• PRESERVING FOODS:'
omit Methoda of Keeping Them From
leeway- v
Juicy foods, suit as Yegetablee,
trults and neats. spoil very quielely
when left in the (men air, especially
in summer time. The decay of such
feeds is the result of the actiou of,
miero-organtsras which are always
present in. the aie and hence iufect
ney food material wbich is open to it.
These micro-orgauisms, commonly
known as "bacteria," "germs" or mi-
erobes," are all tante in that in or-
der to grow and 80 produce the de-
coy of the food with which they may
be in contact they must have mois-
ture, the eroper temperature and plenty
of air and must uot be In contact wite
certain chemicals which hinder their
growth and are known as antiseptice
or preservatives.
Drying is the easiest and most effi-
cient 3aaethod of preserving food from
decay, but the neebssary beat to dry
the material rapidly nsually partially
Cooks the food and so cbanges its
flavor. But thoroughly dried foods will
keep indefinitely if kept froin getting
damp.
The next most efficient means of
preservation is to exclude the air in
canning fruits and vegetables. Heat-
ing the material before it is sealed up
does two things—(1) kills most of the
bacteria which are in the food and
/21 drives out the air from it, se that
when the can is sealed up air tight
any bacteria which May not be killed
by the heat cannot grow because they
have no air.
The use of chemical preservatives,
except such harmless ones as salt, sug-
ar or the eroaucts in wood smoke, is
objectionable, lieuause any chemical
which will prevent fermentation will
almost certainly hinder digestion.
Moreover, foods which have been prop-
erly heated and then carefully sealed
do not need added preservatives to
keep them from spoiling.—R. W.

AGRICULTURE IN JAVA.
Connnissioner Stallsmith Arranges For
Exhibits at World's Fair,
Thomas G. Stallsmith, chief of the
department of agriculture and food
products of the Panama -Pacific Inter-
national expositiou and United States
commissioner to the orient and Straits
Settlements, has announced that his
mission abroad has been completed.
COMMISSIONER THOMAS G. STALDSMITH.
In each of the countries he visited
Commissioner Stallsmith received ex-
ceptionally gratifying assurances of
the intention of the nations to partici-
pate in the exposition.
Java will exploit its great production
of coffee and its equally great produc-
tion of tea at the exposition and at-
tempt to acquaint the people of the
(world with the fact that the country
exports large quantities of the finest
tea grown. Commissioner Stallsmith
found much to praise in the system of
Irrigation in Java and reports to the
exposition that a *unique condition in
agricultural achievement exists where
land under constant cultivation for
More than 200 years continues to yield
the highest grade of products in enor-
mous emantities.
Cochin China promised the commis-
BiOner that it 'would have a magnifb
Cent display at the exposition and that
its cennnission would leave for the
33xlited States soon. Commissioner
Stallsmith also reports that the Straits
Settlements and the federated Malay
States will make extensive individual
exhibits.

The War
THE shutting off of imports from
Continental Europe into Can-
ada, due to the War, gives many
home industries an unexampled
opportunity for immense and im-
mediate. developement.
Canada will prosper at the expense
of Continental Europe. This is not a
time in Canada for repining on the
part of the business man. We must
be careful, even frugal, but we must
also be bold:
Victory is for him who has courage

HEN VERSUS HATCH MACHINE
t,
Oh, wbat's more tantalizin'
Than a stubborn cluekin' hen?
You buy some high priced hatchin' eggs
And set her in the pen.
You think you've got her set for keeps;
You'll get of chicks a batch.
Oh, yes that cluck's dandy.
You bet your life she'll hatch!
But you come home from work some
night—
Behold, those eggs are cold!
That Old ben's struttlnround the lot
And sassin' you most bold!
She got stuck on a rooster.
Those eggs could go to grass.
Von counted chicks before they batched,
And you got left. alas:
11.
But what's more tantailzIn'
Than a stubborn hutch machine?
You fill her with five hundred eggs,
And he runs like a dream,
Those eggs cost ilfty dollars.
And you'll make it ten times that.
Just wait until you raise those chicks;
You'll buy your wife a hat.
But that blame thing blows up some night.
You all slide down a rope,
And all you own in this wide world
Is a nightshirt and a hope.
C. M. BARNITZ.
KURIOS FROM KORRESPONDENTS
Q. What is a henny cock? A. A male
bird feathered like a hen.
Q. 1 have been advised to secure fer-
rets to rid my premises of rats. Do
they catch chickens. A. Yes. They
belong to the weasel family—the chick-
en fiends.
Q. My brooder dUcklings last season
had weak bills and rheumatism. Their
bills would bend. What was the
trouble? A. You kept your brooder
too hot and didn't let them out in the
air and on the grotmd soon enough.
Doi't mollycoddle ducklings.
Q. I have been using the — brooder,
and my chickseem listless in the
morning. They are fine When they
eome.from the incubator, and then the
trouble begins. Why is this? A. Your
brooder has unnatural bottom heat.
The Amp throws soot and sraoke
filmes up into the hover, and the
chicks .breefhe the deadly air.
Q. 151ease state difference between
cholera ani roup microbes. A. Chol-
era germ flourishesin hot season, roup
in cold. Cholera germ attacks diges-
tive system, roup the respiretory or -
gene. lii1tt1e sinillarity between the two
except that bughonse methods promote
both.
Q. Why is corn not a good summer
grain? Why do so many egg tandem
eriticisb corn? A. Corn is too heating
for summer and should be only fed
then in a mixed ration.. Egg produeers
do not feed cern heavy because it
too fattening, and tench fat means few
eggs.

