Treat Grain Before Planting

Treatment of seed wheat, oats, o.
other cereal has been found to be a
profitable practice, not alone be-
cause of its value as a smut preven-
tive, but because it improves germi-
nation and aids the development of
the seeding. The chemical baths,
formaldehyde in particular, which
are used in the treatment prevent
in a very large measure the develop
ment of harmful fungi that are pres
ent on the seed or in contact soil.

Sense About COrns.

Can you please tell me a good rem
edy for corns and bunions on the
feet? They have just begun to form
and | have heard that If you let the
bunion form a gristle it cannot be re-
moved. | know of several things
that are supposed to take them off,
but they don't always do it. l want
a sure cure. r. S. II.
Yes, / can tell you something, but
doubt if you will follow my sug-
gestions. Get your shoes to fit you.
II the shoe is too narrow it will
cause the toes to rub and so make
corns; if too short, it will press the
big toe back on itself and so cause
the Joint to swell. If too short, it
will press the big toe back on itself
and so cause the joint to swell. If
you are wearing the absurd and awk-
ward high heels (and l suppose you
are) you are putting the whole foot
out of shape, and have no right to
expect anything but that you will
have corns, bunions and all sorts of
foot trouble. The high heel not on
ly affects the foot, but throws the
whole body out of it's proper posi-
ton, and is the cause often of SER
ious trouble that is not connected
with the feet at all, so far as you
can understand.
You speak of taking off bunion.
but that cannot be done, as bunion
is the swelling of the Joint, and so
cannot be taken off unless the toe is
amputated, which. have known to
be necessary, in aggravated cases.

Canning Without Sugar.

Fruits canned without sugar keep
perfectly but will not have the fine
color and flavor which they would
have if packed in strip. They are
very good, however, when used In
salads, desserts, pie filings, ices and
in fruit punches. Fruit juices take
no sugar and their uses are just as
varied during the winter months as
are the fruits put up unsweetened,
In this way, the juices are kept avail
able for jelly-making at a future
time when sugar may be more plen-
'tiful.
Many home demonstration agents
have already substituted sirups sue
cessfully for sugar in their recipes
for canning and preserving. Very

THE PRESIDENT ON MOB SPIRIT.

81 have called upon the Nation to
put its great energy into this war
and it has responded-responded with
a spirit and genius for action that
has thrilled the world. l now call
upon it, upon its men and women
everywhere. to see to it that its
laws are kept inviolate, its fame un-
furnished.
81 can never accept any man as a
champion of liberty either for our
selves or for the world who does
not reverence and obey the laws Of
our own beloved land, whose laws
we ourselves have made. He has
adopted the standards of the enemies
of his country, whom he affects to
despise. President Wilson.

PLANS WORRY HUNS

Amsterdam, Aug. 3.-Panic has
seized the German commercial world
with regard to conditions after the
war The Huns fear that whether
or not they are victorious, their bus
mess will never again be what 1t
was before 1914.
DIR. Lohmann president of the Bre-
men cotton exchange, proposes in the
government newspaper, the North
German Gazette, that Germany
should reply to the allies threatened

lowing demands:
1-Germany shall receive from the
raw materials purchased by the Brit

construction purposes) quantity
sufficient to supply German indus

Fruits For Children.

Fruits should be served in some
form to children at least once a day.
Fruit juices and the pulp of cooked
fruit, baked apples and pears, and
stewed prunes are safest. Whether
the skin should be given depends
partly on the age and health of the
child and partly on the way the fruit
is prepared. If the skins are very
tender, they are not likely to cause
trouble. except with very young chill
dren. When apples and pears are
baked the skins can be made tender
by frequent basting.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew be-
cause only then. with certainty, can
seed be obtained from
Stalks that have a tendency to
yield well as shown by their super
iority over surrounding stalks that
grew under the same cinditions.
(Such seed inherlts high producing
power
Stalks without suckers (Such
seed produces fewer suckers than
seeds from sucker-bearing stalks)
Storm-proof stalks with ears at a
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as
soon as it natures because
Desirable stalks, especially early
maturing stalks with hanging ears
are then most easily found.
Freezing weather Injuries the seed
before II becomes dry.
Warm, wet weather may cause kerr
nels to sprout before drying.
II the selection is delayed in the
South the ears may become infest-
ed with weevils, grain moths and
their eggs.
II is as easy, more satisfactory and
much more profitable than selecting
from cribs in the spring.

IL when one pound of sugar is called

Sugarless Canning.

Keep canning, sugar or no sug-
ar" say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
IL you can't get enough sugar for
home canning put up your fruit
without it. The products will keep
perfectly until a time when more
sugar is available or until sugar
substitute program has been worked
out. Fruits put up in this way are
excellent for pie-flling and salads
and may be used in desserts, pud-
dings, ices, and punches.
In canning fruit without sugar,
can the product the day it is picked.
Gull, stem, seed, and clean fruit by
placing in strainer and pouring cold
water over it. Pack the product
carefully in hot glass jars or tin cans
until full. Use a tablespoon, wood
en- ladle. or table knife for packing
purposes. Pour boiling hot water
over the product in the hot jar. Place
rubbers and caps in position, not
tight. If using tin cans, seal COM
pletely. Place in the sterilizer vat,
or Gamer, and sterilize for the
length of time given below accord

The largest single order for ba-
con and canned meat in the history
of the world-99. 100000 pounds of
bacon and 134,OO0,0OO pounds of
canned meat-has just been placed
by the quartermasters department,
Il. S. A.. for the American Army over
seas, says a Chicago dispatch under
date of July 22.
The order will take the bacon
from approximately 100000 hogs,
and If other work were dropped. to
produce It void be equivalent to the
total bacon production of the five
largest Chicago packers for nearly
five weeks. However, six months
will elapse before delivery is to be
completed. At the current prices
the packers would pay the livestock
producers about 80 million dollars
for the necessary hogs and over so
million dollars for about 100000 cat
tie required.
