Eels Are Ee,s.

John Treadwell Nichols, assistant
curator of the department Of ichthy-
ology OF the American Museum Of NAT
ural History, has done his bit for the
food supply by an effort to lessen the
prejudice against cells.
The chapter Of the cookbook devoted
to cells should begin: First catch
your eel; then forget how 1t looks"
The trouble with eating cells is at
the start. After the first plate Of cells
the reluctant customer is ready for
more.
Mr.. Nichols U us that cells
have. In fact. no relationship with
snakes. They have developed their
form and sinuosity by their habit OF
poking into cracks and crannies Of
waterbeds. They are true fishes and
should not be victims Of the prejudice
against snakes.
The classic way to cook cells is to
skin them, clean them. cut them into
lengths and fry in butter. MANY per-
sons" says Mr.. Nichols. find them
delicious" That's no lie.-Buffalo En-
quirer.

have good care If good results n to
be expected. Give them plenty Of
wholesome food at all times. Provide
dry quarters which are well ventilated.
Give them an opportunity to exercise.
And give them closest attention at
lambing time. Occasional inspection
and regular dipping IL also essential
to insure freedom from lice, ticks and
skin diseases.
Good pastures are required during
the summer months which is of spe-
cial Importance during late summer
and fall when the lambs need to be
put in shape for market and the rest
Of the flock kept in the best Of condi-
ton for breeding. At this season OF
the year the regular pastures usually
afford but little feed and that of in
ferior quality. For this reason many
successful growers plant some forage
crop for this purpose. If sown alone
in early May and cultivated, feed
should be afforded by the latter part Of
July, while, IL seeded in corn from
July l to Is. should provide October
and later fall feeding as long as need
ed, much Of the growth being made
otter the corn Is cut. One acre Of the
crop grown alone. or two acres with
corn, is usually sufficient to fatten
from 80 to 40 lambs If allowed the
run of other fields.
Sheep require relatively little atten-
ton as compared with other kinds OF
stock, but attention at lambing time
Is very important. The lambing sea-
20 is the shepherds harvest time,
and the size and quality Of the crop
practically determine the profits. At
this time extra attention must be given
to the ewes and lambs and in no other
way can time be used to better advan-
tage on the farm.

Unfortunate Expression.

Although our new war secretary,
Lord Miner. cannot exactly be said
to shine as a humorfst, he can enjoy
a good story against himself. as wit
ness the following, which he is fond
of relating.
Some years ago. fresh from his
South African triumphs, he addressed
an audience OF undergraduates at his
old university.
1--WE must remember not merely
the beauty Of the individual colleges.
but the beauty Of Oxford as a whole.
And what a whole It is"
"T1ear, hear" yelled the varsity
men "Yes. what q hole!" they
groaned. "What q beastly hole!"
Then It dawned upon Lord Miner
that this was q sentiment he would
rather have expressed differently

A Kansas City man who Is trying to
be very patriotic Is beginning to WON
der II he Is not cursed with q pro-
German stomach. During the daytime.
when he Is up on his feet, he has no

but just as soon as he lies down at

with a mad craving for food, and the
only way I can get back to sleep is to

myself ONE hot food"
The man says he has tried his best
to overcome this hunger habit, but Is
unable to do SO. Several times q week
he will go to the kitchen in the middle
Of the night. put on a skillet and fry q
piece of ham. or bacon and eggs. and.

or otherwise Of good quality he should
Inspect fields of adapted varieties
grown by some Of his neighbors and
arrange to obtain seed from them after
threshing. In many instances he can
arrange to have special care given to
this field at threshing time in order to
prevent mixture. Such care Is espe-
cially desirable this year, when the
supply Of seed wheat retained on the
farms probably is smaller than ever
before.
Seeding with q drill always is adyis-
able. In general, early seeding gives
better results than late seeding. Where

Women and children on farms can
make good wages early this fall by
gathering and curing sumac as a side
line. To assist In firmly establishing
the industry Of gathering this wild
plant-a source of tannin used In tam
ming and dyeing-the department OF
agriculture IL 500 to publish In a bull
letin helpful suggestions to gatherers
and dealers. It Is believed that the
possibilities OF the sumac industry
have not been realised and that the
wars interruption Of Sicilian importa-
lions makes the present an Opportune
time to place the industry on a firmer
footing. The sumac plant is chiefly
abundant east of the Mississippi river
from Maine to central Georgia and
Mississippi.
Domestic sumac as now prepared for
market contains less tannin and Is
much inferior In color to the imported
Sicilian sumnc. When properly gath
cred and cured, domestic sumac leaf
contains from % to 30 per zen of tan

Many bushels can be added to the

ers Gun reap added profits from in
creased yields with no more than the
usual labor or expense If the variety
of seed sown this fall Is pure and is
well adapted to the locality. The seed
should be free from noxi0us weed
seeds and not infested by destructive
plant diseases. 1t should be clean,
plump and heavy. II there is doubt
about what variety produces the best
yields In a given locality the grower
should consult his county agent, state
agricultural college, or write to the
United States department Of argicul-
ture, Washington.

Homegrown wheat should be used
for seed, wherever possible. The best
seed to get Is that Of an adapted vari-
.ety which has been grown continuous

vided 1t is pure. The idea that yarie-
ties run out" IL grown long in one
section is only an expression for the
fact that they are allowed to become
mixed and weedy and disease-infected.
Changing the kind of wheat grown

of getting n proved better variety. 1t
is often desirable to do this, provided
1t is demonstrated beyond question
that the new variety is better for that
locality.

varieties recommended by the state

ties for the several districts within n
state or region are the mes which

The Introduction of these hard red
winter wheats into the Columbia
basin OF Oregon and Washington, and

The best way to be sure that the
