in the Canaan Cow-Testing Associa- ton for November, we find two owned by Gus Carlson of Canaan Valley, and in the December report we find he has six while the tester tells us only eight have freshened since fall and only 12 are being milked. The January report includes five, (February report not received) and the March report includes six.
 This herd was raised by E. J. Don- aids from start with four grades and by the use of good pure bred bull. His neighbors say he has used pure bred bull for about fifteen years, having the honor of owning the first one in the neighborhood.

of his ground that he offered to guarantee Smithfield 22 cents, and on his personal responsibility paid the farmer the money in advance $32.62.
 About a week later the county agent met Smithfeld and suggested that they settle up the chicken deal. "Well, how did it come out?" in- quired Farmer Smithfeld. I lost $5', said the county agent, "and, of course, you are going to share it with me-" "No, sir," said Smith field, "it turned out exactly as I thought it would, and I am under no obligations to bear any of the loss. "Well," said the county agent, "I just wanted to see how you felt about it. Here is the check, $42.21,

Potato Equivalents"

With potatoes scarce and high in price, the housekeeper may stretch her potato money. through the occa- sional use of rice or macaroni as po- tato equivalents. The following amounts of these foods have the same food value:
 1 boiled potato, medium size
 3-4 cup steamed rice
 1 cup boiled macaroni
 Each of these contain a large pro- portion of starch and small amount of protein, but very little fat. As it is familiar custom to serve meat and potatoes, so in using potato equivalents we may add meat or fat in some form such as bacon, cheese, etc., in order to serve them as the hearty dish of 8 meal. Here are some recipes prepared by Maud E. Hayes of the Extension Service of Connecticut Agricultural College al Storrs, which the housekeeper will find useful in her search for some thing to serve instead of potatoes.
 CHEESE AND RICE
 Reheat one cup of steamed ol boiled rice. Take any odds and ends of dry cheese too small to grate, and melt them in the oven, seasoning with salt, pepper and a little mixed mustard. Turn the rice out on hot platter. Place three or four poache6 eggs on top and pour the melted cheese over the eggs.
 SAUSAGE AND RICE CAKES
 To one cup of cooked rice, either warm or cold, add one egg unbeater and two tablespoons of cold friec sausage. Mix we'll together, form into | flat cakes. If the mixture is very soft add a little more rice. Browr lightly in drippings, being careful tC have the fat we'll heated before add | ing the cakes. This amount vii make six medium sized cakes.
 MACARONI WITH SMOKED BEEF
 Cook half cup of smoked beef 1T one tablespoon of hot butter or ba con fat, two or three minutes Dredge with flour. Add a cup o1 milk, and stir often until it thickens Add to this one and one half cups of cold macaroni. Cook together until we'll heated. Serve on butter l ed hot toast.
 i MACARONI WITH HAM
 To cups of boiled macaroni ado 4 tablespoons of grated cheese, anc enough cream or milk to moisten Heat over hot water, and when ho mix in lightly with fork one cup o- chopped cooked ham, that has beer moistened with tablespoons of mus tard sauce.

which is $9.59 more than I paid you. I got 28 cents a pound for those chickens instead of 22 cents. "
 Now, to follow the sequence of MT. Webster's story, we would have to make Farmer Johnsonius Smithfield demand the turning over of that $9.59. to him; but it didn't come out that way. The county agent offered to do exactly that thing, but Farmer Smithfield said, "I won't have it that way; you keep half the profit and I'll take half. You have taught me a lesson that will be worth great deal more than that to me and my neighbors whenever the local deal CTS refuse to pay us what our pro- duce is worth"
 That is not an imaginary story. The United States Department of Agriculture vouches for it and backs it up with the records of the Office of Extension Work in the South.

