CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on a given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units of energy
produced per acre, and is ahead
Of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass
all other crops, showing nearly
twice as much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank SEQ
ond in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most eff
cient of farm animals in the pro-
duction of human food (milk)
and the hog is the most efficient
in the conversion Of grain into
meat, producing five times as
much per acre Of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers

From an Acre Of Staple Farm
Products" which gives an acre.

quests for them by the score are re-
'ceived from town women who have
seen them in neighbors' homes.
These are not all the publications Of
the department. During the war a
number Of circulars and pamphlets
having a direct bearing on winning
the struggle are being issued. Then
there are the professional bulletins,
dealing in less popular form with re-
searches into the science of agricul-
ture. In addition there are several
Cerial publications and the annual re-
ports and other congressional publica-
tions, including the department year
book and reports of soil surveys.
The policy of reducing in size and
making more readable has been ex-
tended through all these classes.
Lists of available bulletins, from
which selections can be made, will be
sent to interested persons on request
to the department.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
REDUCING Fire Dancer.

The fire hazard should be considered
in the location and construction Of all
new farm buildings. Many groups Of
farm buildings are so-located and con-
structed that any fire which might
break out In one building would be
almost sure to destroy the whole
group. When a new building is to be
erected 1t is worth while at least to
consider placing it where it will be
reasonably safe from fire starting IN
any other building and where it will
not be menace to other buildings.
Concrete construction is being used
on many farms, and it is especially
desirable for smokehouses, incubator
rooms. and any other small buildings
which are exceptionally subject to loss
by fire. The first cost Of WELDON
structed concrete building generally
will be greater than that Of a wood
building Of the same size, but the con-
crete will last practically forever, and
will seldom need paint or repairs.
A fire in such a building can do but
slight damage to the building itself,
and there is very little likelihood d
its spreading to any Of the adjoining
buildings.

An old enemy 10 With % again, and
whether we fight German or . germ, ws
must put up good fight, and not b afraid.
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and If We keen
the system in good condition and throw
of the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's-a clean
mouth. q clean akin, and clean bowels.
To carry of poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of q
pleasant laxative should DO taken. Such
one is made Of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called Dr.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after . hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis OIL
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
we've first discovered by DR.. Pierce. and,
o they flush the bladder and cleanse the,
kidneys, they carry away much Of the poi.1
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, butt
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in.I
crease the vital resistance. The fever is'
diminished by the use Of the Anuric tab
lets, but in addition, the forehead, arms

reason that IL the water is too hot
and the hair sets it can be removed
easier from the rear than from the
fore part Of the hog. The hog should
be kept moving II the water to be
sure that no part will rest against the
side Of the barrel. Occasionally the
hog should be drawn out Of the wa
ter to air, when the hair may be
''tried." When the hair and scurf
slip easily from the surface, scalding
is complete. Pull the hog out upon
the table and remove the hair and
scurf from the legs and feet at once.
The simplest way to accomplish this
is to twist the legs in both hands
Use the hog hook to remove the dew
claws at the same time.
Cut the skin about three or four
inches long just below the hooks in
both hind legs. Loosen the tendons
and insert the gambrel. Be sure that
both tendons in each leg are loosened
before inserting the gambrel. Now
scald the front part Of the hog. After
the front part Of the hog is scalded
pull 1t out on the table as before. Re-
move the hair and scurf from the
ears. forelegs and head Immediately,
as these parts cool very quickly. Use
the bell-shaped scraper to remove the
remaining hair and scurf. II the hair
fails to yield in any particular region
cover that portion with a gunny sack
and pour on hot water. When most
Of the hair and scurf is removed pour
hot water over the entire carcass and
shave of, by means Of knife, the
hair that Is left. Hang up the hog
and pour a bucketfnl of cold water
over the carcass and scrape from the
surface the remaining dirt or scurf.
Remove Leaf Lard.
The entrails should then be re-
moved. Furthermore while the car.
cass is still warm remove the leaf
lard or kidney fat, as this facilitates
the cooling Of the carcass and lessons
the danger Of the hams and loins

when there is chance for cooling the

The desirable temperature for cooling

summer time 1t is necessary to have
