CUES. What is the meaning and
origin Of eggs and rabbits at Easter
time?-Ans. Easter eggs are SYM
bolic of the germs of life and re-
creation Of spring. The practice of
presenting egss to our friends at yas-
ter is Of Via ;an or Persian origin
and bears allusion to the mundane
eggs for which Ormuzd and Ahrlman
were to contend till the consumption
of all things. It prevailed not only
with the Persians but also among the
Jews, Egyptians and Hindus. Chris
tians adopted the custom to .symbo-
lie the resurrection, and tho eggs
are colored red in allusion to the
blood of the redemption. other col
ors were later introduced but have no
special significance except 20 make
variety. The Romans recognized the
egg as a symbol of the recreation of
life, and the rabbit, that OF fertility
and reproduction.

POPULAR MECHANICS
OPPOSED TO BLUE LAWS

The editor of Popular Mechanics
in the February issue, gives a COM
nonsense view of the evil effects of
the Sunday blue laws, in their re-
action upon religion, as follos;
"And now the reformers have de-
cided blue law Sunday is what we
need. The Sabbath of the Puritans,
who with all their solid qualities were
at the same time among the most mar
row-minded bigots of any time, is
no more to be compared with our
modern Sunday than was the May
flower" to the "Mauretani" as a We
hicle of transatlantic travel. To i'm
pose the Sunday of the reformers
would be to turn the clock back two
hundred years, and would be cruel
and harmful. Even If IL could be
enforced, the hatred of religion, in
whose name II is asked, would out
weigh all possible advantage gained.
Religion and its tenets cannot be
legislated into the human heart; and
Christ himself, least of all, sought to
do so. Unquestionably a larger at
tendance at church services, and
deeper respect for religion than exists
at present, are to be desired. But
blue laws will not win the unbeliever
any more than the Inquisition with all
its power and physical punishments
was able to do. A so-called blue law
would not be as extreme as the In
QUESTION, but it would rest on iden-
tically the same selfish, narrow basis
The Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts doubtless
means well, although the milk of hui
man kindness must have been wiped
from his lips before his latest pic
ture was taken.
Probably the ideal Sunday, spirit
ually and physically, is the one ap-
proved by Theodore Roosevelt, let the
be devoted to attendance up
on some public place of worship and
for those who are debarred from such
relaxation during the week, let the
Sunday afternoon be spent in open
air recreation. For myself, l cannot
see any greater sin in the engineer
who runs a Sunday train which en-
ables a son to reach the bedside of
his dying mother, than the labor of
he janitor who cares for the fires
rings the bell, and otherwise makes a
at church possible"

Properly Prepared Soil Saves Corr
Cultivation.

Experiments conducted for a mum.
Der of years by the Kentucky Agri-
cultural Experiment Station show
that if the soil is thoroughly prepar-
ed before corn is planted the work
of cultivating after planting may be
reduced to that necessary to keep
down weeds. The same experiments
showed that before corn comes up and
while it is still small the cultivation
may be done with harrow or weed
er.
Three or four civilizations were as
good as seven or eight, the expert
ments proved, providing that the Gull
tivations controlled the weeds. They
also showed that shallow cultivation
was as good and not as expensive as
deep cultivation if weeds were con-
trolled If weeds become so tall that
deep cultivation is necessary to kill
them then this form of cultivation is
10 be recommended. No moisture is
saved on well-ordered soil by Guilt
waiting after the corn is knee-high,
the experiments showed.

"Salt-Rising" Bread Just As Good As
In the Old DAYS.

