Riding the Newspapers

Until recently it was favorite
tunt of the cheap politician to be-
mean and abuse the railroads and
the newspapers, and so much of it
was successful that at the out
break of the war the railroads
were found with rolling stocks so
depleted that new rail lines and
materials in the shape of engines
and cars were far below normal.
The newspapers were not found in
quite so deplorable state but
many shackles still bind them.
And now with the United States
engaged in a mighty struggle our
government finds it's chief ally in
the newspapers. Without them
she could not have put through
the program of the food admins
tration and the shipbuilding plans.
In this day publicity is absolutely

IMPROVE BEEF CATTLE
Purebred Sire Will Work Great
Improvement in Two
Generations

Native Florida cattle make a
good foundation on which to build
a beef herd; the other necessities
are good sires and goo3 food. Two
successive crosses on the native
stock, when the animals are prop
erly fed, will make a wonderful
change in both size and quality.
These facts, as stated by John
M. Scott of the University of Flor
ida experiment station, point the
way to better herds of beef cattle
in the state. By good sire, ne does
not mean a scrub bull now in the
herd. Get a purebred sire and in
fuse new blood into the herd. Good
blood improves the quality, and
good feed also plays an important
part. A combination of the two
form the leaven in the herd that
will work the wonderful change.
BY using scrub sires Of no par
ticular breed, or of mixed breed
ing, there can be no uniformity in
the herd. For instance, if a Here
ford sire be used for year or two,
an Angus sire the next year. and
then a Shorthorn sire, the cattle
will present an appearance OF
patch work. There will be little
uniformity of size, shape or color,
although all sires used were of the
beef type. Above all, guard a.
gainst the use of dairy bull for
beef breeding.
Uniformity is important in de-
veloping a herd of any kind of
livestock. A carload of cattle I'M
form in size and color make a bet
ter appearance, and will usually
bring a much better price than a
load of mixed cattle. A we'll
matched team of horses or span of
mules sells for a better price than
one of broken color.
Native cattle of no particular

bles generously-a custom which
is in accord with the traditions OF
good housekeepers.
Ideas differ as to what is the
best way Of cooking rice, but pro-
baby the most generally accepted
standard is to have all the grains
distinct. When cooked in this
way it is often described as
southern style" 1t may be pre-
pared as follows: To a quart Of
rapidly boiling water, containing
two level teaspoonfuls of salt, a
cupful of thoroughly washed rice
is added so slowly that the boiling
is not stopped. No stirring is per-
mitted, the rice being kept from
sticking to the kettle by the rapid
cooking is needed. When the rice
is soft, the water is poured off
from it and it is covered with a
cloth and placed in a warm part
of the stove so that its grain will
swell.
The water poured off from the
cooked rice contains a certain a.
mount Of food material, principal
ly starch, and this may be boiled
down and used in making soup.
1t will thicken the soup as would

USE RICE MORE LITERALLY
This Nutritious Cereal Can Be
Used in Many Forms

There are few food materials
which serve more purposes than
rice. 1t is used as breakfast &C.
real, as thickening for soups, as
vegetable, as an ingredient of
"made dishes" in which it may
appear in combination with meat,
fish, eggs, cheese or vegetables,
and sweetened and favored in
various ways as desert. The u
University Of Florida extension di-
vision is advocating that more rice
be grown in the State and that it
be substituted wherever possible
for wheat in the diet.
Rice, when properly cooked,
furnishes the body with an album
dance of easily digested starch,
and this explains why orientals
can use it as the "staff Of life" in
stead of bread, and why it may be
substituted for wheat or corn or
oatmeal as a breakfast cereal.
Many persons think it also may
be substituted for potatoes as a
mild favored vegetable.
The supposition is natural, since
a portion of cooked rice furnishes
the body with about the same
quantity Of producing
starch as a portion of potatoes.
Potatoes, however, like most vege-
tables, differ from cereal foods in
the character and combination of
the mineral matters and acids they
contain, which play an important
part in nourishing the body and
keeping it in good working order.
This means they are not exactly
substitutes for one another, and
that the common custom of pro-
viding fruits and vegetables as we
generally do as part of meals
made up to considerable extent
of foods prepared from cereal
grains is a commendable one. 1t

breeding are from 40 to so percent
smaller than the improved breeds,
due TO several causes. Primarily,
thew receive little attention. They
are left to forage for themselves
both winter and summer. If they
are unable to do this they are not
wanted. This means that when
feed is scarce the animal is starved
to such an extent that its growth
is checked beyond recovery. To
avoid stunting cattle, means must
be taken to have feed available
when pasturage is short.
Letting native cattle run at
large and breed at will has a ten
dency to reduce the size. Breed
ing the females when too young
has the same effect. Inbreeding
also plays it's part. All these
things work together to reduce
size, impair quality, and prevent
uniformity.
If the livestock producer is not
in position to give his animals
good care and to provide them
with plenty of feed at all times, he
will probably find it more profita-
BILE to continue to produce native
unimproved cattle. Purebred live
stock must receive better atten-
ton than the natives have had in
past years.

