PURE-BRED SIRE ESSENTIAL

Little Chance for Sale II Stock

When buyers Of breeding cattle

questions they ask Of the prospective
seller Is, "Does he use pure-bred

tion depends the farmers opportunity

county agent reports that approx

scys and 90 of grades Of the same
breed were shipped from the county
last year. During the same period 20
cars of pure-bred Holsteins and 70 Of

success which owners OF pure-bred
sires have attained an effort Is being
made to clear the county of scrubs.

France Building Long Canal.

Notwithstanding the war, the largest

object being to give Marseilles connec-

waterway for barkes. The entire prof.

Dor and the Mediterranean to the
River Rhone. The Rhone's upper
stretches are placid. and already are
used extensively for barge navigation.
but near Mnrseilles the stream is far
too turbulent for commerce. A range
Of hills had prevented the construc-

with France energized by the war
and with the necessity for the canal
emphasized thereby. the tunnel Is be-
ing cut and the canal will soon be
opened. The work was begun In 1911

HAS MANY VALUES
Yuca One Of the Most Priced OF
Earth's Productions.
Important Article Of Diet Among
South American Indians Should
Find Ready Apprecia- !
tlon Here.

II the war had lasted much longer
no doubt we would have been using
real Indian -four by now-fiOur made
from the yuca. or manioc or cassava
plant--a tropical shrub which grows
to height of six feet. Herbert j.
Spinden Of the staff of the American
Museum of Natural History, who has
spent much time In Central and South
America, recently described the yuca
and Its value as food.
Manloc -four, he said Is made from
the root OF the manioc. II is probably
the principal food of the Indians OF
the wet lowlands of South America,
and Is also much used In the West In
dies. Two species of manioc arc
known, Of which one contains hydro
cyanic acid. poisonous juice which
has to be extracted by a special proc
ess, while the other Is non-poisonoua.
This latter variety Is. however, gen.
orally considered to furnish an infe-
rior meal, and Is used chiefly as q
fresh vegetable.
In making manioc -four the very
Juicy roots of the plant. which some
what resemble sweet potatoes In
shape, are grated according to Italian
fashion on board set with rock crys
tails. The grated meal must then be
subjected to high pressure In order to
drive Off the poisonous juice. The
Indians accomplish this by stuffing the
meal into basket tube, which Is then
stretched out so that It's volume is de-
creased. Really tremendous pressure
is exerted by this simple machine.
The poisonous fluid is drained through
the basket-work into pottery vesseiz
The meal Is then taken out Of the
tube and used chiefly for making thin

ing on griddles. These cakes will
last for a long time and are coDsid-
cred excellent food.
But II is the general utility Of this
plant that would truly delight Mr..
Hoover's heart. For besides the -four.
the plant yields an excellent starch. Q
condlment, and tapioca-the last
named being the principal article Of
commerce derived from the yuca.
The starch Is contained In the pol
sonous juice which is extracted from
the meal. The starch is allowed to
settle in the fluid, which Is then poured
off. In certain places, the manloe
meal Is not subjected to pressure, but
is thoroughly stirred In water In or
der to extract the largest possible
amount Of starch. Manioc starch.
which commands higher price In the
tropics than corn starch. Is generally
regarded as Of the highest quality
After the extraction OF the starch, the
juice of the yucca Is subjected to heat
sufficient to destroy the poison In II
1t Is then used as condiment (cassa-
reep). This extract, which has q
sharp. peppery quality. has consider
able commercial value and serves NJ
base for certain table sauces and
for the soup known as Philadelphia
pepper pot. Tapioca Is obtained By
heating the starch while It Is moist.

