Sheep as Scavengers

The sheep has been termed the
"plant scavenger" of the farm. In
fact, there are only a few of the
weeds he will not eat during the early
stage Of his growth, and yet 1t must
be remembered, say specialists at
South Dakota state college, that the
cured grasses must be Of choice quail
ity to secure the best results in feed
ing operations. Less permanent pas
ture is required for the sheep during
the season than for any other farm
animal.

Exercise for Colts

With no class of animals is exer-
else Of more Importance than with
colts. A certain amount of exercise
Is essential to health and thrift. 1t
increases the appetite and stimulates
digestion. Young animals grow much
better If they have exercise. Further
more, horses are raised for the power
they can deliver. They are valuable
for their strength. Strength of muscles
Is greatly increased by exercise, there
fore see that the colts get plenty.

Honey and Sugar Sirup

Honey or homemade mixture Of
honey and sugar strip can be satisfac-
torily used FOR sweetening lemonade
and other fruit drinks. Sirup of any
kind is more convenient for this pur-
pose than undissolved sugar, and
when charged water Is to be added It
has a further advantage since it has
less tendency to expel the gas. 1t Is
the custom of many housewives to
keep homemade strip for this pur-
pose, and variety can be obtained by
occasionally using honax.

NUMBER OF WAYS
FOR USING NUTS
Select With Care to AUoid
Too Rich Combination.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In suggesting a number of ways In
which nuts may appear on the table,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture reminds the housekeeper
that nuts are rich in fat and that the
other ingredients Of meal at which
nuts are used should be selected with
care to avoid too rich a combination
of foods. The term kernel" is pre-
ferred to nut meats" in speaking of
the shelled nuts. Nuts bought al
ready shelled should be looked over
carefully for small pieces of shell,
then washed and dried in the oven
before being used.
Nuts are good in almost any kind
Of a sandwich, and when the school
lunch is a problem, a filling of
chopped-nut kernels with raisins,
dates, figs or prunes, will prove So
luton. Nuts and olives go well to-
gether in sandwiches, nuts with cot
tage or cream cheese, and nuts with
maple or plain brown sugar. 1t is a
good plan to keep a jar Of shelled
nuts on the emergency shelf for these
and other uses. Peanut butter as a
sandwich filling is familiar to every
one. It can be made at home by put
ting the roasted shelled nuts through
the meat grinder, and then stirring in
enough cream or melted butter to
make q smooth haste
A cream cheese ball can be rolled
In chopped nuts and served as an &C
cessory to almost any kind of salad.
Celery stalks stuffed with nuts and
cheese are often used In a similar
way. A few nuts in fruit, aspic,
or vegetable salad are a distinct inn
provement Even In a potato salad
they add an unusual touch. Boiled
chestnut kernels make an excellent
salad. When Persian walnut kernels
are used In salad or for other pur-
poses, In the raw condition, the little
dark spot at the center Of the kernel
should be removed as it has bitter
taste.
Nut breads of various kinds never
lose their popularity. The cakes and
cookies with nuts mixed into them
or used on top or ia the filling, are
too numerous to describe. Nuts may
be used In many substantial dishes
and desserts and In CONNECTIONS OF
all sorts

What Tomorrow Means to You

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are

come favorable and remain 50 for the
balance Of THE day. Yhe morning

some unless great self-cOntroi Is eXer-

occa sion that is propitiOus for love af-
fairs. as the omens indicate that emo
tions will be deeply stirred.
Children born tomorrow will during
infancy enjoy normal health, although
they will not show any signs of physl-
cal exuberance. Early in their teens
they will be subjected to one or more
serious ailments. These will cause
worry. but need no.. OF course, II

Acid Fruits: Acid Stomach.

A question came TO me from Miss
B. F. which is repeated so often that
It is worth answering here IN fult.
"I have an acid stomach and should
avoid ecids Will YOU please give me
a list of fruits which ii" not contain
acids" asks Miss H. +.
1t is impossible TO give a list or
fruits which do not contain acids. All
fruits contain organic acids - mailc
acid in apples. pears and fruits oi that
class: taltaric acid i'll grapes: clIrlc
acid in oranges. lemons. etc. Though
oranges and lemons taste sour when
eaten. their reaction in the hodN Is
alkaline. The reason for TINS Is that
the acids of fruits are present in com
bination With the alkalis. soda anu
potash. The organic acids OF fruits
are quickly burned in the body ana
the residue of soda and potash are
left. The real effect of food acids Is
to alkalinize the blood and tissue
fluids.
Years ago sufferers from rheuma-
tism were forbidden to eat acid fruits
in an effort to prevent An excessive
acid condition. II is now known that
this was barking up the wrong Tree.
The foods which in digestion are like
" to cause fermentation ana produce
an acid condition are the ones surfer
the food which is so likely TO cause
fermentation when eaten is that very
sweet-taStine food. cane sugar. strange
as il seems. sweet tasting cane sugar
can cause an acid condition IN the
body Acid tasting fruits cause "a
'sweetening" process in the body.
Now. when Miss Is. r. speaks of hay
ing an acid stomach. she means she
has IN excessive acid condition. or hN-
pera cidity Of the stomach. The nat
ural acid present In the healthy
stomach during digestion is hydro
chloric acid. This is a very powerful
acid when bought at the drug store.
