Lime as a Disinfectant.

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 disinfectants. 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 lime" 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 saDi'
tation.

INCREASED NUMBER OF HOGS
Pork Is Mainstay of Laboring Men and
SoIdiers-Need for Fats Is Par
ticuIarly Acute.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
An increase of at least 10 per cent of
the number of hogs during the year
1918, to provide pork, which with wheat
is classed as a leading war food, is rec
commended in the supplementary food
production program for 1918 just is
sued by the United States department
of agriculture. Pork, the program
points out, constitutes more than one
half Of all the meat produced in the
United States and it is the mainstay
of the ration of laboring men and sol
dierS. The need for increasing the sup
ply Of fats is particularly acute. Ami
NAL fats can be increased more quickly
by increasing the number of hogs than
in any other manner. An increase of
from 5 to SO per cent in hog production
in Is states is indicated as especially
desirable. The following measures are
recommended for increasing pork pro-
duction.
The increase in the number of hogs
in the Northwestern states should be
large. In the New England states,
where only about two hogs are kept
per farm, the increase also should be
great.
Pork production will be increased
economically by breeding for two lit
tiers year, by saving through better
care larger number of the pigs far
rowed; by growing pasture and forage
crops; by using wastes, especially
town and city garbage; by proper "a
lions of concentrated feeds; by the use
of self-feeders; by pasturing alfalfa
and other legumes and other forage
crops; by hogging down grain sor-
ghums and corn; by finishing hogs to
heavier weights up to about 275
pounds, and by preventive measures
which will keep hogs free from cholera,
tuberculosis, other diseases, and para
sites.

ExnerimentaI Kitchen.

An experimental kitchen, where sub
stitutes for wheat are being tested,
has recently been established and
equipped by the Office of home eco
Monies, United States department of
agriculture. In this kitchen some of
the good old recipes which were in
use so to 70 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-work side by side in
the new kitchen. Before a recipe is
made public it 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 it 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.
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 a 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
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 green's picked over carefully.

BALANCED RATIONS IN NEED
High-Priced Grain Makes 1t Necessary
for Farmers to Grow More
Roughage Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
With the present high price Of grains
it is hardly necessary to call attention
to the need for growing more nearly
balanced roughage rations, by planting
Canada peas in oats and soy beans in
corn for silage, or by planting the
crops separately for hay or seed. If
soy beans are planted for hay, the
fine-stemmed varieties are preferable.
AT present it is profitable to grow the
crops for seed, and even if the price
Of seed should go down, they will pay
as substitute for cottonseed meal in
the ration for dairy cattle, as the pro-
tein contents Of these crops is even
higher than that Of cotton seed. If soy
beans are used for feed they should be
mixed before grinding with some less
oily grain, as corn or oats, or with
hominy or bran.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkhan1's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Wonan's Use.

A visit TO the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

PROPAGANDA.

There is a movement on foot to
start an educational propaganda with
in the German empire, to inform the
people of those countries of the real
demands that the other nations of the
world make. One writer suggests that
the best thing to be done in that direc-
ton is to print two or three million
copies Of the Ten Commandments in
the German language and distribute
them over the whole of the country by
MISUNDERSTANDING WOrld-Herald.

yard during the daytime is no proof
that the same dog does not kill sheep
at night.
Because Of the economic loss &C.
casioned by sheep-killing dogs, and be-
cause such dogs bring the whole of
their kind into bad repute, the true ad
mirers and friends of this animal
should help to further any steps likely
to result in the limitation Of the ac-
tivity of these discrediting members of
a noble race. One of the most prac-
ticable methods of accomplishing this
result seems to be to place upon dogs
such a tax as will reduce the number
of superfuous ones and result in fewer
being kept by persons who cannot or
will not give them the attention neces-
sary to prevent the formation of habits
and associations that Lead to sheep
killing.

QUEER CUSTOMS IN B0RNE0
Norwegian Explorer Writes of Some
of His Experiences in
That Island.

Quaint customs in darkest BOrneo
are described by DR.. Carl Lumholtz
Norwegian traveller. Doctor Lumho1tz
says, in part:
We met six natives who had been
| hunting the rhinOceros in the west.
| The horn of the animal when pow
dered is in great demand by the Chi
nese as a medicine, and fetches high
price. Such an expedition may last for
two months. The hunters carry no pro-
visions, and live on sage and what
animals they can kill. When there is
a scarcity of food they frequently go
three or four days merely on water,
and stay the pangs of hunger with
tobacco. I was told that man would
tackle a rhinoceros with a spear
single-handed, though the beast is
very difficult to kill.
One day we were surprised by the
arrival of a Saputan chief with two
companions in boat. They brought
with them a dog, blowpipe for darts,
and recently killed pig.
Not far from the Muller mountains
we camped upon the Upper Kasao
river, which is inhabited by Saputans.
They are a crude, friendly people,
who, a hundred years ago, were mere
cave-dwellers in the mountains to the
east.
At Saputan I had the good fortune
to take cinematograph picture of the
ceremony of the piercing of a chiefs
ears. It is their privilege to wear a
tigers tooth inserted in a hole in the
upper part of each ear.
The chief was seated and board
was placed behind his head. Friends
and supporters assisted in the opera
ton, which consisted of an empty rifle
cartridge being forced through his ear.
Blood streamed down, and the man,
apparently of a very robust type,
seemed to be near fainting. A medi-
cine man was hurriedly summoned,
and he clapped his hands over the ears
and then, opening them, produced a
small stone. This he threw into the
river.
was told that this stone was the
supposed cause of the chiefs illness.
The scene was brought to a dramatic
conclusion by the exhausted chief be-
ing ANONYMOUSLY carried away on the
back of a young man. During the aft
ernoon more pebbles were produced by
the same sleight of hand, and a pig
was killed in order to appease the bad
spirit which had caused the chiefs i'll
ness.
The Dyaks of the Upper Mahakkan
are friendly to strangers, and as the
great rapids down the river form a
natural barriert they seldom receive
visitors, and are little changed by out
side influence. The Mohammedan Ma
lays, for instance, have never been
able to extend their influence above
the rapids.
Luckily for the Dyaks, and incident
ally for ethnology, these natives pos
sess a fine muscular development. The
women are well formed and move with
grace and freedom. The headhunting
part of the native religion has been
practically suppressed by Dutch inf1u-
ence, and so far as I could ascertain
the last case of the kind in this region
was at least five years ago

The dog rightfully holds a strong
