
rural districts is unnecessary.
The circular outlines the different
steps in slaughtering the hog and
preparing the carcasses for curing
1t gives the different methods of cur
ing Of meat. 1t also tells how to cut
IN the carcass and how to trim the
different cuts to produce the best
meat. The circular is illustrated with
pictures of the different cuts of meat
A copy Of this circular can be had by
addressing the College of Agricul-
ture, Columbia, Mo.

ABOUT CONSTIPATION

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand,
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat bread promote a movement of
the bowels. When the bowels are
badly constipated, however, the sure
way is to take one or two Of Cham
berlain's tablets Immediately after
supper. Obtainable everywhere. (adv)

ATTACK
president IN SENATE
Senator Knox ()f'Pennsylvania
Leads off With Speech
Today.

Washington, Oct. 2S.--Asking wheth-
er ssit is the will of the American peo
pie OF the will of Woodrow Wilson
that is to determine the policy OF the
United States in two matters Of end
ing this war, and founding future
peace" Senator Knox, Pennsylvania,
today began the republican attack in
the senate on the president.
"When there is talk Of the abdiea-
tion of the kaiser, it is a peculiar mo-
ment to propose that the American
people should abdicate their right to
have opinions, or that the senate and
the house hould abdicate their sworn
and independent duties,o said Knox.
ct ask whether the American people
propose to subject their vital inter-
ests to their own independent judg-
ment, or whether they are content, be-
fore their conscience and their coun-
try. to be mere registrars Of the will
of one man. This is the issue before
us.
"The abdication of their duty Of in
dependent Judgment by the senate or
the house spells autocracy."
