ST. Paul, MINI. Oct. l6.--While prat.

ference today at Moose Lake, plans
for a special session of the Minnesota
legislature to provide adequate assist

Minnesota, were informally discussed
by state department heads and legis.

1t was pointed out locally that the
few hundred thousand dollars avail
able for relief work is only a trifle
compared to the amount necessary to
relieve the stricken region.
Reports throughout the state today
indicated the only serious fires were
in the Duluth.Superior region. Fires
are reported under control from Cass
Lake to Hibbing.- A dispatch from
Cass Lake said the city is we'll pro-

that district are closed because OF

LEATHER IS NEEDED

It Is Quite Profitable to Skin All
Animals Carefully.
Tanner Pays More for Packers Hides
Than for Those Obtained From
Farmers-Proper Storage
10 Of Importance.
Prepared by the United States Depart

fPrepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The present very urgent demand for
leather in the Industries and the In
crease iq price which unsecured hides
bring on the market emphasizes the i'm
portance and even necessity Of exer-
cising the utmost care in removing
skins from farm animals. By devot-
ing little extra time necessary In
skinning animals carefully-possibly
only three to five minutes in taking of
the skin of a calf, or Is minutes in
the case of beef hide-the value of
the hide may be increased several
times. The tanner pays more foh
packers hides than for those from
farmers or country slaughterers. This
is due in part to better facilities in the
large packing houses for curing and
storage of hides. but principally to
the fact that such hides have been
taken Off properly. Country hides re-
moved by unskilled workmen are often
cut and scored. When such hides
come from tannery, scores show very
plainly, and in many cases one-half Of
the thickness Of the leather is lost by
such defects. Imperfections can be
avoided by the careful use Of the skin
ming knife, by keeping the hides clean
and free from blood and by proper
storage and packing.
The use Of the knife may be avoid
ed by taking off calfskins. except on
the head, neck, legs and TANKS. as the
body skin may be drawn or listed off.
Where the knife is used, the skin
should be drawn taut with one hand,
while the knife Is used with the other,
special care being taken to hold the
back of the blade close to the skin. In
lieu Of the knife some butchers use a
wooden stick shaped like mans
thumb and employ knife only on the
portions Of the body mentioned.
It Is Objectionable to have blood on
the hides. particularly in the summer.

to slip from rotting or decomposition
when the hides are packed and the
placing Of otherwise good hides in the

Care should be taken to avoid plac.
ing any hides In the pack until they
are free from animal heat. Allow them
to lie folded for from three to 1--WE
hours. or sufficiently long to allow the
animal heat to get out OF them. II
this is not done, patches Of decompo-
sition may result and such hides are
often reduced In market value ut least

was over he had nude up his mind that
Cynthia had been making fool Of
him.
The next day he still thought 1t.

spoke. She saw ut once her presence

She had taken and attempted to ford
the streum where he imagined she had
crossed. The spot he chose appeared
quite shallow from the bank, but ms
he reached the center, he stepped into
deep hole and sunk ont Of sight.
Cynthia looked up just In time and
with cry jumped into the water and
made for the spot. When he came up
for the first time she was there to
clutch him and Il couple of strokes took
them to safety. His body remained
limp In her grasp. aud as she dragged
him over to the bank and placed him
on the grass. the pnllor of his cheeks
alarmed her. He lay quite still. She
placed her ears to his breast and then
cried out with fright. Hes dead :"

Cynthia's hyster.a vanished when
she discovered he was alive. She was
very angry at first when he confessed
he had not been hurt mt all and was
conscious all the t!me. but her sense
of humor came to the rescue and she
joined In his laugh.

Cook Dried Fruit Proper Way.
Unless dried food is prepared In a
palatable fashion, families will tire of
it and 1t will be wasted. This will
react unfavorably on the gardens for
next year and on the drying campaign.
The main difference between dried
and fresh food 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 viii be more like that Of fresh
food. = 49,
Shape and texture must be co..
sidered. the more solid the article t
longer the time required for dryin.
and hence the longer the period OF
soaking required. After washing,
such foods should be put into three or
four times their bulk Of water and
left covered in cool place from three
to forty-elght 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 sumo 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 II
soaked will serve to give flavor to
tasteless apples or a gelatin dessert.

If dairy cows are to be fed for
profitable production they must
receive a liberal ration at all
seasons. In summer, pasture
generally Is depended upon, but
often 1t must be supplemented
by soiling crops or silage, and
sometimes by concentrates as
well. For winter feeding. the
ration usually is composed of
hay, silage, and q mixture Of
grains. In properly balancing
the ration the grain mixture is
compounded to fit the roughage
with due consideration for cost,
bulk, palatability, and bhysiolog-
ical effect upon the COW. For
best results, cows must be fed
individually, sailed regularly,
and furnished with all the clean
water they will drink.
