Better Meals for Children

An effort to secure better noonAiay meals, with at least one warm dish. for school children is receiving, the attention of home demonstration agents, county agents and school officials in Iowa. Farmers warm water for cows in winter and heat coffee for themselves when lunching out in the timber during the wood-cutting season, but top often allow their children to eat cold food at noon day after day." says an Iowa county superintendent who strongly favors warm school lunches for country school chil- dren. Something warm at noon will benefit the children physically and men, tally They will also learn something of good food principles, serving, and Gtole etiquette if the right teacher is on the job.'

PUT BOOSTERS TO THEMSELVES FOR BEST RESULTS
Top-Working Pecans
G. c. srARcHER, Horticulturl.t

By c. c. sTARCHER, Horticulturist
 had several requests the other day for a good rule to follow in the top-working of oceans. My reply was as follows:
 T would not advise the top-worlsing
 of an individual tree or of a grove no matter if the trees were seedlings, if the individual tree or the grove was produc-
 ing fair income on the amount of land covered. I would top-work any tree no
 matter whether it be seeding or
 standard tree that was failing to pro
 dUce a profit because of poor bearing ability, disease or inferior quality of
 nuts. Tn deciding whether or not tree
 is profitable. one must take into con-
 sideration the past treatment the tree
 has received. If it stood in poor land,
 probably the addition of fertilizer or cul ?
 tivation might give it that vigor that isS necessary for profitable crop productionN x
 Certain varieties of trees are so sus
 ceptible to scab that they never ma
 ture supply of salable or usable nuts
 Such trees, whether individual seedlings
 or a standard variety, such as Delmas 4
 when planted in 1owlapds, should be top
 worked to disease resistant varieties sucfA
 as Stuart or Schley. If a tree showss
 poor vitality it should not be top-workedl
 at all. If a tree is entirely too large,
 that is with a trunk foot or more in diameter, it is doubtful whether top
 working VIII prove nnancidlly success ful
 We have a we'll authenticated record in
 Alabama of the production of 800 pounds. of cured nuts from one acre of treesi during their ninth growing season. Al the price received this meant a gross income of S400 on single acre. I'm was the fourth or fifth crop produced this particular lot of trees and the groV1 had been used for other purposes alr every year from the time of planting til the above crop was made. It is tremely doubtful if one could ever cure larger crop of nuts from a. worked tree nine years after top-workS than was secured from this grove nil years after planting. Therefore, one should weigh carefully the advisability of spending money on old trees or whether the same time, money and effort should be spent on de- veloping a new grove planted from known, disease-resistant, standard varieties. Farmers Bulletin No. zoo, which scan b. secured from the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington. D. C.. discusses at length the top-working of pecan trees. The work can be done by anyone who uses care and good Judg- ment.

By MRS. JOHN c.

If the hen is properly fed, Ii the nests are clean, if the eggs are gathered twice daily. stored in cool, |iry room or cellar and delivered to the tity consumer in prime condition, the con- Sumer grins appreciation as he break lasts on shirred eggs of matchless market duality.
 On the other hand, if the roosters arc allowed to run with the flock after the matching season, if the hens are not prop 4rIy and regularly fed, if the nests are dirty and crowded, if the eggs are gath ared only once every other day. and II thereafter the eggs are stored in warm, itl-ventilated quarters, and if marketing is deferred until enough eggs have col lected to fill a crate, the city consumer usually grunts disgust and shouts for a Aas mask when the eggs appear opposite h in, at tba "a be

E If you use a freless cooker, you will save time, for the food can be cooking while you are doing some other work about the house.
 If you use a fireess cooker, you will be able to serve better food. Many foods cooked at low temperature for a long time have much better flavor, and breakfast cereals so cooked are often con- sidered more wholesome.
 If you use a fire1ess cooker you will save fuel and your kitchen will be a much more comfortable place in which to work, especially in hot weather
 MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
 These materials plus few hours work plus ordinary common sense will produce the fireless cooker you want and need in your kitchen:
 One tightly built wooden box or lard frkin, large enough to allow at least four inches packing around the "well'' or inside pai1-10 to 15 cents.
 One metal pail without handles and with tight-ftting cover. Cover preferably fits inside pail If tin is used care must be taken to avoid rusting--50 cents to $l.
 Excelsior, crumpled newspaper, sawdust, ground cork-no cost
 Asbestos paper, one-eighth inch thick ness-60 to S5 cents.
 Cardboard collar-no cost
 Plaster paris or asbestos collar-10 cents.
 White paint-10 cents.
 Round pillow" of old cotton material and excelsior made to fit Snugly ln the top-no cost.
 Two soapstones to fit into pail or we'll $1 to $1.20.
 Button hook to lift soapstones-no cost Total cost of material-$2. 20 to s. 40. To make the use of the fireless cooker easier there are some additional con veniences which may be used if you SC desire. The duplicate or triplicate kettles purchased to fit the we'll of your cooker are not absolutely necessary if you owr otker pans which fit, but they are nlucf more convenient and aid in making tht cooker more efficient. If it is necessary that the cooker bt moved, castors will make this easily done.
 The following directions for making z cooker are given by the states relations service, United States Department of Az riculture.

