FISH DISHES

A NY kind of fish in the market may
1 be used with little variation for
these recipes. When one can purchase
a thick slice or fillet of rich fish
there is little waste A pound goes
long way Any that is left may be
used in salad. souffles, or creamed
and served on toast.
Baked FiIIet.
Wash the fish and wipe dry Melt
tablespoonful of butter and brush over
the fish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper
and rub gently with a tablespoonful
of flour. Put on the rack of rooster,
cover and bake forty minutes in
rather hot oven. The flour and butter
will make nice crust over the fish.
Serve with wedges of lemon and gar.
nish with parsley.
BroiIed FiIIet of Haddock.

ing pan less. When one has a stove
with good broiler there is no reason
to use frying pan. 1t is the simplest
thing in the world to broil your break
fast bacon, chops and steak on a
broiler. 1t must be carefully watched
of course, but the results are worth
while. Have the broiler hot. grease
the rack lightly and lay on the fiIlet

turn and cook on both sides until well
done. AS soon as it is placed on a

tablespoonfuls of melted butter and
two of lemon juice. Dust with pep

To Feed Grain Properly
One Must "KnOW" Herd

Feeding grain economically to cows
requires in the first place that we
know what each cow in the herd is
producing. This, in turn, means that
we must weigh the milk from each
cow ar fairly frequent intervals and
have samples of the milk tested for
butterfat. Granted that we know the
production of each COW, rough and
ready rule is to feed one pound of
grain to each four pounds of milk pro-
duced by Holstein cows testing around
3.5 per cent fat. Extra good produc-
ers-say cows producing 80 to 60
pounds of milk daily-will require
larger proportion of grain than this
and COWS near the end of lactation
period and giving 10 pounds or less
will not require as much. There will
never be a rule so good that the feeder
will not have to rely somewhat on his
own judgment. An Ayrshire COW, CIV
ing richer milk, might have pound
of grain to three and a half pounds
milk, a Guernsey one to three and a
Jersey one to two and three quarters
pounds.

fat fish and he meant to have it. AT
first he was simply mildly threatening.
He did not want TO hurt Plunger. Not
that he cared particularly for Plunger.
He didn't. His reason for not wanting
to hurt Plunger was purely selfish,
suspect. He wanted that particular
fish, but he would want more fish In
the future, and if he hurt Plunger and
disabled him, who would catch those
fish for him i'm the future? So his
whole idea was merely to brighten
Plunger into dropping tnat fish.
PIunger knew this, for PIunger is
no fool, and so he held on and hoped
with all his might that King Eagle
would lose patience and give up. And
at last King Eagle did lose patience,
but with nc intention of giving up.
He began TO lose his temper. Plunger
saw a sudden change in the fierce eyes
of King Eagle. They grew more
fierce. Plunger's heart failed and he
shivered with fear.
"Stop fooling and drop that fish,"
Kissed King Eagle.
With a scream of rage and disap-
pointment Plunger obeyed. He didn't
dare do otherwise. The king was no
longer to be denied. 1t was might and
not right that gave him his way.

Raise Only Good Calves

Healthy calves are advocated as
sure source of healthy, producing dairy
cattle. Dairymen who add to their
herds by purchase frequently increase
their troubles, according to DIR. j. +.
Iverson chief of the California division
of animal industry, because it rarely
happens that healthy, producing cows
can be bought cheap. Doctor Iverson
stresses that only good calves from
cows of known production AMI good
type should be raised. Such calves, he
says, when segregated soon after birth
and fed milk, pasterized. or known to
be from tuberculOsis-free cattle. be-
come desirable dairy cows, free from

STORY FOR BEDTIME
By THORNTON w. BURGESS

oh. who shall say to the king, Nay,
nay?
Not /! Not 1!
Oh. who shall refuse the king his way?
Not /! Not l!
For the king is great and the king is
strong,
And the king, you know. can do no
wrong.
a T LEAST that is the way kings
\ themselves seem to think. Too oft
en- they think that might makes right.
You and | know better. But kings,
poor things, never have had the ad
vantages that we have. Too often
they never have learned to do things
for themselves, because they never
have had to do things for themselves.
They simply command that things be
done for them. And, so. because they
have this power to command, they
too often have come to think that
they have a right to command any
thing that they please. They can
not understand that other people have
rights.
1t is some times this way with King
Eagle. He likes fish, but he never
has learned to catch them for himself.
So because he likes fish and wants
fish and is big enough and strong
enough, he feels that he has a per-
feet right to take them from Plum
ger the Fish Hawk, and that Plunger
should gladly give them up at his de-
mand because he is the king. If he
were not the king, | suspect he would
be called just plain robber. But no
one thinks of calling the king rob-
ber-that is, no one hut Plunger.
When fishing is good and Plunger
can catch plenty without half trying,
he doesn't much mind giving up few
to King Eagle. He may gyumble a lit
tie, but that is all. But when, as on
this particular morning, he has fished
patiently for long time without
catching single fish. snd then when
he is almost ready to give up, does
catch fine, big fat fish, he thinks 1t
rather too much to have King Eagle
suddenly appear and demand that fish.
So Plunger made up his mind that he
would not give it up until he absolute
ly had to. in spite of King Eagles or.
ders TO drop il.
Now, Plunger the Fish Hawk is
wonderful flyer. but. wonderful as he
is, King Eagle is still more wonder
full flyer. and Plunger knows it. In
spite of this he did his best to out
fly King Eagle. But the fish was big
and heavy, and so of course Plunger
could not fly his best. He lodged this
way and that way, mounted high in
the air aid dropped suddenly, all the
time working toward the Green Forest
But all the time King Eagle kept right
with him without half trying, actually
tapping his great wings in Plunger's
very face. and all the time command

