Deer Do Not Interfere With
Eradication of Cattle Tick

EBy abe United States Department of
Agriculture)
In regions where campaigns to eradi-
cate the cattle fever tick are being car
ried on, the presence of deer does not
interfere in the success of permanently
banishing the parasite. This has been
proved in California, where deer are
numerous in formerly tick-infested re-
gions which are now free from the
parasite.
''Deer We're known to be plentiful on
many of the large California ranches
that were tick-infested," said one of
the federal inspectors now working in
Southern states, "and deer killed on
these ranches were often found infest-
ed.
sit was our experience in California
that as soon as the cattle tick was
eradicated from cattle the deer in that
section were no longer found tick-in-
tested. This seems to justify the the
DRY that. as the deer is not the natural
host Of the fever tick, deer which do
become infested with cattle ticks are

Brown Sugar, Among Other
Old Time Necessities, Now
Found Best For Many Uses

'sWe must get out our old COOK DOCKS
and revive some of the things our
grandmothers used to make" says
Prof. Mary Rausch of the department
of home economics, University OF WASH
ington, in commenting in that univer-
sity's newsletter on the necessity that
faces housekeepers of learning how 10
do without graduated sugar for COOK
ing.
When the cook books that were
printed in our grandmothers' day
speak of sugar they do not mean the
granulated sugar to which we are ac-
customed, but the heavier, dark, moist
sugar that has flavor resembling mo-
lasses or rum. For many purposes
this is really better than the granu-
lated white sugar. One of the largest
bakers in Seattle uses nothing else,
and he says the flavor of all sweetened
breads is much improved by it.
Brown sugar or sirup should be used
in all biscuits, mullins, cakes, puddings
and pies. For years the best ginger
breads and spice cakes have been made
with nothing else. And there are many
candies for which it is better than
white. A delicious cake icing is made
by boiling brown sugar to sirup and
pouring it over the stifiy beaten
whites of eggs.

Endeavoring to Increase
Cultivation of the Rose

Many suggestions for the practical
use of roses are given in the American
Rose Annual. One of the desirable
ways to combine hedge, arches, and APP
proximate pillars can be worked with
climbing roses.
Make the pillars eight or nine feet
high, springing an arch across a walk
on form not over 18 inches or two
feet higher. Plan the hedge to be three
or three and one-half feet high to the
top or third wire (three is enough) /.
Then provide for a graceful festoon
from the top wire of the post to the
top wire, using either a brass chain
if you can afford the war price of it
or durable heavy Irvine, soaked in
oil, that will last about two years.
Study the curve with care, and secure
it, if Irvine, with downward braces to
the top wire, drawn tight, in which case
it will be a series of tangents rather
than a curve.
The American Rose society, publish
ers Of the Annual, is endeavoring to in
crease the general interest Of Amefl.

Belief in AmuIets.

The phylacteries of the Jews-slips
Of parchment with passages of the
Law written on them, bound on the
forehead or the left arm-while orr
ginally worn as emblems of piety,
came to be regarded as kind Of charm
or amulet. Some of the early Chris
tan heretics made and sold charms OF
a similar kind. Among the Russian
peasantry at the present day sentences
from Scripture written out on small
pieces of paper and inclosed in little
bag are hung from the neck and worn
as charms, Immediately over the heart.
In some districts in Germany similar
practice is found. Sentences from the
Koran have always been regarded by
Mahometans as sovereign protection
against evil spirits.

WESTERN CANADA'S
CROPS
CO. an Excellent Start. Big
Yields Now Assured.

Never Fri the history of Western
Canada dl the seed enter the ground
under MOI favorable conditions. The
weather curing the month Of April
was perfect for seeding operations,
and from early morning until late at
night the seeders were at work, and
every acre that could be- profitably
sown, was placed under requisition.
Farmers entered heart and soul into
the campaign of greater production.
There was the time and the opportu-
nifty f5r careful preparation, and as
consequence with favorable weather
from now on there will be vastly in
creased yield. They realized 1t was a
duty they owed to humanity to produce
all that they could On the land, not
only this year but next as well. Iii
addition to the patriotic aspect, they
are aware that the more they produce
the greater will be their own return
IN dollars and cents.
In many districts wheat seeding was
completed by the list of May, after
acreages than Slsual were planted.
AS has been said, favorable weather
conditions made possible excellent
seed-bed preparation, and the seed has
gone into the ground in unusually good
shape. The available moisture in the
soil has been added to by rains, which
have not been SO heavy, however. as to
interfere long with the work in the
fields. The grain is terminating read
lily, and on many fields the young green
blades Of The cereal are already show
ing.
An optimistic feeling prevails among
farmers that Western Canada ,7ill reap
a record harvest. If the season from
now on is as favorable as it has begun,
these hopes should be realized. Mr..
J. D. McGregor Of the Federal Food
Board, who is also an old and success
full farmer in Western Canada, assert
ed few days ago at Calgary that crop
conditions throughout the Prairie
Provinces were excellent. speaking
generally" he said, "the crops have
never gone into the ground in better
shape than this year, and with an
even break Of luck as far as the wealth
err is concerned, there should be an
enormous crop" His present duties in
connection with the Food 2 Control
Board, taxing him in all parts of the
West, Mr.. M regor has exceptional
opportunities observing conditions

