Chocolate Cream Complexions.

which is (and no joke is meant In TINS

pasty skin of the one who habitually
overeats. Chocolate creams are not
the only sinners!
The thing to remember is, not to

several meals taken with regularity

Sugar is highly stimulating and many
of us are so made that our systems
demand this stimulation from food. 1t

of people. those whose diet lacks
something vital and those who have
pampered themselves so their stom-
achs rule them. Underfed children,
girls who live on starchy, unbalanced
diets, and fat women crave candy
others, normally healthy, like it now

need of it. But be careful. Eat it if
YOU like, but be careful that you don't
eat it too often or in quantities suffi-

Most Effective Remedy
for Intestinal Worms

From our experimental work, we
have found the best treatment for
worms is as follows: Make up wet
mash Of bran or some similar ground
feed and into this put some ordinary
smoking tobacco; that is, the finely
ground tobacco. This should be used
at the rate of pound to one hundred
birds. Before giving the wet mash to
the birds, / would starve them for a
feeding or two, so that they will be
sure to consume the mash. would
give two feelings one each on sue
cessive days and then on the third
day, follow this with some epson salts,
also dissolved and mixed in with a
wet mash, at the rate Of one pound Of
salts to one hundred birds. We have
found this to be the most effective
treatment for intestinal ,worms-H.

Promising Forage

It's Winter Hardness Makes
1t Worthy Of Extended
Trial in Corn Belt.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hungarian vetch is one of the many
promising forage crops introduced in
the United States by the Department
of Agriculture. First importations of
seed We're made in 1905. but it was not
until 1912 that the strain being de-
yeloped at the present time was
brought over from France. The crop
has been most extensively tested in the
Pacific Coast states, where it Is espe-
cially well adapted. but 1t has also done
well in experimental tests in the
Southern states Its winter hardness,
resistance to aphids, good seed habits,
and adaptation to poorly drained lands
make it desirable for extended trial
throughout the Cotton Belt the depart
ment believes.
Thrives on Wet Soil.
Hungarian vetch is much less why
than common vetch or hairy vetch.
One of its most striking character
istics is its ability to grow on heavy
wet lands and still produce fair crop.
While there have been no feeding tests
to determine the relative value of Hun
garian vetch as compared. to other
vetches and hays dairy cows at the
experimental station at Corvallis, Ore,
have consumed it readily. The crop
also makes good pasture and is val
liable as green manure crop.
Best Time for Sowing.
Hungarian vetch should be sown in
the fall in all regions having mild
winter conditions In regions having
severe winters, however, fall planting
is impractical and paintings made as
early in the spring as the ground can
be worked will give the best results.
Seed is being produced in western Ore
gon, and at present this is the only
place where it is being grown. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has at present none of this seed
for general distribution.

Exhaustive experiments with vari-
GUS crops under widely varying soil
and climatic conditions, made by the
United States, Department of Agricul-
ture, have proved that borax is detri-
mental to plant growth when applied
in quantities varying from to 20
pounds to the acre, and larger quanti-
ties produced progressively greater in

or less per acre, produced very little
If any effect and were, In fact, slightly
stimulating to certain crops in some
instances. While the harmful amounts
Of from to 20 pounds and even
higher occurred In certain fertilizers
during 1919, these have no special prac-
tical application to present conditions
since there is not enough borax in any
American potash on the market to
make such applications possible.

will contain only OF of a pound Of
borax; 1000 pounds would contain 0.4

Similarly, ton of fertilizer carrying
as high potash content as 10 per cent
would contain only 1.6 pounds of borax.
Even such heavy applications as a
