Pineapple Pulp Good
Feed for Dairy Cattle

Cows eat pineapple pulp with great
relish and with apparently no bad
effects. A preliminary test was re-
Gently conducted by E. V. Ellington,
head Of the department of dairy hus.
bandry at the State College, to de-
termine the value of pineapple pulp
as a source of succulence for dairy
cattle.
Pineapple pulp, or bran as it is
sometimes called, is a by-product of
the pineapple canning industry and is
composed of the cores and portions
of the outer coats. During the test
chemical analyses were made of
samples of pineapple pulp, beet pulp,
sunflower silage and corn silage.
The results of the feeding of pulp
and sunflower silage seemed to in
dictate that there was no material eff
feet upon the milk flow and fat pro.
duction. AS far as palatability was
concerned the cows ate pineapple
pulp with greater relish after they
had a few tastes of it. At no time
during this test was there either pine
apple or sunflower silage left in the
manager.
Further work is being projected
with the pineapple pulp.

Milk Products Valuable
AS Food for Poultry


The efficiency and value of milk
and milk products as food for poul-
try is rapidly being realized, accord
ing to L. w. Cassel, assistant pro-
fessor of the poultry department at
the State College Of Washington.
In many poultry districts where a
constant and economical supply can
be obtained, the poultryman can use
milk in one of it's commercial forms
as it Is sold upon the market; notably
skim milk powder, dried buttermilk
and condensed or semi-solid butter
milk.
1t is fully appreciated by most poul-
trynlen that the common and eco
nomical grains and by-products which
are used in making up our poultry
rations are poor in the essential
nutrient, called protein, which is
necessary for the building Of tissue
and muscles as we'll as the produc-
ton Of eggs. To enable the fowl to
grow and lay it becomes necessary
to supplement our grain rations with
additional protein material and all
experimental data shows that this
protein material should be from an
animal source to produce the most
efficient production and growth.
All milk products are excellent
sources for the necessary mineral
elements which maintain. an i'm
portant relation to all vital processes
and enter into the composition of
tissue and fluids of the body. Vita
mines which are necessary in the
diet to prevent deficiency diseases
are found in milk to a great extent,
which means that milk and its prod
ucts act as protective food.

Some Better Things in Farm Life
In Washington" is the title of a new
bulletin from the experiment station
press Of the State College. The bull
letin deals with the agricultural set
ting for farm life in Washington, the
types Of homes in the state, rural
communities, rural schools, churches,
and farmers organizations.
1--WE are now well agreed that farm
life. must be measured by the kind
of b on 9 s.. communities, schools,
churches, farmers organizations and
opportunities for association and rec
reation that rural people have. says
DR.. Fred R. Yoder, author of the bull
letin, who visited large number of
the progressive communities in the
state and gave careful study to what
is going on in them.
at is thru these institutions and
associations that farm people get the
best satisfaction of life," Says. DR..
Yoder. Farm life is satisfying just
to the extent that farm people have
good, comfortable, we'll equipped
homes; neighborly, united, cooperat-
ing communities; modern efficient
schools that prepare students for in
telligent citizenship and prosperous
life; friendly and attractive churches
that satisfy the fellowship and spir-
itual needs Of the people; wide
awake farmers organizations that
promote the welfare interests Of
farmers; and wholesome associations
and recreation for the use of leisure
time. All these things taken together
constitute measuring stick for rural
life. When rural communities have
all or most of these advantages, rural
life is pleasant and happy, and men
and women find just as much and
often more satisfaction living on
farms than in towns and cities. The

BISCUITS WITH SWEET
MILK OR SOUR

When a housekeeper finds herself
with a tried and trusted recipe for
biscuits, or cake, or cookies, that calls
for sour milk and soda and she has
only sweet milk and baking powder
on hand, or vice versa, the following
rule may be used for substituting,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture:
When proportions are given in
terms of sweet milk and baking pow
der, an equal quantity of sour milk
may be substituted and enough soda
used approximately. to neutralize the
acid, or scant half teaspoon for each
cup of sour milk. In the case of thin
batters the soda and sour milk gen.
orally furnish enough leavening, but
for thick batters or coughs baking
powder is usually needed in addition.
When sweet milk is to be used in
place of sour. baking powder is sub
stituted for all of the soda in the pro-
portion of teaspoons of baking pow
der for l teaspoon of soda If no other
acid ingredient such as molasses is
used. If such an acid ingredient is
used, as in gingerbread, some soda
is required.

because of it's acid proof qualities,
will not darken the color Of the rhu-

add one teaspoonful of almond extract
and one-half teaspoonful of vanilla.
Let it get cold and service plain or

roads motor drives and picnics again
become part of the regular routine.
Now is the time to overhaul the lun-

enameled ware for this basket, which
shall be used for nothing else.
Enameled ware is not only light and
easily cleaned, but it is not liable to
the breakage which so readily occurs
out of doors. Then it means much
saving in time in the preparation of
lunch if all the implements are at
hand and do not have to be hunted up.