The First Submarine.

The first submarine boat Of which
history makes any record was built by
a Dutchman named Van Driebel, in
1910. The boat was built in England
with money said to have been adj
vanced by King James |. The vessel
had unique ballasting system. There
was number of goatskin bags placed
under the deck between two large
planks. These bags, when filled with
water caused the vessel to sink. To
cause it to rise again the bags were
pressed together with a windlass ar
rangement, forcing the water out, and
thus giving the boat reserve buoyancy.

Stokers Act of, Bravery.

In these days of undersea warfare,
when the blow is often struck without
warning, . new danger is added to the
already hazardous tasks of the ships
flremen. Speed is an essential In
beating the U-boat, and this requires
constant work. Recently the bottom
blow valve of a boiler was carried away
on a vessel of the United States navy.
One of the crew was Aloysius Fawcett
a Herman, first class. With two others
he made his way through steam-filled
fireroom and fought passage through
hot cloud in the engine room. Here
he helped haul the fires at a critical
moment. The nerve and quickness OF
the act saved the boiler and the ves-
sci from serious accident. Fawcett en-
listed in the navy in 1911 at Cincln-

PREVENT oodLosses
Perishables Can Be Saved by
Careful Handling

(By the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.)
Important amounts of perishable
foods are made dangerous or inedible
in households because they are ex-
posed unnecessarily to heat moisture
germs, dust, dirt, or to flies and other
insects. :.
Much milk spoils quickly because it
is kept uncovered in warm kitchens.
Close observance of the doctrine,
'Keep perishable food, especially
milk. cool, clean and covered cOntin-
uously," may make a striking differ
ence in the food bills of many fam
lilies.
Fresh vegetables not needed imme-
diately for other purposes should not
be thrown out or allowed to spoil, but
should be used in making soups, sal
ads, or combination dishes. Fruits are
sometimes allowed to go to waste
which might be stewed and kept day
or two until needed.
Vegetables and fruits should not be
stored in quantities in hot, damp, and
poorly ventilated bins. Such condi-
tions uasten whiting, fermentation and
decay
Surplus fruits, beans, tomatoes and
other vegetables produced in home
gardens should not be allowed to spoil
on the vines or rot on the ground. A
mornings work would can and pre-
serve such surplusage for use when
fruits and vegetables are scarce and
high in price.
Much food, ruined by being stored
where flies or other insects, or rats
and mice can get at it, can be saved
if it is given proper care. Much ce-
real food is ruined because 1t is not
kept in cans or other suitable con-
tanners and protected against weevils
or other insects. Prevent such losses
by careful handling.

If might only think-he bears

To ward the shadow of a shell

And like the wings of angels keep

To shield him from single pain.

To my own flesh which is no more my

No Rice for Face Powder.

Rice is food, not a frivolity, ac-
cording to wartime classification.
Therefore the French government has
prohibited the manufacture of face
powder from rice. This is the sad
news flashed straight from Paris, that
gay city which has previously led the
world in the matter of vanities, as it
now leads in the matter Of valor. This
report declares also that the women
of France are flicking away daily on
their powder puffs some 100000 sol
diers' rations of good rice.

A pretty salad and one which VIII
suggest various other combinations is
this: Arrange two, three or four ten

plate and on each put spoonful OF
different kind of vegetable. Asparagus
tips on one leaf, sections of tomatoes
on another with celery and cut apple
on a third, all well marinated with
French dressing and serve with mayon-
naise.
Pineapple with pecan meats is an
other good combination with which to
stuff little ripe red tomatoes. Gar
nish the top with cubes of the tomato
which was removed. Serve with may
onnaise dressing.
Cooked stalks of asparagus, three or
four that have been marinated in well
seasoned dressing, then thrust through
a ring of red or green pepper, or q
ring OF orange or lemon, all laid on let
tuce and served with spoonful of
mayonnaise make pretty salad.
