The poet who said "What's in a
name?" evidently had no idea that, in
so far as the important matter of food
is concerned, prejudice could be
aroused to such point as to cause a
mental aversion to, if not a positive
condemnation of, really delectable
article of diet. Take the case of the
Chinese cabbage for example. In
stinctively the gourmet shudders at the
attempt to associate that name with a
delicacy. Call it petsai-the Chinese
name for it-and most probably his
prejudice will change to desire; he
will try it, like it.
Petsai was introduced by the United
States department of agriculture from
China. 1t is now grown in consider
able quantities in Illinois, New Jersey,
California and other sections.

gle who have eaten petsai is all in It's

FEEDING CATTLE IN WINTER
Careful Estimate of Silage on Hand
Should Be Made and Prepare for
Any Shortage.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agricultural
Before starting to feed silage to beef
cattle this winter, careful estimate
of the total amount on hand should be
made, as it is not a good practice to
feed silage in such a way as to ex.
haust the supply and be compelled to
feed dry roughage following the silage
before turning to pasture in the spring.
If shortage is anticipated there are
two ways to meet the situation-ei-
Their feed dry roughages altogether for
time at the beginning and keep the
silage until the latter part of the feed
ing period, or feed a small amount of
silage with other roughage throughout
the winter.
Sufficient silage and other roughages
should be provided so as to begin feed
ing the cattle by the LIST of January
at least, and to last until the LIST to
the 18th of April. This later date is
suggested so as to keep the animals
off the grass in the spring and protect
the pasture as long as possible. Best
results from feeding silage are obtain
ed when some dry roughage is fed
along with it. Unless legume hays are
used a small amount of coftonseed
meal, one-half to one pound, should be
used,

Capt. Edward Beck of South Bend,

day, to test the hardness of this fell

of a building dropped some mortar
on it. The fellow never moved; in.

In feeding hogs for the market, as
also with any other class of meat ami
mails, larger returns are obtained when
the stock is as nearly uniform as posi-
BILE, and as it is very profitable for
each farmer to breed his own feeders,
particular attention should be given to
the selection of the original breeding
stock. Uniformity is of primary i'm
portance, for to have a uniform crop
of pigs there must be uniformity in the
breeding herd, and to obtain this must
be one of the first considerations in
selecting the original herd.
: Selection of Sows.
The females of the herd may be OBJ

gifts safely in pig to boar of recog-

to obtain SOW which has shown her.
self to be good breeder by the pre-
vious filters she has produced, it is adj
visable for economys sake to purchase
bred gifts. These should be about u
months old, being bred after the age
of eight months, and if possible all
should be in pig to the same boar.
Here is the first opportunity to prac-
tice selection for uniformity; wheth-
er pure-bred or not, the sows should
be similar in color, marking, type and
conformation. The type of the sows
selected Should he tho ono which tho
market demands. While there is some
variation between the different breeds,
it is largely matter of characteristics,
as good individual, no matter what
breed it represents, if properly fed
and managed well will make economi-
cal gains.
If possible, the first purchase of sows
should be made from one herd, for in
this manner it is easier to get uniform

Marine WORKERS
STRIKE NOT SETTLED
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. July 15.-The de-
mands of striking marine workers
at this and other Atlantic ports for
union recognition to-day continued to
be the principal stumbling block In
the way Of settlement Of the walkout.
which late yesterday affected vessels
operated by the United States ship
ping board. The spread of the strike
to the government controlled boats
resulted from a refusal Of shipping
board officials to grant the seamen's 8
demands for three shifts of eight
hours at sea and preference to union
members.
Further efforts to end the strike
were made to-day, but union leaders
predicted that unless the mems de-
mands were met in full there was
little change for an agreement.
Oscar Carlson, secretary Of the
fireman's organization, and spokesman
for the union officials estimated that
400 ships were tied up in this port
and that $4,000 men were out here.
He predicted that the strike would
become general within three days at
all Atlantic ports.

CITY FACES ICE
SHORTAGE; PLEA
IS CONSERVATION
Supply Not Sufficient for Lo-
cal Needs-Little Ice in
Storage.

With no reserve supply, and the fac
tories OF the city unable to meet de-
mands, Richmond is facing q serious
ice famine, according to local dealers.
The spring reserve of $50 tons has
been exhausted by the unusual de-
mands during the recent heat wave,
and at present the factories are only
manufacturing from 80 to 60 tons Of
ice day to meet the citys demands,
which averages Is tons daily.
The plant Of Otto Rettig, which has
been supplying about 20 tons Of ice
daily, has been completely out OF
operation for the last week, and will
probably not be able to start the man
ufacture Of ice for another week. This
plant was damaged by q storm about
week ago, and on account OF the
extremely warm weather. it has been
impossible to start manufacture again.
Cannot Supply Richmond
Last week supply Of shipped ice
was obtained from plants in Conners-
vile, Shelbyville and Columbus In.
diana. but these manufacturers have
sent word to local dealers that they
cannot guarantee any deliveries for
this week. and the city may be forced
into a famine.
Dealers have asked the cooperation
Of citizens, during the shortage, to
care for the small supply, and are de-
livering ice only where 1t is found
to be absolutely necessary.
THE men who handle my ice to tho
retail trade. are supplying only those
business houses that are absolutely
dependent on ice, such as dairies. meat
markets and the like, and only to such
private families that have babies or
people who are ILL.," Otto Rettig. mar
ager Of the Rettig Ice company. said
Tuesday.
This year has been an unusual one
for ice consumption, not only in Rich
mond, but throughout the state, &C.
cording to dealers. The usual crop
Of natural ice. which heretofore has
been used by smaller towns around
Richmond, was not harvested last
winter, and as a result, these towns
have been more or less depending on
the local artificial plants for their
ice.
Supplies Conserved.
Numerous calls have been made
from other nearby towns. but these
have been refused. Only one plant in
the city Is now manufacturing enough
Ice for its trade, and others are de-
pending on shipments to meet the
demands of their customers.
Although there has been no in
crease in the price Of retail ice in
Richmond, this step may become nee
essary If the present shortage con-
tinues. Manufacturers who are now
supplying shipped ice are forced to
pay as high as 50 ton at point Of
shipment, and stand the loss through
shrinkage. This Is an average Of
81 more than the ice costs tho con-
sumer, they claim. and unless the
present shortage can be overcome by
the manufacturers Of ice here, the
increase may become necessary, they
say.
According to Rettig, who has been
in the ice business for the last %
years, this Is the first time that the
local supply has not been sufficient to
meet the demands.
