MT. HERMoN HOLY GROUND
Many Nations Have Guilt Their Tenn.
pies on the Elevation of Which
David Sang,

Mount Hermon. sacred mountain of
Syria. rises, silent sentinel, above
the fruitful fields and vineyards of
Lebanon and Damascus. Cut Off from
its range of the Antllibanps by the
deep valley of Barada II has kept its
lonely vigil through the ages. The
Hebrews called it Hermit. According
to legend the wicked angels in their
fall from Paradise landed on Hermon
and gave it its name.
Like a gray.haired giant the old
mountain helds its whlte-crowned head
above the clouds. At sunset these
clouds turn to rose and gold, the noun
tain top flaming like torch against
the sky. AS the sunlight fades the
evening mists wrap old Hermon's head
in walls Of gray and white. "The
white-haired old man of the mountain
has donned his nightcap for the night"
the people of the surrounding plains
tell you.
The mountains foot is covered with
the green Of oaks, poplars and dense
brush with an occasional luxuriant
vineyard. The wines of Damascus are
famous throughout the Orient. The
mountain springs keep the valleys
well supplied with water. Higher up
are the ruins of former temples, built
centuries ago. their entrances facing
the rising sun. In the old days the
pious folks of the valley climbed the
mountain side to worship on their holy
ground. The temples are of various
nations, including Greek, Roman and
Hebrew.
David sang of Hermon and the
cooling breath of the winds blowing
from it's icy SUBMITS. AS the giver of
all good things, of wine and cool wa
ter, of timber and olives and breezes
IN summer days, of tales of wonder
and angels for the winter nights. the
people of old looked to Hermon as II
storehouse of treasure set up by
benefcent Deity.

Every farmer knows that nitrogen Is
one Of the chemical elements which
neither his crops nor his stock can do
without. The same is true Of nitrogen
in human food. II is absolutely nee
essary for the building and repair of
body tissues and can be obtained only
from the food substance or nutrient
known as protein.
The foods usually classed as rich In
protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat,
poultry and FISH; dried legumes. such
as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans
and peanuts. Wheat. oats and some
other cereals also furnish considerable
protein.
A man at moderate muscular work
is believed to need about three and
one-hnlf ounces OF protein uay, and
family consisting Of father, mother
and three small children needs about
twelve ounces a day. Real economy
in the use of protein foods lies not IN
leaving them out Of the diet. but in
choosing and combining kinds which

How to Candle Eqos.

If you are going TO put away some
summer-laid eggs for winter use-both
a patriotic and a personal duty--you
will need to exercise care 10 see that
only good eggs are put in the water
glass or limewater contalner. One bad
egg is likely to destroy several others.
By consistently gathering the eggs
when they are fresh, most of the dan.
ger of storing bad eggs is avoided but,
since some eggs are imperfect when
they are laid, Gambling, where 1t can
be done without too much trouble and
delay, might well be practiced.
The United States department OF
agriculture has just isssed bulletin
How to Candle Eggs" The text is
brief and direct aud is illustrated with
cobred plates showing the way IN
which an egg should appear before the
candle, together with the various ways
II should not appear. The bulletin was
written by DR. NJ. r. Pennington. chief
Of the food research laboratory, MS
sisted by NJ. X. jenkins, bacteriologist,
and II. NJ. P. Betts, artist. 1t should
he of great use, not only to persons
putting away eggs for home use but
TO those who desIre to establish or
maintain regulations for delivering
eggs in perfect condition.

COSTLY FOODS ARE
NOT ALWAYS BEST

The nutritiye value of an ar
ticIe Of food and Its price sell
dom have any relation to each
other. An expensive cut of beef
is not necessarily any more sus-

usually tastes better or can be
cooked by easier methods. But
care in cooking and seasoning
will make inexpensive meats at
tractive and much better than
costly ones poorly prepared.
With fruits and vegetables

MONEY IN RABBITS.
Produced at Little Cost. Increase Rap. idly and Will Help Supply Meat
 for Home Consumption.

The present shortage Of beef and pork can not be remedied quickly However, rabbits breed rapidly, ma ture early and furnish a palatable and highly nutritious meat; consequently they can be made to increase our meat supply enormously within a few months.
 The fact that rabbits are grown easily, maintained at very small feed cost, not susceptible to disease, stand confinement well, are very prolific and require but a small space in the back yard or under back shed should cause many to turn their attention to this industry.
 The Belgian Hare, Flemish Giant and New Zealand Red are recommend ed on account of their size, prolific. ness and their splendid table qualities.
 Farmers Bulletin No. 496 on Rab. bit Culture has just been issued by the United States Department of Agri culture and will be sent free to any one interested. Information on this subject will be furnished glad ly on application to H. B. Lansden. Extension Division, Old Statohouse. Little Rock, Arkansas.
