MoscoW.-In the Country'S Crisis
the Russian Church has collapsed.
That is truth at once terrible and
tremendous, and of worldwide i'm
port. Speaking broadly, in the most
extraordinary revolution of modern
history the church has failed to tul-
fill its expected part. While the
Russian people are peculiarly devot-
ed to religion, yet in this transition
they have simply passed by the
church, the influence of which has
manifestly and steadily waned since
the beginning Of the revolution.
As a national institution, as a
neighborhood organization, and as Il
social influence, the Holy Orthodox
Russian Church is at the lowest ebb
OF its history. The new leaders Of
the radical government spurned and
may finally outlaw 1t; while the pop
ulace are increasingly Indifferent.
On the other hand, the "intelIigen-
tial" seem to be turning with new
and desperate interest to the church.

ghostly consolation.

On Saturday she baked her oatmeal
bread to last for Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. The rolls for Sunday were
therefore ready to be reheated Sunday
morning. The hen for the chicken
loaf was cooked In the fireless cooker
Saturday in one cooking compartment
while quantity of apricots was cook
ing in the other compartment. The
Goldfish balls were made Saturday
night, thus utilizing some mashed po-
tatoes left from dinner.
Twice the quantity of homlny grits
required were cooked in the double
boiler for Monday breakfast and util-
lied with the apricots left from Sun
day to make the apricot-hominy seal
lop. In the same way enough apples
were baked for two meals. Corn sirup
was used to sweeten the baked apples
and stewed fruit in place of sugar.
The stock from boiling the chicken
served as the basis for chicken soup
Tuesday, and the small quantities Of
leftover vegetables used for the vege-
table salad Friday.

man, woman and child with about 2k
pounds a year, which Is equivalent to
8 per cent Of the amount of sugar they
consume In normal times. Thus there
IL ample room for expansion of both
the production and consumption. The
present use Of honey in the home usu-
ally Is as substitute for jellies. jams,
and sirup. 1t Is little used In domestic
cooking or baking, but this use should
be increased. While honey within re-
cent years has sold at prices sufficient
ly low to justify it's use as a substitute
for sugar, 1t Is rarely used In CONNER
clal food manufacturing except In the
be kept moist for considerable time.
Usually, however, the supply Of honey
is so inadequate that most Of the crop
can be used as spread for bread.
With the use limited as 1t is. many
people in the United States rarely eat
honey. but 1t is evident that there
might be developed ready sale for
honey as a supplement to sugar. IL
production were increased many times.
The amount Of nectar secreted by
the untold myriads Of flowers. from
which bees, make honey, Is large be-
yOnd our comprehension. The total
amount Of sugar in the nectar greatly
exceeds the amount Of all sugar and
other sweets consumed by the Ameri-
can people. Unfortunately, from the
standpoint Of man, this sugar cannot
all be collected and utilized as human
food. Even the honey bee, which Is so
often used as an example of industry.
consumes for its own food the larger
part Of all that II collects.
Beekeeping Is. therefore. the means
Of saving for human use a small frac-
tiOn OF the vast store of sugar secreted.
But the raw material Is free and Its
conservation costs only small ex-
penditure for equipment and relatively
little In labor. and the honey crop could
be increased 10 or even 20 times with
out increasing the cost Of production
per pound to an appreciable degree.

LIMESTONE FOR SOUR SOILS
Farmers Have Been Too Slow In Ap-
preciating Its value-Aids Manure
and Fertilizer.

Ground limestone Is the greatest
known aid to bigger, better crops.
Farmers have been far too slow In
appreciating its valne. Only ten years
ago, not more than a few hundred
tons of lime were used in this country
annually. At the present time the
yearly tonnage has mounted up to the
million mark, but even this is too iif-
tie, by far.
It has been said that one acre in
every three of arabic land in this coun-
try is sour. Authorities claim that
lime is badly needed all over eastern
Ohio. Nearly every acre Of land In
New England is in need Of lining.
Also the land Of the Atlantic and Gulf
coast plains. In Wisconsin. fOur-fifths
Of the land in the state needs it badly.
Even in the heart Of the corn belt. the
richest land In the world, farmers ars
turning to the use Of lime to grow big
crops of corn and wheat. Every acre
Of sour land in the country badly needs
and should have two to four tons OF
ground limestone applied.
Surely If every farm in the garden
spot Of America (the corn beIt) finds
1t profitable to use lime. II will pay

country.