low, odorless, sirupy liquid. II is dilut-
ed In the proportion of l part of sill
cate to 8 parts of distilled water, rain
water, or other 1ater. In any case.
the water should be boiled and then
allowed to cool. Half fill the vessel
with this solution and place the eggs In
1t, being careful not to crack them.
Eggs can be added until the container
Is filled. BE sure to keep about 2 inches
of water glass above the eggs. Cover
the crock, and place IL In the coolest
place available from which the crock
will not have to be moved. Inspect the
crock from time to time and replace
any water that has evaporated with
cool boiled water.
Use Preserved Eggs.
When the eggs are to be used, re-
move them as desired, rinse In clean,
cold water. and use Immediately.
Eggs preserved In water glass can
be used for soft boiling or poaching up
to November. Before boiling such eggs
prick tiny hole in the large end of
the shell with needle, to keep them
from cracking. They are satisfactory
for frying until about December.
From that time until the end Of the
usual storage period-that is, until
March-they can be used for omel-
cites. scrambled eggs, custards. cakes,
and general cookery. As the eggs age.
the white becomes thinner and Is
harder to beat. The yoke membrane
becomes more delicate and It is corre-
spondingly difficult to separate the
whites from the yolks.

Limewater is also satisfactory for
preserving eggs and Is slightly less ex-
pensive than water glass. A solution
Is made by placing or pounds Of
unslaked lime in gallons of water
which has been boiled and allowed to
cool. and allowing the mixture to stand
until the lime settles and the liquid Is
clear. The eggs should be placed In
clean earthenware jar or other suitable
vessel and covered to a depth Of 2
inches with the liquid. Remove the
eggs as desired, rinse In clean, cold
water. and use Immediately.

April, May and June are the months
when the hens of the country produce
about 80 per cent of the lay of the
whole year. These are the months,
also, when the thrifty housewife who
has her own hens or who can draw
upon the surplus supply of a nearby
neighbor puts away in water glass or
limewater eggs for next autumn and
winter. 70 insure success, care must
be exercised In this operation.
In the first place, the eggs must be
fresh, preferably not more than two
or three days old. This is the reason
why 1t is much more satisfactory to
put away eggs produced in ones own
chicken yard.
InfertiIe Eggs Best.
Infertile eggs are best If they can
be obtained; so, after the Matching,
exclude roosters from the flock and
kill them for the table as needed.
The shells must be clean. Washing
an egg with soiled shell lessons its
keeping quality. The protective gela-
tinous covering over the shell Is re-
moved by water, and when this Is gone
the egg spoils more rapidly.
The shells also must be free from
even the tiniest crack. One cracked
egg will spoil large number of sound
eggs when packed In water glass.
Earthenware crooks are good con-
tainers. The crooks must he clean and
sound. Scald them and let them cool
completely before use. A crock hold
ing 9 gallons will accommodate 18
dozens Of eggs and about % pints of
solution. Too large crooks are not de-
sirable, since they increase the lin-
bility Of breaking some Of the eggs
and spelling the entire batch.
1t must be remembered that the eggs
on the bottom crack first and that
those In the bottom Of the crooks are
the last to be removed for use. Eggs
can he put up in smaller crooks and
she eggs put in the crock first should
be used first In the household.

Warnings to farmers against the
European corn horer and the cucumber
beetle were issued today by the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture.
These pests. it is said, are doing much
damage to certain crops in this state.
While the beetle can easily be held
in check by sprinkling the small GU e
cumber vines with Bordeaux mixture
and arsenate of lead. the corn borer,
once established, is difficult to be rid Of
1t attacks not only corn but also pota =
toes, tomatoes, beets. turnips. celery,
Swiss chard. beans, spinach. oats.
timothy, dahlias, chrysanthemums,
geraniums and gladiolus.
The pest winters as a smooth cater
pillar in cornstalks and large plants,
including weeds. In May it changes to
a pupa, soon emerges as a moth, which
LAYS as many as 700 eggs The cater
pillars Matching from these eggs feed
on early corn and other plants, complete
their growth and pulpate.
Complete destruction of infested
plants in the winter or spring is the
only way to Danish the pest Corn
stalks and other infected plants should
be pulled up and burned.
