Kegs Should Be Clean.

Since war industries are using great
quantities of acetic acid. the acid pres
ent In vinegar. In the manufacture Of
airplane wings. and In many other
ways In munitions of war. the demand
on the commercial vinegar plants rem
ders the making OF vinegar In the home
more important than ever before.
The directions given below are for
making vinegar on n small scale for
household use. While the principle is
the same In manufacturing on a COM
mercial scale. different methods are
employed In handling large quantities.
The fruit used for making vinegar
should be sound and fully ripe. Par
TALLY decayed fruit Is no better for
vinegar making than for eating and
should not be used. Fruits, when ripe.
contain more sugar than when green
or underripe and consequently produce
a stronger vinegar.
Cider Mill or Food Chopper.
For these reasons select sound. ripe
fruit. Wesh thoroughly and remove
all decayed portions. Crush either In
a machine made for this purpose. such
as a cider mill. or. for small quanti-
ties. run through food chopper.
Squeeze out the Juice In press and

because black birds do not dress for
the market as clean and nice looking

they are not as salable.
When a flock of fowls Is kept for

is much less important than approxi-
mate uniformity IN size and type, yet
the more attractive appearance Of a
flock Of birds of the same color justi-
fies selection for color as far as It can
be followed without sacrificing any

BREEDING OF FANCY FOWLS
Practice Results In More or Less Gen
srai improvement of Poultry
Some Suggestions.

From the United States Department Of
Agricuiture.I
There should not be any discourage
ment OF the breeding Of what Is or
dinarily known as fancy poultry. That
term Is usually applied to the stand
ard breeds rs kept by specialists who
produce exhibition birds. That prac-
tice has always resulted In more or
less general Improvement Of poultry
and should continue to perform just
that function at this time when the
wider keeping Of better grade Of
poultry stock cannot fail to result In
an increased production. The work
of the poultry specialist also gives en-
couragement TO the general farmer
and the backyard poultry keeper
to take better care of the flocks. The
continuance of poultry exhibitions,
maintained almost wholly by the poul-
try specialist, is certainly justified
during the present emergency. II has
always been the breeders Of exhibition
fowls who have been the leaders In
promoting the welfare of the poultry
industry, and these men have been
especially willing to give their time
and efforts in working for increased
production. The poultry shows them
selves afford an opportunity for inter-
esting individuals In poultry keeping
and have served as effective centers
from which to launch and extend the
campaign for increasing poultry pro
duction.
To the specialist In poultry produe-
tion it Is not necessary to say In this
connection anything with regard to
breeds that should be used, but to the
general farmer some suggestions along
that line might be Of assistance in
making the adjustment to changed
conditions.
Standard poultry. as the phrase 10
commonly used in America, Is poultry
bred TO the standards established by
the American Poultry association. The
object of making standards for poultry
Is the same as the object OF making
standards Of weight. volume or quail
ity for any product or commodity :
I. e.. to secure uniformity and estab-
lish a series Of grades us q basis Of
trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply In the process Of produc.
tion, the principal points considered
are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values Of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties differ.

NITRATE WIZARD

At MusseIshell shoals, on the Ten

United States government Is erecting
an immense nitrate and cyanide plant.
That nitrogen may here be drawn

Is due largely to the work Of Charles