| In the Old DAYS.
To many persons no bread car
equal the "salt-rising" variety-thC
kind their grandmothers made. This
bread, the name of which is somewhat
misleading, has been known in one
form or another for generations. Il
has been a particular favorite wher
and where satisfactory yeast was
difficult to get. This recipe is given
by the U. S. Department of Agricul.
ture.
cup milk.
2 tablespoons white corn meal.
/ teaspoon salt.
Butter (if used) 1 tablespoon.
Flour.
Scald the milk. Allow ii to cool
until 1t is lukewarm; then add the
salt, sugar, and cornmeal. Place in a
fruit can or a heavy crock or pitcher
and surround by water at about 100
degrees F. Water at this tempera-
ture is the hottest in which the hand
can be held without Inconvenience,
and can be secured by mixing nearly
equal parts of boiling water and tap
water (unless the tap water is I'M
unusually warm. Allow the mixture
to stand for or Z hours, or until it
shows signs of fermentation. If it has
fermented sufficiently, the gas can
heard as it escapes.
This leaven contains enough liquid
for one loaf. If more loaves are need
ed add 1 cup of water, l teaspoon of
salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1
tablespoon of butter for each addi-
tional loaf. Make a soft sponge by
adding a cup of flour for each loaf.
Beat thoroughly and put the sponge
again at the temperature of about 100
degrees F. When it is very light,
add more flour gradually until the
dough is so stiff thai it can be knead-
ed without sticking to the hands or
to the board. Knead 10 or Is min
utes, put at once into the pans, al
low to rise until about two and one
half times its original bulk, and
bake. Selfrising bread is never so
light as the bread raised with yeast.
A loaf made with one cupful of
liquid, therefore. will come not quite
up to the top Of pan of standard
size.

Stake and Prume Tomatoes To Sc
cure Good Fruit.

Stake and Prune Tomatoes To Sc
cure Good Fruit.
II generally pays to stake and
prune the tomatoes grown in the
small home garden because by this
method the fruit is held off the
ground and is clean, a larger number
of tomato plants can be grown on
n given space and the fruit general
ly ripens earlier than IL the plants
are allowed to grow in the natural
way. In pruning the plants all side
shoots and suckers are removed
leaving only the main stem with its
leaves and clusters of fruit. 1t is ca
sy to determine which are the side
shoots and which the the young
blossom clusters because the shoots
appear directly in the little pocket
where the leaf joins the stem, while
the fruit clusters appear on the maxi
ed side of the stem where there is no
leaf. Pinch out the side shoots, but
be careful not to injure the blossom
or fruit clusters.
Tomato stakes should be from 4 to
feet long and to n inches thru
at the thickest part. They may be
small saplings cut in the woods and
sharpened at one end, or they may
be split from a log that is free from
knots. Sometimes strips of waste ma
terial from a sawmill or planning mill,
known as edgings are used. 1t makes
little difference so long as the sta
are strong enough to support the
plants and are inexpensive. The
stakes should be driven firmly into
the ground, one on the north side of
each tomato plant, and the plants
tied to them once a week during the
active growing period with soft cord
or narrow strips of muslin Some
times the tomato plants will reach
the tops of the stakes and then hang
over until the tip will touch the
ground, clusters of fruit being form
ed all along the stems.

Scrub cattle losses will be wiped
out in the state by better breeding
was the assertion made by Prof. w
s. Anderson, specialist in charge
OF animal breeding at the college
OF agriculture of the University OF
Kentucky, in an address at the Bour-
bon Stock Yards this week. Prof.
Anderson told the crowd of farmers
that they can restore the eminence
OF the State in livestock production
and reap enormous returns in profits
by use Of purebred sires and the
proper breeding.
He declared that the University of
Kentucky was deeply interested in
the Farmers Better Sire Sale of 500
pure-bred bulls to be held at the
Bourbon Stock Yards June End, and
was using every resource at its COM
mand in support of the movement
which, he fully asserted, had the
backing of not only the livestock in
terests. but all banking and business
interests of the State.
The speaker said the farmer in
buying a pure-bred bull was buying

than 200 years, devoted to livestock

Matching Hints Which Make For

When the hen is Matching she
should not be disturbed except 20 re-
move the shells, unless she becomes
uneasy and steps on OF picks the

with flannel or some other sof. ma
tcrial and cover the top, keeping the
basket or hOx in a w3Tm place until
the eggs eft under the hen are hatch.
ed
Hens should be fed as soon as pos
sible after the eggs are Matched, as
feeding tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise, many hens will leave the
nest. In most cases it is best that
the hen remain on the nest and
brood the chicks for at least "a hours
after the Matching is over. Hens will
successfully brood 10 to Is chicks
early in the breeding season and is
to 25 in warm weather, depending up
on the size of the hen, so that often
two broods of chicks which hatch at
the same time can be put together
and raised under one hen.
Powder the hen with a good insect
powder or with sodium fluorid two
days before the chicks are due to
hatch. If lice appear on the chicks,
or if they are troubled with head
lice" a very little grease, such as
lard or vaseline, may be applied with
the fingers on the head, neck, under
the wings, and around the vent.
Great care should be taken, however,
not to get too much on as twill stop
their growth and in some cases may
prove fatal.
