Quorum Court did a good days
work last Wednesday when
they voted a tax to employ a
county demonstration agent
and a canning club agent. Too
much cannot be done along this
line of work. he work CT
these two departments were
hard, and it took quite a long
time to get the work started and
running smoothly, but the work
is progressing nicely and much
good is being derived from it.
One can look back several years
when we had no such workers
in the county and compare the
times with now, and see what
the extension agents nave &C
conlplished. For one thiGE, a
few years ago there were ve;y
few girl in the county that
could put up a can of fruit or
make preserves, but now there
is hardly girl in the county
over twelve years of age that
cannot do any of this work and
do it well; and few years ago
there was very few blOOded hogs
in the county, now you can see
them on most every farm, and
the boys of the pig clubs are
beating their fathers raising
hogs too. These agents are
helping to make farm life more
pleasant and in this way the
boys will soon gladly stay on
the farm. The body of Justices
of the Peace showed their wis
dom in making possible the con-
tinuance of the department of
agriculaural extension work.

great question of how to keep

the question, and it is working

having a small country school
scattered in every cross road,
they have joined together some
three or four districts, and built
large high school buildings, the
children coming to the school
from miles around, some on

in automobiles. The building is
also a community building, and
is used for church, sociables, or
lodge meeting; real instructors
are employed, ones that draw

need starch 10 give Us energy to live
and work.
As source or iron, potatoes are
equal To whole cereals and eggs when
properly cooked. The potato con-
tains but a small amount of one type
of building material which is very inn
pOrtant: that is nitrogen; but the
amount seems to equal the average
amount found in cereals, on the basis
of the usual servings.
Although potatoes and cereals have
a good supply of lime and phosphor-
us, they should not be depended upon
as a source of these minerals. As
lime and phosphorus are needed for
building bones and teeth as well as
regulating the body processes, they
should be supplied from milk, eggs le-
gumes.
One great advantage that potatoes
have over cereals is that they help to
keep the fluids of the body neutral or
slightly alkaline, because of the potas-
SUM they contain. Those foods which
hdft an dlhdllHt FedCllUH III lllt us
sues seem to furnish better health TO
the average individual
The waste in pairing a potato after
cooking, as compared to that of the
method of peeling before cooking, IS
Just half, as the skin holds back the
mineral salts; the protein and starch
and none of this food substance comes
off with the skin after cooking.
The temperature of water in which
potatoes are put on to cook also in
fluences loss of nutriment. Expert
ments have proved that the -oss of
mineral matter is little: the loss Of
protein is over twice as great when po-
tatoes are put on to cook in cold wa
ter as in boiling water.
From all points Of view the best
methods of preparing potatoes are by
baking and steaming.
