Nee Milk Strike Threatens

THE dairy farmer of the New York milk
] shed Is looking back to the days Of the
first milk strike IN effort to remedy con-
ditiofs which have become almost disastrous
In the heyday OF the Dairymens Leagues price
activities, the dairyman received well over s. .
hundred pounds for his milk, based on per
cent butterfat with q differential Of cents
a hundred for each tenth of l per cent but
terfat over the base percentage.
At the present time the price Is Is cents
a hundred and the farHar who can produce
milk at that price, even with feed prices as
low as they and show q pro1t, is rare
individual.
Because of this situation, the old strike"
idea Is being revived. Organizers have been
active for half year signing farmers up to
an agreement IL withhold their milk pend
ing the offering of a better price. Up to the
present about 10000 signatures have been re-
ceived, but this number is still short of the
total needed before sufficient milk could be
withdrawn from the market to force an In
crease in price.
The organizing work is going on steadily,
however and those backing it hope that be-
fore very much longer they will be in a posi-
ton to call strike and withhold milk in suf-
ficient quantity from the New York City mar
ket to obtain a price which will show some
margin of profit.

now and then making its way onto the hook
The sunfish, incidentally, coming into the boat
hroadside gives the impression of real fish
until 1t IS brought to the surface and its real
identity established
Small perch only two inches or 50 in length
are often caught at this anchorage. These are
hooked on a larger hook in such a manner
that they can swim. They are then turned
loose in the water and in time across the
path Of marauding pickerel. The pickerel,
hungry and spying a fish which cannot run
from 1t, sezeS the perch cross ways in Its mouth
and swims off with it. After a time the
pickerel turns the perch head os< and sval-
lows it. The fms Of the perch preveHe = from

THE selection Of the present post Office site,

by the writer
When Senator Stanford came to Congress in
1885. he vas placed on the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds. and later he made
chairman of the committee At this time. John
B. Mccarthy was representing here out
of-town paper, and Senator Stanford drafted
him as secretary Of the committee, OF which he
was chairman. 1t was during this time that the
question OF the selection of site for the post
Once came up causing the Senator much
trouble
Finally, one day. the two were riding up
the Avenue. the Senator turned to his secretary,
and in sheer desperation said Mccarthy
where would you put the post of6ce?" Being Is
anxious as his chief to close the matter once
and for all time. he promptly replied. Right

WiM Bees Capture

CAPTURING wild bees is problem OF
- catching the queen for the workers and
drones will follow the queen. Hot, sunny days
are the best time for capturing swarming bees,
for the bees are better natured and less likely
to kick up rumpus.
On rainy OF cloudy. muggy days it takes
very little to get the bees all 'riled up and
they are likely to go into action with their
stingers on the slightest provocation.
Bees captured this time of year must be fed,
sugar being used when prices are as low
they are now. The bees in fairly short time
can fill the combs inside the "skips" and will
feed on this accumulated honey over the
Winter. When Spring comes they more than
repay the cost of their Winter feed by the
return in natural honey which they produce
during the Towering seasons

M0SS-Gatherery Achve

THE so-called general" farmer who makes
his annual income by means of a series of
activities which yields small sums for the
individual activity, but a stable amount for
the years total, often have strange ways of
earning. For instance. there is fair income
to be derived from gathering moss The type
that grows in water is particularly desired by
florists in the New York area.
1t Is common sight while driving through
the Catskill Mountains to see long pieces of
moss festooned over fences. drying for ship
ment to market. The moss is usually gathered
by the children and women folk on the farm
and makes welcome addition 10 the income

IL years old, named John and George The boys
in the neighborhood always looked up to the
senior MI Rivers a sort of Buffalo Bill be-
cause he was able to handle the lines Of four
horses and drive one OF the big mail wagons.
The City Post ONCE at this time was in the
F street side of the building; at least that was
where the registration and stamp windows were
located. This was before the days of asphalt
streets. and many Of the roadways were paved
with cobblestones. The wooden or block pave
ment, which only few years before had been
laid on some Of our thoroughfares. was then
being taken up. having been found to be a
failure
Eighth street. near the post once was paved
with stones. and these big wagons made con-
siderable noise as they we're drawn through the
streets. They entered the court for loading by
way Of the Eighth street side and at times the
area In the center OF the building was crowded
With these wagons. Tubes. chutes tunnels and
neehantcaI devices Of all kinds have largely
done away with the necessity for large teams

