GIVE PRODUCE BETTER CARE
More Attention Should Be Given to
Quality and Methods Of Packing
and Shipping.

With the present condition Of heavy
production Of almost every farm COM
modify aud high freight rates. the bu-
reau Of markets Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture advises
that greater care than ever should be
exercised AZ to the quality Of produce
shipped BY rail to markets and the
method Of packing and loading. Where
fruit or vegetables are of inferior
grade or quality in any respect, the
farmer will do well to market near
by, within the truck radius, or store
for home consumption.
After the stock gets to a distant
market the shipper is given protection
by the inspection service furnished by
the department at about 18O principal
receiving points Of the United States.
This service costs $3.50 for a half
carload or less and "a for full car
load. It enables the shipper to learn
the exact condition In which his pro-
dyce reached the consignee by giving
the exact nature Of the decay or 9TH
Ter defects, and gives him information
In regard to the best method of mar
keting each particular lot Of produce.

SOAP SUBSTITUTES FAVORED
soapbar,s, Starch Water or Bran Wa.
ter Are Not Likely 70 lnjure
Delicate coiors.

When the action Of soap is likely to
injure a delicate color, use soapbark,
starch water. or bran water, advise
home economics specialists of the UNI
ted States Department Of Agriculture.
Soapbark, although not soap. when
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare 1t for use, boil for 10 minutes
a cup Of the bark with quart Of
water; then cool and strain the liquid.
The "soapy" water may be. used full
strength for sponging, or diluted for
washing; half of this amount il
enough for one-half tubful Of water.
Since the liquid is brownish, 1t should
be used only on dark-colored goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
ia usually made by adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water in
which rice has been boiled, II 1t IL
not discolored, may be used instead.
II 1t Is not desirable to have the ma
terial starched slightly. 1t must be
rinsed In salt water
Bran water, made In the same way
as soapbark solution, Is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. 1t does
not give suds, but cleans like starch
water.

War Made Smokers.

A French economist told me that the
war had added 100000 to the list
Of the smokers In his country, says L.
8. Hirtland in Leslie's. Almost every
soldier eventually smoked. Smoking
had q solace all its own to ease the
terrific tedium Of the trenches; and
In times of crisis 1t acted in Its own
subtle way as an anchor toward calm
ness. Often In France there were to-
bacco crises-and terrible memories
they are.
In southern Poland, any one possess
ing package Of cigarettes rented q

can Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries in Krakow
discovered that he could outclass and
overlive the aristocracies of the pal

Than Earning It.
An May Not Have Ability 70 Acquire
Wealth, but Few Cannot Save
Part Of Earnlnos.

A story was related in the Journal
recently which illustrates the cumu-
lative value Of thrift. A woman died
in an eastern city leaving fortune
said to be close to 100000. q large
part Of which was made from small
fruit stand.
In the accounts Of her death 1t was
stated that she was not a miser, but
she was noted for her benencent deeds
In the community In which she lived.
She was liberal and thoughtful in her
attitude toward those Of her neigh
bors who were In poor circumstances.
but through the years Of her Life she
was careful to save the profits from
her small business. She eliminated
waste a. much a. possible. She
watched the little things. stopped the
little leaks and knew the worth Of
making every penny count.
One Of the great nnanciers of the
world once said that 1t required much
boldness and caution to make q great
fortune, but that when you got 1t 1t
required ten times greater wit to keep
1t. 1t II not every one who can be-
come q successful money-maker. The
ability to acquire wealth 10 q knack,
but It requires no special aptitude to
learn to save money, and 1t is more
important to save money than 1t is to
earn 1t.
It requires will-power and moral
stamina to practice thrift. for. no mat

our temptations are always Of csrre-
spending magnitude. Those who can

will find themselves unable to do 50
If their incomes become large, for the
principle is the same, whether great
sums or small ones are involved.
The foundations Of most Of the solid
fortunes In America today were laid
through the practices Of thrift. Wealth
gained too quickly or too easily sell
dom lasts; so that, from the stand
point of material riches, thrift Is nee
essary for permanency and stability.
No man can afford not to be thrifty,
whether he be wealthy or poor. 1t Is
within the power Of every one to save
money, even though the amount may
be small. These practices will not
bring a guarantee Of wealth, but they
will assure at least modest success

