Cranberries

CfanberrieS
Cranberries are usually associated
so closely with Thanksgiving and
Christmas dinners that most house
Keepers overlook the fact that cram
berries can be used for quite as deli
cious desserts as other fruits.
They are rich in mineral salts and
aid in digesting fat meats. Coming
at the time of gear when succulent
vegetables are rather scarce and
high they are valuable addition to
the diet.

If cranberry pudding is chosen for
the dessert keep in mind that the

There is danger of eating too much
and too rich food during the winter
months. buildings following hearty
dinner are usually just so much ex-
ira and unneeded food.
Cranberry sauce or jelly adds zest
to any meat as well as turkey. They
can be made in quantities and kept
for Use rs wanted.
Cranberry Sauce.
Two cups cranberries, 81 cup
water. I II cups sugar.
Some cooks advise parbOiling the
berries. The theory is that the cram
berries require less sugar to sweetcn
them. My theory is that by parboil-
ing. some of the valuable salts are lost
and thrown away in the water.

PENN DUCKS GROW RAPIDLY
Young Fowls Intended for Market
Should Never Be Given Anything
but Soft Feed,

The Pekin is the only duck that
grows rapidly enough to make a good
green duck. Ducklings that are to be
marketed as green ducks should never
have anything but soft feed. Start
them on bread crumbs or dry bran,
and as soon as they have learned to
eat well give a mash of two parts
bran one part middlings and a very
little corn meal, moistened with water
till crumbly, and with about 5 per cent
sand or chick grit added. This may
be fed at first five times a day, but
should soon be gradually diminished
to three times a day. Never forget
the sand, for the ducklings must have
it to digest their food. The amount
of corn meal in the mash may be grad
ually increased and little beef scrap
added after two weeks, though some
duck raisers never feed it, and it is a
good plan to mix cut up alfalfa or
other green's in the mash until the
ducklings have learned to eat without
cutting. BY the eighth week the mash
may consist of equal parts bran, corn
meal and middlings, with per cent
beef scrap, and always sand. The
last two weeks some of the big duck
men add little oil meal for finishing.
The point is to make the mash richer

FACTS ESSENTIAL in
COOPERATIVE MOVE
Farmers Must Keep Close Ac-
count of Their Expenses.
Official of Department of Agriculture
Says Attention Should Be Given
to Proper Determination of
Charges for Use of Land.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
To prevent either undue enhance
ment or depression Of prices of farm
products, farmers engaged in coop
erative marketing must keep close
account of their costs of operation,
DIR. Henry G. Taylor, chief of the
bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agri-
culture, said in substance in address
ing the American Farm Economic as
sociation at Chicago.
Farmers who associate themselves
for collective bargaining are likely to
go wrong if they are not guided by
proper cost accounting" Doctor Tay-
lor said. 'They may either unduly
enhance prices in specific cases, con-
trary to the Capper-V olstead act or
they may over-stimulate. production
and in the long run depress prices
below the proper point.
''To make the right decision regard
ing what crops to grow, equipment to
use, intensity of culture, and the most
profitable method Of disposing of the
products, the cost Of various opera
lions as well as total costs are need
ed. Particular attention should be
given the proper determination of
charges for the use Of land, unpaid
labor and other non-cash items, and
to the costs incurred by new produc-
ers who have entered the field on ac-
count Of rising prices"
Such accounting will also give agri-
cultural economists considerable in
formation necessary in the proper
analysis of agricultural conditions, it
was pointed out.

GOVERNMENT AIDS IN
KILLING MANY PESTS
Work Conducted in Connection
With Extension Service.
Mice Were Very Numerous and Trou-
bIesome in Washington Orchard
Area-Posoned Bait Proves
to Be Effective.

Orchard mice were very numerous
and troublesome last fall in the middle
Washington orchard area. The biolog-
zeal survey of the United States De
partment of Agriculture has, been
called on to assist farmers against
these pests, which often girdle valu-
able trees in single night. The work
is conducted in cooperation with the
extension service Of the agricultural
colleges. In the Yakima district more
than 10000 pounds of poisoned grain
was distributed over 1900 acres of or
chard owned by more than 300 grow
ers. In the Wenatchee district 100
ounces Of strychnine was distributed
to more than 200 growers, an amount
sufficient for more than $4,000 pounds
Of oats to cover 1000 acres. About
200 growers were supplied in the
Okanogan district with poison suff1-
cient for over 1000 acres Wherever
the poison was spread many dead mice
were found on the surface, and far
greater number were known to have
died in their runways.

SUCCESSFUL SUCK"
men and veterinarians are certain that
more extended use of the principles
Of sanitation and proper feeding and
less dependence upon cure-alls are the
most important factors in keeping live
stock healthy and thriving. Drugs new
Rr can take the place of good santa
ton and food feeding.
Healthy Stock Most Profitable.
But animals do get sick. When they
do, they need careful attention In
many cases they will require medicine,
and in most circumstances the admin
istration Of medicine should be under
the direction of competent veterina-
rian. He knows the action, uses and
doses of medicine and gives them for
special purposes.
1t pays to keep animals healthy. And
to keep animals healthy, it is neces-
sary to give them proper feed, ade-
quate quarters, and an abundant sup
ply of fresh air and water. The very
life Of our animals depends upon a
good supply Of fresh air. When it is
necessary to stable animals, ventila-
ton is easiest gained by means of
ventilators which take fresh air into
the barn and others to conduct the
foul air out.
Cows should have plenty of good
quality feed. Unless this is provided,