Sweet Potatoes Need Potash


Growers who are counting on
large yields of sweet potatoes this
year may be disappointed unless
they are able to fertilize their
plots with some form of potash
Evidence obtained through expert,
ments at the University of Florida
experiment station point the truth
of this contention. Some sweet
potatoes can be raised without lib,
eral applications of potash, but the
yield will probably be small.
A fertilizer test for sweet pota-
toes was begun in 1915 on land
that had been used for a fertilizer
test for Japanese cane during the
previous seven years. The pota-
toes were given the same fertili-
Aer treatment as the cane had re-
ceived. Thu. land was fair grade
of high pineland. The potatoes
grown the following year follow
ed cotton, with a fertilizer treat
ment the same as cotton had re-
ceived. There were eight plots
An average of the yield in bush
els per acre for the two years is :
Plot / which received no phos-
phorus produced 1879 bushels ;
plot 2 which received no ammonia
produced 1919 bu.; plot 3 which re-
ceived no potash produced SO blu. /;
plots 4, 5, 6 and 7 which received
complete fertilizers produced pa,
PIT, 172 and PIP bu.; respectively /;
and plot s which received COM
plete fertilizer plus ground lime
stone produced 100 bu.
The plot receiving no potash
produced the smallest yield. The
largest kield was obtained on the
plot fertilized with sulphate of
ammonia, muriate Of potash and
acid phosphate.

High Costs on Farms, Too.

People who live in the cities
may think they are the only per-
sons having the right to protest a
gainst the ever advancing prices.
They may feel they are being
made the "goat" because the food
they eat, the clothing thew wear
and the other necessities OF life
cost more. But they are not, any
more than their brothers out or
the farm, says the University OF
Florida extension division.
Farmers are compelled to pay
as much as fifty percent more for
farm equipment. And besides,
they suffer the same as the town
man for they have to pay more for
food and clothing and the other
things required to make life worth
while.
Just now, farmers are finding it
hard to get the necessary help on
the farm and are paying advanced
wages to what they do get. Some
are discovering that farm machin-
cry is scarce at high prices and in
certain localities it can hardly be
bought at all because the stores
did not stock up at high prices.
With all his difficulties staring

are run up and down and add suffi-
Gent stiffness to the house. They are
used also for the roof and covered with
roofing paper. The back and sides Of
the house also can be covered with
roofing paper, or the cracks can be
covered with wooden battens or strips
ia to 3 inches wide. In the front of
the house there should be left a win
dow or opening which can be closed,
when desired, by muslin screen or
curtain which serves as a protection
against bad weather but allows venti-
lation. In the side a door should be
provided which will allow entrance. A
shed or single-slope roof is best be-
cause easiest to build. A height of 6
feet in front and feet in the rear is
ample. If desired, the house may be
built higher, so that it is more convent

will be slight. The ventilator in the
rear is not needed in the northern part
of the country, but is desirable in the

INSURE CHICKENS AND EGGS
Farmer Who Hatches Early in Spring
Seems to Have Best of Argument
Lay in Winter

An essential part of the endeavor to
insure more chickens and eggs is con-
tanned in the maxim-hatch early. The
farmer who matches early in the spring,
either by incubation or natural meth
DDS, seems to have all the best of the
argument. When chickens are Matched
early in the spring they mature in the
fall and lay eggs in the winter. Then,
in the spring, they are ready to hatch
early. Late-hatched fowls are late in
maturing, do not lay in the winter,

SUITABLE HOUSE FOR FOWLS
Hens Should Be Comfortable, With
Floor Space of or 4 Square Feet
for Each Bird.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The poultry flock should be comfort
ably but not extensively housed. A
house which provides a floor space Of
3 or 4 square feet per bird is ample for
the purpose, and fowls are often sue
cessfully kept with an allowance no
greater than 215 to square feet.
Houses must be dry and free from
draft, but must allow ventilation.
Often there is an unused shed or small
building on the place which can easily
he converted into chicken house. The
front of the poultry house should be
faced toward the south, if possible, so
that the sun will shine into it. Per-
fectly satisfactory houses can be made
cheaply from piano boxes or other
packing cases. Two piano boxes with
the backs removed can be nailed to-
gether and a door cut in the end, These
boxes should be covered with roofing
paper in order to keep the house dry
and to make it wind-proof. A portion
of the door should be left open or COW
cred with a piece of muslin, SO as to
allow ventilation. Similar houses can
be constructed of packing cases at a
relatively small cost. A small amount
of by or 2 by lumber can be pur-
chased for framing. The box boards
can be applied for siding or sheathing
and then covered with roofing paper.
Where there is a board fence it is
sometimes possible to take advantage
of this by building the poultry house
in the corner of the fence, and making
the fence itself, with the cracks COW
cred by strips or'battened, serve as the
back and one side of the house.
A cheap house by feet square can
be made by by finch pieces and IL
inch boards. The 2 by 4 pieces are
used for stills, plates, corner posts, and
three rafters. No studding is required
except that necessary to frame the