$4,000 Farmers Writ e
to w. S. C. During Year


The immense scope of the actiyi-
ties of the agricultural department
and the extension service at the State
College is shown by the fact that
more than $4,000 letters year from
farmers, their wives and others in
terested in agriculture, are answered
by them.
The extension service alone wrote
more than 10000 such letters last
year, some of them going to such
countries as India, Egypt, New South
Wales and other more remote places
of the world. A total of 36,015 let
tiers were answered by agricultural
agents during 1925 and the extension
service sent bulletins covering such
subjects as home economics and
agriculture to all parts of the globe.
County agents of the state had
44,994 office calls during the past
year. Farmers brought their specific
problems of agricultural production
and marketing, and any aid that
could be extended along these lines
was readily proffered.
Many problems of the farmer are
solved by these various agencies
which go directly to the farms and
extend help in practical way. Dur
ing 1925 total of 1923 farms were
visited and demonstrations we're
made to groups Of Is and 80 farmers
on numerous occasions.
The division of agriculture and the
main experiment station at the State
College write an average of 100 let
tiers day. Bulletins are published,
and articles on poultry and nutrition,
which are especially in demand, have
been circulated. The scope Of the
activities of these departments has
increased 300 per cent since 1920 and
their service to the farmers Is reach
ing a proportion Of immense impor
lance.

Wood In Everything.

Forest trees supply us with wood
one of the most necessary and indis-

no material more widely used in the
construction and furnishing of our
homes, says Tree Habits" by the
American Nature Association. We
cannot get along without 1t. We use
1t every day Of our lives. When we
write our names, read our paper, put
on our near-silk hose, or smoke our
pipe, and when we take aspirin or
quinine, go to the movie, play the
photograph record, or use the radio
phone; when we paint our houses,
light the fire, or varnish the floor, d.
rectly or indirectly we come in contact

There is a story about an aged king
who used to worry over the problem
of how apples got inside apple dump
lings. This is nothing compared to
the problem of how telephone cable
gets inside its lead covering.
There is no mystery, however, even
to this question at the telephone fac
tory of the Western Electric Com
pany at Chicago, or the new plant at
Kearny, New Jersey, just outside New
York. First, of course, the core Of
the cable is made, first by insulating
copper wires with paper and twisting
them into pairs, and then by stranding
the pairs together in a highly accurate
and Ito the outsider) highly COM

The core is then dried in vacuum
ovens heated to about ESQ degrees
Fahrenheit until the moisture in the
paper insulation has been driven out.

Of moisture In the paper Insulation

Spring brings with it the opportun-
1ty for the housewife to exercise her
ingenuity in providing her household
with vegetable substitutes for the
ordinary meat dishes. Here, for
example, is a lima bean loaf. Use
one cup of dried lima beans. Put to
soak over night. In the morning
drain and cook in boiling water slow
ly until the beans are tender, but
have not lost their shape. Drain them
in an enameled ware colander Melt
two and one-half tablespoonfuls OF
butter, and into that stir two and one
half cups Of bread crumbs: me
crumbs should be taken from the
soft part of the bread, not from the
crust Add one tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley and one-quarter of
tablespoon Of powdered sage; also
one and one-quarter teaspoons of salt.
Beat three eggs and mix with the
beans. Stir in the bread crumb mix
ture. Have ready an enameled ware
breadpan we'll buttered. This will
turn out quite solid and can be sliced
as one would veal loaf.
The appearance Of rhubarb in her
garden reminds the housewife that
she must see about her enameled
ware preserving kettle-the only
utensil' she can use in cooking
rhubarb.
If the housewife means to pre-
serve rhubarb for winter use, she
should use it when it first comes out.
We are all apt to think Of the rhu-
barb at first as fresh vegetable to
be eaten at once and to leave the pre-
serving until we have grown tired Of
the stewed form. The later-grown
rhubarb is harder, much more acid
