Remembering the contempt German military men
used to entertain for Americans fighting men, find
much satisfaction in what actually happened when it
came to test With armies battling under similar
ditions the prisoners captured afford pretty good critic
ron of the relative merits of the troops We find from
recent reports that in round numbers the stands
about as follows:
ed 10000 Germans while the enemy captured $500 Amer
leans. Mt
The ratio as anyone may see is twenty to in ia
vor of the Americans. Viii
1t is all the impressive when you consider that
in the main, the Germans captured were seasoned vet
erans knowing every rule and trick of the modern
game while our men who captured them so plentifully

perience
We need not conclude that the average American re-

average veteran of the Grman military systm Still the
superiority of the American as fighting calls for
no further comment.

Cook Dried Fruit Proper Way.

Unless dried food is prepared in a
palatable fashion, families will tire
of it and it will be wasted. This will
react unfavorably on the gardens for
next year and on the drying cam
paign.
The main difference between dried
and fresh foods lies in the proportion
of water they contain. Therefore the
first step in preparation is to put back
water about equal in amount to that
lost during drying.
One reason why dried foods have
been unpopular is that they so often
have been undersoaked and over
cooked When the time of soaking is
long, and that of cooking short, the
flavor will be more like that OF fresh
food
Shape and texture must be con-
sdered, the more solid the article the
longer the time required for drying,
and hence the longer the period OF
SOdkllS AllCl NdSIlllS, SUN
foods should be put into three or four
times their bulk of water and left
covered in a cool place from three to
forty-eight hours, according to their
substance. Should any indication of
fermentation appear, they must be
scalded at once. Otherwise leave them
until they regain their original size
or lose most OF the wrinkles in the
surface; then the time of cooking will
be but little longer than that needed
by the same fruit or Vegetable fresh
from the garden.
The water in which fruits have
soaked should be used to cook the
food In case of high favored fruits,
like the apricot more water may be
used for cooking and that in which it
soaked will serve to give flavor to
tasteless apples or gelatine dessert.

CLEAN SEED BEFORE SOWING.

Cleaning and grading the small
grains for spring sowing should be
done before the spring rush In pre-
pairing the land and sowing the seed.
Wheat, oats, barley, and fax can be
improved for seeding by running the
seed through the tanning mill at least
once. The cleaned grain will run
through the drill or other seeding ma
chinery more evenly and thus insure
n more uniform stand than can be OBJ
tanned from uncleaned grain.
Cleaning grain removes most of the
weak and diseased kernels, many of
which may not grow at all. or if they
do grow are likely to produce small,
weak plants. Uniformly large, plump
kernels terminate more evenly, pro-
duce stronger plants, and yield more
than ungraded grain containing smaff,
Shrunken kernels
Thorough cleaning also removes a
large part of the weed seeds the grain
contains. The preparation of the land
for seeding destroys many seeds that
are in the ground and thus helps to
keep weeds in check, but the value
of this work is largely lost If foul seed
is Sown.

and much of the seed is of poorer quail
ity than in normal years. Therefore,
every farmer before sowing should
know what proportion of the seed he
buys cannot be expected to grow. If
one lot contains 90 per cent of seed
that will grow and another lot con-
tains GA per cent of seed that will grow
it will take three bushels of the "a per
