HOW MANY TEA
SPOONS IN A POUND

Five cubic centimeters is what the
Bureau of Standards has set as the
theoretical quantity teaspoon holds
but all spoons do not conform to this
The housekeeper measures with tea
spoon and should fill it "level' not
"heaping." How many teaspoons does
a pound of baking powder contain
Apparently the number depends or
yourself, upon the spoon used, upon
the brand of baking powder you buy
upon the can in the lot which you
happen to fet, and upon a few other
factors which though seemingly in
consequential do enter into the PROB
lem.
A pound of baking powder lasts
longer with some cooks than it does
with others. In an endeavor to learn
where the difference is made the eX-
perimental kitchen in the Office of
Home Economics of the United States
of Agriculture recently conducted a
series of experiments.
Various type of cooking teaspoons
were first experimental with to de-
termine the exact amount held in each
case. Both the ordinary teaspoon and
those measuring spoons" which are
linked together in sets were tested. A
variation of from 1875 to $50 teaspoons
was found in the same pound can when
different spoons were used.

Use One-Fifth Less
Sugar in Making
Jellies and Jams

One-fifth to one-quarter less sugar
can be used in making jelly and jams,
experiments made by household ex-
perts in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture experimental kit
chen Indicate
Another sugar-saving wrinkle test
ed by the experiment kitchen is to add
one-quarter teaspoon of salt to each
cup of fruit juice for Jelly or pulp for
jam, marmalade, and conserve. In the
case of nonacid fruit this makes the
absence of the full amount of sugar
less noticeable The salty taste will
disappear after the product has stood
for few weeks, but the flavor will
be much the richer for the addition Of
the salt. Salt was so used in England
during the war, and the method sag
gested was based on reports of the
process.
With fruits of pronounced flavor, or
where lemon and orange peel or spic-
es are used for flavoring those with
mild flavor, various sirups take the
place of part of the graduated sugar
Usually half and half is the proper
ton used in substitution.

WALNUT STUMP
w O r T III $3.50

Junction City, Kansas.-A single
walnut tree stump, grubbed out on
the banks of Clark's creek, will net
the Settgast brothers. Geary county
farmers, more than $3.50.
The brothers recently purchased all
of the walnut trees and have been
putting them down and shipping the
timber to ST. Louis and Kansas City
markets, where it commands high
prices.
The big stump weighs more than
nine tons and the portion above
ground measures fifty inches across
while the portion that was under
ground was even larger 1t is esti-
mated that the huge chunk of timber
would make gunstocks enough for an
entire regiment.
Based on present prices, the tree of
which this stump formed the base will
bring in more than $3.50.

TB. IN MIDDLE WEST
POULTRY FLOCKS

Novelty in Burning Of Effioy Of Ma

Chinaman.

It is the custom Of the Chinese to
burn various kinds Of efigies at the
funeral ceremonies of the rich, and
the more wealthy the departed the
more elaborate the figures burned over
his grave. These ed1gies represent
every manner of thing, such as human
figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables
loaded with money, etc.
At the funeral Of a Mr.. Ii, who
died a short time ago in Mentsin.
and who was a very wealthy man,
the bereaved family outdid themselves,
and made an imitation of the deceased
gentleman's automobile, to be burned
at his grave. The eff1gy was made
entirely Of strong Chinese paper
stretched on bamboo frames. The car
was complete in every detail, the ped
ais accurately placed, and all made Of
paper and bamboo.
The interior of the car was also
accurate in detail, being carefully up
holstered in paper. The car was car
ried about three miles through crowded
streets to the graveside, where a
match was applied. and it was con-
sumed in few minutes.

Gradual Transformation Of the bat
,tle-swept regions Of northern France
back to their normal conditions Is be-
ing everywhere noted by the Assocd-
ated Press correspondent who, with
special facilities extended by the gov
ernment, is making tour through the
devastated regions to observe their
steady progress toward recovery.
This rehabilitation is observable In
the revival Of old industries, the e.
tablishment Of new ones and the In
PRODUCTION Of modern equipment, and
Il is even noticeable In the return OF
vast focks and herds Of domestic an
finals, depleted by the war, back to
the normal basis required for the do
nestle needs Of this region.
Small Farmers Try TO Recoup
When war swept over the ten de-
partments along the battle front, do
mestic animals disappeared. most Of
the stock being taken as food for the
armies, while the birds and fowls fed
from the conclusion Of the great guns.
Now, with the gradual return to pre-
war conditions, the thrifty French
peasant and small farmer is making
heroic efforts to recoup his fortune
and to rehabilitate his land.
Domestic animals are being greatly
treasured for their food value, and
are cared for by their owners with
the same solicitude shown toward
their children. Poultry and rabbits
are kept in warm quarters and fed
regularly, even though It Is necessary
now and then for the people them
selves to 60 without square meal.
New impetus also Is given to the
breeding Of small domestic animals in
order to replenish the restricted sup
ply.
Cattle Are Not Plentiful.
Because Of the fact that pastures
we're for the most part destroyed by
shell fire and gas, it has been found
very difficult to get forage for cows,
and therefore cattle are scarce at
present.
In the field Of industry the notice
able development among the French is
the inclination to modernize plants
destroyed by the ravages of the war;
Naturally slow to make changes and

are beginning to step forward. They
are installing electric power, applying
the latest ideas In mechanics, reor-
ganizing their enterprises and build

for the developments they believe the
future will bring forth.
