She guards her individuality with an amazing jealousy ,and always insists on everything she obtains having some different touch to it. As she likes to look as near to the latest fashion this is something of a task. Her clothes must be fashionable and yet they mustn't be the same things that "everybody'' is wearing.

Canning should be going full blast by now and by this time half of our winter store should be on our shelves. In estimating the quantity of garden produce used by your family, have you allowed a can off ruits and a can months that fresh produce is not available-the size of that can de- pending upon the size of your fam fly? In making this estimate we should realize that allowance must be made for our dried, salted and stored products. An adequate amount of canned goods will mean that your family will be well nourished this winter, when available food Is going to be none too plentiful. When we realize that the government has taken over 60 per cent. of the canned goods to feed those soldiers of our who will probably be two million strong on the other side, 1t leaves but a small per- centage of canned material on the shelves for those busy folk who have no time to can, but are engaged in making materials with which this war can be carried to a victorious end. Let us help them, let us help our men, and let us keep Bridgeport on the map by attaining our canning quota of 100000 quarts.
 Yesterday Miss Weed, the Home Demonstration Agent for the City Home Economies Committee, went to Stamford to attend the Farm Bureau meeting. Plans were discussed for the intensive efforts for the fall and winter. Today was spent in maturing plans for a more thorough organiza- ton of the city's woman power, especial attention being devoted to the building up of strong volunteer home service group.
 Tomorrow, through the courtesy of the D. M. Read Company, the City Home Economics Comittee is going to establish headquarters for the day in a prominent place in the store, where the volunteer members arc goiag to distribute the Canning Quota Pledge Cards an at the same time onor a most cordial invitation to all of the women of the City to call upon their worker, Miss Weed and to call in per son or by phone at the Food center at Sanford House for any bulletins, or suggestions that will prove helpful along the food lines. Miss Weed is to be present with display of canned goods-which later in the season are for sale, the purchase of which will go towards defraying a few of the running expenses of Sanford House which has been donated to the use of the women of the city for the period of the war as a food center. Miss Weed will be most happy to answer all questions on the food problems of the season, and to explain the method of canning which Is now most gener- ally in use.
 On Thursday Miss Weed will be at her office in the Sanford House from | g to 12 to answer any queries in per son or over the phone Noble 9S6r to answer the food problem. Phone her or write her whenever you desire government bulletins, and they will be mailed to you. So many feel that
 there is a. charge for either the print ed material or a charge even for Miss Weeds time-which is absolutely not
 so-she is government worker
 which means that she is entirely al your service, so do call upon her.

SWINE NANCE NOT UNCOMMON
Parasite Is Microscopic in Size and

mango in hogs is not at all uncom-

small pustules. The skin becomes
thickened and rough. Where a hog Is
much affected the carcass should be
condemned for food.
This kind Of mango is readily trans
mitted to other hogs and treatment Is
difficult. Since there are some who
believe hog cholera may be transmit
ted by these and other external para
sites, such as lice, it is well to keep
a lookout for hog mango.

that govern profit. It seems to be well
established that the problem for the
farmer is to produce and carry the
calves to weaving time as cheaply as
possible, as the calves produced cheap
~ make just as good feeders and bring
just as good price per pound as the
more expensive ones. The weight at
the time of sale seems to have very
little effect on the profit, except that
they are usually heavier in the sum-
mer which is the time when heavier
calves are put upon the market. An
expense entailed in feeding the calves
up for weight in anticipation of sale
is a loss, as being sold for feeders,
their flesh and fat weight does not
count unless obtained without cost.

this method causes the COW to give
bloody milk, place the rope or strap
behind the udder and draw it up in
the same manner. With some COWS
this cannot be done because of the
shape of the udder.
Another method is to hobble the COW
by passing the rope around each leg
behind the udder, and tying just above
the hooks. This is rather dangerous
for the man tying the rope. After the
preventive measure has been repeated
several times the cow will stand read
