AGRICULTURE NEWS NOTES
(By County Agent I'll. F.. Eaton)
Poultry Pays Under Proper
Management

OF PA farmers in the state keep
ing the past year, 16 lost money,
66 made from one cent to $1.00 per
bird, 101 made from $1.00 to $500
per bird, % made between $500
and $500 per bird, and made more
than $500 per bird. These records
were kept during a period when
low prices for eggs and poultry en-
abled only the most efficient mango

Modern furniture Is like certain
modern young women-very effective
and agreeable with the right back
ground and the right associates, but
likely to cause embarrassment and con-
fusion with companions of an older
fashioned sort and against a back
ground not specially planned.
So If most of your friends are trifie
Victorian you will probably not ask
your very modern young friend to drop
in any time she feels inclined, and If
most of your furniture is of the tradi-
tional sort, then you will take your en-
joyment of modern furniture in looking
at 1t in the house or apartment of some
one else.
Skilliul interior decorator to mix mod
but this indicates the high craft of
the decorator rather than the general
adaptability of the furniture. There
have been rooms that combined en-
pire and directoire furniture with mod
ern furniture with charming results.
Modern furniture has been combined
with less ornate Chinese pieces with
results that were quite satisfactory But
generally speaking, modern furniture
simply doesn't mix.
Actually one need not have a very
large room in order to get good effect
from furniture of the modern sort.
To be sure pieces that are worth while
do give the effect of being large and
rather heavy, but the floor space they
take up is not great. Two apartments
of precisely the same shape and size
are furnished, one in modern manner

be made into good toasted sandwiches.
Cut the vegetables into neat, small
pieces, heat in a double boiler with a
very little milk or melted butter, sea-
son with pepper and salt and spread
between hot pieces of buttered toast.
Cooked peas, string beans and diced
beets are good together. Cooked celery,
lima beans and beets are good. A lit
tie diced celery may be added to any
combination of cooked vegetables to
improve the mixture, or a little diced
sweet green or red pepper.

ENJOY THIS Way
TO PREVENT
CONSTIPATION
~

The most frequent cause of
illness and poor health is con-
stipation. Its poisons cause
headaches, backaches, dizziness,
lack Of pep-and often lead to
serious disease.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN-a de-
licious ready-to-eat cereal,
protects against constipation.
Two tablespoonfuls, eaten daily,
will prevent and relieve both
temporary and recurring con-
stipation. In stubborn cases,
eat it three times a day.
Isn't this far more pleasant
and far more healthful-than
taking habit-forming pills and
drugs.
ALL-BRAN also provides
iron. which brings a healthy
glow TO compilations. Many de-
licious recipes on the package.

quarters, then cut on a board in very
thin slices. Pour over the fruit five
pints Of cold water and let stand over

keep the fruit covered. Set aside over
night. then drain off the liquid and
measure it. Allow cupful of sugar
for each cupful of liquid. Set the liquid
over the fire with the contents of a
small jar. or one-fourth pot of pre-
served ginger. The ginger should be
cut into very thin slices. Heat to the

and lemon. Allow three-fourths cupful
OF sugar for each cupful of material
Heat the combined fruits to the boiling
point. add the sugar and let cook until
a spoonful jellies when set on a cold

paper and lay this on a cake tray or
sieve. Dry thoroughly with a moderate
heat by putting in a cool oven or on
the plate rack. When dry bottle and
