which cannot be misunderstood.
They show that throughout the oc-
cupied district the feeling of the
officials against the Jews is strong
enough to override the declarations
of the central authorities, well-mean-

show further that, since Poland has
again become a state through the
German occupation and Genmary's
Eastern policy, this state has become
more and more fanatically anti ew-
ish. 1t is time for German Jews to
demand to know what is the mean

Jews OF GERMANY LOSING
PATIENCE.

By it's attitude towards the Jews
of Eastern Europe, the German Gov
eminent is subjecting to severe
strain the patience of its loyal Jew
ish subjects in Germany, Not only
has it closed the German frontier
against the immigration of Jewish
workmen from Poland and Lithuan-
ia, but it's officials, according to in
formation received by the "Judische
Rundschau'' are preventing Jewish
refugees who fled from Poland to
Russia during the war from return
ing to their homes in Poland. The
contrast between Germany's profess
sions and her actions in her treat
ment of the Jews Of Eastern Europe
is tellingly brought out in the follow

ANTI-SEMITIC DEVICES IN

charges brought against them, and
which contains the following SEN

It was found that specialized dairy
farms paid better normally than dairy
and grain farms, but on the average
did not pay as well as the combination
of dairying and hog raising. Dairying
with hogs and grain usually yielded
better labor income than any other
combination. The outstanding advan-

The dressier separate skirts are
made of supple weaves in silk; their
wearers sharing fayors among satins,
silk poplin and tricolet. Satin. it al
most goes without saying, is first in i'm

Besides these silks for dressy sepa-

Gated, and the use of the house. On
light, sandy, well-drained soils q dirt
floor is satisfactory, especially for

them each year by removing the con-

gravel and earth. A board floor is
generally used where the level Of the

them plain, some of them piquant but
none of them fussy. With the supply
of fabrics growing precious no COS
tuner ventures to use more than the
regulation allotment of cloth. therefore
skirts are narrow and straight and
coats cut TO conform to this shortage
of material. But the ingenuity Of
designers, put TO the test, has ui-
umphed and given US a variety of new
models in coat suits and frOcks that
do them great credit
Skirts are a little longer than they
have been, since they must be two
inches below the shoe tops and shoe
tops are not as high as they were.
Longer skirts were proclaimed early
in the season, but women with a busy
winter ahead OF them have not been
inclined to give up short skirts for
street wear. Those in the suits pic
tured are only two inches below the
shoe tops; that is, they are as short as
the unwritten law allows.

lower layer of boards is usually laid d.

of one thickness give good satisfac-
ton in most sections of this country
and in growing houses. Three-Quar-
ter-inch mesh wire may be used under
wooden or dirt floors to keep out rats.
In making concrete or cement floors
and walls select Portland cement Of
known reputation, which should be
kept in a dry place: use clear, coarse,
sharp sand or gravel which does not
contain over five per cent of clay or
silt and crushed stone or gravel one
fourth TO two inches in diameter. The
gravel should be screened through
one-fourth-inch mesh wire screen and
the coarse particles used as stone,
while the material which passes
through the screen is sifted through
4O-mesh wire screen in order to sepa-
rate the sand, and any material which
goes through a 40-mesh wire is thrown
away. A mixing board with smooth
surface and a box for measuring the
sand and gravel are necessary. Spread
the sand on the board and add the ce-
ment; mix these thoroughly together !;
add three-fourths of the required
amount of water and then the gravel
or stone; mix thoroughly and add wa
ter tC the dry spots, making the mix
ture just wet enough to be jellylike.
Thorough mixing is very essential, as
the mortar should completely coat all
particles of the mixture. Only enough
water should be added so that when
the concrete is tamped on laying the
water will nicely flush the surface.

REDUCE COST OF
MEAT FOR TABLE
Beef Clubs and Cooperative
Butcher Shops Gaining Fa-
vor With u. S. Farmer.
FIFTH QUARTER TO BUTCHER
Operations Start in Spring When
First Member on List Furnishes
Beef for kiIIing-SurpIus
Meat Sold to Trade.

