Must Increase Consumption.
The consumption of canned peas In
1919 was 1.3 cans per capita in 1924,
four cans per capita. There is no
doubt but that this consumption can
be considerably increased. Ii the
housewives of the Middle West will
use more peas In the diet, the threat
Of forced reduction Of pea acreage
in this section due to competition from
the Pacific Coast growers will be quite
largely eliminated.
The Wisconsin canning industry IL
feeling the inequality between compe
tition which involves water and rail
transportation. It costs Wisconsin
Gamers e6 cents a hundredWeight to
lay down their peas in carload lots in
New York city, whereas the potential
growers on the Pacific Coast can, by
the use of the water route, place their
product in this great consuming cen
ter at but 81 cents hundredWeight.
According to p. e. McNall agricul-
tural economist at the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture, if this competition
became sufficiently keen, the high In
terror freight rates would limit produc-
ton in the Great Lakes area, which
produces two-thirds of the nations
pea crop. The Great Lakes-St. Law
renee waterway would make possible
continuous waterway for the pro-
ducing area of the Middle West, and
would place them in position to COM
pete for the New York market by
water route. This water route would
reduce the cost Of sending peas to
New York to less than half Of the
present rate.
In the meantime the housewives OF
the Middle West should be encouraged
to use peas for their healthful quail
tiles and other valuable features. The
consumption can easily be raised II
the real value of the product is con-
sidered in purchasing for the family
table. Wisconsin's better peas should
be in the diet of every family, and
with the advances in grading and
quality, their appeal to the housewife
will be much stronger in the future.

Ventilation Necessary
for the BroOder House

Brooding houses should have enough
ventilation to prevent STIFFNESS or any
smell of gas from the heater, but as
they must be kept at the proper tenn
perature, too much ventilation in cold,
stormy weather will be injurious. The
usual method of ventilation is by low
ering the windows at the front and
opening small openings at the back I'M
der the rafters. Such methods nat
urally require pretty careful watching
in cold weather. In some cases the
fresh air is brought in through a floor
duct and admitted under the center of
the brooder, the impure air escaping
at top of windows or by an opening
under the rafters at the back. In any
case, the openings must be provided
with hampers so the ventilation can
be controlled.

Choice of Tractor
Depends on Needs
Several Suggestions Made
to Use as a Guide.

Before buying a tractor most farm
ers want to know what kind will meet
the need of their farms. Because Of
frequent requests from farmers for
help in this matter the engineering
staff at the New Jersey State College
of Agriculture. New Brunswick, has
drawn up group of suggestions which
may be used as a guide to prospective
buyers
!. Choose from the ranks of those
which have been tried by years Of use,
from the manufacturer who has local
representative with a stock of repair
parts near at hand.
2. A reasonable amount of service
should go with machine of this type.
See il your agent is in the habit Of
following up his sales to see that he
has satisfied customers.
3. A belt pulley controlled by fric-
ton clutch is usually desired. Study
the size and location of this pulley.
A. A mechanical governor is very
desirable for belt work.
5. At the. present price of gasoline
it is economical to have tractor that
will operate successfully on kerosene
at any load.
6. An air cleaner is essential to
long life of the engine if used in dusty
fields.
Z. A magnetic with an impulse
starter provides as nearly as possible
sure ignition and ease and safety in
cranking.
s. 1t is very important to see that
the tractor hitch and implement hitch
are suited to each other in height and
lateral adjustment.
8. Most working parts should be In
closed, and run in oil.
TO- A tractor pulling two-bottom
pillow would suit most New Jersey
farms on which a tractor can be profit
ably used Some might need a three
bottom outfit. Only few would re-
quire larger one.

MAKE FARM KITCHEN
HANDY WORKSHOP
Proper Arrangement Helps
Women to Do Things
Easily and Quickly.

