Spezia, Italy.-Earthquakes need no
longer cause loss of life, according to
Professor Caselli, seismologist, who
claims to have constructed an appa-
ratus, already patented, whereby
earthquakes are announced at least Is
minutes before they occur.
The scientist also claims to be able,
with very slight possibility of error. to
locate beforehand the centers of tel
luric phenomena, their intensity and
the situation of their most intense
manifestations.

with a notary here some time In adj

OUR HOUSEHOLD


onions, green peppers and celery
stalks: slice thinly a pint of okra
if you have it, and cook in water
enough to cover it. Then add one
peck Of ripe tomatoes that have been
cut up.
Cook till all are tender-from As
minutes to an hour-then add the
corn, cut from dozen, or less, ears
of sweet corn, first scoring the
kernels down the middle; scrape ev-
cry bit of the pulp from the ear.
Season with the salt, sugar and
cayenne and cook just ten minutes
after it begins to boil after the corn
| has been added. When served add
a bit Of butter.
Red sweet peppers for salads and
for garnishing, are simply canned by
the open kettle method. Open the
| peppers and remove the seeds, boil
two minutes, put in ice water two
minutes, and pack closely in jars.
Boil one pint of vinegar and one
cupful of sugar five minutes and
pack peppers. Pal at once.
Speed, dizziness, the rapid boiling
of the product, and sterilization by
heat of all utensils used are the Sc
open kettle method.
In this, as in other ways of can,
ming, as l have often told you, l al
ways invert the jars, and do not let
them touch, and leave them a few
days. If there is a place for the
air to get in you will discover it,
and can open, reheat, and put in a
new jar, or find what is wrong with
that one. I sometime find a jar that
the top does not fit. 1t seemed to
fit till 1 got it filled and I take some
paraWaX and seal it. Such jars must
be among the first use.
Sometimes, just as I am ready to
put what I call "a short meal on
the table / decided that there must
be something just a little different,
and 1 take the leftover biscuit
dough that [ always keep on hand,
and roll out as thin as for pie crust,
cut in strips and cook in hot fat,
just as you would cook doughnuts.
For breakfast they are appetizing
with a tart jelly, or new mOlaSSeS.
F'iIlies biscuits. Prepare the dough
as for the regular biscuits roll thin
and cut with biscuit cutter. Brush
the top with melted butter, spread
any sort of jam, or jelly, put an
other on it and bake in quick oven.
In winter, Or early spring, I slice
sausage thin and put it between the
biscuits.

FARM EDUCATION
BY DIR. ANDREW M. SOULE

north Georgia is one made UP pr1-
marily of italian rye grass, blue
grass, and Dutch clover. For my
own lawn, I use a mixture conssE-s
ing of fifteen pounds of Italian rye
grass, ten pounds Of blue grass and
five pounds of Dutch clover. In
this climate, 1 find seeding every
fall is necessary Italian rye grass
will cost about fifteen cents a
pound, blue grass, thirty cents a
pound, and Dutch clover sixty cents
a pound. It is not much use to
put seed Of this character on a gall
|, ed, clay hill side. The first thing
is to enrich this land materially.
We would advise an application OF
several hundred pounds of air
slaked lime. Then we would cover
the ground to a depth of several
inches with well rotted yard manure.
Mix this material thoroughly in the
surface soil. The next thing Is to
prevent any erosion. After this is
done, several pounds Of the mixture
Indicated may be sown on your land.
About 60 pounds of seed should be
use per acre. From this you will
/ be able to determine the amount
/ needed for your individual lawn.

Controlling Depradations by Rats

Controlling Depradations by Rats
J. G. j., Yatesville, Ga,
writes: The rats are taking my
place; they are killing my little
chickens and eating up my corn.
The place is simply overrun
with them. I have tried to pois-
on them but they doA not seem
to eat it. Your advice on how
to destroy them will be appre-
ciated.
Fighting rats is one of the most
difficult problems confronting the
human race. In spite Of all the eff
forts made to control rats great sue
cess in combating them has never
been achieved. The rat is a partlcu-
larly sensitive, and in many respects
a wonderfully smart and suspicious
creature. On that account he avoids
poisons and traps with great sue
cess.
In fighting this pest there are
two or three things to which you
should give attention. First of all,
remove all trash piles, ricks OF
straw Or other material in which
they can find a nesting place. The
buildings on the farm should be
made as nearly rat-proof as posi-
BILE. This may call for some expen-
diture Of time and money but you
cannot accomplish the destruction
of this pest unless this is done.
Grain and provisions for both mar
and beast should be kept in rat-proof
structures. a good rat dog is a fine
investment and will enable you to
y oydts IL CHI n
destruction. There are three or four
methods which you might follow:
first, trapping; second, poisoning,
and third, organized hunts.
White arsenic is one of the most
effective poisons to use. Take a
pound of oatmeal, a pound of coarse
brown sugar, and a spoonful of arse
mic. Mix well together and put the
composition into an earthen jar.
Place a tablespoonful in the runs
most frequented by the rats.
For trapping, all sorts of devices
may be used. Half barrel with a
board set up against it constitutes
a good device. 1t should be filled
about half-full Of water and the sur
face covered with cotton seed. The
rats run up the board and jump
into the water and are naturally
drowned.