Beef clubs or rings and cooperative
butcher shops are two of the plans
BEING used by American farmers to re-
duce the cost of meat for their tables.
The cooperative butcher shop is re-
garded as an Outgrowth of the beef
clubs, which in varying forms have
been in operation for many years.
Typical examples Of the beef clubs
have been reported to the United
States department of agriculture from
the coastal plain of South Carolina.
Many Of the clubs have membership
of eight farmers. but most of them
have Is. Operations of the club start
In the spring, when the first member
on the list furnishes a beef for killing.
The slaughtering is done by q man
hired for the purpose and who usually
receives the fifth quarter" such as
the hide, heart and liver, as his pay.
The beef is divided into as many
parts as there are members of the
club.
The next week a second member fur
nishes the beef, and so on for eight or
sixteen weeks, the various portions of
meat being rotated among the mem
bers, so that each gets a proportion
ate share of the choice cuts and Of the
poorer cuts.
The beef is weighed after the ami
NAL is dressed and thus the pounds
furnished by each member are known.
At the end of the season settlement
is made by any members who have
not furnished their full shares.
How Plan Developed.
In an Iowa farming community OBJ
lection was found to these beef rings
because each household had to con-
sumo q stated amount of beef on stated
days during the week in order that the
available supply would be disposed of
economically. This tended to make
the beef diet monotonOus and ulti-
mately led to the amalgamatiOn of the
beef rings into a cooperative butcher
shop.
Each member owns one share of
stock in the project and in his turn
furnishes one head of cattle or as
many sheep or hogs as are desired for
slaughter. The members are credited
with the dressed weight of the live
stock provided minus q shrinkage OF
Is per cent. They receive coupon
hooks equivalent in value to the
amount of meat furnished, a1lotments
being apportfoned equal in steaks
roasts and boiling pieces.
Each member is privileged to pur
chase as much or as little meat as be
wishes and at any time he can "casl
In" on his coupon book at the pre-
vailing prices. Surplus meat is solo
to the local trade at from five to sever
cents lower per pound than the retail
butchers charge for similar cuts Il
grades OF meat, it is reported.

POULTRY FOOD FROM WASTE

Keep this thought in mind in con-

of converting into good food materials

The cropping system and the proper

that the following rotation is well

Preparing Animals.

It is important that an animal in
tended for slaughter should be kept
off feed for "a to SO hours. If kept
on full feed the system is gOrged and
the blood vessels loaded. In such
condition it is impossible to drain out
the veins thoroughly when the animal
is bled, and a reddish cOlored, unat-
tractive carcass will be the result.
Food in the stomach decompoSes very
rapidly after slaughter, and where the
dressing is slow the gases generated
often flavor the meat. Water should
be given freely up to the time OF
slaughter, as it keeps the tempera-
ture normal and helps to wash out the
system, resulting in q nicely colored
carcass.
The care Of animals previous to
slaughter has considerable effect on
the keeping qualities of the meat. It
is highly important that they be not
excited in any way sufficiently to
raise the temperature Of the body. Ex-
element prevents proper drainage
of blood vessels, and If extreme will
cause souring of the meat very soon
after dressing. In no instance should
an animal be killed Immediately after
long drive or after a rapid run
about the pasture. If heated by such
cause it is far better to allow it to
rest overnight before killing than to
risk the meat spelling. The flesh Of
an animal that has been overheated is
usually Of pale color and very often
develops a sour or putrid odor with
in three or four days after being
dressed.
It is also essential that the animal
be carefully handled so as not to bruise
the body. Bruises cause blood to set
tie in the injured part OF the body, and
often cause loss.
A 36-hour fast, plenty of water, care
full handling, and rest before slaughter
are all important in securing meat in
the best condition for use, either fresh
or for curing purposes.