"Come out of the kitchen" is what
the spring weather is really saying to
the farm woman But in order to do
this she must eagerly search fol new
ways to do things more quickly in
her workshop.
According to the Wisconsin depart
ment of home economics, those "tired
feelings which SO often come at the
end Of the day may be greatly reduced
by taking fewer steps in the kitchen
and more steps in enjoying the great
out-of-doors.
Homework is more pleasant If the
working surfaces are brought to the
height of the worker This applies
to such pieces Of furniture as the
work table, the sink, and the wood

Guard Against Bloating
With Sheen on Pasture

1t is necessary, Of course, to guard
against bloating when sheep are pas
tured on rape. The flock should be
introduced gradually to the succulent
forage, by first turning them on it
when they are rather well filed up
with dry hay. For the first few days
the sheep or lambs should be left in
the rape patch but short time. After
they become accustomed they will pas
ture it without danger except when
the leaves are wet, in which case it is
best to keep the flock out of the field
until the plants are dry. Immature
rape sometimes causes scours in
lambs. It is best turned in upon when
eight to ten inches high.

Poultry Notes

When chicks are perned keep grits,
oyster shell and sand before them all
the time. Pulverized charcoal, too,
should be in easy access, as 1t aids d.
gestion.
A runway covered with fencing wire
is a lot cheaper for chicks than to
lose them to attacks Of cats and other
enemies of chicks.
Many breeders will not undertake
to raise chicks without sour milk as
the first feed and continued right
along with the grain feeds.
Do you know how much net profit
your hens are returning? Farmers all
over the country are learning 1t is
worth the time they spend to keep a
close count on the eggs their hens
produce and the cost per dozen.
Geese should not be used for breed
ing purposes until they are two years
old. A gander may be used the first
season. Geese eggs may be Matched
in an incubator, but better results are
obtained by setting the eggs under
geese or hens. The eggs hatch in from
q to 80 days.

VitaminS Grown
in Our Gardens
Advantages Of Vegetables
for Family Needs and
Likes Are Many.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricullure)
Closely associated in our minds with
the vitamins they supply are the
vegetables that can be grown IN al
most any home garden-spinach, cab
bage, lettuce, carrots, string beans,
peas, rutabagas, tomatoes, all the
leafy vegetables known as greens,
and many Others We also obtain
necessary minerals from these vegefa-
bles-iron, calcium, phosphorus-ana
depend on them for bulk, or rough
age" But our first thought is apt to
be-vegetables for vitamins
Advantages of vitamins.
The advantages of growing vitamins
in our gardens are many and obvious.
To begin WITH there is the matter OF
freshness. No matter how near the
market may be to the home, 1t is
usually a long way from the farmer
who produced the vegetables Garden
products that have been carried over
dusty road, and perhaps exposed for
hours before they were sold, cannot
be compared in desirability of flavor
or condition with those just off the
vine or out OF the earth. The vitamin
content of vegetables is also dependent
to some extent upon freshness.
Again, when the vegetables are ac-
tually at hand in the garden, waiting
to be gathered, the chances are that
they will be used oftener, and in
larger quantities, than when some one
has to go to store to get them. The
price often influences the quantity
bought when the housekeeper goes to
market, but when she steps into her
garden she is apt to bring in as much
as she believes her family will con-
sumo
The convenience Of having a garden
frequently leads to beneficial change
in the proportions of the family diet.
Vegetables are served more abundant
ly because they are available, and they
satisfy the craving for bulk, lessening
the desire for other foods which may
lack the necessary vitamins. Almost
automatically the garden tends to in
crease the use of vegetables
The garden must of course, be care
fully planned so that it will yield an
adequate supply Of the kinds of vege-
tables the family likes and needs,
both for table use and for canning or
storing. If some sort of record is
kept from one year to the next to
show the quantity of each vegetable
grown and the use made of it, gar
den budget can be eventually worked
out.
Fruits Are Important.
Fresh fruits are also important
sources of vitamins, and should be
considered in connection with the
garden plan. Many orchard fruits and
berries grow well in all sections of the
country, and others are best suited to
certain localities. While the citrus
fruit s-oganges, lemons, grapefruit
are among the best sources Of vita
minis, Tomatoes are comparable with
citrus fruits as sources of vitamins,
and when the latter are lacking, toma-
to Juice, either fresh or canned, may
be used instead 1t goes without say
ing. therefore, that it is good thing
to include tomatoes in every garden
plan.

