In cooking veal it is well to xemember that it needs plenty of seasoning; else that it has too little fat for satisfactory broil- ing. For veal chops, cutlets or steak, it is a good plan to season the Meat first, then dip it in four, brown in fat, then cook siowly in a liquid or sauce until tender, Some cooks' dip veal in milk, before rolling, in flour or crumbs, while others soak veal steaks or chops in well-seasoned French dressing before adding the flour coating.

Recent investigations have shown, furthermore, that even very small amounts of this mineral have a poisonous effect if these amounts are steadily consumed oyer a long period of time," Among the cases quoted. by Morrison is one in Michigan, 'Due to the fluorine content in rock phosphate fed to dairy cattle, their teeth became so soft that they could not chew their feed peoperly. After two years the teeth were so worn that the animals were unable to drink cold water because of the pain, but lapped it up like dogs. Other experiments in Wiscon- sin gave similar results over a somewhat longer periodand the cows had poor appetites, lost weight and declined in milk production. Oestrum was de- layed following calving, and the calves were smaller than normal ?. t birth. In view of the little definite information available as to the safety with which products con- taining appreciable amounts of fluorine can be fed to the vari-'. ous classes of live stock, Morri- son advises the use of a safe phosphorus supplement such as nip ioeHnne m t t ehaalt concludes' with the state- "it would seem especially unwise to feed these fluorine - containing products in , appreciable amounts to breeding animals for any extended length of time." .* This column welcomes criti- cism, suggestions,and questions, whether in the frin of brick- bats or ".banquets.

Falie kesufation * • a tie le MOD) FLUDRIDAVON One of the most important parts of good animal husbandry is the feeding of a balanced ra- tion, which is usually described as furnishing protein, earbee hydrates, fat and minerals in such proportion and amount as will properly nourish e, given animal for 24 hours, It is fairly easy to achieve a satisfactory mixture of the first three mentioned nutrients, pro- tein, carbohydrates and fat, simply by sticking to long estab- lished and time proven formu- las. However, when it comes to the question of mineral supple- ments, opinions vary and vary considerably, While the average farmer may buy a commercial mineral mixture without pay- ing too much attention' to the ingredients, the expert , breeder and feeder will spend consider- able time and money to find the mineral mixture most suit- able for his herd. Minerals have many vital functions in the body, some of which are known; but there is, still' a large gap in the know- ledge concerning the majority. Paying "little attention to the so called trace minerals, meaning minerals appearing and needed only in small traces like iron, copper, iodine, boron etc; the practical farmer understands the necessity of feeding the two main elements, calcium and phosphorus. He knows th a t without feeding calcium and phosphorus in one form or an- other, he is liable to run ,into trouble. Far too few though realize that it is equally impor- tant to ascertain the sources from which these , minerals are gained Fluorine The safest .supplement which will _giye both, calcium ,and phosphorus, are steamed bone meal, raw •hone rneal, spent bone black and dicalcium phosphate. If rock phosphates 'are used, however,• the careful feeder will make, quite , sure that the fluo- rine, -usually contained in it, has been' removed, to avoid any .detrimental- effects on his -ani- mals, .. in the ball park, hurriedlycalled ,the 'game and. got,, out •••,of the vicinity as fast as he could. , When his playing days` Were over, "Dummy" Taylor left the game' of baseball ,with a proud ambition td find some youngster who" Wanted 'to play ball in' the . big time. He searched for many yeare until, one day, he came across an eager kid named _Dick Sipek. Taylor thought he saw in the boy the makings of a major leagner. He Watched him care- fully, gave him instruction, and finally got him up to the Bir- mingham team in the minor leagues. There, Dick Sipek made so -fine a record that he i2vas _picked up by the Cincinnati. Reds. Dick made good as a ma- jor league outfielder. Of course; the •oldtime "Dummy" Taylor, • was tickled pink at the kid's •success. Any- one -would be happy to send an ambitious youngster to the ma- jor leagues. But "Dummy" Tay- lor was especially proud and happy because Diek Sipek was more than just an ordinary rookie, whq made good. He, too, was deaf and dumb. ; A.

Genuine Sourdough - Starter For Sale Salesman Knew He Was Dumb How To:Pick 'Ern Every time someone mentions the travelling salesman, you ex- pect 'a story about a farmer's daughter, but you'd be surprised to know that travelling sales- men have contributed in their own particular way important chapters to sports history. Back in 1907, a travelling salesman in. Weiser, Idaho, with time on his hands stopped for' a while to watch a sandlot ball game. A tall angular youngster pitched in the game. As the travelling salesman watched with his mouth hanging open, the youngster whizzed the ball over the plate with the speed of a rifle bullet. Then, coming out of his' fascinated trance, the salesman grabbed a hack and • One of the great clowns . of baseball — and a more than fair pitpher , at that -- was Arthur "Bugs" Raymond.

After all, sandlot play- ers were a dime a dozen. The salesman continued to send wires, however, raving about the youngster.

They nicknamed him "Dummy" Taylor but he was nobody's dummy. In his prime,. Taylor pitched for old John McGraw, and the New York Giants. He had to be more than just good, for his pitching team mates were such stars as Christy - Mathewson, "Snake" Aisles, and Iron-man Joe McGinnity.

He won many a hard -game for tough .old John McGraw. - , - In spite - of • his bandicap, "Dummy" was' one of the most adroit umpire-baiters in the game. There was the time when " he was on the mound pitching a particularly tough game. It began to rain suddenly, along about the fourth inning, and grew guile dark.