liminary survey made BY competent
local people or by experienced coop

the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, whose advice and services

ing such survey care should be taken
to ascertain the need for an organiza-

To meet the situation the manufac-
turers are building many sizes Of
trucks, from a half-ton to ten-ton ca
pacity.
One of the units now In great de-
mand Is the four-ton truck, which is
being widely used in many lines Of
business.
The four-ton truck Is especially
adapted to stake body work; that is.
the carrying Of boxed, Grated or barrel
goods Not only is 1t a prompt and
reliable carrier for this class Of
freight, but 1t also is economical.
Compared with horses, 1t IL far su-
perior in every way, both as to mile

In times such as these the trnck
purchaser should study his situation
most carefully and employ expert ad-
vice whenever possible. Many d man
who buys q five-ton truck should real
ly operate a four, and the same with
many buyers Of three-ton vehicles. A
close study Of delivery problems will
prove to many a business man that he
ought to be operating a truck Of diff
ferent size than that which he is
using. Get the truck to at the Job.

How the Canning 10 Done.
To prepare the bird for canning. It
should be carefully picked and all pin
feathers removed: It should be then
sipsed and washed in water in which
. small amount Of baking soda has
been dissolved. Remove the entrails.
cut the meat into pieces a. for fry
ing. and carefully wash each piece In
cold water. The giblets and excess In
testinal fat should not be put into the
Jars. The chicken may be partially
cooked before being placed In the
jar. being either Drowned In fat or
stewed, but the best results have been
obtained when the uncooked chicken
was packed Into the Jars. Tho 3ars
may be flled with hot water or broth,
or the meat may be canned without
the addition Of liquid. The best prod
uct has resulted when no liquid or
only q small quantity (about table,
spoons to q pint jar) was added. The
meat In Jars To which no liquid was
added has kept AZ well as that in jars
filled With liquid, and has possessed q
superior flavor. The following method
Is, therefore, recommended by the
Experimental Kitchen.
Pack the pieces into pint Jars. A.
much as a pound Of chicken can often
be packed into pint jar. Two chick
ems weighing, before dressed. little
over pounds each, when cut up for
canning will fill I've pint Jars. For
example. jar may contain a thigh.
leg. hlet Of breast. and saddle; jar 2.
a neck, wing. leg, fillet Of breast, and
two wish bones; jar 8, q saddle. neck.
thigh. and flllet Of breast: jar 4.
wing, leg, thigh, and breast bone; jar
5, hllet Of breast, thigh, 2 wings. and
a leg. When the meat has been pack
ed into the jar. add a half teaspoon
of salt to each, partially seal. and
process.
II q water-bath outfit is used fosl
the processing, set the Jars on rack
IN the bottom of wash boiler with
sufficient water to come 2 inches
above their tops. Process pint Jars
continuously for six hours after the
water begins to boil. Seal the Jars
quickly upon removing from the boil
er, or If glass-topped Jars fastened
by spring are used, force the spring
into position while the Jars are still
immersed. After sealing invert the
Jars to test for leaks while cooling.
Reduces Time Of Process.
II a steam-pressure cooker is used
the length Of time can be greatly re-
duced. Fifteen pounds' pressure for
one hour has been found safe and
satisfactory period.
Chicken canned In either the water
bath or pressure cooker Is desirable
product. comparing very favorably
with fresh chicken when used for
chicken salad, creamed chicken, chick
en- stew. chicken pie. or for scalloped
or baked dishes.
The chicken In q pint jar is sum-
cient to serve six persons when the
meat is prepared in any Of the ways
mentioned.

Az the habits and conditions of indi-

IN which there is the least waste, and
by utilizing more carefully than is

that the real cheappess or dearness
Of a food material depends not only
