The farmers in my section have
given SO little attention to cattle
raising and dairy products that We

children are said to be unhealthy
because they get so little milk to

think the lack of milk and butter in
this section grows out of the neg
lect to raise COW feed, and when
cool weather approaches then they
drive all their cattle except, maybe,
one milk cow, to town and sell them
for beef at any price the butcher
may offer. Wintering cattle in Geor-
gia should not be a difficult prob
lem. There are but few days in
ees wear that cattle can not browse
out of doors, and find some pickings
in pasture fields.
1t seems to me to be suicidal to
kill off the cattle surplus when the
manure is so valuable and so much
better than fertilizers that must be
put on every year, and bought at
tremendous prices from guano deal
ers. The scarcity of milk and but

Some Canning Questions Answered

Some Canning Questions Answered
[ am delighted to learn from
the letters written to me, that
50 many people are canning corn.
1t really takes no more care than
tomatoes or beans. The only differ
ence lies in the fact that corn must
he done quickly, the others are
better if canned as soon as gathered
but corn must be handled in at
least two hours after it is gathered
to be first-class when one needs
it.
Select corn of nearly uniform
size and proper ripeness. 1t it is
too ripe it will color while proc
essing and if not ripe enough
much of the food value will be lost.
OF course, the first thing is 10
remove the shucks, silk and defec-
tive places, break off the ends, then
blanch in boiling water not more
than five minutes unless the grains
are large and you've a good idea
that the corn is not boiled through

five to ten minutes. [ know a WOm-
an who uses Hickory King and says
seven or eight minutes is right, one

five minutes is plenty. The ripe

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1919-10-03

ANSWER: If he has been so
faithful, it is reasonable to sup
pose that he does care for you.
Perhaps he has some good rea-
son for waiting to tell you that
he loves you, and wants you for
mis- wife. And when he does say
that, if you really love him,
there'll be no necessity for an
outsider providing words for
you-your own heart will die

These figures make a good showing
when certain facts are taken into CON
sideration. For several months en-
istments were limited to 10 men
weekly. During the past three months
enlistments were suspended and men
were inducted into the Navy through
their local boards, no record being
kept of these inductions at the Re-
cruiting Station.
The comparatively large number
of recruits obtained for the Navy
from Mississippi is considered re-
