An Ayrshire Which Won Worid's
Record for Milk Production.

RECORD for MILK Proouction.
have long horns which turn outward,
then forward, then upward. Quick,
brisk actions are characteristic Of the
animals which seem always to have an
abundant store of energy. and to be
exceptionally alert. Ayrshires have
highly nervous disposition. which is
useful both for production and self
support. Probably none Of the other
dairy breeds can compare with the
Ayrshires in ability to obtain a liveli-
hood on scant pastures. Their ability
as ''rustlerS" has made them very use
full in sections where there is much
rough land in pasture. Cows of this
breed average 1000 pounds in weight.
and bulls average about 1000.
Another point Of which breeders
of the Ayrshire are very proud is the
uniform, square, level udder with long
body attachment which is common
among the cows.
Milk from Ayrshire cows contains
comparatively little color and has the
rat in uniformly small globules which
average smaller in size than for any
other breed. The milk stands shipping
well without churning, and in other
respects it is well adapted to the mar
ket milk trade.
For Ayrshjres the average of the
2,598 cows that have completed year
ly records for advanced registry is
1855 pounds of milk testing 3.95 per
cent of butterfat, amounting to 37751
pounds of fat. The ten highest milk
producers of this breed range from
25,329 to 1918 pounds of milk and
Vie average of these ten highest pro-
ducers is q, 1888 pounds OF milk. The
ten highest butterfat producers among
Ayrshires range from 955.56 to 74413
pounds, with an average, for these
ten, of 1854 pounds of butterfat.

Salads for All Winter.

For those who live away from the
large markets, where green salad ma
terial is procurable the year around.
the problem in the cold months Of
material for q salad is often a serious
one for the cook.
A salad without lettuce, to many, is
like mince pie without the mince, but
necessary as lettuce seems. attractive
salads may be served without 1t. Cab
bage, II treated as follows, may almost
take its place. Cut part Of the stem

which will be drawn up through the

Some Ways Of Saving Fuel.

More heat will be obtained from less
coal If all heat-absorbing surfaces are
kept free from SCOT and dust. Hot-air
pipes carry more heat If clean.
Circulating air is more easily heated
than still air filled with impurities.
To get the maximum Of heat from
coal, the air in the house should be
changed once an hour.
Moist air heated to 65 degrees Fahr-
enheit is as comfortable as dry air
heated to 70 or IS degrees, according to
specialists Of the department Of ag-
riculture. The moisture can be sup
piled by evaporation Of water at the
point at which the heat enters the
room, In the case Of the furnace. A
pan Of water on the radiator or stove
will answer the same purpose.
If continual fire in the range is
not absolutely necessary combina-
tion of wood and coal Is economical.
Use wood for the preparation of break
fast and supper, and coal for the mid.
day dinner and principal baking.
The fireplace is luxury in winter
but an economy in spring and fall.
Coal should not be burned in the fire
place. 1t can be kept supplied in the
rural home by prunings from trees and
shrubs, bits of waste wood and broken
boxes. The fireplace insures ventila-
tion and affords means Of burning
rubbish.

cessfully added to cooked vegetables
for salad. Apples raw and sliced
thin will furnish crispness when fresh
plants are not available.
Dried apricots, peaches or plums,
when fully soaked, are delicious in
salad. These are served uncooked.
II stuffed with cottage cheese they
make dish fit to be served on any
occasion.
Canned pineapple combined with
cottage cheese, dates stoned and filled
with the cheese, slice of apple with
small ball Of cheese on the center,
bananas and chopped nuts are salad
combinations which are popular and
the material for them Is available all
the year in most localities.

RABBIT MEAT IS
MOST DELICIOUS
Boys and Girls Clubs Being
Formed in Various Parts Of
United States.
IS CHEAPER Than CHICKEN
Great Many Hotels Now Regularly
Serve Hare Prepared'ln Some Par
tieuIar Way-PeIts Are Used
to Make Felt Hats.

Fifteen hundred boy and girl club
members are raising rabbits in Taco
ma, WASH, and more are constantly
Joining in this enterprise to produce
cheap and delicious meat. All over
the country the boys and girls clubs,
formed under the supervision Of the
department of agriculture in connec-
ton with the state agricultural col
leges, for the purpose of growing rab-
bits, are on the increase in size, num-
ber and popularity.
When the fact began to be realized
that the number Of domesticated ami
mails ordinarily used for food was not
equal to the demand, various other
sources which might be used to help
supplement the regular supply were in
vestigated. One Of the most promis-
ing discovered lay in increasing the
number Of rabbits and encouraging
their use for food. This was in line
with the findings in other countries on
the same question. 1t is stated that
30 per cent Of the meat used in Ger
many last year was rabbit.
DelieateIy Favored Meat.
Those who know good food long ago
realized that not even chicken could
excel young hare in dellcacy of fiber
and flavor, and to increase their use
should not prove a difficult matter.
Nearly all the best hotels now regu-
larly serve rabbit prepared in some
special way their chef has devised.
The rabbit associations in California
and Nebraska are making special Of
fers to boy and girl club members
which will enable a youngster to start
warren at moderate cost with
good stock.
In Utah the rabbit industry among
the boy and girl club members is in
creasing in Importance, with many
youngsters going into 1t this season
and finding it profitable.
Demonstrations are given in the
boys and girls clubs as to the best
way to kill, dress and market rabbits.
The young people are also taught how
to can the meat and tan the skins for
home use. The popular use of rabbit
skins by furriers Of this country Is evil
denced by the import lists of last year,
which show 9OO0O,OO0 skins were
shipped here f:om foreign countries in
the u months preceding. These pelts
are also used oy hatters to make bet
| ter grades of felt hats.
Rabbits don't crow or lay eggs, but
they are right there with the cheapest
meat that can be produced.

TWO more hours passed before the
i lawyers and their client rose
from their seats about the long
table. Even then the consultation was
not at an end. Sylvester and the cap

they parted the attorney was grave
and troubled.