tiers so that 1t may be moved from
one place to another. A low work
table may be improved in the same
manner. 1t may be built to the cor
rect height by fitting small blocks Of
wood underneath the legs and finish
ing them to resemble the rest of the
table.
Equipment Saves Strength.
The use of a long-handled dustpan
IS advised for cleaning, since 1t makes
the housewife less tired after her
work is done.
A kitchen cart is a great step-saver
in carrying the dishes back and forth
from the table. A very successful
cart may be made by putting casters
on an old-fashioned washstand. A
molding may be tackled around the
top surface to- make the tray, and
the entire cart may be painted to
match the other kitchen or dining-room
furniture.
A shelf may be built over the work
table to hold cans of the most fire.

Catching Chickens
Helps in Culling
Best Way Is to Have Crates
With Wire Sides.

Catching the chickens is q large
part of the work involved in culling,
and experience shows that any help
In this direction is valuable. The best
way to catch chickens for culling, says
I'll. e. Botsford Of the New York State
College of Agriculture at Ithaca, is to
have one or more catching crates,
about four feet long, one and half
feet high, and two feet wide. The
crates should have wire sides and one
end should be removable. The crate
is placed where the birds leave the
henhouse and they are driven into 1t.
Another good method is to construct
a small catching pen outside of each
building where the birds are to be
caught, says Professor Botsford.
Drive four stakes into the ground.
one on either side Of the exit and the
the other two stakes four feet away,
each pair two feet apart. Join the
stakes, top and bottom, with narrow
strips of boards. Tack two-inch mesh
wire around the sides and outer end.
Fasten wire across the top leaving
one side free. The birds may then
be driven into the pen and caught
easily.
For work inside the house, he sug-
gested the following: Take ten or
twelve feet of poultry wire five or six
feet high, and fasten strip Of one-by-
two-inch material at each end. Fasten
several pieces of two-by-four about
three feet long to the bottom of the
wire. Nail one end to the wall five
feet from a corner. The other end is
swung out into the room, and twenty
five or thirty birds can easily be
rounded up and passed to the cutler.

Great as Soil Builder

Alfalfa stands in the front ranks
among the crops which build up the
fertility of the soil. Farmers who
have grown it report that they get
much higher yields of grain and other
crops on land which has been in
alfalfa than on land where no le-
guminous crop has been grown. In
the farming sections where no lime
needs to be added to the soil and it
is easy to get stand, alfalfa may
readily be made part of definite
system of crop rotation.

Glover Improves Soil

Sweet clover is very good crop to
improve the land. That is, where
sweet clover grows well. It will not do
well on acid or sour soil unless the
soil is lined. Better crops of grain
or corn can be expected after a good
crop of sweet clover. 1t is not difficult
to get rid of sweet clover. Buckwheat
is a good crop to plow under to i'm
prove the soil, but not nearly so good
as sweet clover because it is not a
legume.

drying dishes is often more sanitary
than wiping them. The rack for dry
ing dishes may be bought, or it may
be made at home from soft wire and
fitted into a large dripping or other
shallow pan. After the dishes are
washed, they may be scalded and al
lowed to dry in the rack. Since such
a rack may be removed after using,
the pan may be used for cooking pur-
poses between times.
No kitchen is complete without a
crest corner" 1t may consist of mere
ly an easy chair, small table, and a
shelf on which a few books are kept.
Here the housewife may rest and
read while she is waiting for the din
ner to finish browning in the oven, or
the iron to heat. A kitchen stool will
make it possible for her to rest while
doing many kitchen duties.

Hogp-ing Off Barley

While there would be some waste
in hogging off barley and while the
hogs would not make as efficient use
of it as they would if it were har-
vested, threshed and ground, the time
saved in getting the cheaper feed, and
the labor and expense Of harvesting
saved, probably would make up for
any waste and loss from this method
of feeding. This, of course, applies
only to the small patch grown TO:
early feed.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-06-04
Sand Supplies Grit

Cover the brooder floor with sand
and then several inches Of chaff from
the clover NOW. DO not have dust in
the chaff, but the fine particles Of the
clover heads and straws. This gives
the chicks something to scratch in
to hunt for their grain feed. DO not
use sawdust on the brooder floor, as
the chicks are apt to eat this and
cause trouble. The sand is good for
them, as it supplies grit so necessary
in digestirg their feed.

