their order to stop. Then Christian
threw his club. Stunned by the blow

machine and it came to STOP The
policemen took Hendrix to the Emer-

DIVIDE KITCHENS INTO
THREE SEPARATE UNITS
Supplies, Stove and Sink Hold the
Pivotal Positions

The, kitchen OF greatest convenience
to the housewife is arranged in three
separate units, says Gladys Gallup, ex-
tension specialist in home manage
ment, These are the supply unit, the
stove unit, and the sink unit. The
proper arrangement of supplies and
equipment within these units will save
the housewife many steps in preparing
a meal and clearing away afterward.
The supply and stove units should
be grouped fairly close together but
it is more necessary to have all sup
plies and mixing surfaces grouped
than to try to crowd the stove too
near 1t requires fewer steps to take
things to the stove than to put them
together.
Such mixing supplies as flour, sugar
and condiments should be grouped
near the mixing table surface where
the mixing bowlos, utensils and baking
dishes should also be found. The cool
er, refrigerator or cold closets for the
storage of eggs, lard, milk, etc, used
in cooking should also be placed near
this group.
Materials such as cereals. coffee, tea,
and salt and pepper shakers which are
needed only at the stove and the cof-
fee and tea pot and frying pans should
be stored in shelves near the stove
The sink unit should include such
utensils and materials as the dishpan,
dish drainer, washing powder, soap
and dish towels. Dishes should be
stored at the left OF the sink and
above the left drain-board if possible
Sauce pans and double boilers may
also be stored near the sink as they
are filled with water there.
AS each kitchen is different, no set
rule can be made for arranging these
different units, but each housewife
should study each step in the process
of getting a meal WITH the idea of
changing the kitchen equipment to
more convenient places if necessary.

DAIRY COW EXCELs
IN FARM EFFICIENCY
Makes Best Return for Feed of All
Farm Animals

Livestock are the animal machines
by means of which the farmer con-
verts the rough feeds grown on his
place into edible human food OF all
these machines, the dairy COW has
been found the most efficient, says
Roy G. Jones, former extension dairy
specialist There are, however, de-
grees of efficiency among dairy COWS
In comparison with other farm ami
mails, from 100 pounds of digestible
matter consumed, the dairy COW re-
turns 139 pounds of milk or market
able product containing 10 pounds OF
edible solids. The pig is next in eff
cheney, returning 25 pounds of mar
ketable product and 1876 pounds OF
edible solids per 100 pounds disgestible
nutrients consumed. From these two
products, the returns taper down
through cheese, veal, butter, eggs,
dressed poultry lamb, beef and NUT
ton, wit hthe latter returning only 7
pounds of marketable product and 80
pounds of edible solids for each 100
pounds of digestible matter eaten.
Although the dairy COW easily leads
all farm animals in ability to convert
the crops of the field into human food,
the farmer may be losing money on
his COWS. Efficient individual COWS are
the basis of profitable dairying. In
testing the efficiency of various COWS,
tho yVicnn,cir U'vparip,a,t Ctatio,,
found that COWS giving 26.5 pounds of
milk daily ate 1902 pounds of dry mat
ter for each 100 pounds of milk pro-
duced, those giving 21.5 pounds daily
ate 119 pounds of dry matter for each
100 pounds OF milk while those giving
Is pounds daily required 149 pounds
of dry matter to produce 100 pounds
OF milk. The amount of butterfat con-
tanned in the milk is also determin-
ing factor and depends upon the cow
The market price that a COW will re-
turn for feed and care is directly in
proportion to her producing ability,
says Mr.. Jones.
The efficiency of the dairy COW in
some districts does not mean that
there is nc place for other forms of
livestock. for there are large areas
where beef cattle, sheep or hogs be-
come more profitable. Whatever the
situation, feeding some form of live
sock on the farm has great bearing
on soil fertility conservation which is
really the big problem of the farmer.
