How Potato Butter Is Made

Butter. which formerly was an exclu-

be made from nuts and potatoes. The
latest substitute to compete with the
bovine nectar Of the meadow and the
silo has been announced by the con-
servation department Of the United
States food administration to be pota-
to butter.
From the home Of the "magna char

British ministry Of food that potato
butter can be made for ten cents
pound. Here Is the modus operandi,
"Peel the potatoes. Boil until they
fall to pieces and become fioury. Rub
them through fine sieve into warm

Ing.
1t is expected that by the middle of
this summer the British government
will be converting trees into lumber
at the rate of 100000 tons per an
mum. The old, careful methods of Eu-
rope, by which trees which had passed
their prime were selected and indi.
vidually chopped down, leaving the
forest undisturbed, are being replaced
by style Of numbering more familiar

Canadian lumberjacks are swinging
their axes in the New Forest and
many other historic tracts, cutting q

as in the woods of British Columbis

Burbank's Liberty Wheat
Gives Promise That Bread
Is to Be More Abundant

AS Luther Burbank has not been In
the habit of indulging in baseless SEN
sations, the announcement from Santa
Rosa that, after eleven years of ex-
perimentation, he has evolved wheat
plant which will yield an average OF
forty bushels to the acre OF grain
possessing high percentage Of glu-
ten becomes news Of first Importance,
asserts writer in the New York
World.
Although the wheat crop Of the
United States is greater than that of
any other nation, the average yield to
the acre has always been compara-
lively small. Some years ago it did
not exceed twelve bushels. Taking
into account what Mr.. Burbank has
done In the matter Of potatoes, apples
and plums, to say nothing Of flowers,
as to which he has almost wrought
miracles, we may easily accept at face
value whatever he has to say in re-
gard to cereals.
Wheat flour has become so vital as
q food Of civilization that strenuous
efforts have been made to extend the
acreage and by more careful methods
OF tillage to increase the average PROD
uct. Thus far, however, in spite Of
agitation and instruction, such results
as have been gained must be attrib-
uted more to favorable seasons than
to intensified cultivation. What q
wizard Of horticulture has achieved In
the wonderful climate Of California
may not be repeated by everybody else
under less favorable conditions, but
his discovery Is full Of promise that
some day the bread Of the world is to
be more abundant. The man who wins
that triumph will be entitled to stand
in the front rank of those who are to
conquer the earth for liberty and de-
mocracy.

OUR LITTLE HOUR

Our little hour-how swift 1t flies
When poppies flare and lilies smile;
How soon the fieeting minute dies,
Leaving us but little while
To dream our dream, to sing our song.
To pick the fruit, to pluck the flower
The gods-they do not give Us long
Our little hour.
Our little hour-how short a time
To wage our wars, to fan our hates'
To take our fill of armored crime.
To troop our banners, storm the gates
Blood on the sword, our eyes blood-red.
Blind In our puny reign Of power.
Do we forget how soon Is sped

Our little hour-how soon It dies:
How short time to tell our beads,
To chant our feeble ntanies,
To think sweet thoughts, to do good
deeds.

The bells hang silent In the tower
So passes with The dying hymn
Our little hour.