Rape on Sour Soils

When land is too sour to grow
clover or alfalfa, one of the best for
age crops for hogs that can be grown
is rape. While rape will grow on poor
sour soils, it will not grow as much
forage as it will on good sweet rich
land; but it will most likely pay to
grow some of it for hogs. 1t would
probably make more growth if you
would pillow the land first, and then
work it down well with disk before
sowing the rape

Clean Land for Alfalfa

Plant alfalfa on clean, cultivated
land. This means corn or potato land
A clean firm, moist seeded is essen
tial to success, and clean corn or po-
tato land gives these essentials in
practical way. Fall-plowed grain-stub-
Bile land, we'll firmed in the spring, can
be made into a good seeded for al.
falfa. Spring-p1owed stubble land is
the last choice. If it is necessary to
use such land, pillow early, pack well,
and seed a little later than usual.

URGES HIGHER RATING
FOR PEAS IN DIET
Increased Consumption Of
Peas Aids Wisconsin
to Hold Lead.

Ivy Gate Bears they
Wisconsin peas They did this be-
cause peas are a source Of health and
energy.
Canned vegetables are a source of
vitamins for the human ration.
Canned peas fulfill this requirement,
and besides they furnish bulk to the
diet, mineral salts, and they are val
liable in regulating the body activi-
ties. The studies of DR.. Walter e..
Eddy of Columbia university serve
as basis for this information.
For these reasons canned peas are
deserving a more important place in
the diet. When housewives and cooks

Peas Contain Vitamins.
"Vitamins, as everyone knows" says
DR. e. f. Holman of the research
laboratory of the National Gamers
association, fare one of the valuable
parts of our diet" Canned peas are
rich in vitamins A, B, 9. The peas
are believed to be more nutritious
when canned in the immature stage.
The immature peas contain something
which is lost in the process of ripen-
Ing. 1t has been proven that vitamins
A and B are practically unaffected by
the canning process. Although some
of vitamin c is lost in the canning
process, there is no further loss after
the peas have been canned.
Since raw vegetables cannot be OBJ
tanned in many parts of the country
for varying periods of time, it Is Of
very great Importance that canned

Way to Raise Chicks

RurQue university gives Tic
following points for the proper
raising and brooding Of chicks:
Matching only from mature,
selected, brood-tested males and
females.
Brooding chicks with a hard
coal stove in a portable brooder
house on new disease free soil.
Reducing brooder temperature
from 100 degrees Cat edge Of
hover) after the firsa week as
rapidly as the comfort of chicks
permits.
Getting chicks out on the
ground when week old even
though weather is chilly.
Giving nothing to drink but
skim milk, buttermilk or semi
solid for at least the first month.
Giving no feed or drink till
chicks are 48 hours old. For
the first few days it Is safest to
feed only the finely cracked
chick grains giving only what Is
cleaned up in about twenty
minutes.
Giving no mash the first five
days. After this start gradual
~ on mash, always preceding the
mash with a grain feed to pre-
vent overlooking on the mash.
Placing chicks on full mash
feed after the second week and
reducing at same time grain
feeds to only two or three times
per day.

Pears Gaining in Favor

Pears are now a year-around fruit
in the market and growing slowly in
favor as fresh fruit while their pop
ularity as a canned fruit for use in
various desserts is increasing steadily.
The pear has an interesting history as
it invaded the United States from the
northeast and southwest corners of
the country in the days of the early
settlers.

Collecting Rroomsticks

This is a good time to start collect
ing broomsticks from all your neigh
bors. They are ideal stakes for heavy
growing plants. Grab anything that
looks like neat stake and store 1t,
for stakes never come amiss In the
growing season and usually there is
dearth of them when they are most
needed. Stout stakes for tomatoes
will be needed.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1925-06-04
Get Chicks on Ground

Get the chicks out on the ground
as soon as you can. Even while the
weather is cool, let them have access
to the grass and ground, but provide
a runway so they can hurry back to
the brooder stove when they get cold.
Chicks will come to the heat when
necessary if the runway is opened for
them.
