Federal Meat
Inspection

In order that people generally may
better understand its meaning OF the
purple stamps used in meat inspection
the United States Department of Agri
culture has just issued Miscellaneous
Circular No. 63-M, entitled 1.-THE In
spection Stamp as a Guide to Whole
some Meat"
Members of the Cowlitz county
sheep club have made application for
registration on eight Hampshire
lambs raised by club members this
spring. The sheep include four ewes
and four rams, owned by five boys
and girls living in Castle Rock,
The Federal Government has no
supervision over establishments which
confine their business to the state
where the animals are killed, such con
Germs being under state control. Cities
can also supervise meats sold within
their limits, just as they inspect local
milk supplies. A large proportion of
meat establishments do an interstate
business, and about two-thirds of all
animals slaughtered in the United
States are federally inspected.
The present export trade in Ameri-
can meats, according to the circular,
is possibly largely because the Fed
eral inspection system enjoys the con-
fldence Of foreign governments.
Federal inspection of animals is
made before and after slaughter. If
the inspector sees an animal that
looks sick or abnormal in any other
way, he tags 1t with a metal label fast
ened to the ear, the tag reading either
~. S. Condemned or "U. S. Suspect"
depending on how serious the ailment
Is. II condemned the animals so
tagged must not be taken into the
slaughter room. Animals whose con-
dition is merely doubtful are kept
apart and slaughtered separately from
other animals.
The circular, which is written in
popular story form, gives numerous
details relative to the Federal inspec.
ton service. A copy of the publica-
ton may be obtained free, as long as
the supply lasts, by writing to the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, Washington, D. C.

Use Milk in Pastry Making


Although pastry making has been
generally considered as one of the
most difficult culinary tasks, there
is much being learned to remove this
old notion The idea that one must
have ice water, and that water is the
only permissible liquid; that pastry
should be handled very, very little, or
the pastry would be ruined is found
to really not be requisite by those
who have done considerable work on
the problem. In fact, after the fat
has been worked in carefully (avoid
hard squeezing and slow rubbing in
of fat) the pastry must be stirred
some when the liquid Is added or
there will not be the desired even
blending of the ingredients. The use
of milk as part of the liquid also gives
quality of tenderness to crust that
water alone cannot give and, best Of
all, pie crust with milk acquires a
more beautiful color than water
crust. Four cups OF pastry flour, /
cup hard fat, tsp. salt, tbsp evap-
Grated milk diluted with 7 tbsp. water
are the ingredients necessary to make
large single crusts which will have
qualities to please the most exacting.

At Chicago, recently a number Of
women from farm homes gathered to
discuss their problems, needs and as
pirations. One of the questions dis
cussed was, What do farm women
Want?" Naturally 1t developed that
they want practically the same things
that women in urban communities
want, and they decided that it was the
business Of farm women to get advan-
tages for farm people and for farm
children Of the United States. They
concluded that there was need of a
better teaching staff for country
schools and of a better curriculum, one
which would give to farm children
wider opportunities to prepare for life

One of the notable developments
recently in the manufacture of foun-
tain pens has been the change to the
use of pyralin for the barrel of the
pen. Some Of the largest fountain
pen manufacturers in the country are
now using this pyroxylin plastic. 1t
is being produced in many attractive
colors.
Extraordinary tests have been
made to show It's ability to Withstand
rough usage. In one case manu-
facturer ran heavy fire truck over
barrel and cap made of pyralin
without cracking it. Other tests
have been made such as dropping the
material from great height. The
pyralin used for caps and barrels has
a resistance, 1t is claimed, of 800
pounds per square inch.

SECURE LADYBUGs TO EAT
APHlDs IN DAT FIELD

Five thousand ladybugs purchased
from Wenatchee were liberated this
year in an oat field at Hollywood
Farm, where there was severe infes-
tation of aphids. The aphids soon
disappeared and it is thought that
this natural enemy of the aphids is
probably the most economical means
of controlling them on field crops.
busting with calcium cyanide gave as
high as 80 per cent control, but the
expense Of application is considered
too great for crop such as oats.

UPKEEP PER FREIGHT CAR in 1925 ONLY $I55

Analysis Shows 1t to Be the Most Eco
of Goods in tn
@HE most economical unit for the
II transportation of goods in the
United States is the freight car. A
glutton for work, this beast of burden
is at the same time the cheapest to
keep in good running condition. This
is partly the result of the inherent adj
vantages of steam transportation-as
compared with other forms-and part
ly a tribute to the competence of rail-
road management.
In the maintenance of it's cars and
locomotives, the railroad performs one
of it's great unseen services for mod
ern society. The Bureau of Railway
Economics recently made an analysis
Of these expenditures for the year
1925.
This shows that in 1925 the rail-
roads had to spend $155 per freight
car to keep it in running order; $1,552
per passenger car; and $7,O23 per To-
connective. These expenditures seem
small enough in themselves; the main
tenance of freight car, for instance,
costing hardly more than set of tires
for good automobile. Yet, multiplied
by the 100000 freight cars on the
Class l railroads of the country it
means an expenditure of $372,141,252

So much has been written about
food during the last few years that
anything more may seem superfluous,
but superfluous only to those who do
not understand the real gist Of the
matter-the purpose underlying all
this writing-which is to try to estab-
lish physically better race of men
and women than we are at the present
time.
For three generations, at least, the
human race has been deteriorating
physically. Eyes, teeth, hair, bones,
nails-in fact every part which goes
to make up our physical architecture
has gdeteriorated. We do not possess
the stamina our forefathers enjoyed
that is speaking generally. There are
many individuals who are perfect
specimens of humanity because they
have happened to eat the right food
to make them perfect specimens. I'm
fortunately these perfect specimens of
manhood and womanhood are few and
far between.
While youth lasts imperfections do
not show up so perceptibly, but when
middle age approaches so many fall
down with a dull sickening thud. The

which five women of middle age, dur
ing the last two years, have each I'M

when they ought to be in their prime.
It took years and years to educate
the public to eat the wrong things
years of advertising the refined
foods" prepared to tickle the palate,
but deprived of those vitamines with
out which the body gradually loses
its power and does not renew the en-
ergy used up in every effort that is
made, and does not build up the grow
ing body making it able to resist the
attacks made upon it by all kinds of
diseases
This building up commences before
a child is born, SO if the mother does
not eat the right kind of food to nour-
ish herself her baby will not be prop
erly nourished. This is such a vital
question that just as the improper
foods have been advertised for years
until the public has been educated by
this advertising to think they are the
foods par excellence" so the proper
foods must be advertised until it is
realized that 1--WE are what we eat"
And If the vital force has been gradu-
ally refined out of the food that has
been thrust upon us, we must take a
stand and follow the advice of those
who know by scientific research and
demonstration what foods are really
necessary to give us health and
strength.
We can fill our stomachs to reple-
ton and feel satisfied for the time
being, but the food we have eaten may
not have grain of those vitamines
necessary to nourish our bodies; we
carry a load in our stomachs which
depletes our vitality instead of adding
to that vitality, which we might do
with every mouthfrl we eat when the
food is nourishing.
