HAPPY NEW YEAR.

The Old Year and the New Year
were seeing each other, and the New
Year was talking of plans for 1871
while the Old Year talked of what
had happened during 1919.

The sO-caled egg substitutes which
under various trade names are being
sold TO housewives will in no sense
take the place of eggs in baking or
cooking say the specialists OF the
bureau of chemistry, United States
department of agriculture. They have
anaIyzed and made baking tests with
most of the preparations which are
claimed by manufacturers to do the
work of eggs.
These preparations are sold usually
in small packages containing from
one TO four ounces and priced at from
10 to 80 cents a package. 1t IS
claimed that each package will take
the place of from II to 48 eggs. If
these preparations would take the
Mace of or do the work Of even one
dozen eggs, their purchase would help
TO reduce the high cost of living, but
unfortunately for those who are mis-
led by the allHring claims on the labels
or in advertisements, they do not dc
the work of eggs in baking or COOK
ing.
Price Is Excessive.
The average price paid by the con
sumer for the so-called egg substl
tutes is approximately 6 cents al
ounce or at the rate of about 81
pound. Since these products consis
essentially of starch or a powdered
cereal product such as wheat flour

This Is what he said:

Nineteen-nlneteen was also cold,
Nineteen-nineteen heard them cheer'

Then New Year reelted this verse:

Thrash Hard Spring Wheat
DirectIv From the Shock

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method, is to
thrash directly from the shock.
Thrash when the grain is dry, either
before or after it has gone through
the sweat. If the grain Is too dry,
it will crack badly in thrashing.
Wheat thrashed before sweating in
the shock will go through the sweat
in the bins, giving the grain dark
er and richer color. Grain that is
thrashed when damp will sweat too
much and become hot and bin burnt.
When grain is stacked it should be
allowed to go through the sweat be-
fore thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and econom-
ically where a group of farmers can
own and operate q thrashing outfit
together.
See that the separator is well
cleaned before the thrashing is
started, in order to prevent the mix
ture of grain and the scattering OF
weed seed from the neighboring
farms.
Watch carefully the working of
the machine to see that the grain is
entirely removed from the straw and
that the chaff is blown out.
Stack the straw, use it as feed or
bedding for live stock, and so con-
vert it into manure.
