Suggestions That Have Helped Me
In several recent farm papers I've
seen a hundred, or less, ways to use
salt to advantage, not mentioning of
course, the everyday necessities in
food. But I've never yet seen one
way that serves me frequently, that
is to scour the inside of the churn,
the dasher and butter, or worker.
All of us occasionally find our butter
sticking to the paddle, or to the
dasher. And one can not make good
looking butter if it's sticky. L, OF
course, always scald everything used
about the milk. so do you l know.
If you put your paddle in the butter
and it sticks take a knife and get
off all the butter, then cover 1t with
salt, sides and edges, and rub like
you meant to give it a good cdean-
ing. Pour hot water over it, then
cold and it won't stick. Some people
say that salt is good for silver, but
that's a mistake; it leaves scratches
on silver. But to scour your milk
vessels, there is nothing better.
When I took up the management
of this milk business I had it to-
learn. And l am certain we had one
of the worst cows for f0am% milk.
After all these years I am convinced
that it runs in the family, for we
have one of her daughters not much
better. But 1 have learned that II
she is given baking soda in her bran
or meal it .counteracts the tendency
to foam. The farmer has pack
age of soda at the barn and occa-
sionally mixes it with the salt he
| puts in their feed. We all know
that the older the calf is the more
liable the milk is to foam.
Cold weather will soon be here
We read of frosts in New Jersey
and they are due here in a week OF
two. The katy-dids told us to look
for frost the last week in September
but they were mistaken.

Women Take Place
In Legion Affairs
AT New Orleans
BY GRACE BOWEN
Qeased Wire Service to The Journal.)
\

Copyright, 1929
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 17.-Enter
the Eternal Feminine into the Amer
lean Legion.
For the first time since the fOrma
ton of the organization the women
of the war are raising their gentle
and firm voice officially in the delib-
erations of the veterans.
Tomorrow Miss Louise Wells, ma
tional president of the Women S
Overseas league, will address the
convention. Miss Wells, who holds
the distinction of being the one
woman delegate among many thou
sand men, is here as the represent
alive of that valiant contingent Of
women overseas RELIEF workers who
now are united in the organization
known as the Women's Overseas
Service league.
AS it's national president, Miss
Wells is in New Orleans by the di-
rect invitation of the Legion, with
the avoWed object of fostering a
closer cooperation in service be-
tween the men and women who
compose the veterans of the World
war.
In explaining her presence here
Miss Wells said today:
1.-THE Only reason for the exist
cnce of the Women'g Overseas Serv-
ice league is in the word service.
Whatever was our work over there
whether we passed out food to the
hungry line of the khaki-clad in tn )
| canteens behind the front; danced
with them at the big ~ Casinos It
Nice or AK les Bains; served them
with coffee and dougEnuts in the
Salvation Army huts; shopped for
them in Paris, or wrote their let
tiers home-it was joy in the service
that prompted it.
cit is the same spirit of service
that brings us together here. Our
desire is to help the eX-service man
where he needs it at home. Our wish
to give that help in the most eff
fective manner can best be attained
through cooperation with the Amer
lean Legion. In this respect our or
CARNATIONS are fraternaT bodies
working toward the same end.
"Just as we worked together
over there to accomplish the same
purpose, so we should work together
here IN the same cause of service"
Miss Wells was overseas two
years during the war as a " M: G.

Simple Way to Get
Rid of BLackheads

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads,
that is to dissolve them. To do this get two
ounces of calonte powder from any drug
stora-sprinkle little on a hot, wet cloth
rub over the blackheads briskly-wash the
parts and you will be surprised how the
blackheads have disappeared. Big black
heads, little blackheads, no matter where
they are, simply dissolve and disappear.
Blackheads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions that form in the pores of
the skin. The calonte power and the water
dissolve the blackhePds so they wash right
out, leaving the pores free and clean and
in their natural condition. ADVERTISEMENT

Molasses feeds are quite extensive
ly manufactured in various parts Of
the United States. A few years ago
somebody hit upon the plan Of TAX
ing a lot of low grade roughage and
grinding it up for feed. 1t natural
ly was not in a palatable form, and
hence did not sell readily. Later, de-
Velopments resulted in the admiX-
ture of this low-grade roughage with
very rich concentrates. The idea II
doing this was to supplement the de
ficiencies of the roughage in regard
to protein, carbohydrates or fat as
the case might be. Cottonseed meal,
for instance, contains about four
times as much digestible protein as
corn and three times as much as
wheat bran. If a moderate amount
Of cottonseed meal were therefore
added to a group of feeds low in pro-
tein, the amount of this element
contained in the resulting mass
would naturally be increased to a
considerable degree.
Molasses, as you doubtless know,
has been used more or less extern
sively as feed for livestock on sugar
plantations and in other locations
where it was produced abundantly
and was relatively cheap for many
years past. Molasses naturally is a
carbohydrate food in that it sup
plies heat and energy. Nearly all
animals like sweetened feeds. Hence
the idea developed of spraying mo-
lasses which has been reduced with
water over various kinds of mixed
feeds. This added greatly to the
palatability of the feed, and, if the
molasses is properly admixed with
the feed, material that keeps quite
satisfactorily is secured.
We have fed molasses here at the
college in a crude form. We have
also tried some of the moIasses
feeds. From the standpoint of the
producing dairyman or farmer, we
do not think we could recommend
the purchase of molasses feeds Not
that we have anything against them,
but because of their cost as compar-
ed with other forms of roughape
feeds which we can produce on our
land and feed to our cattle. For the
city resident who keeps one cow,
molasSes feeds have a distinct place.
While we have found the use Of mo-
lasses fairly satisfactory, we would
not recmOmend it's use under circum-
stances similar to our own unless it
could be purchased at a very low
cost.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

three hundred pounds of acid phos.
plate and two hundred pounds of
kainit under the peas. We would
use about. the same mineral element
under the rye as well. Peas, as you
doubtless know, tend to draw heav-
lily on these two mineral elements.
We are counting on the rye being
supplied with the nitrogen from the
pea crop turned under. OF course
land which IS in good condition and

are out Of equilibrium. The most
costly element you would have to
purchase and use with your land is
nitrogen, and, therefore, if you can
secure the greater part of it as the
result of inter-cropping with cow

you can use. There is nc objection
to using crimson clover or hairy
vetch for that matter, if you car
plant them early enough in the fall,
either singly or in combination. AS
they are leguminous crops, they
may help TO increase the supply of
nitrogen at a minimum cost. We
regard both crimson clover and
hairy Vetch as excellent winter
cover crops to use either in the
orchard or on the farm for the pur-
pose of increasing the supply OF
nitrogen.
We have seldom found it neces-
sary to inoculate cowpeas, crimson
clover or hairy vetch. A special
bacterial culture would, of course,
need to be used for each one.