The Country Boys Creed

believe that the country which Goo made is more beautiful than the city Which man made; that life out-of-ooors and in touch with the earth IS the nat I,ral life of man. I believe that work is work wherever we find it, but that Work with nature is more inspiring than work with the most intricate machinery. believe that the dignity of labor depends not on what you do, but on how you do it: that opportunity comes to noy on the farm as often as to boy In the city, that life is larger ana ireer sl. ana 1,a ynier on the farm than in town, enat my success depends not upon my locNlon but upon myself-not upon my dreams but upon what I actually do, not upon luck, but upon pluck. I believe in work- inr when you work and ip playing when you play and in giving and demanding souaIe deal in every act Of lie.

recommend the division Of the hen yard into two lots.@so that sreenstuff may be grown on one side while the other patch is being gpa zed As soon as the green feed is two to three inches high the hens may be turned on it, while the other lot may be spaded up and sown again. This plan provides plellty of green feed throughout the year forlthe average back yard flock.
 It is a practice of sone poultrymen and farmers to maintain old hens in the flock and to cull the younger hens and bullets because of the difficulty in distinguish ing between the birds after the bullets have matured. Farmers should avoid such confusion by marking the young chicks in the web of the foot with toe punch before they are transferred to the brooder or the brood coop. A sNstem such as the following offers practical means Of ldent- fication for chickens: i
 Tie birds without arly holes punched in the web of either foot should be known as No. 1; No. Has punch mark in the right half of the right foot; No. 5 bears mark in the left half of the right foot: No. shows a mark in the right side of the left foot; No! similar mark in the left half of the left foot; No. 6 bears marks in both sides of the right ,fooot. while No 2 carries similar marks in both sides of the left! foot Bird No. $
 is identified by a mark Tn the leIt Slue of the right foot and another on the right side of the left foot, while No. 3 is known by a mark in the right side of the right foot and the left side of the left foot; NO 10 shows a mark in tho left side or the right foot and the left side of the left foot while No. Il is marked on the right side of the right foot and the left side of the right foot.
 This system of marking may be con- tirued indefinitely according to the ln- genuity of the individual poultryman in ma pping out a footprint schedule. It pro- vides means of Identification for fowl as efficient as the Bertillons system of finger print records of criminals.
 HAPPENING DUCKS
 Ducklings to be marketed should be fat tened for two weeks before killing on a ration made of three parts, by weight, of cornmeal, two parts of middlings, one part of bran, one-half part of beef scraps, with per cent grit and no per cent green food added to this mash, or mash ot three parts cornmeal, ore part low-grade wheat flour, one part bran, one-quartei part beef scraps with the green feed ana grit, and 3 per cent oyster shell added Feed this mash three times daily, giving all the ducklings will clean up in halt hour. The green feed is sometimes left out of the ration during the last seven days of fattening, as it tends to color , the meat and may produce a slightly flao- by rather than firm flesh. However, 1t l is easier to keep the dllcklings in good feeding condition on mash containing green feed.

BAD EGGS RENEWABLE

Bad eggs are not the result of accident: they are examples of neglect, slovenly management and shiftlessness. It IS Just ds easy to produce and market good qual- ity eggs as it is to offend consumers with stale, fertile eggs. Farmers lose Approximately S50Oo0,000 a year from bad methods of producing and handling eggs. One-third of this loss is preventable, be- dause it is due to partial matching of fertile eggs which have been allowed tp become warm enough to begin to incu- tate
 The rooster makes the egg fertile while the fertilized egg produces the blood ring which is the partial development of the chick The rooster does not increase egg production; he merely fertilizes the germ df the egg, and hence he should be al- lowed to run with the flock only dur ing the matching season. After the hatch ing season is over the male birds should lie confined, killed or sold.
 HEAT THE ENEMY OF EGGS
 Summer heat has the same effect on fertile eggs as the hen or incubator. The fertile germ in hot weather quickly de- velops into blood ring which spells the esg for food or market purposes. Heat i$ the great enemy of eggs, both 1eftlie and infertile On this account specialists urge poultry producers in warm weather tb keep nests clean ana to proeiue oiio nest for every four fowls, in order that the nests will not be used too often and sbil the eggs to gather the eggs twice daily; to keep the eggs in cool, dry room or cellar; to market the eggs at ldast twice a week. and to pen or dispose ot all roosters as soon as the hatcning s&ason is over.
 Hens isolated on range and pasture fHom the male birds produce infertile eggs ot desirable market quality. In general. about two weeks after the roosters are removed from the flock the hens Will again yield infertile eggs. Occasionally hfns running with male birds produce in- fertile eggs, but as rule this results fHom the fowls being confined too closely. being overfat or not having access to enough green feed.
