PRACTICAL BEE KEEPER o.
LONG EXPERIENCE IS ADDED
TO AGRICULTURAL STAFF.
HONEY PRODUCTION SHORT
Scarcity Of Sugar Makes This lRdus
try Especially Important at
This Time.

Z. c. Davis, specialist in bee cul.
ture, has been added to the Agricul
tural Extension Division of the Louis.
lana State University. Mr.. Davis Is
a native of Louisiana and a practical
bee keeper of long experience. He
has recently spent some time In
Washington, d. c.. investigating the
latest methods Of bee culture.
Louisiana is said to have more
bees in proportion to its size than
any other Southern State, but most
of the hives produce little honey on
account of poor methods in use. 1t
will be the duty Of Mr.. Davis to as
sist bee keepers who are already in
the business to improve their apiaries
and to encourage others who are IA
vorably situated to, take up the work.
The scarcity of sugar makes the pro-
duction of honey of especial import
ance at the present time.
Those who expect to produce honey
next spring should get in touch with
Mr.. Davis now, as the most important
work in bee culture is done during
the fall and winter. Persons desiring
his assistance should write to the Elk
tension Division, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge, La.

MILK Is CHEEP
AT Fifteen Cents
Housewives Should Study Its Food
Value Before Deciding to Give
Up lite Use.

Milk at Is cents quart is as cheap
source OF protein as sirloin steak
at 34.3 cents pound, or eggs at 41.9
cents dozen. Milk at the same price
is as cheap a source of energy as sir.
lOin steak at PIP cents pound or
eggs at 20 cents a dozen. Protein and
energy are two important necessities
for which we eat food. Milk contains
the bodybuilding materials-protein
and mineral substances, such as lime
and phosphorOus-needed to renew the
body wastes and promote growth by
forming new tissues and fluids; and il
also supplies energy for carrying ON
body functions.
The average person, the country
over, uses a little more than half q
pint Of milk daily. 1t 10 said that the
consumption Of milk per capilA in the
city of New Orleans 10 only about one
half of that of other large cities. This
quantity can be increased very profit
ably when safe milk Is available. Many
persons think of milk only As q bsv-
erage. but il they understood that It
10 in reality a nOurishing food they
would increase the allowance. Econ
omy in diet does hot always depend
on limiting the use of certain foods,
but it is sometimes a question Of &C.
tually increasing the use of foods
which furnish nutritive material at rel
atively low cost Milk belongs to the
latter class and the housewife would
do well to study its food value and
decide whether her family Is using -
much as it should.-Extension Divi

SHOULD BE KEPT IN THEIR DIET
AS LONG AS IT Is
POSSIBLE.
BUTTER.FAT is NEEDED
Milk Contains the Food Elements in
Available Form For Ready
Digestion.

For the proper nourishment of the
child it is essential that milk should
be kept in the diet as long as posi-
BILE. according to the Food Admins
tration. Not only does it contain all
the essential food elements in the
most available form for ready diges-
ton, but the recent scientific discov-
cries show ii to be especially rich in
certain properties that alone render
growth possible.
This essential quality makes it al
SO of special value in the sick room.
In hospitals it has also been shown
that the wounded recover more rap
idly when they have milk.
For the purpose of stimulating
growth, and especially in children.
butter fat has no substitute. During
this winter when much agitation arose
in some of the larger cities over the
price of milk, which was advanced
from two or three cents per quart by
reason of the rapid rise in the cost of
feed and labor. many families among
the poorer classes were found giving
their children tea and coffee instead
OF milk. Such methods of feeding FAIL
to nourish the child properly. The
widest possible publicity should be
carried on through public channels to
bring these essential facts to the At
tention Of all mothers.
In spite of the shortage Of milk in
Germany, that country has at all haz-
ards maintained the milk ration Of
the children and in the hospitals,
even though to do so has meant that
the adult population has had to fore
go largely its use. In safety frat"
health campaign il must be remem-
bered that il should be children

alarmed at the reduced supply OF beer and
have poignantly drawn the attention Of the
authorities to the fact that ruin confrontg

hence, after having seen their business
already greatly restricted during tha first
three and one-half years of the war, they
protest energeticaly against measures chat

characteristic fact that the authorities
have recently given permission to the
brewers to use favorng extracts to the
extent Of 8 per cent N brewing as sun