ed in her kitchen this spring. Her sink has also been moved to a more convenient place and adjusted to her height. The encouragement of her kitchen saves a great many steps in 1 doing the days work, while the value of running hot water as labor saving equipment can hardly be over esti- mated.
 Farmers in Canaan Valley and vicinity are taking steps toward or ganizing cooperative buying asso- ciaton. Such an association will [ make it possible to unload at a near by siding and thus save a long haul from Canaan. Also a car-door-c cash basis must save few dollars per ton. E# Paul Farrand of Washington has recently helped two Roxbury far mers and one Morris farmer to change from the ranks of owners of grade bulls to the owners of pure bred bulls. "Let your animals march with the pure breds". --... Five farmers in Canaan Valley have purchased pure bred bull calves from E. O. Wright of Goshen in the last eighteen months. They were purchased as a result of the Farm Tour held a year ago last summer when the first one was purchased. One good one always sells another. The Woman's Committee of the Department of Justice recommends the following recipe for: Canning Rhub.rb Without Sugar
 Sterilize cans by boiling in water | twenty minutes. Let cans cool. Gut 1 up rhubarb, leaving skin on. Place in cans. Hold can under cold water faucet, letting water run into can for one or two minutes, until all air has been expelled from the can, be- ing sure that there are no air bubbles left in can when you screw tops on tight, using new rubbers. When ready to use rhubarb, cook the same as fresh rhubarb.

FORD CARS MADE GOOD
DURING WAR AND IN PEACE
Sales and Complete Service at the
Garage of Frank Van Sycklc
Company In this City.

Lie IOIu.
Much fun has been made of this
sturdy little car. 1t is the butt of rid
dicule on the vaudeville stage. 1t has
even become SO that a person cannot
pick up Il magazine or paper without
finding tucked away in it's pages a
joke about the Ford But with all
the fun poked at the Ford 1t still
seems to give the most service when
compared with other makes of cars,
even those by which 1t is out classed.
When the snow drifts of the past few
weeks were almost as high as the
fences, some how or other the little
Ford managed to work it's way
through where other and bigger cars,
with massive engines were stalled.
One need not go back further than
the recent war to see just the real
value of the little car that is used
more today than any other make.
When it was necessary to carry
wounded soldiers back from the fam
ing battle line, the Fords with their
ambulance body did the trick.
Much of the food thai is eaten by
carried to market in a Ford. Almost
all farmers have Ford trucks. over
the soft country roads they madly go
when other cars are mired in the sand
up to the hub cap. Many farmers are
now using the Fordson tractors for
the blowing n working of their
ground instead of horses. The trac-
tor Is an ~overgrown Ford with huge
iron wheels which keep it from cut
ting in the soft earth and it does tie
work of many horses. A feature of the
tractor Is that it is capable of blowing
the smallest field, which is not pos
sible with some of the larger makes.
One can buy any kind or type a
in a Ford, from the runabout to the
handsome sedan. which is on a par
with lot of higher priced cars on the
road today. The Ford of today is
electrically equipped with self starter
and all the features found on~ the
larger and higher priced machines.
These ears may be seen at the sales
room of the Frank Van Syckle Garage
Company. This concern not only sells
the GAYS for this district but also all
the parts and accessories.

SEVERAL NEW
ROUTES OPENED
Add to Joys to be Derived by

. Hundreds of important highways
are open this winter for motor truck
and passenger car tratnc for the first
m in history, reports the Travel and
transport Bureau OF the B. r.. Good
rich Rubber Company, who are con-
Quoting a nationwide campaign of
highway snow removal.
The almost continuous round of
snowstorms that have swept the
northern states this winter have
worked severe hardships on railroad
and interurban lines. Thus the de-
mands on inter-city motoring truck
ing companies have multiplied at an
unusual rate. In many sections the
traffic on highways was practically
uninterrupted.
State and county highway officials
are to be commended for their prompt
and efficient snow removal methods,
says the Goodrich Bureau. Noteworthy
examples of splendid cooperation
from highway authorities are ci,e in
the states Of Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and sections of Michi-
gan. We'll organized forces in these
states have greatly relieved traffic tie
Ups
Roads in the vicinity of Minneapolis
have been cleared of heavy snow
falls by the use of county-owned
t ucks equipped with snow plows.
William PaImer, highway oIicial who
had charge of the work, states that
one truck can keep so miles of road
cleared of snow.
Country roads in the vicinity of
Milwaukee are kept open by a pro-
gram agreed IN by town boards and
county highway officials. Motor truck
plowS and horse teams are emp.oyed
and the roads have been readily ac-
cessible for the greater part of the
winter. Milk companies have been
hauling milk on sleighs on the country
lanes to the main roads, where they
transfer the loads to trucks and pro-
coed to the Giles.
Interest In snow removal has spread
over h entire country. The state of
Washington is planning to operate ro-
tary plows over famous
Snoqualmie pass portions of the Ma
tional Park highway, thereby en-
couraging winter tourist travel, ac-
cording to reports from Seattle.