We had a friend inquire recently
why his capons didn't grow and fatten

picked them and discovered the reason.
They were so lousy that all the pickers
got lousy, and the little girl had to be

" Now comes another discoverer and
tells us he has discovered how to tell
the sex df eggs and how to control sex

announced such a discovery lived back
in the time of Ananias, and the Ana-
niases and fools aren't all dead yet.
A. so called expert "of many years'
experience" recently stated in a farm
paper "that the death et so many tur-
keys is caused by their eating so many
gyaseboppers and other insects on the
range. This certainly is new news to
turkey raisers, who know better. We
don't wish to accuse the editor of the
publication with city farming, but real-
ly most any city farmer would not let
such folderol g into print,
Several institutes where we lectured
last winter had apples, potatoes, corn,
bread, butter, eggs and live fowls on
exhibition and will add a display of
dressed poultry next year.
The man that can make good has all

the impractical business man, now get
It where the rooster gets the ax.
In these days, when high cost of liv-
ing Makes the life of so many a struge
gle for existence, the main question
With the majority is how to get the
most out of the soil, our poultry, our
work, our hard earned cash. The

for the necessary. Then is it a wonder
when a millionaire spends $500,000 for

When You Suffer
From Your Back
YOUR KIDNEYS MUST BE MONO
Many women work day after day
with an excruciating pain in the back,
and really do not now that the kidneys
are the source of this pain. When the
back starts 0 ache you may be sure that
the kidneys are not working properly,
and the only way possible to make a
complete cure is to take "time by the
forelock:" and get rid of all these aches
and pains by using that old and thor-
oughly tried remedy
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS
Mrs. John Power, Peake Station,
writes:—"I suffered from back-
ache for three years, and I tried all kinds
of medicine but got no relief. I was so
bad at times I would not be able to walk.
A. friend told me to try your Doan's
Kidney Pills, so 1 got five boxes, and
befere 1 had three boxes used I was nearly
well. I used the other two, andel can
say your Doan's Kidney Pills cured nee.
Had it not been for them I would be
suffering yet."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per
box or 3 for $1.25 at all dealers or mailed
direct on receipt of price by The T.
Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.
When ordering direct specify "Doan's."
DON'TS.
Don't hold a grudge. A little bitter-
ness, like gall, can kill much sweet
and spoil a whole life. Rate hung
Ham an.
Don't expect to raise many of your
chicks if you keep them on rank
ground. Their runs should be clean
and green,
Don't abuse the broodies. The hen
that hatches and broods a bunch of
chicks gets a natural rest and lays bet-
ter for it.
Don't let tbe Hee get your chicks.
They kill and stunt much young stock
that louse killer will save.
Don't put off a task becauge iles dis-
agreeable. If a hen is sick treet her
quick.
Don't minimize your mistake's and
magnify another's.
Don't forget that inbreeding results
in decreased vigor and size.
Don't expect stock penned on bare,
dirty runs to breed healthy offspring.
Don't start that incubator without a
thorough inspection. Mice often build
nests in them, and a mouse nest in a
tlue won't do.
• PERT PARAGRAPHS.
pERHAPS the reason some places
seem so untidy and disorderly is
because there are so many broken res-
olutions lying round under foot, cern-
"
bering the ground.
With some people it is never too late
to be later.
The way to keep out of a (menet is
to have tbe first word and not use It.
Commander Peary DM can feel that
he has one perfectly good north pole
and so will be able to keep down his
temperature.
The Engagement Rino.
"Ile hasn't any money."
"Is that the reason why she doeen't
love him any more?"
"No, but it is the reason why she has
turned him out into the cold world to
hustle up and make good or else she'll
ring off."
Disappointments.
"What are you crying about, Jim-
my?"
"All the other boys get to stay out
of school for a week or two except me.
I can't have the measles nor have any
leg broken nor nothing."
Had Pain Around Her
Heart for Three Years
Was Not Safe to Leave Her Alone
Day after day one reads or hears of
many Sudden deathS through heart
failure, and many people are kept in a
state of morbid fear of death, become
weak, worn and miserable, arid are un-
able to attend to either their social or
business duties, through this unnatural
action of the heart.
To all such sufferers Milburn's Heart
and Nerve Pills will give prompt and
permanent relief.
Mrs. Norman H. Bean, Ship Harbor,
N.S., writes—"Por three years 1have
been troubled with a pain around my
heart.1 took medicine from niy loctot
until I found it wes of no use, as it oily
seemed to help inc While I was taking it,
I got so had at last that it was not
safe for rne to be left alone, so havine
heard of Milbern's Heart and Nerve
Pills, I took five boxes of them, and I
can say they helped me to xnuch that
I feel like myself again."