Chickens a Life Saver,
Saws Ohio POultrVman

r. w. Sweitzer, poultryman, has told
the Ohio Farmer how he managed to
reduce feed costs in his flocks. "TO
make money we had to press down on
feed COSTS" says Sweitzer. He believes
the cost of grinding grains for poultry
is wasted expense. He feeds free
choice ration with corn, wheat, germi-
mated oats, meat scraps and milk be-
fore the birds at all times. Greens are
supplied by cabbage and apples and
cod liver oil is fed in the grain.
Mr.. Sweitzer raises all his grain and
buys only concentrates. Last year."

through our hens" Dairy cows were
his main line until disease broke out
and he had to sell his stock. "Our
chickens at this time proved life

Feed More Grain

study of market prices gives a
lot of food for thought just now, es-
pecialiy for the dairy farmer who
buys a lot of his feed. A couple of
years ago nutrients could be purchased
most cheaply in clover hay, while tim
othy hay was fourth on the list at
S13 per ton. Now, according to COM
putatiOns of a contemporary, timothy
is the most expensive of feeds and
red clover is more expensive feed
than oats, wheat, alfalfa hay, barley,
gluten feed and shorts. The change
in price levels means that farmers
can proftably cut down on the amount
of hay fed and feed grain more liber-
ally.

FOOD OF QUALITY
FOR BREEDING HENS
Only Way to Get Best Eggs
and Healthy Chicks.

"POultry has suffered along with
other farm crops, but due to the drop
in feed prices in proportion to the
prices being received for eggs, and be-
cause of the mild winter permitting
production to stay at level, poultry
men have been much encouraged to go
ahead with their work." says Roy 5.
Dearstyne, head of the poultry depart
ment at North Carolina state college.
However, some poultrymen have at
tempted to increase their margin or
profit by decreasing the feeding or sub
stituting certain feeds which do not
give as good results. One Of the main
substitutions being practiced is to use
vegetable protein feeds for animal pro-
tein feeds. Soy bean meal and peanut
meal are good if used in limited guam
titles, but they should not entirely dis
place the animal protein, especially
when production is heavy and the eggs
are being used for hatching.'
Any radical change from the usual
methods of feeding at this time is like
ly to be reflected In the hatchaDlllty
of the eggs or the INABILITY of the
chicks, Mr.. Dearstyne says. The breed
ing hens should be fed so that they
will produce only the highest quality
of eggs.
Mr.. Dearstyne insists that green
feed, plenty of sunlight, an adequate
mineral supply and milk in some form.
should be fed the birds to get the best
eggs for producing healthy chicks. II
the breeding birds are to be through a
long laying season and maintain body
weight, they must be fed a balanced
ration. 1t is particularly unwise to de.
pend on grain feeds alone without
mash.

Watch Profits

A recent test at the Mitchell, Ne
praska. experiment station shows
that cows on roughage alone produced
milk and butterfat cheaper but the
total value of the product above feed
cost was less than with cows which
got ggrain in addition to the rough
age. James A. Holden, who conducted
the test, sums ii up by saying that
the cows receiving grain paid more
than the market price for it. He adds
that farmers having cows capable of
producing over 800 pounds of butterfat
for a year on silage and hay alone
will find that it pays to add good
grain mixture at present feed prices

A cellar is the best location for the

Causes of Paralysis

Paralysis is occasionally seen In
chickens that are heavily fed and grow
rapidly. 1t is also seen where there
is overcrowding and poor ventilation.
Let them have plenty of sour milk and
green feed and add one teaspoonful
of fluid extract of nux vomica to each
pint of drinking water.
There is form of paralysis that at
lacks mostly young birds, for which
there Is no treatment of any value and
Is usually fatal. In cases of this kind,
it is advisable to get new flock and
put them in new buildings on clean
land. Changing the old flock to new
ground or buildings does not stamp
out the disease.-Michigan Farmer.