Some of us may think it takes unnecessarily
long to construct the public buildings now under
way or just completed. but from the time the act
of Congress was passed to acquire the Post
Once site-June rs. l89o-until the building
was completed just nine years had elapsed No
wonder Stanford died in the meantime.
Only a few years ago the section in which
the new Post ONCE Department Building is to
stand was one of the Wlest places In
Washington
But this was not to last always. and IS or 80
years ago the good women Of Washington had
this neighborhood thoroughly cleaned up. and
the section which had gained the unsavory
name Murder Bay through the number Of
murders and other crimes committed there, was
wiped out Of existence. With the vast Govern
ment improvements going on there today, In
short while from one Of Washingtons worst
sections 1t viii become one of the handsonlest
spots in the city.
When the Post Once Department moved here
in 1900. Postmaster General Joseph HAbersham
left al the arrangements to his assistant, Mr..
Bradley, preferring to remain 1t hts home IN
Georgia. Upon the present occasion, however,
we are assured. Postmaster General Walter ?.
Brown will be on hand and take an active part
In assisting the President in laying the corner
stone upon what will soon grow the greatest
temple thus far erected to the postal servtoo.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME

like apple or mince pie, it will be espe-
cially delicious There are three types
Of baking powder on the market, and
all are safe to use. but these three
types differ in their leavening power
Baking powder does not deteriorate
from standing. therefore the housewife
should buy a rather large supply at one
time.
When preparing boiled custard, If
YOU have not taken the time to allow
the milk to Scald in double boiler, but
have used an ordinary saucepan, and
the intense heat has caused it to curdle
turn the custard quickly into a cold
bowl and beat it vigorously with an egg
beater. If this does not remedy the
trouble. take level tablespoonful Of
cornStarch, moisten it with cold water
add 1t to the custard, and leave it in
the double boiler just long enough to
cook the cornstarch, then strain. You
will save eggs and milk.
When baking custards, it is often
difficult to keep the rice or coeonut or
other solids in a custard from sinking
to the bottom. A good way to avoid
this is TO have the baking dish filled
with boiling water up to the minute
that the euStard is pat it. Pour out
the water of course. The heat thus
generated begins to cook the egg at
once and prevents the sinking of the
heavier parts to the bottom. The only
reason for scalding milk to be used for
custardS or white sauce Is to shorten
the cooking process afterward which is
practical only when more than a quart
of milk is used, which is not often the
case in regular home cooking.
Bananas should be kept in 4 mod

absorbs odors easily therefore it should
always be stored in air r-tight containers
and kept in a cool place
We may think that shredded cocoa
nut has little or no food value. but il
contains considerable fat. protein and
carbohydrate. and so. considering its
small cost, is a well worth while atldi-
ton to our daily menus Here are some
suggestions for the use OF cocoanut
which may be a little different from
usual.
Next time you make vegetable SOUP.
try putting in one-fourth cup Of shred =
ded or moist-packed cocoanut to each
quart Of soup. Use about the same
amount or a little more in your cur
ried chicken recipe
This salad recipe Is a bit tliEtraa,
and is delicious for those who like CO.
coanut:
Apple -COcOanut Salad.
One-half cup shredded or moist CO.
coanut. two apples, pared, cored, diced !:
one cup celery, diced; two tablespoons

The native uses the trunk Of the
palm tree. which has beautiful grain
and is durable, for a house The leaf
stalk makes the rafters and the roof is
matched with leaves A mating for
his floor Is made from the outside husk
OF the cocoanut which furnishes the
coir or fiber This same fiber can sup
ply the native with clothing, cordage or
fishing lines. Brooms he makes OF the
ribs of the leaves and the old leaves he
utilizes in making baskets. Cups and
fans can be carved from the nuts. He
can even make a canoe from the cocoa
nut wood, sewn together.
AS for the food value Of the whole
cocoanut-the native can maintain life
on this fare; but ne must eat the green
as we'll as the ripe nuts
The ripe nutS are rich in oil. which
is used by the natives for frying pur-
poses This same cocoanut oil is used
commercially to make nut-butter which
some use as a butter substitute. The
natives also use this oil TO make their
soap and candles.
All of this. and we think Of cocoanut
as confectionery. or as Just nut! Now
to come back to our real subject. For
our convenience, cocoanuts are shredded
by machine. mixed with a little sugar,
then dried and sold in airtight pack
ages. The more modern manufacture Of
shredded cocoanut has given us moist
packed product which is as sweet and
tender and full-f1avored as the fresh
nut itself.
Either or both of these two forms OF
shredded cocoanut we use in the home
for cakes, candies and desserts, and
both prove q short cut which manufac-
turers also use for like purposes.
Shredded cocoanut is found on the
retail market in paper cartons. dried

pears of fancy grade are packed in
heavier sirup than peaches and april
cots of the same grade. When buying
citrus fruits be sure that the fruit is
heavy for its size. In many cases the
flavor of the standard grade Of a can
ned fruit is quite as good as that of
the fancy grade. Dates are not washed
before being marketed. as this would
impair their keeping quality. 1t is just
as safe to buy and use bulk dates as
package dates if those in bulk or kept
clean and covered.
When f1avoring any cooked mixtures.
such as custards and the like, let them
cool thoroughly first. Otherwise the
warmth will cause the f1avoring to
escape. A test for the quality of
lemon extract is to place a few drops
on a clean piece Of blotting paper, and
if the aroma is strong after the alcohol
has evaporated it is a good quality.