The use of more efficient imple-
ments will increase total production,
not only by increasing acreage. but
also by increasing acre yields.
Yields per acre may be increased
by better methods Of tilling the
ground and better methods of cultivat-
Ing the crop. Any general advice as
to better methods of tillage must be
modified to meet specific conditions. as
methods found valuable in some local.
!ties may be of less value or even detrl-
mental in other localities. AS general
advice. the following suggestions are
valuable and properly applied will lead
to increased acre yields.
Land is plowed in order to loosen It
and enable water to enter In greater
quantity, be absorbed to greater depth.
and remain longer in the soil.
A deep seed bed well supplied with
soil moisture and we'll drained makes
a big corn yield possible, whether the
summer proves "too dry" or "too wet"
If not well plowed, some lands are
so impervious that during several
weeks Of rainy weather they remain
dry below depth of or 10 inches.
When the soil is loose to sufficient
depth, corn roots penetrate in abun.
dance to depth of 3 or feet.
The growing Of clover and deep
rooted plants is profitably practiced
with most soils, and subsoiling is prof.
ltably practiced with some soils to in
crease their water-absorblng capacity
and to enable the corn roots to use the
soil to greater depths.
Large plows and plenty Of power
will facilitate this thorough prepara-
ton of the seed bed.
On many heavy clay soils the yield
of corn per acre depends largely upon
the thoroughness of the plowing.
1t Is necessary to loosen all the lan1
and leave no large air spaces. To "cut
and cover" Is not good practice.
Difference In Flowing.
A pasture field was plowed in alter

prepared by the United States Depart

With the present growing demand
for sugar in the United States. 1t is
important that every possible means
be employed on the farm to produce
substitutes. One way by which this
can be done is to keep bees and get
a crop of honey, which can be used in
many ways in place of sugar. The pro-
duction of honey in this country can
be increased without great effort. Not
only should those who already keep
bees increase the number of their col
onies, but the industry should be ex-
tended in localities where beekeeping
has not been tried on commercial
scale.
The average annual honey crop of
the United States is about 250,OOO,OO0
pounds and is sufficient to supply each

the subsoil. Hills Of corn growing on
hard spots or over large air spaces
usually produce poorly.
The most successful corn growers
realize the importance of thorough
early civilizations. which prevent any
check in the growth of the plants due
to weeds or crusted soil. From the
time Of termination to the maturing
Of the corn the farmer should see that
the plants are not subjected to any
preventable unfavorable conditions,
but are permitted to make a steady
vigorous growth.
Use Weeders and Harrows.
Horse weeders and harrows should
be used when needed to break a sur-
face crust, check insect depredations
or kill young weeds that start before
the corn Is up or large enough to be
worked with other implements. For
the first cultivation after the plants
are up. and while they are very small.
narrow shovels that throw the soil
very little should be used, and tenders
usually are desirable to prevent the
covering Of the plants. .
After the plants have reached a
height Of 2 or feet, the soil, even
in the middle Of the rows, should not
be cultivated deeper than inches,
and usually q shallower cultivation
will prove better. For retaining soil
moisture a loose soil mulch 2 or 8
inches In thickness should be main
Corn should be cultivated often
enough to keep down weeds and to
maintain constantly loose sop mulch

Matrons for Rest Rooms.

In rest rooms employing matrons
many activities can be carried on
which otherwise would not be possible.
The matron not only sees that the
rose room is kept In clean, sanitary
condition at all times, but she may
provide for sleeping child or sys-
tenn for providing hot lunches at noon
for women and children. She may
care for packages which otherwise
might have to be carried from place
to place. In some rest rooms the
matron takes charge of the woman's
exchange, which usually is supervised
by committee from the women's
clubs.

Definite Schedule Will Be Great Help
In Avoiding Waste--Meals Sug-
qested to Meet Food Adminis-
tration's Requirements.

It will pay you, Mrs. Housekeeper,
to sit down for an hour each week
and spend the time in planning your
weeks menus in advance. Especially
at this time when all are striving to
conserve food, you will find a definite
schedule a great help in avoiding
waste.
Here are some menus for week
from a woman who believes in a work.
ing schedule for her household. The
meals are carefully planned to meet,
first of all, the food administrators
requirements, using substitutes for
wheat, meat, fat, and sugar, and they
show also how a little careful plan
ming can save the time and labor of
the busy housewife. Features of the
menus are the breadless meals and
"quick breads" (muffins, etc.) made
from other grains to save wheat, and
the use of meat substitutes and savory
dishes which call for little meat.
The meals suggested are all simple
and are planned to meet the needs Of
family of four, consisting Of two
adults and two children. None Of the
menus are inflexible but could easily
be varied to meet changing conditions.
You can use these as guides in plan
ming your family meals.
