Aim Of English Institutes.
In describing before group of ex-,
tension specialists the plan and scope
Of the women's institutes In England,
Miss Zimmerman explained that the
aim Of these organizations is social
as well as educational. Women of
various interests and in different
walks Of life are urged to join them
for the sake Of community solidarity.
The regular meetings are social In ma
ture, including lectures, pageants, his
torlcal, musical and dramatic enter
tanments. folk and period dancing
and similar features In which all can
participate. In addition there are a
great variety OF classes conducted In
which any woman, who wishes to, can
learn to do or make something which
saves expenditure or by which she
ing rush seats, gloves, bags, uphol-
stery, umbrella covers, blouses, white
washing or soldering is In great de-
mand. The institutes resemble extern
sion work in that voluntary local lead
ers do great deal of the actual in
struction. They attend special train
ing classes at their own expense and
must pass tests before they can
qualify as instructors. One-half of the
expense of conducting the institutes Is
raised locally. the remainder is borne
by the British department of agri-
culture but the state support Is to be
withdrawn.
Fixed Annual Charge.
The institutes differ from our extern
sion groups In that fixed annual
charge Of 2 shIllings is made, and
there are other small fees for class
instruction and for any refreshments
served at meetings. Apparently no
meetings occur, either In the daytime
or evening. without the customary
English cup Of tea, but the usual
charge Of pence seems to be cheer
fully met by all Of the many members
who find that both the social and edu-
cational aspects Of the institutes add
much to their enjoyment Of life.

Superior Formula Given
to Treat Garget in Cow

Garget often causes considerable loss
in the herd. When an animal is found
to be suffering from this trouble she
should be MIXED after the remainder
of the herd, as the disease may be car
ried on the hands. After milking, the
hands should be washed with u good
disinfectant Milk from the diseased
quarters should not be MIXED on the
floor, but into pail and disposed Of.
cows suffering from 1t may be treated
with the following mixture, recon-
mended by the Purdue university dairy
department.
Mix eight oupces Of vaseline, eight
ounces OF wool fat. two fluid ounces
belladonna, two fluid ounces extract
poke root; warm and mix. Massage
udder thoroughly. Feed one table
spoonful of powdered poke root and
one tablespoonful of saltpeter three
feeds, stop three feeds and continue

Cranberry pie may be made Of cram
berry sauce or cranberries, either with
or without raisins. When equal parts
of raIsins and cranberries are used 1t

Cranberry pies are usually made with
out top crust, although a lattice Of
pastry strips may be used, or
meringue may be spread over the top
and delicately Drowned. In a variation
of mock cherry" pie, chopped. pltted.
cooked prunes are substituted for
ralsins.
Cranberries may be introduced In
many dishes where cherries would be
used In the spring. A hot steamed pud-
ding, made by biscuit dough recipe,
Is excellent II one cupful OF cranber-
ries is stirred in for each pint of -four
Cranberries may be used In richer
steamed puddings with more eggs and
other ingredients; they may be put
into baked or boiled bread puddings,
cabinet" or stale-cake pudding, or
plain batter pudding. Most of these
desserts require sauce Of some sort.
A soft hard" sauce Is excellent with
any Of them, or liquid sauce, such as
foamy or lemon sauce, thlckened with
egg and cornstarch, or cranberry
sauce itself. Cranberry soufrle can be
made II 1t is not necessary to econo-
mize on eggs. Steamed brown bread
may have cranberries In It.
Candied cranberries are easy to
make and have many uses. The Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
has recipe for preparing them which
will be furnished to those Interested.
They can be put into many of the des-
serts mentioned instead OF fresh cram
berr!es, and used in all the ways in
which glazed cherries are used.

DAIRY
HINTS
Device to Prevent Cow
From Sucking Herself

1t Is annoying to say the least when
cow contracts the habit Of robbing
her own dairy and how best to stop
the vice is problem. In some In
stances where COW shows a marked
shrink in milk and is not seen to suck
herself we have found that the rob-
bing was being done by calf. or even
yearling, on pasture. The usual
treatment In such a case is to put
spiked halter on the robber calf, says
writer In the Successful Farming.
Such contrivance Is Objectionable
In that injuries to the udder may
result. The better plan Is to prevent
the thieving calf from getting at the
COW. In another instance campers on
the lake at the far side of the farm
were doing the robbing. 80 investiga-
ton is necessary In all such cases.
When COW sucks herself there are
various methods of prevention, each
Of which has its advocates. We have
often had good results from simply
putting an old horse collar upside
down on the cows neck. A necklace"
Of pointed lath or small pickets rs
shown in the Illustration proves ef-
fective. 1t is made as follows: Take
six pieces OF round, light wood about
twelve inches long and one and one
half inches in diameter, or pieces of
strong lath of similar length. and with
small cord passed through holes bored
The Holly chieftain., 1923-12-27

In the round sticks, or tied around the
laths, weave them to form an open
fencelike necklace to be placed
around the cows neck and secured
there by tying together the free ends
of'the cords. When the COW turns to
suck herself the sticks will prevent.
Another good plan is to place strong
around the body just behind the ell
bows. Then put a snap-hook in one
end Of piece Of fork or broom ham
die and ring In the other. Now
snap the HOOK into the hanging ring
Of the halter, pass the stick between
the forelegs and attach the ring in its
end to the surcingle, or pass the rope
or strap Of the surcingle through the
ring of the stick. This Will stop self
sucking but not prevent eating.
A simpler plan is to put bull ring
in the cows nose and hang another
ring from the first one. That usually
works well. II not. then put COM
mon straight bride bit in the mouth
and hold 1t loosely in place by means
Of halter. One man suggests greas-
ing the teats with lard and then sprin-
king freely with red pepper. That
discourages the COW from sucking her
self or being sucked by a calf. A
somewhat cruel preventive measure Is
to put some hog rings in the cows
lips and the latest suggestion. which
we do not care to recommend, Is to
put the rings in the tip Of the cows
tongue.
The old-fashioned plan Of splitting
the cows tongue for distance of
one and one-half to two inches from
Its tip has Of recent years been i'm
proved upon by trained veterinarians
who perform the operation according
to modern methods of surgery and In
such way as to prevent undue suf-
fering and insure against infection.

Different WAYS OF
USING CRANBERRIES
They Help Greatly to Replace
Fruits and Berries

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Cranberries have many uses in addi-
tion to the traditional sauce or Jelly
that accompanies the Thanksgiving
and Christmas turkeys. Coming on
the market, as they do, when cold
weather begins, they help to replace
the fresh fruits and berries that have
disappeared from the menu. and fur
nish fruit acids and other valuable
constituents needed in the diet.
Cranberry sauce Is, of course, the
easiest use for these berries, because
1t takes but few minutes to cook the
cranberries and sugar sufficiently.
When made with small amount Of
water the sauce will be firm enough
to turn out Of molds when cold. Any
good cookbook gives directions for
making cranberry sauce to accompany
turkey or other poultry. When cram

be strained. Cranberry Ice or sherbet.
made with the Juice Of fresh berries,
is often served with the meat course
Instead Of the more common cranberry
sauce.
Either the sauce or Jelly may be
stored, like any other preserves, In
sterilized glasses covered with paraffin.
II is then useful as spread for bread,
as a sandwich filling, In tart shells
for desserts, on ice cream or plain
blanc mango, on shortcake, as sauce
for hot cake-like desserts such as cot
tage pudding or pufrs, with pancakes,

In addition to being spread on short
cake, cranberry sauce can be combined
with biscuit dough In several ways.
Served in baking dish, covered with
biscuit top. 1t becomes Cranberry

cult dough, such as one makes for