STOCkMEN OF WISCONSIN ARE ALERT TO
VALUE OF GOOD FEEDING AND SANITATION

attention to other matters will be of
no avail Time spent in study of the
laws governing the scientific feeding
of animals is sure to be well repaid.
Many successful dairymen and other
stockmen find that it pays to remove
waste from managers. They keep all
feed boxes clean and sweet by prompt
removal Of waste and by occasional
washing with a liquor disinfectant
solution prepared and applied in strict
accordance with directions printed on
the package.
Thorough Bedding Pays.
Clean bedding helps in keeping AMI
mails healthy and comfortable. AMI
mails plastered with manure and filth
show poor care ard a lack of dry
place to lie. A dirty coat of hair pro-
vides a favorable breeding place for
microbes and animal parasites, while
well-bedded clean animals thrive much
better
Nature has generously furnished us
with one Of the best means of con-
trolling diseases in the form of sun
light. Nearly all sease-producing
germs are quickly killed by the rays
of the sun. This fact shows why all
barns should be built with plenty of
windows to-admtt an abundance of
sunshine.
While there is a wide difference of
opinion as to the best material for
floors, every one agrees that frequent
application of air-slaked lime to the
previously scraped floor is very eff
fective in keeping the stable sweet and
clean.
Proper drainage of barnyards, pad
docks, and open pens also adds to
the animals health. When animals are
allowed to wade through or in mud
they are much more liable to disease
and injury.
Drinking water should be pure and
fresh and the supply plentiful. Great
care should be taken to guard it from
filth of all kinds. The yellow-green
scum that appears in troughs during
the summer is not, in itself, harmful,
but it may catch and hold dangerous
microbes. By emptying the water from
time to time and thoroughly scrubbing
the trough with 5 per cent solution
of blue vitriol this vegetable growth
may be killed.

HENS NEED LOTS OF WATER
Drink Almost as Important as Feed
in the Production of
Eggs.

Hens will not lay "dried eggs" They
are just contrary enough to require
liquid refreshments if they stay on
the job filing the egg BASKETS.
That water is almost as important
as feed in the production of eggs, Is
the opinion Of J. B. Hayes, poultry
man at the Wisconsin College of Ag-
riculture.
Unless hens are given all the milk
they can drink, water should be sup
piled to the flock at all times. Even
then, water may be found advisable.
There is a pint Of water in every doz-
en- of eggs, according to Hayes.
Between four and five gallons of wa
ter for every hundred birds per day is
about the required amount for maxi
mum production. 1t is especially i'm
portant that laying hens have water
to drink as soon as they come off the
roosts in the morning and again just
before going to roost at night.

PUREBRED STOCK is BETTER
Offspring Worth Practically SO Per
Cent More in Sale Value Than
Grades and Scrubs.

More than 500 farmers and breeders
raising all kinds of domestic animals
answered questions sent out by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, and from these replies it has been
determined that these men consider
purebreds 40 per cent better from
utility standpoint than common stock.
They say that offspring of purebreds
are worth practically so per cent more
in sale value than the offspring of
grades and scrubs. Also, purebreds
were found in nearly all cases to be
more readily salable.

LEATHER LOSSES CAN
BE GREATLY REDUCED
Careless Handling on Part OF
Farmer Reduces Value.
Lona-Used Vegetable Tanning Mate
rails, Products of Farm and For
est, Are Totally Inadequate
at the Present Time.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In calling attention to the need for
more study of the care of hides, the
making Of leather and its care, the
bureau of chemistry of the United
States Department of Agriculture
SAYS that the farm, which produces
the raw materials, uses more of the
finished products than does any other
industry. The total number OF hides
and skins used in making leather in
this country in 1914 was more than
14O,OOOO0O, costing the tanners, it is
estimated, S240,00O,000 plus $4,000
600 worth of tanning, curing, and
finishing materials. The factory value
of leather goods made from these ma
terials is estimated at more than
$65O,OoO,OOO, for which the ultimate
user paid at least 81, 000,0O0,OOO.
Better methods of tanning, says the
department, should materially reduce
the cost of shoes and harness to the
farmer. Country butchers and farm
ers now supply about 30 per cent OF
the hides and skins used in this coun-
try. Carelessness, lack of knowledge
of taking off, curing, and selling these
hides and skins cause the loss of
about one-third of the value to the
farmer. These losses are at least
S15,OOOOOO annually.
The long-used vegetable tanning
materials, which are direct products
of the forest and farm, are totally in
adequate at the present time, says the
department, to supply the country's
needs. Through better processes and
more intelligent care many millions Of
dollars can be conserved annually in
leather goods. The Department of
Agriculture has published bulletins
dealing with the tanning of hides and
the care of leather shoes, harness,
belts. etc.-to make it wear longer.

in Spring Cleaning.

With the annual cleanup time at
hand, good use can be made of a good
quality Of whitewash. A standard re-
cipe for such, as recommended by Uni
versity farm people, is aa follows:
Stake one-half bushel of fresh lime
with boiling water, covering the re
ceptacle to keep in the steam. Strain
the liquid through a fine sieve, and add
seven pounds of fine salt, previously
dissolved in warm water three pounds
of ground rice, boiled to a thin paste
and stirred in; one pound of white
glue, soaked first in cold water until
swollen, then carefully melted over fire.
To this mixture add five gallons of
hot water and let it stand covered for
a few days before using.
