Lime as a pislnfeetant

The simplest things are the things
most likely to be forgotten. 1t is
never out of place, therefore, at this
season of the year for all of us to
refresh our memories to the fact that
ordinary quicklime is one of the best
and cheapest of dislnfectants. To two
pounds of unslaked lime pint of
water is added. When the Jumps
have crumbled and the heat generated
In the process Of shaking has disap-
peared, there is added four volumes
of water to one of the slaked lime,
making the mixture known as milk
of line" 1t furnishes one of the
best of disinfectants for sick-room
discharges. Whitewashing fences,
pens and the interior of outhouses
with it tends to render them more
sanitary. The unslaked lime scat
tered about dairy barns, lots and
yards simplifies the problems of sani-
tation.

Experimental Kitchen.

An experimental kitchen, where sub
stitutes for wheat are being tested,
has recently been established and
equipped by the office of home eco
nomics, United States department of
agriculture. In this kitchen some of
the good old recipes which were in
use so to rs years ago, when corn,
buckwheat, rye and barley were In
more common use, are being revised
and standardized, and new recipes in
which wheat substitutes play an i'm
portant part are tested and standard
lied. A group of women-laboratory
specialists and housekeepers with
special training-worlf side by side in
the new kitchen. Before a recipe is
made public 1t must not only pass the
test of the laboratory specialists but
must also meet the test of actual ex-
perience in the hands of housekeep-
er who studies 1t for its practical
value in the average kitchen.

Preparations for Canning.

The first steps In all canning, says
the United States department of ag-
riculture, consist in the preparation
and cleaning of containers and in the
preparation of the products to be
canned by washing, pairing, trimming.
and cutting into pieces where division
is necessary.
Those engaged in the work should
start with clean hands, clean utensils.
clean, sound, fresh products, and pure,
clean, soft water. No vegetables or
fruits which are withered or unsound
should be canned. If possible, only
fruits and vegetables picked the day
of canning should be used. Peas and
corn, which lose their flavor rapidly,
should be canned, in fact, within five
hours If q choice product is desired.
Before the preparation of the prod
ucts is begun the containers should
be washed. If glass or crockery Jars
are used they should be placed In a
vessel of cold water over a fire to
heat. They will then be hot and
ready for use when the products have
been prepared for packing.
All grit and dirt should be washed
carefully from the materials to be
used. All products should be graded
especially for ripeness. Large fruits
and vegetables should be pared If
necessary, and small fruits, berries,
and greens picked over carefully.

The Medina sentinel. [volume] (Medina, Ohio) 1888-1961, 1918-09-13

The people of Medina county should
know that we have this year only one
district superintendent, and the usual
lines of division between supervision
units have been done away with.
Therefore a visit of the County Su-
perintendent or of the District Super
intendent is to be considered a visit
from the office. We ask at this time
that the people of the various school
districts do all in their power to make
the schools success. This may mean
aiding in finding or providing board
and rooming places for teachers Wis
iting the schools, attending any func-
tions given by the school, or helping
the children in the War Savings cam
paign. The teacher alone cannot
make school.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES
BY SUPT. PEARCE

Our county institute closed with the
same interest and enthusiasm with
which it began. The County Board of
Education has passed resolutions for
the continuance of the county insti-
tute and will aid in every way in MAX
ing it even greater success next year.
Some plans are already under way
looking toward that end.
To the best of our knowledge, we are
about ten or twelve teachers short at
this time. Perhaps five or six one
room schools have not yet opened, but
we are doing everything possible to
get them going. Where several teach
ers are employed in the same school
and one or more missing, those on duty
have heroically taken on the extra
classes and are holding the fort until
reinforcements come.
Difficulty in getting some of the
schools started in properly shows the
need of having county normal. This
however, is matter about which great
care and judgment needs to be exer.
cised. To help over the immediate
difficulty, outlines have been hastily
made. These are of necessity incom
plete, but a manual will be forthcom
ing before the close of the year. The
County Superintendent and the Dis
trict Superintendent have already Wis
tied several schools, namely, Hinckley
Poe, Chatham and few others.

SAVE YOUR MANURE
That Will Make Your Fertilizer Bill Less
and Give Bigger Crops.

All forms of plant foods are scarce
and high-priced, and all waste mater
ials on the farm that contain nitrogen.
phosphate and potash should be saved,
not wasted. The saving of these plant
foods is far more important now than
when they were cheap. Manure that
has been carefully saved is worth 81 or
SIS, or more. ton. With the proper
care we can materially icrease the
production of manure. BY care, one
can make good wages during the win
ter season by bedding well. rot letting
any of the manure go to waste.
What do we mean by going to
waste?" By pitching Il ntilie out
in a pile where it may lose over half Of
its fertilizing value. When The smoke,
as we usually call it, escapes from the
manure pile. it is the equivalent of
money going up in smoke"
If the stables are cleaned out. the
manure should go directly to the field
or in a manure pit with a cover over
it. Ry spreading it directly Oh the
field it saves handling the manure
twice. BY having the field plowed in
the fall and left rough one can scatter
the manure and get practically as good
results as by turning under the man
ure. Hauling manure out druing the
winter just as it is produced limits
that big job Of hauling manure in the
spring when one can be doing some
thing else to good advantage.
Never put off for next spring what
you can do this winter.
Leaves are not equal to straw for
bedding, but should be used where moth
ing better is avsilable. BY keeping
the stable we'll bedded the leaves abb
sorh the liquid manure and there Is
little waste. Many lost moment In
currying the horse is saved.
The Government is calling on US for
a larger crop this year than we pro-;
duced last year. We can do this only
by saving all the manure possible and
by proper cultivation.

RUSSIAN BREAKDOWN.
CONDITIONS Worse Now Than at Any Pre-
vious Time of the War;

While the allies have ceased to ex-
pect any further AID IN the war FROM
Russia and most people understand
that Russia Is no longer a factor. in the
war, yet just how complete the brake
down IS, not everyone Understands.
The following taken from the daily
press makes clear the conditions:
Maj. Gen. Bonch- -Brnevitch, chief Of
staff at the Russian front, paints a
gloomy picture of the condition of the
Russian armies IN a report to Ensign
KryleRko, the commander-in chief.
The army organizations are utterly
denOralized, he says, the officers mex
perienced and the maintenance of dis
ciplIne is impossible. The only pos
sible salvation for the army, the only
chance for offering an effective resist
ance ne declares, is for the various
sections Of the armies to fall back to
their natural defenses and undergo a
thorough re- organization of the units
under trained leaders.
Many parts of the western front are
entirely open. Gen. Bonch-Bruevitcn
reports. at numerous places there be-
ing only 240 infantry men to the mile.
The reserves are refusing to relieve
the men in the trenches and the sold
iers are deserting IN masses. Commu-
nications are broken and few horses
are available. The wire entanglements
have been destroyed to facilitate fra.
ternizlng and the exchange Of COM
modities with the German armies.
At many points, adds the chief of
staff. fortified points have been de-
stroyed. making resistance utterly
imossible on the lines as at present To-
Gated. even with good troops. Various
branches of the staff must soon cease
work. he declared, because Of the dis
ordered conditions and the economic
life Of the army will thus be ruined.
